THE Alp PER CENT BOND EXTENSION.
SECRETARY FOSTER SAID TO FAVOR TWO PEI
CENT RATE, BUT LOWER ONE
MAY Be FIXED.


Washln rton June sScveral offers for the extension
of 40 per cent bonds were received at the Treasury
Department this morning. One Of 100000 at the
rate Of per cent. This from private citizen
The others were at any rate the Department decided
on They were all from Western banks
Secretary Foster called on the President this morn
ing and Informed him Of the result OF his recent
ference with the bankers and brokers Of New-York
and n their prorered willingness to take up the entire
40 per cent loan II extended at per cent. No
conclusion was reached at this conference to the
best course 10 be followed. The question will be
again considered at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
There is u great conflict Of opinion as to the future
action OF the Treasury Department with respect to this
lean but il Is generally understood that Secretary
Foster favorS It's extension at per cent. He ad-
mItted as much this afternoon lie said that such
a course wonh raise the credit Of the Government and
at the same time enable the National banks to Increase
their circulation, thing greatly needed after tho
recent heavy shipments of gold lie said, however,
that there were many strong arguments in favor OF
an extension at a lower rate Of interest that he really
did not know but what it might finally be concluded
to fix the rate at l per cent.
A statement prepared at the Treasury Department
shows that the IL per cent bonds held By National
banks are geographically distributed follows:
MiOaie sa Sts;es .''-'''''.'' SGGggf'gV0
Total OIL $50
This shows that the Western banks which arc said
to favor the / per rate hold more than one hair
Of the entire amount owned 10y National banks and
more than the banks Of the New England and Middle
States combined The strongest point in favor of tho
per cent is the agreement OF the Eastern bankers
to purchase the entire outstanding loan Of $50 900
at that rate while the Western bankers known 10 favor
the l per cent rate have Ear spoken only with
respect TO the bonds now held by them.

NEARING A WIND-UP.
The ArSume emit o. tho Liberty Street
Paving Casa to BeR.n To-day.

The Argument OF tho Liberty Street
Paving Casa to Begin To-day.
The arguments in the Liberty street
pavement case will begin to-day, and the
jury will likely get the case tomorrow.
The interest in this case continues una
bated. 1t has been from the start one of sthe
most hotly contested legal fights ever before
Savaunah's courts Every technical point
has been taken advantage Of by both sides
The contention OF tbs attorneys for Maj.
Bacon is that the levying OF the assessment
is unconstitutional, from the fact that more
Improvement was made than the ordinance
provided for. The property owners, they
claim, did not have notice that the extra
improvements were to be made, and that
there were substantial deviations from the
ordinance to pave Liberty street, the assess
ment embracing items not mentioned 10 the
ordinance This. Messrs. Richards and
Saussy claim, makes the assessment null
and void. The ordinance called for 25-foot
roadway, and the assessment of S5 AZ G foot
against abutting property Is claimed to be
excessive.
The city contends that it made only
necessary improvements, which 1t had the
authority to do, and which are within tina
scope of the ordinance. The claim Of ex-
cessive charge is denied, and it Is held that
nothing was done which was contrary TO
law.
The city has had several city officials on
the stand to prove its case. The jury hos
been entertained with maps of Liberty
street, showing the manner in which the
pavement was laid, including the street
intersections, which was the point on which
a nonsuit was asked for and refused
James L. Rankin of the city treasurer's
office, was longer on the stand than any
other witness. He testified to the levylng
of the assessment and the issuance of the
bills from the treasurer's Office. City En-
gineer Winn gave a detailed account of the
laying Of the pavement from an engineering
point of view He considers that the as
sessment is all right.
No matter which way the case goes the
supreme court will probably have to pass
upon it.
Judge Falligant asked Attorney Saussy
yesterday when he expected to get through
with the case. The witty lawyer blandly
informed the court that it would be long
after the pavement is worn out, referring
to its pliable condition.

Two of the Participants Mortally
Wounded and the Third Full of Shot.
From the Chicago Tribune.
LOUISVILLE, KY. June 26.-One of the
most desperate shooting affrays ever known
in this vicinity took place at o'clock this
morning at the house of Joseph Watson a
farmer, living eight miles from the city.
The principals were White Stewart, Dud-
ley Alsop and Sidney Smith, all members
Of well-know n families residing in the vi
cinity of Pleasure Ridge Park. Smith is an
overseer on tie Watson farm, and not long
since heard that Alsop was circulat-
ing some scandalous stories about
Miss Watson, the 17-year- old daugh-
ter Of the formers employer. aud had
given Smith as his informant. Smith said
that Alsop had himself originated the stories
about the young lady and denounced him
as liar and traducer. This was brought
to Alsop's ears, and he declared that be
would settle with Smith. Armed with re-
volvers Alsop and Stewart drove to the
Watson farm and asked for Smith. Smith
came walking out to the buggy, and when
within a few yards of the vehicle Alsop
pulled his pistol and fired. The bullet
struck the young farmer in the right breast
Smith fell, but arose almost instantly with his
pistol drawn and began firing rapidly at AL
sop. Stewart AID Alsop had in the mean
time alighted from the buggy, the former
taking position off to Smiths left and the
latter remaining near the buggy. One of
Smiths bullets struck Alsop in the left side,
but glanced off the ribs, doing little injury.
Stewart then opened fire on Smith and the
engagement became triangular, Smith was
again shot, this time by Stewart. The ball
entered his left breast, tearing a hole
through his lung. One of Smiths bullets
struck Stewart in the groin, but he held his
ground and continued firing Finally, when
about fifteen shots had been exchanged,
Smith tainted from pain and loss of blood
and sank TO the ground. Alsop and Stewart
made for the buggy, but a hired man named
Fitzgerald appeared upon the scene with a
shotgun and opened fire. The gun was loaded
with bird shot. The first charge took effect
in Stewards back. Stewart staggered to-
ward the buggy, into which he was assisted
by Alsop, who Immediately jumped in also,
aud started to drive. Then Fitzgerald dis
charged the other barrel of his gun. The
shot scattered considerably, some taking
effect in Alsop's body and others injuring
the horse. Before the man could procure
another qua Alsop and Stewart had disap-
peared down the road. Smith and Stewart
will both die, but Alsop's wound is not
dangerous.
