the shape of letter addressed to Mrs
Meade, as follows:

According to Starr's statement he sub
sequently learned that his information on
the subject was unreliable, and he went
to Meade and his wife and apologized for
the contents Of the letter. His apology
was not accepted. The warrant was
served upon him yesterday afternoon,
but he had anticipated such action and
was ready with a bail bond, which was
fixed by Judge Cravens at $500.

What is lacking is truth

If there were absolute
truth on the one hand and
absolute confidence on the

T,v. Psr,.h in ,ae FLAMES.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. l3.-One ofthe
most disastrous fires in years, from the
fact that an entire family were con-
sumed, occurred here early this morn
lug, in row OF tenement houses on
North High street. The exact orISln I3II %, 9.
first alarm flames were seen shooting
from the roof, lickiag up everything
within grasp. The fremen endeaVered
to enter the rooms, bu3 the dense smoke
made this useless. Ono of tie captains
did get partially inside the building but
was pulled out again, nearly sutfocated.
Two hours were consumed in gaining
control of the flames. and long ere that
every person was supposed to have es-
capped. Such, however was mol she
case.
twas nearly i O'Clock this afternoon
when a little girl living in the nelghbor,,
hood, with childish curiosity, rummaSeol
through the ruins and found naked
arm. which led to a serach and the uitl
mate discovery of five blackened bodies,
burned to crisp and beyond recoSn1-
ton. The entire family OF Charles Beth
srs was destroyed while sleeping 10 a
little s by - room in the second story;
They were Charles Bethers, aged ~
wears: Elizabeth, his wife aged 2S; Car
RE, aged 9; Myrtle. aged {, and James,
aged 8.
The clock on the mantel had stopped
at 1925 a. M, indicating the hour OF the
fire. In fighting the flames two OF the
pipemen stood 10 window senohs a
stream into this room, without discover
ing the dying occupants, who were un'
conscious aud unable to utter CRY.

Brutal Attack on Sam SmailS.

ATLANTA Nov. 12.-There was a
short but lively fight in Nash's barber
shop on Peachtcee street shortly after
noon. The participants we're Rev. Sam
Small, the well known evangelist and
one CT the leaders Of the anti-barrem
movement, and Thomas 8. Minor. a
saloon keeper at 1856 Decatur street.
Certain illusions which MIR. Small
had made in his public speeches at Pro-
hibition hall about Sir. Minor and his
saloon are what brought about the a.
tack. 1t lasted only about ha:f a min
ute, and WAS over before anyone o@t-
side OF the b2rbershop could have their
attention attracted.
Mr.. Small! was seen and asked about
the difficulty, and said:
"He didn't hurt NE mach, for held
up my arm this way and warded OIL
the blows. Pretty soon we clutched
and fell to the floor. WAS uuder the
man. The barber here pulled him on
and as he went cut OF the door he said:
L reckon you'll know Tom Minor
now"
"Do you know what he attacked you
for?' was asked.
"Yes. I stated in my speeches at
prohibition hall that I had been told
that policemen we're stationed 10 front

take care of the buns that came out.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Mrs. Gretchen
Lenzenhager and her l5-year-old son
George was found dead in the forEer's
saloon at 444 South Clark street this
morning. The woman was choked to
death By unknown robbers, who then
beat aud choked the boy until lie lett
his bcdy. The robbers forced open the
till in the saloon and ransacked the
drawers behind the bar. The three ll7-
M rocns of the woman in the rear OF
the salecn also showed signs OF the
murderers. The bed clothing was torn
from the beds; drawers were pulled from
the bureau and thsir contents scattered
all over the floor. Everything which
was capable ofconcsalins any valrables
was thoroughly ransacked. Mrs. Len,
zen..ser and her son lived alone, and
made but few intimate acquaintance,
but the woman aad frequently expressed
her lack CT confidence in banks, and it
was cormonlv ramorcd around the
neishborhood that she had considerable
wealth secreted about the premises.
The woman was last seen when she
closed her saloon shortly before mid
night. The police are en3eavorlng to
find out who were her last customers,
ard expect that they soon will have
come definite clue to the perpetrators OF
the crime.

Rev. Wheedler and all the others
