wealth, who was looking for southern in

lud' the highest recommendation, as he
was polished scoundrei with divine

An Arkansas Judge Abruptly Stops an
Offensive LAWYER.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3.-A special to the Post
Dispatch from Little Rock, Ark, says there
was sensation in court this morning.
While Daniel g. Jones, a leading witness in
the Woodruff case was testifying, John M.
Moore, one of Woodruff's counsel. became
angry at Judge Lea because of certain
questions the judge propounded to the wit
ness. Moore said the court appeared in
clined to act the part of examiner as we'll as
Judge. He stood it all along and kept his
mouth closed because the court was sup
posed to hold the scales of justice evenly
balanced.
"Stop, Mr.. Moore" said Judge Lea,
"Don't 10 any farther. You can have your
objections entered on the records, but tho
court conceives it his right and duty to
elicit all facts, either for or against the
state"
.But,'' replied Moore, "Your honor has
not to this hour asked any questions for
the defense.'
II don't want to hear anything from
you," said Judge Lea sharply. II l say any
thing here that You don't like you can soc
me elsewhere" Quiet was then restored
and the examination proceeded. Tho
cashiers of two banks testified that they had
borrowed money from Woodruff to the
amount of $l50, 600, giving government and
other bonds as security therefor.

LONDON, Nov. 8.--Instead OF being an
Fnoyed at Suliivan's MANY contradictions,
Slavin Ia delighted TO think that the Amer
loan will at last give him chance TO light.
Slayin will leave for America during the
last week of November, and will then be
prepared to make match with the big fell

lates that the battle must be with sInnll
gloves and to finish before any Legitimate

With the enthortiss and h whsre Ml.ehs,l
ia surprised at Sullivan'a denial Of the
meeting in st. Louis. Slayin went there
for the oxpress purpose OF finding out
whether Sullivan wanted to fight or not.
sullivan then told Slavin that he had re-
| tired from the business.
"But if 90 back again," said John u.
lyon shall have the first chance with me-"
This conversation took place in the big fell

Louis Globe Democrat and nearly every
paper in America. blavin can not under
stand why Sullivan should deny it now.
Slavin said:
ut is pity that Sullivan did not accept
the offer made by the Melbourne Athletic
club to find purse Of 5000 and side bet

be made by either English or American

carry backers around with them. Anyway,

Sullivan will really fight. If he puts up 9
forfeit with the Herald he can rest assured
that will attend to it. ! shall expect the
club giving the purse to furnish me my
expenses. would see that Sullivan got his
expenses if he fought in England or AUS

English sporting mon are betting three to

If there waa any advantage gained it was
in our favor. Our side was not heard. We

whether he would compromise. II will

Complicated Cause.

Failure Not Duo to Dealings With Evans
Complicated Cause.
BosToN, Nov. 3.-Asa p. Potter, president
Of the embarrassed Maverick National
bank, to-day says the Josses of the bank on
account of its dealings with Irving A. Evans
will be about 100000, if the collateral
could be judiciously disposed of. The
banks dealings with Evans can in no
sense be considered the direct cause for
suspension. Potter declared. The real
cause of the failure, he says, is somewhat
complicated. Potter declares that the
clearing house committees who examined
the assets of the bank placed their value
far below what they are worth, thus show
ing a large deficit. He added II allowed
to wind up the affairs of the Maverick bank
SO that no depositor and no stockholder
would lose one dollar. All facts about tho
banks condition and about its manage
ment will officially be made known in the
course of time. Pending that, I am con-
tent to await the outcome of events"
