ATLANTA, Nov 49, 3-There was a

noon. The participants were Rev. Sam
Small, the well known evangelist and
one OF the leaders of the anti-barroom
movement, and Thomas A. Minor, a
saloon keeper at 1876 Decatur street.
Certain illusions which Mr.. Small
had made in his public speeches at Pro-
hlbltion hall about Mr.. Minor and his
saloon are what brought about the at
tack. 1t lasted only about half min
ute, and was over before any one out
side of the barr0om could have their
attention attracted.
Mr.. Small was seen and asked about
the difficulty, and said:
He didn't hurt me much, for held
up my arm this way and warded off
the blows. Pretty soon we clutched

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. Is. The Ameri-

enteeath annual convention here. There
are about 800 delegates in attendance,
including \ large number from the
southern country Senator Gibson well
coined the association g. A. Levi of
Fictoria. Tex, and Mr.. John G. Rus
sell OF st. Louis, urged a change in the
constitution 50 as to give state associa-
tiOns representation in order to encour-
age and assist state bodies in giving
more effective local protection.
The matter was finally referred back
to the executive association, which first
reported adversely, III order that 1t
might hear the views of all the state
associations and report back next year,
The committee on protection was au-
thorlzed to prepare a plan for protec-
ton against and the punishment OF
criminals
A letter from Secretary Foster in re-
ply to request for information as TO
the working of the recent silver law,
was laid before the association
The secretary says i'll part:
The new law makes a net annual adj
dition to our oircniating medium of
$24, ,000,0)0. While 1t Is true that the
amount OF moley i'll circulation in his
country at the present time is greater
than at any previous period in our his
tory. and more per capita than in any
leading commercial nations OF the
world, with a single exception, France,
am of the opinion that owing to our
rapid growth in population and wealth,
and the extraordinary development in
all kinds of business, yearly increase
in our circulating medium, somewhat
proportionate TO our growth in popula-
ton. is inperatiyely demanded.
The issues of treasury notes under
this act affords an Increase OF perfectly
convenient and sound currency, based
dollar for dollar upon the cost value of
silver bullion. redeemable on demand in
gold coin, and with the pledge of the
government to maintain it at par, That
this addition to our circulation has
proved beneficial was forcibly exhibited
during the spring and summer of the
present year, when, through the neces-
sites of Europe, gold was withdrawn
from this country in large quantities,
aggregating, In brief period OF five
months, over $72 900, 900.

Resolutions Adopted.

Ownership of Railroads Discusse.t-
Resolutions Adopted
sEDAILA. Mo. Nov. 13.-In the ma
tlonai farmers congress, Congressman
John L. Heard, of Missouri. delivered
All addless on Railway Transporta-
ton, which. he said. was subject of
supreme Importance to the farmer. One
solution was found i'll state railway
commissions. Missouri has been among
the first OF the states to deal with the
question in that way, and Missouri's
experience showed that the method had
been a success. Another method of
controlling railroad corporations in the
interest Of the people was through
national railway commission. Some
protessad TO believe that the railway
should be placed under government
management. Government railroading
ne believed, would be gigantic fail
ure. In the first place. the government
would have to buy the railroads, and
that would cost $4,000, 900, 900. That
would be an impossibility, practically.
because there was in circulation only
81 500. 600. 900.
ID. G. Brown Of Georgia, indorsed
everything that Mr. Heard had said.
Georgia, he said. had tried state own
ership of railways, Georgia owned the
Western and Atlantic railway. Under
state control the rates We're high, the
service was bad and the deficits were
extraordinary. The state found that it
mad been too expensive to run its own
railway, and the line was leased to pri-
vate individuals. Under private con-
troll the road charged lower rates. gave
better service, paid rental of $50, 900
month and made money for the lessees
Resolutions We're introduced recon-
mending that the president of the United
States and United States senators
be elected by the direct popular vote;
demanding the extension of the signal
service reports issued by the agricul-
tural department; requesting the fed
eral government TO aid the states in the
irrigation of arid lands The resolu-
tions We're all adopted. with the excep-
tiOn Of the latter, which the congress
defeated "A TO II. The resolution ask
ing congress TO improve the harbor at
Savannah was loudly approved and
unanimously adopted. The committee
on finance presented a report request
ing the various state legislatures to
make appropriations for expenses Of
state delegations to future congresses Of
this character in order that each state
may have fnll and proper representa-
ton. The report was adopted.

\. r.. Parnell Instructs the Bankers to

DUBLIN, Nov. iS - The National
Press, organ Of the McCarthyite wing
of the Irish Parliamentary party, pub
fishes an article relative to the Paris
funG, of which the late Mr.. Parnell was
one Of the trustees. When Parnell
died. his wife, as one Of his heirs. be-
came empowered to act in connection
with the fund One of her first moves
was to instruct the bankers in Paris to
retain possession of the money. The
National Press looks with much bitter
ness upon the course pursued in rela-
ton to this money. which was origi-
nally int .nded TO be devoted to the re-
lief OF tenants evicted under the plan OF
campaign an. charges that the with
holding of the fund is a result of an
undersf audins between Henry Harr1-
son. member of commons for the mid
die division Of Tipperary. who was one
of Parnell's most ardent aud devoted
supporters. aud Mrs. Parnell. The pa
per SAYS: The conspiracy between
Harrison. who drafted the plan OF cam-
paign. and Mrs. O'Shea, to keep the
fund from evicted tenants, is the most
shameful incident in our history.

the loss is much greater than that in

see and COOsa railroad from Gunter's
landing to Gadsden, in the counties OF
Marshall and Etowah. OF these tracts
at least 10000 acres are improved prop
erty.
The government claims to have never
parted with the title by homestead entry
or otherwise.
An injunction is prayed for seeking
to restrain the collection of rents by
the Railroad Company's agents and
others, and a receiver is asked to be ap-
pointed.
The file of papers has gone to Mont
gOmery. Orders in the case are expected
fir, m there every day. when process to
numerous defendants will ISSUE
The land in question is mainly ten
miles west of Alfalfa. 1t includes about
&C, 900 acres.
By two deeds of trust, dated May 18th
and February 7th respectively, and for
the total sum of about $4,000, these
lands were conveyed to Hugh Carlisle,
defendant.
The value of the acreage is said to be
about $500 600. 1t includes rich mineral
and cLal lands.
Mr. Carlisle, News reporter was in
formed tried to sell some this land to the
Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
railroad. Now, it is SAID, that road is
suing Mr. Carlisle on that account.
1t is also stated that the purpose of the
railroad, in selling to Mr.. Carlisle, was to
make its own title clear according to a
provision that was expected to be inser-
ted in bill in Congress, but was not. If
it had been inserted purchaser like MIR.
Carlisle would have been protected.
The land in question is occupied by
squatters, at the rate of $125 per acre.
So the squatters are interested with the
Government, and will naturally be on its
