KNOWLEDGE

It is with considerable pleasure. therefore, that Bradstreet's earns an arrangement was made yes

This arrangement must go far to re- lieve the financial stringency at this time with respect to the cotton crop.

AN ARRANGEMENT
By Which The sub-Treasury ofNew Orleans

NEW YORK, August 12.-Brad- street gays to-day: Special tele- grams to Brads.reet's and informa- ton received through the trade and press within few days indicates the likelihood of crisis in the cot ton regions owing to the inability of banking institutions there to ad- vance funds necessary to move the crops of cotton with anything like the usual freedom It has become plain that few, if any of the South
 ern banks would, if they could, advance funds to cotton buyers to enable the latter to hold the staple for an advance in price, and the disturbance among Southwestern financial institutions began to raise the question how the cotton crop was to be moved at all. Inasmuch as it costs $S. 90 a bale for picking, ginning, pressing and baling cotton, about $50 ,000,00 will be required for gathering and preparing for ship ment of the crop of 6,000, GOO bales. It becomes a plain phrase that advancing the funds to move the cotton crop, has real and liv- ing meaning. A considerable pro

INDIGNANT CITIZENS.
The Justice Turned One of the Young Sconndrels Loose-The Other
 May be Caught.

CARRoLLToN, GA, August l2.-- A diabolical crime came 10 light at Brooks Station, Fayette county, about fifteen miles this side of eirif- fin, Wednesday. Walter Reeves and John Price were accused of as- saulting Miss Dora Bishop, beau tiful and highly respected young lady, and daughter of John Bishop, a well-to-do farmer, living two miles north of Brooks Station.
 Miss Bishop says John Price made an engagement to take her to church Sunday night and came for her in buggy at the appointed, hour. They had travelled some distance when Price stopped and Walter Reeves came up to the buggy out of the deep woods. The young lady says she was dragged from the buggy by the two young men and forced to submit to an assault under threat of instant death. She started to run to her home. but was caught by young Price and replaced in the buggy. He told her he would kill her if she attempted to run and if she made known what had been done to her. Price took the young lady to church and back to her room, where he left her. War rants were sworn out next morning for Reeves and Price. On Wednes- day Reeves was captured, but Price escaped. The whole country was aroused, and although young Reeves belongs to one of the most noted families in Fayette and Spaulding counties, he came near being lynched He had preliminary trial yesterday at Brooks Station, and although the young lady, whose reputation for veracity had been doubted, swore positively to the facts stated, Justice Carson released him. The people are highly indignant over the action of the justice, who is a cousin of Price. It is said that officers arc close after Price. He was seen near Bremen, twelve miles north of here.

SHOT AT SULLIVAN.
The Ex-champlon Has Narrow Escape
 With His Life.
DRUNK AS USUAL.
He Staggered Iato a Bar Room and Pro
 voked Disturbance-He Fled.

NEW YORK, August 14.-It trans pires that John l.. Sullivan, ex- champion pugilist of the world, had narrow escape from death at the hands of fellow sport the other evening in the bar Room ot the Van derbilt Hotel, Lexington ave- nue and Forty-second street. The particulars have been carefully guarded. Sullivan entered the bar room about s o'clock in the evening. He had been drink ing heavily and was in an ugly mood. He was accom- panied by two old friends. Sullivan lurched into the bar room, and, facing the coun- ter, ordered wine for every one in the place. At the further end of the bar was man by the name of Nc, Cluskey, with whom Sullivan had some words in Boston three years ago. The pngilist did not see his old enemy when he entered the room. It was only when he saw McCluskey refuse to drink that Sullivan learned his identity. He went down the bar to induce the man he believed stranger to take glass of wine. When Sulli- van got within six feet of the man he saw who he was, and began a tirade of abuse. He accused Me. Cluskey of having slandered him behind his back. McCluskey said quietly that he had never spoken disparagingly of the pugilist, and what was more he had not even taken the trouble to give him a thought since their quar- rel at Boston. Sullivan glared at his enemy for a moment and then bringing his mighty fist down on the mahogany shouted in a voice of anger that could be heard almost block away, "You are a liar, McCluskey, and l can prove it. Do you hear what say, you curl You have been talking about'me be- hind my back, and l say that you are liar" McCluskey was crim- son with anger by this time. He brought down his fist on the bar in turn, and turning to Sullivan said ; T have told you never spoke bshind your back, and when you say I have you lie, and you know it. :"
 The significance of the return compliment did not dawn on Sulli' van for few seconds. They clinched, and Sullivan's right hand shot forth and struck McCluskey on the left side of the neck, knocking him down, but did not stun him The prostrated mans hand went to his hip pocket in twinkling. As soon as Sullivan saw the movement he turned to run for the door, but a shot sped after him before he could reach it. Before second shot could be fired the pugilist's friends rushed in and wrestled the weapon from McCmskey.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE CASE.
A Pretty Knoxville Girl Has Time to Nurse Her Grief Married in Haste and
 Her Hpsbapd Was

Brute.
 KNOXVILLE, TENN, August 12. A divorce bill was filed in court here to-day which teaches a world of lessons.
 The pretty young daughter of a prosperous real estate agent, Will liam Shields, about year ago ran away from home and married A. l.. Buckner, a son of prominent Bal timore business man, but a notori- ous sport.
 There was lively chase at the time, and the irate father and happy husband were only prevented from indulging in a shooting by the timely arrival of an officer, Short ly after marriage they went to her husbands home, and there she says she was horribly mistreated by his folks and him. being frequently knocked down by him, and at one time nearly killed.
 Shortly after her baby was born her husband abruptly told her to ] get a divorce from him. Finally lis father bought her a ticket to Knoxville, and she came all the back 1 on just twenty five cents. Among the first persons she saw on her arrival was her father, but he re- fused to recognize her, waving her aside. All these facts are told in her divorce bill.
 Surely this is hard world to her. She is beautiful blonde, and was but schoolgirl when she married Buckner.
