ELDoRADo. Ark, July 25.-In the
neighborhood of Ivory's ferry, near the
Arkansas and Louisiana line, someone
started report that the Rev. Plat, the
leading divine of the neighbor-
hood, had made some indecent remarks
about young woman Of his copgrega-
ton. Platt denied this and said that
Dan Perdue was the author Of the scan
dalous report. To settle the question Of
veracity Mr.. Perdue and Mr.. Platt, with
their friends, met mile below the ferry,
oil armed to the teeth. Mr.. Plat, his
fathetin-law, MIR. Stuart, AMI Mr.
Goulet, were Oh one side, and Dan Per-
due, his friend, Bill Tisdall, ST., Bill Tis-
dali, Jr., aud two men by the name Of
Dsfen on the other. After little while
it became apparent that matters could
not be settled peaceably, both principals
charging each other with originating the
SANDER. Winchesters, shotguns, and
pistols we're brought into requisition and
used freely on each aide. Plat was
killed in his tracks Stuart was shot
down and beat over the head with re-
volver, leaving five geshes, and s nov in

three fingers shot off. After killing Plat
Perdue and his friends hted shot after

Only one of the Perdue crowd was
wounded. Bill Tisdall, ST., was shot
through both hips, and will likely die.

Shrine, convenes in all it's grandeur here
today. The important work before the
session is that Of the proposed change
OF the ritual, which is urged by some
OF the less convivial members of the or
ganization. 1t is proposed not only to
inject more Arabic into the order, az in
names of the officers and in the secret
and monitorial work, but to attack the
the Holy Well Fem Fem, and to make
it flow nothing stronger than coffee, in.
stead OF the present exhilarating and de-
lightful fluids.
A completely new ritual will be pre-
sented to the meeting, but it's adoption
will be thoroughly fought by many of
the members.

FREE SUGAR AMENDMENTS,

Withdrawn by Quay, hut Will be Intro
duced In Another Form.
WARRINGTON, July 26.-By agreement
the conference report on the tariff bill
was deferred when the senate met today
until 2p. m. for the purpose OF giving the
republicans time TO consider.
The republicans, after consultation,
found they could not carry the free sugar
amendments proposed by Senator Quay
Yesterday. 1t has been decided that
Quay shall withdraw the amendments,
but they will be renewed in a different
form by some other republican. Man
derson and PETER expressed q fear that
the free sugar proposition will 20
through and the bill pass. As
it is understood that in case free sugar
is added PETER would vote for it, the
republicans felt that the only proposition
that would go through which will endan-
ger the bill is that instructing the con-
ferees to strike out the eighth OF cent
differentisl. This would carry by q mar
gin OF one vote If all the republicans, all
the populists and Hill and 1rby voted for
it.
At 2 O'Clock Jones called up the con-
ference report On the tariff bill. Quay
withdrew the sugar amendments he Of.
fered yesterday, and Villas replied to the
assault on Cleveland.
There Is little hope that the republic
cans will be able to strike out the eighth
OF q cent differential ON sugar. 1t is m.
derstood that Stewart, populist, of Ne
vada, whose vote is necessary to carry
the proposition, will not vote with them
