A Minister and Two Members Of His Con-
grcgation Slain mt a Meeting to Settle
Dispute About a Slanderous Report Said
to Have Been Started by the Diyinc-A
War of determination Thought to be
Probable.
SHREVEPORT, La, July 2o.-News has
been received here of tragedy at
Ivory, a settlement in Arkansas just
beyond the Louisiana line, in which a
preacher, Rev. j. r. Platt, and two
members of his congregation were
slain and several others seriously
wounded. The parties had met in
secluded place to settle dispute con-
cerning the authorship of slanderous
report that was in circulation, and the
fight was the result
A rumor got abroad in the conmu-
nifty affecting the character of young
lady 1t was alleged that Rev. Platt
started the story, but he in turn ac-
cused member of his congregation
named Perdue. The men were about
to come together in battle, but friends
interviewed and it was decided that the
principals with their friends should
meet down the river and decide the
matter without trouble. There were
present Platt, Felix Goulet, Dan
Perdue. two men named Tisdale. Two
| men named Defee and j. e. Stuart,
| father-in-law of Rev. Platt.
After some time had been devoted to
argument all the parties reached for
their weapons. There were Winches-
ters, revolvers and shotguns. Platt,
the only man unarmed, jumped into the
river, where he was killed with a Win
chester ball. Stuart, his relative, was
shot in the back and leg and was
kicked into insensibility. One of the
Tisdales was shot in the abdomen.
Others of the two factions received in
juries.
The congregation of Platt's church
is divided over the whole affair, and al
effort may be made to drive Perdue out
of the community, in which case wal
of determination will be entered upor
on both sides.

ODESSA, July 23.--It is certain that

THE STATE BANK TAX.
Its Repeal May Be Suggested by the
President In His Message.


WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. Ii is highly
probable that Carlisle in his report and
the president In his message will recon-
mend the repeal Of tax on circulating
notes OF state banks, provided those banks
conform to regulations presented by the
treasury department for the protection OF
note holders. Suggestions are also likely
IS TO the cancellation OF legal tenders and
treasury notes when redeemed In gold.
An endorsement OF the Baltimore plan In
Carlisle's report is also predicred.
Since the Baltimore plan, as IL is called,
was formulated, the president has said on
one or two occasions that he thinks 1t
will be great improvement on the exist
Ing system Of banking. Some Of the most
prominent Republicans In congress think
that the best thing that can bs done h to
leave the currency question and also the
tarih question alone, and give the country
n rest from agitation which will disturb
business. This Is likely TO be the view
taken by she conservative members In
both branches.
The rcpert that the cabinet is divided on
tho subject Of what shall be done is not
correct President Cleveland has devoted
much time during the last three or four
months to financial mattere, and IL 10
tiremsnt OF not only the greenbscks, but
the many other kinds Of currency for
which the government is responsible. and
the substitution of another which would
make oil the circulating medium uniform.
