Major Hearsay ami Congressman
BOntner at Daggcrs' Points.

NEW ORLEANS. La, December IL
The trouble between Major Hearsay and
Congressman BOatner grows out Of the
Foster campaign. Mr. BOatner IS al pres
mt bitterly opposed TO the reconciliation
If the Governor. He had at first been
extremely sntagOnistc 10 the Governor,
but subsequently went 10 his side and
thereafter changed his views again. Mr..
Boatner is president Of the News Pub
fishing Company, OF Monroe. and various
trticles have appeared in that paper cas-
.igating the Governor. They We're the
basis Of a challenge between Mr.. Sho-
ar, author OF the letters. and Editor Che
lis, Of the Baton Rogue Advocate, a
strong supporter Of Governor Fosters
That affair was amlcably settled.
The States, which Is edited by Major
Hearsay. was drawn into the fight In
Ouacnita parish through the structures
upon Governor Fosters administration,
which the States is now supporting,
though strongly opposed 10 Foster four
years ago. The News charged that the
states was Influenced in its support Of
Governor Foster by the fact that IL had
been given the city-prnting contract, and
the contract had been corruptly acquiT ID.
Major Hearsay, through the States. de-
nounced the News's charges as cowardly
falschOOds Colonel BOatner was in Wash
ington then. lie came home, and on De-
cemDer 10th announced that he was re-
spOnsible. as the editor of the News. and
On the same day ne wrote "a note TO Major
Hcarsay, saying he would demand salts
faction for the attacks made upon the
editor Of the News. On the following. day
he printed a bitter attack i'm the News
on Major Hearsay, in which he used
offensive terms, applying them to Major
Hearsay. and reiterating the printing

had no right 10 attack him, once having
sent note promising "A demand for salts
faction. Thereupon the States printed
yesterday scathing denuncation OF Col
Oncl BOatner.
Colonel Boatner came 10 the city to-day
with President McLain, OF one OF the
Monroe banks. lie also called i'm Presl-
dent Crondel of the Southern Telephone
Company, and a note Is understood 10
have been addressed 10 Major Hearsay.
Thereupon, naturally, all parties TO the
affair are reticent
Both men are widely known in the
State, and their friends are naturally
hopeful that a hostile meeting will be
averted. The present condition Of affairs
gives rise 10 the belief that there will
be no street encounter. IN effort was
made by an outsider 20 have both gentle
men arrested, but Judge Whitaker did
not consider that he ought to entertain

II shows an Unexpected Expansion
in Loans.

III IO1nS.
NEW YORK. December 1.-THE New
York Financier says this week:
"The statement Of the Associated
Banks. of this city. for the week ending
December 18th. shows an unexpected ex-
pansion Of $3.150S00 in loans which must
be attributed as much 70 the specula i've
excitement Of the past ten days as to a
legitimate demand from mercan lie
sources for money
THE interior movement Of currency
for the week netted the New York banks
not less than $25OOO00 This is probably
counted in the statement. Against this
should be placed the loss through with
drawals Of legal tenders for the gold
shipments Of he last part Of last week
and the $1,000 600 Withdrawn during the
current week. These losses have nearly
Offset the gain. but the statement does
not show IL. since the banks report a
decrease OF Sl6SfGoO In legal tenders. and
a gain OF Sl23.SlO In specie. making the
net cash loss $l5G0J00 The increase in
deposits amounted TO 1889 OO0. and al
though this required higher total bank
reserve. the excess Of reserve as result
OF the weeks operations decreased nearly
s. Oc0 600.
"The specie item IS slowly increasing,
but this accumulation Is not at the eX-
pense OF the Treasury. which Is actually
gaining The only inference is that the
Clearing House banks are going TO first
sources for their specie, perhaps buying
assay receipts from the producers or
bullion dealers. At any rate. they cannot
be accused OF helping themselves at the
expense Of the Treasury.
"The gold HOLDINGS Of the New York
hanks are 81 II about gff 600 900 less than
the highest total reported this year"

was released on Monday last, just one
day after the departure of Miss Gott-
leb. who left him when convinced that
he had another wife when he married
her. and his present whereabouts are
not known either here or there.
The story Of his leaving the Canada
town is told in the following special re-
ceived by the Dispatch last night from
that place:
George 5. Maxwell has been released
from the asylum, still uncured, but able
TO leave the city. lie was allowed TO
leave the asylum just as soon as the
physicians considered it safe. and was
required to leave the country as soon as
possible The attendant physician told
the Dispatch correspondent tonight thar
the asylum wished TO be rid of Maxwell
as soon as possible. Ii was discovered
that he was using cocaine, and he was
allowed to depart before the regular
term was completed.
LEFT FOR NEW YORK.
ole left on Monday and took the first
train for New York by the same route
as that by which Miss Gottleib proceeded
the day before. She left on Sunday at
noon with a ticket for New York. He
started thlrty-s.x hours later. Before
leaving Miss Gottleib requested the au-
thorities to hold Maxwell until she had
got away. For some reason MaXwelFs
departure was kept secret, but 1t Is
now known that he enquired as 10 Miss
Gottleib's departure before he, too, LETT

New York"
Miss GottIcib Writes To Mrs. Max
well.
A special 10 the Dispatch from Coying-
ton. KY, says:
Mrs. Maxwell has received letter
from Miss GOttleib expressive OF unut-
terable woe, anguish and regret at the
error she made in being led astray by
Maxwell. The letter was dated from To-
rlnto, but post-marked Parkersburg, w.
Va"
Letters have been received here from
Maxwell in the last few days. For the
first time they were dated Toronto instead
of Louisville. through which place all
previous ones had been sent. a letter
that came to hand on Friday appeared
to have been mailed in Toronto on Tues
day last, which would seem 10 indicate
that Maxwell did not leave there on Mon
day lie mas insisted all along that he
would return to Richmond.

THE PAINS OF RHEUMATISM

According to the best authorities
originate in a morbid condition of
the blood. Tactic acid, caused By
the decomposition of the gelatinous
and albuminous tissues, circulates
with the blood and attacks the
fibrons tissues, particularly in the
joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The
back and shoulders are the parts
usually affected by rheumatism, and
the joints at the knees, ankles, hips
and wrists are also sometimes at.
tackled. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla a posi-,
tive and permanent cure for rheuma
tism. 1t has had remarkable sue
cess in curing the most severe cases.
The secret of its success lies in the
fact that it attacks at once the
cause of the disease by neutralizing
the Tactic acid and purifying the
blood AS we'll as strengthening every
function of the body.
