Mrs. Perry, wife of N. Perry, living

to the circumstances connected with
the case, She was allowed to go to the
home Of her sister. Mrs. Emery, who
resides in the city.
The circumstances as far as ascer-
tanned are about as follows: This
morning at the family home the first
one to get up was a young boy, who
built the fire and then called his moth
er, who arose and commenced getting
breakfast. While her husband was yet
asleep In bed. she procured an az and
before anyone vas aware Of her pur-
pose, she hit him a blow on the head.
A daughter interfered, when the en-
ragged mother struck at her with the
AZ, but fortunately missed her, hitting
the wall instead. The children, becom-
ing frightened, rushed from the house
and Mrs. Perry returned to her. attack
upon her husband. She was finally
taken in charge by some Of the neigh

was still alive but unconscious. DR..

SECRETARY HOkE SMITH
Said to Have Resigned His Portfolio of the
Interior Department.


WASHINGTON, Aug. GA press
association says it is in a position tc
state definitely and certainly that
Secretary Hoke Smith has resigned his
cabinet portfolio, and that the resig.
ton will be accepted by President
Cleveland.
For some days past shipments have
been made to Atlanta of his books
and papers, and it is learned that he
has declined to set any departmental
business to be heard by him for a date
later than this month. 1t can safely
be assumed that n successor will be in
charge in a very short time.
After the nomination of Bryan and
Sewall it became known that Secre.
tary Smith was the only member of
the cabinet who announced the pur-
pose to support hat ticket, and that
this action on his part, while not ir
any way affecting his personal rela.
tions with the other members of the
cabinet. seemed SO material to hir
that he felt constrained to tender his
resignation.
The secretary declines to discuss the
subject in any way.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Secretary
Smith had just returned from a FIVE
mile spin on his bicycle last evening
when he was seer by the United Assoc
ciated Presses reporter. He said he
had no further information to add to
that already made public about his
resignation from the cabinet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ga special
to the Call from Vancouver, b. c.,
says:
Bush fires are raging with undated
fury in the mainland of British Co

and on the Pitt River high road,
flames are reaching out to the city
from every part of the compass, and
should rain not come and wind spring

The long-suffering farmers of the
lowlands OF Westminster district met
yesterday in large numbers and de-
cided to unite in petitioning both the
provisional and federal governments
to deepen and dyke the river. The
most prominent speakers stated that
this must be done or all ranches along
the valley subject to floods would be

Give Him q Rousing Fare
we'll Le.ee in the Drawing Room of the
Steamship St. Louis at Southampton.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-Li Hung Chang,
special ambassador of the emperor OF
China, with his suite, left at nine
o'clock this morning for Southampton,
where he embarked on board the Amer
lean steamer St. Louis for New 1ork.
The ambassador and the members OF
his suite were driven to the station IN
four royal carriages. \ large number
of friends gathered around the railway
car occupid by the distinguished China
man, and remained until the train moved
away. Ii Hung Chang shook hands
and conversed with everybody in the
group. just before the train started
LII Hung Chang lighted a long, silver
tn bed pipe, which he began putting
with evident satisfaction. As the train
steamed away he was still smoking, at
the same time responding to the fare
Well cneerS OF MS ITl6uUS, waving HIS
hands.
When Ii Hung Chang and his party
arrived at Southampton they immedi-
ately went on board the steamer st.
Louis, which became the scene of a
gathering of a most genial character.
The drawing-room of the st. Louis was
converted into a great reception hall,
and the Chinese ambassador held a
levee which lasted some time. Indeed,
it is o within recollection hat any
visitor to England has received sc
grand a send-off. The mayor Of South
ampton and the local dignitaries made
farewell speeches, all of which were
addressed to the Chinese statesman,
and as the steamer was leaving her
dock the ambassador and his party
were cheered by thousands of people
who had gathered on the wharf to bid
good-by to the visitors. The weather
was clear and sunny.

FIGHT IN A CHURCH.

a Newspaper Reporter Attacks . Preacher
In His PulPit-The Deacons Rush to the
Rescue, and a Lively scrimmage En-
sues-Ths Ministers Fearless Denuncia-
tion of Popular Vices the Cause of the
Attack. J..
MACON. Ga, Aug. ga sensation
was created in the leading Methodist
church in this city last night, caused
by a difficulty between Rev. Alonzo
Monk, pastor of the church, and
Tilden Adamson, a reporter of the
Daily Telegraph.
Mr.. Adamson reported the reverend
gentleman's sermon last Sunday,
which was pronounced by the pastor
to be incorrect. But ut last nights
service Mr.. Monk, in his sermon, was
particularly severe on the reporter
and reflected on him in such a man
ner as to cause Mr.. Adamson to re-
sent it at the end of the sermon Co.
ing to the pulpit the young gentle
man demanded an explanation OF the
preachers remarks. An exchange of
words angered both gentlemen, where
upon they grappled each other.
Deacons of the church rushed for
ward, and an exchange of blows be-
tween them and the reporter followed.
The newspaper man stood firm and de-
Tended himself as best he could against
odds. Police were sent for. The con-
gregation was greatly excited, more
than a thousand persons being pres
ent.
Women and men stood On tip-toe to
watch the outcome Of the scutfie.
Finally order was restored, but the
services were somewhat shortened by
the scene.
Mr.. Monk has been particularly
severe on the bar rooms and lewd
houses of the city, and his language
has been the topic of discussion for a
week. The trouble last night is really
an outcome of his sermon on the bar
rooms of Macon. Mr.. Monk is one of
the ablest ministers in the Methodist
church, and while many people APP
prove his severe attack on the lower
elements of society, there are others
VINO condemn it as ill-advised and in
temperate.
