COAL MINERS OF TENNESSEE.
One Strike Settled and Another on
the Carpet for Jan. 10.

One Strike Settled and Another on
the Carpet for Jan. 10.
Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 29.-The min
ers' strike in the coal fields along the line
of Southern Kentucky and Tennessee,
which began last May over a reduction of
wages of 10 per cent, inaugurated by the
operators of the various mines in the ter
ritory, was to-day declared off by the
men. This action was the result of a
conference held at lockwood, Tenn. be-
tween the committee representing the
strikers and an executive committee rem
resenting the operators. The strikers have
been suffering greatly, and several times
committees from the strikers have solic-
tied aid for their starving families.
To-day a proposition was submitted bv
the operators TO make the reduction of
wages . per cent, instead of 10. as origi-
nally proposed. After brief parley the
men accepted the reduction, contracts
were signed for a year. and the men went
70 work. Twenty-Five hundred to 5000
men are involved.
This settlement does not include the
trouble at the mines of the Dayton Coal
and Iron Coppaay, where 800 men are
out. Those at Dayton are out because of
the demand of the company that wages
shall be cut 10 per cent. whenever the coal
mined by them shall contain a certain per
cent. of shale. 1t was stated to-day that
this strike will extend, on Jan. 10. to the
miners at Graysville. where the DAYTON
company is now obtaining coal during the
tendency of the strike

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK PLAN.
NEW YORK BANK PRESIDENTS NOT
FAVORABLY IMPRESSED.

| They Express the Opinion That
There Are Already Too Many
Banks in the Country Except in
the ThinIy Populated Districts.
President of the Chase National
Bank Thinks Postal Banks Have
Been Successful I'm other Countries
Only on Account of the Heavy Gov
Inment Debts.
New York Dec 29-The postal savings
bank idea is not a popular one in New
York banking circles.
A canvass Of presidents of prominent
banking institutions developed that fact
clearly.
At the same time very few presidents
were willing to express opinions for pub
LEGATION. All practically agreed with Pres
ident f. S. Mason Of the Bank of New
York in the statement that there are al
ready so many banks in existence that
rates for money have been cut to a point
where there is little profit in banking.
F. D. T&ppen, president of the Gallatin
National Bank, thought that possibly in
thinly populated districts, postal savings
pie, but he was confident that the resi-
dents Of large towns and cities had all
the banking accommoda tons they desired.
Oliver S. Carter of the Bank of the Re-
public felt that the time had not come to
discuss the proposition.
Dumont Clark, president of the Ex-
change National Bank, agreed with Mr.
Carter.
!. e. simmons. president of the Fourth
National, was also of the, same opinion,
and declined to discuss the proposition be-
cause he had not given it sufficient
thought.
Henry w Cannon, president of the
Chase National Bank, was plainly oppos-
ed to postal savings banks, and did not
hesitate to say So
Postal savings banks he said, have
been successful in other countries for the
reason that the countries have large pub
lie debts, which are increasing from year
deposited by the people in the postal banks
could be advantageously used by the gov
ernments.
In this country the people hold the
opinion that the public debt should not be
increased. but on the contrary, should be
reduced as rapidly as possible and there
fore it does not seem practicable to my
mind for the government to receive the
money of the people and invest the same
in securities.
In my opinion, should postal savings
banks be established in the United States,
their deposits should only be used by the
general government in the same manner
as i'm other countries"

RECEIPTS OF THE GOVERNMENT
Material Increase to De Shown in the
forthcoming Monthly Statement.

Material Increase to be shown in the
Forthcoming Monthly Statement.
Washington, Dec. 29.-The forthcoming
monthly statement of government receipts
and expenditures will show a material
increase in the receipts from both Gus
toms and in the revenues. To-day's in
come from the customs alone was $795, 567
the highest figures reached since the new
tariff law went into effect Several times
during the last few weeks the customs
revenues have exceeded $500, co., and ae-
cording to the expectations of the treasury
officials, these figures will be fully main
tained for an indefinite period.
The increases from customs this month
probably win exceed November by 81
100000 or $S,0O0,0O0 which will leave a sur
plus for the month. Independent of the
receipts and payments on account of the
Pacific railroad transfer, the total receipts
this month would have exceeded the ex-
penditures by approximately 81, 200.
The returns from internal revenue
sources show a gratifying increase and
ii is not unlikely that the December state
ment will show an increase over Novem-
Der of $1,0OO0OO. Altogether, the situation,
SO far as revenues are concerned, is very
gratifying to the officials who confidently
predict that with the exception of Jam
uary when heavy interest payments are
due, there will be a surplus for each COM
ing month of the present fiscal wear

Health Authorities Of Atlanta Say

Health Authorities Of Atlanta Say
the Epidemic Is Under Control.
Atlanta. Ga, Dec 29-The health au-
thorities now declare that the smallpox
scourge, which threatened a few weeks
ago to become a bad epidemic, has been
conquered. No new cases were reported
to-day and the health authorities say it
will be but d short time before the city is
entirely free from the pest. The vaccna-
ton crusade, which was kept up for three
weeks by city physicians, has been called
off because of an exhaustion of unvacci-
mated subjects. 1t is estimated that the
doctors have put virus into the arms of
fully 5000 persons since they were started
out to vaccinate the town.
Records in the health office show that
from the first to the last there were 232
cases of the disease. all of which were
taken to the hospital outside the city linn
its. OF this number two only died, one of
these a negro man and the other a negro
child. Twenty-Five white persons were
among the afflicted. At present there are
12i patients in the hospital, all of whom
except one are doing well and are expect
ed to recover.
Chairman Alexander of the board of
health and Chief Veal of the sanitary de-
partment, who have had charge of the sit
uation, unite in The declaration that the
disease has been conquered and no fear
need be felt of a further spread of it. The
hold the scourge got is attributed to the
feet that there had been no general vacci-
nation throughout the city since 1882, and
thus the circumstances were favorable for
its development when once introduced. The
Introduction of the disease was traced to

HENHERSON'S FATAL FIGHT.
The Shot That Killed Him Fired by
His Father-in-Lav.


His Father-in-LaVv.
Blackshear, Ga, Dec. 29.-Further de-
tails of the killing of Clint Henderson by
b. w. Morgan in Wayne county on Christ
mas eve have been received. The first re-
port had it that Henderson was killed by
young Berry Morgan. This appears TO
have been a mistake. Henderson was kill
ed by b. w. Morgan, father of Berry Nor
gan, and father-in-law of Henderson.
The homicide occurred at the home of a
son of B. w. Morgan, and came about
primarily because of too much moonshine
liquor. Henderson had not been living
happily with his wife, who is B. w Nor
gan's daughter, and there was talk of a
separation. The night of the tragedy, Nor
gan's son was giving a party, at which
Henderson, his wife and children and Nor
gan were present A plentiful supply of
moonshine liquor was also present Hen
derson was drinking heavily of moonshine
of his own manufacture, and a few min
utes before the homicide succeeded
in making himself crazy drunk.
While in this condition he sud
denly sprang from his seat on the
floor and knocked bystander through a
board partition and out of doors. He then
drew his knife and drove it through the
door planks several time. as if to test his
proWess, ana then, without warning,
bounded at a brother-in-law and was in
the act of cutting him when B. w. Nor
gan shot him down. Henderson was killed
with a shotgun the whole load lodgingain
the side of his face, literally tearing it
away death ensuing instantly

1zen of Wayne county and has always
borne good name. 1t is said that more

FORCED TO LOWER THE FLAG.
Stars and Stripes Have to BE Hauled
Down at Barcelona.

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 29.-Capt.
George K. Kelsey of the schooner Wallace
Ward, which has just arrived here from
Barcelona, Spain, insists that the Amer
lean consul at that port fears mob vio-
lence, and is unable to keep the American
flag flying from Uncle Sans vessels.
He put into port there Sept. IS, remain
ing three days. AT first the stars and
stripes hoated from the masthead, but
the Spanish loiterers were attracted by it
and gathered by the side of the vessel,
threatening violence. The American con-
sui heard rumor that the crowd pro-
posed burning the vessel and he sent
word to Capt. Kelsey to haul down the
flag.
Capt. Kelsey defied the Spaniards, but
the next day the consul repeated his ad-
vice, and Capt. Kelsey was reluctantly
persuaded to store the stars and stripes
below decks during the remainder of his
stay.
