The Ligon-CoIeman DIFFICULTY I'M"
What Led to Ii.

LYNCHBURG, VA. october 9.-(spe-
cial.)-It has developed that the CLOSING
scenes of the Democratic meeting at
West Appomattox, on Thursday, were
OF a somewhat sensational nature AFTER
Mr.. II. d. Flood had concluded his ad-
dress. Mr. w. II. Lyon, Of Hlxpurs'
candidate for the House OF Delegates,
arose and made a few remarks, In inc
course Of which he stated that the only
promise he had made was that he would
vote for John w. Daniel to succeed NM
self In the United States Senate. MT.
Lyon had finished his speech and the
crowd was pouring from the courthouse
building. when Mr.. S. =. Coleman,
Sheriff of Appomattox county, stepped
up to Mr.. Lyon, and in voice that was
audible through the building said that
ne had promised to vote against Major
b. w. Lynn, In election as superintendent
of the State Penitentiary.
AS the crowd paused TO listen 10 the
controversy, Mr.. Lyon turned to Mr..
Coleman and denied having made any
such promise. and declared that he had
no intention of doing SO. "Then l VIII
defeat you," said Mr.. Coleman, IN a
voice that showed excitement. Il Will
run for the Legislature as an independent
candidate"
AS the audience started again TO leave
the courtroom, Mr.. Lyon turned TO them
and said that he wanted 1t understood
that he was going TO represent the peo-
ple of Appomattox, and that he intended
10 be guided by their wishes.
When Sheriff Coleman passed out OF
the building to the broad stone porch he
was accosted by K. II. Brown, and the
heated words that ensued soon led TO
blows. several Of which were exchanged.
very few minutes after the dllhculty.
Field Smith, a well-known resident OF
Appomattox, denounced the Sheriff, and
another difficulty was narrowly ayerted.
Mr. Coleman has been Sheriff OF Apo
mattox county for a good many years.
He will be opposed I'm his candidacy for
reelection to the Office. spring after next,

A gentleman from Appomattox said TO

BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement of the Associated
Banks is as follows:
Surplus reserve, decrease. s2,O64,9oO.
Loans, decrease. S262, 800.
Specie increase N,5S3,i00.
Legal-tenders. decrease. 81. 800, 800.
Deposits, decrease. $26lS.000.
Circulation. increase. 80. 500.
The banks now hold $lS 4S5, 500 in excess
OF legal requirements.
The Financier says: The statement of
the Associated Banks of New York city
for the week ending October 9Th shows
a material reduction in cash, the reserve
having decreased over two million dol
lars. all OF which apparently has gone
10 the interior. The money lost seems to
reflect actual shipments. although the
statement is complicated by the adjust
ment of the October settlements, which
have been going on during the week The
decrease in loans Is to be attributed 10
stock liquidation, since the market for
commercial paper and time loans has
been more and more active OF late, and
a great deal of new business has been
doing In these lines. Some Of the banks,
In fact. have withdrawn their call money
for the purpose of putting 1t into mer-
camille paper. The reduction in the loan
item therefore, shows, rather paradox
calIy. a better business condition.
The banks apparently have accepted
the prevailing rates as the maximum.
and are taking advantage Of them on
the theary, that the heavy gold imports
