sensational nlterc&tion between Desha
I Breckinridge and .lames Duatine Livingston
In the Phoenix hotel Saturday
, afternoon has been the talk of the city
and the whole of the Ashland district
t today nnd it is feared that more trouble
will follow. Livingston is doing well
this morning and the wound in his hand
will soon be well. He says that he
' saved himself trom -t fatal stab by
1 grabbing the dirk and Breckinridge
' from being a cold blooded assassin.
The Owens Men Kxrltril.
Livingston was a strong supporter of <
Owens and one of t he latter men said this ,
' morning that if Desha llreekinridge
and his friends intended to exterminate
all the men who worked for
Owens, as they seem to want to do, i
they will have to enlarge their cemetery.
"This sort of tiling won't do, no J
matter how sore they are. They may
just as well tul^p their medicine." !
The tight oceurreil a few minutes
after 5 o'clock. x
Livingston was standing at the hotel
news and cigar stand reading an after- 1
noon paper when Desha Breckinridge *
came in and bouglri a package of cigarettes.
Livingston spoke to l)esha and
extended his hand, saying: "It is all
over now; we ought to he friends.
Shake hands." *
Breckinridge, with an angry look on f
his face, replied: "No. you one-horse !
scoundrel; I will not take your hand. ^
Vou profess to l?e a man's friend and k
then stab him in the hack." ''
Livingston replied to this by saving
that he had done nothing of the kind, 1
when Breckinridge called him a x
"damned liar." *
ItrcekinrlUcc Aimed at 11 In llrurt.
Then Livingston struck tit Desha A
and knocked his glasses off. following
this up with a blow on the neck. Desha
reached for his hip pocket and instant- ^
ly flashed in thoairthe long, bright '
blade of a dirk. 1'
Both men were as pale as dSath. "
Livingston in a moment of desperation ''
grabbed at the glittering blade which
Breckinridge had aimed at his bear.L "
and thtrd fingers of Livingston's right 11
hand, cutting the third finger to the ?
bone. The hotel clerk and several by- ^
standers rushed in and seized Breckinridge
and at the same instant Matt 11
Lane, a- strong Breckinridge man. ^
ran up ami said In* would take hand in J'
helping Desha. Two witnesses say P
that Lane also flourished a big knife. u
Lane and .1 udgc Kinkbead afterwards
had a rjuurrel on the streets. and tin*
former dealt in t In* most scathing A
abuse. Trouble will be certain to fol
low.

over whom lianas the most conclusive
evidence of the murder of Forrest
Crowley,has been carried to the scene of
the murder, anil his shoes fitted in the
tracks where the mutilated body was
found. The lit was perfect and as the
tracks have remained fresh from the day
of the murder, the clue is regarded as
another important link to the chain already
so strongly entwined about him.
Myers arrived in Atlanta yesterday

clings to the story of being a tool

Hen Allen is not the Allen in question,
and that the latter, si handsome young1

jf the plot is one thsit has been worked

This storm is a perfect type of those 1
bred in the tropics (hiring the Septem- '
;ber and early October seasons. Its velocity
is unusual, but this is expected to |
diminish before the wind reaches the
northern latitudes. Last night the 1
storm centre was two hundred miles
southeast of Key West, the wind having
a velocity of thirty-six miles from i
the northeast. It moved two hundred i
miles west last night, and today at the <
rate of sixteen miles an hour, its aver- ?
iage forward movement previously lie- 1
ing fourteen miles an hour. ]
INCREASE ?N DRY GOODS TRADE J

of llu*liie*s Done. (
Nkw York. September :25.?A mem- (
ber of one of the largest dry goods <
firms in this country said today, in (
talking with the president of his bank 1
over the general business situation: '
"We are doing a very large business. c
'In fact, one day last week we broke the * '
(record in doing the largest business in ^
;the history of the house, and this is ''
saving a good deal." n
r . ,
r What is true of that house, in a gen- n
eral way. is true of almost every other *
house in the same line, and is also true r
;<>f the houses i*i nearly every other r
line of trade. n
Further evidence of this picking up u
of trade was given atn^Un wAr *
mills, some of which are located in this
country, and others in Franco, Italy,
and (lormany. and it aggregated 000 e
pieces, or about 000,000 yards, which tl
brought in round numbers $500,000, the t<
average prices paid being good. It had b
been expected that the sale would ol
take at least two days, butrso brisk was e
the buying that it was all concluded p
within the day. is
PROTEST AGAINST THE TARIFF. *
Distillers I'mlrr llnnil lit on Outs I'rotcit- S
hoc ten Inst tltc I ncreased Henownl. il
Ciiicauo. September \M.?The Distill- li
ing and Ca ttle-feeding company tiled
protests today at revenue otliccs both
in Chicago and Peoria against the new
tariff law's provisions for increased P
bonds which the distillers are compelled P
to give to secure the payment of the 11
tax on the spirits bonded before the r
new law went into effect. Distillers
were under bonds to the full amount of
the whiskey in the warehouses at 00 j
cents per gallon. Their renewal was ^
necessary at the rate of $1.00. With the ^
protest, new bonds for the whiskey in
lu?nd at Chicago were tiled by M. S. -|
Taylor, assistant general agent of the ?
Distilling company here. The protest
takes the position that when the tl
whiskey was made and put in liond
there was an implicit contract with the y
government at the 00 cents rate.

has been moved to the town of Nebraska,
about three miles distant. Nebraska
will hereafter be known as Appomattox.
and its postoftice was so named
by an order issued by the postmastergeneral
Saturday. The department,
not wishing to have the two towns with
similar names, wrote to the postmaster
of Appomattox court house asking'him
to suggest a new name for his postoftice.
The matter was laid before the citizens
and the name Surrender was selected
