| special 10 Lne APPEALsl
LITTLE Rock, August 26.-Right
Rev. Bishop H. N. Pierce was elected
to-day by the primary convention OF
the Episcopal Church, which has been
in session several days, as Bishop OF
the diocese of Arkansas.
Governor Hadley and Colonel Page,
State Treasurer, left for New York to.
day. It Is understood that the latter
goes to collect the interest on the State
bonds due from the Little Rock, Pine
Bluff and New Orleans, and Missis-
sippi, Ouachita and Red River roads.
Colonel Lewis, President of these
roads, and who carries the State in
his breeches pocket, left the
city yesterday for New York,
where he has been for the past
three months trying to effect negotia-
tions for building these roads. II is
understood that he came here to get
more bonds to pay the interest, and
that he either got them or the prom
ise OF them, at least. Hadley and
Page have gone to New York to look
after the matter.
The matter which excltes the ut
most interest among the citizens just
now is the new regime in the House. A
committee from the City Council have
assumed the responsibility of letting
the contract out for ST., 800. When
the Council convened the contract
was let to another party for $4,000.
The question now is, who has got the
contract. The lowest bidders assert
that the others paid the committee
$4,000 for the contract, while they as
sert that the city acted in bad faith
toward them. 1t is a disgraceful az
fair all round.

This is narrow gauge road and will

point to its early completion.

The other day three men named
Turner set upon and killed a man
named Clark, an employee of the At
lanta and West Point railroad, under
pretense that he had made improper
advances TO their daughter and sister.
They were all arrested, daughter and
all. The unhappy woman, before
being released on bail, made state
ment which will prove most dam
aging to her fathers and brothers
cause, aIs3 which stamps their attack
upon Clerks life as a most diabOli-
cally planned and coWardly murder.
Alarmed at the extent of Mr.. Clark's
injuries, and stung by the keenest re-
morse for her participation in the fatal
sffray, Miss Turner has confessed that
she wrote the note to Clark at the de-
mand of her brothers, who, she alleges,
have for some months harbored a bit
ter enmity against Clark, threatening
repeatedly that they would "yet drive
him OFF the railroad;" that when she
received Clark's reply to her note, ap.
pointing Walton street as the place of
their meeting, it was planned by her
two brothers and her father that she
should walk with her dupe up Walton
street and past q certain designated
,hQHse. behind which they were to
await concealed; that upon her ap-
preach with Clark they were to spring
out and attack him, she flying out of
danger at given signal from them.
How successfully this hellish plan has
been carried out has been seen. Now
it remains for the authorities to do
their duty and bring the four con-
spring murderers to a speedy, just
and severe TetributiOn.
