Little Rock & Ft. Smith Rail-
 rnad


 There was a vigorous bear raid in the Boston market last week on Lit tie Rock and Fort Smith, and timid holders were frightened into selling their property by the announcement that the rise Tn the river had enabled the river boats to take way large part of the cotton which the l.. R. & r. s. railroad had expected to trans port. The facts of the Ematter are that the bulk of the crop (S2.00O bales out of total crop of 90.O0O bales in the region tributary to the road has already been carried. For the first twelve days of February, the road carried $20,0l6 against ,O26 during the same time last year. during the same time the land sales were $5, 1892 acres, amounting to $2O,634, against 3S2 acres, amount ing to. o.$l, ,240. The friends of the road say, besides, that ..they do not believe that any large steamboat traffic will set in immediately to compete with the road, though the water is high enough. It is expect ed that the Pine Bluff road, giving rall connection to the Mississippi river, will be completed by next July, when nothing more need be feared from steamboat competition St. Louis Republican.

 THE CLARKsvILLK BURGLARs.-A man by the name of J. P. Randolph has been arrested at Little Rock and is now in custody for complicity in the Clarksville safe burglary. He halls from Fayetteville and is the same man who outwitted Prof. Botifuhr at Fay etteville, and in spite of the most de- cidcd opposition and most determined exertions of that gentleman to break of the alliance, won the affections and l captured the heart and hand of Prof. B's accomplished daughter. He was perhaps one of the right parties, as he I was he.e at our town Sunday night af- ter the robbery, coming in late in the evening. There is almost point-blank circumstancial evidence in possession of one of our hotel keepers here tha, another of the burglars, stopped here Sunday night, and if an experienced detective will come and get the evidence which has been developed here it will be no difficult matter to follow him uI and bring him face to face with his evil deed. The name given by tho party here, his minute description, and the circumstances which give us positive
 belief that he is ono of the main perpe' trators in the burglary, can be obtained
 by calling upon or addressing the post
 master here, or the proprietor of thu Eureka House.
