mean anything serious, then wondering,
and finally suspicious.

Probabilities that Hanson will
Return and Face che Music
No Warrant Vet Made for MRS.
Smiths Arrest.

In a conversation this forenoon the
Attorney General told the reporter
that he was hourly expecting develop
ments in the Moore murder case, and
was only awaiting the return Of Paine,
who was absent on a business trip
down the river.
The statement made by Miss Bette
Moore yesterday to Assistant Weak
ley was the same as hal made on the
stand at the time Of the murder when
Mrs. Moore and Hanson were both
arrested on suspicion, but discharged
for lack of evidence.
On the other hand, it is author
itatively stated that Mrs. Moore,
who is now Mrs. j. N. Smith, has
now written to Hanson urging him to
come back here and face his accusers.
Mrs. Smith is looking pale and bag
gard, but denounced the whole thing
as an infamous conspiracy. From
others it is learned that Mrs. Smith
was arrested on the expressed suspi-
cion of the murdered mans immediate
relatives, with whom she did not live
in harmony and hal as soon as she was
released she renowned them and
moved to another place. The bitter
est feelings now exist between them.
The prevailing opinion about the
Courthouse is that Mrs. Smith will
not be arrested, but the matter will
gradually fade away.
Mr.. George W. Moore says a colored
man named Brooks who works at
Spears gin, told him last night that
he formerly worked at Paine's gin, and
one day Henry Harris, another laborer,
who slept at the gin, informed him
confdentially that Hanson killed
Moore. When questioned further by
Brooks, Harris said, II know Joe
Hanson killed F.aak Moore, because
l saw HIM early next morning come
through the yard of the gin with a
pistol in his hand" Henry Harris is
supposed to be in Little Rock at pres
emit.

Turning the screws on Tighter.

An unexpected jump upward has
been made on freight rates of cotton
from here to the Eastern seaboard,
the increase being 13 per cwt.
Our cotton buyers we're taken by
surprise at the sudden and previously
unannounced movement. Upon in
quiring Of freight agents why no init
nation had been given, it was stated
that they didn't know it themselves.
No pooling system prevails this sea-
son, and none is likely, each line
working, through its particular repre-
sentative, on its own merits. Cotton
men expect to enjoy some benefit from
this, as the cotton season will be short,
and ere long the lines are likely to
compete so earnestly that rate cutting
is anticipated.
Regarding the advance in rates, it
appears that the railway agents met
in Cincinnati two weeks ago and put
the figures up as before stated, but
they did not promulgate their agree
ment until yesterday or the day before.
Ia the early part of the season they
held a meeting and agreed Upon
freight rates that were deemed very
satisfactory to all concerned. This
rate was SIC per cwt. to New York
SIC to Boston, Lowell, Providence and
Lawrence, and in proportion or about
&c per cwt. above the st. Louis tariff.
The new rate, however, is still Sc per
cwt. below last years tariff, and is as
follows:
To New York, Coo per cwt.; to Bos-
ton, Providence, Lowell and Lawrence,
zoe; to Philadelphia and Cohoes, 63c;
Baltimore, &c; Fall River, 76c. all
rail, and &c per cwt. less, rail and
river.
