An Old Woman Perhaps Fatally
Trampled Under a Horses
HOOfH.

An accident, into which criminal
carelessness largely enters, took place
at halfpast ten o'clock this forenoon,
on Jefferson street, just below the
theater. Mrs. Snyder, an old lady
eighty years Of age, living in the
neighborhood, started across the street
with a bucket Of water, and when a
few feet from the gutter, was struck,
knocked down and run over by a
reckless driver, whose name has not
yet been ascertained. The horse was
a wild, vicious one, and the man was
driving recklessly. The poor old lady
was cast under the horses hoofs and
the wheels Of the buggy passed
over her body. The fellow drove on.
and when the crowd ran to the old
lady they found her insensible and
bleeding from several cuts-one on the
upper lip, another on the back of the
neck, and a third, an ugly cash, across
her forehead, while two holes were
cut in her temple. 1t was a sickening
spectacle. As soon as possible she was
removed to her room up stairs across
Jefferson street from the theater, and
DR.. Green was summoned. He is
unable to say yet how serious her inju-
ries are, but the worst fears are enter
tertained.

P%ETTENGILL'S AGENCY.
Like Phoenix, they Rave Risen,
and are Again at the Front,

s. NJ. Pettcngill & Co., the well
known and deservedly popular news
paper advertising agents, were recently
burned out at 81 Park Row, New
York, but have re-established them
selves at 263 Broadway.
In an experience extending through
thirty-three years, this firm has
held an enviable rank among
the newspaper men Of the
country, and they deserve all the
reputation they have made. Being
possessed of ample capital they do
business promptly, fairly and satisA
%faCtorily, as can be readily testified Is
through the various transactions
which have occurred between this
Office, extending as they do through a
series of years. The business relations
have always been pleasant and no
hitch has ever occurred.
In their circular, just received, Pet
tengill & Co. say: I'VE shall continue
our business with as little interruption
as possible, and hope that our present
relations may be perpetuatod. In the
destruction of our Offices by fire on
January 31st, we lost all files Of news
papers, and books Of rates for adver-
Using"
They, therefore, request their CORE
spOndents to forward files of news
papers for the month of January, as
near complete as possible, and to send
a copy of rates for advertising, etc., SO
that business relations may be properly
re-established.
The best of wishes are extended to
Pettengill & Co. for their future sue
cess and prosperity.

The Garbage Question.

EDITOR LEDGER:-It is to be hoped
that the LEDGER will persist in its
effort to retain the present system OF
removing garbage. If any one objects
to the present system, he should at
least offer something to take the place
of it. Why does Mr.. Burke contend
that the new order requiring people to
remove their own garbage will work
better? lshe notawarethat every clean
ly housewife encounters a world of
trouble in trying to compel her negro
servants to destroy the garbage by the
only effectual method, i G, by burning
it? Every darky has the firm super
stition that each potato peal or crust
Of bread which he cremates will bring
an adequate amount of hell's fire down
upon him.
What then is to become of the city's
offal? 1t will require at least as strong
a force al is at present engaged in the
removal Of it, to teach people the only
rational and cheap plan to get rid Of
waste and rubbish, which consists in
burning it. The vast majority of our
people will endeayor to rid themselves
Of it by throwing it at night into ada
cent alleys, or by hiding it in hooks
and corners and trusting to the old
fashion Scavengers, such as hogs, COWS,
turkey b%uzzards, etc.
No doubt the present garbage sys-
tenn is deficient, but every city must
learn these things by degrees and in
stead Of abolishingi it, it would be more
prudent to enforce the ordinance more
rigidly. 1t seems sometimes that we
ought to have a few more epidemics to
bring US to our senses, in order to
learn the immutable truth that
scourgeS such as we experienced in '78
and 70 can only be prevented by a
rigid and rational enforcement Of SAM
tary laws. SANITAs.

ROCK ROBBERS.
The Burglars IdenIi6ed-An At
tachment and q Writ of
HAbeas Corpus.

Officers Adams and Gray, Of Little
Rock, arrived this morning and pro-
ceeded at once to the Jail, where the
two burglars, Begeman and Keely, are
confined. The officers recognized
them as members of a gang of five who
robbed Henry Piels' safe a few nights
since. Detective Adams stated that
they captured two of the burglars,
who ~"peached on their pals" and told
where they could be found. The
officers oyerhauled them in Argenta,
on the opposite side of the river
from Little Rock, but they
escaped. The money stolen amounted
to $500, and of this amount $40 was
r%ecaptured and is now in the hands of
Chief Davis. Mesrs, Taylor and
Winters, attorneys for the burglars,
got an order from them yesterday for
5000 for their services, and run an at
tachment on President MADDEN and
Mr.. Rogers, the stationhouse keeper.
AS the Taxing District, however, can
not be garnisheed or sued, the writs
are probably worthless. Mr.. Piel, the
man robbed, left Little Rock for this
city last night, in compliance with a
request t~elcgraphed by Chief Davis.
An application for a writ of habeas
corpus was shown Judge Eldridge to-
day, and after reading, he said he
could not grant it upon such a reci-
tation Of facts. The attorney then
went off to hunt up more authorities,
with a view to bring the case to a
hearing some time this afternoon.

Marine Loss.

G. B. Taylor's aatboat, No. 10,
loaded with 5000 bushels of corn near
Evansville, sprung a leak below Fort
Pickering a few evenings since, and
shipped three feet of water. The boat
and cargo will be saved in a badly
damaged condition. The corn is now
in course of being discharged neal
the foot of Adams street. The owner,
Captain Taylor, is somewhere down
the river. The cargo is insured
either in Buffalo, New York, or in
the New England Underwriter's Com
pany.

THE VOTERS.
IL Costs Something Here to be u
Citizen.

The genial Poll-tax Collector is
abroad. The second edition of him
appeared at this Office yesterday, claim
ing three dollars unpaid. The man
he was after had paid seven dollars in
October last. The Collector came
after nine dollars that time, but upon
showing a receipt for two dollars, paid
to Collector Daltrof, a rebate was
allowed for that amount and a receipt
taken for the seven dollars last paid.
A few days since another Collector
looked in and told what he wanted.
The alleged delinquent armed himself
with his receipts that night, and yes
terday when the tax -gatherer appeared
asking for three dollars, they were
shown him. Then the tax cormoraAt
wanted a dollar. How much does a
man have to pay in all to get clear of
this matterp" was asked. mine dol
lars" said the man. well, that re-
ceipt is for nine dollsri." "0hl' said
the man, II did not T otice that. Well,
its all right but no account Of it has
ever been turned in" "I'm not sur
prised," said the voter; II don't sup
pose that half of the collections made
heretofore have ever been turned in,
nor do l expect the collections in
future will be much better accounted
for" And the voter turned off to tell
a bystander that the penitentiary is
not half as full as it ought to be.

The man gave his name as A. P.
Fulkerson, physician and practical
druggist. He stated to-day that he
was, prior to 1869, a prominent drug
gist in Virginia, but lost his money
and had not been able to get anything
to do since; that he had ~traversed the
whole country, but was sometimes
followed and sometimes preceded by
an army Of enemies, who were evan
gelists, spiritualists and mind readers,
and who ware determined he should
not succeed. He had been IN Mem
phis before; had stopped at the Pea
body, and thought he could do it
again; so he just registered has name

evident the nan was insane, and he
was sent to Jail on a warrant charging
him with lunacy.

A POSTOFFlcE FIGHT.

POSIOFFtCE FIGHT.
Madison. Wis. Jan. 24.-The contest
over the Madison postmastership took
decidedly sensational turn tonight.
Keyes was in the Democrat office talking
with editor Raymor about how Frank
had obtained signers to his petition by
securing the names of women and boys
and had raked through the graveyards
for the names he had. He also went out
to Mount Hereb for men to indorse his
Frank's) application for the postofice.
While Reyes was talking this way, in
comes Frank himself. Frank was about
to back out of the room, when editor
Raymor called out to him to come in and
settle the postoffice business, and Keyes
continued to condemn Frank for his
course, and Frank retaliated by bringing
up the Keyes divorce suit. saying if he
(Frank) had such record he would not
dare show his face in town. This
exasperated Keyes, and he commenced
unb.aiding Frank in very excited man
ner, saying that he was proud he was
deacon in church, and wore the knees of
pants out in praying. This wind war;
fare continued until it came to blows.
They we're about to have regular fight,
when editor Raymor said he was not
going to have any blood shed in the
Democrat Office, and pulled them apart.
Ii he had not prevented them there
would have certainly been case of
assault and battery in the municipal
court tO.mOrroW.
