A DUBLIN dispatch of the 22d says: ga
quantity of arms and cartridges have been
discovered under bridge at Sligo. An in
quiry is proceeding into the murder con-
spiracy which has been uRearthed in
County Mayo. The first clue to its exist
ence was obtained from a person who was
arrested with suspicious papers in his pos
session. He was then released to act as
spy in the interest of the police. In this
capacity he attended several meetings of
the conspirators, at which number of per-
sons were named to be murdered. The
assassins were appointed by lot. In fur
therance of the plots concocted by the con-
spirators two farmers were shot and wound
ed. Six of the plotters have been arrested
and are undergoing an examination"

who infest Rome.

ARCHBISHOP CRoKE, in preaching from
his pulpit in the Cathedral at Thurles on
the oath, said the Pope had expressed sor-
row that Ireland was troubled, owing to the
lawless views of a certain class, and to Sc.
cret societies. The Archbishop exhorted
the people not to allow word of condem-
nation to escape their lips against the Pope,
who, he said, was their best friend. When
the Archbishop was in Rome the Pope, in
addressing him, said: 81 am as good an
Irishman as you are" The Archbishop
expressed his intention of obeying the
Pope's commands.

SOUTHERN EXPOSITION ARK. DEPT.
 Sept. 8, 'S3.
 Another week of magnificent suc- cess has passed since my last, at the grand Exposition. The programme, for variety has not been excelled and the interest is sincreasing very rapid ly. The Royal Knights afresh from their victorious tour to San Francis co returned to thelr home city, bear ing their golden vase filled with gold quartz that was awarded them, for being the best drilled commandery that passed the golden gate, they were received with marks of unusual courtesy by the mayor and commit tee at the Exposition. The great American fruit show attracted inn mense crowds, every state was more or less represented in some way. On Tuesday the excursion of editors arrived from Alabama On Wednes- day the Indiana editors came by the courtesy of the railroads. Thursday the Chicago editors arrived by the Monon route. Friday the editors from Misslssippi came in by the l.. < N. R. R. The city is crowded with strangers and the business at hotels and stores is immense. r. J. Barnum's show brought thousands of people to the city, they also at tended the Exposition. The excur- sion arrived from Little Rock Thurs day. The next will start from Lit tie Rock on the 18th 3:30 p. m. The 18th of Sept. is "Arkansas day" Cotton will be gathered on Hon. J. M. Hewett's plantation at Mariana, brought to Exposition, ginned, spun, woven, cut and made into, coat and worn by the Governor in 36 hours, the day will close with q reel to and fro on section of timber 10 feet in diameter from Arkansas. Gilmore's band will render the Ar kansaw Traveller in a thousand vari- ations. The fire works at night will be in honor of our state. This for the people of Arkansas will be THE day. The Arkansas display is de- cidedly cre6itable. There have been about 500 visitors registered all of whom are delighted at our grand success. The ladies Floral depart ment needs no more money, but the struggling board does. The ladies were left off the board, but are ahead in the display. Ladies, helD the board! Visitors should not fail to visit the Plate Glass works at New Albany, and the Government works at JeffersonvIlle, just across the Ohio river which can be crossed by a railroad bridge one mile long or by steamboat. All kinds of amuse- ments are open to stranger. The grand Exposition hotel has 750 guests cheaper than tirst-class hotels, and more convenient. Two hundred voices with the grand organ and band of 50 instruments all at once bring supernal down to human ears and joyful hearts. The newspapers from Arkansas are gone by the mid dle of the week, send more.
 Respectfully,

DIED.


 William Dunlap departed this life Sept. 7th 1883, aged 5l years and 24 days.
 Mr. Dunlap was born and reared in Tennessee, from whence he came to this state eight or ten years ago. At the age of D he professed faith in Christ at Salem, Gibson county Tenn, and joined the Cumberland Presbyteri- an church at that place, since which time he has lived devoted and con- sistent life, exemplyfying those noble traits of character that emanate from genuine love to God. He left abundant evidence that while in the valley and shadow of death his faith in God was unshaken. He leaves wife and seven children-flve boys and two girls-to mourn his absence, to whom we tender our profoundest sympathies, and urge them to trust the same God that the husband and father praised in his dy- ing hour. The funepal was preached by Rev. II. B. Milner Saturday, Sept. 6th at Byants school house, before | large concourse of the friends of the deceased. M. Charles Henry Petray, son of John w. and Mary E. Petray was born in Pope county July 2lth 1870, and died August 18th 1883.
 Elisabeth P. Petray, daughter of John W. and Mary K. Petray was born in Pope county January 4th 1875, and died Aug. goth 1883.
 Charlie and Lizzie were laid to rest at Cove church in the same grave Aug 2lst, to wait the resurrection of the righteous. They are not dead but sleepeth. WM. D. MATTHEWS.

Two Men Hung by a Mob at Dan-
 yilIA.

From the Dardanelle Post Extra, 10th. Mitch Briggs, negro of Danville came in from that town yesterday with note from Deputy Sheriff Hunnicutt to Sheriff Davis contain ing the information that Dr. Flood and John Coker, two prisoners jn jail there had been taken out the night before Saturday night, by a mob and hung until they were dead,
 A Post reporter interviewed the messenger and obtained the follow ing few particulars:
 The mob consisted of about fifteen men, all of whom came mounted and masked. They arrived about 12 o'clock, coming from the east and hitched their horses on the outskirts of the town, then went direct to the jail. Two young men named Carter (not related to the late Chas. Carter) were on guard, and were ordered to open the outer door. They refused and parleyed, but the mob becoming exasperated at the delay ordered the door broken in with an axe, when the guards yielded and opened the door, at the same tune telling the mob that they had no keys to the jail-that Mir. Hunnicutt had the keys. They replied d--n the keys, and proceeded to knock off the jail and cage locks with an axe.
 Blocker was praying earnestly and one of the men asked him who he was and he said 'Blocker." The re joinder was, "Well, hush up your blunbering-we don't want you" They then took Flood and Coker from the jail and told the guards to take charge of Blocker. Coker is said to have "kicked" good deal and asked the men to shoot him, but they said they would be satisfied with nothing short of hanging, and that he (Coker) yelled three times at the top of his voice. Flood took it quietly.
 They were taken to the iron bridge which spans the Petit Jean g few hundred yards away and were both hung from the cross beam that crosses the center span.
 The bodies were cut down about day light Sunday morning by the citizens and the inquest was being held when the messenger left.
 The town was considerably excit- ed over the affair and the officers in dignant. There is no clue as to the identity of any of the mob. The taking of Flood and Coker and not Blocker suggests the mob was aveng. ing the death of Carter and Caldwell although both men hung were under indictment for murder in the first degree as accessories after the fact to the killing of Wm. Potter. Coker is the man who, on the day before Carter and Caldwell were killed, said to Raper "It is your day to day, but to morrow it will be mine." Flood is the man who harbored the Daniels for weeks and said publicly and de fiantly that he would assist them as long as he had anything to assist them with He is said to have been their counsellor and adviser.

Russellville Public School.

The fall term of the school begins Oct. 1st, with full corps of teach CTS. The supervision for the coming year is placed in the hands of Prof. Josiah H. Shinn, with whom the people of Ruseellville are we'll ac- quainted. Hrs Assistants, Prof. B. R. Womack. Miss Birdie Caldwell, Mss Hattie Williams, Miss Florence Fruit and Mrs. Jane k. Thach are we'll qualified for the work to which they have been chosen, and we con tidently predict a successful year for the school. The grades are all free to children of the district and the charges for non-residents are no more than tuition of like schools elsewhere. These charges are for the full term of twenty weeks, as follows:
 High School 5000 Intermediate 15.00 Primary 1000
 One half of this is exacted in ad- vance and the remaining half at the end of ten weeks.
 No school can hope to produce the most excellent results without harmony among it's patrons and school officers. We ask each father and mother Tn the Russellville dis trict to give to the officers and teachers of the school his hearty support, and to so express his pri- vate opinions as that strong pub lie school sentiment may be engen- dered. If this is done splendid re- suits will be achieved and your con seryative action will bring open honor to yourself.

Capt. J. Il. Perry returned home last Saturday from an extended trip to Freeman Springs for the benefit of his health. We are glad to note that his health is greatly improved.
 Judge J. M. Howry and wife. of Mississippi, are Tn the city visiting Mir. and Mrs. Fl. F. White and other relatives. They go from here to Washington county to visit relatives there.
 MT. k. B. Ferguson, another one of Russellville's young men has taken the road in the employ of a wholesale grocery house of Little Rock. We wish Ed abundant sue cess.
 --Dr. M. M. Mcclure, one of Dar- danelle's most worthy citizens, came over on the train Monday last and shook hands all around with Rus sellville friends. The Dr. was en- route to Little Rock.
 Mir. Drewry Massey and Miss Mary Harris, of Quitman are visit ing in Russellville, the guests of Rev. J. L. Massey. The former is the father of Rev. Mir. Massey, the latter the sister of his wife. We wish them a pleasant sojourn in our midst.
 Lawrence Russell, Russellville's rising young lawyer, returned last Saturday from the famous Eureka Springs. He IS of opinion that many other points on that side of the mountain are equally as healthy as Eureka, and much more liable to be struck with boom.
 We are pleased to see Mrs. Ben. w. Allen again at home. She has just returned from visit of two weeks to Elixir Springs fourteen miles northeast of Harrison in Boone coun ty. She is much improved in health and enthusiastic in regard to the qualities of the waters at Elixir.
 The friends, and they arc le- zion, of Mir. B. F. lobe, will learn with gladness of his return to Rus sellville, this time "for good" Frank, as will be seen elsewhere. takes his old place on the DEMOCRAT, and when Frank is at the helm she will make the trip safely and on time. Mrs. lobe and the children will re- turn in about four weeks.
 MT. IT. F. White of the firm of Howell White & Co.,, who was sum- moned few weeks ago to the bed side ofhis aged father In Gaston Co.,, N. C., returned last Friday. We are sorry to oIearn that the pleasure of MT. Whites visit was marred by an attack of N. c. chills. He seems to have recovered, however, as his ap- pearance indicates his usual health.
 MT. J. F. Munday, Editor of the DEMOCRAT, hied himself away Monday morning for an extended eastern trip of two or three weeks. He goes to Mem phis, thence to Nashville and on to Louisville to see the wonders of the great Southern Exposition.

 Mrs. Alma V. Chapman, the ex- cellent wife of that Virginia gentle man, Geo. w. Chapman, paid her many friends of Russe!lville visit last week, the guest of ye editor. These two excellent people are guil- ty of the crime of robblng Russell ville of a great deal of pleasure for the reason that they have for the last year or so made their residence in Woodson instead of Russellvilie.
