KLvcHEA'S mURDERER.
Governor MaithewsAFrests dAnd
Lodged in Jail, Charged
with the Crime.
lltlls Rock aAlsti,. q.

Yesterday morning a colored man
named Governor Matthews was arres,
ted on suspicion OF being the murderer
Of Ketcher, and the man who assaulted
lis wife last week. His appearance is
very much like that which theKetcher
children remember Of the man who
committed the outrage. Matthews
lives at LastChance, the small settle
mentj just this side Of Fourche, and
several suspicious circumstances are
claimed as being strong circumstantiai
evidence that he ia the guilty party.
The arrest was made by Messrs Geo.
Counts, Mr.. Heck and CoFonerGillam
They found Matthews riding along
on a load Of wood, and he did not ats
tempt to resist capture. lie is "a tall
and slender black mar, with careless
manner Of walking and talking, and
has small chin whisker5. He is 10 the
employ Of Dr.. Ohrismsn and has been.
it is said, steady and hard worker.
He is said to have mar.
ried q white woman whose
mother is now living at Last Chance.
This w0man's name is Mrs. Benton,
widow OF John Benton, who killed
Bob Stegall ia 1875, ard was sent to
the penitentisry for that crime. A
somewhat curious coincidence in the
arrest yesterday was the fact that Mr.
Couts and Phil II. Thomas, at that
time on tie Little Rock Republican
staff, arrested Benton on exactly the
same spot where the arrest was made
Yesterday. Aside from his relations
with these women, Matthews seems to
have borne pretty good reputation,
and although circumstances point to-
ward his connection with the affair,
still he may not be the guilty party.
A Gazette reporter visited him IN
jail yesterday afternoon. He stood
erect on the floor OF the cage, the
whites OF bis eyes gliStening in this
sombre room. He said that be did
not know for what crime be was ar.

AthrIst,paS Tree.

The children Of theStfanger' sChurch
will remember Christmas, 1888. They
had a Christmas tree Wednesday
evening, the 18th inst. There were
200 or 300 persons present, perhaps
this is an under estimate. The church
was we'll lighted and decorated Ma.
ior j. H. Berry, the Superintendent
was master Of ceremonies. The exer,
cises we're under the immediate difec
ton OF Mrs. Armour, assisted By
Mrs. McOmber. There were
Rotations. songs, declamations, etc.
An hour or so ives thus occupied. and
then the curtain was pulled aside,
revealing in the organ recess ven
lighted and laden Christmas holly,
tree, reaching to the ceiling. Upon
its evergreen and wide spreading
boughs were presents for all the little
ones and more. These we're distributed
as the names were called out, and all
seemed to be full Of happiness aud
enthusiasm Christmas comes but
once year, but fit had been left to
vote Of that particular crowd
it would no doubt have to
come much oftener. Santa Claus, q
stately figure in snowy vesimants and
cap and beard, made his debut in sp-
propriate style, and gave all a hearty
welcome, but owing to the warmth Of
the candles on the holly bush, which
began to melt the icicles on his Sheep
skin sndt frost 10 his beard, aud
also perhaps on account Of an alarm
OF fire coming from Orleans street, he
made rather hasIy exit and was seen
no more. Ifhe came down the stove
pipe il is equally certain that he re.
turned the same way. But aside from
all this it was very nice, pleasant
affair, aud one il is to be hoped that
will be lived over in memory, and re-.
produced in TACT again and again.
