LoNoKE, Arkansas, was visited
by fire just before daylight on the
morning of the 22nd. The Store
house OF Mr.. J. c. Goodman, where
the fire originated, had evidently
been entered for shc purpose OF be-
ing burglarized, as the safe was found
to have been roughly handled, the
marks of chiscl and hammer, were
found on its door. An axe, chisel,
a hammer, with brass knuckles and
other burglars tools were found near
the safe. 1t is thought that In an
attempt to blow the safe open, the
house was set on fire. Two other
builings, including the principal ho-
tel of the place, were destroyed with
contents, making an estimated loss
of SIS, 10000; partly insured.

CLEAR LAKE, Sept. 20, 1884

EDITOR TIMEs-Dear Sir: The
first bale of cotton has been taken
off the Lake, being picked on the l6.
The road leading from here to
Barfeld Point has been worked and
embraces the important feature of a
cross-lay at the foot of Clear Lake.
The people were not sure that they
could readily secure bridge, and
SO they rolled about three hundred
logs into the water and made cross
lay six feet high. Ii was a greater
task than is generally undertaken by
those who work the roads; and now
that it is completed, it gives an out
let from the Lake to the river, and
which, since the caving Of the river
bank, is the only road from Mil ba-
you to Barfeld.
Walter Conley is the man who
got out the first bale, above men
toned; and George Miller is the
oversecr of that log road.

MEMrnIs, Sept. 22.-Sheritf James
T. Barton, of Crittenden county,
Ark, arrived this afternoon from
Nashville, having in custody Hiram
Jeffrey, who had been in the peni-
tcntiary there, serving sentence of
three years for the robbery of SO
from a stranger in Lexington, Hen
derson county, Tenn. Jeifrey's time
expired Sunday, and he was released
only TO be taken in charge 10y Sheriff
Barton, who will carry Kim to Mari
on, Ark, tomorrow morning. JEFF
frey is under sentence of death,
having been convicted at Marion in
the spring of 1880, for the murder Of
John l.. Broadway, an old man aged
50 wears, who, on the night OF the
26th. of October, 1879, was shot
down in his house, while resisting
masked men, who were engaged III
robbing his dwelling. One of the
number, John Potter, was allowed
to turn states evidence, and he de-
clared Jeffrey did the killing. On
his testimony Jeffrey and a young
man by the name of L.l.. Ford were
convicted. Potter afterwards aided
Jeffrey to escape from the Jail at
Marion, leaving Ford, who was only
Is years of age, to his fate. The
general impression at that time was
that Ford was innocent, but he was
hanged on the 9th. of May, lSS0'

ONE OF FLA'S DELICACIES.

Few people who see bananas hang
ing in fruit stores think Of them as
more than tropical luxury. In fact,
they are "A staple article of food in
some parts OF the world, and accord
ing to Humbolt, an acre in bananas
will produce as much food for a man
as twenty-five acres in wheat. 1t is
the ease with which bananas are
grown which is the great obstacle to
cultivation in some tropical coun-
tries. 1t is SO easy to get living
without hard work that no effort will
be made and the men become lazy
and intolerably shiftless. All that
is needed is to stick plant in the
ground. 1t will ripen its fruit in
twelve or sixteen months without
further care, if the land is rich, each
will bear from seventy-five to one
hundred and twenty-five bananas;
and when that dies down after fruit
ing, new shoots spring up to take its
place. In regions where no frost
ever reaches, bananas are found in
all stages Of growth, ripening their
fruit every month in the year. Col
Whitner, near Silver Lake, Fla, has
probably the largest banana planta-
ton in the United States, contain
ing some ten thousand plants in
bearing. Some of these are large
plants, which do not die after bear.
ing their fruit, bat the majority arc
of the dwarf species which are re.
newed every year. Slips are plant
ell about eight feet apart, and rapid
~ bush up caves, disclosing six OF
eight bananas behind this protection
Some plants will have sixteen tc
twenty leaves and branches of fruit
bending over il as it ripens, forming
Il most beautiful sight. The culture
of bananas is very profitable, and
with the unlimited capacity of Flor.
ida and the West India Islands foi
producing, there should always be q
supply equal to any possible demand

ence was called to order at 10 o'clock, at
which time there was large attendance III
the lobby, the majority being colored resi-
dents of this city. Within the bar number
ladies' We're provided with seats. The pro
ceedings opened with prayer, after which the
delegates not enrolled were placed into the
hands of the committee on credentials.
Rev. Smith suggested that the members OF
the conference now contribute to the expenses
which was done, occupying considerable
time. After concluding, George Downing,
of Rhode Island, presented the following
resolutions without predatory remarks:
Resolved, That :he Republican and Demo
cratic managers have not, as rule, respected
the rights and proper feelings of the colored
citizens in the management of their parties
and in the administrations to which they
have been selected and elected; that this has
been true in the face of repeated appeals and
protests on the part of the colored people and
their friends.
Resolved, That we cherish the hope that
the above parties will see that it is polite at
least to change their policy in this regard:
that we observe significant evidence of
change in the direction hoped for on the part
of some of the above leaders
Resolved, That it is both polite and manly
for the colored voter to await events and
declarations and not to, at the present time,
commit himself to any political party
Resolved. That these resolutions be con-
sidered ir@xecntive session.
After Some animated discussion as to
whether the resolutions should be considered

was taken up and the value of organization
discussed. A lengthy, and able address was

of Sixth and Vine streets was not lighted up
The windows OF tha composng-room and
of the editorial rooms We're dark.
These circumstances attracted universal
attention. and members of the ed
itorial staff did not seem to understand
the situation. Mr. Charles NJ. Steele busi-
ness manager of the concern, and also large
stakeholder, explained the matter to your
correspondent He said that he had left his
regular business to make a success of The
News-Journal under specific promises by the
stockholders to give him backing. He did
not say what sort of backing, or how
much, but he did say that the stock
holders failed and refused to come up
to their contract. After they had
committed themselves to a refusal.
Mr.. Steele forthwith dismissed the printers
and editorial force, paid them off to date,
and was about to shut up the office. The
stockholders, when notified of this proceed
ing, hustled around, held a meeting, and
came to terms, whereupon Mr.. Steele called
the printers together and gathered up bis
editors, and prepared to issue paper 1t was
not contemplated by him that the pape I
would stop longer than for one day.
