LITTLE ROCK, ARK.
The water Works Shut Down and
Business of the City Greatly
Interfered with.
ESPECIAL TO TEE APPEAL. |

LITTLE Rock, ARK September a.
The Home Water Company and all
dependent institutions of this city
have been unable to move wheel
since Friday last in consequence of
the muddy condition OF the Arkansas
river, from which stream the water
company has been supplying the city.
The river has been on the rise for
some time past, but the company kept
on supplying the water as long as it
would run through the pipes, and mill
ing and other interests of the city used
it until the boilers of their engines be-
came go coated with mud that the
greatest apprehension was felt lest an
explosion should occur. The Gazette
Printing Company, which lights its
three story building with electricity,
the dynamo being run with forty
horse power engine, was also forced to
shut down, and instead of electric
light over each of the composing room
cases have returned to primitive can
die power, and each compositor
now sets type with his casa lined
and lighted with and by candle light.
The illumination bears striking re-
sembance to an Irish wake. The
water company is constructing a
mammoth reservoir west of the city,
but this will not be ready for use
until the fist OF the year. Before
shutting down the pipes in the city
were filed with water, together with
large tanks at the works, and this,
with what cisterns there are in the
city, will furnish water for any fire
that may occur. 1t is expected that
the company will resume operations
Wednesday.

ArkaDsas's Cotton Crop.


LITTLE Rock, ARK, September 81
Notwithstanding the general estimate
that the present cotton season will
yield $50, 900 bales to the State, the
crop is most decidedly backward in
coming in. The same may be said of
other cotton shipping points, Con-
siderable Of the staple reaching this
market classes good middliDg aud
middling fair, but our farming classes
are apprehensivs for the crop yet un.
gathered. The temperature has fallen,
and a general rain has prevailed
throughout this section yesterday and
today, and from the looks of the
clouds tonight it may be several days
before we have fair weather. This
city handled $4,000 Of last seasons
crop, and is now prepared to give at
tentlon to fully this amount.

LAwRRSCRBURG, Tenn, September
27.-The crowd was large, enthusi-
astic, and remarkably attentive and
respectful. ALI was brought yester-
day by bis friends from Pulaski to the
Meister Hotel here and r. H. Harvey,
chairman of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, went to Pulaski and
brought Bob to the Hon. George II.
Means's home, where he remained
last night and this morning, receiving
calls from his friends.
At 10 o'clock today large process
sion on horseback went out one mile,
equipped with flags and flowers, and
escorted Bob to town.
Alf was introduced by N. B. Sims,
chairman of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee. He launched out at
once and made fine speech from his
standpoint, which was esgerly listened
to by men aud women of all parties,
numbering between 2OCo and 5000.
Bob was introduced by DIR. r. H.
Harvey, chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee, and he made q
powerful speech, aIrAigning facts and
impressing his views upon sll present
in a most mastery style, showing that
he is gaining in force and effectiveness
with each speech he makes. He left
no point untouched, and he carried
the audience by storm. Their atien-
ton and hearty cheers showed they
were satisfied and fully convinced
that Bob should and would be elected
Governor by an overwhelming major
ity in November
To sum up all in few words, De-
mocracy has met Republicanism here
today and victory perches on her
banner, and "0ur Bob" is the cry of
the united Democratic vote OF old

The colored people of Memphis yes
terday celebrated their emancipation
from slavery by military parade and
competitive drill, which attracted sew
eral train loads Of excuTsionists from
the surrounding States. In holiday
attire our fellow citizens OF African de-
scent took possession Of the
principal highways, the Square and
the grounds of the Federal building
fronting the river, and in the after
noon they poured for an hour or more
by street cars out to the Citizens Base-
ball Park, where the drill took place.
At night other forms of amusement
were provided, and the people
who, when Cleveland was elect
ed, were made to believe
they would again be made slaves, en-
joyed Themselves to the top of their
bent and IS their hearts dictated.
There were none to gainsay them or
to make them afraid. The day was
fair and bright, though rather warm in
the sun, but this heat was Tempered
by a cooling breeze that as night drew
on increased TO a storm, accompanied
by drenehing rain. This, though
it may have dampened the srdor of
the jubilee singers, did not prevent
the great mass from rejoicing with ex-
ceeding great joy that they are free
and free citizens Of the great republic.

IT will be a gain for the Democratic
party if the Cleveland administration
shall succeed in making a new navy,
and one worthy the dignity and
strength of the republic. Hitherto
the army has been the pet of Con-
grsss and the navy has been
neglected. AS the time approaches
when the land service may safely be
reduced to ten thousand men, the
navy ought to become the peculiar
care of the national legislature and
should within the next ten years be
brought to the perfection that
is boosted by England, Italy
and France. We should lead upon
the seas everywhere, and make our
selves respected as first among the
martini powers OF the world. Reduce
the useless army, disband its regi-
msnts, pension the surplus officers,
and increase the navy till in first class
ships and men it is equal to those Of
the most favored nations of Europe.

JACKSON, MISS.

Members Remaining Hold
Meetings.


JACKSON, Miss, September 27.-Mrs.
Chaplin, vice president of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, arrived
Saturday night aud made a short adj
dress to large audience, which was
most appropriate and we'll received.
Yesterday Sunday at IL o'clock the
Rev. w. G. Black, d. D., of Meridian,
by invitation OF the union, delivered a
powerful sermon at the Baptist Church
from the text, "Help those women,
etc." found in the fourth chap
ter OF Ephesans and third
verse. The house was filed 10
OVERLOOKING and the sermon was one
of the ablest ever delivered in Jackson.
The Prohibitionists were specially
pleased with it. At $3.50 o'clock Mrs.
Chaplin delivered a magnificent adj
dress in the Hall OF Representatives
to an immense audience, and another
at 1880 o'clock. Both were we'll re-
ceived. The convention proper ad.
journed Saturday night, but Mrs.
Chaplin will remain over Monday
night and will give further instruction
in regard to the work to those who
remain. A large Evanpelistic Com
mittee, with Miss Nellie McGhee
Smell as chairman, held services yes

NoTwITHsTANDING the statements
of Mr.. Proctor, the renowned astrono-
mer, and other scientists that Virgins
is charla' an and a humbug, wholly
and altogether without foundation for
his prediction, the people in the
country lying between the thitieth
parallel and the Atlantic coast are very
shaky and are likely to grow more so
until after the 29tb. There seems 10
be a general apprehension of sweep
ing and dire disaster which receives
come warrant in the almost contin-
uous shocks OF earthquake at Charles
ton and vicinity, one of which
yesterday afternoon occssioned a
momentary panic. Virgins seems to
have the ear of the people, who, with
their known tendency toward the
marvellous, prefer the excitement re-
sultiDg from his representation to
sense of security, such as Mr.. Proc
tors assurances, elsewhere published,
cannot fail to bring to the more
thoughtful. Virgins, in the popular
mind, has not yet been downed.

The Meeting Yesterday.


JACKSON, MISS, September 27.-The
members Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union who remained in
town today have profited by the advice
and instructions from Mrs. Chaplin, OF
South Carolina, on the most effective
manner OF pursuing the work. She
thoroughly understands the subject,
and the members feel that they have
been greatly benefited by her visit.
Most OF the members left today, but
a good many remained, and Assem-
bled in Representatives. Hall at 10
O'Clock. Mrs. Erwin, the president,
opened the exercises with one OF Sam
Jones's songs, after which Mrs. Cha
pin read chapter from the Bible,
which was followed by a prayer by
Mrs. Montgomery, Of Jackson county.
Mrs. Chaplin then selected a verse
from the Bible for her theme, and de-
livered a very fine, instructive and
impressive lecture on woman's work.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA.
Attempt 10 Wreck n Train-The
East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL


BIRMINeHAM, ALA, September 81
Another ugly attempt at train wreck
ing was made on the Queen and Ores
cent railroad last night just before the
north boubd passenger train was due.
The depot agent, while at supper, was
informed by negro woman that she
saw a man put a rail on the
track. The agent, sure enough,
found the rail on the way to the
depot and removed it, and when the
train came warned the engineer to
look out for other distractions. Les
than mile from town the train ran
across ties and rails on the track in
two places The first time the en-.
gineer saw the obstruction in time 10
stop. The second time the engineer
rau over tie and it caught in the
pony truck aud tore up a
considerable stretch OF track.
Ire engine was not crippled.
The road along there pitches sharp
ly going south, and it is supposed the
miscreants who put distractions on
the'track meant to plumber the south
bound through going freight train,
which was due little ahead Of the
passenger, but this time, luckily, late.
The East Tennessee Railwsy Con-
many had an engineer here from New
York several days, ostensibly investi-
eating the chances for proper termi-
nal arrangement for the line from Tai
ladegs. Outside opinion, however,
is that the Mobile and West Alabama
road, after passing here, will bs car
Iied on 30 as to strike the present
main line considerably above ITALIA
degs.
The Coroner had q tragedy to deal
with this morning, but the police can't
fad the man on whom his jury fixed
the guilt, nor another who is badly
wanted for witness il nothing more.
