PINE BLUFF, ARK.
Heavy Lumber DenIer Killed by
Railroad Train.
ESPECIAL TO THR APPEAL. I


PINE BLUFF, ARK, February g.
Yesterday evening, at o'clock, the
passenger west bound train OF the
Valley route, five miles above town,
ran over the body of A. B. Ross, sew
ering his right arm end inflictiDg a
wound on the head from the effec's OF
which death is expected at any mo-
ment. The unfortunate man WAS
drinking and few moments before
the accident was seen talking to two
strangers, in a quarTelsome way. He
had $40 on his person when he left a
store on the road. Whether he was
robbed and f0ully dealt with and
thrown on the track, or, in sleep
caused by liquor, lay on the track and
thus met his fate, are questions TO be
investigated. When he was discov-
cred only 10 cents was found in his
pockets. The train that passed over
him did not take up his body. The
easterr-oound freight, two hours
later, took charge of him and carried
him to Dexter station. Ross was a
heavy lumber dealer.
Last night Carroll Davis, n reputable

was inhamed by the speeches deliv-
cred on the Carleton Clubs steps. The
mob was split up into many di-
visions by being forced down the diff
ferent streets by the pressure from
Trafalgar Square to get nearer the oC-
currences at the club-hou,es, and the
various divisions started off hooting,
bowling and challenaing the authoSi-
ties. The invaded streets were at
once abandoned to the rioters, who,
finding themselves no longer opposed,
vented their Ill will against WELL
housed people and sgains, the clubs
by ttoning the dwellings and club.
houses along the way.
At the time OF closing these dis
patches all that part Of the city in the
neighborhood OF the National Gallery,

fights have already taken place among
the rioters and
FURIOUS MOE
is now q O'Clock pm marching
through st. James street aud PicCa-
dilly on its way to Hyde Park to hold
a meeting. The mob is cursing the
authorities, attacking shops, sacking
saloons, getting drunk and smashing
windows. On its way to Hyde Park
the front OF the NIB made an effort to
enter the War Office but turned awsy
when the sentinel at the entrance
confronted the intrudars with his bav-
onet. Conspicuous among the build
ings attacked by the mob was that oc.
supied by the Devonshire Club and
that occupied as a residence by Mr..
Arnold Morley, the newly appointed
Patronage Secretary. The police
along the route to Hyde Park were
brushed out Of the way by the rioters
as go many men OF staw, and many
of the officers were terribly whipped
fJr their interference.
NUMEROUS oUTRAaEs.
The mob continued its work Of de-
struction until late hour. Hundreds
of shops wers sacked and many pri-
vste houses were pillaged. The police
were powerlesH, and the mob held full
sway until they dispersed OF thei- own
accord. The mob was thoroughly En-
glish. 1t made frightful demonstrations,
was not resisted, and went to bed al
the usual time. According t. later
estimst % $1,000 persons engaged in
the Trafalgar Square demonstration.
Two-thirds OF the crowd were bona
fide unemployed workingmen. The
remaider were Socialists. AT midnight
quiet prevailed throughout the city.

Of said CON, and to issue to their cor
respondents at New 0deans receipts
fof the silver, subject q, count, and to
issue silver certificates after the count
of said dollars go deposited had been
made, and whether said custom, il 1t
had prevailed, had been changed by
obstruction Of the Treasurer of the
United States and the reasons therefor !;
q so, whether such custom was now in
force at any other Sub Treasury; also,
whether there was adequate clerical
force at the New Orleans Sub T-ess-
ury, and, if not, why assistance was
necessary there to enable the Sub
Treasurer to carry out the law. The
New Orleans Sub Treasury, Mr. Eustis
faid, had refused to receive ship
ment of $4,000 of silver from the
Memphis, Tenn, Bank of Commerce
and tho Waco Safe Bank OF Waco,
Tex. II that statement should
be substantiated, Mr.. Eustis
continued, and If it should be proved
that custom OF receiving silver had
prevailed at New Orleans, and il was
not violative of law, and that it now
prevailed in New York aad other
places, then, Mr.. Eustis said, the Off.
cisl who had approved Of the change
OF custom in the city OF New Or
leans exposed himself TO very grave
suspicious, to say the least of it, with
reference to secret warfare against
the silver dollar. Mr.. Eustis would
make no charge in the absence Of
proof, but he wanted t) get at the
facts.
Shoit remarks were made by Sena.

Evidence Accumulate z Against the
Arnold Murderers.


NASHVILLE, TENN, February s.
Two officers went to the house Of Ben
Blown, the ringleader in Arnold's
murder, aud found the ak with which
the body was chopped. The handle
had been tied to conceal the blood
s'ain and blood was on the blade. In
the stable were found two planks on
which the body was laid when it
was cut up. The planks were
dentsd by an ak. In the loft on the
rsflers were other blood stains. A
pair of bloody pants were found in a
fence corner back of the stable. The
ak was identified by Bill Brown as the
one with which the chopping was
done. The murderers have not been

ESTIMATING FOR PROFIT.

From the principle of conducting bus
iress upon the wrong estimate of cost We

the il-laid plans Of hundreds Of would-be
managers. So much for typo--so much

TEN. Rush in subscribers Flow in ad-
vertisers Where's the leak? We
don't come out even. Look at the many
unconsidered triaes that are eating up the
life Of the concern, and for which no
thought nor provision was made at the
outset. They are all little leaks.
n proper estimate for job printing
may be arrived at as follows: To the
items Of paper, composition, prool-reading
press-work, ETC., add for rent and cx-
pcnses and interest on your investment
in type, presses, etc, on each job you do,
twenty per cent. This will give you
about the dead cost. Now, if you want
a profit, add one-third to the total and
IN some cases one-half In pursuing
such course the printer will receive o
fair remuneration, but no more than to
what he is entitled. Upon such basis
he will find himself able to give adequate
support to his employees, replcnish worn
out machinery and type, meet his taxes,
pay for repairs, insurance, ink, rent, light
fuel, accidents, spoiled paper, bad debts,
and other expcnses.-1ypogaphical
