FORREST CITY MURDERS.
Another Victim Added to the
List of Slain.
NEELY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
The Discovery Afterwards Made That
He Was Innocent of the
Crime Charged.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 19.-Advices
from Forrest City state that A. nj. Neely,.
the negro whose quarrel resulted in yes
terday's riot, in which three men were
killed, was killed early this morning.
Neely, his brother and father, took refuge
in the Advocate Building. Every effort
was made to get at Neely, but they
proved unsuccessful, as the negroes were
we'll barricaded. This morning Acting
Sheriff lizard persuaded old man Nicely
and his other son to come out, promising
them safe conduct to the jail and fair
trial. A. M. Neely did not appear. The
Sheriff's posse was not more than hun
dred yards distant with the two prison
ers when number of other members of
the posse raided the Advocate Building,
Neely was discovered secreted under
the floor and was riddled. This
last killing created great deal
more excitement, and the people were
afraid of a raid on the town by the negroes.
The Sheriff wrote Governor Eagle and
asked that the militia be ordered there.
| Governor Eagle thought be could be bet
ter able to Judge of what was needed by
being on t! ground, so he took the first
train to Forrest City and is now there,
and will remain until quiet is restored.
The cause of all the trouble was a de-
termined attempt of the negroes to elect
two of their race to membership in the
School Board in place of two white men.
The white men claimed that the negroes
had already sufficient representa-
ton, and charged that they were
trying to obtain control of the board
in order to manage the schools
to suit themselves. Nicely WAS promi-
nent Republican. He was member OF
the State Central Committee and of the
Executive Committee, and had secured
the recommendation of that body for his
appointment as register of the land office
here.
1t has been learned to-day that the
bullet which killed Sheriff Wilson was
not fred by Nicely, as was at first sup
posed, but was one of the shots fir ed by
Marshal Folbree, as he was falling after
being fatally wounded by Tom Parham.

THE SUNDAY CLOSING LAW.
The Mayor and tne Law and Order
League at Outs.

League at Outs.
CINCINNATI, May 19,-The situation
among the saloons was peculiar to-day.
The Mayor yesterday wrote long letter
to the attorney OF the Law and Order
League bitterly complaining of its course
in urging the dismissal of the seven
hundred cases pending last year. His
decided opposition to the policy of the
League gave color to the accusation that
he was also opposed to it's object, the en-
forcement of the law, but ne had also
given an order to the police that, if re-
quested to do go by any re-
sponeible citizen, they should ar
rest the violatcrs of the law, taking
care that the citizens asking for the ar
rest make the charge and agree to appear
tomorrow in court. Thus the day opened
with no certain policy TO be depended
on. Probably more than half the saloons
in the city did not open their doors DUR
ing the day. About O'Clock in the even
ing, by order of the attorney of the Law
and Order League, five saloons in the
central part of the city were entered by
the police and their proprietors were ar
rested. These will furnish sufficient
number of test cases to show what can
be done by the police court in securing
convictions.

If SAN DIEGO has secured the service
of the P. and o. Steamship Company
between that city and China and Japan,
she is to be heartily congratulated on
the great achievement. 1t illustrates
what pluck and confidence will do. San
Pedro is hundred miles nearer the
Atlantic than San Diego. But of what
avail are natural advantages of the most
pronounced sort, when handicapped by
q supineness that does nothing? Is it
not time for us to choke off the chronic
croakers in the community, who never
could &c tde advantages of this section,
and all get our eyes open to what we
might do? Soil, climate, and all natural
advantages are all well enough. But with.
out cultivation rich soil only grows
more weeds than a poor one. A fine
climate will not induce immigration
unless it's attractions are duly made
known. And a harbor is valuable only
as ships come and go at it's wharves
Furthermore, talk is not even "silvern,'
as com pared with the precious value ol
manful deeds. We must not allow our
selves to adopt in practice the motto o
Washington Territory, which is Alki
and means, in fres translation, "There'f
a good time coming. boys, wait little
longer" The time for waiting is long
past, and now is the time to do some
thing.

The public will expect great deal OF
genuine work from the Council from this
time forth. That body will have no ex-
cuse for p7ociastination in inaugurating
the feveral great public works which the
people have elected them to carry out,
and which they engaged to perform as
condition to their election. They are
now on solid ground. The Charter
is placed out of the realm OF
dubiety. They can go ahead with a
certainty that they are acting under
powers which are theirs beyond the
peradventure OF legal doubt. And ii
they fail to come up to expectation and
premise, they will have no excuse that
will pass current to fall back upon.
Come, gentlemen, let the people who
have placed confidence in you, see that
there is something IN you besides
''leather and prunella."

WHEN the Senators were here the
other day Allison, Of Iowa, said to one OF
our people: "How long is it since your
great boom collapsed?" The reply was
in substance this: SIT is little over a
year ago since the real e,t2te market
ceased to be as active as it had been, and
it has been quiet ever since. But We do
not plead guilty to the impeachment inn
pied in the word collapse" The Iowa
statesman said: "Only year ago! Yet
1 see all this improvement going on.
Your city seems to be going forward
very satisfactorily. Business seems to be
in a very excellent shape. Your people
appear to be prosperous. You are right.
You did not suffer collapse; and
/ do not think there ever was another
place which could have gone through SO
trying an ordeal and come out so we'll.
Such an excitement as you went through
would have bankrupted any other place. "
The meaning of this, which is the simple
truth, is at the resources of this section
are phenomenally rich, and will not
Weld to adverse influence however
severe the strain. Such vitality is
irrspressible.

Results of the Local League
Games-Ass0cfati0n Games East.
SAN Francisco, May 19.-In the game
to-day at Haight street, between the
Oaklands and Stocktons, the latter club
was badly worsted, owing, perhaps,
largely to the lack of harmony.
Baker, the Stocktons' pitcher, and
Whitehead almost came to blows
over discussion relative to ball which
Whitehead, on third base, threw to
Baker. The latter either did not see the
ball or saw it too late to make
the catch, and the Oaklands made
one run. An error assisted them
in recording another. When the Stock
tons left the field for their inning, Baker
attacked Whitehead. The trouble, how
ever, ended in words. O'Neil was the only
man who made three base bits. Cough
Ian and Daley were the battery for the
Oaklands and Baker and De Phanger for
the visiting team. Coughlan pitched
an even, steady game. Baker
was somewhat unsteady, and several
men went to first on balls, although he
struck out five of his opponents while
Coughlan struck out but three.
SAN FRANCISCO, May l9.-Oaklands 10,
Stockton 4.
SACRAMENTO, May 19.-The Sacramen.
tos to-day defeated the San Franciscos
with little effort. Concannon pitched the
first three innings for the visiting nine,
and was hatted freely. In the second
inning he threw his arm, and his pitch
ing days are doubtless over. Farrell
went into the box the fourth
inning, aud pitched well, but he could
not turn the tide of defeat, the
Sacramentos having made four runs.
Burke pitched a magnificent game for
the Sacramentos, and had great sup
port from the entire nine. O'Day,
McSorley, Krehmeyer and Roxburg
especially distinguished themselves. The
San Franchises were not up to their
usual fielding form. Shea made ter
rife drive to left field in the eighth iu-
ming, making clean home run. Sweet
caught splendid game. The home
club out-played their opponents, how
ever, and won by score of 7 to A. Man
ager Harris stated this evening that he
had signed Romo Barry, of this city, to
