ARKANSAS TERRORS,
A Mob Assaults a Pair of Union Labor
Politicians.

ST. LOUIS, August 31.-A special from
Little Rock, Ark, says: A mob OF $500
men, some mounted and some on foot,
yesterday surrounded Morrilltown sta
ton. A Union Labor mass meeting was
to be held there. On the incoming train
from Little Rock, among others, was j.
R. Mclaughlin, a well known Union
Labor advocate, and George Small, of
Springfield, Conway county, prominent
white Republican, who had been
here for the purpose of getting
Union Labor tickets for use in
Conway county for the election to-
morrow. Small carried the tickets,
1000 in all, in valise. When the train
stopped, crowd of men sprang forward
and poured into it where Mclaughlin
and Small were seated, brutally assault
ed them, captured the tickets and then
went out. All the business houses were
closed, and women and boys were out
taking part in the general excitement.
Mclaughlin came in tonight and his
description of affairs has created great ex-
citement. Tickets are being sent to re-
place those stolen.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 31.-Tommy
Danforth, of Streator, Illinois, and
Reddy Brennan, of Memphis, fought a
finish fight today with two ounce gloves,
for $780, at Mound City, Arkansas.
The men entered the ring weighing 128
pounds. Brennan looked like race
horse, not having an ounce of super
fiuous flesh, while Danforth looked
heavy and fat and it was evident he
lacked training. Eight rounds were
fought, and although Danforth seemed
the most scientific, yet Brennan secured
the first knock-down, in the first round,
and first blood in the second. The
Memphis man fought closely and on
the defensive up to the last round,
evidently saving himself and trying to
wind his opponent, and receiving severe
punishment from Danforth's heavy
right, which he took quietly and with
great endurance. In the eighth aud final
round, Reddy made rush for Danforth,
dealing him a terrible right-hand upper,
over the left eye, following it up by a
heavy blow on the neck, which laid the
StreatOr man out.

machinery and railroad equipments and
supplies, including railroad iron. Brazil
would also, he said, make reduction of
at least 25 per cent. in the duty on cot
