An Exciting Scene Follows the Conclusion Of
Mrs. Hoopers Testimony.
LITTLE Rock, May 6.-Yesterday, when
Mrs. Thomas Hooper had finished her
testimony, in which she acknowledged
that she was acquainted with Safer, and
that her former statement was untrue,
Counsel Armstrong arose and said: "There
have been some foul charges made against
the people of Morrillton and OF Conway
County by the mouthpece of Powell Clay
ton. l desire to enter an appeal for the
people of Conway County. | insist that
this committee shall subpoena witnesses
from among the people of Conway County
to refute the charges that have been made
by this Infamous and vile SANDER" No
sooner mad Armstrong uttered these words
than Judge Mcclure sprang from his seat
and struck him in the face. The court
room was packed and everybody was on
his feet. Colonel w. Ii. II. Clayton reached
for his pistol Hold on" cried Powell
Clayton, I'VE don't want any of that"
Friends caught hold of Armstrong, who
was struggling desperately to get at Judge
Mcclure, and after short tusSle led him
out OF the room. Carroll Armstrong, the
Morrlllton lawyer, who precipitated the
scene OF Wild confusion, apologized to the
commonwealth this morning for the Ian
guage used while the inquiry was IN
progress. To-day letter was received by

SAID that he would kill the Marshal as he
had Clayton. No evidence as to the author
OF the letter was presented.

Something Must Be Done to Relieve II

Paterson Of the Supreme Court to-day, ito

now compelled to do"
Justice Paterson said that the Court
Commissioners who were expected to assist
the court in disposing of the enormous vol
ume OF work now imposed upon it enabled
IL TO do more work than could be done
without them, but still they are not entirely
satisfactory in that particular to the extent
that Is necessary. In San Francisco the
courts business is two years behind, and
while through the help of the Commission
ers the court is able to catch up to some ex-
tent, 1t is only slowly. AS the State grows
litigation Increases and the new business is
so great that at the present rate it will take
twenty years to catch up.
The Justice said that lie had never heard
OF better plan than the creation of a Court
OF Appeal wherein certain business, includ-
ing criminal cases and issues involving
amounts under $1,000, could be finally deter
mined. II the original business now re-
quired of the court could be done in some
other tribunal the Justices would have
quite 20 Ter cent more time to devote to i'm
portant interests than at present.-Sacra-

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Over Three Million Dollars Worth Of
Property Swept Away.

NEWARK On. J.), May Last night a
fire broke ont in the extensive works of the
Singer Sewing-machine Company, at Eliza
bethpOrt, and by 1 o'clock this morning
they were lost beyond all hope. The fire
started in the front part of the building,
and from lack of resistance spread to ali
parts of the massive structure.
The Fire Department was unable to cope
with the blaze. The buildings being soaked
with oil and paints burned like tinder.
The buildings occupied thirty-tw0 acres,
and had dock frontage on Newark Bay of
500 feet and there were four miles of rail-
way in the yards. The weekly wage-bill
reached $4,000.
To add to the excitement and danger,
tanks of gycerine and benzine began to ex-
plode, the explosions following one another
rapidly and throwing the flames great dis
tance. From this time on the flames ate
their way steadily through the main fac
tory, which was burned completely down to
the first floor.
The estimated loss is $4,000, 900, which
Is covered by insurance. At 80 o'clock
the fire still covered an immense amount of
ground, having canght several adjoining
buildings.
The company gave the means of liveli-
mood to 1890 people and was able to turn
out 1000 sewing machines daily. The manu-

A decision was rendered yesterday by
Judge Hoffman Of the United States Dis
trict Court in the case of Seamen Anderson,
Brooks and others against the ship Reuce
for damages. The vessel arrived in this
port several months ago, and on an exam
ination being made a number of the crew
were found to be suffering from scurvy, and
were compelled to go to the Marine Hos
pita for treatment.
The Court declared that the captain was
responsible for the condition of his men,
and negligent in not providing lime Juice
and vinegar daily in quantities required by
the statute. Although the captain had fur
nished coffee to the sailors, this action would
not exculpate him nor the ships owners
from damages, as he should have rather
given what the law required.
The matter was referred to Commits
