There was great sensation in commercial circles when it became known that Maj. John D. Adams had made an assign ment for the benefit of his creditors. He is one of the best known business men in the state, and has always been one of the financial pillars of Little Rock. Besides owning and opeSz ating several large cotton plantaticSnf he is also the owner of steamT5oats plying the Mississippi rive.r, the principal one being the favorite Kate Adams. He is also fhe presi' dent of the Pulaski Gas Light Com pany, and a stock holeler in num- Der of the wealthiests corporations in the state.
 The news of yMajor Adams failure will be recsiv d with universal re- gret. He has at all times been among the mosN generous and public spirited citizens, always will. ing to lend assistance in every worthy enterprise. H1s business relations in Arkansas /date back fifty years. By his honesty and enterprising spirit he has gained for himself most enviable reputation throughout the state. He is one of Little Rocks and the whole state of Arkansas' most leading citizens, and was always the leading spirit in movements planned for the benefit of the state. His misfortune is deep- ly regretted by his score of friends.
 The deed of assignment, which was filed at 4:40 pm. Thursday covers Maj. Adams entire real es- tate and all his possessions in the state and out of it. The as- sets are given at ssh0,- 900, while the liabilities are mentioned at $500, ,000. Ex.Mayor Fred. Kramer was appointed re- ceiver, giving bond of S200, 900, with the following sureties: Jno. E. Geyer, T. J. Darraugh, Joseph Nehemier, Nick Kupferle and Geo. H. Stratman.
 U. M. & G. B. Rose are attorneys in the case, and drew up the deed of assignment.
 The cause of the assignment is the stringency of money matters, and the further fact that Major Adams failed to realize an outstanding paper.
 Major Adams feels his misfortune keenly, but his friends know that he will rally and cone again. In making the as- signment he protects his creditors and good name.

STOLE THE SPARKLERS.
Heavy Diamond Robbery b.
Clever Thieves.


NASHVILLE. Tenu., July 3.-One of
the boldest diamond robberies ever COM
mitted in this city was perpetrated this
afternoon at Wagger's jewelry store on
Union street. About 2 o'clock Mr..
Wager and the colored porter were in
the store alone, the two clerks having
gone to diDner. A young man of
medium size, attired in new suit, en-
tered the store and asked to be shown
some silverWare. Mr.. Wager .pro-
ceeded to the rear of the store, where
the silver case is kept, and proceeded to
show his goods to the customer. The.
young man seemed hard to suit
and after pricing several pieces on the
top shelves he finally left without
purchasing anything.E Mr.. Wager
walked to the front of the store and
was startled to find one of the jewelry
trays, in which diamonds are kept in
the showcase, lying under the counter.
Upon examination of the case 1t was
found that the tray in which the best
gems were displayed was empty and
the entire lot, valued at $1,000, were
gone. The tray contained cluster and
solitaire rings and studs ranging In
value from 500 to $500 each.
Mr.. Wagner thinks that while he
was waiting on the young man his. pal
stepped into the store and took tire
jewelry and skipped out. 1t is thought
the robbery was the work of profess
sionals. Detectives were Immediately
put Oh the case.

anticipation of the fact that the jury
were ready with their verdict this morn

with an eager thrOng, who watched the

minutes to o'clock Judge Dubois put
in an appearance, and FIVE minutes
later the familiar sound of the gavel
was heard and Deputy Perkins an
nounced the opening of court. At 9
o'clock the jury filed in and took their

THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
Yard May Refuse TO Answer In
CriminatinC Questions,

eliminating Questions.
PHILADELPHIA, July g. 3.-Presiding
Judge Allison. of the court of common
pleas, this morning handed down de-
cision of the court upholding the au-
thority of city councils to appoint
committee vested with powers to sub
penae witnesses and place them under
oath before receiving their testimony.
The decision of the court arose through
suit in equity brought against Henry
81. Yard, who refused to be sworn or to,
testify before the Keystone bank in
vestigating committee. The refusal of
Yard to be sworn and the subsequeIlt
entering of suit by the city solicitor to
compel him to submit to being sworn
raised very delicate question of con-
Stitutional law. Yard has been indicted
by the grand jury for criminal con-
spiracy with eX-City Treasurer Bards
ley to unlawfully use the public funds
The contention of Yards counsel in
their arguments before the court of
common pleas, was that the city coun-
ellis had no authority to appoint a COM
mittee vested with power to compel
citizens to appear before them and to
testify under oath, and that in addition.
under the constitution of the United
States, every man is guaranteed the.
right to refuse to answer Questions be-
fore tribunal of justice that will tend
to criminate himself, The opinion OF
the court, in addition to Affirming the
right of councils to appoint the com
mittee, was that Yard must appear
before that committee and submit him
self to being sworn, but that under the
bill Of rights he could refuse to answer
