JUDGE MooN of Chattanooga, Tenn, is severe upon railroad men. In his charge to the circuit court grand jury Monday he used the following lan- guage: II wish to cali your attention to the large number of people who are crippled and killed every month by railroads. This state of afatrs is usually due to the carelessness of rail road engineers and trainmen, who fail to observe the law. No attention has heretofore been paid to this mat ter by any grand jury. The railroad employees who kill people in this way gre guilty of murder. and they should be summoned before the juries of this country and tired for murder, or put into the penitentiary as the offense de- serves" It probably never occurred to Judge Moon that in case of accident the trainmen were in as great danger of death or injury as the passengers. Tn fact, owing to the exposed positions occupied by the trainmen in perform ance of t,ieir duties in handling q train, their chances of escape are not so good as those of the passengers. Would the worthy judge think of con- victing man for the death of persons occupying his house if that house was destroyed by 2 cycloneY Tho cases are about parallel.

From Special to the Arkansas Gazette. PINE BLUFF, January 4.-The little town of Linwood, eighteen miles from
 this city, has been infested for some time by gaug of dosperadoes, who have given the inhabitants considera- b!e trouble, but not until yesterday morning was outside interference deemed necessary. A telegram was
 sent to this city asking for aid, and 1t was immediately responded to by Gen. H. King White chartering a tr ain and organizing posse. who went down
 there. Upon arriving there it was found that the gang had, the night previous, burned the cotton gin of Dr.
 J. k. Bryant and the depot of the Val ley road and committed other depre- dations, such as firing into the house of MT. Moore. a son-in-law of Dr. Bry-
 ant, and Dr. Thompson. On New Years eve they burned tbe store and
 goods of Dr. Bryant, valued at S6000; insured for s37OO. A few weeks ago they robbed the express offlce of $500
 and ran the agentloff.
 Forty bales of cotton had been stolen from the depot at various times. A few nights since they stole barrel of
 whiskey from the depot and secreted it iii the woods, and they have been
 crazy with drink ever since. Gen.
 White and his crowd captured eight of them at once-siX negroes and two white men.
 Another special train with sixty
 men armed with Winchesters was sent
 down last night and they returned at
 o'clock tkis morning with five more,
 without any trouble.
 Three more were brought up this afternoon, making sixteen in all. There are five or six of the most des-
 perate still at large.
 The names of those captured are:
 U. A. Connors and Mir. Puryear, white;
 R. Williams. Ed Smith, E. B. Thom- as, Henry Cook, James Tyner, Ben
 Howard, Pelo Owens, Jack Edings,
 Percy Nichols, John Connolly. Jake
 Nichols, Rich Smith, Joe Williams,
 colored.
 The total loss of property amounts
 to SIP 600 with S5000 insurance. Vari-
 ous and conflicting rumors are afioat as
 to the cause of the riot. Some say Dr. Bryant's brother killed negro named Nichols some years ago. Others say the trouble originated some time ago
 when Jim Moore, son-in-law of Dryant, knocked q negro down because he re- fused to pay for a quart of whiskey he
 had sold him. There was some talk of lynching last night and tho jail was heavily guarded, but everything is quiet | tonight.

IN another column we reproduce from Blackburn's Free South an article under the caption of Mean Religion Worse Than Mean Politics" We think our venerable friend of the Free South is rather severe in his strictures upon the White River conference. The action of the conference, as we understand it, was not in the nature of persecution of Mir. Fizer, but rather precautionary step to sound d warning to the young men who may
 hereafter enter the Methodist minis try. When man surrenders himself to do the work of the church ana or God the conference expects him to cut himself loose from secular pursuits
 and devote his whole time aud talents

GOVERNOR BOYD, the deu,ocrat

GOVERNOR BOYD, the democratic governor-elect of Nebraska. who has been kept out of his seat for more than year by the republican supreme Court of that state, has been accorded his rights by the United States supreme court and vii enter upon the discharge of his duties. Thayer's occupancy of the gubernatorial chair of Nebraska n defiance of the expressed will of the people was the most fragrant case of ofiice-stealing in the history of the country and shows to what desperate lengths the republicans will go to keep democrats out of office.

10 the work assigned him. In no other
 way can he serve the church accepta- bly,. This is clearly demonstrated and amply exemplified in the Catholic priesthood. "Once a priest always a priest" is the answering, relentless rule of that church, and it expects him to go even farther than the Methodist church, for he must not only not form new family ties, but sever the old ones, making the church his father, mother. sister, brother, wife. To this utter self-surrender to the church may in a very great measure be attributed the wondrous success of the Catholic faith and phenomenal work accomplished by the church. Our Methodist friends simply forbid one of their ministers from giving the work a half-hearted support by engaging in secular en- ployment. The case of Mir Fizer af- forced an opportunity for the empha- sizing of this principle. and the conference took advantage of it. When a man elects to preach the word of God he should eschew politics. If he desires to engage in politics he should sever his connection with the ministry. There is no halfway ground, for the two will not mix. Mir. Fizer is no worse than other men in high places in Arkansas today. Perhaps he is not so bad, but neither he nor any other man can serve as a faithful minister of the gospel and at the same time dab ble in politics. This fact was recog- nized by the White River conference, hence its refusal to allow Mir. Fizer all appointment.

a PRACTICAL JOK s.

Which Was Played On an En-
glishman.
The English are noted for their psactical
jokes OF rather heavy quality, and the
following auecdote, which is vouched for
playful little ways. Two young men in a
railway carriage noticed that An old gen.
tlemau, who was their only companion in
the compartment, had fallen fast asleep,
and that his ticket had tumbled on the
floor In front Of him. To pick it up and
put il in his own pocket was the immediate
impulse of his lively nsighbor, and shortly
afterward the old gentleman woke up and
began TO tumble around for the missing bit
Of pasteboerd. Not finding it, he showed
signs OF great nervousness. and taking out
his pocket book counted over some loose sill
yer with still greater DISTRESS finally
he addressed his companions Gem

most grateful, and would make it right the

spirators promptly. 'but we do not stop in

completed their arrangements Just in time

THE BLACK DOG.
a Night OF Spectral Terror.
From The Ne'O York Tribune.

From the Net0 York Tribune
There was a ceaseless rumble In the air as
the heavy raindrops battered upon the
laurel thickets and the N atted moss and
haggard rocks beneath. Four water
soaked men made their difficulv ways
through the drenched forest The little
man stopped and shook an angry finger at
where night was stealthily following them.
Cursed be fate and her children and her
childrens childreal We are everlastingly
lostp he cried. The painting procession
halted under some dripping, dropping hem
locks and swore in wrathful establishment

We shall never find our way out Of this
wilderness until l am made into Q por-
ridge"
In desperation, they started again 20
drag their listless bodies through the watery
bushes. After q time the clouds withdrew
from above them and great winds came
from concealment and went sweeping and
swtrhng among the trees. Night also came
very near and menaced the wanderers with
darkness. The little man had determination
in his legs. He scrambled among the
thickets and made desperate attempts to
find a path or road. As ne climbed q hill
lock, be espied q small clearing upon which
sat desolauOn and venerable house, wept
over by wind waved pines.
"Ho, y be cried, "here's a house"
His companions straggled painfully after
him as he fought the thickets between him
and tue cabin. AT their approach, the wind
trenziedly opposing them, and skirled madly
IN the trees. The little man boldly con-
rronted the weird glances from the crannies
OF the cabin and raped on the door. A
score OF timbers answered with groans and
within, something fell to the door with a
clang
