A special from Little Rock dated
November rs states that Maj. VIM.
X. Woodruff, our detaulting State

trial in the Pulaski Criminal Court,
charged with felony. This fact
is settled beyond dispute. The

sented $4,000, State scrip, at the

from his office pending an exami-

Special Master in Chancery
Sims in submitting his report to
Chancellor Carroll dealt at great
length upon this identical scrip.
lie said it was really the property
OF the State ot Arkansas, and from
all the evidence taken before the
master he was clearly of the opin-
ion that Maj. Woodruff was respon-
slole for it disappearance.
"Being found short" said the
master, "and being reduced to an
extremity in his affairs that was
almost pitiable and being under
Indictment in the courts for felony,
we found that he was driven to
the mission of almost any crime
to cover up his delinquencies."
This prosecution will have no
connection whatever with the first.
He was tried for mbezzlement.
This time the charge viii! be grand

DENIED BY LOVEJOY.
Says the Carnegies Do Not Contemplate
 Wholesala Discharges.

PrTrsBURe, Dec. 22.-The following de spatch has created great sensation here, and despite the denial of Secretary Love joy, of the Carnegie company, that there Is any truth in the report, the majority of those interviewed on the subject, es. pecially union men, say they believe such is the case.
 One prominent labor man says he has positive information from an inside source that such a course has been adopted by the company.
 Secretary Lovejoy, however, emphatic ally denies the statement, and says his company does not, and never has, contem- plated any such move.
 HOMESTEAD, Pa, Dec 22.-Sensation was precipitated here when 1t was re- ported that on Jan. l, the service of the men who were employed in theamill during the strike will be dispensed with Whether there is any foundation or not for the re- port can not be ascertained. It is SC widely circulated and so much credence is given to it, that it appears to be founded on some good authority.
 The statement originated from the mill men themselves. They stated that a notice had been posted in the plant, read ing:
 "The services of the workmen who were employed in the Carnegie Company's g works during the time of the strike will not be required after Jan. 1, 1893."
 At the mill the officials will not either confirm or deny the report, and no amount of questioning or pressing induces any of the officials who were seen to commit themselves in the slightest degree.
 A number of the non-union men who were seen, however, as they were coming from the restaurant, said that such no- tices were posted and that the men were making preparations to leave.
 One of the men said that quite num- Der of the employees, while preparing to quit, believed that they would be re-em- ployed, as they looked upon the matter as an attempt on the part of the company to conciliate the old men and restore them to their former positions; they thought that the non-union men would be given 8 fair trial in the general scramble for places which, it is reported, will occur at the first of the year.
 At the office of the Carnegies 1t Is said that while the company will employ none but competent men, wholesale discharges are not expected. No official denial oi the report, however, can be obtained.
 A new scale will probably go into eff. feet on Jan. 1, and if such 8 notice was posted, it is believed that 1t was done fo1 the purpose of giving the old men an op- portunity to apply for work under the new agreement

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Two Sisters Drowned in Walkers Pond,
 Burnside.

Two Sisters Drowned in Walkers Pond,
 Burnside.
 It was about 3 o'clock yesterday after. noon when Julia and Flossie Hayes left their home near Walkers pond, Burn side, across from the old North paper min. They took their sleds with them for an afternoons fun on such snow and ice as they could find. Half an hour later their father saw their sleds and little hats floating amid bits of broken ice, near the edge of the pond close to the dam. A moment later he had brought the dead bodies of his children to the riverside, and 8 heart. broken mother heard why the little girls had been missing from the yard so long. No one saw the accident, but some skaters farther up the pond said that they had seen the girls sitting on their sleds on the ice near the bank oi the pond. When they first left the house they slid down the bank to the edge of the pond some distance above the dam. Then they must have worked down the beach and, when within a rod or two of the dam, started out on the narrow paargin of thin ice that went out only few feet, the swift current just bove the dam preventing freezing They had pushed out on their sleds perhaps five or six feet, when of sud- den the thin shell broke and they were lost in the cold deep water. The children were eight and five years old respectively.

Federal Authorities Deny That Mexican

 SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 22.-Federal authorities at San Ignacio deny that Mex ican soldiers were held there as prisoners.
 The soldiers crossed over from Mexico at the time of the fight opposite San Ig- nacio and have remained on this side of the river of their own free will.
 LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 22.-Sympathizers with the movement in this city say that there will be an engagement between the Mexican troops and revolutionists before next Saturday night, or Sunday at the latest.
 Developments are anxiously awaited and the fact that the United States Gov ernment has ordered the 7th Cavalry to this frontier would seem to indicate that the movement against Mexico is feared more than the Garza revolution of year ago.
