 ment the Last Shot Was Fired and Arrests the Man Who
 Fired 1t.
 Governor Eagle came in on the 1;30 O o'clock train from Memphis, having at tended the great bridge celehratian. The only convevarsee r.--sSs Sivpot was a street car. g:i,a. Governor and Mrs. Eagle, Capt. NJ. G. Hall and J. L. Teague were pas sengers for up town. At the depot some one whispered to Governor Eagle that negro had been lynched in the city for assaulting white girl. This was the first intimation that Governn= Eagle had of any disturbance in the city.
 When the car reached the corner of Markham and Main, Robert w. Leigh, of The Morrilton Headlight, got on and said to Governor Eagle, 'They are lynching that negro now on the corner of Fifth and Main" Governor Eagle instructed the driver of the ear to make all possible speed, and in few moments the party came in sight of the mob. As the governor sprang of the car he heard the firing of guns and saw the immense crowd surging to and fro in the streets. He felt at once that he could do nothing less than to make an effort to stop the mob, if it hadn' | gone too far, and if it had, to endeavor to secure the arrest of some of the leaders engaged in the lynching. He hurried through the crowd to the spot where the firing was going on. Looking up he saw the negro swinging in the air, and inn mediately realized that the mob had ac- complished it's design. A man near by raised his gun and fired at the dangling form. He then gave the gun to another man who was on the point of firing when Governor Eagle laid his hand on his shoulder and forbade it in the name of the law. The chief exeeu- tive then turned to the man whom he had seen fire and arrested him. The governor took the man by the lappel of the coat and pulled him through the crowd. He had almost reached the outskirts of the mob when the man commenced appealing to the mob to release him. The crowd then began to surge, and a body of men rushed upon the governor and his prisoner. Some of the mob grasped the prisoner and others began tugging at Governor Eagle. Finally a rush was made and Governor Eagle was 1 thrown to the ground, the man whom he had arrested being released. As the gov ernor arose he struck the man who had thrown himself against him sting | ing blow. There was a good deal of loud talking and threats made by the mob. Governor Eagle was still struggling in the crowd when Mayor King White of Pine Bluff forced his way through the crowd and | placed himself alongside of the Governor. John L. Teague of the state treasurer s office and other friends also came up about this time and no further trouble was ex- | perienced. Governor Eagle then returned l to Mrs. Eagle and the two drove home in carriage.
 ~. Tr his duty as faithful executive in attempt | ing to suppress the mob. When he ascer- tained that it was too late he could do nothing else, being already on the ground, but attempt to secure the arrest of some of 1 the perpetrators.

SUICIDE, ACCIDENT OR FOUL
 PLAY?
Mrs. D. J. Montgomery Found Burned to
 Crisp.

PRESCOTT, ARK, May 13.- Yesterday at II o'clock am. Mrs. D. J. Montgomery was found alone in her kitchen burned almost to a crisp. She died few minutes later.
 An oil can on table and match by it made it appear that she was starting to make fire, but there was no oil in the can nor was she near the stove or fire place.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-It Is as certair
as anything In the future can be that til,
receipts Of the government for the first ifs
cal year under Cleveland-July /, 1893, tC
June 80, 1s94, will fall far short of III
absolutely necessary expenditures, unless
Mr.. Cleveland calls an extra session and
that extra session shall provide for new
revenue in some way and Republican ex.
traVigance" will not be the cause either
The deficit will be caused by the natural
falling of IN import duties, the source
from which the greater part Of our reven-
ne comes. Importers will not pay the
present tariff, when by waiting until the
democratic have agreed upon some kind Of
a hodgs-pcaee Of q tariff II may be q gresi

materials upon which there are duties will
only import enough for their Immediate
