In the Pen.

Bill Lemons and Mark Arnett, two
Of the captured train robbors, have
been moved from the county Jail at
Batesvile to the state penitentiary at
Little Rock for safe keeping. They
were transferred under guard Of Sher-
iff Hobgood Of Jackson county and
Capt. Weigle of Little Rock.
The removal of the criminals from
the Batesville jail was done by order
of Gov. Fishback at the suggestion of
Sheriff Patterson of Woodruff county,
who captured them on top Of noun
tain near the Wackerly house last Sat-
urday afternoon. The evidence against
the men is very conclusive and the Of
ficers, to prevent any attempt at mob
violence, thought 1t best to remove
them to the penitentiary.
The prisoners, handcufled and in
chains, were taken from the jail at 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon and car
ried on the first train to Little Rock.
The officers refused to disclose the
identity of the prisoners to the curious
passengers and nobody knew who
they were.
Lemons and Arnett made the trip
quietly, making no attempt TO stir
from the scat. Lemons talked some,
but Arnett was as dumb as an oyster.

It has given satisfaction to millions and

pate Extreme Measures.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Unless he
met with delay United States Minis
ter Willis has now been in Honolulu a
week. 1t is not improbable that he
carried into effect the instructions he
took with him, which have been SO
well kept secret this side of the Pacific.
If he has done so the steamer which
left Honolulu yesterday will bring
news Of the consequent events and il
will reach and outlet to the rest of The
world next Saturday.
Whatever recourse the admnistra-
ton may have determined upon to
secure the restoration of Lilioukalani
it is very evident that Secretary
Gresham does not expect extreme
measures will have to be resorted to.
The course proposed to bo pursued
seems to be to request the present
government in the name of the United
States to give way quietly to the res
toration of the queen. Hawaiians in
this city are very firm in their convic-
ton that the government will refuse
to yield to any such gentle persuasion
as that. They assert their earnest be-
lief that it will require at least a show
of fight to induce them to resign their
authority. But this opinion is not
unanimous amoung those familiar
with affairs on the island. 1t ispoint-
ed out how long and severe strain
there has been on the members of the
provisional government in the uncer-
tainty that beset their position The
manner and purpose Of their creation,
it is pointed out, shows how depend
ent they feel upon the United States.
The absolute disapproyal of them by
this government will be announced
by Minister Willis Whatever out
cry Of public sentiment there is here
in sympathy with them and against
their disposition, they will be absolute
ly cut off from. All they have is vi
tally dependent upon good order and
the maintainace Of law in the country.
Any sort of assurance from Minister
Willis that the moral influence of the
United States government would be
exerted to maintain stable govern
ment by the queen and restain it
from such vagaries and exoesses as
that of the constitution she sought to
have adopted in January last, might
tempt the members Of the provisional
government to step aside and trust to
the United States their interests in its
own way. This is what Cleveland
and Gresham hope for, though what
assurance they have authorized the
minister to give as to future influence
by this government in the islands is
not known.

election of Mr.. l.. f. Day, formerly a

MIR. Day was fnanlly determined up

the association, on Saturday last. The
chairman, elect, is familiar figure in
railway circles both Of Arkansas and
Texas. About eight years ago he was
assistant general freight agent Of the
Cotton Belt, and was promoted to the
position of general freight agent of
the Texas line with headquarters at
Tyler. After n brief term of that
Office he was made general freight
agent of the Cotton Belt system, with
headquarters at st. Louis, then he
went with the Louisville, New Or

Tariff Reform.

1t seems that the work of tariff re-
form IS making but slow progress,
because of wrangling among promi-
nent members of the Democratic

Gently, that the Democratic party was
united on the proposition of putting
coal, wool, iron ore, salt and lumber
on the free list, but the latest develop
ments indicate that this is not the
case. Mr.. Culberson and other Tex
as members, already sounded their op-
position to free wool and they VIII
likely receive substantial encourage
ment from the Ohio members and
representatives of the grazing states
of the west. Several Alabama repre-
sentatives are protesting against the
proposition to place iron ore and coal
on the free list. The extensive lum.
Der states, both of the south and west,
are almost unit in opposing free
lumber. The Michigan members op-
pose free salt. Altogether the lot Of
Wilson and his colleagues of the COM
mittee is not happy one.

HOW HE DIED.
Miller Davis Makes Full Confession
of His Murderous Crime.

The simple account of the hanging
of Miller Davis, the condemned muir
der of Callie Dollarhide, on Friday of
last week, at the little town OF Centre
Point, was duly chronicled by the pa
pers of the state, the DEMOCRAT in
cluded, and the disagreeable subject
was supposed to have been finally
disposed Of But later telegraphic re-
ports give the story of confession and
Davis behavior on the gallows in such
a manner as to warrant, if not de-
mand, its reproduction. Owing to
the distance of the place of execution
from railway and telegraphic lines,
the real incidents of the execution
have only just been made public,
The scene at the gallows is described
in the following manner:
"Rev. Mr.. Scruggs, local minister,
who had been with Davis great deal
since his final conviction, remained
with the doomed man on the place of
death, administering to him such spir-
itual comfort as the circumstances
would permit
"In response to several direct ques-
tions as to his guilt and the circum-
stances, the condemned man, after a
perceptible hesitation, replied that he
fired the fatal shot that killed Dollar
hide. He stated that e. B. and Alex
ander Hannah were the only persons
present at the killing except himself,
He also stated that Dollarhide, previ-
Gus to the killing. had been given
poison by one Ed. Thornton, the poi
son having been mixed in the whiskey
or wine that was used 20 intoxicate
him. Davis said he saw Thornton
mix it.
"Just after he was placed in front
of the drop he said, "be sure to get it
right, as | don't want to hang here
long" After Sheriff Haller read him
the death warrant and was fixing the
black cap, he said: Take it up lit
tle." Also: Il hope will meet you
all in heaven; live good lives and do
right. Mr.. Grady, do you say you
will take me to your house tonightY
Mr.. Grady replied that he would
and Davis said 'all right
He was told by Sheriff Haller to
step out on the platform on the mid
die plank. Davis repeated "middle
plank" and stepped out, saying good
bye to Mr.. Grady, Mr.. Reeder and
Sheriff Haller, shaking hands with
each of them with his hands tied be-
hind him.
Sheriff Haller pulled the lever at
1897 p. m. Davis fell six feet, break
ing his neck and dying almost instant
ly; not muscle moved, and the body
remained perfectly motionless until
DR.. Whitmore pronounced him dead
at 1853.
The body was cut down, placed in
a coffin and taken back to Davis home
for interment. Everything was done
in quiet manner. Sheriff Haller was
very exact in having everything ar
ranged SO as to prevent the possibility
of an accident There was no inter-
ference at all and after the hanging
all the people dispersed in short
while,"

will be observed that Mr.. Day comes
through varied experience in the

regarded as harbinger of peace to

AS far as can be learned his election
is satisfactory to Texas lines, and not
