Talk of opposition to Speaker Crisp con-
tinues. The Baltimore SINS well-iniormed
Washington correspondent says that unless
Mr.. Cleveland indicates in some way before
the organization of the next House that he
will be satisfied with the reelection of
Speaker Crisp there will be a contest over
che speakership the strength of the OPP
position depending upon whether it receives
the active support Of the President or not
The fsvorite and seemingly most available
candidate upon whom the the opposition
can unite is Hon. VIM L. Wilson. who.
however, is not taking any active par. in
the contest It is thought he viii consent
to be a candidate if there is a fair chance Of
success. 1t is not improbable that Mr.
Crisp may be Withdrawn from the contest
by election to succeed Senator Colquitt, who
is at present disabled by paralysis and may
resign.

THURSDAY. JUNE s. 1898.

THE case of Julius j. Dubose, for
seven years judge of the crimi-
nal court of Shelby county, Tenn,
was disposed of Friday by the court
of impeachment sitting in Nash
vile. The house of representatives
presented thirty-six charges against
him and he was found guilty of two
of them. One of those on which he
was found guilty was that which
charges him with arresting one Hen
ry Kenneday after he had been re
leased from jail on writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Estes Of the
circuit court. In short he disre-
garded the habeas corpus. The 9th
er charge on which he was convicted
is that of trying to get Mrs. l.. T.
Mcbride to give up $4,000 worth OF
property which had been decreed to
her by the chancery court in divorce
proceedings. The proof showed that
Judge Dubose was working in the
interest of the divorced husband.
The decision of the court ofimpeach-
ment removes Judge Dubose from
the bench as judge of the criminal
court of Shelby county and debars
him from voting or holding office in
the State.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
The Peoples Bank Of Bentonville
Raided by Bandits.

Monday afternoon about three
o'clock 6 men with Winchesters slip
ped into BentonviIle, Ark, and rob
bed the Peoples bank Of all the gold
and currency on hand amounting to
about $4,000. They came into town
by back alley and left one Of their
number to hold their horses while
three Of them went into the bank
and at the point Of their guns COM
PEELED the cashier to shell out the
cash, the other two stood guard at
the door and fred into the street at
every man that showed his head.
The citizens finally secured what
arms they could and opened fusi-
lade on the robbers and wounded
two of them, but to what extent is
not known. Cashier Jackson of the
bank, Tom Baker and Taylor Stone,
Of Bentonville, were wounded, the
latter fatally. Sheriff Galbreath and
posse are in hot pursuit. The rob-
bers vent IN the direction of the
Territory.
ROGERS. Ark, June S.-The ban
dts who yesterday robbed the PEG
pies bank at Bentonyille seem to
have made good their escape with
their booty amounting to about
$4,000. As soon as possible after
the robbery had been committed the
lsheriff and posse started in pursuit
of the robbers.
About twelve miles west Of Ben
tonyille is posteffice and a couple
of stores; forming the village of De
catur. Here the robbers continued
their depredations by robbing the
stores. While thus engaged the
sheriffs posse came up.
A running fight ensued, three Of
the citizens horses being shot, but
no one was injured The sheriff and
most of his men then gave up the
pursuit, and returned to Bentonville
Three or four men, however, contin
ued in pursuit, but it is not likely
they will meet with success, as the
robbers were making for their haunts
in the Indian Territory"
THE LEADER RECOGNIZED.
While at Decatur the leader was
recognized as one Of the notorious
Starr brothers. The looted bank
opened its doors and is doing bust
ness as usual. Citizen Stone, who
was shot,is yet aliye,wit fair chanc
es of recovery.
