Loughran Admitted to Bail.

HoT SPRINGS, September 21.-The
preliminary trial Of ex-Mayor Lough-
ran terminated this afternoon. Judge
Kirk, after hearing all the testimony,
and the defense resting its case as far
as this case is concerned held Lough-
ran IN the sum Of $4,000, which
amount he has been under two days
Loughran has not been in jail, but
was in the hands of officers until he
was admitted to bail. He gave a gilt
edged bond and offered to make it
stronger of as good men as there are
in the town. lie feels confident Of
proving alibi in Circuit court where
he will introduce his witnesses.
There is, however, strong chain of
clrcumstantial evidence against the
accused, and strong current Of opin-
ion among the friends of the wound
ed man that Loughran is the guilty
man. Excitement over the shooting
has partially subsidized and feeling is
less intense.

JAILED WITHOUT BAIL.

After an exhaustive preliminary
examination in the Justice court at
New Boston, Steve Fort (col) was on
yesterday ordered to be committed to
Jail without bail, to answer at the
next term of the District court for
the murder Of Albert Hill, also color
ed, who was shot and killed at his
home, seven miles from New Boston,
on the night of September 10Th. The
evidence against the accused was ell
tirely circumstantial, but was consid-
cred conclusive by the examining
court. The facts of the killing, as
brought out at the trial, showed that
at least two men were concerned in
the murder. Hill, the man mur-
dered, was at his home on
Saturday night when he was summon
ed to the door by two or more per
sons from the outside. He asked
what was wanted and was answered
that the constable desired to see him
He stepped out the door and was in
stantly shot to death. The wife of
the murdered man testified to hearing
more than one voice from the outside
during the colloquy. Only one arrest
has been made thus far, but suspicion
points strongly toward the accompli-
ces and further arrests are looked for.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced IN the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

QUESTION REVIVED.
A Subject. of Vast Importance to
Texarkana, Reviewed.

Texarkana, Reviewed.
For years there has existed a decid-
ed difference of opinion as to tie ex-
act location of the state line which
divides Texas from Arkansas, and
this difference of opinion has given
rise to discussion and contention co.
extensive with the existence of our
city. That the line of demarkation
between the states has not always
laid as it now does is well known
fact. In 1887 the state line was or
dered to be re-surveyed. For some
reason the survey was only completed
to North La. line-then passed within
few hundred feet of where the at.
G. Junction" now stands, or five
miles west of its present location.
This was lateral line running north
and south in conformity to the varia-
tions OF the needle The present
north and south line here, does not
do Z this. Now the question arises
and it is one of almost incalcnlable
Importance to our city, as to which of
these lines is the correct one and
which of the two surveys conform to
accepted governmental usage. That
the dividing line, which separates into
two distinct parts the city of Texar-
kama, is now and has ever been an
insurmountable obstacle in the path
of every important project for inter-
nal improvement, cannot be denied,
To the state line is due the expense of
two city governments, with all at
tendant burdens and without extra
advantage. To this division of terri
tory is due the failure of repeated eff
forts to secure an adequate sewerage
system, and, we might add, Of many
other badly needed internal improve
ments. AS it now stands, Texarkana
has a dual existence and may proper
ly be regarded as two towns, rather
than one city. AS such it is denied
the prestige of cosmopolitan existence
and its people are without the advan-
tages and conveniences which proper
ly belong to city of the first class.
Under one city government, with her
interests united and resources COM
bined. Texarkana would at once ad-
vance to higher rank and the money
now wasted upon useless municipal
ity might 60 to adorn, aid and
improve the city. We care naught
for the acquisition, let the city be ceded
to either state, let it be formed into
"District" or granted by Legislative
enactment to either state. 1t is the
end to which we look, regardless of
the means. For in this instance, at
least, the end will justify the means,
whatever they may be. There are
many other things to be said in this
connection, but our space forbids a
more extended treatment Of the sub
iect in this issue. The matter is too
important, however, to be dropped,
and we shall renew the discussion at
an early date.

Interesting Facts.

Few utterances from public speak
ers of recent times have exceeded in
interest those of Hon. Chas. f. Crisp,
delivered at Washington a few days
since, on the occasion of the centennial
celebration of laying the corner stone
of popular government in this coun-
try. His words were, in brief, as fol-
lows:
When the corner stone of this great
capitol was laid our constitution was
not six years old. Government by
the people had barely reached the ex-
perimental stage. There were but
fifteen states in the Union. Our pop
ulation was less than 100000 and
the House of Representatives for
which l now speak was composed of
only 1O5 members. Today, 100 years
thereafter, our constitution still exists
unimpaired. Government by the peo-
pie has been firmly established. Our
population exceeds 67,000,000, and the
House of Representatives is composed
of 365 members. During the century
which passed since Washington stood
where we now stand the world has
watched with wonder and amusement
the marvellous growth and develop
ment of our country. When that
century began we were weak in re-
sources, burdened with debt, just
struggling into political existence and
agitated by heaving waves which
were overturning European thrones
Its end finds us strong in resources
strong in wealth and credit, strong in
numbers and strong in the affairs OF
an intelligent and united people. Ii
all that constitutes real greatness the
United States today is the foremost
nation of the earth.

The Texarkana Revival.

DEAR EDITOR STAR:
Meeting at Texarkana still going
on. There have been fifty sanctlfica-
tions and about thirty conversions,
and the fire of holiness is spreading,
the altar is crowded with seekers of
heart purity, and the holiness move
ment is located in Texarkana for
good.
Bro. Scudday is here assisting; also
Miss Ella johnson, of Marshall, and
Mrs. Sam Berry, of Woodlawn.
The church is crowded to sufloca-
ton, and on Sunday hundreds had to
90 away. Some of the most pro-
nounced opposers are being fully sane
tilted, and the town is permeated
with the doctrine.
Tell old Marshall that Texarkana
has grabbed Scottsville, and leads the
van. Hallelujah.

Describing the close of Congress
iOual debate and final Democratic vic
tory over the adoption of the commit
tees report in favor of the Tucker
bill, providing for the repeal of the
odious Federal election law, Wash
ington correspondent gives voice to
the following terse, graphic and, in
every way, excellent sentiments:
"When Dotheboys hall, under the
management Of Mr.. Squeers and his
estimablo wife, broke up and the
waits under the squeers family turned
upon Mrs. Squeers and gave the old
lady the treacle on which she had
dosed them, she made no more earn
est protest and indulged in no more
grimaces of discomfort than did Tom
Reed when the Democrats dosed him
with the nauseating parliamentary
stuff which he dealt out to them when
he was master of the House, and as
the waits of Dotheboys hall yelled in
an ecstacy of delight at her contor-
tions so did the Democrats of the
House over the gaggings of Reed, as
the medicine went down. There was
aquorum Of Democrats present. They
had succeeded in getting here and
getting into the chamber. For four
full days the Republicans had held the
enemy at bay and the democratic eau
Gus became necessary. Any idea that
Cleveland opposed the consideration
of the bill to repeal the Federal cleo
tion laws at this tiWe was set at rest
by the assertion Of those who had
seen him that he had declared that
the passage of bill repeating the
laws could not come too soon. There
fore those who were disposed to lag
because they thought they might not
be in line with the President had no
further excuse for being cold. The
Republicans made all the fight posi-
BILE against the reporting the repeal
ing bill. They called for the yeas and
nays whenever vote occurred. They
appealed from the decision of the
of the chair when this was permissible.
They tried to force Mr.. Crisp to rule
against their motions as dilatory in
order to vindicate Mr.. Reed in his rul-
ings. They fought standing up, fought
while on their knees and fought and
bit when on their backs, but ii was
all in vain. Mr.. Crisp was stern in
his rulings. AT one time he even re-
fused to listen to the protests of Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Burrows, though they
were declaiming in loud voice. The
cry of "tyranny" went up from the
Republicans around the galleries, but
the cries were more like moans than
anything else. Strange to say there
was surprise that the Democratic
House should dare to force a measure
and particularly over the protests of
Mr.. Reed, and there was cause for
this surprise, because generally a
Democratic House is such q fabby
good-natured thing. But now the
once inert body has moved and is de-
lighted with the sense Of strength
and motion. From this tune on it
promises to move without any further
incentive than that afforded bya sense
of duty to perform and obligation to
fulfill"

jefferson, in the northern limits of
New Orleans, has just enjoyed dis
gracefully savage lynching Roselius
Julian, negro prisoner, murdered
Judge Estopinal, before whom he was
arraigned for wife beating. The muir
derer fled to the swamps and escaped.
Thereupon mob of furious fools
proceeded TO hang Valsin, Bssile aud
Paul Pulian, cousins of the murderer,
and to fog numerically the female
relatives of the men. OF this whole
sale assassination the Picayune says;
"The Picayune was the first paper to
denounce the Jefferson lynchings. 1t
has always been forward in deploring
any resort to popular violence. 1t
has not words to characterize its OPP
position to and horror at the bloody
violence practiced upon people whose
only proven crime was that they were
the relatives of criminal. 1t is the
height of savagery to butcher people
who are guilty of no oflense, but are
only suspected, and it all shows the
fearful extremes of lawlessness to
which the country israpidly drifting"
Now there is unfortunately too
much truth in the above to admit of
denial. But it presents only one side
of the picture, to which there is, as
usual, another side. The above ar
ticle shows to what extent mob vio-
lence, If unchecked by the strong arm
Of the law, will go. On the other
hand we have not for to seek for an
equally striking illustration Of the
evils which, only too surely follow,
not the use, but the abuse of the law.
Here, for instance, is case directly
in point from another state, Virginia,
which tells its own story.

killed and seventeen wounded, some
of them fatally. During the excite

ARKANSAS NEvIGATIoN.

Congressman N. Z. Blanchard, OF
the Fourth Congressional district OF
Louisiana, accompanied by Govern
ment Surveyor Willard, of the New
Orleans district, arrived at Camden,
Ark, few days since, en-route to
Washington, D. G.
A committee from the Camden
Commercial League met them on the
train and accompanied them as far
as Pine Bluff. The Camden Com
merclal League had its origin i'll the
desire of the citizens Of Camden to
secure all-the-year-round navigation
on the Ouachita river, and this was
the object of this committee in taking
the initiatory steps in this direction.
Could q favorable report be secured
from Surveyor Willard the work OF
securing the appropriation necessary
would be pushed through congress by
Arkansas and Louisiana congressman
This reminds us that a similar
measure, of equally great Importance
| is pending, for an appropriation win
which to carry forward to the work
of putting the Sulphur Fork OF ked
river INTO navigable condition to
within few miles of Texarkana'
These are, doubtless, small matters to
tbe department at Washington, or to
Congress, but they are vastly impor-
tant to the present welfare and future
prosperity OF the two Arkansas towns,
of Camden and Texarkana and allect
in no small degree, the interest oil
