Spearman. in company with his Is-year-old son and several others was floating a large raft of logs down the Arkansas when q terrific rainstorm set in. The rain suddenly ceased: the sun came out. when there was a vivid flash of lightning followed by a terrific clap of thunder.
 A SHARP CRY
 from the rear of the raft caused young Spear man to recover sufficiently from the shock to look back. when he discovered old man Spear man lying prostrate. The lightning had split open the back of his head. from which the brain was oozing. torn of his right shoe and rent his clothes in shreds. His hat was gone and could not be found. The raft struck the upper bridge and over 5000 feet of lumber was lost.

Judges to Resign.

It is reliably stated that Judges Mansfield and Battle, of the supreme court. will shortly tender their resigna- tions to the governor. The reasons given for their retirement is the very arduous work attaching to the position, coupled with the fact of an inadequate salary.

Was Given Hours.

Chester Walcot, one of the smoothest crooks in this country. was exiled from Hot Springs the other morning.
 Walcot created dramatic scene in the po- lice court when arrsigned on charge of vagrancy. In making a statement in his own behalf, he burst into tears and declared in a theatrical manner that he had tried to lead an honest life. but that wherever he appeared he found that his reputation as a transgressor had preceded hlm, and eiectually closed all doors against him The following morning the police authorities decided to let Walcot leave town. Before taking his departure he gave a few pointers concerning suspicious characters there. Walcot has been a rounder in his day. and what he doesn't know about criminals is not worth knowing. He is one of the coterie of crooks who appeared at Hot Springs when the races began.

Awarded Thirty Days.

Saturday afternoon. after carefully
listening to all Of the testimony and the
arguments in the Hi Astle case, Justice
Glib leaned back in his chair, aud pro-
nounced the defendant gully OF unduly
Furnishing the girl known as Birdie
Astle. The sentence of the court was
that he be imprisoned in the county jail
for thirty days and pay the cost of pros.
ecution.
This probably winds up the cases
growing out Of the various phases OF the
difficulties recently occurring in Fannie
French's den on Sixth street, which has
resulted in very expensive litigation and
the confinement Of six persons in the
county Jail to serve out the following
sentences:
Fannie French. three months impris'

At the Episcopal Church.

Only morning service was held at the
Episcopal church yesterday. Rev. Mr..
Pritchard OBLIGATED. and just before be-
ginning the sermon. he announced that
it would be his last in this mission, his
mex post Of duty being at Livingston.
The members Of the congregation have
known for some time past that Bishop
Brewer pusposed removing him to some
other field. but it was not known just
when the change would be made until
yesterday. Mr.. Pritchard took charge
Of this mission about three years ago,
and during that interval has labored
most assiduously and successfully. He
found the church quite heavily buderned
with debt, which through his untiring
efforts, has been entirely wipedout. The
best wishes Of the entire congregation
and the community at large will follow
him to his new station.
