 "hite Convict Shot by n Negro Guard
 LITTLE RocK, Feb. %. Fifty five con vets have been brought to the city and lodged in the state prison for safe. keeping. They were the worst spec;. mems of humanity seen in this city for years. Some were half naked and bare. footed and had the appearance of not having had square meal for some tune. Judge Compton says that fully thirty of the convicts were forced to work in their bare feet and scantv clothing, and several of them were half starved. Deputy Heard remarked that some of them had nothing to eat for several days except soup, which he would not have given to his dog.
 Contractor W. II. Ward says he did his very best to give the convicts prop CT attention. Three weeks ago he said he notified Judge Compton that the eonvicts had no shoes and that he was keeping them in the house. There are thirty-five convicts on Col. Zeb Wards t-'SN "hO " III O0 ltlllOTtu lO the DfDl- tentiary within week. A rumor came to Judge Compton's ears at Morrillton to the effect that one of the negro guards shot and killed a white prisoner while trying to escape from the camp. and that the body was left for some time lying where it feii. 4 young white boy, who made the break for liberty with the deceased, confirmed the rumor. Judge Compton is not yet satisfied, but awaits full report from the clerk of the camp.
 One of the convicts brought down was white boy, aged IS, who was suf- fering from severe injuries which he claimed were inflicted by guard whip ping him Dr. Hing examined the boy and found large bruises on his body, and one foot was mashed. The injured boy was placed in the county hospital for treatment.

A Little Rock special to the St. Louis Republic says:
 It is too early to prognostieate any estimate of crops or acreage in Arkansas. Three weeks of almost continuous freezing weather with no prospects of immediate abatement gives prom ise Of a late spring. Advices from southwest Arkansas indicate an increased acreage in cereals in that section, while the warm days of January caused the stone fruits to bud to such an extent us to render the prospects of that crop very slim. It is also believed that the apple crop. now the chief crop of northwest Arkansas, will be no larger than last year, making three successive seasons short of apple crops. The cotton crop was practically mar keted month ago.

II0W PIIdsU UI VIIC I1dSVI ILUIuoI case has been developed,
 An act of the last legislature. which tho court and counsel on both sides overlooked, has turned up It provides that the superintend ent of the state insane asylum shall admit any one onathe certificate of the trial judge who shall be acquitted on a plea of insanity on presentment or indictment for a capital ofenSe. Dave Laser was discharged after the verdict was rendered at Perryville. Although acquitted on the plea of insan- lty 1t is reported that Judge Lea wll or der his rearrest for the purpose of committing him to the asylum under this act. Lasers attorneys say the act is nugatory. and the action of the judge is entirely discretionary. If the evidence in the trial went to establish insanity up to the date Of the trial the court could exercise this authority. but as no attempt was made to prove Laser insanity except for time previous to and at the time of the commission of the crime his present insanity would be a matter of judicial inquiry.

 The London chamber of commerce @ gave William l.. Wilson a grand dinner September Eth.
 Rhode Island, having given a democratic plurality of l05 in 1893, goes republican in 1894 by more than 6,0OO. Oregon, which elected its present governor, as a democrat, by 5000 plurality, goes republican by about 1000. Tennessee, demo. cratic for governor in 1892 by 27.OO0 plurality in spite of an independent democratic movement which drew of 5000 votes from the ragultr candidate, is democratic yet, but with the plurality of two years ago cut just in half. Alabama, the home of democratic majorities of from 5000 to more than 10000, is saved this year with hardly more than 10000 to spare. Arkansas, 40,000 democratic for Cleveland in 1892, goes down to 25,0O0 or whereabouts. Vermont, republican by l4,0O0 at the the last election of a governor, doubles her republican majority this year. Maine falls in line with the heaviest republican majority within the memory of the present generation, majority greater even than Grants over Greeley, twenty two years ago, and more than double Hsrrison's over Cleveland in 1892. And now comes Georgia, which went democratic by Sl,000 and in 1890 by 105.00O, with a vote so clos e that the party managers would be happy this morning to claim with certainty a beggarly 10000 in that former stronghold of democracy.
