DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS.
Oates, the Democratic Candidate, De-
feats Kolb, the Populite,
for Governor.

Special dispatches from Mont
gomery, Ala, under date of August
9TH, give the following account of
Democratic victory in the state
election:
The returns from the State of
yesterdays general election have
been coming in slowly today, only
to increase the majority for Oates
and the State Democratic ticket,
Tonight Oates majority over Kolb
and the Populist ticket is estimated
to be from $4,000 to 100000 From
nearly every county comes reports
of losses by Kolb as compared with
his vote in August, 1898. In some
counties this loss is tremendous; in
limestone for instance his loss is
fully 1,300 votes, In Madison it is
about 1,4OO, while in Henry the
Democratic gain is 1900 In Lamar
the exact figures are at hand and
give Oates a majority of 275 in place
of Kolb's majority of 861 in 1892,
a change of l ,136 votes In Pick
ems, one of Kolb's fortresses in 1892,
Oates received about 500 majority,
loss OF about 200 for Kolb in
that county
Chairman Tompkins, of the state
Democratic committee, says Oates
majority will be over %, 900 and ex-
poets it to run to 30, 600. Col Oates
himself retired soon after midnight
entirely satisfied that his majority
was pretty close to 10000. The
General Assembly is claimed by the
Democrats. At their headquarters
it is figured out that there will
surely be eleven Democratic major
ity in the Senate and eighteen ma
jority in the House, including JEFF
ferson's delegation of six. In 1892
Gov. Jones had majorities in the
twelve black counties aggregating
$4,000. Kolb secured $4,000 major
ity in the rest of the state, The
gains that come in from unofficial
returns show that Kolbs majority
of Is, 900 outside the black belt has
entirely wiped out, and that in
place of it appears majority of
5000 to 10000 for Oates. With but
two exceptions every county has
been heard from. In this Mont,
gomery) county Kolb polled only 400
out of about 5000.

COMING HOME.
Jones and Berry Will Be at the Ser
vice of the State Central Com
mittee after Adjournment,

WASHINGTON, D, c., August G.
Immediately upon the adjournment
of Congress, which is not consider
ed very far off now, tariff or no tar
if, the members of the Arkansas
delegation will proceed home at
once to enter the campaign, The
Congressman will fill appointments
in their respective districts, and
Senators Jones and Berry will speak
in every section of the State. AL
though having no contest of his
own this year Senator Jones will
assist in the campaign against the
Populists and Republicans by max
ing as many speeches as he possibly
can consistent with his rundown
physical condition, the result of his
hard and ceaseless work in behalf of
tariff legislation this session. Sen
ator Jones is daily in receipt of let
tiers from different parts of the
State, requesting him to include
the places in his list, but as yet he
has mapped out no programme,
and in all probability will place him
self at the disposal of the state cen
trail committee and leave it to that
body to make his appointments as is
deemed best for the interests of the
party.
Every Arkansas employee of the
government in this city, who posi-
bly, can, will secure a leave of alb
sence in time to allow return
home to vote'in the September cleo
ton. Though devouring pie Gn
quantities either large or smalD the
exiled Arkansas Democrat is not
udmindful of that first of all polite
al duties, and is anticipating with
pleasure the trip home on such an
Grand
Congressman Terry will address
the Arkansas Democratic Associd-
ton of the District of Columbia, at
its next regular meeting. Mr.. Ed
gar Merritt, of New Lewisville, was
elected secretary of the association
at the last meeting, W, A. H. Nc
Daniel having resigned the position
upon his departure for Paragould
to visit his family. Previous to
coming to Washington to accept
position in the government printing
office, Secretary Merritt was con-
nected with the publishing depart
ment of the The New Lewisville Re
corder.

At | / a. m. as far as heard from

Berry beats Fishback two to one in
this county. Thomason Crawford

Patti Rosa Dead.

New York, Aug, 5,--Patti Rosa,
the well known soubrette, died to-
day. She was the wife of John w.
Dunno, who will leave tomorrow
morning with the remains for Chi
cago, where the funeral will take
place on Thursday next.
Patti Rosa had intended to leave
for New York last week to spend
several weeks before entering upon
an extensive tour which had been
mapped out for her. Not being in
good health, however, she decided
to undergo a medical examination,
and on Monday last it was found
that she was suffering from a severe
form of appendicitis. She was re-
moved to st. Francis Hospital,
where an operation was performed
on Tuesday, from which she died
today.

SHORT SESSION.

WASHINGTON, August THE Sen
ate held d short and uninteresting
session today, adjourning at 2:40 p.
m. The most important event of
the days proceedings was the pass
age of a resolution directing the
President to take steps for the re-
lease of American residents confn-
ed in the island Of Cuba for partici-
pating in recent rebellions. The
early adjournment was due to a de-
sire to avoid irritating remarks,
it was thought on the Democratic
side, would probably be heard later
in the day from Republican Sena-
tors and might lead to a debate,
which, at the present time, when
feeling is running high, might prove
disagreeable. There was nothing
before the Senate except the calen-
dar which contains a large number
of bills that some of the leading
Senators think might as well re-
main on the calendar.
THE HOUSE.
After a rather uninteresting ses-
sion the House adjourned at 2:45
o'clock. Immediately on the ad-
journment the clerk announced the
call for a Democratic caucus at 3
o'clock. The announcement was
greeted with cheers on the Repub-
lican side.

THE CATHOLICS AND THE TEN
PERANCE MOVEMENT.

The recent decision of Manager
Satolli, the representative of the
Pope of Rome in this country, on
the liquor traffic question is beyond
a doubt very important one and
is pronounced by the advocates of
temperance god-speed to the
movement.
The decision is not command but
an endorsement of Bishop Waiter
sons circular letter issued some six
months ago to the clergy and laity
of the diocese of Columbus, Ohio, in
regard to the presence of saloon
keepers in Catholic societies.
Among other things the Bishop
said: 81 hereby withdraw approval
from any and every Catholic society
or branch or division thereof in this
diocese that has a liquor dealer or
saloon keeper at its head or any
where among its head or anywhere
among its officers; and ! suspend
every Catholic society itself from
the rank and privileges as a Catho-
lie society until it ceases to be so Of
ficered. ] again publish the condi-
ton, without which have for some
years declined to approve Of
new societies or new branches of old
organizations in this diocese, name
ly; That no one who is engaged
either as an agent or as a principal
in the manufacture or sale of inteX-
icating liquors can be admitted to
membership.
This circular letter created a stir
which has been intensified by the
decision of Archbishop Satolli in
substance as follows
l. Bishops have the right and
duty to guard faith and morals
within the limits of their dioceses.
They are divinely appointed judges
in such matters, and hence no mere
cociety or individual laymen have
the right to set such decision at de-
liance. The mere fact that such
decision may be the cause Of tempo
raj loss does not justify opposition,
as the temporal must give way to
the spiritual good, and private good
must give way to public good,

BUSINESS FAILURES.
William Neal & Sons, and I. W. McKelvy
sucoumb to the stringenCy Of the
Times.

The firm of McKelvy Neal & Co. was
one Of the Oldest and best known in
this section of the state. They opera
ted the Bloom Furnace, and gcner-
al mercantile business for many years,
and did prosperous trade. More
than twenty years ago the firm dissolv.
ed, and William Neal & Sons took
the furnace property, and l. w. Nc
Kelvy who was member Of the firm,
took the store, William McKelvy re-
firing. Among the matters assumed
by 1. w. McKelvy were the debts of
the old firm, which we're considerable,
but he thought he could manage them
and undertook to do so. This was
one of the mill stones that has been
hanging about his neck all through his
business life, but which he could have
handled but for other burdens. He
has met with loss after loss, until
finally the failure of William Neal &
Sons last week was followed by an in
vestigation of his own financial con-
dition and he was compelled to make
an assignment. 1t is not necessary to
enter into details. The records OF the
court show that judgments and mort
cages exceeding $4,000 have been
entered, and his debts will take all his
property.
The failure of w. Neal & Sons was
brought about by the long continued
dullness in the iron trade. and by a
number of failures of parties who were
heavily indebted to them. The fur
mace has been blown out, and will not
start up again. Judgments and mort
cages have been entered against them
for large amount, and will sweep all
they own.
The Meals and 1. w. McKelvy have
been the leading business men Of the
town, and have always encouraged
every enterprise that was intended to
benefit the community. Their bust
ness transactions have always been
fair and honorable, and they have en-
joyed the respect and confidence ol
everybody. Their failures are spoken OF
with one universal voice Of sympathy
and regret, and gloom has been cas-,
over the town. The exact amount ol
assets and liabilities are not YET

q. R. Grimes Robbed.

For three years H. R. Grimes has
been free from burglarious raids, and
he had begun to hope that he would
forever be exempt from the levies of
these undesirable visitors. But some
time between midnight on Saturday
and daylight Sunday morning he suf
fered another visit at their hands.
A gang of six tramps had been Loaf
ing around the vicinity for several
days, and Mr.. Grimes made up his
mind that they contemplated paying
him call. Saturday evening he took
extra precautions in securing the doors
and windows, but retired with many
misgivings. Sunday morning about
seven o'clock he discovered that the
store had been raided during the night.
The doors on the canal side of the
store had all been tried, but without
success, and an entrance effected
through the window over the scales.
The shutter had been wrenched from
its fastnings with powerful claw bar,
used on the railroad for spike pulling,
and the window glass broken. Through
this opening one Of the burglars enter
ed and opened the door, when the en-.
tire stock was at their mercy. The
dog in the store, particularly cross
and noisy little fellow, never made a
noise, or if he did, not enough to give
an alarm.
AT first glimpse it looked as though
they had made big assessment this
time. Goods were thrown upon the
floor, drawers were pulled out and
their contents turned topsy turvy, and
the whole stock had evidently been
given thorough overhauling but
careful examination showed that they
had carried of only $roo worth Of
stuff, consisting of clio ohing, tobacco,
cigars, candies, boots, and a few
notions. The burglars disappeared
without leaving clue about the place
as to the direction in which they went.
But, on this side of the river, down
along the Penna's. track, between The
station and the tank, a new plug of
tobacco was picked up by some one,
and as it was brand kept In this
section only by Mr. Grimes. it is safe
to presume that the raid was the work
of the tiamps who make their heal
quarters at the tank.
This is the third time the store has
been b1rglarized.-Cdta,o Item.

THE EVANGELIST.

Mrs. Grace Weiser Davis, the emf
nent woman evangelist, will assist
Rev. w. G.. Ferguson in his Evange.
listic services in the Methodist Episco-
pal Church. The first service will be
next Sunday at half-past ten O'Clock.
The press speaks Of her in the highest
terms. Scranton Tribune says she
assisted the pastor of Simpson Church
and that "the church has been the
scene of series of most interesting
and successful meetings which have
been productive Of inestimable good.
Persons who have heard her speak are
charmed with her earnest convincing
methods and we do not wonder at her
great success" Mrs. Davis was born
in York, Pa, converted at the age Of
eight years. For a number of years
she taught in the public schools of
that city. She has spoken in most of
the large cities of the land. At her
various meetings it is estimated fully
twenty thousand persons have profess
ed conversion. A Long Island paper
says the singing Of Mrs. Davis is some.
thing grand. She has powerful
voice under thorough control, and full
of expression, and the fifteen minutes
service of song each evening is a rare
treat to all who have heard her. One
Of the New York daily papers says
"when Mrs. Davis was at Washington
Square Methodist Church she was pro-
nounced the best lady evangelist IN
the field. She presents truth with
such sweetness Of temper and persua-
siveness as to avoid being offensive
and repellant and yet she has won
thousands to Christ"
