Troops Ordered Home.

News comes to us from Lift
Rock that all troops stationed at
North Little Rock have been order
ed home. Sheriff Mills notified Lien
tenant W. r. Sample by telephone
at 7 o'clock last evening that their
services were no longer needed Ac-
cording Lieut. Sample sent word to
the troops at North Little Rock to
that effect. The Eagle Rangers
had been in camp on the North side
since first called on July A. The
Cabot company, which arrived last
evening, will have nothing to do
but return.
There is a sufficient force of Dep
uty United States Marshals, chiefly
from other counties, to protect the
railroads property, and the sheriff
deemed the presence Of state troops
no longer necessary. This will be
welcome news to the people Of
North Little Rock, to whom the
troops presence was very irritat-
ing. The strikers said they would
protect the property themselves if
the troops were removed, and they
now have a chance to show that
they meant what they said.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE,
From Both Houses of Congress, Still
Discussing Free Coal
and Iron.

Telegraphic news from Washing
ton, concerning progress being
made by the House and Senate
conference committee, on the tarif
bill, under date of July 18th, says:
There was more interest mani
tested today among members of the
Senate and House, not members OF
the Tariff Conference Committee
than on any previous day since the
conference of the Democratic mem
bers of the committee began, and
the air about both the Senate and
House was full of rumors as to what
had been done Many of these
stories were considered sufficiently
well founded to justify Senators and
members in discussing them as &C
complished facts. The most persis-
tent of these rumors was that coal
and iron ore were to be restored to
the free list as they were when the
bill passed the House A thorough
investigation revealed the fact that
this story grew out of a converse
ton between members of the com
mittee and Senators and Represen-
tatives not connected with it, and
while it had not been stated in these
conversations that the committee
had agreed on changes the outside
members were given to understand
that this was the programme and
it was to be put into execution by
the Joint efforts of the House con-
ferees and two Senate members of
the conference. The members of
the committee spoken to on this
subject after the adjournment of
the committee declared that no
action has as yet been taken upon
these two items, and they went 50
far as to declare that they had not
even been discussed They made
the same denial of another story
which was current, to the effect
that changes had been decided W
on in the sugar schedule. This, like
the coal and iron ore rumor, game
persistent circulation and it wa
sufficiently material to gain the al
tention of the Louisiana Senator
and cause them to declare them
selves very openly in opposition to
any lowering of sugar duties, and
to 90 so far as to Indicate deter
mination to oppose the bill when it
is returned to the Senate if it should
be found that the rates had been
changed to the material injury Of
that industry.

BRIGHT STAR LETTER.

BRIGHT STAR, ARK, July 13, '94.
Some ten days ago the third par
ty chairman called a township con-
vention to meet in Bright Star to-
day. The meeting was called to or
der at II o'clock a. M, when L.. b.
Fulsom and Allie Jones were nomi-
mated for justices of the peace and
John bennington for constable.
This completing the business for
which the convention was called,
adjournment followed, when j. j.
Vogel was introduced by G. W. Col
Inns, and he proceeded to enlighten
the benighted voters of Sulphur
from Populist standpoint. About
thirty persons were present, fully
80 per cent of whom were Demo
crots. The meeting must have
been a disappointment to local Pop
ulist leaders.

PRENDERGAsT HUNG.
The Murderer of Carter Harrison Elk.
plates His Crime on the
Scafold.

From the gloomy precincts of
Cook county prison, in the city of
Chicago, at 11;42 o'clock yesterday
morning, Patrick Eugene Prender-
CAST, the assassin, whose deadly
bullet severed the chord of a noble
life, and laid the chief magistrate
of great cityin an untimely tomb,
was led forth from his cell, to face
for the last time, an outraged pub
lie, and y,with his life the legal
forfeit of his crime.
At an early hour in the morning
prison officials entered the cell of the
condemned man, and found him, APP
parently, calm and collected, after
d fairly good rest during the previ-
Gus night. AtlO:45 hegallows had
been tested and found in satisfac-
tory working order, The crowd in
and about, the Jail bore restless
air of depressed excitement, becom-
ing momentarily more eager and
restless as the fatal hour approach
ed, all intensely anxious to catch the
first and last glimpse of the doomed
man.
At 11:42 o'clock a hush fell upon
the throng in the corridor, and far
down the sombre hall could be heard
the muffled tramp of the funeral
cortege. A few moments later
Sheriff Gilbert and Jailer Morris APP
peared at the right of the scafford.
The prisoner, pale and unsteady,
walked behind them. He stood
without apparent nervousness,
though a trihe weak and unsteady,
as his arms were being pinioned.
He seemed determined to die game,
and looked calmly out on the assem-
bled crowd below him. A white
shroud was next placed about him,
and barring little restless motion
of the eyes up, down and from side
to side he made no motion. Tailor
Morris now placed the rope about
mis- neck, the white cap over his
head, and Prendergast, game to the
last, had taken his last look on
earth. An instant later at 1l48
o'clock he shot downward his head
being twisted to one side, his neck
neck having apparently been brok-
en-. At 1859 o'clock, 8 minutes az
ter the trigger was sprung, he was
pronounced dead.
The cowardly crime for which
Patrick Eugene Prendergast's
neck was cracked Friday was the
assassination of Mayor Carter
Harrison at the latter's home
in Chicago on the evening of Oct.
28, last just as the Worlds Fair, for
which the murdered man had done
so much and with which he was SO
closely identified, was preparing to
90 out in a blaze of glory. Prender-
CAST entered the Mayors residence
as one OF the horde of visitors who
daily called on the man who was
always so close to the people. The
Mayor was in his library when the
assassin entered. He advanced
with outstretched hand to meet
him, but his welcome was answered
by the sharp reports of a pistol.
The Mayor called out and his son
ran to his aid, but too late, the as
sassin's deadly work had been done
only too well, as death followed
speedily. 1t afterward developed
that Prendergast had committed
the crime to avenge a fancied
wrong, because the Mayor refused
to notice his application for APP
pointment as corporation counsel,
for the city OF Chicago. At least
such was the reason assigned by
Prendergast after his arrest.

OUTLOOK STILL BRIGHTER.
Backbone of the Strike Badly Frac-
tured. Good News Still Com
ing in.

CHICAGO, July 13.-The strike
situation all over the country is
much improved. President Debs
today submitted a proposition to
the Managers Association, promis-
ing to call the strike off if all the
roads would agree to take back all
their old employees that have not
been guilty of crime. The manag-
ers declined to take back the strik-
ers and Debs says he will not call off
the strike till they do. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor has de-
clined to assist Debs in any way,
and martial law was officially pro
claimed in Sacramento yesterday
afternoon.

DEBS TALKS

Following the reassuring news
contained in the above dispatch,
comes a yet later special, giving
the position of President Debs, on
the situation, as gathered from his
own public utterances, the most
recent of which are contained in
the following special from Chicago,
under date of July 18th:
A joint meeting of the Executive
Board of the A. R. U. and K. of L.
was held at Ulrich's Hall at 5 p. M,
to consider the treatment which
the Railway Unions proposition to
the General Managers Association
received earlier in the day. An in
formal discussion followed and an
adjournment taken until 10 o'clock
in the morning. The feeling
against the General Managers had
acted on the proposition before tax
ing any further action them
selves.
President Debs said at the close
of the meeting that the union had
made its last overtures to the Gen
eral Managers. 1t had gone more
than half way. If the present
proposition was ignored or rejected
the strike would be renewed with
greater force and continued until
the railway people gave in. The
people had been appealing to the
railway union to stop the strike;
hereafter they must appeal to the
railway managers. The burden of
future troubles and loss of business
must rest on their shoulders.
Mr.. Debs added that there had
been no relaxation of the strike.
1t is on in force and will remain so
until an affirmative answer comes
from the General Managers. If
such an answer was received the
strike would end in twenty minutes.
He intimated that the Union had
reserve forces which it could call
into action and that they would be
felt in their full strength if necess-
airy. He said labor unions were
waiting patiently to be called on to
join in sympathetic strike, and de-
clared that twelve or fifteen were
today induced to wait until an an
swer had been received from the
General Managers.
