FINE SUNDAY RACING
Hundreds at street Crossings watch
ing the sport-Cail i'm Vain for
the Police.

Many OF the people who live up on North
Meridian street regretted yesterday after
noon that they had such a fine pavement
in front of their property, and not a few of
them wished the Common Council had
passed the ordinance turning Capitol ave-
nue. over 10 the speeding of horses. The
North Meridian-street block pavement yes
terday afternoon was a race track pure
and simple, and hundreds of people stood
at the street intersections to watch the gay
sport. Men with fast horses took COM
plete possession OF the thoroughfare, and
the man OF family who owned a sow-going
plug was haranyued by the drivers of the
fast animals till he was glad 10 take refuge
in one Of the side streets.
The racing began about 100 o'clock and
continued without Interruption till 4:3o,
when the horses were SO tired the Sunday
afternoon carnival was brought TO a close.
Some time later lone policeman appeared
above st. Clair street and dispersed the
crowds that were still standing about. One
of the residents on the street telephoned to
the police station early in the afternoon
making vigorous complaint, but no heed
was paid, and a second protest was made.
This was tardily answered by the appear
ance OF the patrolman after the horsemen
were ready to go to the stables.
The cheering of the hundreds of people
who witnessed the racing was exceedingly
disquieting to the residents who wanted a
Sunday afternoon quietude to prevail in the
neighborhood, but there was another ele-
ment that put them on their mettle. ana
that was the danger. Shortly after 5
o'clock little children came pouring out or
the Tabernacle Church Sunday school at
Meridian and Second streets, and hesitate0
to cross Meridian street lest they get caught
under the feet OF the flying animals. Sew
eral men piloted a group Of the youngsters
across the pavement and then turned about
to watch the racing.
One woman who watched the speeding
during the afternoon says she kept count OF
two Of the fast animals and saw them pass
her residence twenty times in the after
noon. She also saw that a number Of horses
attached to family carriages became fright
ened at the noise and threatened all sorts
of danger. The dust from the street arose
in clouds. A delegation will probably visit
the Board OF Safety to-day and ask for
protection hereafter.
.And you might add said one person
who called up the Journal by telephone last
night, chat il the man who wants a race
track over on Capitol avenue needs any
assistance we will help him push his fool
scheme through. II there just has TO be a
speedway we want Capitol avenue to have
IL. That's what 1t was constructed for. We
people on Meridian street didn't howl for a
booleyward.

A PRISONERS SHREwD RUSE.
A story Told mt the Expense of John
II. Elan.

A good story Is told at the expense of
John b. Elan. in which justice. defeated
for a time, asserted itself finally and al
lowed Mr.. Elan to smile at his adversary.
The reading or this story will probably be
his first insight into what then seemed TO
him TO be a great mystery. 1t was while
he was prosecuting attorney that the &C.
currence happened. A man was arrested
charged with burglary. The evidence
against the prisoner seemed certain TO
bring conviction and Mr.. Clam did not take
the trouble TO very fully investigate the
case or prepare for the trial. While not
caught in the act, the man was arrested
only a short time after the robbery was
committed and in the same neighborhood
He was taken TO the police staten with
three other men and searched He was then
locked up and awaited trial. The grand
Jury returned an indictment I'm the course
OF time and he was placed on trial in the
Criminal Court. In the house where the
robbery occurred a coat button and a knife
were found. Comparison with the buttons
on the prisoners coat showed that the but
ton evidently had formerly occupied the
place that was then without button The
knife was identified by woman as the
property OF the prisoner. Ii was very
peculiar make. and was knife that would
attract attention at any time, all OF which
made 1t easy Of identification and made the
witness positive that it was the prisoner
knife.
All OF this evidence was brought out I'm the
trial. When the button was produced In
court by the prosecution the defendants
attorney asked TO see IL. He made a close

Treasurer Woodruff Gnilty.

LITTLE Rock, Feb. 24.-News reached
here from Perryville today that ex-
State Treasurer William +. Woodruff,
who has been on trial for week on a
charge of false pretense, was convi cted
last night, the jury assessing his pun
ishment at one year in the peniten-
tiary The jury was out two hours.
On the first ballot eight voted for
conviction and four for acqultal. FL
nally term of one year was agreed
upon as compromise. The ex-Treas-
urer received the verdict stoically and
said he would appeal the case to the
Supreme Court.
At Woodruff home in this city the
defendants daughter, Miss Bessie,
swooned away when she heard the
news. She has been quite i'll for sew
eral days and is in a precarious con-
dltion. The verdict was great
surprise in this city.
Woodruff has been tried four times
on charges growing out Of his defalca-
tions as State Treasurer. One was an
acquital, twice hung juries and the
fourth conviction. He was State
Treasurer for six years up to 1891, and
when his term expired and investiga-
ton showed that he was short $110 900
in his accounts. All Of this amount
except $40 900 has been paid by his
bendsmen. There is still charge of
embezzlement pending against him.
Before his present trouble he was
one of the most popular men in the
State and could have been elected
Governor. Last fall when arralgned
on the charge of false pretenseo he
presented an affidavit stating his
belief that he could not obtain fair
and impartial trial in Little Rock and
Judge Lea granted change of venue
to Perryville.

go, can now be seen al D. Crawford &
Co.'S. corner Broadway and Franklin
avenue. The statue is the only one of
it's kind in existance, and is a wonder
ful exhibition Of the sculptor's art.
1t is made of pure silver and stands
on base of solid gold. The metal in
the statue was taken from the mines
Of the Double Eagle Mining Company
Of Montana, and is valued at $500 600.
There is about $75 900 worth Of silver,
and $225, ,060 worth Of gold used in it's
construction. The entire weight of
the statue including the base is
81 ,025 pounds. 1t is 8 feet high and
has circumference of feet at the
basS.
The statue was modelled by R, H.
Park from the figure of Miss Ada
Rehan. 1t was such an enormous un-
dertaking that Mr.. Park sent for M.
Berhem, a noted French caster, to cast
the statue, fearing to trust an mex
perienced man with the execution Of
his work.
The statue stands on the floor of D.
Crawford & Co IS. large store, looking
brilliantly beautiful with the light
from an adjacent window, shining on
its cleaning surface. 1t stands on a
globe with it's left foot over the silver

and the scales Of justice in the left.
At the base below the globe is that
proud bird Of freedom. the American

West, is crown with the head Of
liberty as centerpiece. The whole
presents an imposing appearance.

SOMETHING MAY DROP.
NEW POLITICAL PARTY MAY BE ORGAN.
lied IN A SHORT TIME.
Western and Southern Democrats May Leave
Their Party and Go With 1t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-There is a
constant watch around congress to
learn the feeling existing among the
men most concerned in the silver
movement, and particularly the west
ern and southern democrats. Bland
was in consultation with Represen ta-
tive Bryan today, and every one in
any way connected with the move
ment felt confident that it was directly
regarding the new scheme so general
ly discussed among the southern
members.
The point of most of the speculation
is upon the lines to be laid down by
the new party, whether it will be a
free silver party, inviting every kind
of fusion, or whether it will be a new
born democracy endeavoring to have
its foundation upon old tim democ-
racy. When approached upon the
matter Mr.. Bland said: Everything
is too indefinite. | would not like to
tell you something is going to happen
when it is yet almost impossible and
prefer to wait until there there is
something more definite to tell.''
There is nothing to be be found out
as yet as to what will develop, but
from appearance there is consderab le
force BEND the movement and it will
be pushed to the end.
