 Although nothing defnate has been heard from Vice-President Stevenson since the call for the June convention was issued by the State Committee, still t is hinted here that, although Mr Stevenson is known to be friendly to free coinage he is not in accord with those who are trying to force action at this time.
 In the meantime preparations are going on for an active campaign. The radical silver men will be met on the stump and literature ex- blaming the danger of the unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to 1 will be prepared and laid before the people.
 It is reported that Comptroller Eckels will undertake to write a re ply to Coins School of Finance, a work on which is now in very gen eral circulation throughout the West. Mir Eckels will deliver an address at Detroit early in May on the occasion of the dedication of a Board of Trade building and it is probable that in his speech he will fully outlined his financial policies and give answer in detail to the statements of the radical silver men.
 The contest to adjust the position of the Democrats of Illinois on the coinage question continues to be the absorbing topic. It is probable that there will be three forces in thefield. All the opponents Of the extreme

A Letter From the County Jail

The following is q letter from Chas. Moore, a white man who was re. gently convicted in the Circnit Court. on two true bills-One for forgery and the other for forged utterances- and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years on each count:
 PINE BLuFE, March l6, 1895. To Editor of tho Graphie.
 During my short prison life under the care and protection ofCapt. John C. Gibson-I can say that I am fl years old, have travelled from the grand old State of South Carolina to Honduras, c.

He is oak and rock; he is always ready to administer to the poor prisoner all that is necessary for him to have in d prison fife
 We have been blessed the past few days with a series of lectures and sermons from eX-Dynamitc Hicks but as yet no conversions. My reason for calling him "ex'-Dynamite is be- cause that he has already exploded.

COUNTERFEIT COIN.
4 Woman Arrested With Twelve Coun terfeit Silver Dollars in Her
 Possession.

This morning a negro woman named Hattie Nelson was arrested by Deputy Sheriff for passing Il counterfeit silver dollar. After her arrest eleven dollars more of the spurious coin was found on her per son. When questioned as to how the money came into her possession, she stated that she was paid part of it for rent for her roem and that the remainder was given to her by q white man. She claimed that she did not know that the money was counterfeit. The counterfeit with the exception of the false ring and light weight, is remarkably good. The dies in which the coin was made were excellent and the milling" and face of the coin is as good as that of the genuine silver dollar. The spu- rious coin is of the series of 1881.
 Our people had better be on their guard, as it is believed that a large quantity of these commercials have been unloaded in this city.

NOT DEFINITELY SETTLED. Cabinet Members May Enter the Illinois Financial Campaien-EckIes to Write Sound Money
 Book

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 18.- Nothing has been definitely settled as yet as to whether members of the Cabinet will participate in the Hi nois debate. It is probable, how eyer, that some of them will make seeches during the contest. Secre- tary Gresham has always been friendly to silver and inclined to take Western view of most public questions, but he is fully convinced as MT. Cleveland that it would be dangerous to the prosperity and business interests of the country to attemn free and unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to l at this time.
 Secretary Gresham is an ardent bi- metallist but is more opposed to sill yer monometallism than to gold monomentallism This is perhaps the attitude of all the members of the Cabinet and of the chief officers of the administration in Washing ton.
 It is absolutely safe to say that re- ports which represent Secretary Gresham as in sympathy with the 16 to 1 men and not in sympathy with the other bimetallists of the administration are destitute of the

The above famous Confederate Gen eral has received a cordial reception in every city he has visited in his lec- ture tour over the United States. He will arrive in Pine Bluff Saturday, for the purpose of featuring here Saturday night, and our ex-confed- crate citizens should at once make arrangements to suitably receive the distinguished General of the cause they loved, fought for and lost A meeting of old soldies should be called and a committee appointed to meet General Gordon on his arrival. Let not Pine Bluff be the first city in the land that failed to do him honor. Such an act would be disgrace to our warm hearted. South-loving people.

WINDING AROUND.

The Peculiar Antics of KirkIand's Greek.
 Some few months ago mention was made in this paper of an occur renee in Kirkland valley that was transforming that usually quiet set clement into a state of alarm by the creation of a new and living stream of water, that seemed, contrary to all scientific principles, to be des- tined to run up a hill, or in other words, that in low ground, in the southwestern part of the valley, a new stream was being developed of considerable magnitude to run up and through the ranches of Messrs. Kirkland and Jackson. At the time of the first noticing the crumbling of the earth along the original stream, where no water on the sur lace could be seen along it for a dis tance of four miles, the above gen tlemen paid but passing notice to 1t. But since the heavy rains of last winter, the activity of this small crevIce has become plainly notice able ID its work, and to-day it has travelled to that extent that gives every indication of moulding itself into a big and living stream of water, which in that particular sec ton has never before been dreamed of, much less seen.
 Messrs. Kirkland and Jackson, who are affected more from this sudden outburst of nature than any other people living there, have, or are moving their homes to the northern side of the valley, over a mile distant, and in doing so. say that while there is no immediate danger of being swallowed up. on the other hand, it is more profitable to be permanently located than it is to be staked out, as it were.
 Since mention was made in this paper of the development of this new body of water there, the creyice has continued to grow in depth and width, until to-day it has reached a

A man naged Trumbow was brought in on this mornings train from Skull valley, and taken to the Sisters Hospital to receive treat ment for a very severe cut m the thigh. He was employed by Bash ford & Parker in a rodeo party, and while engaged Ill tying a steer yes terday while holding a knife in his hand, he accidentally cut himself, it Is thought, severing an artery. His thigh was bandaged tightly to prevent further loss of blood, all though he bled profusely before they succeeded in stopping the flow. He was then carried twelve miles on a litter to Skull valley, where he was placed on the train.

Mesa Extension.

Yesterday morning a special train over the Maricopa x Phenix railway dropped at Tempe a corps of en- ginsers. under the lead of Frank r.. Trott, who forthwith started the work of running to Mesa the long projected extension of the road.
 The line will leave the main line a short distance north of the passen- ger depot, and will traverse Third street and across Mill avenue to the Mckinney and Kirkland or Hayden ditch. Thence eastward tte grade will follow the line of the canal to Q point several miles east of Tempe, whence the right of-way has been assured into the townsite of Mesa.
 The railroad officials have little to say upon the subject, other than to give the assurance that the line will be completed within a short time. -Pkenix Gazette.

There would appear to be change pending in what Is generally known as the new" Buckeye canal. Several years ago the property was trans ferred to the Equitable Mortgage company, of New York, and great things were then promised for the canal, which, at the bottom, is one of the meritorious of enterprises. Yesterday morning in the county recorders office was filed releases of all claims whatever, signed by the Equitable Mortgage company and by Charles B.

Since that period, q here has hardly been a fire of any magnitude in this city, but what he has had to face it with the loss of some building. The fire this morning closed the eighth structure of his, he has seen burned to the ground, in the short space of ten years and peculiar as it seems, every fire that has resulted so disas- trously to him, originated on ad- joining ground. Mir. Raible said today that he has but one piece of real estate left with home thereon and believes that providence will or should spare it, in view of the mis- fortunes of the past. In but one instance, also, of the many losses he has sustained, has any insurance covered the property, and in that single instance, of but a nominal sum.
 Mir. Raible is among the first of the Hassayampers, arriving here early in 1864, and erecting the old kubernatorial mansion of Judge IFleurv, now standing and occupied in West Prescott, being the first durable house to be built in the lcity, that he has known so we'll and ESO lOnO
