KNOCKED DOWN BY A BLOW.

Robert Payne, colored, a son Of
Ella Payne, said that young Hall
had run away aud boys brought
him back. Charles Hammond was
sitting in the door, and as the boy
passed him he gave him a blow
with his fist, and witness heard the
boy fall. He heard the blows be-
ing given the boy from within the
house, Payne said he told Ham
mond before that if he beat the boy
again he would report him to the
police. Robert Cook, superintend-
ent for the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company Of New York,
testified that the company had a re-
cord Of Campbell Hammond, no re-
cord Of Campbell Hall that he
could discover. The boys life had
been insured last June for 5 cents
a week, which would make the pol
icy about $50. He said his agent
had told him that the woman Rose
Hammond had come to him and
applied to have the boys life
sured. She had represented that
she was the boys mother, and lad
her representation been otherwise
they would not have placed the in
surance, as they never insure a.
dopted children. He had not yet
seen the application paper, which
ne had sent for, and which would
be here tomorrow.
Mary Clair, colored, who livesin
Balls court, next to the Hammonds,
said that two months ago she went
to the Hammond house and Rose

STARVED AND BEATEN.
DEATH OF A CoLoRED BOY.
HALL, HIS NAME, AND HIS
RELATIVES AGE ACCUSED.

RELATIVES age ACCUSED.
To-:
Washington, Aug. 13 The cor
oner's jury today investigated the
case Of the colored boy, Campbell
Hall, who was found dead yester-
day morning at the house Of VIM.
Hammond, his relative, III Balls
court, in Northwest Washington.
Evidence was introduced showing
ill-treatment Of the boy. The jury
returned a verdict that Hall ''came
to his death by ill-treatment and the
deprivation Of proper food" The
jury recommended that Rose and
VIM. Hammond be held for the
grand jury.
The jury was out ten minutes
after hearing the testimony when
it brought in the verdict. The ev-
idence Of Or. Sterling Rufin
showed that the stomach and intes-
tines Of the dead boy were empty,
and all the evidence tended to
show that young Hall lad led
very miserable life and got very
little to eat.
A remarkable feature Of the
testimony was that Rose Hammond
was not only the beneficiary Of the
life insurance policy placed on Hall
but that his little brother, who died
two months ago, had his life insur-
ed for 5000, which amount was
paid to Rose, while another small
boy and a young man, who have
also been living at the Hammond's
house, also had their lives insured
in her favor.
THE BOY HAD BEEN WHIPPED.
Mrs. Alice Simmons, white Of
715 Third street north west, heard
the Hammonds whipping the boy
frequently. Two months ago she
had called to the colored people |
that if they did not stop whipping
the boy she would notify the police.
Ella Payne, colored, who lives
il the house adjoining that Of the
Hammonds, said she had heard that
the child's mother was dead and .
that his father had left him at the
r4assss sEiSIi Il le .3'5s u l51.0fli1 fl
er died in June she had not gone in
the house, because when she had
spoken to Rose Hammond about
badly treating the boys Rose had
cursed her. She said She had often
heard blows in the Hammond house
md heard little Campbell Hall cry
ng. She had given the boy bread
because when she threw crumbs to
he chickens in her yard the boy
would pick up the crumbs and ca
gerly devour them. When he
would bring meat home Rose Ham
nond would take it away and beat
lim. She could tell by the blows
hat they were given on the naked
flesh, and she had seen the COW
hide that was used. On one occa-
sion the little boy was upstairs with
his hands tied.

GOLD BUGS WALK OUT,

So the free coinage sentiment in the
Butler county convention at Hamilton,
Ohio, was too much for the Brice men.
E1-Gov. Campbell and Congressman Sorg
walked out and organized rump con-
vention, and 10 doing so they unwittingly
gave their opponents very decided ad-
vantage in that their action shows the
regular convention to have been for free
coinage and clearly beyond the control
of the gold bug element Of the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is we'll for the cause Of
free coinage that the goldites should have
initiated the walk-out, fer by this act the
weakness of their cause is admitted and
the regular party organization stands in
tact backed by straight Democrats every
where. This is the first split that has
beer caused In Democracy's ranks on the
financial issue and the malcontents are
80 notoriously welded to the gold stand
ard, and have made such bungling job
in their efforts to force it upon the ma
iority of their party, that We believe the
effect will be good throughout the whole
country. It will set the free coinage
Democratic to working more earnestly to
ascertain their strength, prior to going
into convention, that they may secure
victories similar to the regulars at Ham.

ALL the signs indicate that the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad system will rapidly
be extended from Santa Fe to Cerrillos
and thence southwark through the very
heart of New Mexico to Texas and the gulf.
Then the capital city of New Mexico, no
longer side-tracked but holding COM
manding position on one of the most
important steel thoroughfares of the
western country, will certainly come to
the front as the leading commercial,
mining and residence center of this re-
gion. This was clearly ordained by
nature, but for years natures plan has
been measureably defeated by deficient
transportation facilities.

An influence for Good.

Agricultural colleges are primarily de-
signed to give the rising generation of
farmers scientific and practical know
ledge of their future life work. Such an
education is of far more Importance in a
country like this, where agriculture is
conducted by means of artificial irriga-
ton, and whereby it can be reduced to
an exact science, than it could possibly
be in those sections where rainfall is de-
pended upon. The New Mexico college
is we'll prepared to furnish the young men
of our country with scientific and prac-
teal knowledge. This, however, is but a
part of the province of that institution.
There is department to mechanic arts,
wherein is taught an accurate and prac-
tical knowledge of mathematics and, in
addition thereto, is literary department,
wherein students can acquire an educa-
ton to fit them for the general battle of
life. This college is destined to WELD an
influence for good in New Mexico that
can not be computed. That influence
will be felt the quicker and more percep.
tibly by prompt and liberal patronage
on the part Of our people. Roswell Rec

PINE BLUFF HAS THE HONOR
Of Making the First Shipment of New
 Cotton, by All Rail, in Arkansas.

When it comes to handling cotton Pine Bluff is always to the fore, for the city is situated in the heart of the finest and best cotton producing country in the world, and in our midst lives the larqest, wealthiest and most active cotton buyers in the State, and they are ever striving to hold up our town as the best cotton market in the South, and that they succeed there is no question, for here it is that producers.can always get the very best of prices.
 To the firm of s. c. Alexander & Co.,, this year, belongs the honor of making the first shipment of this seasons cotton, by all rail, in the State. This shipment, which con sisted of 200 bales, was made, via the Cotton Belt, to New England mills on yesterday, the 24th inst.
 The firm of s. c. Alexander $ Co., is one of tho best known cotton firms in Arkansas. It's members are thorough cotton men and under stand their business in every detail. The firm is also magnificently pre- pared to handle the enormous quantities of cotton that yearly passes through it hands, for during the last summer season it had built mammoth fire proof warehouse, which is now known as the Ear mers Warehouse, where cotton is stored.
 The warehouse is 154 by 100 feet in dimension, is thoroughly ventil- ated, we'll lighted and most conven- tent. It is so near fire-proof that insurance companies give it rate of one and one-half per cent. To our country friends we will say, bring your cotton to Pine Bluff. The competition is greater here than elsewhere in the State ard you will get the best prices in consequence. Our warehouses are the largest and best to be found in Arkansas, and our business men will sell you goods at phenomenally low rates. Come to Pine Bluff. It is the city in which to do business.
