CRUSHED TO DEATH.
An Old Farmer Run Over by Train ON
tina Valley Road Near Dumas.

Saturday afternoon an old farmer
by the name of P. r. Boyd lost his
life in a horrible manner. He was
walking up the railroad track near
Dumas when he was overtaken by
the special train bearing General
Manager Doddridge and other Off
Gals OF the road on a tour of inspec-
ton. The engineer saw Boyd on the
track and gave the usual alarm sig
mails and expected him TO step from
the track every instant. The train
approached very near to the doomed
man, and as he still continued on
the track the engineer applied the
brakes, but too late, for Boyd was
run over and his life crushed out of
him.
Boyd has been a customer of the
Gould-Galbraith Co., of this city, for
years, and is well known to them as
an honorable old man, but a pecu-
liarly unfortunate one. About one
month ago he lost his wife. n few
days later he fell down and injured
his leg. He had hardly recovered
before he was badly scalded while
assisting in cleaning hogs.
The old man leaves a daughter of
about 10 years to mourn his death.

the history of our young lodge, we
are called upon to mourn the, loss of
one OF our Brothers.

.Iealous of What2

"The Daily Commercial of yester-
day accuses the GRAPHIC of jealousy.
In the name of mercy, jealous OF
what? The Commercial says because
it carries the advertisement of aIocal
firm which the GRAPHIC does not,
whereas il the Commercial man had
looked over the Sunday Morning
GRAPHIC he would have observed the
same ad. In the GRAPHIC. We beg to
assure our erratic and bombastic
evening contemporary that the
GRAPHIC is jealous of nothing the
Commercial has done or can do.
Only those who amount to some
thing or can accomplish something
are the subjects of jealousy or envy,
and we are quite certain the Conn
mercial is not of either class. It's
stock in trade is sensationalism and
vanitys and il lives by flattery and

A FIRE BUG SENTENCED.
Justice Alexander Ends the Career of
Arthur Hardie for Few Years

The laws OF Arkansas relating to
arson is very peculiar, for II man
sets fire to valuable property with
the intention OF burning it, and by
some means the fire is put out before
his purpose is accomplished, the
party can only be punished for a mis-
deamor, although to all intents and
purposes he is guilty of felony.
This kind of a case confronted
Magistrate Alexander this morning,
and the GRAPHIC heartily recon-
mends him for the able manner in
which he disposed of it.
Sunday night negro named
Arthur Hardie was seen 10 set fire to
the barn of Mr.. T.. E. Frazier, who
lives in Gulpepper's addition to Pine
Bluff. Hardie was arrested, and ON
being incarcerated he admitted that
he did set fire to the barn, but says
that another man whose name he
gave to the officers, gave him SIS
to set the barn on fire.
When Hardie plead guilty to the
crime Justice Alexander promptly
imposed fine of $500 on him and
sentenced him to the county farm for
two years.
BY the time Hardie works out the
sentence Of Imprisonment and the
f.-,.. I.
him for his crime was dearly earned.

LOST Cities.

Professor J. T. Howard, Robert
Warren AMI John F. Merrell, archae-
ologists of Chicago, who have been
spending the past three months in the
wild regions of the State OF Chlapas,
Mexico, relate a marvellous story OF
the discovery by them OF two ancient
cities. According to Professor How.
ard, they are situated in the midst OF
a forest of hardwood trees northwest
of the town of Coteapca.
The party travelled twenty five days
through the dense and almost I'M
penetrable forest before they cam0
upon the ruins Of the first city. The
two cities are about eight leagues
apart, and in their populous days each
must have contained fully 200, 600 in
habitants. The architecture is of the
style of the other ancient cities OF
Southeastern Mexico.
The party made large collection OF
ornaments, record tablets, etc., which
they are taking with them to Chicago.
