Congressman Dinsmore was unable
to get special appropriation for the
protection of the river front near River
side Addition, as was hoped some time
ago, and it now becomes necessary to
see that sufficient portion of an appro-
priation of $780, in which Van
Buren,, Pine Bluff, Dardanelle and Fort
Smith are mentioned as shareholders, is
expended here. The government
engineer in charge of the improvements
of the Arkansas River will have the
disposition of the use to which the
money shall be put.
At the meeting of the ex Confederates
at the court house last Saturday a
reorganization of the camp was
perfected by electing John Allen,
captain Geo. T. Maddox, LIST lieu
tenant; H. B. Hale, I'd lieutenant; j,
T. Jones, Sd lieutenant, and J. A.
Kimbrough, adjutant The camp was
named after Gen. Mcintosh, who was
killed at the the battle of Pea Ridge.
One of the objects of the organization
will be the care of the graves of Con-
federate dead in Crawford county.
Our cemetery alone contains mounds
under which sleep four hundred old
Confederates.
Rev. J. P. Maurel has resigned the
pastorate of the Catholic Church in Van
Buren, and will leave for France in a
few days, where he will reside in the
failure. Several years ago Father
Maurel had charge of the Catholic
Church in this city and has many
friends here whose best wishes will
accompany him to the old world
Fayetteville Sentinel.
Father Maurel leaves for his home in
the southeastern part Of France next
Tuesday. The main cause for his
return to his native home is the bad
health of his sister, which he hopes will
be improved by the change. Father
Maurel has been in the United States
for thirty four years and in charge of
the Van Buren, pastorate for thirteen
years past, during which time he has
made many friends among our citizens,
whose best wishes will accompany him
on his way to his old home. Father P.
Enright, of Jenny Lind, will succeed
Father Maurel in the pastorate, but it
is not expected that he will reside here.
Our city was treated to surprise,
and one not pleasant to contemplate,
last Saturday morning Mr.. Chas.
Siegenhain, an employ Of the new
tobacco manufacturing company, was
struck down and robbed of $1S. so the
night before while returning to his
room in the second story of the
Adamant factory building, in which
the tobacco concern is located. Mr.. S.
had been up town and was returning
about 9:15 O'Clock Friday evening.
when Just as he was about to step on
the sidewalk, after crossing the railroad
yards, he was felled by blow across
the left side of the forehead. The thug
then went through his pockets and
departed without Mr.. s. having seen
him. The robbery was undoubtedly
committed by someone acquainted with
the habits of Mr.. S. and knew that he
generally carried money-having been
for sometime collecting for Mr.. W. Il.
Hayman. The officers have been
diligently investigating and have some
clews.

Af1RYLiED DEMOCRATS.

Baltimore, June 10.-Tke democratic
state convention was called to order
shortly after noon in Ford's opera house
by H. w. Talbot, chairman of the
state central committee. He said only
a few words before introducing Hon.
Arthur p. German as temporary chair
man. The senator was escorted to the
stage amid volley of cheers and other
demonstrations of favor. Mr.. German
inveiehed against Mckinley and his
protection ideas; urged the democrats
to harmonic their indifferences, and
concluded his address with the state
ment that the convention should elect
delegates to the national convention
with the view of keeping the financial
standing of the state at a high stand
ard.
This sentiment was understood to be
in favor of the sound money men, and
they applauded it, while the white met
al men looked disguised.
The silver men offered a resolution
with Viev.~Qf having an open discus
sion of all resolutions presented to the
convention before they should be refer
red to a committee. but it was voted
down by their opponents, who favored
everything going to the committee on
resolutions without discussion.
Committees on credentials and reso-
lutions were appointed, and the con-
Vention took a recess.
After recess the committee on creden~
tails and permanent organization rec
commended the selection of Senator
German as permanent chairman. The
report was unanimously adopted. The
senator, in thanking the convention for
the honor, said the party would have a
hard contest in carrying the state next

erges to organizing the democratic
party of Maryland so well that the
, state would hereafter be found in the
democratic column.
The chairman of the committee on
| resolutions reported in favor of tariff
reform as enunciated in the Chicago
platform of 1892, and endorsed Pres-
dent Cleveland. In relation to the
| financial question, the report favored
| the gold standard, and opposed the free
coinage of silver at 16 to l.
The reading of the majority report
| was greeted with cheers and Kisses
| Upon its conclusion Mr.. Stewart of Tai

| five members of the resolutions COM
mittee, in which they gave expression
| to financial views directly opposed to
what Mr.. Stewart termed the gold
| bugs and demanded the free coinage
| of silver. The minority report was Of
| fered as a substitute for the financial
plank of the majority report, but it was
rejected.
| The financial plank of the platform as
adopted is as follows:
| believing that the true interests of
the people require that the earnings of
agriculture and trade and the wages of
labor should be paid in money that IS
| intrinsically worth in all the markets
of the world what it purports to be
worth, we demand the maintenance of
the existing gold standard of value, and
further, that the government shall keep
all it's obligations at all times redeem
able and payable in money of the great
est intrinsic value and of the highest
standard adopted by the civilized ma
tions of the world, and we therefore
resolutely oppose the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to IL

Fortune Left to a Child,

Guanajuato, Mexico, June 1O.-A let
ter was received here from John T.
Rowland of Black Creek, N. Y, a few
days ago inquiring as to the where
abouts or fate of his son, Henry Row
land. An investigation was made
which shows that a young man of the
name Of Henry Rowland arrived here
about seven years ago, and two years
later married the daughter of a wealthy
Mexican ranchman of the name of
Guerrero, living near here. His wife
died three years ago, leaving a young
child, and Rowland died d few months
ago.
The child inherited property to the
value of 100000 from its mother, and
as it has no near relatives in Mexico,
it will be sent to its grandparents in
New York to be taken care of until it
comes into possession Of it's fortune.

On this account, if it treats lightly the
