THAT SATURDAY HOLIDAY.
Why II Was Inaugurated by the Rail-
road Company.
Done to Avoid Reducing the Number
Of Men During the Dull
Season.

4 San Francisco paper of yesterday,
referring to the Saturday lay-off in
augurated by the Southern Pacific Com
pany among its workshops, says:
With a few individual exceptions all
the men in the shops at Sixteenth street,
this city, Sacramento, Oakland, Wads-
worth, Ogden, Portland, Los Angeles,
Tucson and Ell Paso will be affected
The exceptions will be some few men at
Oakland, Sacramento and at Los Ange-
les who will work every day in the week
as usual until the work they are behind
in is finished. At Sacramento alone
2,200 will be laid off every Saturday.
The number of men, all told, on the
lines west of Ell Paso whom this order
affects is about 1900.
General Manager Kruttschnitt says it
IS a matter of necessity.
Business ON the road is very dull,
said he yesterday afternoon in talking
about the matter In the summer
months transportation always falls off
to some extent, but this year the
decrease is larger than usual. Our earn
ings are very light now, SO expenses
have got to be kept down to the lowest
possible notch. We do not wish to dis
helped. By cutting off a days pay for
ali - them we can economize and still
Si>, 81 the men an equal show at en-
rlcyment. There is a general stagnation
in business, and the railroads feel it
probably sooner than other concerns.
Business men in San Francisco know
how dull times are, and l have just re-
turned from New Orleans and the East,
where business is very poor now. Unless
the Texas cotton crop gets rain it will be
injuriously affected"
rs it true the company is decreasing
expenses to the lowest point to await
the outcome of the forthcoming cam
paign for free silver?' was asked of the
gentleman.
NO" replied he. I'VE had in view our
present retrenchment before the Chi
cago Convention met. l don't doubt,
though, that pending the settlement of
the tariff and monetary questions the
general business of the country will be
more or less depressed. Hence the rail-
roads will be affected. I have my own
private views on these questions, but do
not wish to express them. / am not
politician. Just as soon as business
improves the men will be put on full
time. AS it is the men will work the
usual number of hours for five days a
week"

TOM CARROLL IS A WONDER.
Beats His Worlds Sixteen Pound Ham
mer Record.
He Also Beats the Eight-Pound Ham
mer Record by Fifty
Four Feet.

The crowds, if not the clans, gathered
at East Park Yesterday afternoon to
see Tom Carroll, champion hammer
thrower of the world, give an eXhlb1-
ton of his strength and skill. Before
the try Carroll was very modest and
stated that he did not expect to smash
records, but was out merely TO snow
the people what a hammer-tnroWer
looked like when he got in motion.
But records were really smashed Tor
all that, and with such ease that those
same official records look insignificant.
For the sake of the world OF sport, IT Is
to be deplored that care was not taken
to make the trial official.
Carroll stripped well. He is one OF
those men who do not show their points
when full dressed. He was as brown as
q nut, and his muscles were like steel.
He smiled as he stepped into the ring
and fondled the 16-pound hammer
which was destined soon to take a
flight through space farther than
hammer of light weight was ever put
by man.
The worlds record, made by Carroll
On Friday last, was 1o3 feet inches.
snd he had NO intention of eclipsing it,,
but
The hammer whirled through the air,
gathering velocity with every revolu-
ton, and fell 145 feet from the edge of
the ring-eight feet short of the worlds S
record. 1t looked as though no record
would be touched, but when the second
try landed the hammer 149 feet from
&he line the lovers of sport-and there
were many present-began to warm up
and look sharp for what was to fol-
low.
The next effort was discoura ging.
just before being loosed the hammer
struck the ground and the throw was
declared a balk But the balk seemed
to arouse the Scottish blood in the
champion, and his muscles stood out in
great knots before the heavy iron was
let loose for the fourth time. A few
people present let out a yell as a cloud
of dust arose where the hammer fell,
but it is safe to say that not one per-
son out of fifty realized that they had
seen a 16-pound hammer thrown 164
feet il inches, or IL feet inches far
ther than it had ever before been
thrown by man.
Tom Carroll took his victory as a
matter OF course, ana Inen turned MS
attention to the 14-pound hammer.
which he hurled twice. The throws
were not, however, measured, as there
is no record for hammers of that
weight and as a conclusion the cham
pion picked up an S-pound hammer,
which he proposed to throw with one
hand.
The official record for the one-hand
throw of the S-pound hammer is held
by Dowden of the New York Athletic
Club and is POS feet. The giant Car
roll swung the metal around his head
until it looked like a continuous circle
and when loosed it struck 2G2 feet
from the line. beating Dowden's worlds
record the astounding distance of 81
feet.
1t is unfortunate that the throw was
not official, for it is possible that Car
roll may never again be in condition
10 throw a hammer as far as he did at
East Park yesterday afternoon.

HOL W 2 GR1GE


 The GRAPHIC is authorized to an nounce Col. w. P. Grace as a candi- date for State Senator from this, the Eleventh District, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries on April 28. Col Grace is an old and highly esteemed citizen of this county. Heis native of Kentucky, having been born in Caldwell county November g, 1922, and is, therefore, in his 74th year When a young man Col. Grace located in Pine Bluff and began the practice of the law and has been prominently identified with the interests of this city, county and State since thai period. In 1852 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney of this district and served one term, declining reelection. In 1856 he was an elector for the Whig party, and in 1860 was an elector on the Douglass presidential ticket, at which time he made an active canvass of the State. After the breaking out of the civil war Col
 Grace was made a delegate To the Arkansas Secession Convention of 1861, and as Chairman of the Com mittee on Ordinances, drafted the or dinanee 0f secession which took Ar kansas out of the Union. During the war he was appointed commis- sary of the military staff of Arkan- sas and was at the battle of Oak Hill, button account of failing health was compelled to relinquish active military duty and return to this city, since which time he has de voted his time and talents to the practice of his profession. Some years ago he entered into a copart- nership with his nephew, Hon. A. B. Grace, in the practice of the law, and this legal firm today stands at the head of the Pine Bluff bar. Col. Grace, throughout his active life, has participated in many of the Heading legal battles in this section, and is renowned throughout the State as Q lawyer, advocate and orator During recent years Col. Grace served several terms as Pres ident of the Arkansas State Fem peranee Alliance during the life of that organization, and is the author of much of the temperance legisla- tien now upon the statute books.
 By reason of his familiarity with
 the statute laws of the State, his age and experience, Col Grace would, if nominated and elected, make.the pepIe of this Senatorial dis trict and the State an able legisla- tor and a fearless and eloquent ad- voeate in the upper branch of the General Assembly of Arkansas.

stances at least, but fail to find any judicial precedent which holds that un- der statute similar to that of this state husband with impunity could be guilty of the desertion of his wife merely because he believes her, even under grayely suspicious circumstances, to have been guilty of adultery. De sertion is justified only when it is shown by clear and satisfactory proof that the doserting party has been so of fended against as to authorize his in. stant decree for divorce or judicial separation.

Fatal Gas Explosion In a
 Pennsylvania Mine.
ALL OF THE BODIES RECOVERED.

Two of the Bodies Were Terribly Mu-
 tiIated, but the Others Were suffocated
 by Foul Gas-The Cause of the Aeci-
 dent Is Supposed to Have Been an
 Accum uIatiOn of Gas.
 DUBOIS, March 24.-A terrific explo- sion occurred at the Berwind-White shaft in the eastern limits of this oity yesterday and 16 miners were killed.
 Nineteen men went on at o'clock in the morning, 15 going into the north heading and into the south heading. At about 10 o'clock the four men were sensible of q shock and few minutes later the mineboss came and told them something had happened and to get out as soon as they could.
 Assistance was immediately sum- moned and all practical miners from the Bell Lewis and Yates companies mines volunteered their services.
 As the work of rescue proceeded it was found that the shock in the north heading was so terrific that some of the bodies were mutilated almost beyond recognition. Nearly all of the bodies had been found at D. m., but they had only been brought to the foot of the shaft where they were collected prepar- atory to being hoisted to the surface.
 Fifteen dead bodies have so far been recovered, The bodies of George and Henry Harvey were badly mutilated, but the balance had evidently been suf- located by foul gas.
 The cause of the terrible accident is not positively known, but is supposed to have been an accumulation of gas.
