THE JUDGE WAS MERctF0L.
Six Men Brought Before the Police Court
 on the Charge of vagrancy.

on the Charge of Vagraney.
 Saturday morning six white men, after spending a portion of the night in the calaboose, were brought before the Police Court on the charge of vagraney. These men were arrested in the Western suburb of the city about i o'clock Saturday morning while sitting around camp fire.
 The first case called was that of Wm. Boyle. When asked what he had to say as to the charge of vag- rany against him, Boyle said he supposed that he was guilty, as he had no money and was out of work; that he was common laborer; that the last regular work he had was in Chicago; that since that time he had done odd jobs wherever he could get them, and work of all des- criptions being scarce in the North, he came South in the hopes of find ing work, but he so far had failed. Judge Brown find him s.
 Frank Wilder was the next case called. Wilder supposed that he was also a vagrant in the eyes of law-he had no money and was out of work. By trade he was a tele- graph operator and railroad brakeman. He said that he was thrown out of work in Chicrgo by the A. R. U. strike, and was on what is known as the railroadiblack- list; that since that time he had been unable to hold regular job, for as soon as it was found out by the officials of the railroad that he was at work he was discharged. He had about given up thel hope of ever getting telegraph or railroad work to do, but was now looking for any kind of work. Work of all kind in the North was very scarce and being familiar with saw mil work he had come here to see if ht could not find something to do ir that line. He said that he was not asprofessional tramp bysnature, but the circumstances had made one o. him. All that he asked was a fail showing. He would accept any kind of labor rather than tramp the country. He arrived in Pine Bluff last night and joined camping party in the West End. Soon after he got there, an officer on horse back approached the party and told the campers that It would be al right if they remained there anC that they would not be molested that the man was riding spotted horse. The officer left and sool sent two policemen to arrest th' party. The officer that betrayed the campers after telling them tha it was "all right and that the. could stay there" proved to b
 Deputy Constable George Carr Judge Brown took Wilder's cas
 under advisement.
 The next vagrant was Henry Pau
 lett. He hailed from Illinois. Tn last work he had was a month age He was trying to get to Louisian
 to work on 9 sugar plantation. Hi
 case was taken under advisement b the Judge.

 ley County.

ley County.
 The Warren Democrat gives the following particulars of an incident that is exciting the people of that section:
 Last Friday night, at the home of B. F. Thomson, few miles north of Warren, the young people of that section congregated there to have a dance Later in the night several of the young people were taken violently ill with severe cramp- ings. It was found that bucket of drinking water had been drugged. The drug used k supposed to have been tincture of eantharides, or as it is commonly termed, Spanish flies, and that it was used with felonious intent by some miscreant who was present on thai occasion. The citi- zens of that community are very much exercised over the matter. and are so indignant that such diabol- ical outrage should have been attempted that il is safe to say that if the guilty party is caught he will be given his inst deserts. No one short of an incarnate devil would attempt to pcrpetrate a deed so black and damnable. and every effort possible should be put forth to ferit ont the wretch who did such a thing.-Warren Democrat-News.

AN IMPORTANT ARREST,
Officer Francis Captures a CounterfeIter Viii Roll of Bogus Money on His
 Person.

At an early hour this morning a white mon stopped on the corner of Main street and Second avenue, at the fruit stand conducted by Joe Krumpner, and purchased % cents worth of tobacco, and in payment rendered a $5 bill. The woman in charge could not make the change, so she passed down the street, going from store to store, endeavoring to get the bill changed, until she met Policeman Francis, when she asked him to change it. The officer at once saw that the bill was a ccun- terfeit. He then questioned the woman as to how it came into her possession. She told him the cir cumstances At the officers request the woman returned with him and pointed out the owner of the bill, and he was placed under arrest. He gave his name as Will Goodman. He was carried to the police station and searched, and on his person was found thirty-fve counterfeit$ $5 bills and $4.35 in silver money.
 The man refused to talk or tell anything about himself.

For a great many years the Dem oerats and Republicans of Jefferson county joined in the support of a fusion county ticket. h 1894 MT. Adams, of the Pine Bluff GRAPHIC, opposed any more fusion tickets in that county, while Mr. Murry, of the Press Eagle, favored the propo- sition. The GRAPHIC is now Loyalty supporting the Democratic-P Populist fusion electoral ticket and the Press Eagle is opposing it. But this is 1896.

In reference to fusion, the Russell vile Democrat says: So far as Ar kansas is concerned, of course, there was no necessity for fusion, as this StaGe was known to be safe for at least 50, 900 majority for the Demo- cratic electors. But it was con fdently believed that the effect of fusion in Arkansas upon several close States will be so great as to make the sacrifice upon the part of the Democrats fully justifiable. The addition of the name of Mr Sover- eign to the electoral ticket will add great strength to our cause in other States. The Democrat does not hesitate to say that it believes this acton was best, under all the cir cumstaces. From a sentimental standpoint, we should have been as much opposed to fusion as any one could be, but there is very little sentiment in this campaign against McKinleyism. It is plair business. The lines of this battle are closely drawn. It is a fight O the people against the favored classes, the combines and monopo lies of the country. In such a com bat it is necessary that all the oplt be united and present a bold from to the enemy. By so doing, Bryar and the cause of justice ant humanity will win. "
