Big Damage Suit.

In the case of Stroud vs. Iron Noun tain and Southern railway, heard in Hot Spring circuit court, a verdict for s4,o00 was rendered for the plaintiff Stroud, the plaintiff, was an employe of the defendant company up to the big strike in 1894, when he joined the strikers. He claimed the company had blacklisted him, and prevented him from getting employment elsewhere, and that afterward, when he attempted to board train at Little Rock for Hot Springs he was assaulted by the com pany's watchman and driven from the depot. At former trial of the case the jury failed to agree.

ACROSS THE DIVIDE.
Freighting Across Chilcoot Pass
 Costs Twenty Cents a Pound.
OLD PROSPECTORS ARE TURNING BACK.
Not Afraid of the Hardships, But Appre. hensive of the Famine that Can Not Fail to Follow the Hesdlong
 Rush to the Mines.

DYEA. Alaska, Aug. 4 VIA SEATTLE. Wash. Aug. 12.-The British steamers Islander and Gees have arrived with about 800 prospectors, which increases the number on the Dyea and Skaguay trails to fully l,500. Later reports have come in to the effect that the Skaguay route is open to the lakes, and that it is about A miles long. It is a zig gag course over the mountains and the road is very soft. There are 200 or 300 head of horses on the trail, and they will soon tramp it's road in deplora- ble condition.
 The probability of one man in ten reaching the Klondike is remote. Old Alaska prospectors, some of whom have wintered in the lukon and know what to expect, are becoming fright ened and turning back. Not that they fear the hardships, but that they are apprehensive of famine on account of so many men rushing headlong to the mines without enough provisions to last them three months.
 The best evidence that those upon the ground regard the situation with more or less alarm is the fact that many are paying 20 cents per pound to have freight packed across Dyea pass. This is an increase of three cents per pound since the sailing of the Alkali, at which time 16 and r cents were charged. Twenty cents is the regular rate over the Dyea or Chilcoot pass route.
 This increase and exorbitant charge is due to scarcity of horses. Without pack animals of some description it appears to be next to impossible at this season to get freight and outfits across the divide.

A Novel Vehicle.

Emanuel Rogers, of Hot Springs. has invented novel vehicle, which is pro- pelled somewhat on the same principle as tricycle.. It has three wheels, two in the rear and one in front, a seat being above the rear wheels. Besides using his feet in propelling himself, there are two upright wooden rods con- nected with the gear and sprocket, which the occupant works with his hands. The inventor recently made the trip from Hot Springs to Little Rock on his machine, and claims to be able to outdistance the electric cars on a straight course.

THE LOSS OF THE MEXICO.
She Was Wrecked at the Entrance to Sltka
 Harbor-All Hands Saved.

VICTORIA, E. C., Aug. 12.-The steam CT Mexico, which was wrecked at the entrance of Sitka harbor at a. m. on August 5, had been running at half speed because of the dense fog until a few moments before a rock was struck. Pilot Cornell then rang for full steam ahead, and soon after there was terrific shock on the star board quarter. So great was the momentum that the ship was carried through the reef, which, it is believed, was the West Devil rocks, and into the deep water beyond.
 Instantly there was a call of the crew, and without the slightest con- fusion the 75 passengers on board were safely placed in the ships boats. Soon after the vessel struck the heavy fog cleared, and it was bright and sun shiny before she went down.
 There was no excitement on board. The passengers and watch below were awakened by the shock. The alarm was quickly given and all were quickly dressed and reassured by the coolness of the officers and awaited their turns to enter the boats. The vessel was valued at about S100, 900.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS,
ENGINEER HANET
Gives An Estimate of the Probable Cost Of Locating state Road Through
 the Mineral Belt.

of Locating a state Road Through
 the Mineral Belt.
 Engineer Haney, appointed by the state board of railrood construction to ascertain the cost of locating and mak- ing survey of road from Little Rock to the Missouri line through the min eral belt, has submitted the following report:
 The distance will approximate leo miles, and 1t is quite certain that not less than 300 miles of instrumental surveys will be required to ar rive at final location or choice of the route A thorough reconnaissance covering the entire area of possible divergences Of routes between the two terminals should not cost exceeding $500 The probable cost Of location to the point of adoption of definite route will approxi- mate sl6 GOO This will include a complete en- gineering and camping equipment ard sub sistance of the party in the field. The cost of engineering the construction to completion of track-laying, including field and office equip ments is estimated at s60,O0O This estimate may vary one way or the other as much as 9 per cent. and may even exceed 90 per cent, de- pending upon the diligence with which the work is prosecuted by the state as well as the development of at present unknown difficulties in the was of the construction The future success of the system of railroaGs which the board is now about to inaugurate will depend very largely upon their economic location. The importance of this fact cannot be exaggerated Notwithstanding the saving of cost Of labor by the use of the states conviets and the advan- tage of exemption from taxation. if these roads are to compete successfully with existing lines owned by experienced, powerful and wealthy allies the most careful attention must be given to their alignment and grades.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN ALASKA.
The United States Statutes Prohibiting the
 Sale of Liquor Steadily Ignored

 SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 12-A special to the Post-lntelligencer from Dyea. Alaska, August I, says:
 Although the United States statutes strictly prohibit the importation of liquor into Alaska for other purposes than for medicine, yet there are thou sands of gallons of alcohol, whisky and brandy being landed every week. A large part of it is being sh ipped to the Klondike. The worst kind of whisky finds ready sale to Indians fos. s bottle. In almost every bay or nook of land where Indians live are sloops from which whisky is sold in abundance. At Dyea and Skaguay, as well as Juneau, Wrangel and Sitka, are found many saloons running wide open.
 The government issues internal rev enue licenses and at the same time prohibits the importation and sale of liquors.
