 Last Saturday morning she broke her long standing record in the line by ush- ering into action a real live and up-to- date, road agent in the person of Hen ry Davis, colored.
 II. Donnie, an old and trustworthy employe, whose duty it is To act In the capacity of track walker between the points of Blacklish Siding and Quigley on the Little Rock and Memphis rail- way, was the intended victim of thls big hurley negro. On that morning as Donnie passed Cicalla going east. his assailant dropped ill and strolled in company with him in the same drec- tion. Davis had in his hand the handle of d large seed fork. from which all the tines had been broken, in a jagged manner. Something ill his manner and conversation warned Donnie that all was not right with this false com panion. Upon reaching T lonely spot mile beyond Cicalla, Davis demand ed that Donnie give up his watch and other possessions and emphasized his demand with vicious stroke at his in tended victim, with the weapon de- scribed. Fortunately Donnie avoided the stroke and realizing the danger, he at once laid aside his other tools and made bold defense of his person with the aX which he carries in his rounds, and also raised large amount of alarm in the way of lung power. At this juncture, A. F. Sardsn. a timber man, operating in that yacnity hap pened to be advancing upon the two men. unmOlested. and came to the res cue in time to get glimpse of the vil- han as he slunk into the jungle off the railroad dump. Sarden kept watch during the day and sure enough the highway stumbled up on Sarden's camp in the afternoon, nhereupon he was promptly arrested by Sarden who turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Landrum and ill company with the officer landed Davis behind the bars in the county jail late in the afternoon of the same day. He stood lis prelimi- nary trial before Squire Nelson Mon day and was bound over to await the action of the grand jury, in default of $500 bond. In his testimony Dothin5 in the least was learned of his history. The sum and substance of his testim0 ny was that lie claimed 10 hail from this city, yet he could furnish no ref erences, or knew no one in the town. He is about 30 years of age, dark brown, rather even features, though broad face, weighs about l65 pounds and IS about 5 feet, 6 inches in height.

MADISON TIM ES.
The river is Falling.

Mrs. F. NJ. Chaney wss quite sick the first of the week.
 Dr. Vim. Crutcher made a professional call at Madison, Monday. We heard that the noise coming from the gilded throat of a three-year old frog on Crow creek frightened him so that he declared that he would never make the trip alone again.
 Dr. c. c. White has made several calls here this week. Our friend Frank Wintker is greatly elated over the advent of an clever pound boy at his home. Frank says that he will give him job at the mill as soon as he can procure a suitable wheelbarrow for him. The mother is doing well.
 The Steamer Rosa arrived from Neely's ferry, Tuesday, with large tow of slaves for this market. Captain Spencer reported a pleasant trip.
 Maj. A. J. Carter, of Clarendon, was here Friday night. He has closed & con- tract with foreign capitalists to furnish them two millions of export slaves th;s season.
 Leon and Harve Wheeler went up the river Friday prospecting for timber After going some distance put in the bottom they desired to return but lost their way and were forced to lay out all night with out food or shelter and nothing to console them save the genial smile of an opossum that they captured in the rounds.
 Mrs. Spencer, of St. Francis, wife of Capt. J. A. Spencer, arrived here Satur- day night. She is accompanied by her in- teresting little daughter Rosa.
 One of the pleasing events of the week was conversations at the pleasant home of l.. II. McGufee, on Crow Creek.
 A candy stew at the cozy home of Mir. and Mrs. C. c. Hall, Wednesday night was greatly enjoyed by all present. The candy was made by Ed Nngent and it was such that it made ye scribe wish that he was allied to the giraffe.
 Miss Sarah Keener closed her school here Tuesday. It was by far tie most Interesting term ever taught. The work doue by the pupils was the most thorough that we have ever seen. Any school board would do well to procure the services of Miss heener, as she is a young lady Of superior scholarship and possesses in a marked degree that self control so neces. sary 10 the skiI(ul discp inarian. Capt Henry Swift was among the ar- rivals at the hotel this week. He had a very sad experience on Grand Lake. on tue morning of the l2;h of January. He had circus on board his boat, the Henri e'ta and had started across. After get ting about thirty miles from the shore the wind rose and the waves swamped the boat and she went down wilh 6 persons on board. But fortunately they we carry ing three light barges and the captain see ing that the boat was destined to 20 down ordered everybody to take refuge on them which all did except three women and six men who were so badly excited that it was impossible to do anything with them be- fore tue crew was forced to cut loose from the sinking boat and they drifted too far away to render any assistance to the drowning persons. The barges filled with water and those saved had been in the water for thirty-six hours waen rescued by Morgan line steamer. 1t will be re- membered that the Henrietta sank ten miles above here in the St. Francis river last summer.

GOLDEN-ua-
 @nEDICAL~ DISCOVERY.

The invention of Dr. R. " Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Iuvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. at Buffalo, N Y., has, during the past thirty years, made record in the cure of bronchial throat and lung diseases that fairly entities it 10 out rank all other advertised remedies for these affections. Especially has 1t manifested it's potency in curing consumption of the lungs.
 Not every case, but we believe
 Fully 0S Per Cent.
 of all cases of consumption, iii all its earlier stages, are cured by Dr. Picrce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after tEe disease has progressed so far as 10 induce repeated blcedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ- ing tubercular inatter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been SO pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever i'll mis- representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against trial of "Goldcn Medical Discovery. but who have been forced to confess that 1t surpasses, ill curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod. liver oil and its filthy einulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit. or had only seemed to benefit a little for short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of tine hypophos- phites had also been faithfully tried ill vain. The photographs of large number of those cured of consumption bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred nialadies, have been ckillfully reproduced in book of 1000 pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt fad dress and 2I cents in stamps to cover post age and wrapping onip You can then write those cured and learn their experience.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.-The visit Of
Count Goluschowsl1i, the Austro-H Hun
garian minister OF foreign affairs, to
King Humbert, at Monza, and It's at
tendant circumstances are regarded In
German political circles as being Of
the highest Importance. The ConserV-
alive and Agrarian newspapers inter
pref the visit as meaning a closer I'M
Outstanding between Austria-Hungary
and Italy and as a leaning Of those
two powers towards Great Britain
The leading organ Of the Agrarians
and Nationalist, the Deutsche Eel
tung, says: I'm this we are unable to
see anything but a weakening of our
diplomatic position. Under Prince Bis
marck our country was the mediator
between Russia, and Austria and Italy,
while France was isolated, and Eng
land was kept in check by Russia. The
Russo English irreconcilable contract
is still existing; but France has made
an agreement with Russia and Austria
has made one with both Italy and
Russia, in each case over our heads,
and the internal and foreign policy Of
Austria go hand in hand, under the
lead of two Poles, Badent and Golu-
chowski, who aim at the suppression
of German influence"
The Rundschau publishes an article
to the same effect, denouncing the du-
plicity of British statecraft, whereby
both Austria and Italy are gradually
becoming estranged from Germany"
An old diplomat of Berlin, who be-
longs to one Of the dreibund powers,
said to the correspondent Of the As
ISOLATED Press: Austria for several
years has been disappearing Of EN-
peror Williams foreign policy so far
as England is concerned, and the need
less provocation of England contained
in that famous message to President
Kruger has been seriously, If silently,
condemned by Austria's statesmen. The
same is true of Italy. Both Italy's and

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The speech Of
the Marquis of Salisbury at the guild
hall on Tuesday last, lord mayors day,
again proved him to be past master of
the art Of saying nothing in many
soothing words. 1t was essentially a
peace speech, and did not contain a
single indication as to how far the
government is prepared to go in In
dian, Egyptian, Soudan or Niger af-
fairs, beyond general what can be
done will be DONE" Even the sup
posed menace to France has since been
explained and was not intended to ex-
cite French feeling, but was merely to
give English public opinion mild salts
faction from a pretended bluff. The
premier's utterance on the subject of
