An Artistic Piece of Work.

Few of our people know that Pine
Bluff has in her limits maker of
musical Instruments. of such beauty
OF finish and sweet melody and har-
muny OF tone that the Instruments
command n ready market. Such is
the fact. however. His name is
Frank Henry. and he is carpenter
by trade. On last evening GRAPHIC
reporter WAS shown guitar which
Mr.. Henry had Just finished, and it
was one OF the handsomest instru-
ments the reporter had ever seen.
The tone and volume of the guitar
WAS sweet and wonderful. The in
strument was made of native wal
nut and white pine, with n splendid
finish. The instrument was made
by Mr.. Henry with ordinary carpen-
ter's tools, and the correct sound,
shape and size ol the instrument
stamps the maker as Il man of genius.
He has made numbers of guitars and
one violin. He was given an order
for violin last night. and he says
that it will be his best and most
successful effort.

War News.

CoNsTANTISOPLE April 24.-Hhe
latest advices from the seat of war
indicate that the Greek forces have
penetrated into the Turkish territory
reaching near Elassonia, Mount
Olympus. which is most serious news
for the Turks if true. An official
dispatch dated today from the Turk
ish commander of the army corps at
JANA. Epirus. announces that after
a desperate battle, lasting over
seven hours, the Turks captured
Fort Beshphoumar. where the Greeks
were intrenched after crossing the
frontier and advancing along the
river Luro. The news received here
from Epirus is most serious. The
Greek division which defeated the
Turks at Fillippiada is continuing
its march on Janina, near which
place strong Turkish force has
gathered, and an important battle
will most likely be fought. The most
alarming news received from Epirus
is that four battalions of Albanians
belonging to the Luros division OF
the Turkish army, mutinied, and are
said to have deserted to the Greeks.

BLUFF ARKANSAS. SATURDAY MORNING APRIL
PROTECTION FOR AMERICANS.
United states suadron of Five ships In the
Mediterranean.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 25.-When
it became apparent that war between
Greece and Turkey was inevitable
Admiral Selfridge. commanding the
American fleet in Turkish waters,
was ordered to keep his squadron
along the Turkish coast and to
Invoid the neighborhood of the for
eign fleets, in order that the United
States might not he brought into
contact with the powers in their re-
lations to the war.
The danger that may necessitnte
activity of the fleet is the possibility
of an outbreak occurring in Turkey
should its troops meet with decisive
reverses, in which event all foreign
ers would, it is believed. in danger,
and especially Americans, who, since
the Armenian outrages have been
looked upon by Turks with an un-
friendly eye.
The Senate resolution ofsympathy
presented by Mr.. Cameron last win
ter,is also understood to have aggra-
waited the Turks and to have increas-
ed their antipathy toward this gov
eminent. Four ships comprise the
sqadron, and by May Is another, this
Raleigh, will be on hand Five ships
are said to be required to give ade
quate patrol to the long stretch of
Turkish coast, and to visit the con-
sulates and communicate with the

CoNsrANTISoPLE, April 4.-As pre-
yiously announced the Turkish gov
eminent some days ago called upon
Bulgaria to break OFF all diplomatic
relations with Greece and expel the
Greeks from Bulgarian territory.
The Bulgarian government took the
matter under consideration, and 1t
is now announced that she has de-
clined to comply, declaring that she
will observe neutrality during the
war between Turkey and Greece.
This refusal Of Bulgaria to
acknowledge her vassalage to Turkey
is regarded as foreshadowing the
declaration OF independence OF Bull
garia.

Hard on The Taxpayers.

A most reprehensible condition OF
affairs exist in this county and city.
For example land the examples are
of daily occurrance): A negro steals
a shirt, q warrant is sworn out for
him, he Is arrested and all the way
fro m 30 to 100 witnesses are sum
moned. These witnesses get SD
per day. It's good thing for them.
They are all up to it, and the justice
court, several of them, are thus kept
busy all the time. True tbs in accor-
dance with law, but the law ought
to be changed, or something done
to remedy this horrible condition OF
affairs. No wonder our taxes never
get lower. Commercial
The above, article, taken from the
Commercial, is an error from
beginning to end, and TO have been
written by one who claims to be a
lawyer-editor, shows woetul
ignorance of the laws oil
the state in which ne resides.
1t also does the community
gross injustice from the fact that
it is misleading and may cause many
Jurors 10 acquit offenders against
the law merely because the Jurors
do not want the county stuck for
heavy costs.
The truth is this county only pays
the costs when criminals are con
victed of felony, and a felony, ol
theft, is when the article stolen Is
worth more than SO.
The costs of convictions for misde
meanors are paid by the lessees o.
the county prisoners, and in the enc
the criminals work out their costs
and not a cent of the cost is paid b5
the taxpayers. In cases where there
is no conviction, there is no cost.
Another error the Commercial
makes is when it asserts that VII
pesses in misdemeanor cases are al
lowed 81 so per day for attendance
The truth is, they are only allowed
80 cents per day.
We would advise our neighoor U
familiarize himself with the statutes
Of the State before he begins Il
critieise them.

CAPTURED AT LAST!
THE RAvlsHER OF CHARLES
WALLS DAUGHTER IN THE
CLUTCHES OF THE
Law.
He Was Arrested at Hot Springs
After Committing a Crime
in That City.

It is now almost a certainty tina
the fiend who outraged the little 10
year-old daughter of Charles Walls
near this city, a few weeks ago, will
meet with a merited punishment al
the hands of the law. He has beer
captured, and is now in the State
renitentiary for safe keeping. He
was captured at Hot Springs after
committing a burglary in that city.
The criminal and rapist is an
escaped negro convict, and his name
is Coleman Flemming, alias "Fluke''
Flemming.
Friday night Chief Stewart, OF
this city, received a telephone mes
sage from a Hot Springs officer,
asking If negro had recently COM
mitted a rape in this vicinity, and
stating that man had been ar
rested there charged with burglary;
that he told his captors that he was
an escaped convict, and was also
wanted in Pine Bluff for rape.
Chief Stewart, on being given a
description of the prisoner, told the
Hot Springs officer that the tale
was true. Saturday Chief Stewart
received another message from the
Hot Springs officer, saying that
Flemming had been carried to Little
Rock and turned over TO the pen
itentiary authorities.
A bench warrant for the rapist
will be issued by the jefferson coun.
ty authorities and he will be brought
here for Identification and trial.
A short time ago a negro answer
ing to the description of the rapist
was arrested at Mcneil and brought
here for Identification, but he was
not the man, and was released. This
time, however, the guilty man has
been captured, and the law will
cause his neck TO be broken. So
may it be.
Readers of the GRAPHIC will ie-
member Flemming's terrible crime;
how or one morning a few weeks
ago he met two little negro girls
walking down the Valley railroad
track, near the Smart place, three
miles west of this city; how he, by
threats of death, frightened one OF
the children away, and then seized
the other girl, a daughter of Charles
Walls, reputable colored man,
and carried her into the bushes and
accomplished his horrible purpose.

John is the negro who has been
stealing so many sets OF harness in
this city, and who was aided and
abetted in his raseality by white
men who bought the stolen harness
from him for one-fourth it's value.
John first stole a set OF buggy har-
ness from DR.. Withers. This harness
he sold. or almost gave away to
Mr.. Silbernagle. capt. J. b. York

for one night his fine buggy harness
was stolen. John sold this harness
to Mr.. b. Culpepper,for it is said, the
sum OF $3.50 Mr.. Chestnut was the
next victim of the notorious thief. he
lost "a fine guitar. which the thief
sold tn an italian of this city. A
few days ago John. feeling a little i'll
the need OF funds, and il being
against his inclination TO honestly
earn 1t. stole another set OF har-
ness. The last victim was Mr. Vim.
Davis. This harness was carried to
Altheimer. While trying to sell 1t at
that Elace he was arrested and
brought back here when heeonfessed
his crimes, and will go to the penis
tertiary. People can not be too
careful how they purchase articles
from negros and strange White
people, especially SO when the arti-
cles are offered for less than one
fourth their true value.
