LOOK OUT FOR WAR.
The Commission is Ready to
Report on the Maine
Disaster.
THE COUNTRY RIFE FOR WAR.
Both Spanish and American War Yes
sells Heading for Cuban Waters,

The court of inquiry held its usua
session at Havana yesterday, anC
many witnesses we're examined
both foreign aud residents of Ha-
yana, as well as the divers who
rested off and on from their labors.
Neither the officers of the court
or the divers have given out any
thing for the public, and will not
until the same is put in. the hands
of the proper officer at Washington,
and all sensational reports, to the
contrary.
Notwithstanding this, both Spain
and the United States are hurrYing
and hustling off war ships for Cuban
water and it looks now as ii an eye
should be blinked by either side the
dogs of war would bark in no uu-
mistakable sound.
1t is known that President Nc
Kinley is only awaiting a report
from the commission sent to take
testimony as to the sinking of the
Maine, and when it is read, and
should prove that the ships distruc-
tion was caused by SPANS treach-
cry, be will act vigorously in the
matter and no American citizen
will blush at his act.
Troops at all the Forts in the in
terror and on the frontiers are be
ing held, ready for a minutes march
ing notice,
The country-at-large is firmly of
the belief that we should take up
arms and resent the treacherous ac-
tion of Spain, should it be proven
that the Maine was blown up by
the Spaniards. 1t is only a ques-
tion OF hours now, whether we will
have war or peace. Let US bide the
time in a becoming manner.
The Dallas News, which has here
tofore laughed with scorp the idea
of war with Spain, has now chang
ed its opinion, and says that the
United States is face to face with
crisis, and has also acknowledged
that the country is rife for the af-
fray.
The president aud his cabinet
unite in the belief in spite of all evil
dence to the contrary that the ex-
plosiou of the Maine was the result
of an unfortunate accident, but
they recognize the fact that the
contrary may prove true at almost
any hour, and if it is shown even
inferentially that Spain had hand
in the catastrophe, there will be
but one thing to do, and that will
be to seize the island of Cuba by
force OF arms. At no time since
the war with the south has the
military branch of the government
been so active as 1t is TODAY.

A SHERIFF OF GRIT.
Sheriff Hiram Sanderson Saves a Ne
gro Prisoner From Being Lynched

gro Prisoner From Being Lynched.
Wednesday Sheriff Sanderson of
Little River county, who was over
here on business, received a tele-
gram from his brother, Jim Sander
son, to return to Ashdown at once,
as they had captured Ned Eakin,
the murderer of Constable Massey
and there was fears that he would
be lynched. Mr.. Sanderson got on
a horse at p. M, and by hard rid
ing, made the trip in three hours
and thirty minutes and got the ne
gro as the mob was forming to take
him away from the officers who
we're defending him 9Th all the vim
they could command.
Sheriff Sanderson made them
talk and told them plainly he would
not give the prisoner up, but would
keep him safely until the trial and
let the law take its course. He got
the gathering to disperse, but fear
ing they might return got the ne
gro off in the woods and remained
there all night, bringing him here
yesterday aud placing him in Jail
for safe keeping. If the Sheriff had
not been full of grit the mob would
have swung up the negro, and a
howl would have swept all over the
country about the destruction of
life in Arkansas. The negros crime
is one which will yet cause his
neck to crack; but the courts
the proper tribunals the proper
place to issue the death sentence
aud not the mob. There should be
State medal struck and given to
sheriffs who risk their own lives in
defense of prisoners in their hands,
and we ask the next legislature to
make an appropriation for this pur
pose.

MISPLACED HIS PASS.

Our handsome friend, City At
torRey Sam Soliusky, had occasion
to visit Beaumont Texas,a a few days
ago, and applied to the X. c, p. &
G. road for transportation, on what
grounds, we do not know, but in
due course of time, came the pass,
and Sam began to make prepara-
tions to 90, He had his linen laun-
dried, packed his grip and tele-
phoned the papers in the city to
mention "that Mr.. Sam Soinsky,
the handsome city attorney would
be out of the city a few days" and
when he saw the papers had him
written up, he departed. He got
the best seat in the coach and had
not more than settled himself, be-
fore the conductor came around for
his fare. The city attorney went
for his pass, but he did not find it in
the pocket he thought he placed
it. Pocket after pocket was ram
sacked aud no pass found. The
conductor got impatient, and Sam,
to pacify him, gave him $2l5, the
fare to Shreveport, to hold until
he could find the paste board. He
spent all the time between the
place he gave the money, and
Sport looking for the pass but it
failed to show up.
When Shreveport was reached,
he got off and told the ticket agent
his trouble ard asked him to bull
letin the loss of the pass.
Immediately every passenger
conductor on the road was wired tC
look out for it and when presented
to take it up and collect fare from
the holder.
Mr.. Solinsky got back on the
train, and not being occupied par
tlcularly, began a search by open
ing a letter from his sweetheart
which he had not / cad more than {
dozen times before, found the paste
board emitting him to ride.
At this juncture, the conductor
came around and "our Sammie'
smole one of his sweetest smiles, a
he passed it up, for it meant
saving Of 1880.
The conductor looked at the pass
eyed Sam and said: 81 have or
ders to take this pass up, and col
lect fare" and he pocketed The
pass, holding out his hand for th'
cash.
The city attorney explained mat
ters, saying: 81 can prove by my let
ters and cards that | am the mai
to whom that pass was issued, bu
the conductor silenced him by say
ing, $50 you got his letters too
did your" adding, young fellow
you look honest, you may be al
right, and straight, and have ties
lament in your pocket and all that
but you must come up with tn
dough if you ride on this train
Sam went down in his wallet again
swearing that he wonld never star
out on another trip on a free pass
as long as he lived.

AWFUL DEATH CRASH.
Train Smashed Street Car
at Cohoes, N. Y.
EIGHTEEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
At Least Ten More Are Expected to Die
of Their Injuries - Many of the Vic
tins Returning From Picnic--Motor-
man Died at His Post.

CoHoEs, N. Y, Sept. Ga trolley
car, laden with 30 people, was struck
by Delaware and Hudson train going
at full speed at grade crossing in this
city last night and cut in two. Ten
persons were killed outright, eight died
soon thereafter from the effects of their
injuries and the remainder of the pas
senger were all injured, about ten of
whom may die.
The trolley car was one on the Troy
City Railroad company and was struck
by the night boat special of the Della
ware and Hudson railroad at a crossing
at the west end OF the Hudson river
bridge which connects this city with
Lansingburg, and its load of human
freight was hurled into the air.
Eighteen of the 80 passengers are
dead and at least ten of the remainder
will die.
The car entering the city from Ian,
singburg was crowded with passengers
returning from Labor day picnic at
Rensselaer, park pleasure resort near
Troy.
The tracks of the street car line run
at grade from the bridge to the point
where the disaster took place. In con.
sequence OF this fact and Of the frequent
passage of trains it has been the rule
for each motor car conductor to stop his
Car and go forward TO observe the rail.
road tracks and signal his car to pro.
ceed If no trains were in sight. 1t can
not be ascertained whether that rule
was complied with on this occasion.
The motor car was struck directly In
the center by the engine of the train,
which was going at high rate of speed.
The accident came without the slightest
warning. The Car was upon the tracks
before the train loomed in sight and no
power on earth could have saved it.
The motorman evidently saw the train
approaching, as he reached the tack,
and opened his controller, but in vain.
With crash that v as heard for blocks
the engine struck into the lighter We.
hicle. The effect was horrible. The
motor car parted in two, both sections
beinly hurled into the air in splinters
The mass Of humanity, for the car was
crowded to overfowing, was torn and
mangled.
The pilot Of the engine was smashed
and amid its wreckage were the maimed
corpses OF two women.
The passengers Of the train suffered

no INJURY IN addition to a violent shock
The majority OF the passengers of thu
trolly car were young people. They in
cluded many women.
The corpseS were placed in boxes anC
taken to nelghboring mill she'd MANY
OF them were unrecognizable. Tht
crash was frightful in its results. Head
less women, with gay summer dresses
baUhed in their own and the blood o.
others; limbs without trunks or any
means of Identifying to whom they be
longed, women's and mems heads with
crushed and distorted features; bodies
crushed and fiattened, these sights con
stituted a spectacle too horrible tt
behold.
The train on the Delaware and Hud
son road, Immediately after the acci
dent, proceeded to Troy. The engineer
stated that he did not see the car unit
he was upon IL. He tried to preven
his train from striking the car, but hi
efforts were fruitless.
Hs thinks that the motorman wher
he saw the train was upon him tried tC
get beyond the danger line The grad,
OF this crossing and the speed at which
his car was going also made it impos
sible for him to stop before he reached
the Delaware and Hudson tracks. Il
was the front end of his car that caught
the crash and he was killed outright.
The following bottles were identifi cd
mp to o'clock this morning:
Archie Campeal of Cohoes.

sHAFTER AN ABLE GENERAL
General Pando So Said, and Declared an
Alleged Criticism Was Mis-
understood.

New YORK, Sept. 6.-General Pando
appeared to be feeling well at the Hotel
America yesterday.
The first thing he had to say was that
q misunderstanding had gone abroad
about criticism of General Shafter,
he was alleged to have made. He de.
clared that he thought General Shafter
an able general and he doubted if any
other man could have brought the San
tiago campaign to such a speedy close
with such little bloodshed
General Pando may sail today on
either the Lain or the Aurhnia.
