ALEX BRINKLEY HUNG.

Friday an immense throng OF
people flocked to Morrilton, Ark,
on the occasion of the hanging OF
Alex Brinkley, the murderer of DR..
G. q. Chamness. He displayed
great nerve at the last, and walked
up the steps to the scaffold without
any assistance.
At 1890 he had put on new suit
of black, and started for the scat
fold and spoke about twentyminutes
reiterating his innocence and hope
for salvation. At 11:3O the trap
was sprung and in fourteen min.
utes he was pronounced dead, anC
his body was given to his friends
who took it to Center Ridge for in
terment.
The Crime For Which Brlnkley Died
DIR. G. G. Chamness was shot anc
killed at his home in Center Ridge
on the night of June 16, 1897
Brinkley's name was connected
with the crime and he was arrested
convicted and sentenced to death
He carried the case to the supreme
court, which affirmed the decision
of the lower court, and the Cover
nor refused to interfere with the
execution of the law, although
strenuous efforts had been made t.
secure his Communication or at least
a respite.

Nothing Done.

The papers of Pine Bluff have
been telling the world that that
city was to have an electric street
car line, and blowed about the en-
terprising citizens putting up their
money for such a project. Col.
Fordyce, a non-residenter, went to
Pine Bluff and put down IS, 900 as a
starter and this is about all that
has been subscribed as we see from
the Graphic that one of the Chica-
go capitalists who is going to build
the line, is now in Pine Bluff and he
tells the citizens that they must
raise $4,000 of the stock if they
want to see an electric line Of
street cars traversing the streets
of their city. If this Chicago mdn
has any more electric lines on hand
he wants to dispose of we invite
him here, we have people here who
will take stock in anelectric line.

The Court finally admitted the ques-

II was the duty of the Court 20 have any
one who could throw any light on the
