ca May the End, Andrew Bryant, an honest, hard working colored man, lost his life in an attempt to save taat of young wbite lad, who had fallen into and was struggling in the treacherous waters of the Arkansas river at Little Rock. The boy was saved by Mir. W. G. Hall, who happened near the sceae at the time of the accident, but, before aid could reach Bryant, he sank to rise no more. His body was recovered and tombstone, donated by firm of that city, was placed at the head of hls grave. Through the instru mentality of the Arkansas Demo- crat, a committee was organized, consisting entirely of white men (all Demoerats) to solicit subscriptions for testimonial to present to tue dead mans family.
 On Tuesday afternoon ahouse and lot was presented to Bryant's wid- ow. This action OF the bart of the citizens of Little Rock is commenda ble, and again proves to some of orr Northern critics that the people of the South are not slow in recogniz- ing a creditabIo act, whether the performer be white or black The black mans friend is the Southern CT. although our Massachusetts brethren would have them think otherwise.

The following letter has been re- ceived n this city and is self explanatory.
 Freeport, H., June 26, 1899. Mr. Louis Al,heimer, Pine Bluff.
 Dear sir:-Yours of the 23rd to hand. Am pleased 10 hear that your examination of plant here has been entirely satisfactory. Now if your people desire us to remove to Pine Bluff, they should decide at an early date. Your excellent timber. and as well the facilities for reach ing both the domestic and export trade is all that could be desired, and now it remains with your citi- zens for early action. We have now Q proposition from a gentleman in New York City for company with $100,000 capital. He knows the goods we build, the corn and cotton seed planter, seeder and drill, but 1 do not want to locate at the point he mentions. We can buil9 our goods at Pine Bluff at much less expense. If your people can wire MT. Funk or myself by July 1st do so, for you knowsit takes little time to get our shops ready aud machin- cry ia place and to meet the fall trade, we must begin work at once, fitting up, etc.
 I am very respectfully.

Again Rumored That New Haven want

truth there is in it is not known.
Following is What the New York Com
mcrcial says about Mr.. Stevens ana the
New Haven:
Until the meeting Of the STOCKHOLM
ers OF the New Haven next month no
action VIII he taken in regard TO the
choice Of a new president This deter
mination. it is stated, is due to the fact
that there is a desire To first know som :
ching 81 what the holdings Of the Penn
sylEania are. because if they are as
large as suspected that road will have
q Sood deal 70 say On the question.
1T was remarked yesterday in this
city that IN the event OF Vice President
Hall receiving the preference it would
surprise no one il General Manage,
stevens. Of the Chesapeake & Ohio,

stevens has heretofore said emphati-
call,' that he Rad no intention of max
ing such i change and the present
general manager of the New Haven. W.

80 further steps have been taken IN
the Williams case. The scafoll Upon
which he is to y" hanged continues ,o
so up.
There is reason TO believe that tho
negroes life can be saved if thera ar,.
any sufficiently Interested in him 10
make he effort
The question Of whether this il i case
for executive f,lcmcncy is one TIA. thn
tinvcrnor can decide. Ii is believed
that. to say the least. should IL de-
sire to commute the murderer's son
tcncc to life imprisonment he would
meet With no opposition from tho Judge
who tried the case. tho commemorative
attorney, who prosecuted Williams, or
the jury. which convicted him
On the other hand. il is thought that
the assistance Or some. if not ali. Of
these. may be obtained.
As Yet. however. nothing has been
done either in thc matter of appeal Or
a petition for cicmency
rs usual. the question Of money. on.
rather. the lack Of it, enters largely
INTO the matter
That negro the Portsmouth autlori-
ties had arrested as Andrew Drayt0n
the murderer. was not Andrew Drayton
al all. Few people supposed that he
was.
Chief Phillips, Of the county force,
went over TO Portsmouth TO get the al
legged murderer. but as, soon as he saw
the man. knew that il was not DraNton
The prisoner was a smaller man than
Draytnn, several shades lighter. and
lid not have Il mark Of smallpox on
aim. Moreover. he was not 4 Vast
indian negro but an American negro.
They wanted to charge Captain Ihil-
lips a hundred dollars for the man. but
the Captain did not want him at nEN
price. and moreover. there is no reward
out FOR Drayton's capture.
MS a matter of reaSona BILE presunG-
ton, there can be no little doubt that
Drayton is as dead as ne was reported
to be some months ago. If he isn't
then he is a good deal tougher, than
even West Indian negroes are supposed
to be.
