THREE LAWYERS.
Gov. Jones Appoints Judge J. c. Wallace Gen. Ro5t. Neill and Hon. H. ". Wells
 Railroad Commissioners.

Gov. Jones, from a list of about 7J applicants. selected the following gen. tlemen as the railroad commission, ere. ated by the general assembly. All the members are lawyers:
 Gen. Robert Neill, of Batesville, In. dependence county, First and Sixth districts.
 Judge j. C. Wallace, of Russellville, Pope county, Fourth and Fifth dis tricts
 Hon. Henry ". Wells, of Monticello, Drew county, Second and Third dis tricts.
 Explaining his reasons for selecting all lawyers, the governor said:
 'I wanted all the members lawyers, for un- der the provisions of this law there are more powers implied than expressed The bill needs to be construed, and as that Is the business of lawyers, they are best qualified to interpret the measure. It is reasonable to assume thab men who make the law their business can more readily understand somewhat abstruse and obscure propositions and make more ceptab1e applications of the same than busi- ness men who are unfamiliar with such things. As to the location. have made effort to
 
 have selected the commissioners from as near the geographical centers of the designated districts as practicable"
 Gen. Neill was born in Independence county, November 12th, 1888; was elected county surveyor of his native county in August, 1860, and served un- til he entered the Confederate army in May, 1861, as a private soldier; was promoted to the grade of first lieuten- ant in 1862, and to that of captain in 1865; was elected clerk of the circuit court of his county in August, 1866; read law and was admitted to the bar in 1867; has served two terms as mem- Der of the democratic state central committee; was nominated and elected to the Fifty-third congress as demo- erat, and retired March 1, 1897, since which time he has been practieing law at Batesville.
 Hon. Henry ". Wells, of Monticello, served as prosecuting attorney of the Tenth judicial circuit from October 31, 1892, to October 31, 1896
 Judge J. c. Wallace, of Russellville, served as prosecuting attorney of the Fifth judicial circuit for two terms, beginning October 31, 1882, and as circuit judge from October 50, 1890, to October 31, 1898.

number Of local bills were introduced. bill was also introduced by Mir, Weton to pro hibit the joint purchase Of intoXicants iE pro hiOition districts
 MT. Toney moved to request the committee on corporations to return s. E, 123 (Kirby), the fellow servants bill.
 Mir T0ney said he regarded the bill as one Of the most important before the general as sembly; that while the railroads were able to employ the best lawyers to look out for their interests, the employees Of the roads, who wanted the bill passed. were not rich enough to remain here to look after their interests
 Chairman Brooks. of the committee on cor porations, said he would gladly return 1t If the house so desired.
 Mir. lobe was in favor Of allowing the com mittee further time. As to lobbyists, he was Of opinion the house had intelligence enough to pass upon measures without their assist ance.
 pr. Taylor was not in favor of hasty action on so important measure
 A petition from saw-mills operating railroads desiring to be exempted from the provisions Of the bill Was presented.
 A vote was taken and MT Toney's motion prevailed.
 MT. Herrn moved to reconsider the vote by which the motion was adopted Under the rules this motion goes over until the next day. The point was raised that Mir Herrn voted from the clerk desk and not from his seat, but the chair declined to so rule.
 As counter move to the effort to defer con sideration Of the bill, majority of the com mittee on corporations secured permission to retire and in few minutes returned and an nounced they were ready to report.
 The point was then raised that as this was not a privileged report, 1t would not be in order except under suspension of the rules
 On motion Of MT. Brooks, the rules were sus- pended by vote of 58 to 10. The report then submitted and the bill took it's place on the calender.
 The remainder of the day was consumed in first and second reading of bills

After Seventeen Years.

In 1889 negro named Cannon and his wife were killed while standing in the door of their home near Wynne by a young darlzy named Wesley Davis, who used shotgun. Davis fled the country and his whereabouts remained a mystery to the officers until about two weeks ago, when his mother un- knowingly led the officers to him. She had been in the habit of making an nual trips from home and, suspecting that these visits were to her son, an officer followed her. His suspicious proved true, and Davis was located in Phillips county, where he has lived a number of years under an assumed name At first he denied his identity, but when pressed closely owned up. Davis has prospered, and owns consid. erable property. While acknowledging his identity, Davis denies firing the shot that killed Cannon and his wife.
