Berryvil1e Notes.

FrrSb The Progress.
 a.Mhe month of September has &en a banner month for wed- dings, County Clerk Charles hav- ing issued more marriage license during they present month than any month since he has had charge of the Clerks office.
 A pleasant family e-union was had at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Goudelock Sunday. All of their children, consisting of three sons and four daughters, two sons-in- law and two daughters law, and eight grand children, were present; a tote of twenty -one, in- cluding Mir. and Mrs. Goudelock. It was the first time in over fifteen years that the entire family had been together under one roof, and that there was not one va- cant chair when they al reas- sembled was a reason for pro- found thankfulness.
 Engineers under the directions of Chief Engineer Lee, of the St. Louis and North Arkansas rail- road Go. finished yesterday the survey of the Berryville extention and as soon as the plats and pro- file of the road can be made and other minor details arranged the work of grading and fencing will begin. It is thought now that the work of construction will begin next week. The Berryville end of the new road will be on Jo Atkinson's place at the foot of north Main Street. A good easy grade has been found and it is thought no difficulties of con- struction will be encountereds There has not for some time been any doubt that the road would be built. The matter has only been held up pending the survey by Engineer Lee, who has found it impracicable to get to the work until now.

Big Fire at Jasper.

Some of the business men of Jasper have had an emphatic les son on the importance of insur~ ance.
 The Newton Herald makes the following report of a fire in that town last week:
 "Jasper suffered quite a severe loss last Friday night, when all the west side of the square was wiped out by fire. The fire broke out little after ten o'clock in k W. Harrison s store, and was un- doubtedly the work of an incen- diary, as the whole building was in flames before the alarm could be given. Some one attempted to burn these buildings only few weeks ago, but failed. liar rison's store, Mrs. Eliza Smiths millinery establishment and Prosecuting Attorney Shinn's law office, and their entire con- tents, and the LeGrand hotel buildings were burned. The contents of the hotel were most ly saved. LeGrand's drug store, on the southwest corner, was torn down to keep the flames from spreading to the buildings across the street.
 The real estate firm of Ammons & Bearden also occupied Shinn's law office, and sustained some loss. The building, occupied by Harrison, and contents were in- sured for S2, 2,50O; S2,000 or the stock and $500 on the house.
 The hotel was insured for 5000. The other buildings were total loss.
 Mrs. LeGrand has already pur- chased the Central Hotel, and will continue her business there.
 MT Harrison has a new stock on the road, but has not yet decided where he will open up."
The Green Forest tribune., 1900-10-04
An Unusual Proceeding.

There is a suit now pending in the county court which involves some interesting points of law.
 Squire H. M. c. White of Eu- reka Springs is at the head of the proceeding. In the recent elec- tion he was a candidate for re- election to the office of Justice of the Peace of Cedar township, which has for several years past been sporting three incum- bents in this office by virtue of having 600 voters within it's lim- it's. In the elections of the past four years, the 600 votes have failed to materialize, and upon the ground of such failure to cast GOO votes at the last election, the Election Commissioners held that Cedar township was entitled to but two J. P.'s and MT. White, having been the third man in the race, was refused a certificate of election. His suit comedies the point that there can be but two Justices for the township, and re- solves itself into a contest between MT. White and Mr. Swope, as to which of the two is elected. He asks that all ballots cast for more than two candidates for J. P. be declared illegal, and thrown out. The law upon this point reads as follows:
 SEC. 2662. If ballot shall be found to contain greater number of names for any one office than the number of persons required to fill said office, it shall be considered fraudulent as to the whole of the names designated to fill said office but no further.
 SEC. 2663. A ballot may not be con- sidered fraudulent for containing less number of names than are authorized to be inserted.
 The case presents some fine points of law and will bring up for decision a question not hereto fore adjudicated by our courts. Whether the direction to the voter to "vote for three" will be taken as the guide as to the number "required to fill the office,'' or whether the humber required" will be judicially noticed by the court, regardless of the instruc- tion upon the ticket, is question for the court to determine. Con- ceding Mr. Whites contention, it is not probable the result will be changed, Many voters single shot" a favorite candidate in or der to insure his election, and, in our opinion, MT. Swope has been thus favored by the voters of his portion of the township. How ever, this is question of fact for a recount to show. The whole proceeding will be watched with interest, not only by the county but throughout the state.

Familiar Names.

The Washington Times makes this observation about Arkansas recently elected officials: ''In the recent election in the fine old Democratic state of Arkansas a number of statesmen bearing the fine old Democratic names were elevated to office. For example, the Hon. Jefferson Davis was promoted from the attorney gen eralship to the governorship. The name of the new secretary of state is Crockett, a lineal de- scendant of Davy Crockett. who fell at the Alamo after blazing the path of civilization in a half dozen states of the southwest and who left to mankind the heritage of great name and great deeds, topped by his immortal motto: When you know you are right, go ahead Arkansas new state auditor bears a name even better known the world over, and that will live longer in history than the two already mentioned, and that name is Monroe. This latter official came from the real stock in Virginia, and while it is not thought he will establish any new doctrine of international policy that will crystalize into the su- preme law of the Western Hemi- sphere, yet tits predicted by those who know him that if anybody tries to tear down the doctrines propounded by his famous an- cestor the state Auditor will shoot him on the spot.'

ANOTHER BIG SLIDE.
Tons of Earth Caved in at the
 Railroad funnel.

The Eureka Springs Times Echo of last week says:
 Another serious delay has been occasioned in the completion of the railroad tunnel. Tuesday evening just before 6 o'clock, the high clay bank on the north side of the west tunnel approach slid into the cut. The slide was of considerable magnitude and will stop all work on the tunnel prop CT until it is entirely removed, there being no way to get rid of the rock blasted from the head ing in the tunnel, until this is done.
 It was very fortunate that no one was seriously hurt by the fall ing of this mass of earth, as the entire force of men was at work at the time. There were several narrow escapes, however, and only two of the workmen were injured, though not seriously hurt. The contractors are using large railroad dumpcars on a small narrow guage railroad to carry the dirt to the fills several hundred yards away, and four of these cars had just passed through the cut when the side caved in with a crash.
 An estimate of the slide has not yet been given, but it is suf- ficiently large to require a months time to remove it.. Messrs. Colt & Co.,, have been very unfortunate with the work at this point and have been com- pelled to remove about three times as much earth as the con- tract calls for. This however is no loss to them, as the railroad company must pay extra for all work of this kind, and the only inconvenience is that it puts them behind with the original contract.
 J. B. Colt, Son 6; Co are now making the tunnel their head quarters for their railroad work. The commissary and general of- fees which have been located near the depot were moved last Saturday. Heretofore the men who are working on the tunnel have been obliged to come to town to get their checks, but now their time and checks will be issued at the works. The reason for this move has not been learned, but it is supposed that their work this side of that point has been com pleted, and that since the tunnel will be the longest job on the en : tire work the change makes 1t more convenient for the contract Ors.
 The roadbed is completed and track laid to within one half mile of the tunnel and this will be com pleted during the week, There is yet one trestle to be putin on this side. The work on the tunnel is again going forward very rapidly, most of the land slide having been removed from the cuts. There were 85, 1000 yards ot earth to remove on account of the slides. The contractors expect to complete this work by the first of the year.
