Ex-SHERIFF KILLED.
Jim Bartley Wilson Run Over by
 a Switch Engine.

I
 Jim Bartley Wilson, ex-slieriff of Faulkner county, was run over by a switch engine and killed at a point opposite the Arkansas Cotton Oil Mills, i'll North Little Rock, about o'clock this morning. This is the supposition at least of those who have acquainted themselves with the circumstances concerning his death. He lived at the Stan ley store, about two miles north ot North Little Rock, on the Fort Smith road, but was in the city yesterday, and is said to have. en- gagged ill game of cards at the Bridge Saloon, where he was seen as late as IT o'clock. 1t IS also said that he had all altercation with some. parties at that place, but the details of the affair are lacking. It is claimed that he left the Bridge Saloon about IT o'clock going i'll the direction of his home. This was the last seen of him until his body was found this morning. A North Side undertaken took charge of the remains and the body was being held for direction.
 James Bartley Wilson was born and raised in Faulkner county. He was about 50 years old. Some ten years ago he served as sheriff of his native county, being elected on the Populist ticket. Subse- Iquently he was shot from ambush and dangerously wounded while cnroute from this city to -Vilonia. The identity of his would be as sassin was never known. After his recovery MT. Wilson removed to North Little Rock and engaged at different times i'll stock dealing and sub-contracting on railroads. His relatives in Faulkner county are among the best people ill the state. Ark. Democrat.
 There is not much to be added to the above from the Arkansas Democrat of August ?. Mir Will son has a host of friends in this county who deeply deplore the sadness that has come upon his family. He was once prosper ous farmer near Vilonia and his family was probably one of the most happy and contented.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Committee on Supplementary Army Es-
 tim ateS

London, February 16.-While the house of commons was in committee on the sup plementary army estimates today the lBb erai leader, Sir Henry Campbell Banner man, after reaffirming the intention of the liberals to do anything necessary for sue cessful prosecution of the War, said the one thing dominating the debate was the sus- picion that compulsory service was pro jected. He did not think the government intended this, but the intention of the pre- mier was another matter. Conscription by ballot he declared, was a combination of press gang and roulette which was a very undignifed way of increasing the strength which Great Britain had mortgaged in her endeavor to be before her neighbors in every part of the world. She is now, he concluded, reaping the fruits of this policy.
 The government leader, MT. Balfour re- piled that no amount of effort could make Lord Salisbury's speech appear to favor conscriptlon. staAt
 Another speaker in tffe house of lords. he asserted, had referred to compulsory serv- ice, but he was a former colleague of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman.a Mir Bahour, continuing, said he would gladly welcome SoIne prdcLicdl SusSeSuaoh, put nau WsMpSu vainly for Sir Henry to suggest a method of meeting the heavy military responsibli- ties. The speaker congratulated Sir Henry on escaping the fault which had not been avoided by some important people dn other houses Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman had showed no panic, and had not fn tones of trembling emotion, told them the country was endangered unless 1t mobilized the feet. He had taken a saner view of the po Sition. Doubtless there was one great and unexpected difficulty which the government would endeavor to retrieve as rapidly as possible, but the position did not justify tones of panic, least of all, from the noble lord, who had, and deserved to haVe the right to lead public opinion.

RESIGNATION OF
 BISHOP JACKSON
The Effect It Will Have on His
 Jurisdiction.
WILL STILL BE A BISHOP
When He Resigns His Office It Only Af- fects His Particular Territory. House ofBishops May Not
 Accept Resignat

Eufaula, February 16-(SpeciaI-The Church Record the official organ of the Episcopal church of the United States, in a recent issue, contained the following item touching upon the resignation of Bishop Jackson, of the diocese of Alabama:
 ."Bishop Jackson's resignation will be acted upon by the house of bishops at a called meeting to be held for this purpose in the Church Mission house, New York, on Thursday, April 19th While the general supposition is that the resignation will be accepted. it is by no means certain that 1t wild be.
 "In view of the general lack of informa- tion about the matter it may not be amiss to add here that when bishop is consecrated he is consecrated to do work within a pre- scribed territory, termed his diocese or jur- isdiction, and the law of the church does not permit him to perform Episcopal duties elsewhere without consent of the local dio- cesan authorities. When he resigns his off, fee as it is generally 'termed he really re- signs only lhis particular jurisdiction, put ting himself in exactly the same relation to it that he always held to other dioceses and jurisdictions He is still a bishop, but @ bishop without jurisdiction. For exampe: Bishop Jackson is not less bishop at pres ent because he has no Jurisdiction in Geor- gaa he will not be less a bishop when he ceases to have jurisdiction in Alabama; his official status, so far as Alabama is con cerrped, will be as that of the bishop of Mis- sisppi or the bihop of Tennessee.
 But resignation is not perfected until it is accepted by the house of bishops, a majority of the whole house being present, and majority of those present voting to accept it. A trust must always be resigned into the hands of those who conferred 1t; and in this case the house of bishops con ferred Jurisdiction, the diocesan council only selecting the appointee. The process was Mloe that of the appointing of the seven deacons in scripture; the people 'ohose seven men, but the apostles set them over the business"

FIFTH TRIAL OF A
 CELEBRATED CASE
Danforth and Armstrong Get Verdict Against the Tennessee and Coosa
 Railway for S25,9OO

Huntville, February 16.-(Special) )-The fifth trial of the celebrated case of Dan- forth and Armstrong vs. The Tennessee and Coosa railway was concluded in the circuit court at Gadsden today, the jury rendering a verdict for the plaintiffs for $25, 900.
 The plaintiffs had contracted to build the Tennessee and Coosa from Huntsville to Littleton, Etowah county, in 1888. and while executing the contract the railway com pany failed. The plaintiffs sued for s15O,00O profits they claimed they would have made had the road been completed. The jury allowed them no profits Expert witnesses, Major D. C. Hingman, Hunter Mcdonnell and others, testified that the contractors would have lost money in building the road, as projected on the face of Deposit Bluff, the removal of 75,00O cubic yards of rock being necessary. This rock being thrown into the river, according to Major Hingman, would have changed the channel of the river and caused over flows a distance of twenty-five miles up the stream. The case has been tried in the supreme court three times
