would-Be Murderer Captured.

Joe Reeves, negro, arrested in Louisiana, has been lodged in jail at Camden on charge of making a murderous assault a year ago on Capt. J. T. McMahon and his wife. The couple were at supper when the negro called at the house and ap- piled for work. He was engaged and invited in to appease his hum ger. Then-the negro asked for to- baceo and snuff, and when told that neither of those luxuries were to be had he became enraged and drew q pistol and fired at Capt McMahon. The bullet, however, struck McMa- hons suspender buckle and glanced off, inflicting only a < slight flesh wound. The negro then fired a sec ond shot at McMahon and third one at his wife. But in the mean time Mrs. McMahon had succeeded in reaching a loaded shotgun that was hanging on the wall near by. The negro then turned and fled, escaping in the darkness.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
City of Galveston Swept By a Ter. rife Hurricane, Which Ragged
 For Several Hours.

The most appalling calamity i'll the history of modern times befell Galveston on the Sth. The tele- graph wires were all down, and for thirty-six hours the city was with, out communication with the outside world Everywhere there is death and ruin and desolation as the re. suit of one of the most severe hurri- canes that ever swept over any part of the. world "A great commercial city is stricken with misfortune, and her people appeal to the out side for help.
 >s Estimates of the loss of life vary from 600 to 1000. Parents mourn for their children, and children arc made orphans by the ter yle hurri- cane which swept all of south Texas Saturday and Saturday night.
 The damage to business and res idence property is beyond computa.
 
 ton. Galveston is almost ruined. The wharf front is entirely gone. Every ocean steamer is stranded The Alamo lies upon top of the Nal. lory wharf, and a big English cot, ton laden steamer was driven ashore at Texas City. Other vessels are aground in different parts of the bay. In the confusion, up to Mon day, it was impossible to secure a list of the dead, but it is known that between GOO and 1000 people were killed. The property loss is in the neighborhood of $10.0O0, 900. The |sstorm commenced raging about 2 o'clock Saturday morning and con. tinned until 10 o'clock at night. At Texas City the wharves are ali gone.
 At Port Arthur six lives were lost. Nothing definite can be learn. ad of the damage at Sabine Pass, as telegraph and telephone connection with that point are cut off. A re. lief train could not get closer than four miles of the town for the wreckage. It is known the loss of life is great

Fate of Crapshooters.

Two negro men were killed by a bolt of lightning on the Allis place, in Jefferson county, on the 2d inst. Three negro farm hands went into barn to shoot craps. They had been in there only few minutes when the lightning struck, killing two of them and knocking the oth- CTS to an opposite side of the barn. When found, the live negro was on his knees, praying Several dollars of silver were melted on the barn floor by the lightning's heat. On the same date lightning struck the Main Street Methodist Church steeple at Pine Bluff during church services, causing no little panic. The worshippers rushed from the edifice in great commotion. Several horses attached to family rigs on the outside ran away, and for time ex- citement reigned supreme. The stee- pie was badly damaged and caught fire. It was extinguished, however, before much damage was done.

Colbert May Yet Escape the e.llow..

For the third time Gov. Jones has granted a reprieve to Charles Colbert, convicted in Sebastian county of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. The date first set for Colbert's execu- tion was August 23, which was changed to August 31, and now he will have until November : in which to produce evidence that may lead to a communication of his sentence to life imprisonment. Mrs. Mollic Daly, of Fort Smith, sister of the condemned man, presented d peti- tion to the governor signed by over one thousand citizens, asking that the sentence be commuted to life i'm prisonment. Letters were also pre- sented alleging that if time were given evidence could be produced which would save Colbert's neck.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Fx-Confederate Reunion

Major General Virgil Y. Cook, of Arkansas Division, U.sC. ", has issued the following address to the ex-Confederates of the state:
 Confederate Comrades - The rinth annual state encampment of this division will be convened at Lit tie Rock at 10 a. m., Tuesday, De- toaer 9, 1900. It is important that each camp De represented by as large 2 delegation as can possibly attend. Among other important business to be transacted is the election of a liyision and four brigade comman- Itless for the ensuing year. It has been suggested that the state en- ea.npmcnt be made state reunion, m aeled after the annaal reunions of the United Confederate Veterans, in which sentiment I most heartily concur, for in addition to the busi- res to be transacted, the reunions social and fraternal features would add greatly to the merit and enjoy ment of our annual gatherings. At the forthcoming encampment, if the number attending should justify and the weather permit, there will be short parade, in which q battal- ion of Spanish war veterans will participate, accompanied by mil itary band. It was reported in of icial circles during the late reunion pt Louisville that more than 5000 Confederate soldiers had passed away during the year. The end is near for the final mastering out of the entire Confederate army, but let us. while here, continue to meet an- nually that posterity may find our very last footprints cemmemorating the glory achieved by the Confeder- ate soldier.

Row at a Colored Church.

On the evening of the 4th inst. disgraceful row occurred during services at the Mount Caanan col ored church at Hot Springs The trouble was the result of quarrel between members as to the disposi- tion of certain church funds. Char ley Pritehard disputed the right of the women to handle the funds, and Walter York took issue with him. Pritchard agreed to leave the mat ter to those most concerned. To avoid further trouble, he started to leave the church, when York opened fire on him with revolver, firing sev- eral shots in rapid succession. Pritchard escaped uninjured, but the congregation was panic-stricken, jumping out of the windows and doors in the widest confusion.

We have been informed that many people move into Conway during the winter months for the purpose of sending their children to school without having the mon ey to which they are entitled in their home districts transferred to this. Our school is already over crowded and if we are to stand the over-crowding we should have the money to which these pupils are entitled. Somebody should see about this.
