northbound. was held up at clifford. Ark,
a few miles this side of Malvern juno
ton at 1880 o'clock last night. The AFFAIR
was conducted by q half dozen men.
The bandits had built huge bonfire
on the track undoubtedly figuring that IL
would cause the engineer TO bring the
train to a standstill. He, however,
scenting an attempted robbery. opened
the throttle and sought TO push through
the fiery obstruction. Several ties, of
which the fire was made, caught In the
pilot and soon brought the train TO a
stop.
Instantly three masked men ordered the
engineer and fireman to leave the engine
at once. Another robber went along the
side of the car, hailed the conductor and
ordered him to remain inside. Each order
was obeyed.
While the four robbers were standing
guard and occasionally firing shot to
frighten the passengers, their two ac-
completes entered the express car and
ordered Messenger Samuel X. Avery TO
"step aside or get 10 the other corner"
The large safe was charged five times
with dynamite, each explosion making a
the car A large hole was bored into the
door of the safe. but an entrance could
not be Effected. The robbers finally an
nounced that they had no more dyna-
mite and then they gave up the task OF
forcing open the door.
Then picking up the local express box
and several packages, they ran to their
horses. which had been hitched nearby
and rode rapidly away.
No attempt was made TO disturb or mo-
lest the passengers. except for an occa-
sional shot at an indhisitive person who
peered out OF a car window.
The sheriff OF Hot Springs county or
ganized posse and started at once In
pursuit OF the robbers. All Were nesVy
nassed. The .trainmen. say ths small box
carried off by the robbers contained
about $500. II Is positively known that the
robbers secured several sacks OF silver
containing $50.

transfer and collection OF paper. The
sullivan brothers kept the financial
status OF the house secret from him. he
said.
He realized several days ago that the
money was coming hard and slowly but
he had hope and faith that the firm
would be able to weather the financial
storm caused by the great rise I'm stocks.
Monday, when an Evening News rep
resentative who had a tip from New
York called upon Manager Paige no de-
MED that there was any trouble and as
serted thar the house was all right

a wire from New York announcing tho
assignment of Sullivan e. sullivan and at
once no posted notice upon the door

One, weil-known Congregational
clergyman from a nelghboring town, who
had ventured into the market for a
flyer" tremulously queried what course
OF procedure IL was customary 10 take
in such an affair as this.
He was one OF many who had substan-
tial profits coming TO them on deals and
who had been endeavoring to draw out
their earnings since last Saturday.
One OF the disconsolate group had made
a profit OF 5000 and is wondering what
percentage he will get.
A local financier asserted that after the
expulsion OF the house from the Stock
and Petroleum Exchange. Sullivan a.
Sullivan resorted 10 the expedient OF
buckefing their orders
In an ordinary market this might have
been a fairly safe proceeding. but great
activity of all the stocks and the unpre-
cedented rise had made IL impossible for
the house TO get long trades and the re-
suit was inevitable.
Locally the loss will be heavy and II
will be a bad one. IL is generally feared.
The New York statement OF 5000 La
bilittes is not expected to cover the loss
es OF the customers, especially II the
Boston, and New York trading was any
thing like what IL was here.

IN Goodell levied an attachment on the

ceived any returns. A question raised
by this suit is whether the New York as

vent education.
So much testimony was given today as
to the love Blumenthal was alleged to
have exhibited for the girl that Judge Au-
denried called C halt, saying there was
enough love on the records already.
There was further evidence as to the
change of attitude of the Blumenthals.
with whom Miss Morris lived after the
loss OF her fortune, and additional evil
dence on the claim that Blumenthal had
the plaintiff confined in an asylum when
she was sane.
The defence opened by claiming there
never was a promise OF marriage and
that Miss Morris was put into the asy-
lum because she was insane.
Witnesses declared she was crazy on
love and constantly cried: IT want my

vised by a doctor TO remove the girl to

A few days ago Gov. William Gregory
applied to the supreme court for an opin-
ion In relation TO the registration laws
under the newly adopted amendment to
the state constitution. some controversy
having arisen over the question whether
registration already made this year would
qualify citizens TO vote at the election to
be held in November, 1901.
Section IL OF article II, in amendment of
the constitution OF the state provides that
registration for all elections to be held
prior to the Tuesday next after the first
Monday in November. 1901, shall be- such
as was required by the constitution and
laws existing at the time of the adoption
OF the amendment.
This seemed 20 make II quite clear that
for all town elections TO be held next year
prior TO the state election in November,
registration should close. as 1t has in the
past, on December 81.
THE COURTS OPINION.
This morning Gov. Gregory received the
opinion OF the supreme court In answer
to hts queries, and the opinion is signed
by every justice on the bench, except
Judge Rogers, who is not In the state.
The first question asked by Gov. Gregory
was as follows: "Is registration made
as above required (meaning according 10
the provisions OF section IL. article III, of
the oonstituticn), a suf1cient one for
that prescribed TO be made on or before
June 80 l90i7''
To this the court replies: '"rhe court Is
of the opinion, that registration made at
any time between January /, 1900. and De-
cember 81, 1900. Is the registration required
to qualify for any election between Janu-
