 Jones Wednesday

Wednesday, Governor Jones par doued Peter Rothgerher, convleted in Jefferson circuit court of grand larceny. Neyemoel 20, 1899, and seateneea t5 oae year io the pe1i- tentiary. He Is an expert cigar maker, and previous to conviction he was considered an honest, indus trious, laW-abIding citizen, but ad dicted to drink.
 He stole watch from man named W B. Ketcham, pawned il and used the proceeds in drink Among other things the tioners for his pardon state
 eTha: since sad seDtenee be has been ia he state p. nltentiray serv Ing oot lis time. G6at=an tbe 5tb day of January, while working as a convict on tbe new railroad, at or near Empire, Ark, be was struck ny falling tree and badly wounded, rom Whseh he has suffered untold agonyi that although aouvaieseent be IS still unable to do any kiod Of mabpal laboF, and the probabilities are taat be vii uevsr be ayIe 10 profofm the labor demanded of him as convict.
 We have very serious doubts as to whether Rothgerber, in that 6ranseu, deiiriou3 condition, was capabs Of committing theft, or tbat he bad tbe siieh test ihtentior of committing a crime; but, although technically guilty, we believe that, when =bIs present physical cora'- tons is considered, together with the facts upon which the indictment was found, he IS entitled to execu- tive ciemency

HORTON LAW
IS NOW DEAD
Sports Sang "Auld Lang Svna''
at the Broadway Ath-
Ietic Club.

New York, Sept. 1.-The Horton law Is
dead. At the Broadway Athletic Club last
night after the Gans-Hawkins fight,s this
passing of pugilism was signalized by the
singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by the crowd
Other clubs mourned the law in much the
same way. 1t is estimated that since the
passage of the law in 1898, 1880 fights have
taken place in this State, the majority in
Greater New York. The total receipts are
placed at about $3.50 900. The Erne-Mc-
Govern fight drew the biggest crowd, and
the Corbett-McCoy fight had the largest re-
ceipts, about $4,000.
Preparations are already being made by
the local promoters to secure nearby club
houses in New Jersey and Connecticut.
Robert Fitzsimmons said last night of
James ]. Jeffries proposition to fight him in
Carson City four weeks hence:
NO. Jeffries can make all the bluffs he
wants to now. Everyone knows that 1 tried
to get him to fight me tonight friday.
He knows that 1 have retired from the ring
and this is final, too No more fights for
the old man. Let Jeffries fight Corbett.
guess Jim can take care of him after the
form he showed against Mccoy"
II am going to take little rest and then
I will hold Brady to his word. He said last
Monday that Jeffries would meet the VIM
ner Of our fight last night If F1tzsimmons
retired. Fitzsimmons says he will do no
more fighting. so it is now up to me-"

ARKANSAS STATE CAMPAIGN
Closed Last Night Election to be Held
Monday

Little Rock, Ark, September 1.-The
State campaign closed tonight with ad-
dresses in this city by the gubernatoriai
candidates, and the election will be held
Monday. The democratic ticket for State
officers is unopposed except for Governor.
The republicans decided to put out can
didate for that office, and named Harmon
L. Remmet of Little Rock. The populists
also put out a one-man ticket, Abner w.
Files of Little Rock, being their guberna-
torial nominee. Both have been candidates
for the same office before.
The democratic candidate is Jefferson
Davis of Russellville, the present attorney
general He and Mr.. Remmel have been
stumping the State the past month.
The republicans claim a fighting chance
to elect Remmel because of the strong OPP
position which developed during the cam
paign previous to the primaries to Davis.
The democratic managers appear confident,
however, and claim that Davis will be
chosen by the usual large majority.
statement published today that Rem
mel had stated on the stump yesterday
that If he were elected Governor of Arkan-
sas he would not honor a requisition for
Governor Taylor of Kentucky, has created

TEXAS PACIFIC
HAS WITHDRAWN
From the Southwestern Passen-
ger Bureau-May f.
feet Rates.

Dallas Tex, September 1.-The announce
ment yesterday concerning the withdrawal
of the Texas and Pacific Railroad from the
Southwestern Passenger Bureau created
considerable surprise in railroad circles,
principally from the fact that the passen-
ger business was thought to be running
smoothly, with no friction among the Texas
lines. 1t is alleged that the railroads that
are members of the bureau have not all
been living up to the agreement of main
tanning rates, and the Texas and Pacific,
feeling satisfied of the fact, has withdrawn
from membership.
The withdrawal was not to have been
public for the present. as it was not to go
into effect until September "a, but the fact
leaked out in st. Louis, and nothing re-
manned but for E. P. Turner, general pas
senger and ticket agent of the Texas and
Pacific, to give out statement concerning
the withdrawal. To a reporter Mr.. Turner
admitted that he had given notice that, eff
feceive September "a, his road would with
draw. He said:
1--WE went back into the bureau last May
a year ago. when penalties for dealing
with ticket brokers were increased from
500 to $500. We were not satisfied with the
amount of penalty, but agreed to give 1t
a trial We will not now be satisfied with
any penalty less than $1,000. l would much
prefer $4,000"
The effect of this action on the part of
Mr.. Turner win be watched with interest
by officials of southwestern roads. The
general passenger agents in May, 1899, re-
fused to agree to a $500 penalty, but the
matter being referred to the president of
the different roads, they fixed the penalty
at that figure.
What the outcome of the matter will be
Is hard to say, but it is stated that the
Texas and Pacific will continue in the
mileage bureau, this move having no eff
feet on the interchangeable mileage sys-
tenn.
