RAILROAD WRECK AT AUGUSTA

While switching in the yards at Au- gusta yesterday afternoon, two big Iron Mountain box cars, one loaded with heading timbers, were thrown from the track and tumbled bottom upwards into ditch. The engine was thrown square across the track with one end hoisted in the air. J. A. Short the engineer was temporarily off duty; Pat Dale was his substitute. He staid with his engine until it ad- justed Itself. The damage is estima- ted to be S50O.0O. A boy was on top of the cars but he jumped in safety. No one was hurt. Manager Bob Harvell left on the first train for Little Rock to get an Iron Mountain wreck ing crew to go over and get the cars back on the rack.-Searcy Citizen

 The coat and vest are laid aside, and where is the feecy shawl?
 And clothes get thinner and fewer what will be the end of it all?

FLOGGED HIS FRAU.
Charles Dukens Fined for Chastising
 His Wife.

Charles Dukens was arraigned in police court this morning and fined $5 and costs for chastising his wife. The latter provoked the attack by hitting her spouse in the face with a tomato can, which, if all reports are true, was not filled with eau de col ogne or altar of roses. The husband evidently did not enjoy the incident and proceeded to dress her down, for which she caused his arrest. Dukens was unable to pay the fine and was locked up in the city prison. He was formerly a resident of Newport and the police say he bears very un- savory reputation.-Poplar Bluff Citi- zen.

 Cotton Belt passenger train No. l, leaving Texarkana at 9:25 D. m., was held up and robbed by five masked men Tuesday night near Eylau, four miles south of TeXarkana. The train was Jagged by one of the robbers, who forced the fireman to detach the passenger coaches. The band includ- ed one expert engineer who then took charge of the engine and ran to a point one mile beyond in a very wild section. The express safe was blown open and though the express and railroad officials will say nothing, a large amount of booty is supposed to have been secured. After footing the express and baggage cars, the engine was cut off and when last seen by the displaced engineer, was going south at full speed, bearing the robber par ty, some of whom were doubtless ex- perienced railroad men, judging from the way the plot was managed.

BLOODHOUNDS AFTER BANDITS.
Train Robbers in Eylau Hold Up Thought to Be Hiding in Tex arkana.-Booty Estimated
 at $35,OO0.

TEXABKANA, ARK, SEPT. 4.-Spe- cial railroad officers, deputy United States marshals and Texas sheriffs to- day hurried from all directions to the scene of the robbery at Eylau switch, an old saw mill station six miles west of TeXarkana, where robbers last night secured about thirty five hun dred dollars from passenger train No. 1 on the Cotton Belt railway.
 Col. o. K. Wheeler, chief of the Cot ton Belt detectives; John Grant, Unit ed States marshal, and Sheriff Stanley Edwards, with a large posse, compos- ed of deputies, left here at 1 o'clock this afternoon with pack of blood hounds.
 At o'clock Constable Jim Rochelle, one of the most fearless officers in this section, left with brace of dogs from Cass county, the man trailers in Texas.
 Tonight the posses returned here, having called the bloodhounds from the trail. Enough was learned to in dicate that the guilty parties are in TeXarkana, and the pursuit is now confined to this city.
 When the train reached EyIau, at II o'clock, according to information gathered by the officers who returned from there this afternoon, the men came forward and took possession of the three first cars, uncoupling them from the rest of the train and pulling them up over what is known as Eightmile hill, where they went through the express car at their own pleasure. The robbers handled the train showing that at least one rail road man was in the gang. The pas sengers were not molested.
 The amount taken from the Pacific Express company's safe exceeded ! $10,000. One half of this was in sil- yer dollars, put up in five bags, each containing $10OO. The money was to be used in the cotton section paying hands. The total amount secured, in cluding local express packages and booty from the mail cars, is said to be about thirty-fve thousand dollars.
 At 1 o'clock Conductor Armstrong, who was in charge of the train, walked into town and gave the alarm. He reported that the robbers, six in number, suddenly showed up on the train when it stopped at Eylau, and took possession of the engine com polling the engineer to do their bid ding. Conductor Armstrong returned to his train on hand car, which was provided him by the yardman. A hand car was found near the track in short distance of the hold-up.
 Vice President and General Mana ger Britton, of the Cotton Belt, wired General uperintendent BOwron, au- thorizing the announcement of re- ward of $500 for the arrest and con- victiOn of each man concerned in the robbery. The railroad company and the express company are co-opera ting in the efforts to run down the robbers.

SIXTY FIVE FEET
 BENEATH SURFACE. Casing Being Sunk to Protect and Maintain Hole Bored Thus Far Gravel Struck at Fifty Feet.

Chastain's addition has assumed the look of an oil center, due both to the derrick and machinery upon the grounds and the crowds of local sight seers, who are visiting the work. The contractors, if the stream of peo- pie continues and the curiosity of the visitors remains unabated, will soon be compelled to establish a bureau of in formation, to protect themselves from thousand and one questions leveled at them each day. It is currently re- ported that several of our most en- thusiastic oil magnates, including T. J. Watson, Capt. Hurley and J. R. Cox will construct temporary quarters near the site, so as to be upon the spot when gusher is struck.
 The boring was begun Tuesday aft ernoon and depth of sixty five feet had been reached Wednesday night, when it was thought necessary by the contractors to begin the insertion of the casing to protect the hole.
 The first forty feet disclosed noth- n,g other than common clay, when this began to run into sand, but which still retained enough clay to prevent caving in without the use of casing. After ten feet of this kind of sand and clay, came a strata of gravel, which the work has not gone beyond. The gravel referred to is composed of small rocks, black in color probably due to the effect of water, such as are found along the river a few feet un derground. They are too light in weight to contain any mineral.
 On Thursday morning the work of driving the casing was commenced, and when reporter for this paper visited the grounds at Il o'clock, forty feet of the same had been sunk and another twenty was being driven down to furnish a wall for the hole, from which it is hoped oil will gush before many weeks.
 Contractor Malang, speaking of the P1OS1 Soo ol UlIS WOIh, SotlI tIctU dIl other force would probably be put on tonight and the boring continued through day and night. Forty feet day will be as good an average as the contractors hope to make.
 The hole is dug by means of a spud- ding bit, which opens at the bottom by means of lift valve through which the earth, whether itfbe clay, sand or rock, is pushed upward into what is called the sand bucket. The valve then drops into place and the bucket can be raised with contents. From this time on, casing will have to be inserted as fast as the hole is dug. To operate the sputting bit within the casing, required that it be made smaller, which was done by heating it to malleable point and then pound ing it into diminished size.
 John A. Chester one of the work men, while tightening the casing rope Thursday morning, suffered a fall by the rope slipping, which came near laying him up.

JUDGESHIP FIGHT.

Exciting scenes occurred in the
Democratic caucus at Richmond Moa-
day night, which assembled to nomi-
nate candidate for Judge of the Court
of Appeals. Notwithstanding the
threats TO enforce the cloture lule,
seven ballots were taken without re-
suit, and the caucus adjourned until
Thursday night. Judge Whitllc led
on nearly every vote, with Mann and
Phlegar close behind The lowest man
was dropped each time, and then re-
nominated after another ballot. At
the close of the seventh ballot the
friends Of Judge Prentiss announced
thai his name would not again be pre-
sented. A great hubbub followed this
declaration, and the Maun and Phlegar
forces combined to bring about an adj
jonrnment. Considerable parliamentary
tactics were employed before tbs dat :
of the next meeting was settled and an
adjournment effected.
