Capt. J. c. Donoghue, an expert civil engineer of New York City, is at the Trulock Hotel today, having ome to Pine Bluff Sunday afte noon from miles from this city on the Princeton road.
 Capt. Donoghue is at the head of q surveying party of some 12 or 15 peo- pie, who are supplied with teams and other necessities of d surveying party.
 The party is making a survey for 8 proposed railroad which will soon be constructed to this city from Malvern and thence Southeast to the Missis- sipi river. When questioned by a Graphic representative Monday, Capt Donoghue stated that to avoid any in reference with the proposed railroad he would give out no particulars re- garding the enterprise.
 Through reliable source, however, We learn that the party has surveyed from Malvern, Ark, to this city, com- ing directly through Grant county to Pine Bluff, the intention being to go directly Southeast to the point where the New Orleans and Northwestern road crosses the Mississippi river for Natehez, Miss. Here it may connect with the New Orleans & Northwest ern road.
 The railroad. if built will be of great advantage to Pine Bluff, and we hope to see it constructed

Supreme Court placed it's affirmation on the judgment of the lower court, not on the provisions of the Sherman antitrust law, but on the broader ground discussed in it's opinion, be- lieving it important that the princi- pies underlying it should be fully stated and affirmed
 The Democratic members believe that the principles stated and affirm ed in that case go far enough and are sufficient guaranty for persons and property without the aid of the pro- viso interpolated into the bill-a pro- yiso that might be used to unjustly oppress a class of citizens already at a disadvantage in the struggle be- tween capital and labor.

DRESS CAUGHT FIRE.
AND ALL HER CLOTHES WERE
 CONSUMED.
Miss Belle Evans Has Narrow Els. cape from Death-She Was
 Badly Burned.

Miss Belle, youngest daughter of Mrs Belle Evans, had an exciting and painful experience with fire Sunday morning, and that she escaped death is miracle.
 The young lady had just finished dressing, after arising, and was stand ing in front of a fire place when her dress caught fire, and the goods being f1annelette material, she was soon enveloped in flames. Her sisters in the room went to her assistance, but before they could extinguish the fire. all the clothes the young lady wore were completely burned from her body. Miss Belle was painfully burn ed on her face, hands and body and is now confined to her bed. Though her injuries are very painful, it is not thought that she is seriously hurt.

A REAL BAD NEGRO
MET HIS WATERLOO AT A DANCE
 AT ELEERSON.
Started d Rough House" by Shoot. ing at Everything in the Hall.
 Except One.

Another killing occurred in this county Saturday night. The man who did the killing is in jail, but he was not captured by Sheriff Mccoy nor his deputies. He surrendered.
 The dead negro's name is Howard Crumpton. He tholSht himself the "cock of the walk" during dance at EllersOn, but there were other walk ers' and dancers around and now Crumpton is peacefully asleep The way Crumpton met his death came aoout in the following mHnner.
 He attended dance at hall near the Ellerson Liquor Companys sa- loon at Ellerson, and, being highly in- toxicated, proceeded to run things at that function to suit himself He had some words with negro from Sherrill over a yellow girl in yellow dress, and informed the Sherrill representa- tive that he was going to put some carmine on the town if he didn't make himself scarce. Unfortunately for both of the men they met again and Crumpton began shooting One This was the cue for the negroes to disperse and it is needless to say that they began to move rather lively They scattered, falling behind chairs tables, and anything that might form a bulwark for Crumpton's S bullets Some went so far as to make exits from the windows, carrying with them win dow and frames and anything they could not pass. When the smoke cleared away Crumpton looked aroundand saw John Ellis, young negro merchant of Ellerson, standing in the middle of the floor Ellis had not moved a step, but when Crumpton flashed his pistol at him, he shot that bad black bird" off his perch Only one ball left Ellis pistol and at the same instant it entered Crumpton's abdomen and he fel dead in his i tracks.
 Ellis imemdiately surrendered him. self to the officers and was brought to this city Sunday morning by Con stable w. L. Lindley and placed in the Jefferson county jail Ellis has always been a peaceable negro and is | well liked by both the white and col ored people at Ellerson. He is pro : prietor of small general merchan- disc store at that place.
 The unknown negro from Sherrill who was shot in the neck, is painfully though not seriously injured

IN FULL STATE.
First Parliament Will Be Opened
 With Imposing Ceremonial

LONDON, Feb. 11.-Doubt as to the nature of the ceremonial to be ob- served at the opening of parliament February 1 i has been set at rest by the official announcement that it has been definitely determined that King Edward will open his first parliament with a full state ceremonial. The an- cient state coach, which has not been used since the prince eonsorts death, will be employed, and it goes to coach builders for renovation of it's costly panel paintings and gilt embel- lishments. The precedent of 1886, the last occasion on which Queen Victoria opened parliament in person, will be followed. The entrance will be through the great gates under the Victoria tower, the sovereign and his siute passing thence to the robing room. It has black marble stair way, which, for years. has been en- cased in wood. Thence they go through the gallery and princess chamber into the House of Lords.
 It is understood that St. Arthur Bigge, who was private secretary to Queen Victoria. will be appointed pri- vate secretary to the Duke of Corn wall and York
