A WILD SHOT WENT HOME.
An Intending PeacemnkeY, in Chi- cagO, Fired . Random shot
 and Killed . Man.

Chicago, June 25.--A man whose in- tentions apparently were those of Il peacemaker, became manslayer shortly before midnight, when Will fam Moriarity, bill poster, was shot to death.
 There had been quarrel and a fight, in which three non-combatants were injured. Bricks and stones were flying through the air as four bill pos. ters, one of whom was Moriarity, fought out a grievance that had it's source in Moriarity's discharge from the services of the bill posting com pany. The man who did the shooting was standing on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street When the fight was at it's worst he was seen to draw revolver from his pocket and advance to the center of the street where he hesitated. Then, raising the pistol, without apparent aim, he fired, and the bullet struck Moriarity be- tween the eyes. The man fell dead and the slayer ran away, escaping.

FLOODED BY BURSTING DAM.
Another Paul Revere, by . Midnight Ride, Gives Notice to Endan-
 Hered Villages.

Utica, N. Y., June 25.-A rainfall ap- preaching cloud-burst caused at least $3o,00o damage to New Berlin Saturday night. Rain had been falling for some hours and came down in great torrents. A reservoir mile west of the village gave way, and it's contents swept down on the village. A farmer living near had ridden ahead warning people of the danger, and they vacated their houses. Two build- ings were swept away. Debris clogged a stone archway under one of the streets, and the water poured over the arch, breaking in the doors and windows of business places and send ing their inmates to the upper stories. Two of the main streets were gut tered out to depth of ten to fifteen feet, pavements, walks, trees, fences, porches and lawns were torn up and washed away, and several buildings were moved from their foundations. A heavy hail storm followed, severely damaging crops and property.

ST. LOUIS WORLDS FAIR SITE.
The Forest Park Site Chosen by Inc Executive Committee and In-
 dorsed by the Directors.

St. Louis, June 2G-By far the most important action yet taken in the the work of creating the Louisiana Purchase Exposition since the inaur- uration of the movement, occurred yesterday few minutes after ii o'clock, when the board of directors of the company unanimously agreed -'hat the great enterprise should be located on what has come to be known as, the Forest Park site. The action ends brief but restivc period of suspense, and will be followed. 1t is promised. by unccasing effort which will result in the opening of the gates of the greatest Worlds Fair ever wit messed, in190a. , 4Nt
 A striking feature of the decision was its unanimity. Not only was the board of directors a unit in it's opip- ion of the wisdom of the selection. but the executive committee who have canyassed every aspect of the question through dozens of painstaking ses- sions, were also unanimous in their Judgment that the success of the expo. sition would be most unquestionably assured by the selection of the Forest Park site. The directors are jubilant over the fact that this problem, in which so many diversified interests were at stake, has been solved without discord, and that the work may now proceed with every shoulder at the wheel. The advocates of other sites have made a gael fight, with the re- suit that the decision of yesterday has followed the most thorough can- vass that could have been instituted. They will with few exceptions fight hereafter as zealously for the success of the fair at Forest Park as they have fought for their convictions in the contest that has been brought to an end. If there is to be any oppo- sition to the Forest Park site hereaf. ter, it is the opinion of those who are most familiar with the subject that 1t will be brief and ineffective.
 There yet remains the action of the national commission, which has it's meeting at the Southern at 12 o'clock to-day. It is the final arbiter of the case, but it is generally believed that it will, with little delay, accept the recommendation made to it by the board of directors. It's work is to be by no means of prefunctory charac- ter, but the local officials believe that the judgment of the executive com mittee, approved by the board, will carry conviction to the national com missioners. The latter will visit the site to-day and examine the facts and figures in the case, which ahe said to be in such form as to carry conviction with them.

The mail and baggage cars turned over and were almost completely demol- ished. How the mail clerks and bag gagemen escaped death is a mystery, but none were seriously injured. A Mrs. howard. of Texas, en route home from St. Louis on an invalid's cot, was badly shaken up and suffered much from the shock. w. w. Say bold, chief mail clerk, and NJ. E. Simms sustained cuts and bruises about the hands and face. but were able to continue with the train after the wreck was cleared away, which took several hours.

DAMAGE IN THE COAL FIELDS.
All Of tho Coliieries Have Suffered Heavy
 Damages.

Roanoke, Va, June 26.-The dam age in the coal fields begins at Coal Gate, which is 15 miles west of Blue field. At that place great embank- ments supporting the railroad tracks have been washed out. At Mayberry, from the train can be seen five houses upset and partly demolished.
 The branch road leading from this point to the Norfolk and Delta col lieries has suffered heavy damage. The track is washed out in some places and covered over in others.
 At Lick branch the water was very high, and at that point the damage to the main line railroad begins, and the destruction of coal company prop. erty increases.
 At Ennis can be seen the remains of a valuable house, and on down below lumber from many buildings is piled high against bridge abutments and other immovable structures. There the east-bound track begins to disappear, and some distance fur ther the roadhed is entirely gone from both tracks.

CLEARINGHOUSE BALANCES.
lion short-Due to Heavy Check ing-Ample Funds Provided.

New York, June 26--It became known yesterday that there was a debit balance at the clearinghouse against the Seventh national bank amounting to $93s,Ooo. This gave rise 10 rumors that the bank was in diff faculties, and caused other rumors that other banks were also hampered. Ali these were cleared away when Manager Wm. SheeIer, of the Clear inghouse association gave out state- ment to the effect that4all the banks in the association had met their obli- gations. and that all clearinghouse sheets had gone through.
 Vim. II. Tappan, president of the Gallatin national bank, and who was present at conference held during the day with other members of the following statement:
 All the banks have settled their balances satisfactorily. This disposes of all rumors."
 Last night statement was given out by the officials of the Seventh na- tional bank in which it was said that the debit balance of the Seventh na- tional bank, with the clearinghouse yesterday morning was $93s, ,00o, and that this balance was due to heavy checking on the part of men connect cd with several large brokerage and banking houses. The directors and stockholders of the bank convened and at once provided ample means for all business purposes.
 The statement further says that the furry was probably started for stock jobbing purposes, and that the ru- mors so weighed on the mind of Presi- dent Vim. H. Kimball of the bank that he rendered his resignation, which was accepted, and E. R. Thomas, son of Gen. Samuel Thomas, was elected in his place.
 Gen. Thomas is a director and one of the heaviest stockholders in the bank. The statement ayers that the bank is in most excellent condition, and is not connected directly or in- directly with any other financial in- stitution in New York or elsewhere.

Women as Notaries.

Chancellor Leatherman of Garland county has rendered a decision to the effect that acts performed by female notaries are legal and binding. This opinion conflicts somewhat with one given out by Attorney General Geo. w. Murphy several months ago In cit ing his opinion the chancellor cited several cases in other states, and further said that women were eligible to the postmastership in government employment. He said in substance that. notwithstanding that postmaster, in the literal meaning as it stands on the federal statute books, means a man, yet women are appointed and called postmasters.

Dunn's Review of Crop Conditions.


 The R. G. Dun Commercial Agency has issued the following review of the condition of the cotton crop in this state
 The cotton crop of Arkansas as a whole is not promising we'll. In the western counties inclusive of upper Arkansas valley, cotton and corn are both suffering from lack of rain.
 This condition applies particularly to the counties of Faulkner. Conway, Perry, Pope, Yell and Johnson. How ever, there are spots which have had rain and are doing we'll, but these are only the few exceptions to the prevailing condition as stated.
 As a general thing the corn sis suf- fering more than the cotton and the uplands more than the river lands.
 In Pope county corn is wilting and cotton is making slow growth This condition, though perhaps in a less degree, exists in other counties named
 The cotton crop never recovered fully from the dry weather which pre- vailed at planting time and during the dry weeks that followed. And while the stand is generally spoken of as good, careful inquiry develops the fact that the stand is not quite all that would be desired
 In southwestern Arkansas crops are reported more favorable. This applies also to south central Arkan- sas, where the stand of cotton is re- ported good and the growth healthy. In some quarters there is serious complaint for want of labor and some fields are plainly in the grass.
 The trade prospects are good. Mer- chants are hopeful of average crops and good general conditions this fall, and are preparing to buy heavily.
 The lumber and coal interests are all in fine condition and increased capital has gone into both.
 While the trade at the present i reasonably slow, merchants feel en- couraged over the general situation of the Little Rock district, whose pros pect for the coming season they con slider fine.

HIRE IN TENEMENTS.
Panie-Striclen Occupants Jump frua Upper Windows With Serious
 and Fatal Results.

St. Louis, June 25.-Fire started this morning at 2:30 o'clock in a row of tenement houses on the south side of Morgan street between Eighth and Ninth.
 The occupants of the upper floors were awakened from their sleep only to find that the flames had cut off their escape by the stairways.
 They immediately ran to the win dows, and despite the warnings of the police and firemen, many of them jumped to the street.
 Ed Zola leaped from the second story window at No. s14 Morgan street and sustained injuries to his legs.
 Men, women and children jumped from other houses, which adjoined the burning structure.
 Ambulances and patrol wagons were called, and the injured were conveyed to the city dispensary.
 Camille Zola, sister of Edward Zola. 10 years old, the daughter of Alexan- der Zola, of No. s16 Morgan street, aroused from slumber by the fire and the cries of the household, became panic-stricken and, in her terror. jumped from the second-story win- dow. She was taken to the dispen- sary, where Dr. Johnson said she had suffered dislocation of the hip and had sustained probable fracture of the skull.
 Milla Zola, mother of the injured children, was killed by jumping from the third-story window.
