DEFENDANTS SETTLED SUIT.

In the case of c. w. Hunter, as treasurer of the Searcy & Des Arc Railroad vs. E. A. Robbins and the Peoples Bank of Searcy, an order was made Monday in the federal court of Little Rock by Judge Trieber overruling the demurrer of the de- fendants and granting leave to plead or answer on or before the next rule day, October 6. Robbins was treas urer of the road up to April 8, 1902, when Hunter was elected as his suc- cessor. Robbins deposited in the bank balance of $7,000, which he and the bank refused to turn over to Hunter. A compromise has been effected and it is understood that the money will be turned over at once.

RAILROAD WORKMEN DROWNED

Two railroad hands, while coming down the river in a small craft last Thursday evening, were drowned at the mouth of Rocky Bayou, by the sinking of the boat in a strong cur rent. Their bodies were recovered one Friday, the other Saturday-and buried by the Railroad Go. We did not learn the names of the unfortu- mates. This sad accident should be a warning to all inexperienced parties who venture to travel on White river without guide or pilot; for it's a dangerous undertaking, from Buffalo City to Newport.

CHANNEL MAY CHANGE.

The inspection of the ravages of the old Mississippi just across the river from Memphis in Arkansas by officials of that city and Frisco railro Id re- gently, confirmed the worst fears, and all came back firmly convinced that something will have to be done soon or Memphis will be left high and dry, while the Father of Waters turns aside to meander through the corn and cotton fields of Arkansas.
 While of course this is the extreme view, and it is possible that even if the river does it's worst that there will still be left enough water in the main channel to answer all purposes, the possibility of dire calamity cannot be minimized. It is evident that the danger is real, a threatening and possibly immediate and overwhelming one, and calls for prompt action upon the part of those who are the proper ones to avert the catastrophe.
 Should the river do it's worst it would mean that Memphis will be without water highway. It will mean that the present bridge of the Frisco system will be useless, and that a new one will have to be built Tn addition to these great and almost incalculable injuries to the prosperity and future of the city, and the anni- hilation of profits on the part of the railroad, it would mean the devasta- ton of fertile plantations, and hun dreds of other ills which would nat urally follow in the wake of such dis aster.

A CLANDESTINE MARRIAGE.

Quite fervor of excitement was created in the smart set of Augusta Sunday morning when it was learned that Chas. B. Mills, Jr and Miss Sadie Mae Cook had quietly slolen out of the city ostensibly for Memphis, and with the intent of getting married. So clandestinely did they lay their plans that not even their most inti- mate friends were acquainted with their intentions. They were passen- gers on the early morning east bound train for Memphis, where they were married by Rev. MT. Johnson, return ing to Augusta on the evening train. Augusta Free Press.

HOXIE STRIKE SETTLED.

Hoxie, September 19-The strike in the Iron Mountain yards yesterday among the white laborers in the steel gang against the negroes working with them was declared off yesterday afternoon. Yard Foreman Tom Troy made them an eloquent plea to return to work; that he would separate the negroes and put them in the lower yards, about two miles away. This being satisfactory the strike was de- clared off. >

REFUSES TO INTERFERE.
Governor Refuses To Commute Sen tence Of Wallace Grant-N Negro Must Meet Death At Gallows triday-Private Execu-
 tion.

Wallace Grant, the murderer of Essex Powers, found guilty of mur- der in the first degree and sentenced to be hung at the July term of crimi- nal court, must pay the penalty of his crime, by giving up his life at the galloWs Friday, September 26, 1902. Governor Davis refuses to alter the sentence of the court.
 On Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock c. l.. Grant and J. R. Mayhan, who had interested themselves in behalf of the condemned negro, were called to the telephone by Governor Davis and informed that their petition pray ing the communication of the death sentence to life imprisonment, must be refused. The governor informed them that in reply to a message of his own asking Judge Fulkerson's opinion of the negro's sanity, he had received the following: "Cold blooded assassi- nation; is sane and ought to be hung"
 Judge Fulkerson stated that he had written G. L. Grant, attorney for the condemned man, and when this letter is received, a communication will be sent the governor praying for a re- spite of two weeks.
 The governor intimated to those who called upon him Sunday, that the T1l mi Q of hD made and in fact told them to tell Sheriff Randy not to begin work on the scaffold until further notice and thus it came about that the final an nouncement came as quite a surprise
 CONSTRUCTION OF sCAFFoLD.
 Sheriff Randy on Tuesday employed carpenters to construct the scaffold, which is being put up in the twenty foot space between the jail and the livery stable, just north of the present jail office. AS the hanging is to be private, board wall will be con- structed on the east side to obstruct the view and canvass will be used for all other openings.
 The platform will be about eight feet from the ground, thus allowing a fall of over seven feet The platform will be 12 by IA feet, while the trap door will be between 3 and 4 feet square.
 In accordance with the order of court, the number of persons who may witness the hanging, will be limited to twenty five, and over twice this number have already applied to Sheriff Randy to be allowed to witness the execution.
 A representative of each of the To- cal newspapers will be allowed. The time of day of the execution is left to the sheriff, the only condition being that it occur between the hours of sunrise and sunset, and it is not prob able that the hour will be announced, 1 except to the few who will be present. 1

The bill against the Beef Trust, pre-
pared at Chicago and to be taken to
Washington for the approval of the
Attorney General, is said to be one of
the most carefully drawn documents in
the history Of the department. The
bill is directed against Armour & Co.,
the G.. H. Hammond Packing Co., the
Cudahy Packing Co., and the Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger Co.
1t is charged that the defendants
named have entered into and are main
tanning combination, agreement or
trust in restraint of trade and com
merce among the several States; that
they are parties to an agreement or
combination which, in effect, provides
for the absolute control of the beef
trade in and between the several
States, and are maintaining an agree
ment or combination to raise or lower
prices of beef, which in effect creates a
monopoly IN the beef trade.
Tt is claimed that the maintenance of
such an agreement stiles competition,
creates a trust and works great hard
ships. 1t is also charged that the
packers named as defendants have Gre
ated and are maintaining a blacklist
ing system, by which the retailers are
compelled to submit to certain arbi-
trary rules or, in effect, be forced out
of the beef trade. 1t is also alleged
that the packers or packing firms made
defendants have entered into an agree
ment or combination among them
selves, and with certain railroad COM
panies engaged in the general traffic
business. The bill sets out specific in
stances of the alleged violation of the
law, and is one of the longest legal
documents Of its nature ever prepared
for filing in the United States Circuit
Court.

AMONG the suggestions taken up at
different stages of the conferences at
Washington recently by the leaders of
thetwo Delaware Republican factions
was a plan to choose the short term
Senator first and separately. It was
proposed to select this Senator from
the southern end of the State, either
from Kent or Sussex counties, leaving
the choice Of the other Senator to be
made from New Castle later. In this
way, on a geographical division of the
matter, it was hoped that peace might
be restored. But the idea was short
lived when the Regulars expressed
their opinion of it. Another plan was
to have each side make up list of ten
men, for any one of whom both factions
might vote, the two-thirds rule to
govern. This solution of the problem
was as little acceptable as the many
others that have been advanced from
time to time.
The proposition to elect one Senator
and leave the other seat vacant won't
work, says the Dover State Sentinel
''and the sooner the idea is abandoned,
the better for saving time. The
animating cause in the proposition, the
motive that inspires it, is that by ac-
cepting it, John Edward Addicks will
be eliminated adroitly and smartly
from Delaware politics. There are
few who do not see this. There are an
infnitesimal few, who, seeing it, do
not care provided this one Senatorship
becomes theirs. The argument is ad-
vanced that to co this will divide the
Democrats by forcing a contest be-
tween Salisbury and Kenney. Will it
not divide the Republicans by inviting
- contest between Mr.. Addicks and the
same ofdsBtter boiling crowd? And
further, il Union Republican should
be chosen for this one SenatOrship,
would not the Boilers demand that the
vacant seat should be given to them
