of March,"
 Brockton, Mass, Feb 24.-Hjalmar Lundin of Worcester undertook 10 throw John J. Little of this city twice in an hour at catch-as-catch-can wrest- ling Saturday night, but failed to get a fall. The match went to Little.
 Mike Willard, the middIeweight wrestler of the West Side A. O., and Max Luttberg, the lightweight, will meet tonight. Luttberg is to defeat Willard in fifteen minutes.
 Leo Pardello, the Italian wrestler, made hit in court in New York the other day, where he was a witness in a Chinese murder. case. When asked his occupation, he said he was a 'spro- lessor of physical sculpture
 A letter from Harvey Parker re- ports that at Philadelphia Monday he started on his week il with a severe cold, his pulse and temperature iump- ing and doing such stunts that even a champion wrestler couldn't control them. He is working again now. however and with his usual success. Like many other citizens of the stage at this time of year, Harvey has the Idea that it's about time he retired rom the footlights after another sea- son. Like other stage favorites, too 1t IS safe wager that he will re- main in the business till the finish of his career.
 Harvey Parker met a Tartar Tues day night at the Lyceum theater in Philadelphia, where he is meeting all corners. His opponent was William Coupe, an old time wrestler. who used to be instructor at the athletic club of the Schuylkill navy. MT Coupe was in his time probably the best wrestler at his weight in America. He is not as young as he used to he and looked to be 20 pounds lighter than Parker. Parker undertook to throw Coupe in fifteen minutes or forfeit S25. For the first few min utes Parker took things easv and the audience ..kidded'' the men for doing brother act There was . laugh when a spectator in tha oal- lery called out, "Get together and another when someone shouted Don't be brutal, Harvey Coupe got out of every dangerous place and Parker smiled, but he grew serious when the timekeeper shouted "Ten minutes Then Parker got a hustle on him and for the next five minutes he worked like a fiend to turn Coupe on his back. He. came near doing the trick in the last minute. but Coupe got a tight lock on Parker's neck and it took all Haryey's strength to break the hold. The big crowd of spectators was wild with excite ment, and cheered Coupe to the esllo as the timekeeper called time and Parker had lost

RE- COMMENCE THE WORK.

At meeting of the business men Friday evening at the Newport Club rooms, new plans were submitted and adopted for celebrating the acquisi- tion of a new depot at the Iron Noun tain station and the old subscription list destroyed.
 A banquet will be given to which the railroad officials will be invited, that their interest may be aroused and their good will secured in the upbuild- ing and growth of Newport. Accord ing to the announcement of George Gould, the White River extension will become part of a through Kansas City Memphis line, and the gap be- tween Wynne and Diaz will probably be filled in the near future. Looking forward to this time the business men of this city are desirous of winning the good opinion of the high officials, that the Wynne connection may be ex tended from Newport instead of Diaz.
 Gus Martin and G. A. Hillhouse were appointed committee to solicit sub- scriptions and report at the nextmeet- ing, to be held Tuesday evening at the city hall, to which all citizers, espec ially the business men, are invited.
 About $500 is needed and the pro- moters of the movement desire thirty men to pledge $10 each, but subscrip tions are to be taken from the citizens in general and this fund prorated to the thirty contributing the $500. The plates at the banquet will probably be $2 each, and this will be in addition to any subscription made.

DEPARTs FOR TACOMA.

Attorney D. H. Cantrell, for the Southern Baseball League, and Arthur Neill, commissioner in chancery, will leave tonight (Friday) for Tacoma, Wash, to take proof in the St. Vrain controversy pending in the Pulaski chancery court on the cross-b bill of the league. The investigation will pertain principally to Tacoma's rights to St. Vrain's services, under their contracts with him for the years 1901 and 1902. This being established, the claim of Memphis to his services will beproven void. They will be absent about two weeks. and the case will probably be heard before Chancellor Martin in the latter part of October. Little Rock Democrat.

NEGROES SHOT AT WELDON.

Constable M. F. Harding of Breck inridge township came up Saturday morning from Weldon with Walter Horton, a negro, in custody, who shot and killed Ed Clark and badly crippled his brother Will Clark Friday night at Weldon.
 The three were at the colored Odd Fellows hall, when Horton is said to have been hit ,by Will Gregory, but the former thought it was one of the Clarks. He went home after his shot gun and on his return met the two Clarks coming out of town. He dis mounted and shot Ed Clark in the chest, from which he died almost in stantly and then shot Will Clark in both legs.
 Going to the hall, Horton told the negroes he had already killed two and said he would have another As he pointed his gun, someone knocked it out of his hand just as it was dis charged. Wes Gregory, another ne- gro grabbed him and he was kept tied all night. Horton bears a bad repu- tation, while Ed Clark is said to have been quiet and industrious negro.

RECITAL FAvORABLY RECEIVED

The recital of Miss Beaulah Casey and Mir. James M. Porter at the opera house Friday evening was listened to by fair house, who were we'll pleased with the merit and excellence of the entertainment
 Miss Casey has been entitled the s'sweet singer of the Ozarks, 1" and we'll does she deserve it, but we predict that those mountains will prove but foothills to the heights that her wonderful voice will sing her reputa- tion. Sweet, mellow and clear, her voice enraptured the audience. The ease and surety with which she reaches any note compelled applause.
 MT. Porter is pianist of fine tech nique, whose classical renditions were excellent. The two should come again, for being known, they will be better received.
