Atchison. the last-named being quite un
affected by the apparently well grounded
reports that the company would soon is

DEMAND FOR BETTER
ELECTRICAL SERVICE.
Mr.. ALLEN ASKED FOR REPORT
Congress May he Called Upon for an
Appropriation to Put Fire and
Police Telephone SystemE in
Good Order.

The movement 10 secure better equip
ment Of the Electrical Department Of the
District was advanced one step this
morning. when Commissioner Mcfarland
forwarded to Mr. Walter c. Allen. the
Electrical Engineer, the communication
on the subject that was sent 10 the
Commissioners yesterday by Major Rich
ard Sylvester, Superintendent Of the Po-
lice Department.
AS matter Of form and to secure such
information upon the subject as he may
be able to furnish, the papers we're re-
ferred to the Electrical Department pre-
vious to taking the matter up for con-
sideration by the full Board.
Measures Depend on Conditions.
What measures may be adopted then
will rest almost entirely upon the condi-
tions represented 20 them by Mr. Allen
in mis- report and such other information
as the Comm ssioners may have gained
upon the subject
There is little doubt the matter wiz be
laid before the District Committees OF The
House and Senate With q request fer IN

SURVEY WEARS COMPLETION.
NEWMAN ERB's ROAD.

M. w. Wambaugh,, chief engineer of the St. Louis, Memphis x South eastern railroad, was in Little Rock Saturday night. He has charge.of the survey being made for the entension of the line, which is known as the Erb road, from Newman Erh, the president and promoter, from 'Hoxie to Little Rock. The preliminary sur vey is to be completed by the latter part of the week, and MT. Wambaugh will then be enabled to make rough estimate of the cost of construction. The party is now at Kerr's Station, in Lonoke county, and will remove their headquarters to North little Rock in a few days. The only towns of consequence touched by the road are Newport, Augusta and. Des Arc. 1t Is understood that the company has enough capital back of it to build the road Little Rock Democrat.

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

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 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 re- spite of two weeks.
 The governor intimated to those who called upon him Sunday, that the communication of sentence would be 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 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

ARKANSAS THIRD
 IN NEW MILEAGE.

A careful preliminary estimate made by individual canvass of the railroads, and supplemented by the Railroad Gazette's own record, figures furnished by the state railroad com missions and other sources of infor nation, shows that approximately s ,02S miles of new steam railroad have been built within the United States between January and December 31, 1902. The figures are exclusive of second track, sidings and all electric lines. Rebuilt mileage is also exclud- ed except where the work involved such extensive changes in alignment that new route was established, as in the case of the Southern Pacific between certain points in Nevada.
 Railroad building was reported done ill forty-two states and territories, and Oklahoma leads the list with track laid on 570 miles of new line during the year. Texas comes second, with 496 miles; Arkansas is third, with 371 miles, and Indian Territory is fourth, with 363 miles. Georgia built 336 miles during the year.
 In addition to these, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and New Mexico show re- turns of over 200 miles built, and Ala bama, California, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and West Virginia built between 100 and 200 miles

CR0ssER HELD FOR TRIAL.

George Crosser, Jr., of Newark, was given q preliminary hearing Fri day before Justice T.. B. Harris, and as a result was committed to jail to await the finding of the next grand jury in default of $500 bond.
 Crosser is a young man of about twenty two years of age, who is said to belong to a highly respected family of Newark. He is accused of robbing Charles Sharkey of his gold watch last Wednesday and as the stolen article was found upon his person, the proof is rather convincing.
 While pretending to be examining a button on Sharkey's coat in R. T. Simmons, Crosser is accused of steal ing the formers watch valued at $52.50 and couple of bottles of med icine. Crosser was arrested by Sheriff Randy and Deputy Lockard Randy on the walkway leading to the rough dis trict across the railroad track.
 He at first denied the theft, but Charles Draper was found by the sheriff and the latter alleged that Crosser had confessed to him his theft and hidden the watch in his sock
 Sheriff Randy returned to the jail and upon informing Crosser that he was to be stripped and searched, the prisoner weakened and produced the watch, which was returned to it's rightful owner.

MR. AND MRS. CROOK ENTERTAIN.

MT. and Mrs. C. E. Crook invited small number of friends to their home upon Friday evening to a puzzle party in honor of Mir. and Mrs. Champ Simpson, the latter sister of the hostess, both of whom have been very cordially received by Newport people and are even now the posses sors of many friends here.
 The interior of the home presented an attractive appearance with decor ations of mistletoe, holly and red berries, that had been arranged with an eye of taste.
 Mir and Mrs. Crook receive with ease and grace and always have some thing planned to delight their com pany with snch hospitality as they find within this home.
 Aside from a puzzle contest in which cards were handed to each guest to solve, the company were treated to some excellent music. Both Mrs. Crook and Mrs. Simpson sang and those present go into raptu1es in re ferring to the voice of the latter, this being the first time her singing has been heard here.
 Toothsome refreshments of sand- wiches, chicken salad, olives, coffee, salted nuts and fruits were daintily served and the punch bowl too must not be forgotten, presided over by Misses Lucy Brandenburg and Mabel Stayton.

LOWER WHITE OVERFLOW.

Des Arc, Dec. 26.-The streams in this section have been very high of late. The water at Bayou Des Arc reaches about half way up the tele- phone poles by the bridge. In many places the water has gone out in the bottoms. The pearl hunters are perched on the high places on the opposite bank and some on this side have been com pelled to move upon the level of the town. The surface of the river the past few days has been covered with drifts of all kinds, endangering booms, small boats and ferry wires. With clear weather the water will begin to recede soon, however.

THE MARKETS
Wall Strast Hapisw.

New York. May 1.-The volume Of dealings fell
on again In today's stock Market and the move.
mcnt OF prices Indicated much uncertainty and
confusion OF sentiment. The furry IN call money
TO 10 per cent. would go far TO explain the action
OF the market, but there We're some supplement.
nry causes which were confusing and no doubt
had something to do with the rise In the money
rate. The preparation for the May disbursements,
which are unusually heavy this year was OF
course, the primary cause of the construction OF
the money supply. But such demonstration, OF
instability as that Of International Power aud
number Of other industrnls. whose affairs are
more or less sl,roudcd in mystery, yesterday and
today had the inevitable effect Of inducing closer
scrutiny OF the character Of collateral offered for
loans. The May disbursements for dividends and
interest estimated at over sjs.000.0Oo in
cluding the heavy payments for United states
steel dividends. The stibtrcasury operations this
week have taken from the banks over ~. 900,
largely due to deposits to retire bank circulation.
There has been some demand iron, the interior,
as shown by the drop In New York exchange at
episode caused decidedly feverish feeling among
the obscure class of ihdustrias. Higher grade
stocks Of this class were less affected, although
U. y steel securities showed some depression,
partly due to some public discussion Of rather
biting character Of the financing of the corpora
tion. Sugar, Anialganatcd Copper and Peoples
Gas were firm to strong. The grain carrying ran.
roads started to advance oil the overnight reports
Of showers in Kansas and the Northwest. but
the. advance was checked by the failure OF the
grain market to reflect any benefit to the crops.
Paul, which seemed to be due to the advance IN
the dividend rate on Northern Pacific from 4
per cent. to per cent. basis. Another notable
center of strength was in the Southern trunk
lines. which had no other explanation than the
reports of very large north and south traffic.
The movement affected Louisville and Nashville,
Illinois Central, Chicago indianapolis and Louis.
Vile and to less extent Southern Railway. The
fixing Of the May semi.annual dividend rate on
Pennsylvania at per cent. induced large buying
Of that stock and helped the other trunk lines.
For two years past the May dividend on Penn
sylvania has been ga per cent, while in No.
vember there was declaration of 2h per cent
regular and l per cent. extra. The rate OF dis
bursement is unchanged therefore, by today's
rate, but the fact that it is called regular is
accepted as declaration of confidence in the
future on the part Of the directors. The unde.
cided question Of the anthracite miners terms
was weight on that portion Of the market. The
closing was irregular. Total sales today. s25,50O
shares
The bond market was irregular in sympathy
with stocks Total sales par value, S2,i3O,OOO.
United States new As declined 4 per cent. on

semi-Annual Dividend.

At special meeting of the board Of
directors Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company today, a semi-annual
dividend Of 3 per cent. was declared,
payable on and after May 81 to the
stockholders of record May 6. This is
the first dividend of 8 per cent. fiat
declared since November. 1892. and is
payable on the capital stock Of s204,-
3I4,S50.
Last November, the directors de-
clared a dividend OF 21a per cent. and
an extra dividend of per cent. upon
q capital stock of S2o2,0O3,2OO.
In May and in November 1892 8
per cent. dividend was declared, but
after that year was reduced one-half
per cent, excepting in November, 1900.
and November, 1901, when extra divi-
dends of / per cent. were declared.
