Wife Suspected.

The police of Little Rock have ar rested two persons on suspicion of having murdered Green Thompson, wealthy colored citizen. Thomp- son s son, who was taken into custody the morning the crime was dlscov- cred, was released, there being no evidence against him. The parties now in custody are W. $. Caswell and Thompson's wife Caswell is charged with the murder and the widow with alleged complicity. The officers have been working on the theory that the murder was com mited by some one in Thompson's house, when he returned home from the church sociable about 1 o'clock at night Mrs. Thompson spent the evening at the home of Caswell, wfeo accompanied her home about 10 o'clock. She says the man did not go into the house, but the police will try to prove that he did enter and was not seen 10 come out. Gas well is a musician. who was often seer in the accused woman's com pany. Mrs. Thompson is much younger than her murdered hus- band, and was his second wife.

The Trnmp Tree.

The late D. de Forrest Douglass, of Springfield, Mass, who originated the manufacture of wooden legs just before the civil war, twas particular about his dress,' says the Republic an, land it is sGid that he wrought his artificial legs wearing as neat and as careful raiment as he wore in public. His was a most cordial and gentle nature, and he was an in- teresting talller. Naturally he had pride in his own special invention, which has been of so great impor- tance. One of his favorite stories was of the tramp tree.' This was a red willow which sprung from the staff of tramp to whom the Shak- CTS of Somers gave meal. He stuck his willow stick at the edge of "a brook, and there it took root and grew to lusty tree, which MT. Douglass bought and used in his making of legs. He had been curious to follow the fortunes of this tree, and used to say that it had the genius of the tramp himself, for it was now walking over great part of the, earth-in Australia, in India, and as well over much of the United States.

A Narrow Escape.

Judge Joseph W. Martin, of Lit tie Rock, had a narrow and thrilling escape from death recently. Judge Martin and MT. W. H. Andereck were returning from a political meeting, walking along the Iron Mountain railroad track Seeing an approaching engine, Judge Mar tin started to get off the track when he slipped and fell. He was so stunned that he could not arise. Taking in the situation, Mr. An dereck rushed to the rescue of his companion and by almost superhu- man effort lifted the Judge from the track when the engine was less than ten feet away, MT. Andereck himself being knocked down beside the track, but was not injured.

Against the City.

In the case of the Home Water Company against the city of Little Rock, Federal Judge Trieber, in a very elaborate opinion, overruled the demurrer of the city to the com plaint, and required it to answer or plead within sixty days, thus neces- stating a trial of the case on it's merit. The court in effect held that it has jurisdiction of the sub ject matter, and that the allegations in the complaint, if substantiated by proofs, entities the guarantee com- pany to that part of the relief pray ed for, which asks for an order re- straining the city from annulling its contract with the water company and declaring the water franchise forfeited. The effect of Judge Triebers ruling is that, while the United States court has jurisdiction to determine the question of the right of the city of Little Rock to forfeit the water company's fran chise, the question of the city's in- debtedness for hydrant rentals will have to be determined in the state courts and by a jury.

Not Fellow Servants.

The United States court of ap- peals, in a decision affirming the opinion of the lower court in the case of Warren G. Fury, fireman, who sued the St. Louis & San Fran cisco railway and secured verdict awarding him $1G,000 damages for injuries received in a collision near Van Buren in 1897, caused by the failure of an operator to deliver an order, held that the operator and the fireman are not fellow-servants ac- cording to the Arkansas statute. Judge Thayer, who gave the opin- ion, found that they were not fel-' low-servants and were not working together for common purpose, their work being of a different char acter and they were only brought together casually. This was agreed to by Judge Caldwell, but Judge Sanborn gave a dissenting opinion, holding that the operator and fire man were fellow-servants, according to the statutes of Arkansas, the terms department and service being interchangeable and having the same meaning and that the judgment should be reversed.

MICHIGAN

Detroit, Nov. B.-The Republicans 81
Michigan have elected Governor A. T.
Bliss and their entire state ticket. II
of the 12 congressman and an over.
whelming majority of the members OF
the legislature. The vote was light
throughout the state, and the Republi.
can majority is estimated at between
$4,000 and 10000. AS was expected,
Governor Bliss ran heavily behind his
ticket from 10000 to 15.00e. L. T.
Durand, the Democratic candidate for
governor. polled a correspondingly
heavy vote, especially in Detroit, which
he carried by from 1000 to 5000.
While the returns indicate that the
Democrats have increased by a few
members their representation in the
state legislature, the Republicans will
have an overwhelming majority in both
branches. This assures the election
of General r. A. Alger to I'LL the un.
expired term of the late United States
Senator James Mcmillan.

THE DEMOCRATIC FOOT
STILL PLANTED ON SCOUTEN
ONLY A LITTLE HARDER.
Albert Dyer Elected by A Good
Majority.

Thanks to conscientious and hon
orable Democrats and to the hard
and intelligent work Of Mr.. Dyer's
friends he was elected Representa-
tive over Edward G.. Rogers by a
majority of 124 votes. This fall was
a bad year for Republicans in Sulli-
van county to win. Pattison was a
strong candidate, and money was
supplied to the Democratic Chair
man and his leading followers in
bundles. All that the Republicans
had to rely on was the general dis
gust of good citizens which Scouten
has inspired and reliance on DEM
ocratic good sense and independ-
ence. On County Treasurer there
were still greater difficulties to con-
tend with, for although in Mr.. Bird
we had model candidate, in Mr..
Gavitt the Democrats were equally
strong. We regret exceedingly Mr..
Birds defeat for he would have
made an excellent servant of the
people and his long life. of industry
and integrity entitled him to expect
better results. But on Representa-
tive where the Democratic candidate
had a record, the independent Dem
ocrats had an opportunity to show
their good citizenship and they did
it in manner to reflect credit on
themselves and the county at large.
Above are the returns.
