REFUSES NEGRO RESPITE.
Final Appeal Of Attorney For De- fendant Proves Unavailing
 Letter of Governor.

Though Attorneys E. L. Grant and John Stayton and Judge o. w Scar borough made another special trip to Little Rock Wednesday, where they had private audience with the Gov ernor and plead eloquently and warm ly for the life of their client, his ex |cellency stood firm upon his determi- nation not to interfere with the courts Judgment. His position is we'll shown in the letter published below to his friend, J. R. Mayhan, of this city, wherein he holds that his duty cannot be sacrificed for friendship.
 The scaffold has been completed and the view about the same obstructed so as insure the privacy of the execu- tion. The condemned man, it is said, by the jailers, maintains composure and does not seem half so interested in the fate that awaits him as many of his race, who have been hanging around the jail building for several days.
 LETTER OF GOVERNOR.
 LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 24, 1902. Mr. RILEY NATHAN,
 Newport, Ark.
 Dear Riley:- have your esteemed favor of the 23d inst, asking me to extend the time for the execution of the negro recently convicted in your county for murder feel this is un- necessary and would only bring more horrors surrounding the hanging by putting it off regret to have disap- pointed you and to have been forced under my conception of duty to de- cline to do what you want done; but this is the way I see it. I am sorry you have become so wrought up over the matter as to feel almost a personal interest in it. This makes it all the harder to do what I conceive to be my duty in the premises, but under all the circumstances I think the negro had better pay the penalty prescribed by the law and given him by the court. It was a. case of cold blooded murder, and the only question had about the matter was whether or not the negro was sane. That has been passed upon by the jury, who are supposed to be good citizens, and inasmuch as it was one negro killing another I feel that e got fair and impartial trial.
  With kind personal regards, beg to remain,
 Yours very truly,
 JEFF DAVIS,
 Governor

RECTOR RESIDENCE BURNED.

HoT SPRINGS, Sept. 24. The resi- dence of Col. E. W. Rector, in the southern portion of the city, was de- stroyed by fire this morning about 5 o'clock.

SECOND DAYS SESSION.
Proceedings Of Confederate Reunion At Hot Springs Senator Berry, General Cabell and Minor Wallace Address the
 Gatharinu
Gathering.

HoT SPRINGS, Ark, Sept. A. The second days session of the Confeder- ate reunion was opened this morning at II o'clock, immediately after the parade, which began at 10 o'clock. It was an imposing affair, composed chiefly of old Confederates, besides the civic organizations of the city. Gen. w. L. Cabell, known during the the war as told Tige,n occupied car riage to which was attached a splen- did pair of horses, and, pulling over to the side of the street, reviewed the parade He was known to all of the veterans and was greeted with cheer after cheer as they passed. The ma iority of them were attired in full gray uniform and presented an inspiring appearance.
 The session was opened, as usual, with prayer. The lobby, railways and porticos of the big Eastman hotel were packed with mass of humanity. Gen. Cabell delivered the first address of the day. It was strictly extempo- raneous and characteristic of the old soldier. Among some of his trite say ings was that he would not take in ex- change for what he had done for the confederacy lump of gold as large as the state of Texas or diamond the size of Arkansas He requested the veterans present. never to allow con- federate soldier to be buried in pot ter's field if they could prevent i5 He urged the sons of veterans to perpet- uate the me mories of the confederacy by maintaining confederate camps Tn r way the fires would be kept | bl az His speech was greatly en- i'd l and appreciated
 was followed by Senator Berry in one of the most eloquent speeches ever heard at Confederate reunion. The afternoon session began at 2:30 o'clock, with a crowded house, many ladies being in attendance. The en- tire session was consumed with an address by Hon. Minor Wallace of Hope, who received the nomination for congress at the recent election from his district.
 The address was one of the. most brilliant efforts ever made by this gifted orator. It was replete with "reminiscences of the civil war. He paid an eloquent tribute to it's leading generals, the late ex- President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis and to the valor, endurance and loyalty of the Confederate soldiers and their wives, mothers and sisters during the war
 A grand ball was given tonight at the Arlington hotel in honor of the Confederates and their families. The election of officers will take place to- morrow.

which had brought us across corduroy

long narrow compartment on the plat form side of the car Is for passengers. There are two doors on each side.
 Spanning the car structure at the top are several stout lattice girder cross pieces. Each is provided with broad-faced wheels which at first don't seem to be of any use at all.
 Then "All aboard for the Chicago ex- pressp' We hurry inside the saddle car and the brakeman closes the doors.
 Down the track comes the Chicago ex- press. We have barely time to notice what a diminutive smokestack the To- comotive has, and to wonder why track should have been laid along the roofs of the coaches from end to end of the train, before we are off,
 The express is on the track. straddled by the saddle car, and has picked us up. Faster and faster we move, until at the end of what seems only a very few mo- ments we are being carried along at ex- press speed. As soon as the saddle car brakes on top of the coach have been. ap- piled, the doors open and we are at lib- erty to step into the Pullman coach oppo- site while still travelling at terrific speed.
 Then Change for Lonelyville!' and we hurry back to the saddle car. In a few moments our car begins to slacken speed. The express glides out from beneath, leaving the saddle car to be carried along

certain distance while transfers were being made, at the same speed. By coup ling the platform to the express and bridging the intervening space, a matter of two feet or so. uniform speed could be maintained while the passengers were being transferred.
 It was while trying to figure out just how much practicability there was in the moving platform project that I accidently stumbled across the idea of using sad dle cars instead. Since then, railroad men, mechanical engineers and others who have examined my patent have at tached far greater importance to 1t than 1 myself was disposed to at first.
 Suppose you take an imaginary trip with me in the saddle car. We will board an express train flying along without stopping and get off again at station three or four miles distant while the train is still racing along at a terrific speed.
 The saddle car awaits us at the sta tion, and several people are already in- side waiting to be ''scooped up" by a train in about two minutes.
 At first sight the saddle car is not pre- possessing. It consists of skeleton-like structure which Is designed to straddle passenger cars. so that the train may pass under. The car wheels run on rails on either side of the regular track A
