CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

The Jackson county grand jury, re- fusing to follow the counsel of the district attorney, returned an indict- ment for murder in the second degree where that official believed the evil dence made case of murder in the first degree. Thereupon the circuit judge set the indictment aside, upon the motion of the district attorney. and remanded the defendant to iail without bail until the next term of court. The same grand jury reached an original conclusion, also, with reference to the illegal liquor traffic at Newport, which it thought prudent not to press to the point that would arouse sympathy for the culprits. It seems from past experience to be a little difficult to catch the Newport culprits of this character in the right spot. To be found exceedingly guilty is pretty nearly next thing to &C., quittal. Batesville Guard.
Newport weekly independent., 1902-08-08

The St. Louis, Memphis and Little Rock railroad was incorporated Fri day with a capital stock of $1, 1,250, ,000. The road will begin at HoXie, Law renee county, and run a distance of 125 miles through Craighead, Jackson, Woodruff, Prairie and Lonoke coun- ties to Little Rock. The articles specify corporate existence of fifty years. Stock is to be sold at $100 per share. The directors are F. E. Blo- meyer, F. E. Burroughs, Louis M Levy, Gordon N. Peay and George w. Rogers.
 The capital stock of more than a million is to cover the expenses of construction, motive power and ap- purtenances.
 'EThe surveyors of the road are al ready in the field, laying out the route," says the Little Rock Gazette. ''Their chief object is seeking water grade level, which it is hoped to ob- tain the entire way. There was some doubt as to the possibility of so doing, and at one time the construction was deemed doubtful on this account.
 "When the construction of the road was first proposed the promoters de sired Little Rock to give a bonus of $100,000, but no agreement was reach ed.
 "When the present route is com pleted from Little Rock to Hoxie there is strong probability that it will be continued on to Springfield, Mo-, through the rich zinc deposits of that section.'

CAROUTHERS REFUSED.


 W. B. Carouthers returned from Little Rock Thursday night, the gov ernor having refused to pardon him from the fines and costs imposed by this term of court He had a long peti- tion whose names embraced many good citizens.
 Whether by this he means to es- tablish precedent and will also re- fuse w. R. O'Nea's petition is not known, but reports from Little Rock state that his action in the case re- ferred to was caused by the trouble which the pardon of another Newport man for the same offense has recent ly given the governor.
