ThinlSs It Iaa Combine.

Attorney General Murphy caused decided sensation at Little Rock by making the following statement rela- tion to an organization which has branches all over the state: q think that the Retail Grocers' Association of Little Rock is an unlawful com bination to raise prices, but the facts are not sufficiently in my possession to warrant the institution of proceed ings at this time. Moreover, the leg islature placed no funds at my dispos- al for the investigation or discovery of offenses of this character I have to depend on what I can learn from those who are willing to give the in- formation voluntarily. l think it will not be long till l will have obtained even in this way enough to justify the institution of suits. The association is not the only combination for raising prices. to which l am seeking to give attention. When I get enough evi- dence to sustain suits l shall bring them. but it would be worse than idle to sue when, for want of evidence, failure is inevitable.

MYsterinns Killing.

A dispatch from Pine Bluff tells of gruesome tragedy which was en- acted near Montrose. small town in Ashley county. Parties from Mon trose. while passing through a stretch of woods about q half mile from Mon. trose, came across a new-made grave. There was no graveyard in miles of the secluded spot and speculation be- came rife in the party as to the iden- tity Of the grave. It was marked by no tombstone, not even 6 board slab. The suspicious of some were aroused and the discovery reported in Mon trose. Investigation was set about, and the grave was robbed of its dead by the proper officials. The discovery astounded every one. In the grave was found the remains of a journey man printer, Frenchman, who was known in the community An exam nation of the remains followed, and the cause of his death was shown. several gaping bullet wounds were discovered. After a creful investiga- tion into the tragedy a clew was found of sufficient value to cause the arrest of R. F. Newton, a merchant of Montrose, for the murder. and pr. Nickelberry of the same place for ac- eessory. Both were lodged in jail, and Newton confessed to the murder. say ing that the deed was committed in self-defense. He also exonerated Nick elberry from any connection with the tragedy.

FRIGHTENING UP" PROCESS.
All Glasses of Trades Unions Taking
 Hand In the Strike.

Nilkcsbarre, Pa, June 10.-The frightening up. process which has been in progress since the anthracite coal strike began, four weeks ago, continues. All classes of trades un- ions in the coal region have taken hand in helping the miners, and now the long-predicted move of the rail roaders in the region has been made. The decision of these men, at meet ings held in different parts of the region Sunday to refuse to aid the companies in their fight against the miners has encouraged the strikers greatly.
 At Freeland. Sunday. the railroad men of the Delaware, Susouchanna & Schulyl>ill railroad decided to re- fuse to handle the trains carrying deputies, coal and iron police or non union men. The Lehigh Valley Go. men met at the same town, and will not handle soft coal that may be wanted to displacc hard fuel. and at Kingston the Delaware, Lackawanna X Western Co. employees protested against the houling of soft coal. and condemned the action of railroad conductors in acting as deputies.

BUILDING THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Physical Construction of the st. Louis Worlds Fair is Now
 Going Forward Rapidly.

St. Louis, June 10.-The physical construction of the great Worlds fair is going rapidly forward. The frame works of the gigantic exhibit buildings are beginningto assume the form of the structures, and sections of these monsters have already been thrown into the air to the height of 75 feet. Work on the Textiles build ing is most advanced, and there seems to be no doubt that it will be com pleted by next November, the time specified in the contract. Hundreds of carpenters are at work daily on this massive building, and so high above the earth are they getting that they look like so many spiders weav- ing their webs in mid-air.
 Two of the other great buildings are going steadily up. The hum of a dozen sawmills. the merry chatter of thousands of hammers, the swish swish of the handsaws, the pulling of hoisting engines and the noise of other work around the grounds gives the whole scene an appearance of ae- tivity and hustle that seems to in- sure the completion of all the big buildings long before the exhibits arc prepared to put in them.
 Director of Works Isaac $. Taylor is preparing to let the contract for the construction of the Art building. The plans and specifications are now ready for contractors, having beer finished after several days hard work on the part of the office force of the department of works.
 \ part of this building will be per manent, and another part of it of temporary character. The entire building wsl cover an area of S30X450 feet. Much of the building will be iii the form of q court. The main DOT tion of this building will remain after the exposition as an art museum. The material from which it will be con- strueted will be largely marble. Two side pavilions will be built mainly of staff
 The revision of the plans of the Liberal Arts building is going right along, and it is expected that they will be ready for the contractors within the next few weeks.
