1t was not step lightly, there's Grape

gress headquarters this morning On the
contrary everybody connected with the
headquarters talked and moved about
with an air Of confidence. Hope had not
been abandoned. nor were the officials
of the committee cast down by the re
ports printed in the morning papers. as
far as appearances went.
Wait until the late and corrected re
turns come in. and then you will see

Chairman Griggs did not retire until
the wee sma hours last night. and
when he left headquarters # was with
the belief hat all had not been lost. and
that the news Of today would confirm
the statement issued before the cleo

the House. This morning again, Mr..
Griggs was not willing 10 accept the

Alfonso CancIani's monument 10 Dante
has at last won for him the grand prize

the Fine Arts after he has striven for

the art exhibitions OF many cities. In
Vienna the work formed part Of the
exhibition Of the section OF the Secession
OF which Canciani is a member Some
time ago Kaiser Franz Josef awarded
2, 600 gulden from his private purse for
the encouragement Of this artists work.
It is therefore looked upon as all The

climbing over the other They kick
each other with their feet, they crush
each other, heads and hands are inter
twined. they scratch the flesh Of their
companions. bite each other with their
teeth. and roll in misery upon the rocks
But scarcely have these bodies felt the

During the four years that Judge F.. D. Fulkerson has presided upon the criminal bench of this circuit, his honor had never been called upon to pass sentence of death until in the case of Wallace Grant, for the mur- der of Essex Powers, October 23, 1901
 When court convened after the noon recess Tuesday, and few pre- liminaries had been disposed of, among which was the refusal by the court to grant a new trial to Grant, the prisoner who had been brought into court, was requested to stand and offer reason why he should not receive sentence. He took matters very indifferently to all appearances, and as he began to speak, his face broadened for an instant into a grin. which was short lived however. As he mumbled something about it not being right, he hardly raised his eyes and very few could hear what he said.
 His attorneys interposed no ob- jection and Judge Fulkerson proceed ed to pass sentence upon the con- demned man. He seemed somewhat affected by the sentence it became his duty to impose, and after review ing the case in which he compliment ed the prisoner's attorneys for their able defense, Friday, September the 18th between sunrise and sunset was named for the execution day and the sheriff directed to carry out the or ders of court in the hanging of Wal lace Grant
 The condemned man is big, burly, black negro and his features and ap- pearance do not controvert the de- fense made of insanity The last hanging in Jackson county was that of the train robbers in 1893.

FRISCO DESIRES ENTRANCE.

Hon. H. L. Remmel, chairman of the republican state committee, and a former citizen of Newport, who has achieved distinction in two fields, business and politics, dropped off here Tuesday morning on his way home to Little Rock from trip to St. Louis.
 In a conversation with a reporter for this paper, MT. Remmel told an incident of his visit to the Worlds Fair city, which will be of interest to Newport, in that it relates to her. future, which must come through the acquisition of new railroads MT. Remmel while talking with MT. Par ker, who is the general attorney for the Frisco System, remarked that he had seen notice of the latter's visit to Newport and inquired concerning the intentions of his road.
 Mr Parker frankly avowed that they were to enter Newport by means of the Bonneville branch as soon as possible. The Frisco management has evidently been impressed with our little city and what lies within it's possibilities and desire to place them selves in a position to share the busi- ness of so prosperous a section and promising city.

That Newport will be a point on the the extension of the St. Louis, Mem phis & Southeastern Railwa y and that this railroad will in the near future commence the construction of it's line from it's present Southern terminal, Hoxie, in the direction of Little Rock through Lawrence, Jackson, Wood ruff, Prairie and Lonoke counties, app pear to be more than promising pos abilities but rather as probabilities, which are well supported in surveys that are now in progress.
 Robert Burges, with corps of dozen engineers, last week set out from Hoxie in southerly direction surveying for practicable route for the extension. From Augusta, also, party of surveyors in the employ of the St. Louis, Memphis & Southeast ern were sent south, the first party to make towards Newport, indicating that this city was down on the maps of the company for connection.
 Newman Erb, president; Judge Frank E. Burroughs, general attorney and E. F. Blomeyer, vice. president of the St. Louis, Memphis & South eastern were in Little Rock Monday and promised to build into that city from Hoxie via Newport and Augusta provided Little Rock should offer financial encouragement and grade of not over two per cent could be se- cured.
 i've are not prepared to say ex- actly what we will do,' said President Erb Monday Ut all depends on what assistance we receive from the citi- zens of Little Rock and those of the counties through which we propose to build our extension. Our proposed extension has not been incorporated yet and our trip here is in response to an invitation from the board of trade, with which we have been in correspondence for some time past We this morning submitted pro- position to Secretary Geo. R. Brown of the board of trade outlining what we would expect should we extend our line south from Hoxie to Little Rock.
 s'The first concession we ask is tn, t we secure a two per cent grade, which is ten and one- half feet to the mile, which is the greatest grade we will build. The second is that your cit izens treat us as kindly in financial way as they did the Choctaw, to which they gave bonus of $100,000. On this and the success of our engineers in locating the necessary grade will depend whether we build to Little Rock.
 "We would desire access to the in dustrials of the city, which are essen tial to the success of railroad, which is such all important matter that we could not see our way clear unless we could reach them over our own tracks.
