Died in Strange Land.

The remains of an unknown man were found on the farm of R. D. Horn near Paris. Only the bones. which were stripped of every vestige of flesh, presumably by hogs and dogs. were left. His clothing and what few trin- kets there were indicated that he was tramp and from all that can be sur missed he doubtless died from an over dose of morphine, evidence of which was found, or that he froze to death.

 Fatal Gasolias Explssisn. 2 \ disastrous explosion occurred inA the Turf Exchange at Hot Springs about 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Christmas eve. About thirty persons were injured. four fatally. The buil1- ing was completely wrecked. The. place was lighted with gasoline, and ai large tank of this combustible was kept in the rear of the building.
 The explosion was caused from eighty-eight proof gasoline being pumped into lighting apparatus, from which there was leakage. The gasoline was on the floor in an ad-i joining room, and some one entering from the pool room with lighted ci- gar set the explosion off. Ben Murray. who handled the gasoline, had his lungs damaged badly. He was blown against the wall and injured in formally.

sensa tIoa in Courtroom.

A sensation was caused in the cir. cult court room at Fort Smith dur ing the progress of the Root slander case, when Miss Agnes Frizzell, the plaintiff, fired shot, supposedly at lMr. Root, which grazed the scalp of Col. Brizzolara, one of the counsel in the case. The islander trial grew out of statements made by MT. Root when he was publishing paper. All the testimony had been taken and the court asked both sides how much time was wanted for argument. Miss Frizzell, who had taken an active part in the conduct of her case, stated that she desired an hour and half. "A few words were passed between Col. Brizzolara and Miss Frizzell, when the latter moved over toward where Mir Root was standing. Col. Brizzolara, fearing tragedy, stepped toward Miss Frizzell and MT. Root, when the former quickly drew re volver and fired one shot, supposedly at the defendant. but the shot grazed the temple of Col Brizzolara. The widest excitement followed and court was immediately adjourned. Follow ing the scene the young lady became hysterical and was removed to her home. The excitement caused her to become seriously ill A serious diff ficulty between Col. Brizzolara and a brother of Miss Frizzell was averted by the interference of officers, both parties being armed. All the parties concerned stand high in the commu. nifty, and further trouble is feared.

There was n sudden and a wholly unex-
pected drop in beef. lamb and other pro-
visions today. but It was one which will
not make them come any cheaper to the
consumer.
The fact Is that there was a bad col
lapse at Nelson. Morris a. Co.'S cold stor-
age house, at the corner OF Canal and
Smith streets.
The interior of the building was
wrecked. a valuable fee box was reduced
to splinters and large quantity OF
dressed meat and barrelled provisions
dropped into the Moshassuck river.
The accident was one that is liable to
happen at any time 10 all the cold stor-
age houses that are over the old canal. for
the weight OF each is great and the sup
porting spiles are more or less decayed.
When Nelson. Morris e. Co.'S shop was
closed Thursday evening there were $50
tons OF ice i'm the big box which occu-
pied the second floor. and under this were
hanging 100 sides OF beef. 40 carcasses of
dressed lamb. many barrels of pork. tripe
and a quantity OF dried beef.
Just before closing the place the clerks
heard loud noise. like the discharge OF
a pistol.
An investigation was made and one OF
the spiles was found to have been broken
