NEGRO LYNCHED NEAR WINNIE.

Wynne, Nov. 21.-At late hour last night masked mob took Lige Wells, colored, from a deputy sheriff and hanged him to a tree in a secluded spot near here. Wells had tried to cut the throat of Conductor Max Campbell of the Iron Mountain Rail- road between Augusta and McCrory Tuesday.
 The conductor tried to collect fare from the negro. A dispute arose and the negro made a vicious lunge with a knife at the conductors throat. The blade encountered Conductor Camp bells collar, which saved his life. The negro vas arrested and, upon ex- animation, was ordered here to await the action of the grand jury. Owing Co repairs being made on the Wood ruff county jail, it was decided to take Wells to Forrest City for safekeeping. Deputy Sheriff Patterson started to Forrest City with the prisoner. Pat terson and his prisoner boarded the local freight at this place just after dark, an6 before the officer was aware that lynchers were aboard eight or ten masked men sprang into the ca boOse and he was disarmed. The he gro was hustled away, and two hours later his body was found hanging to a tree half. mile from Wynne. Tie crowd had dispersed when the dis coyery was made, and there was no trace of the masked men and no clew left for the sheriff to follow.

NEWMAN ERE
 CONFIRMS REPORT.
Prsident of St. Louis, Memphis and Southeastern Says Road has been
 Absorbed by Frisco.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Newman Erb, trustee for the stockholders of the St. Louis, Memphis and Southeastern Railroad Company, and its late presi- dent, announces that on the 17th inst the sale of the stock of that company to the St, Louis and San Francisco Railroad Company was concluded at $47,50 a share. The entire capital stock of the St. Louis, Memphis and Southeastern, aggregatihg SIP, ,500, ,O0o, par value, was deposited with the Eastern Trust Company of New York to secure an issue of collateral trust notes, having forty years to run and bearing interest at the rate of per cent per annum, direct obligation of road Company, amounting in the aggregate to 84,00O, ,O00, par value, the proceeds of which are intended to provide for payment of the stock and further additions to the property.
 The St. Louis, Memphis and South eastern is approaching completion, and is to be finished by the Frisco company. Three hundred miles of the line are now in operation, and the remaining 150 miles will, it is expect ed, be completed and be open for business by April next
 In taking over this property the Frisco company completes the connec- tion between St. Louis and Memphis and furnishes the link between Mem phis and the southern terminus of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois (now part of the Frisco system) at Thebes. The St, Louis, Memphis and South eastern thus furnishes a connection between Memphis and Chicago and also between St. Louis and Memphis, giving the Frisco company direct and the shortest line between Bir- mingham and the Southeast to St. Louis.
 The St. Louis, Memphis and South eastern is a Waterle line and it's standard engines are carrying 5000 live tons per train load. The tonnage already developed, which will be turned over to the Chicago and East ern Illinois, will, it is estimated, add more than 1000, ,000 revenue to that road in the next twelve months

GRIP CONTAINED CHECKS.

A small hand grip was found in the railroad yards near the Iron Noun tain freight depot, Friday morning by the little grandson of William Gamble, who turned over his finding to Sheriff Randy.
 Upon examination of the grips con- tents, checks for several hundred dol lars were found, the majority of which were drawn upon the Bank of Para gould and signed by J. H. Kitchens, Jr., treasurer and by Ben Cox, cores bonding secretary of the State Bap- tist Association. Other papers as well as white shirt were found, but none prove the ownership of the zip, which was probably stolen and then thrown away. The owner however may have met with foul play and the sheriff has already taken steps to find out to whom the grip belonged. He must have been an officer in the Bap- tist Association.

GOULD'S PROPOSAL
 TO SPRINGFIELD

Springfield, Mo, Nov. 2O.-The long looked for opportunity to secure connection with another great rail way system has come at last. The Missouri Pacific Railway Company, through Russell Harding, general manager, has submitted a definite proposition to the people of Spring field to build a north and south line into the city. They ask the right of way through the county and city and depot grounds. This. will cost about $500 and there is no doubt that the sum needed will be raised. The building of this line will give Spring field two lines to Memphis, two lines to St. Louis, three lines to Chicago, four lines to Kansas City, one direct line to Jefferson City and two to Lit tie Rock,
