bling.

Geneva.-Andrew Giron, the French
tutor with whom Princess Louise OF
Saxony eloped, received a beating re-
Gently at the hands of the Archduke
Joseph, younger brother of the Prin-
cess. A violent scene was created and
it was only through the Intervention
Of the princess herself that the French
man was saved from a wodse drubbing
Archduke Joseph cane here in hopes
of persuading his sister to return to
the imperial palace. The princess con-
sented to see him, but insisted that
Giron be present at the interview. The
moment the tutor entered the room,
the archduke sprang upon him. The
princess went to the aid of her lover
and finally succeeded in tearing the
men apart Then she protected the
Frenchman from further attacks by
her brother.
Later there was another stormy in
terview, when Archduke Joseph met
his older brother, Leopold Ferdinand,
who accompanied his sister in her
flight. The younger brother upbraid-
ed the other in unmeasured terms for
the disgrace he had brought on the
imperial family. Archduke Leopold re-
torted that life, fettered by court ETH
quettte, was the most miserable con-
ceivable. AS archduke, he said, he felt
as slave, but as plain Leopold VOL
fng he felt like a free man, supremacy
happy.

Queens Dinner to Widows.

London.-Queen Alexandra's dinner
to the widows and children of those
killed in the South African war formed
the most striking demonstration in

Long before the festivities began
crowds gathered in the streets ad-
jacent to the Alexandra Trust building,
which was gaily decorated. Over 600
widows and 500 children partook. The
bright clothing of the children formed
a pleasant contrast to their mothers
widow weeds. Inside the building
there were military bands on each
floor, while Highland pipers, Punch
and Judy shows, theatrical troops and

THE NEW GAS LIGHT.

The lights of the new gas company, which have been placed in several store buildings, were given thor ough test Monday night and came through the examination with flying colors. In the language of Dr. Jones, treasurer of the local company, the lights surpassed the promises and de- scriptions of their promoters and elicited much favorable comment.
 The new company perform their undertakings in a business like way and a dispatch that is most commend able, having begun their work but a few weeks ago, and it seems the quality of the light they are to furnish will meet with as much public appro- val as the maDner in which they have expedited the work of putting ill plant and mains.
 c. J. Johnson, assisted by Chas. Champion is the inventor of the ma chine, by which gas is made by this new process. E. o. Darlington is general agent in the United States;
 w. H. Hipolite, state agent; John Humphries, general superintendent of the state; Joe Mahoney, loca manager.

SUGGESTED THE SENSATION.

The recent act of the governor in pardoning a negro convict, provided he would become resident of Massa- chusetts, is said to have been sug- gested from a conversation held by his excellency with a "DOwn Eastern" club woman, which he recently re- lated to a crowd of friends as follows: "On my recent trip north I was stopping at one of the big hotels in New York and chanced to fall into the company of a party from Massa- chusetts. They eyed me with some
 curiosity and suspicion when one of the women of the party, with a gen
 uine New England Yankee draW1, said: tOne of the serious problems
 that we have to deal with in Massa-
 chusetts is the admission of colored ladies to our clubs Some of these colored ladies are so refined and well
 educated and are such valuable mem bers of society that we cannot afford
 to reject them, doncher know?"
 "DOWn in Arkansas we call them
 niggers," replied the governor. This
 seemed to overwhelm the New Eng
 lander and she ejaculated: "And it is
 really true that you feed them on cot ton seed and it is not fact that Uncle
 Toms Cabin is correct reproduction | of southern treatment of the negro?''' The governor said he made no re- sponse but left the room. He said
 he had been laying awake at night to | devise some scheme by which he
 could play even on such fool tra- | ducers of the south and that he had l decided to make Massachusetts a present of few Arkansas negroes.

IAN ARKANSAS CALAMITY. .D

The latest official act of Governor Jefferson Davis, of Arkansas, by which he granted full pardon to ne- gro convict upon condition that the black would emigrate to Massa- chusetts, is noteworthy merely as an- other evidence that the most offensive vulgarity, the most grotesque buffoon- cry, the meanest bigotry committed by the ''new" Jeff Davis, is not as much an offense against the sense and propriety of the people of Arkansas, as the single vote cast by each elector, no matter how mean and ignorant, who helped to place him in the cap itol. His very name is libel on the old aristocracy of the earlier day for, whatever may be said against Presi- dent Jefferson Davis, he was cleanly of mind and person, sincere in his purposes and of true nature. His namesake's conduct, official and pri- vate, has been an affront to self-re- specting people in all States, and a calamity to the commonwealth which inflicted him upon itself. His record, thus far, is as carelessly and slovenly bespattered as the shirt ''buzzom''
 which is streaked With tho chrome dribblings of his manageable quid AS chief executive he is best meas
 ured by his tobacco eating methods
 He has bitten off chew too big for
 him and for the sometime comedy spotlessness of his surroundings. The
 negro of Arkansas may or may not be
 downtrodden, but that he is ruled by of commiseration.-St Louis Mirror l Independent.)

attention and must be fed, even at the expense of the publcs' good opinion. Perhaps this best accounts for some of the sensational moves of our CT ratic governor, of soft heart and equally soft head as the president ex pressed it. The ceaseless criticism of the South at the hands of Northern papers and public men is verify ex asperating, but it was not this pent up feeling of resentment for uncalled for advice that actuated Governor Davis in establishing this precedent of dumping one state's criminals into the borders of a sister state, but rather another of his tricks to catch the pub lie eye and feed his ever ravenous craving for criticism, be it commend atiOn or censure, for he apparently enjoys and lifts himself into the favor of the people as much by the attacks of his opponents as the support of his friends.

FRISCO HOLD-UP.
Four Masked Robbers Wreck Fast Train Upon Frisco Above Jonesboro-Dynamite Safe of Express Gar But Secure Little
 Swag.

One of the boldest train hold-ups ever occurring within the confines of this state, took place Friday night about four miles north of Jonesboro. when four masked men wrecked and held up the fast north bound Frisco train known as the "Southeastern Limited"
 This train due to leave Jonesboro at 10:16 D. m., was running at the rate of nearly 50 miles an hour, being eight minutes late when at 10:35, a man upon the track ahead gave the signal for slowing up by swinging a railroad lantern. This the engineer started to do, though he suspected a hold-up, when he saw that a switch had been turned just ahead. Running at such a rate, he we'll knew the dan ger facing the train, and applied all the brakes. The engine, mail and ex- press, baggage and smoking cars fol- lowed the switch track together with the forward trucks of the chair car, everything to the rear of this keep ing the main track. This caused the chair car to leave the track and al most turn over, giving the passengers a severe shaking up.
 Cries of a hold-up were heard and several passengers who sought to get out or look out were greeted with pistol shots and told to keep within.
 Leaving the wrecked train behind, the four masked men boarded the engine, requiring the fireman to re- main, and sped away with engine, mail and baggage cars, to point one mile beyond, where a stop was made. Nitro -glycerine was used on the saf e of the express car; the first discharge was unsuccessful, but the second shattered the safe, blowing pieces through the car.
 The headlight of the engine was turned out and the daring robbers continued their midnight ride upon the lone engine, to the beginning of the decline above Bonneville. Here they stopped and it is supposed took to the horses, which they probably had tied in the neighborhood.
 The engine ran down the decline :. and stopped in front of the section house, where it was found later by the engineer, who had struck out on foot, turned to his train about 3 o'clock with the engine, a wrecking train reaching the spot about the same time.
 By five o'clock the wreck had been cleared, the chair car being sent back to Jonesboro. The sheriff and a posse from Jonesboro had arrived, blood hounds having been tele- graphed for from Memphis.
 Karl Gravett was on the trainheld up and now carries pieces of the shattered safe. The railroad and ex- press people claim that nothing much was secured.
 The robbers wore handkerchief masks and very poor descriptions of them can be furnished. The leader of the desperadoes was short and chunky, armed with shot gun, while the others carried Colts revolver.s

ESCAPED ELECTROCUTION
o. B. Ferguson Badly Burned at Power House of Electric Light Company. Shock Saved
 Him.

Thursday evening about eight o'clock a very serious accident oc- cured in the dynamo room of the electric light plant. Larry Young, the regular night man in charge, was off duty and his place was being tempo rarily filled by o. B. Ferguson.
 While standing upon stool work ing with a lamp, he came into contact with a live wire with his right hand, which was badly burned as a conse- quence. He would probably never have been able to release the wire had not the shock thrown him off the stool and back upon the flooring, bruising his shoulder but luckily saving his life. He is getting along all right, though his burns were quite severe.

ATTENTION TO ARKANSAS.

Governor Davis bid for notoriety in the pardon of Andrew Thompson, a
 negro, provided he become resident of Massachusetts seems to have turned the eyes of the whole country upon Arkansas chief executive. It is neither an evidence of greatness nor ability to be read of and talked about. Criminals and freaks enjoy this dis tinction, which is called notoriety in such cases, but small minds, misled by vanity seem hardly to distinguish the gulf of difference between reputation and notoriety. Their egotism craves
