Criminal Record for 1901.

Clio Harper, in the Little Rock
Democrat, publishes a careful compi-
iation of the criminal statistics OF the
state for the past year. During the
period noted there were four lynch
ings, as follows: February l9-Pete
Berryman, colored, Mena, for assault
on a child; March 22-George Chez
yerie, murder; April e-May Hearn,
Osceola, murder; June 3-John NAL
10y, Hamburg, horse-stealing. There
was a considerable increase over the
year preceding in the number OF hom-
icides, and there were fourteen legal
executions, whereas there was only
one in 1900. The per cent Of justifi-
able homicides is very large, in many
instances the killing having been done
in clear self-defense. In some in
stances the guilty parties are now In
the shadow of the gallows, while many
of the assassinations have never been
solved and are likely to remain a
mystery for all time. In many other
cases convictions have been had for
murder in the lower degrees, and SEN
tences pronounced ranging from one
month to life Imprisonment Below is
comparative statement of the past
four wears.

Failures In Arkansas.

Dun's commercial agency reports
the number OF business failures In
Arkansas for 1901 to have been 222,
against POI for 1900, with liabilities of
$l.O44 1893, compared with liabilities of
$75S,64l for 1900. In general way,
speaking of the years record, Dun's
Review says: "The increase IN num-
Der of insolvencies Is by no means evi.
dence of poor business conditions, but
on the contrary, may be the direct re-
suit Of exceptional prosperity. A
greater number OF new firms were or
ganized than in any previous year, Ow-
ing to the larger earnings by men in
salarled positions, and the better re-
turns from small investments, This
great increase in competition natur.

while numerous new ventures, backed
by insufficient capital and sadly def.

swelled, but these insignificant disas.

A SHOCKING CALAMITY.
Nearly a Score CT Miners Imprisoned Br
Caye-In at the Nagaunee
(Mich.) Mines.

Negaunee, Mich, Jan. Sine mus
distressing accident occurring IN 'hi'
county for years occurred at 'he
Negaunee mine yesterday at noon
when, by cave-in the lives Oh
thirteen to seventeen miners are
thought to have been lost. The cave
in was at the bottom OF the o'o
shaft. Had it occurred hall an hodr
sooner about $50 men would have
been killed The names OF the ueao
so far as known are:
William Williams; married.
John Sullivan, single.
John Paschoe, single.
John Pearce, married.
Jacob Hunlalla, married.
Thus far but one body has peeh
taken out. that of Hunlalla, and one
man was rescued alive,
Hundreds of men are at the NINE
eager to help in the work OF rescue
but it is thought the other bodies
can not be reached within twen'y'
four hours.
The miner rescued is Dominic Bas-
so. an Italian. Basso describes the
disascter in the mine as follows:
"We were sitting around the pump
at the bottom Of the shaft, when,
without warning, thousands OF tons
of ore came down. | remembered no
more until | heard the sound of picks
and shovels in the hands of rescuers,
and their shouts. / was in total
darkness and my feelings can not ne
described. What seemed ages to me
was but minutes. When the rescuers
reached me ! was $50 feet from the
place where | was sitting and found
myself in drift. Now | got there
was a mystery, but it can only be
accounted for by the concusssion OF
the wind"
The Negaunee mine is one of the
most unlucky properties in the Lake
Superior district. Much trouble in
sinking and drifting has resulted
from surplus water and quicksands.
1t was at this mine that $1,000,o0o
was recently expended to sink shaft
TO the ledge.
