TESTIMONY WAKES WARM.
Altheimer And Attorney General Pas The Lie Murphy Says Former Offered Him a Bribe-COm-
 mittee Had To Intervene.

Little Rock, March Before the ways and means committee last night Louis Altheimer said that any insinu- ation that Governor Davis was to re- Ceive a consideration in connection with the sale of the AItheimer place to the penitentary board .'Was false as hell" Later Col Murphy passed the lie to Mr. Altheimer, and a scene of wild confusion followed. Serious trouble seemed likely for a few mo- ments.
 Louis Altheimer, the owner of the Altheimer plantation in Jefferson county, testified before the ways and means committee last night regarding his offer to sell his farm to the peni- tentiary board. He said, during his statement, in reply to Governor Dav-
 is, that the insinuation that he had offered the governor consideration was "false as he'll" Col Murphy asked Mir. AItheimer, "Don't you know you lie like dOg?" and said that he (Altheimer) had tried to buy him (Murphy) while on visit of in spection to the Altheimer place. For while the committee room was scene of wild confusion, and serious trouble W&S narrowly averted by the prompt action of the chairman, Dep uty Sheriff Barney Stiel and others.

BRUNDIDGE SAYS
 CLARKE BLUNDERED.

Congressman s. Brundidge of Scar cy while in Little Rock Tuesday gave out an interview to the Democrat in which he said that SenatorJ. H. Berry requested him to carry Senator-e elect J. P. Clarke a proffer of his services, in accord with senatorial courtesy, to escort him to the presidents desk when he was to be sworn in. He waited in the senate for him an entire day, but Mir. Clarke was delayed and did not come. When he did arrive the mission was performed by Con gressman McRae, and as has been told in the public prints, the offer was re- fused. Mr. Brundidge said in discuss ing the incident: CT am sorry Sena- tor Clarke adopted such course. 1t was mistake, and will follow him for long time. He will find that he cannot represent his people alone. There must be a unity and harmony of action among the colleagues to ac> cOmplish the best results.'

 Calendar.

By vote of 21 ayes to 50 noes the house yesterday failed to pass Repre- sentative Hale's bill abolishing the railroad commission.

Speeches in opposition were also made by Messrs. Perry, Michigan, Thompson, Bell, Marti- neau and Rowland Those speaking for the bill were Messrs. Tonev, But Ter, Holland, Chestnut, Burk and Hale. Practically the entire days session was devoted to the bill. After the vote was announced Mr. Futrell moved to reconsider the vote by which the blil passed and to lay that motion on the table The motion prevailed.
 By vote of II to the senate pass ed the house bill by Mr Campbell of Pulaski appropliating S20, 900 for the purpose of redigesting the statutes of Arkansas and empowering the su- preme court to appoint the digester. It was coutended by the opponents of the bill that two thirds majority was required to pass it and this contention was sustained by President Short, but an appeal was taken from the decision of the chair and the senate, 13 to Il, sustained the appeal. The bill now goes to the governor. During the dis cussion of the bill Senators Wood and Sengel took occasion to score Gov ernOr Davis.
 In the senate motion to take the Keel anti trust bill from the table prevailed and the bill was placed on the calendar, subject to call

It is said that the druggists are now selling more gnat oil than Peruna as the little pests are becoming bad and causing the stock much worry and suffering. As these insects thrive during wet seasons, the farmers in general fear that they will prove a dangerous pest this Spring. They hold sway just prior to the setting in of warm weather and are then super ceded by usurpers just as vicious, mosquitoes.

TRAINS ISOLATED
BY RIVER FLOODS

The flood situation in the Mississippi River district has grown more serious and the only hope lies in the reported fall of upper tributaries.
 All railroad traffic through the Mem phis gateway is tied up and cannot be resumed until the flood has subsided. So suddenly did the rise come in this section of Arkansas across the river from Memphis after the St. Francis levee broke at Trice's Landing, that two passenger trains were caught be- tween washed out points and are now Surrounded by water on blind tracks about three miles west of Bridge Junction. Seventy five passengers remained aboard these trains, one a Frisco and the other a Cotton Belt, over night.
 The Cotton Belt had run out of Mem phis first and had proceeded but few miles when in crossing a section of flooded track, the rails spread and the engine was unable to move either way. The Frisco train succeeded in pulling it back upon the track and a washout having occurred meanwhile to the rear, both trains were cut off from re- turning to Memphis.
