be OF great importance to Little Rock

at present received by Memphis on

sissippi have taken almost the entire
crop to Memphis and in return the
Memphis supply houses have furn-

needed When the new road is COM
pleted it will connect with the Iron
Mountain at two places and that road
will handle most of the produce of the
plantations, and the meTc1iants OF lit.

the planters and can make them rates

of their trade.

The pa tienIars Of the accident are
exceedingly meager The news did
not arrive at Memphis until yestea-
day morning, when Capt Ed NoWIand.
president OF the Arkansas Packet COM
pany received telegram from F
A. stanfield. master of the vessel The
dispatch is dated at Dumas. which
IS small village about eighteen miles
inland from the scene of the accident
Capt. stantield's message states
that the vessel sank at : O'Clock at
the foot of Smiths cutoff and that She
i. lying against the bar There is
two feet of water on the fo3ecastIe
and it is up TO the boiler deck on the
outside aft. The hole is on the star
board side, near the stern. AMI is
about the size Of barrel.
From the reading of the telegram
river men believe that the steamer
hit submerged snag and punctu! cd
hole in her side
The underwriters We're notified i'm
medlately after the news OF her loss
reached Memphis They have ordered
a wreeking crew and divers to the
sunken vessel from Louisville, and the
outht is expected TO pass Memphis to-
Gay An attempt to aise the steamer

and crew reach the scene of the ac-

capt Ed N0Wland left last night by
rail for Little Rock. 1t is his inten-
tlon to charter another packet TO take
the place of his unfortunate vessel in
the Arkansas river trade, until the
repairs on the John H. Harbin. now
on the ways at Paducah, are com
pleted.
Capt Ed Nowland expressed con-
siderable doubt yesterday as to wheth-
er Il would be possible to raise the
Lucille, owing to the peculiar position
IN which she is said to be lying, The
Lucille was built in Pittsburg four
years ago, and is practically a new
poat, beng constructed especially for
the Arkansas River Packet company.
There was a strong rumor out on
the leyee yesterday afternoon to the
eHect that negro rouster had been
drowned in me wreck. An effort
was made to trace the report down,
but the officers of the company knew
nothing OF it, and it could not be
confirmed.
The Lucille Nowland is the third
boat that the company has lost in
the last five months The Delta sank
near Myersburg last March, and is
only just off the ways now, while
the steamer Vicksburg is lying wreck
