Vigorous denials Of the story that
control OF the New York Central was
about to pass from the Vanderbilts to
other interests, have been made and
the Street generally has accepted them
with the proviso. perhaps. that while
they are through now they would not
be at this time next year There is
no desire to consider any of the deniaIs
technical they are all hat-footed and
without qualification. but the theory
of the Street based. perhaps. on some
uncertain knowledge Of market transac-
tiOns is that changes are imminent in
New York Central affairs. In conaider-
ing the deniaIs also IT is interesting to
note that at least Two Of the prospec-
tive purchasers mentioned in the pub
lished story have not been regarded az
possible factors in the situation at all.
among those who would be supposed too
know whereof they spoke.
The group that has been going the
rounds OF conservative houses in the
Street. dealt only with the possibility OF
the Rockefeller interests becoming the
dominant factors in Central affairs
While II may be assumed that any deal
on such a tremendous scale as the trans
fer OF control OF the New York Central
would necessarily bring in other impor-
tant financial interests. the principals in
the transaction. according 20 these the
cries. were only the Rockefeller and the
Vanderbilt interests. Close observers OF
the stool market have noticed. so they
say. that during the past six months
there has been a steady absorption OF
Central stock by the sO-called Standard
oil interests. This was perhaps the ker-
mel Of the whole story. and additions TO

Double Hanging at Star City.

Jay Green and James Ruffin, both colored, were hung at Star City for the murder of Don Me Ghee, another negro. The crime for which the two men were exc cuted was committed about a year ago. Three times, since their con viction, a date had been set for the hanging, but each time they were saved by legal proceedings. The date for the execution was finally set as February 13, but few hours before they were to ascend the gal lows, Gov. Davis granted re- prieve on account of a confession made by Green in which he de- clared that he committed the crime at the instance of Jennie Steb- bins, shooting McGhee from behind a bush with a shotgun, and that Ruffin was innocent. An investiga- tion failed to substantiate these facts and Gov. Davis ordered the execution to take place.

The complaint, which was filed by Pros ccuting Attorney Will H. Martin, named all the city and county of ficials and three of the proprietors of the Arkansas Club as plaintiffs. The charges are based upon an arti- cle which appeared in the Reform CT, making charges of bribery and corruption against certain high of ficials and claiming that the propri- etors of the Arkansas Club were paying for ''protection.''

Good Roads Law Framed.

The executive committee of the Arkansas Good Roads Association met at Little Rock and adopted a good roads law, which will be pre- sented to the joint committee of the general assembly on roads and high ways. The bill, which was framed by Judge Falconer of Sebastian county, provides for tax of $2 on the thousand for state road fund. It creates the office of state civil en- gineer and provides that any five or more residents on a road outside the corporate limits of a town may peti- tion the county judge for the i'm provement of such road, by guaran- teeing 15 per cent of the cost It also creates state board of road and highway commissioners, consisting of the commissioner of agriculture, secretary of state and attorney gen. eral.

HISTORY.
Is as Much an Act of Creation as g
 Painting Is.

Facts, however exhaustive and la- boriously acquired, are but the bricks and mortar of the historian: Fundamental, indispensable, and most highly respectable, but in their raw state they are the unutilized possession of the one, or at most of the few. It is not till they have un- dergone the mental processes of the artist, by the due selection and grouping of the materials at his dis posal, says Capt. A. T. Mahan, in the Atlantic, that there is evolved a pie ture comprehensible by the mass of men. Then only are they in any adequate sense communicated, made part of the general stock. Work thus done may be justly called a creation; for while the sey- eral facts are irreyersibly in- dependent of the masters fab rlcation, or manipulation, the whole truth, to which they unitedly corre- spond, is an arduous conception. To s.tain to 1t, and 10 realize it in words, requires an effort of analysis, of insight, and of imagination. There Is required also a gift of ex- preston, as often bafiled as is the attempt of the painter to convey to others his conception of an historic scene; which indeed he may find difficulty in clearly realizing to his own mental vision. This process, however. does not create history; it realizes il, brings out what is in it.

Ferry Boat Sunk.

The steam ferry boat Ezell sank in the Arkansas river near Pine Bluff, and the three members of the crew had a narrow escape from death. The men attempted to cross the river during a hard storm. The boat was driven into a pile of drift wood, which tore a hole in her side and she sank rapidly. The men clung to some driftwood until their cries for help were heard by a fish, erman, who rescued them in his skiff.

WHERE CLAY WAS BORN.
The Spring Still Flowing Whence He
 Used to Carry Water.

"A few days since I read how Abraham Lincoln, when lad, used to tote water for his mother from an old spring near their humble residence in old Kentucky said MT. John R. Gentry, of Ashland, Va, to a Washington Star re- porter. "Henry Clay used to per- form the same service for his moth CT, and the spring from which he used to carry the water is still flow ing near the site of the Clay home stead in the Hanover slashes. l was born within three miles of the birthplace of Clay, and have often drunk water from the Clay spring. It IS located about 40 rods south of where the house stood, under kind of bluff, from which the wa ter flows into basin, and which was stoned up with native rock up- ward of century ago.
 "Ihe house in which Clay was born was accidentally burned three quarters of century ago, and noth- ing remains but a pile of brick at the chimney end of the building. Tradition says that it was a modest frame dwelling one story high. The old mill to which Clay used to ride with his grist of corn, the lat ter deftly balanced on the withers of the animal he bestrode, has also disappeared. In later years when Clay began to grow famous he was called the mill boy of the slashes.' "A short time before Clay died he made a farewell visit to his old home, and the citizens of Ashland gave barbecue in his honor. The town was named after his country seat in Kentucky. Numerous steers were killed and roasted, and I have heard that there was something to drink. l was too young to be pres ent, but 1 have heard old citizens say that Ashland never before or since saw such grand time. Some happenings date from the flood. With some of our people everything dates from the time Mr. Clay vis- ited Ashland. People came from all the surrounding counties in OK farts, on horseback and in the heavy vehicles in use in those days. Mir. Clay made speech, from which politics was strictly excluded, and he mainly indulged in reminis- cences of his early boyhood.
 Patrick Henry was born not far from Clay's birthplace in Hanover county. The old courthouse in which MT. Henry used to plead his cases still stands, but the house in which he lived long since disap- peared."
