SPECIAL TERM SOUGHT.
County Judge in Response to Request Of Attorneys for License Calls Special Term of Court-Course
 Was Taken as Safeguard.

Again the legal battle for and against the licensing of saloons for the next two years has been postponed. This time, to the 26th day of January, for which date, the county judge has call ed special term of court for the pur- pose of considering the motion of the license advocates' attorneys, asking the court to set aside the order of January 11th, 1901, refusing license.
 The attorneys for the prospective saloon keepers made this request of the court for special term, to safe- guard their clients upon the point raised by the counsel for the prohis, who contended that the regular January term of court had lapsed be- cause of failure upon the part of the court to adjourn to a specified date.
 Upon the opening of court Friday morning, the stenographer's report of the evidence presented Monday was read for the benefit of Attorney J. M. Stayton, who was not present at the former hearing.
 When this had been concluded, MT. Stayton addressed the court, stating that after conference of the at torneys for license, who sought an un questionable verdict, they had reached the conclusion that the best way out of the difficulty would be to take an abundance of precaution and ask the judge to call special term of court. He cited the law in this regard, which accords the county judge such an au thority, in cases of the county's. well fare, after ten days notice being given in such public places as are specified by statute.
 He argued that by this course, the attorneys for license did not admit the contention of the other side as to the illegality of the present court, but rather preferred to cut out any ques- tion of the courts legality.
 Attorney Gustave Jones supple mented these remarks in asking that the court adjourn, declaring itself without jurisdiction at this time. Judge Jones so decreed and has called a special term for January 26th.
 Just what may be expected then is not known, but in the opinion of some, there is a question as to whether a license issued by a special term of court becomes effective before the next regular term.

MIXED TRAIN WRECKED.

The mixed train on the ChoctaW due here at 10:30 a. m. from Brinkley was wrecked 12 miles east of town Friday morning, just beyond Village Creek, near what was once known as BuckaleW station.
 The train was in charge of Conduct or Cline and running at a low speed when by spreading of the rails, one car left the track and carried all others with it, except the caboose and engine. The track was torn up for 200 feet, but the negro brakeman was the only person injured.
 Among the passengers were Shell Simmons, B. B. Bond, Allie Huddles- ton and J. T. Hamblett, the cotton seed man of Augusta, the last named being thrown into the aisle and very badly shaken up.

COLONEL MINOR TALKS
 FOR HIS HOME TOWN

"Col. Lancelot Minor, one of New ports most prominent citizens, was visitor in the city of Little Rock Thursday" says the Arkansas Ga zette "The colonel is the superin- tendent of the city waterworks at Newport, which he has brought to a high state of perfection. The town boasts of as good a service IS Little Rock or any other city in the state. There is strong movement on foot now, says Col. Minor, to obtain much
 needed sewers. The streets in some places are knee-deep in mud. New port and vicinity now, however, are more exercised over the erection there of first-class federal building than anything else. Last Monday the postoffice was destroyed by fire, the loss to the postmaster being about $1,500. Col Minor gave up his office for postoffice purposes, in order that the mail S rvice might continue. A petition will soon be sent to the de- partment at Washington asking the erection at Newport of substantial federal building, the destruction of the old postoffice giving good grounds for the demand. The citizens of New port, numbering over 5000, believe they are entitled to the same consid- eration from the national government as other towns of Arkansas. Newport is becoming one of the largest cotton markets in the state. There are two congresses in the corporate limits. The cotton handled there this season will amount to 95,000 bales, and there are few other towns in the state hand ling this number. Newport may rank second or third in Arkansas, having only Little Rock, Helena and perhaps TeXarkana ahead of her."

TOOK TO THE WOODS.

A neighboring exchange tells us that when the Hoxie, Pocahontas & Northern railroad was first built, the people of the little town of PocahonA tas fiocked to the railroad to see the first train. The engineer having reached the end of his run, and think ing to have some fun, climbed down from the cab and commenced oiling the engine. This aroused the curios- ity of the people, and they crowded around the engine to see what he was doing. Having oiled up he made two or three jumps from his cab, pulled the whistle cord, turned on the steam and opened the cylinder cocks and yelled: "Look out, Pm going to turn round" Immediately there was scamper for the hills.

GIRL BURNED TO DEATH.
Miss Cora Metcalf of Newark Meets Death in Horrible Manner Clothing Ignited While
 Starting Fire

Miss Cora Metcalf, fourteen year old daughter of Joe Metcalf of New ark, met with painful accident Mon day, from which she died Wednesday night says the Journal of that town.
 She was kindling fire in the kitch- en stove and in some manner her clothing became ignited. She became frightened and started to run out in the yard. Her sister started to her rescue, but the frightened girl outran her. The father, who was in an ad joining room, heard the screams of the unfortunate girl, and grabbing a quilt off the bed, started in pursuit He succeeded in catching his daughter and, wrapping the quilt around her, extinguished the flames, but not until the unfortunate young lady was hor- ribly burned.
 Her clothing was almost entirely burned from her body and she was borne to the house and everythiDo possible done for her that could be done by skillful and willing hands.
 Her condition, however, was such that she was beyond the aid of human skill and on Wednesday night death came to her relief.

KEEL'S JOINT RESOLUTION.

Hon. John Keel, the representative from Jackson county, he of the "Tall White Oaks," as he is familiarly known, has a joint resolution which he will introduce Tuesday in the house, providing for the appointment ! of five expert farmers to go to the Cummins plantation in Lincoln county to investigate the conditions there and to report the same to the legislature. The names of the gentlemen whom MT. Keel will propose are: Col. v. Y. Cook of Independence county, Col. Jeff Fletcher of Pulaski county, Hon. William H. Eagle of Lonoke county, Col. Charles M. Kervey of Hope, Hampstead county and A. A. Isabel of Jefferson county. MT. Keel is op- posed to the plan of taking the entire general assembly to the farm. Half of them are business men, he says, and would not be able to estimate the farm properly. He says that the gen. tlemen whose names he will present to the legislature are perfectly capa- ble of making thorough and exhaus- tive investigation of the worth of the farm. Besides, it would cost several thousand dollars to send the whole legislature to Lincoln county, while the sending of these expert planters would not cost anything like such a sum. Some of the provisions of the resolution are as follows: The com- mission shall take not more than twenty days to make it's report, which shall be concerning the location of the place, the desirability, the class of soil, whether it overflows, and if so, how deep; if it has Johnson grass to any extent, drinking water, health, etc., timbered land, extent and value of the same, and anything further about the farm they may deem advis- able and pertinent. The commission CTS shall receive a compensation of $10 day, with actual expenses, and the services of one clerk, one stenog- rapher, one surveyor and one civil engineer to aid them. MT. Keel says that since both sides desire an inves- tigation it would be far better for the interests of the state to employ ex- perts and save time to the legislature and expense to the state.

SENATOR JONES'
 SUPPORTERS CAUCUS
Defeated Resolution Calling For With drawal Of Senator's Name From Contest After Heated Dis
 cusSiOn.

A caucus of members of the general assembly instructed to vote for Sena- tor Jas. K. Jones for United States senator met in the hall of the house of representative Friday morning at 11:40 o'clock.
 Hon. J. W. Ellis of Hampstead coun- ty was made chairman and Senator Ben E. McFerrin of Newton county secretary,
 The object of the caucus was stated by the chairman. Senator Greed Caldwell of Jefferson county sent up the following resolutions:
 Whereas, The two candidates for United States senator saw fit to place their destiny in the hands of the vot- CTS at the primary election held on the 18th of March, 1902; and Whereas, One of the candidates, to- wit, James P. Clarke, received ma jority of the popular votes cast at said election and a majority of the delegated votes in the legislature for said office; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That it is the sense of the caucus that the following telegram be sent to Senator James K. Jones, the defeated candidate at that primary election
 "A caucus of the senators and rep resentatives representing the counties carried by you at the primary election on the 29th of last March was held to- day and they desire that you request that your name be not presented to the legislature as candidate for United States senator. They believe that James F. Clarke is the Democrat ic nominee of Arkansas for that of fice."
 Considerable excitement was caused by the reading of the resolution, and cries of "Vote it down" were heard over the house.
 MT. Chestnut of Fulton county se- cured the floor and moved the adop- tion of the following substitute:
 "Resolved, That it is the sense of this caucus that each member of the house and senate cast his vote as he has been instructed by his people,"
 MT. Keel of Jackson said his county had instructed for Jones, but in view of all the circumstances he believed it nothing but right for Senator Jones to withdraw. That if Senator Jones did not wish to abide by the result of the primary what right did we have to expect any other Democrat to do so? It absolutely nullifies the primary-a Democratic institution, made for Dem ocrats and operated by Democrats. He hoped the substitute would not prevail, but stated if it did he would carry out the instructions of Jackson county.
 The chair ordered the roll called, and the substitute was adopted by vote of 37 to 8.

During the time the local stopped here the colored boys entered the coach and seated themselves near the property they were after. Balch dropped off to sleep and the boys se- cured and got away with his grip. The theft was reported to the marshal and Sheriff Morgan, and they soon spotted Pinkney Couch and Jessie Shaver .~ Another colored boy named Simpson was also arrested but it de- veloped that he took no part in the matter. Soon after stealing the grip, which contained $40 in cash, new suit of clothes and ladies' watch the boys left town. They were finally lo
 cated at Evening Shade where Sheriff Morgan found them and brought them back to Batesville. After being ar rested the boys confessed to getting the property, all of which was found where they concealed it, except some $6 or $7 in money which they spent. They are now in jail and will after the next term of the court be ready to ac- cept a pardon from the governor
