CONFUSION REIGNs
 AT STATE CAPITOL.
Decision of Supreme Court Invali- dates Number of Important Meas ures Heretofore Regarded
 as Safe.

Little Rock, July 17.-Everything is confusi on in the Arkansas state house over the controversy resulting in the death of nearly 100 bills passed by the last legislature. As one state officer put it tais afternoon, "Fhere is not a man in the building who can tell what bills became laws and what measures were killed by the recent decision of the supreme court"
 It was discovered that the fate of several important bills heretofore con- sidered safe are in doubt because they had the signature of but one of the presiding officers of the legislature Others were discovered having only the signature of the governor, while others were not presented to the gov ernor in time. The bill providing for the redigesting of the laws of the state and appointing w. F. Kirby of Texarkana digester are among tho number now considered doubtful.
 It is practically settled that the su- preme courts decision settles the controversy over the deaf mute ap- propriation bill, the second St. Fran cis levee bond bill and the branch normal school appropriation bill, and the bill providing for special teach ers' examinations in cities of the first class. The deaf mute appropriation bill carried $140,000 for the mainten- ance of the school for two years from April last. Auditor Monroe has de- cided to issue no more warrants upon that appropriation. He says the courts decision clearly places that bill among those that are dead.
 The St. Francis levee bond bill, which authorized a second bond issue of S250,000, the branch normal school appropriation bill, and the special teachers examination bill have met the same fate. The two institutions named will be closed unless the state can borrow funds to keep them open for the next two years, or Governor Davis will be compelled to call an ex- tra session of the legislature to make necessary appropriations. This, he says, he will never do.

DIsCUssIoNIN CoUNCIE
 oAooEe RESIGNATION.
Disagreement Between NHanhero ot Council and City Attor nev Over Question of Compelli,h ha Rail- road Company to Hdln Paw Cost of Front Street
 Paving.
(Tuesday's Dali 1v.A

The resignation of the citv attor- ney, Gustave Jones, is in tba bando of the city recorder and Will nrobobl, oe aooeo upoh aV Ohe ne eting of the council, called for to -niobt Tho resignation was caused hv differapoo of opinion between the citv attornev and what seems to be a majority of 0ne hieiilpefs ol one cioy council, as to WneUler or not 0he Iron Mountain Railroad Company coulh he comnelled to pay for half the costlof inc navino of Front Street, by treason of ite ownership of the park property, ad- joining the street upon one side.
 MT. Jones has contended that the property could not be included i'll the improvement district tax levy, but AL dermen Wishon and Bailey are of the opinion that the railroad may be made to stand it's share of the cost. Capt. Hurley also made talk before the council Monday evening upon this side of the question, and it seems highly probable that a new petition will be offered including this property in the taxable real estate.
 PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.
 All the members were present ex- cept Mayor Grubbs and Alderman Wilmans. The only item of import ance upon the minutes was the burn ing of $8, ,266.47 i'll cancelled scrip in the presence of R. H. Askew, T. s. Stephens and Chas. Shoffner. After which the council adjourned to Tues day evening at 80 o'clock.

NEGRO LYNCHED NEAR WARREN.
Committed Criminal Assault Upon Young White Girl, But Was Soon Captured By Mob and Strung
 Up to Tree.

Warren, July 20.-On Saturday afternoon about 2 o'clock a negro named John Green entered the resi- dence of w. B. Baker, a reputable white man employed at the Childs & Tracy mill, eight miles from town, and criminally assaulted his 14-year- old daughter. The mill was shut down for the day. A part of the force was in Warren and the remainder al re- Hgious service some distance from the mill. The girl was entirely alone, the only person on the mill premises being the watchman at the dry xilns, some distance off.
 As soon as the facts became known parties of men started in p,r-o-sg-of -of -Une ro.~-.rare- was captured near Lanark yesterday morning. Word was received that he would be brough, to town last night, but it was learned this morning that he was hanged by a mob last night about six miles from town, and within about two miles of the place where the crime was committed.

SUPREME COURT ENJOINS
 NORTH LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, July 19.-Chief Justice H. G. Bum, sitting in vacation, yes terday afternoon passed upon the application made by the city of Little Rock for restraining order against the election proposed to ke held in North Little Rock and the Eighth ward of the city of Little Rock on July 21, upon the question of separat- ing the Eighth ward from the city and annexing the territory to North Little Rock situated on the north side of the river.

CARTHAGE TO SPRINGFIELD.

Joplin, Mo-, July 16.-It is an as- sured fact that the projected electric line between Carthage and Springfield will be built. The route has been selected and construction will begin soon. The new road will pass Nichols through the western part of Green county and run through Lawrence county to Paris Springs, thence to Mount Vernon and through Stotts City on to Carthage, where it will connect with the Southwest Missouri electric railway. The distance of the new route is fifty five miles, twenty miles less than the Frisco route. !. W. Baumhoff, brother of the post master of St. Louis, is promoting the enterprise. The cost of the line will be $500, ,000. It is understood that the new line and the Southwest Missouri road will operate closely, making a continuous route of eighty-five miles from Springfield to Galena.

LILLE B. PIERCE
 TAKES THE STAND.
Claimant for Dover Interest in Es- tate of Late Colonel Imboden Tells
 Story of Their Marriage.

The taking of dispositions in the suit of Miss Lillie B. Pierce against the estate of the late Luther E. Im- boden, the wealthy St. Louis capital ist and former Arkansan reached an interesting stage Thursday, when the plaintiff took the stand in her own behalf
 She never wavered in any of her Statements. Her enunciation was as clear and distinct as that of the trained elocutionist, which she is, and her demeanor was that of an injured woman suing for her rightful name.
 Miss Pierce claimed that she first met the late Colonel Imboden in May 1898, that his visits became quite fre- quent, during which time they often discussed m&trimony. Imboden had told her that he had promised a for mer wife never to bring stepmother into his house, but he felt he must have companion in life and that the witness was the only one he felt like  marrying.
 The daughter of Col. Imboden was but child then and the marriage of Imboden to Lillie Pierce, performed July 27, 1898, was by agreement kept a secret, though the deceased and alleged husband had promised to make public their marriage imme- diately following the wedding of his daughter to Dr. Hugh G. Parrish. The claimant stated that she had taken trips with Imboden, the first to Hot Springs, where she registered under her own name and passed as the ColonePs niece, later to French Lick, Indiana, where they registered as man and wife.

ANOTHER SUNDAY WEDDING.

Sunday has proven quite a popular day for troth plighting, according to the records in the office of the county clerk, which contain an entry for the one just passed in the marriage of Mir. Orasho Conley to Miss Eva Austin, who were made one in this happy bond at 10 o'clock Sunday morning at the home of Mrs. MoIlie PoSter on Lower Front street by Justice Lucien B. Harris.
 Quite number of friends and rela- tives were present and offered con- gratulations upon the conclusion of the ceremony. MT. and Mrs. Conley left Monday noon for North Little Rock, their future home, where the groom is employed in the Iron Noun tain shops.
 The best wishes of friends go with them.

JUDGE CARROLL WOOD
 SHOWERED WITH FLO WERS.

Princeton, July 16.-(By Messenger to Fordyce. .)-The speaking by the three candidates for governor here today was enjoyed by 1000 to 1,5OO people, many ladies being present.
 The beautiful grove where the seats and platform had been arranged was at 10 o'clock a moving mass of people anxious to hear the speeches.
 Hon. A. F. Vandeventer of Morrill, ton opened with speech of an hour and half, after which dinner was served on the ground to all present. After dinner Governor Davis spoke for one half hours and was followed by Judge Wood. Mir. Vandeventer closed with fifteen minute rejoinder.
 MT. Vandeventer's and Gov. Davis speeches were about on the same line as their published speeches else where.
 Judge Wood, though evidently la boring from physical exhaustion fol- lowing his recent illness, made an ad dress that called forth an outburst of applause from the large crowd pres ent that must have been encouraging to him in the extreme. At the close of his speech showers of fiowersswere thrown to him.
 Everything passed off pleasantly.

SALOON KEEPER SARLO
 RELEASED ON BAIL

Little Rock, July 19.-Joe Sarlo, who killed J. D. Conant Saturday morning, was released from custody Saturday night by Justice Hart and placed under 2,000 bond to await the action of the Pulaski grand jury. Sarlo gave this version of the difficulty:
 ''It was case of kill or get killed with me and was little too quick for him, that was Ill there was to it.. Conant came in my place five or six times Friday night bent on trouble, and tried to pacify him as best l could. He had been drinking, but was not what would be termed drunk. Further than this have no statement to make"
 Conant was shot through the waist, the ball entering the top band of the trousers about an inch to the left of the flap and bored it's way entirely through the body. The bullet struck the wall on the opposite side and bounded back to the bar. It was slightly fattened as though it had struck a rib in passing through Co., nant's body.
