SELECTION OF SENATOR
 BY PARTY PRIMARY
Democratic State Convention Pre- scribes New Mode of Settling Senatorship in Interest
 of Gov. Davis.

Hot Springs, June 16. After adopting a lengthy declaration of principles the Democratic state convention finally adjourned at 12:30 p. m. today.
 The closing session was de- voted entirely to discussing the platform committees report. The platform as reported was adopted as a whole, with the ad- dition of a proviso introduced by ex-Senator J. c. South, authoriz- ing the state central committee to prescribe all the rules for the government of primaries through out the state, and that such rules shall be uniform.
 A lengthy discussion occurred over that part of the platform committees report which pro- vided that the candidate fol United States senator receiving the highest number of votes in the primary throughout the state shall be the Democratic nominee for that office.
 Objection to the proposition was that it destroys county lines, wipes out local self-government and makes itpossible for candi- date receiving a minority of votes. to be made the nominee for an office filled by vote of legis- lators, who should be guided by and be responsible to their con stituents. It was charged that the change was in the interest of Gov. Jeff Davis for United States senator.
 When the convention reas- sembled at 10 o'clock this morn ing, not more than 300 delegates were present. Many others had gone home and left proxies. The Davis forces retained control, however, to the end.

CIRCULAR SAW
 PROVES FATAL.
Charles Burrough Rode Log on Moving Carriage Until it Carried Him Into the
 Revolving Saw.

Hot Springs, June IF. -Infor- nation has reached here of a ter rible accident at the saw mill of Charles Burrough in Mill town ship, twelve miles west of this city, in which Burrough lost his life in peculiar manner by com ing in contact with a circular saw.
 Some mishap had occurred to the machinery. Burrough sat upon the log which was being fed to the saw to repair the de- feet, It is thought that he was so engaged with his work that he did not notice that he was be- ing carried into the saw until the teeth entered his flesh.
 He was horribly cut about the abdomen and one leg was com pletely sawed off, and death re- suited few hours after the ac- cident.

THE SABBATH EXCUR-
 sION-A PROTEST.

Editor Independent: AS a guardian of morality and a teach CT of the religion of Christ lean not have the approval of my own corsci nee without entering al protest against the unwarranted and wicked dissertation of Gods day by our citizens and young people who go on excursions on the holy Sabbath.
 1 I know the arguments to jus tify this, but the arguments on the other side are more and weightier. There are more in- functions against Sabbath desc cration in the bible than any one of the ten commandments and promises of abundant good to those who remember the day to keep it holy.
 This one promise is enough: Isaiah 58:13-14: ''If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord honorable, and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words;
 'Then shalt thou delight thy self in the Lord, and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.''
 Some will be ready to cry 'fogy," puritan, etc., but these things do not move me.
 l love our civilization, our peo- pie and our holy religion, all of which are endangered by Sab bath dissertation, and hereby re- spectfully enter my protest and beg our people to cease from this and fragrant wrong.
 Most respectfully,
 CADEsMAN POPE,
 Pastor Methodist Church.

 ANSWERS SUMMONS.
Had Beeh Attending Confederate Reunion at Nashville and In- tend ed Joining Family
 Rt Worlds Fair.

Nashville, Tenn, June IF. Major Thomas E. Stanley, a Con- federate veteran from Augusta. Ark, died here last evening of heart disease.
 Major Stanley had attended the Confederate reunion and had intended going to St. Louis, where his wife and family are visiting the Worlds Fair.
 Major Stanley was taken i'll at dinner and despite the efforts of two physicians succumbed soon after. His family was notified and will meet the remains in Memphis Saturday on their way home.
 Maj. Stanley was in apparently good health when he went to Nashville. He was prominent in central Arkansas and the news of his sudden death comes as a shock. He was mayor of Augusta, president of the Bank of Augusta, was a member of the house of representatives in 1877, 1879 and 1881, and in 1882 was a candidate for the Democratic nomination, for: governor, when Hon. J, H. Berry was nominated. He is survived by his wife, one daughter and two sons.

TROUBLE WITH
 AROUSE BOAT.

The Calico Rocket says that August Peterson and family moved onto their house boat last week, and on last Monday morn ing started down the river, headed for the Worlds Fair. Unfortunately their gasoline en- zine "went dead" below here and when they came to the ferry at Piney they were unable to give the signal for the ferry wire to be lowered, and the entire family had a narrow escape from being drowned.
 A fellow on the bank saw them just in time to try to raise the wire, while a man on the top of the boat made an effort to grab the wire and lift it over. The latter missed his mark and the wire caught on the pilot house. The boat swung around cross wise the river, water began pouring in over the side, and the women sent up a heart-rending scream for help. For an instant it looked as though the entire party were doomed, but in the nick of time the pilot house tore loose and the boat righted up. They landed the boat on an island just below the mouth of Piney, and at last accounts they were camping on the island, waiting for the river to go down.

BK8K. BOY. --+:--..-- ...-: Y ---,-.
 FOUND IN. WOODS.
liant Seems to Have Been Left ito Starve in Woods Near Con- federate Park Hunter
 Heard It's Cries.

An infant probably about two
 lonths of age was found Satur- ay morning in the woods about
 quarter of a mile from the
 onfederate park by a negro boy wing with Tony Martin, who
 ad been out squirrel hunting.
 The child had only a light gar bent to protect it and had evi- ently been laid upon the ground n a dress that was nearby, but
 he little fellow had kicked and quirmed several feet away. His heels were bleeding from his fu- tile efforts to get away and other indications pointed to him having laid there over night a prey to mosquitoes, for his face had been terribly bitten, and to hogs or wild animals that might have ended his life.
 The negro informed Dr. w. P. Shelley of his find and the two went after the infant. He was given milk by campers on the river and immediately dozed away, being exhausted from crying.
 The childTis being kept by Dr. and Mrs. Shelley, and County Judge, Dr. J. M. Jones author izes us to state that the little fellow will be given to some Christian family, who will adopt ! him.
 A man and woman were seen the previous afternoon near the park with an infant, but their identity cannot be established. There were wells near the spot where the baby was left, and if iAfanticide were the object, it seems that the crime would have thus been concealed. To leave a helpless infant to its fate of star vation or death in the jaws of a wild animal or hog is crime that no penalty would answer - but the gallows.

 ing at Vanndale.

ing at Vanndale.
 Vanndale, Ark, June 16- Spe. cial to Independent. Miss Mar tha Lee Mickey of this town and MT. A. c. Huddleston of New port were married at the Metho. dist church in this place last night at 8:30 in the presence of a wide circle of friends, the in- vited guests of the occasion.
 The ceremony was said by Rev. MT. Griffin of Cotton Plant, an eminent divine, and his strog, resonant voice made his words easy to hear in any part of the building. The floral decorations were very nice and as elaborate as could be well provided in this section of the country, a mag nifcent background of ferns, roses and evergreens of different kinds. The altar formed by the intertwining of evergreens in a very artistic manner and deco rated by countless beautiful white roses and being looked down upon by a large white bell entwined with pretty flowers was most pleasing sight for hungry eyes seeking after the things most beautiful. Four splendid arches, two on each aisle and in the front led the way to the al- tar.
 To the wedding march played by the beautiful and cultured musician, Miss Nina Block, the bridal party entered, the two ushers, Dr. J. L Griffin and MT. w. E. Reichardt, coming first. Next came the attendants, Miss Edith Hare and Mir. William Magoffin of Newport, then Miss McGregor and Dr. Will Mickey of Cotton Plant, then Miss Bessie Vann and MT. Herman Block, then the bride and her maid, Miss Blanche Mickey, who met the groom and his best man, MT. Maury Stephens of Newport, at the altar. All the colors and decorations carried out a wedding motif of white and green. White sweet peas, smilax, roses and evergreens were used profusely.
 After the ceremony the imme- diate bridal party was enter tained at the Mickey home, where the same motif in colors prevailed.
 The bride was dressed very elaborately and looked beautiful indeed. Her large, lustrous eyes shone like stars, but if possible the maid of honor, Miss Blanche Mickey, looked even more pretty than the bride. There is no prettier young lady than she and the added beauty of her charac- ter was plainly depicted on her countenance.
 The bridal couple left on the 10:30 train for St. Louis, where they will spend some time among the sights of the fair. Both the young people are of the best families, the bride being de- scended from one of the oldest and most prominent families of the South.
 Many handsome presents were received. Cut glass, silverware, checks, furniture and china were a delightful medley of the sub- popularity of this young couple here.
