ECLIPSE POSTPONED.

The total eclipse of the sun. advertised by exchanges to come off August 30, has been post poned until Sept. 9, as it will be found very expensive and incon- venient to get up a total, or even partial eclipse, without the aid of the moon. The moon will be be- tween the earth and sun Sept. 9, and can be of service in get ting up an eclipse. August 30 the moon will have an engage mentin another part of the heav- ems, and cannot take part in such an affair.

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER
Caiifornia Ffsherman Catches Cuss- ous Fish Weighing 125 Pounds
 with Rod and Reel.

Edward Llewellyn, cornet soloist of he Catalina Island band, is a most en- thusiastic and picturesque angler.
 Recently he made the record Jewish catch. one weighing 425 pounds; the oth- q morning he though he would inscribe he tuna record also on his diadem, and taking tho Catalina hiked out after the biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to be taken. He had uncorked but small DOT ton of his stock of patience when his reel began to whizz.
 And then 1t whizzed. By consummate skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from getting away in the first grand rushes. and then he began on the aggressive. For an hour and 21 minutes a fierce fight tasted. 1t was aformidable-looki crea- eure that was at length brought alongside the boat, and there was debate, after 1t was gaffed, as to whether it would be 8 welcome addition to the crew.
 Hung up on the rack here. the creature began to excite comment. To the casual observer 1t was but moon-fish, rather unusual catch, but occasionally caught and brought in by being entangled in the oshermen's nets. This, however, was caught with hook and rod and reel, something unknown to fishermen hith- erto. A glance at the fish also showed a radical difference between this and the sword-ffsh.
 It's sword Is not so long as that of the genuine sword-fish of this length; the lower jaw Is unduly efonp gated. # has on It's back collapsible fin, which, when extended, stands up 15 inches above the ash, but folds down into a grove, until It Is unnoticeable: the tail Is like the screw of propeller, and very similar ID appearance to that of the tuna.
 The fish sharps are all guessing. The like of this has not been seen here before. nor can any enlightenment be had from any books on the subject to be had here.
 The strange creature is nine feet long and weighs 125 pounds. The sword Is "A inches long and the tail is 39 across.

BONDS GO TO ST. LOUIS.

Amos Jarman and Edwin Bev- ems, city clerk and city attorney, left on the Iron Mountain yester- day for St. Louis, carrying with them a fortune in bonds. Mayor Sliger came from St. Louis Sun- day and yesterday the entire is- sue of $150,0 was duly signed, attested and sealed. On the aft ernoon train the committee ap- pointed to deliver the bonds, ex- cepting Jos. Solomon, who went Sunday, left for St. Louis, carry ing with them a suit case con- taining the $150,000. By sending the bonds thus, the city saves something near $200 in express charges, besides leaving a com mittee on hand to make terms with the Lesser-Goldman Cotton Company in respect to the interest to be refunded in the event o1 some of the old bonds not being presented immediately for pay, ment.

YELLVILLE EXCURSION.

A large crowd took advantage of the last Sunday excursion up the White River branch. It was the first passenger train to run into Melville, and the citizens of that town were out three hun dred strong, with a brass band, to welcome the visitors.
 Free conveyances were fur nished to the town proper, which is ones and three-eighths miles from the station. It is import ant in giving this distance that one be exact in his figures, for it is said a fight occurred there Sunday over whether the dis tance was one and three-eighths or one and five-eighths of a mile. The one and three-eighths man came out a Jeffries, hence the matter.is forever settled, at least with pencil pushers not looking for trouble.
 The beautiful scenery of the Upper White river furnished a number of rich landscapes for the camera of w. D. Ross, and the passengers, too were one and all anxious to include themselves in thesesviews, causing the train a number of stops not scheduled and resulting in a delay that made their arrival here about l a. m. Monday. No regrets, how ever, were expressed over the late return, as all enjoyed the trip.
 Among those from here were Misses Jennie Mcclure, Bertie Darling, T. J. Sconyers and laughter, Mrs. Darling, Mir. and Mrs. W. A. O'Neal, John Hencke, George Foushee and Marcus Harris.

But for sudden protest by the bride the bridegroom at wedding in St. Mary's church, New Britain, Conn, would have been married to the brides- maid the other day. Peter Wood and Miss Rosa Strader, the principals, en- tered the church with Stephen Ferry and Miss Edwina Softleigh, the best man and bridesmaid When the party reached the altar the bridesmaid, in- stead of retiring in favor of the bride, remained at the bridegrooms side.
 Rev. J. T. Winters began the cere- mony, but just as he had reached the fateful part Miss Strader jumped up and asked Father Winters to stop.
 An explanation followed, the young women exchanged places. and the ceremony went on. The bridesmaid had never attended wedding before

MOVE MILLIONS AS RAGS.
unbonded Government Clerk Carri es Money from Washington to New
 York in g Suit Case.

Col. Edwards, chief of the division of insular affairs, recently told the story Of a bureau clerks remarkable trip few days ago with s3,000,O0o of government cash. The clerk is Marion E. Beall, whose home Is in Fort Wayne, Ind. For fear of robbery tho officials kept the trip secret until after the clerk had delivered his precious burden in New York.
 Under the direction of the insular department the hints and the bureau of printing and engraving have been making money for use in the Philip pines. To. MT. Beall was assigned the duty of overseeing the shipment of the money to the island possessions. The bureau Of printing and engraving turned out s3,0o0,00O in $1.0oo bills. The tnsular department wanted to get the money to New York. Beall went around to see the express companies about the cost of transporting the treasure. Flight hundred dollars" 7" said each of the companies.
 That's too much,'' said Col. Ed wards when Beall reported. Whats the matter with you putting the money in a suit case and taking it up yourself!"
 Why, sure. can take 1t if you are willing to trust me with it." said BealI.
 The money was put in a suit case and Beall, although not even under bond, carried it from this city to New York, whence 1t was shipped.

DON'T sNUB THE SPAGHETTI
The One Way to Create Consternn- tion In a New York Italian
 Restaurant.

When a customer enters an Italian restaurant in New York, he is supposed to have bestowed himself upon that particular establishment for the pur- pose of procuring spaghetti, says the Sun. The experienced patron yields to the requirements of the restaurant and enjoys the spaghetti when he gets it., though there is no positive assurance in an Italian restaurant at what point the spaghetti will appear any more than there is when the cheese or salad will be served. It is no unusual thing in an Ital- ian restaurant for dinner to be begun with salad, and cheese, grated and served In a saucer, is generally brought in with the soup instead of at the end of the re- past.
 The unsophisticated patron of an Ital- ian restaurant in New York, high or low. expensive or cheap, celebrated or new. can in one way only cause surprise, bor- dering on bewilderment, to the conduc- tors, employees and patrons of the es- tablishment alike, and that is by declar- ing with firmness at the proper mo- ment:
 T don't care for spaghetti. Take it away"
 Such declaration, seldom made and never repeated in the same restaurant has the same effect on the business done in 1t that the explosion of boiler has on locomotive. It brings everything 10 full stop. It ends abruptly the pop ularity of the patron there. He pays his score and departs. but not until he hAs cone % Is serenity restored.

He pre- diets that within two years Des Arc will be on the main line of a route from St. Louis to New Or leans. That this road would be extended to a point in Missouri where it will connect with the main line of the Frisco, which is Rock Island property.

PITTS REMAINS
 AGAIN REMOVED.
Bones of Carpenter Again Rest in Original Grave Whence They Were Removed.
 Lightle Visits Lit
 tie Rock.

Searcy, Ark, Aug. 25. Bit by bit the Lightle swindle continues to develop, and the deeper the detectives and the public delve into it's mysteries the greater the enormity of the crime appears.
 For the fourth time the body of poor Ed Pitts was inferred, the last interment having taken place yesterday afternoon. It was removed from the grave where it had been buried as the remains of Dr. Lightle and re- consigned to the grave from which it had been so ruthlessly removed. It was found that the left collar bone was broken the same as that of Dr. Lightle, which Dr. Moore had testified at the inquest that he had set.
 Four times the body has been removed. First 1t was taken from it's original resting place by the conspirators and carried to the stable of Dr. Lightle, where it was buried again, and kept there for twenty-three days, un- til the conspirators were ready for it's use. It was then removed to the stable which was set on fire. Two days later the charred human remains were inferred as those of Dr. Lightle with Mason ic ceremonies, John V. Robert as worshipful master of the local lodge, acting as master of cere- monies, when, if present charges be true, Roberts himself was one of the conspirators in the perpe- tration of the crime he was thus seeking to conceal. And yester- day Sheriff Woods, the sons of Pitts and several citizens went to the cemetery and removed the remains to the original Pitts grave, where they will probably rest undisturbed. The fact that the body was kept twenty-three days before it was burned has not before been made public. Doctor Lightle spent Thursday in Little Rock with his wife at the residence of J. A. Zones, where he was not invited to a meal with the family. Gregory also spent the day in Little Rock, but both refused to talk.
 Searcy is temporarily quiet in anticipation of the trials which are set for September 1 and 3, at which time a number of sensa- tions are expected to follow quickly on the heels of each oth- CT.

DEATH OF DIR.
 PRISON HENDERSON

To the Independent
 Newport, Aug. 25. -Dr. Brison K. Henderson departed this life at his residence in Auvergne on the 24th inst, at 7:30a a. m., and was buried at 10 a. m. Thursday, un- der the auspices of the Odd Eel lows and the K. of F., of which he was an honored member. Five hundred people attended his l funeral, and by their own request Capts. James Henderson, John Henderson, Hons. Walter Davis, George Harrison, Marvin Hare, Glen Handel and Robt. Drum mond were pallbearers and con- veyed the body to it's last rest ing place.
 Deceased leaves a wife, four children, aged parents, two sis ters and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
 His death was sudden and un- expected. Almost without note of warning he was stricken down. His large, generous heart ceased to beat and his spirit was usher- ed into the presence of that al- mighty and all-wise Being who hath the issue of life and death in his hands, furnishing us an other instance of the truth of the saying, in the midst of life we are in death.'
 How vain and transitory is life. How futile mans ambi- tion, how apparently worthless all his labors, how his brightest hopes are suddenly blasted. Here was high intellectual endowment, cultivated in the best schools of learning; here was solid learn ing and eminence in professional reputation and honors; here was pure character, admired and loved from birth to death, here was a combination of personal lineaments that attracted the gaze of every beholder. Nc prouder step ever graced the home. No manlier person ever sat in a castle hall. All this vanished and gone. Thus goes the glory of the world.
 No longer will we see his manly presence, that fine, honest face, nor hear the musical voice of Brison E. Henderson.
