Mayor Fined Marshal for Disturbino
From Duty.
UP TO THE COUNCIL TO ACT

The title town of Rpdfield is said
to be considerably wrought up over
the differences existing between the
mayor and the city marshal. For
reasons which he deemed entirely
satisfactory, Mayor w. +. Campbell
recently decided to discharge Marshal
McCreet from the office, and for rea-
son just as satisfactory to himself Mar
shal McCreet is said to have refused
to be discharged. Recently it was
alleged that the city marshal got
drunk and became bCisterOus. At any
rate the mayor filed formal complaint
against him, it is said, charging him
with disturbing the peace and dignity
Of the It little city of Redfield.
The alleged offender was brought in
to the mayors court and fined the
sum of $40 and costs. The mayor
then proceeded to suspend him from
office pending the action of the city
council at its next regular monthly
session. Thus the matter rests, and
thus it will continue to rest until the
council meets again.
Reports emanating from Redfield
state that the town is considerably
divided on the question Of the relat-
i've merits of the two sides to the con-
troversy, and there is a good deal of
division, which has engendered some
feeling among the peaceable inhabit-
ants of the town.
The city council, however, will
probably put a quietus to the whole
matter as soon as it meets again in
regular session, as the city dads Of
Redfield are known to be men of good
sound and solid judgment. They will
doubtless canvass the trouble thor
oughly before rendering final de-
cision, and when rendered 1t is ex
pected to end the dispute.

INTERVIEW WITH MR.. BLOOM.

1--WE have no proposition to submit
to the people of Pine Bluff, and will
submit none, save the proposition Of
disposing of stock in our company"
said Mr.. E. P. Bloom, of the Pine
Bluff North and South railway COM
pany, to reporter for the Graphic
Saturday afternoon.
1t will be borne in mind that the
Pine Bluff North and South company
propose to build a line of railroad
from this city north and south, and
the southern route includes that ter
ritory which the Southern Develop
ment company propose to take in
with their new line from here tc
Monticello, and who recently submit
ted a proposition to the peple of this
city for subscriptions to the amount
of $4,000 and right-of-way through
the city. AS this proposition seems
to have fallen through, the chairman,
D. C. Bell, CT the committee appointed
to solicit the subscriptions, having
declared, in a recent interview, that
the committee had given up hope of
raising the money, the eyes of the
Pine Bluff public naturally turn to-
ward the promoters of the Pine Bluff
North and South company for an ex-
preston from them as to their in
tentions. Hence, what Mr.. Bloom,
who is recognized as one OF the men
nest closely identified with the con-
Germ, says about the project will be
read with more than passing interest
by those at all interested in new
line south of the city.

DID NOT PROVE INTIMIDATION BRIBERY CASES AND TEe
TIMoNY OF FAILS TO PROVE THAT COOK
WAS IMMUNITY

Little Rock, July 1.-The features
of the Covington bribery trial were
failure of the defense to establish by
the memers of the grand jury that i'm
munity from Indictment had been
promised M. D. L. Cook if he would
testify to the truth in regard to his re-
lations to Senator Coyington, and the
testimony of Covington.
All the members of the grand jury
had been summoned by the defense,
but enly four were called and then
Col. Murphy, soto voce, remarked to
his co-counsel, ooh, we'll; they will all
testify to the same thing Messrs.
John A. Ellis, E. A. Ramsey, Sam
Churchill and J. F. Schaer testified
that no premise was made to Cook by
the grand jury, or by Mr.. Rhoton in
their presence, that he would not be
indicted, but all said that he did say
Cook would ssbe treated right. and that
lenience would be shown him. if he
would tell the truth.
It was 81 p. m. when Senator Gov
ington was unexpectedly called to the
stand, and his evidence was watched
most carefully by the assembled
throng. He entered a general denial
Of all the evidence given against him
by Cook and Cox and declared in pos
tive terms that Cook did not give him
any money whatever, as he had sworn
that he had done, and that neither CT
them had attempted to lobby with him
or solicit his support of the capitol
bill sAnd they know it, said he in
emphasis.

800 Rioters Dead in Odessa.

st. Petersburg, July 1.-During the
wild riots fednesday night in Odes-
sa about 800 rioters were killed by
the troops and several hundred we're
wounded, number of them being
Jews. Many drunken rioters perish
ed in the flames.
Early last night the Kniaz Potem-
kline opened fire on Odessa. The fir
ing of two blank shots was followed
by two solid shots, but they passed
over the town and did no damage.
1t is reported that the battleship coal
ed and provisioned from the steamers
in the harbor and weighed anchor at
daylight.

He coNFEssEs HIS CRIME

A negro believed to be Jim Jones,
who shot City Marshal Newton of
Camden several days ago, is under ar.
rest here, and is being held for iden-
;ification by the Camden officials, one
of whom reached the city last night,
and will have an interview with the
prisoner today.
There is every reason to believe
that the police have succeeded in
rounding up the right man at last, as
he has already been identified by one
party from Camden, and in addition
to this has made a confession to his
fellow prisoners in the Jail Saturday
afternoon.
zones, if that be his name, has many
aliases. among them being Parker
Washington, Charles Washington, Jim
Phillips, Jim Lightning, Jim Street,
and probably several others. To
these many the woman who accompa-
nies him acknowledges; and she has
given out me very damaging infor-
nation to the city authorities rel
tive to the man who is in prison.
If he should prove to be the right
man, as is now confidently expected
that he will, the arrest is an import
ant one, as Jones is a much-wanted
individual in the city of Camden, be.
sides other places where he has been
in trouble Of serious nature.
His arrest was purely chance
pickup on the part of the officers, but
considerable credit attaches to the
work of the detectives in ferreting out

confirmed in general way what was heard
Yesterday concerning poor prospects for the
Russiau crop. There was also enlarged Eu-

s,pgested a possibility of better export bus-
ness In the near future Numerous reports
from private sources were received from the
snring wheat districts but advices regarding
damage by rust were decidedly contradictory
some of the reports claimed that the crop
would be OF exceptionally good quality Other
reports asserted that great damage had al
ready been done by the blight During the

cause for the late weakness was a favorable

crop in the Northwestern States Heavy
