session of Charles Fields.

Constable Frank Stewart returned Wednesday night from Memphis with out Charles Fields, for whom he had a warrant of requisition on a charge of embeZzlement A full history of the case has been given in the Graph ic, and it is only necessary to say that the prisoner was released on writ of habeas corpus by justice in Mem rhis, and Mir. Stewart was unable to arrest him without being in con tempt of court.
 When the trial was held Wednesday afternoon Mr. Stewart was put on the witness stand and asked if he could swear that the writ of acquisition was signed by the governor of Tennessee. He was unable to swear to that of course, as he had not seen the gover- ror sign if personally, although it was properly made out and without doubt was signed by the governor. Fields was then turned loose by the court and an attempt was made to keep the requisiticn papers. but Mr. Stewart managed to get possession of them again and has them now in his possession.

HEAVY RAINS THFEE INCHES OF WATER FAILS IN TWENTY FOUR HOURS
 WEDNESDAY,.
I he Arkansas River and Other Streams Are U Up and Continue
 Rising.

"fFhc rain fell, and the floods dc. seended," and Piac Blufi is wei Wet all over, and the rain shows no sign of ccasing. Three inches of rain is estimated to have fallen since Wed nesday morning, two inches of which fell since 1 o'clock Wednesday after noon, since which time the rainfall has been the heaviest. The downpour was steady all "Wednesday night, and although il has been little more than a steady driZzlc, creeks and r.Vers all over this section of the stata are rising rapidly.
 Traffic on the Iron Mountain road has been seriously affected by the flood so that all the main line trains are being run over the Valley division. The middle span of the White river bride at Newport went out Wednesday night and as a consequence the main line trains from both the north and south have been sent over the Cotton Belt road to Pine Bluff, and sent from
 10 Little Rock over the Valley division
 The bridge over the White river was being repaired, and a large part of if was being replaced. All the false-work was washed away, and al though everything possible was done by the railroad officials to save the structure the water carried away the middle span. The town of Newport is threaten with a nood reports from that city this morning stating that the waters were liable to inundate the town at any minute.
 The Arkansas river has risen con siderably since Wednesday morning, but it is not thought that it will go over it's banks. No sand-bar Were visible from the rear of the court house, where two days ago several were in sight in the river along the city What effect the rise will have on the cut-Cif above the town, where it was thought the river was apt to cut through in the next high water, i5 not known, and may be that before the flood subsidies Pine Bluff will be left on the banks of lake, with no current flowing through at all.
 The bayOus and creeks in this vicin- ity are all running bankfull, and it is probable that they will overflow be. fore night. The lake south of town vas threatened with an overflow. and if the water there gets out of its banks the district along Third averu will probably be flooded as it usually is during high water.

vented large attendance at the polls. ana the result was a lighter vote than W95 expected. In the upper White river counties the high water served to lessen the vote. It was a cold. falnY, dismal day, and this condition 2Hntars to have kept fully 3O,0OO Democratic voters at home.
 Davis Expects 65 Counties.
 We expect to carry at least c5 counties and possibly two or three more" said Charles Jacobson at the governors office last night. "The vote from Garland county was com- plete surprise. Returns from other counties indicate Davis will defeat Berry by large majority. An esti- mato of 65 counties in the Davis col nmn. believe, is a conservative es- timates"
