Senator and lobbyist Mix Up Matters
 in Street ScuffGe in Little Rock.

Little Rock, Feb. 16. Senator A. w. Covington, president of the last State Senate, and Thos. l.. Cox, who has been a consplc- uous figure in the poodle inves- tigation made by the Pulaski County Grand Jury and the trials that have resulted, engaged in a personal encounter yesterday afternoon shortly after Z o'clock in front of the Merchants hotel. Neither of the combatants was injured, as bystanders interferad and stopped the fight before either had an opportunity to in" flict any damage upon his antag- onist. The noise and the scuff1e attracted a large crowd, how ever, and within few minutes the report of the occurrence had spread throughout the downtown district. Senator Covington was immediately placed under arrest by Sergeant Cogswell and put up a cash forfeit of S10 for his appearance at a later time. Cox left the city late yesterday after noon, but before leaving he noti- fled police headquarters that if there was any charge against him he would appear and answer to it immediately upon his return to the city.

Thursday Evening Service.

Rev. Mcintosh preached ar- other strong sermon Thursday night to a large congregation.
 His appeal to the unconverted was a most powerful one. The very close and serious attention on the part of the audience showed that a profound impress sion was being made. The evan- gelist stated that if man would ask himself three questions and take thirty minutes to answer them, he would not leave the house until he had settled the question of his salvation. "Who am I, whither am l tending and where shall l spend eternity '"I am somebody, going some where and my immortal soul must live with God and His re- deemed, or with the damned in he'll"
 'I don't know what kind of a place hell is and I pray that l may never know by sad exper- fence. The rich mans statement of it is enough for me" "
 MT. Mcintosh gave not only the sad experience of Dives, as told by our Lord, but gave some telling illustrations of some whom he had known who died without God and without hope.
 "One Of the great torments of hell will be the memory of wasted, neglected past.'' 1 The preacher exhorted the members of the different churches to assist him in reach ing the unsaved.
 i The meeting will continue for some days.
 There will be a special sermon to men only Sunday afternoon at 3:3O o'clock.
 At the close of the service last night many went forward fol prayer. X.

POOlROOM RAlDFD.
Carrie Nation of Kansas fame Created Panic in Gambling House at HOt
 Springs and Was Arrested.

Hot Springs, Feb. 15. After expressing desire to make { personal examination of the "gamb.i ing hells of Hot Springs, ; Carrie A. Nation, the notorious joint smasher" of Guthrie, o. T., entered the palatial Indiana Club and racing pool room late yesterday afternoon, and ten minutes later landed in jail charged with disturbing the peace.
 Mrs. Nation did not attempt to demolish the fixtures, but her arrest was the result of a stamp ede among the hundreds of sport ing men and employees of the club room, who believed that she was going to use her hatchet.
 Mrs. Nation arrived in Hot Springs Tuesday morning with the intention of delivering a series of temperance lectures. She engaged a room at the United States Hotel, and evinced great interest in the gambling palaces here, expressing her in- tention of visiting them person. ally.
 About 5 o'clock in the after noon she left the hotel with 8 shawl over her head and started up Central avenue, and after going a few steps, was attracted by the pretentious and glittering front of the Indiana. She pushed through the costly leaded glass entrance and found herself in the midst of a throng of men drinking at the bar and betting on the races.
 Aren't you men ashamed of yourselves?" in high-pitched feminine voice startled the sports the next instant. One of the men recognized her and cried, Carrie Nation! Look out for your mirrows, Louis!'
 At this Louis Grenier, proprie- tor of the buffet, thinking that the woman had a hatchet under her shawl, ran around the bar and ejected her, with the assist ance of several policemen, after a hard struggle.
 The patrolmen started toward the jail with the prisoner, fol lowed by a large crowd. The re. port that Carrie Nation haC cleaned out the Indiana Club pre-. ceded them, however, and by the time the jail was reached 50( people were following the party In the jail Mrs. Nation ha' rangued the crowd and heapec reproach upon the heads of the jailer, patrolmen and spectators asking them if they ever hac mothers.
 After spending an hour in the women's department, in com pany with several negro women whom she attempted to reform Mrs. Nation was released by order of Chief of Detectives Shevlin in time to keep a lecture engagement at the First Baptis1 church, where hundreds were turned away from the door.

Make Port of Entry,

Mobile. Dec. 3.-(Special.) 1.-Two Mobile commercial organizations have within the past few days, unknown to each others. taken up subject whlen means much to the future development of the State of Alabama. Both the Commercial Club and the Maritime Exchange have taken up the project Of having Mobile made port of entry by the immigration service, the same as New Orleans and other leading cities of the country.
 Secretary J. Paul Wilson of the Com mercial Club has received letter from Ross Smith of Birmingham, State Commissioner of Immigration. promis- ing his support in the movement, and 1t Is believed little difficulty will be had in bringing the entire influence of the State and perhaps of neighbor- ing commonwealths to bear upon Con gress in the matter.
 Secretary Wilson today, acting on behalf of the of the club, sent letter to Congressman Wash Taylor, asking | him to introduce a bill in Congress having for it's purpose the making of Mobile a port of, entry. This would
 permit the immigration boats from various foreign countries to come direct | to this city, and 1t Is believed would
 result in material additions to the pop ulation of the State, the newcomers be- ing that desiraoIe class or IorelSh lh =
 migrants that are so much desired by all the South. as the solution of the labor question.
 The efforts of the Maritime Exchange 1 have been directed so far to the gath
 ering of data from some of the other States with view to holding a con
 ference here at some futpe time, to | bring the great sentiment as possible to bear upon Congress to grant every facility 1t can to Mobile and to Ala 1 bama for their future growth.
