Wreck on the \orthbotnd Fast Mail
 Occurred at e:l5 Last Frida.

Little Rock Oct. 20.-=Passen2er train No. i. on the north bound St. Louis fast mail OH the main line of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern road was wrecked yesterday morning at Sheppefd, Ark. a small station a few miles southwest of Hope. The engine and one mail ear Was turned l over and dtched alongside the road, but the engineer and fireman We're not seriously injured. The baggage ear. and one passenger coach, chair cal, left the rails but were not turned over and the occupants of these cars escaped with only rough larflnS as the coaches bumped along the ties.
 The cause of the wreck is not known at this time and the report of the accident sent to headquarters gives to the superintendent also states that no one was seriously injured, and it is supposed that the engineer fire man. and those in the mail car es- capped by jumping and got off with a few slight bruises.
 Owing to wire troubles caused by the recent heavy rains. details of the wreck are meaSer at this tune. Shep- perd is only a small station and most of the information comes from Hope.
 The accident occurred at [: l3 a. m, as the train was running into Shep- perd on it's way northward. The en- gineer was running at usual rate of speed but when the engine left the rails, the speed was sufficient to throw the engine into the ditch, while the mail car was also dragged off the track and overturned. The mail clerks had plenty of time to escape without serious mishap.
 No. was in charge of Conductor w. H. Wilsby, who runs between Pop lar Bluff and TeXarkana. Mr. Wilsby lives in Poplar Bluff. J. w. Adams of this place was engineer and the report says that he escaped with only slight injuries The name of the fire man is not given in the report,
 Relief trains and wreckers were sent out from TeXarkana and Little Rock, and soon reached the scene of the accident It is reported that the track will be cleared in three hours from the time of the accident and that all schedules will be re- sumad No 1 was reported several hours late at the union station this morning. Officials of the road will in vestigate the cause of the wreck and

1 he said, is lost to the market Of the remainder he estiamted that about one-half would reach the market or about loo. .0o0 tons. This l0o.o00 tons of seed, he said. was damaged to such an extent that mill men were rcfus- ing to place an estimate on it's prob able value
 Mill Men to Confer With Planters.
 Tn view of the situation, the board of trade learned that in the vicinity of New Orleans large quantities of seed were being thrown away. The mill men in that vicinity. so the board of trade was informed, were think ing of holding q conference with the sellers to try to arrange a method whereby the seed could be handled and the price determined later. It was contended that it would be ruin output of seed at a high price, with the grade being from middling to ab- solutely bad. AS far as is known no conference of this kind has been planned for Arkansas,
 Although the loss to the mill men may be enormous and the loss to the i planter large ill dollars and cents so far as the sale of the seed is con cerned, it is not probable the Arkan- sas planters will throw any of the routed and sprouted seed away. D= rector Vincenheller of the Arkansas agricultural experiment station, al ,. Fayetteville. suggested recently through the columns of the Gazette that the seed could be used for fer tilizine purposes. He explained how the sprouted seed should b. treated and when 1t should be applied to the soil. He maintains that the most damaged seed, if properly applied to the soil neXt spring will be more valuable to the farmer than if he should sell it Ut low prices. .As he made the recommendation because many farmers i'll the state had been asking for information, il is pres1m= ed that he most badlv damaged seed in Arkansas will he converted into fertilizer.

be retained by the planters for plant ing purposes, and that approNimate.T one-third of the entire production would reach the mill men, whereas i'll normal years the mill men get two- thirds of the crop.
 It is a matter of conjecture among the mill men as to just how much this visible one-third has been dam aged The claim is made that the seed to be marketed will not compare in quality with that of former sea sons, owing to the cold and drenehing rains that fell early in the month.
 George R. Brown, secretary of the board of trade. said yesterday that he believed the cotton seed output of Arkansas for mill purposes had re- ceived total damage of 35 per cent, not taking the frost damage into con sideration He based his opinion on the rain damage alone. While he would not recede from his former po- sition that Arkansas will produce 9oo,- GOO bales of cotton this year, for the sake of argument ill the present ease, , he made the basis So0 0o0 bales On the basis of SOOO,O 900 bales he contend ed that 400, ,OOO tons of seed should be produced Onethrd of this amount

FIVE NEGROES WERE
 AIDED TO ESCAPE

Hamburg, Oct 2o.-Five desperate negroes escaped from the county Jail
 here early Tuesday morning. They were aided fom the outside. They cut their way out of their cells and snc. ceeded in getting out of the jail by outside parties, presumably negroes. Three of the negroes, Frank Anthony, Alf Jacson and Tom Peterson, were murderers. while the other two, Will! Marsonburg and Charles Gardner, were in for minor offenses. No clew to where they have gone has as yet developed. but it is quite likely tha
 they will be captured before they will find an opportunity to leave the state.

Little Rock, Oct 20.-Cotton seed oil mill men ill Arkansas, and, ill fact, lemma concerning the amount of dam age that has been done to cotton
 seed by the recent heavy rains. They are inclined to believe that at least one-third of the seed as far as con- mercial purposes are concerned, has been ruined and that the remainder has been damaged in a way that can- not be estimated. All seed has been damaged to some extent, and all that
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-10-21

is marketed will be below the av- craze, it is asserted.
 Men conversant with the situation say that one-third of the seed crop supposedly the best, remains on the plantation i'll any season for plant ing purposes. The remainder, rep resenting 65 per cent, goes into the market for commercial or mill pur poses. In the present case, however, third of the entire output will reach the market. as one-third has been damaged by sprouting to such an ex- tent that it will probably be used as fertilizer
 Captain A. D. Allen, in commenting on the subject, explained that nor- mally one third of the seed remained on the plantations. However, this year. owing to the weather conditions, he estimated that fully two-thirds would remain unsold Of this two- thirds he estimated that half repre- sented total loss. He figured that one-third of the output had been dam- aged by rotting, sprouting and other deterioration, due to having been sub- iected to all excessive amount of mois- ture. Another third, he said, would
