The return Of MT. Rhoton to the
 city aso brings up the question re garding the trial of ex-senator W. X. Covington Of Clarksvlile on the charge of bribery, which was passed when the case was called in tile Pu' laski circuit court October s, f90G. This case was passed by agreement owing to the absence of MT. Rhoton. but may be set at any time as it is
 subject to call. It is understood that Mr. Coyington himself wants speedy trial of the case in order that the charges pending against him may be finally disposed of This case will probably be set for trial at an early date and the trial of the celebrated case entered into. It is not probable Shat a change of venue will be asked.

Aged Citizen Devotes Two Days to Study of Her Maiden Name in
 Marriage Certificate.

Northport, l.. l., Oct. 3O.-Happy ill name, which he is able to remember now without studying the marriage certificate Ben .Jeffries of this village, who married Christian young lady" for whom he advertised, went about among h S friends all day introducing his bride. Although Ben, when he led the young woman, who is his second Wife, to the altar acknowledged to only 49 years, the parson, who had performed former marriage cere- mony in which Ben participated as Bridegroom three years ago, recalled that at the former marriage Ben said he was 55.
 Several weeks ago he caused the fol- lowing advertisement to be inserted in a New York paper:
 "Wanted-A Christian young lady for wife. Address R. J., Northport, l.. l.
 Replies to the advertisement came by the score. but the first one Ben an SWered was that of a Brooklyn girl, whose letter made it appear she would fill the bill
 She was Miss Marie Benencke, and on Saturday she came out here, ready for the ceremony On Sunday Ben and the young woman appeared before the Rev. Henry Medd the pastor of St Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, and asked that the knot be tied. Tn giving his age Ben stuck to 49
 What is the young woman's n1me "' asked the pastor.
 The bridegrcom stammered. stutter- cd, and finally pronounced a name that the pastor could not repeat. The young woman, however, came to his rescue and told her name The mar and the clergyman pronounced the couple man and wife.

TRIED TO PREVENT SON
 FROM GOING ON TRAIN

Atlantic City, N, J.. Oct. 30.- Friends of Walter Scott, motorman Of the wrecked train, who is among the dead, told a story here that Scott had a quarrel with his father and mother in Camden before starting for his days work.
 The father, an old locomotive fire man, insisted that the train runs over the electric railway were not safe, and that they were sure to come to grief Mrs. Scott hung on her sons arms and begged him not to take the train out. but the young man brushed his pa rents aside
 Scott stuck to his controller and threw on the air brakes as his train left the tracks. Survivors say they felt the gripping of the iron shoes on the wheels. and the second and third cars slowed up. If the couplings had let go, it is probable that only the first coach would have fallen off the bridge, but the couplings held fast.

NEGROES FOR CANAL WORK.
Di. Bitch and Solve the Soutll'S Race
 Problem.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Oct. 30.-W. J. Oliver. the well-knoWn contractor, has given the first intimation that has yet come from him direct of his inten- ton 10 become a bidder on the con struction of the Panama canal. II was Mr Oliver who first express ed the conviction that the canal could best be built by private contract. This was in Washington over two years age and now that there has been a decision reached by the government to let the work by contract, it seems he knew more about il than those who had it in charge.
 IL has been rumored frequently of late that Mir Oliver would bid on the work if occasion were offered him, and many of the strongest neWspa pers of the south have advocated him as the one man whose experience and knowledge of tropical conditions best fitted him to construct the ditch in the shortest length of time and most efficient manner.
 In speaking of this matter Ee said: T can build the Panama canal at le 5 cost and in shorter period of time than any other man, and I would le pleased to have an opportunity of demonstrating my ability of so doing. have all the work on hand at the present time that l can well handle. and do not need the job. It would really be a sacrifice for me to take the contract, but if 1 build it, which can do, after one national govern ment has failed and another has prac- tically admitted it's inability to con struct it, there would be honor enough in the achievement to satisfy the am bition of any man.
 My reasons for stating positively that I can build it, and more economi- cally than any one else, are based on

Without d Penitentiary.

One of the questions that will con front the next legislature will be the disposition of the new penitentiary building which has been started west of the city The structure has been partially completed at cost of about $50, ,000 but the building has not been finished and the present superntend- ent of the penitentiary is practically without penitentlarv at all. The old building which occupies the site of the new state capitol has been par tiallv torn down and the state capitol commission has it's offices in the building in connection with the pen- tentiary officials. Nearly all of the stockade has been removed and a part of the wall torn down on the old building. 1t was expected that the new penitentiarN building would have been completed before the new state capitol building reached any where near it's present proportions but with the stopping of the work on the new penitentiary building, matters have been brought to a standSIill and the state practically has no penitentaI'y save the stockades used at the state farm. p to the present time prison CTS have been kept in the old build- ing, even as il stands. but should all the state prisoners be brought 10 the penilentlalN at once. the state could not keep them.
 About SSo,ooo has been spent on the neM building. yet Superintendent J X. Piteock states that 1t is practically worthless as d penitentiary for il has Not been finished. IL is estimated that $20,ooo will finish the building and furnish up offices for the officials so that Arkansas will again have a peni- tentiarv. This matter will probably be brought To the attention of the log islature early in the session.

Gov. Davis Returns.

Governor Davis returned last night from Oklahoma. where he has been making a series of addresses in be- half of the Democratic candidates for state and district offices ill the new state. When seen by a reporter this morning Governor Davis stated in response to the question as to how the Democrats would come out in the election:
 "Oklahoma looks Democratic to me. The Republicans have made strenuous efforts but think the straight Demo- cratic ticket will win"
 How about the gerrvmandering tactics in the districting of the state by the Republican chairman"
 Tt will have but little effect. The Democrats have stunped the state thoroughly and have been greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds every weher. I think the ticket will win by safe majorities.'
 Governor Davis spent the whole ot last week i'll the new state and made something like twenty speeches fol the Democratic ticket.

m} knowledge of how to handle labor to the best advantage, obtained through n"arl> twenty years practi- cal experience in the south, especial ly the class of labor best qualified fo do the work successfully, have handled al kiud- ot Iabor and find that the southern uegro is the one above all others on which could re- ly. l would take those classes of negroes who aFe now I menace to the south and not disturb any others. From the Sl1Has and low dives ot the southern ettfes would round up those Who are the idle and criminal classes, and know of nothing that would tend more towards solYin4 the great race problem of the south. IL is this idle class that gives all the trouble and causes all the friction here in the south, and [ believe that could, by removing such negroes and putting them at honest labor, serve the south as well as the whole nation
 Mr, Oliver said further that he felt
 confident of being able to obtain enough of this labor to construct the canal, because the negroes all know that he would give them a square deal, which fact was evidenced by the thousands of them upon his pay rolls at all times
 This view presents the construction of the canal i'll an entirely new and unique light to the people of the south, and prominent engineering and contracting authorities through this section state that there is a strong sentiment in favor of pushing Mir. Oliver to the front for the purpose of doing the work.

Supreme Court
 Sustains Verdict

In Little Rock, Monday, Mr Jus tice McCulloch delivered the opinion of the court in the case of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway company against Bruce.
 Bruce and his son were driving along the railroad track upon street i'll the city of Pine Bluff when his horse took fright and threw him out of the buggy injuring him severely.
