Morrison of Huttig at Dollar Junction on the night of June 20, when he was trying to arrest her, returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree in the circuit court of the eastern dis trict of Union county, after be ing out thirty minutes.
 Much excitement was caused at the time of the murders, and strong threats of lynching were made, as Marshal Morrison was well and favorably known throughout the county. and the woman was afterward taken to Little Rock and placed in the penitentlary tor safe keeping. She was kept there until about two weeks ago, when she was re- turned to the county jail.
 The woman was defended by Major W. E. Patterson of Fl Do rado, while Prosecuting Attorney H. $. Powell of Camden prosecut- ed the case alone. Ninety-two men were examined before a jury was secured.

Fort Smith, Nov. 29.-A some what Sensational scene took place this morning at the home of Mrs. Burchfield, where the body of Grace Hayes, the l6-year-eld girl who committed suicide yesterday, lay. The father and mother of the girl arrived in the city on an early train for the purpose of at' tending the funeral ot the girl. The father suspected that a friend of the girl was primarily respon- sible for the suicide. Mrs. Hayes declared that an autopsy should not be held, and in that she was strenuously sustained by her son in-law, who had come to Fort Smith with her.
 The coroner was appealed to- and he went 10 the house. Fear ing trouble. he appealed to the chief of police, and the latter de- tailed two officers, who, with d deputy constable, accompanied the coroner. The latter also se- cured the aid of the prosecuting attorney.
 The coroner ordered the re- mains moved to one of the morgues, where an autopsy was held by Dr. Ryan and pr. Steven son, who discovered there was no foundation for the suspicion oi the father. The requst for police protection is alleged to have re- suited from a threat on the part of friend of the dead girl that II any attempt to remove the body to the morgue was made shooting would begin.

TO EouALIzE RATES.
an order Issued at Washington Regarding Rent of Boxes Tn
 Post Office.

Washington, Dec. 1.-An order has been issued by First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock erect i've January 1, looking toward the adoption of uniform rates of rent for boxes in postoffices. The revised rates will affect every postoffice ln the United States. The new schedule adopts as the minimum rate for small fourth class postoffices the amount (ten cents per quarter), now generally charged. From this figure the rates advance according to careful grad uated scale until they reach charge for small lock boxes, at one post office (New York city) of four dol lars quarter, the amount now charged at that office.
 It is not the departments intention to make any increase in box rents While some rates will be revised, others will be considerably lowered, the aim being to correct inequalities and at the same time to produce an average appropriation to that of the rates now in force.

THE CONFERENCE AT WARREN

 a Storm

Warren, Nov. 2S-All parties arrived at the seat of the confer ence which was opened this morn- ing by Bishop Atkins. Feeling remarks were made in his prayer of the death of Bishop Tigret. Bishop Atkins seemed to be at home in the chair. Dr. J. E.. Godby preached a very fine ser mon last night to crowded house. The new church is a gem, with seating capacity of 700. After preaching the sacrament Of the Lords Supper was admins tered to the vast audience and was very impressive service.
 This is a typical old southern town and has always been famous for its hospitality. The First M. E. church was organized here seventy-six years ago.
 Everything is very quiet and moving off nicely in the confer ence so far but my conference barometer shows signs of a com ing storm that perhaps will do much harm and no good to any one. K. D. c. Dodd.
