SECRETARY HAWKINS
 IN THE CITY TODAY
Compliments Judge Gould and the Progressfyeness of Jefferson County in Building Good
 ROads-LOcal Movement
 Does Much Good.

J. s. Hawkins, secretary of the Arkansas Good Roads association, is in the city today in the interest of a magazine which the association publishes for the benefit of good roads in Arkansas. It is known as the Arkansas Home and High way.'
 While in the city MT. Hawkins spoke highly of the action which Jefferson County has taken in regard to the 12 miles of macadam road south of this city. MT. Hawkins thinks that this shows real progress i've spirit. He says that this has done more to help the good roads movement in Arkansas than any other movement ever attempted by any county or city in the state. He gives two reasons for such state ment, First, because, County Judge James Gould, who has done so much and worked so faithfully for the progress of good roads throughout the state, is president of the Arkan- sas Good Roads Association, and, secondly, because this movement has been made in county where there is no material, and all of the rock and stone must be hauled from distance.
 MT. Hawkins thinks that this will he a great incentive to the good roads movement in our state.

BOUND OVER ID FEDERAL JURY James Turner, Charged
 With Peonage, Given a
 Hearing Here This
 Morning.
CANNOT GIVE BOND
Witnesses Testified That They Saw Negro Chained to q Flow on Turn CTS Place-Denies the Charge Judge Whipple Prosecuted Him.

The case against Jim Turner, of Cypress, Ashley county, who is charged with peonage, was heard by United States Commissioner X. Burnett this morning, and he was bound over to the United States Circuit Court of Little Rock under a $1,0OO bond.
 Turner is charged with forcing a negro named George Robinson to work for hiIA and further depriving him of his liberty. Witnesses were present at the trial from Wilmot and Hamburg, who testified against the defendant
 It was charged that Turner had forced Robinson to work for him by following blow while he waq chained to it, and ac night he had chained the later Ill a corn crib under lock and key. Several wit nesses testified that they had seen him blowing with rope or chain aound his neck tied to a blow.
 Turner claims that he never at any time forced the negro to work for him, but he admits tying him in a corn crib about four hours one day. He said that he took the ne gro from the constable to make him work out a $50 fine, and that at the time he got the negro, he refused to work for him, but that he did not at any time attempt to force him to work.
 He further claimed that no one offered to pay him the $50, the amount of the fine he bad paid for the negro, as one of the witnesses for the government testified. In fact the whole trial was full of con- dieting testimony.
 The date of the supposed occur renee of the crime is about June, of this year.
 Judge w. G. Whipple, of Little Rock, represented the government while T. M. Hooker. of this city, rep resented the defendant. Turner was bound over under 1000 bond which he had not been able to make up at late hour this after noon.
 ] The penalty for such charge, il convicted, is from a $1,0o0 to a S5,O00 fine and from one to five years in the penitentiary.
 Turner was brought to this city last night by Deputy United States Marshall Guy Caron, of Little Rock who served the warrant for his er est.

Iii ue Montaurou decided to take a
ride in "a carriage and took her reader
along with her. She kept her generally
at the house, under pretext of propri
priety. Thus poor Beatrice lived
stranger to the life that went on un-
der her eyes, and In the midst Of
which she felt besides that her simple
and uniform mode of dressing would
have been out of place, and it made
her ashamed. She herself had been
bred among the Injuries and "lain in
the lilies of life," and, like the greater
number of the girls of Der society, she
had passionate liking and refined
taste for the elegant pleasures Of
sports. She had noble soul more
than a superior mind; she was proud
but not philanthropical, and her beau
iful dimpled smiles hid bitter feelings.
When with her eye she followed the
horseback party cavalcading under
the arch Of the avenues, her face was
sndisturbed, but her heart was bleed
ing.
The arrival of Pierrepont at the
chateau subjected her to more cruel
punishment, and moreover she did
not fai to show it, for. Madame de
Montauron had her reasons for re-
curing extra service from her Beat
rice, in order to keep her from matri-
monial intentions with regard to her
nephew. To do justice to Beatrice, We
must say, that, after the ruin Of her
fathers fortune, she never held the
slightest hope that her sentiments
should ever be participated in by the
Marquis de Pierrepont, and sanctioned
by marriage. Her reason told her that
he was forever lost to her, and that
nothing short of a miracle could unite
them. But then, inasmuch as Pierre
pont was unmarried, the field yet re-
manned open for the miracle; the
dream, in it's divineness, still held
some charm, and now it was all fin
ished. The soft chimera was gone for
ever.
It was evident to Beatrice that the
redoubtable occurrence was almost at
hand. Everything announced 1t. Nine.
de MontaurOn, as she herself had told
her, was playing at that time a very
high game, and the young Marquis
took 1t with such good will that the
result could not be in the 1eastdoubt-
ful.
It is difficult TO imagine for a wo-
man a martyrdom more trying or
more wearisome than was that of Mile
Sardonne; brilliant rivals disputing
over the heart and the hand Of the
heart and the hand of the man whom
she loved, whom she had loved since
her childhood, and she was obliged to
witness the tourney as a smiling spec
tatOr.

CHAPTER ".
The Young Ladies.

PieTepont arrived in Genets upon
Monday. In the afternoon of the for
lowing Sunday, he evaded the COM
pany which was at the chateau, also
those who had after dinner gone walk
lng or hsning, and ne Went TO the
nearest station to meet Fabrice and
present him to his aunt. He found
Nine. de Montauron knitting in a iarse
white wood parlor surrounded by por-
traits of the family, and with Mile. de
SardOne, who was reading to her from
paper. The painter was not obliged
to look twice that he might say if he
had his choice he would not have
chosen to paint the portrait of the
Baroness. He could not, however, con,
graduate himself upon the welcome
extended him by the young lady, who,
without rising, cast a wearied, almost
cold, look at him, and in a low voice
continued the reading of her paper;
meanwhile Fabrice exchanged some
words with the mistress of the cha
teau.
Il am very much pleased, Monsieur,
to make your acquaintance" said the
Baroness, with her choicest of good
graces; and I am very proud to have
my portrait painted by your hand. To
paint the portrait of an old woman
like me is not very great treat"
"Madame!"
But you paint landscapes also.
There are some very pretty ones IN
our environs-that will be some con-
ISOLATION to you"
MY dear Baroness, I have no need
of them"
do you permit your models to talk
during their sittings? 1t does not dis
turb your"
Not at ALL Madame. Upon the con-
trary, that enables US to paint the
features more nearly perfectly"
"Ah! so much the better. For nat
urally l am very much of a talker.
Am l not, Beatrice?"
Il can not complain of it, Madame"
said Beatrice, smiling feebly.
You see she does not complain or
it. Monsieur, but she realizes it, how
ever
A sound of horses, accompanied by
tumult of voices and laughter, an
nounced the return of the cavalcade,
which, with the fishing party, entered
pell-mell into the court. Three or
four young women dismounted, and
with one hand holding up the trains
of their habits, which they had the
good taste TO wear quite long in those
days, climbed the steps of perron, and
came to receive their greeting from
the Baroness; others in light and
short morning toilette precipitated
themselves into the parlor, shaking
triuml hantly their little strings of
fish, which filled the room with their
peculiar ador.
'Ah, heavensi how horrible" cried
the Baroness; Beatrice, quick, my
dacon--and then, my dear, take the
fish from these young ladies and carry
them into the kitchen.
Pardon me, aunt" said the Marquis
de Pierrepont, gathering the strings:
Il will do it myself"
Fahrice, who was a great observer
naturally, and by profession also, no
ticed that at that moment the reader
paled slightly, and that on the con-
trary a rosy tint overspread the

FIVE JURORS
QUALIFIED

Georgetown, KY, Nov. 19.-The
day closed in the Caleb Powers case
with five qualified jurors. These are
yet subject to peremptory challenge
by either side. Much comment was
INDUCED in through the development
of the fact that Powers speech before
the jury in his last trial has been
we'll distributed through the counties
surrounding Scott county. The pros
ecution regards this as the work of
some one acting for the defense,
while the defense has sought to show
that the book was distributed by the
republican campaign committee to
answer to a number of pages Of mat
ter IN the democratic handbook de-
voted to the Powers case as an issue
in the campaign just closed.
