 Court.

Reverend Sylvester Rowan, a negr1 preacher well known to the colored people of this city, was temporarily freed of two charges in the Jefferson circuit court here yesterday aftet- noon. In two indictments he was charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, but each indictment was quashed after Attorneys White and Altheimer and Nixon and Shaw filed demurrers to the indictments on the grounds that they did not state sufficient facts.

He claims that he informed the companies that he held two poliices On the same prope ty and that the two amounts were collected in good faith.

Little Rock, Ark, May 9.-(Sps- cial.)-The Thompson anti-bribery bill was passed by the House yester- day afternoon and by endorsing the measure the House placed itself oa record as opposing bribery and graft in all forms. There was some opposi- tion to the bill led by Hon. H. M Beck of Sebastian county, but in the main the representatives were in favor of the measure and it was passed with but few votes against it. The House alsGE passed the general deficiency bill and he Senate joint resolution au thofIzing the attorney general to col Iect taxes from the railroads for such real property as has not heretofore listed.
 The Senate discussed for some time the Scrimshrie bill making the sale of liquors in certain prohibition dis tricts a felony on the grounds that the bill, if passed, would repeal prac- tically all the local option bills on the statutes and place the sale of liquors in the state on an entirely different basis than heretofore. This bill was fought vigorously in the Sen ate by those Senators who discovered the general effect of the measure.
 Improvements Planned.
 It is expected that within a few of oif n ested will be held for the purpose of discussing plans for the organization of another large improvement district in this city and already the project seems assured. The proposed distric, will embrace that portion of Cumber- land street from Markham street to Fifteenth street and the intersectinS streets between Rock and Scott streets in addition to Second and Third streets on the east from Cum berland street to the Rock Island tracks in the extreme east end of the rcity. ~The cross streets between Third street and Markham street will also be embraced in the district mak- ing a total of about 60 blocks of paved street. The total cost of the improve ment in this district will be about $2OO,OO0 and it will be the largest i1n- provement district of the kind ever formed in Arkansas.
 The project is one advocated by the Business Mems League with the as sistance of City Engineer E. A. Kings ley, who has worked up the plans. The greater portion of the district is in the business section and on these streets the pavement wifi be vitrified brick, while sheet asphalt will be used on the residence streets. MT. Kings ley has the plans about ready for presentation to the meeting of cltl- zens living in the district and it is eX- pected that within few days the bus ness men will hold a meeting and formulate the district.

RAILROAD NOTES.
WABASH SUFFERS WRECKS.

The Wabash railroad suffered two
serious washouts and a wreck on its
line last night, which practically para
lived traffic. Both washouts were
caused by the high water of the Wa
bash river, one near Roanoke, where
the river IS crossed, and the other
between Andrews and Lagro. The
high waters had washed over the
tracks and caused such strain on the
bridges that it was deemed unsafe for
trains to use them until repaired.
Wreck crews and section hands were
rushed to the scene and are now at
work in an effort to repair the dam
age so that traffic can be moved this
afternoon. A wreck also occurred dur
ing the night, which added more i'm
pedlment to train movement. A
freight train and several cars were
derailed at Fatrmont Ill, completely
blocking the road. The Big Four also
suffered washout on it's line north
OF wabash, which caused it to detour
Its trains around through Huntington
over the Wabash road and thereon
over the Erie to Bolivar. No trains
have moved over the Wabash road
through Fort Wayne since a. m,
when the washouts occurred.-F'ort

INSURANCE BILLS GALORE
Enough Before the Indiana Legisla-
ture to Put Old Companies Out
of Business.

indianapolis, Jan. 21.-The present
session Of the Indiana legislature al
ready has before it enough insurance
bills to put all the local life insurance
companies out of business, to debar
fire insurance companies from the
state and to reduce the number of life
companies of other states to a very
limited number-aH this, of course, if
the bills become laws.
Never before has there been such ac-
tivity along the lines OF insurance leg
islation. and the bills and counter bills
already introduced or to be introduced
are numerous enough to make this
legislature remembered as the ''insur-
ance assembly" The life insurance in
terests are actively alert to meet the
Rituation, but fire insurance interests
thus far appear to be Indifferent. The
above IS what the insurance men say.
