 and incidents conneeted with the seventy years history of the build. ing soon to be abandoned as the home of the law making bodies of Arkansas. The 36th General Assembly of the State of Arkansas now in session. VIII probably so On record as the last session held In the old State House, and laws now being enacted will come tn time to be referred to as one of the last of the old State House laws. for unless some unnecessary delay prevents, the next law making body will hold its sessior in that massive pile of iron, granite and marble that s raising its stately lines against the sky from the old penitentiary site in the western part of the city of Lit tie Rock.
 During the seventy years that the old State House has been the home for law making bodies and the safety house of the official documents and papers, the state has grown from q territory in wilderness of forests. to community whose wealth and in dustries, but yet in the bud of develop ment, are attracting wide attention.
 During this time many men have discussed many measures and after long period of law making, Arkansas finds herself well in the front ranks with states having the best laws Especially Is this true of her temper. ance and educational laws than which none more surely mark on the ther mometer of ,rogress the standing of . people
 When the seat of government was removed from Arkansas Post to Little Rock, Arkansas was yet a territory Wandering tribes of Indians visited her forests. The whistle of no loco motive disturbed the stiffness of the primitive woods and the arrival of . river boat was an incident of much importance. A few hog huts composed the hamlet which was to be the future capital of great state For the first few years valuable papers were kept In different ones of these log houses Then a brick house was built by Robert Crittenden and offered for the use of the papers of governor and sec retary of the territory.
 This was in lS27 Shortly before the building of this first brick house. the government had given ten sec uons of land Co the territory which was to be sold to build state house Soon after it's building, the legisla- ture passed law authorizing an ex. change of this land for the house.
 If this bin had been allowed to stand, the present State House would probably never have been built Coy ernor Pope however vetoed the bill saying the land was worth more than the house. and his Judgment proved correct. The land was sold in Febru ary, 1883, for s3l ,000. while the house was worth s6,0d1
 The first site for the State House was the one finally chosen, though objections were raised on the grount that it was m Indian burial spot. ant numerous bones were found whil, digging the foundation for the walls some Of these bones were in log cof ms and were supposed to be the re mains of gold seekers who ha, strayed up the great river years be fore

ACID ENDS LIFE
HACKST0N LOSES JOB AND
TAKES TO DRINK.
Becomes Despondent and After Being
Arrested Drinks FATAL
Draught.

Discharged last week by the man
agement of the Licorice Works, in
Third street, by whom he had been
employed for the last twenty-eight
years, William Hackston, AZ years old, of
$50 North Sixth street, became despond-
ent, ooh to drink, was arrested last
week for cruelty to his family, and yes
terday afternoon ended all his earthly
troubles by consuming a draught of
carbolic acid.
Hackston as a boy went to work for
the Licorice Company. Recently that
corporation decided to cut down its
force in Newark. and it became neces-
sary to discharge many of the old
hands. 1t was Hackston's turn a week
! or so ago.
When he could not gain employment
elsewhere he took to drink. His home
life, that previously had been all that
could be desired, became unhappy and
resulted in his arrest for drunkenness
and assault upon the members of his
family.
He was paroled by Judge Herr be-
cause of his previous good character,
and made a promise to stop drinking.
! He kept his pledge for a few days, but
this week he lapsed again.
He became more morose and despond-
ent because ne could not gain employ
ment.
He was about the house yesterday in
the same detected spirits and drank the
deadly poison.

TURNS SISTER OUT
BROTHER Is ACCUSED BY
ORPHAN.
Says He Was Angry Because She Talked
with Sister Against His
Wishes.

A report that Max Hilb, q years old, of
267 livingston street, drove his sister, Ger
trude, II years old into the street late last
night refused to give her anything to
protect herself from the cool night air, Is
being investigated by superintendent Jared
w. Kimball, of the Children's Aid Society.
The girl was found weeping on the street
by Louise Boehnl. of 27 Livingston street,
who took her into her house and notified
the girls sister, Frances, 10 years old, of
sos Bergen street.
The latter appeared in the Fourth Pre-
elnct Police Court today and was re-
ferred to Mr.. Kimball, who Immediately
started the investigation.
The girls mother died ten years ago and
the father two years ago. Max conducted
the family affairs and with him lived
Gertrude and Edward, aged nine years;
Joseph, aged fifteen years. and Elsie,
aged seventeen years, The latter, with
Frances. works in Harrison, while Eddie
and Gertrude attend the Avon Avenue
Public School.
The trouble dates back to when a woman
who was housekeeper in the family died.
At the time Frances was decided on as
the chief executive of the home, but In a
short time there was a disagreement, and
she left. Max assumed control. From hat
time he latter. 1t is alleged. warned the
other members of the family not to recog-
nize their sister. 1t appears Gertrude
violated this command. and when she was
sent to a Warren street store last night
and returned a bit late her brother. the
young master of the house, accused her
of talking to her sister, and claimed 1t
that which caused the delay. He
ordered her out, and. although she wept
and asked for a shawl, he denied her all
rights and she went to a nearby stoop
ano the tears flowed thick and fast.
The Boehm woman finally appeared and
cared for the orphan.

A WAKE OR NOT A WAKE.
Court Must Decide Whether It Is Neces-
sary Funeral Adjunct.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE justices
in the Appellate Division of the SUI
preme Court must decide whether a
wake is a legitimate part of a funeral
ceremony. The question was brought
up by Joseph H. McCullagh, who seeks
to be reimbursed for the expenses at
ending the wake of n uncle, Peter
McCullagh, who died two years ago.
The executors and trustees under the
will of Peter McCullagh refused to al
low for these expenses. The nephew
declared it was customary to watch
the dead by night and the guard of
honor must have refreshments He
a liberal quantity of food and
beverages. he said, under the direction
of the widow.

OVER
GA R A G. E
CONTRACT
Questions Arise if
New Reduction System
Be Installed in City.

The award of the five year municipal
garbage contract by the Board of Works
to the lowest bidder, L. ]. Buckley &~Co..
and the evident intention of the successful
bidders to build an lncineration or reduc-
ton plant of their own, and not take The
plant of the j. & B. Meyer Company, who
has the contract at the present, though 4
was offered to the successful firm for $20,-
900 a year for the five years, promises to
cause considerable trouble when it is acted
on by the Board of Works.
The snag comes In the proposal sub
mitted by the successful bidders in re-
gard to the disposal of the garbage. The
Board of Works provided In the specifca-
lions that each bidder should state the
kind of reduction Moderation or cremation
plant to be used in disposing OF the waste.
md further provides that the system must
be in successful operation in at least three
cities, and that the board would take III
the question of the successful operation
of the plant as a factor in determining the
awar d Of the contract.
Buckley & Co. named as the system they
would use the one in successful operation
in this city, Boston. Philadelphia and Balti-
more. which is the Arnold-Egerton sys-
tenn Of reduction, but further stated or
some system equally as successful"
In case the successful bidders attempted
to erect a plant installing a system other
than mentioned in tehir bid. the next high
est bidder, George b. Aschenbach. could
claim the contract, it is said, because of
this fact.
1T is understood that the Buckley Com
pany, which is composed of l.. ]. Buckley
and William Connolly, son OF City Clerk
James f. Connolly, may try to erect a new
garbage plant in the city or vicinity, but
If it does it will have to be some other
than the Arnold Edgerton patent. 1t is
said that no otter system will comply with
the specifications, and the Acknowledgment
people will probably not allow another
plant to be erected for the city than the
one they now have in Kearny Township.
The situation now seems to be that II the
successful bidders do not accept the plant
of the Meyer Company their contract may
be rendered invalid, because they failed to
specify some other plant successfully used
In three cities.
In regard to the erection OF a new plant
the general provisions of the specifications
permit until May / next for the construc-
ton of a new plant, but may take the old
plant. The Newark Sanitary Reduction
Company, which controls the plant, agreed
with Chief Engineer Sherrerd to allow the
plant to be rented for 500, 900 a year to the
successful bidder for the contract.
IL the Buckley Company sticks to its de-
termination not to enter into an agreement
with the Newark company to allow the lat
ter to dispose of the garbage, the contrnct
be In doubt and will probably have tc
be threshed dut in the courts.
