 AGAIN LAST NIGHT
,ROsenberg's Entered and Door of Furniture Store Tempered With No Arrests-Many Petty Burglaries Reported
 Here.

Burglars entered s. A. Rosen- berg's Second avenue store last night and attempted to enter the store of the Reap-Crawford Furniture Company but were unsuccessful The amount of goods taken from ,Rosenberg's has not been ascertain ed Bur nothing. valuable is missing. The rear door was found open by the police early this morning. MT. Rosenberg was notified and came down town immediately. He lock- ed the door and returned home. making an investigation of the bur glary this morning.
 At Reap-Crawford's place the lock on the front door had been tam pered with, but the burglars were not successful ill opening it. It was so badly batterer this morning that the proprietors were unable to open it and it had to be taken off by a locksmith before the employees were admitted to the building.
 Many petty downtown burglaries have been committed in this city in the past few weeks. The police have not succeeded in running down the guilty parties. It is stated that the burglaries are being committed by gang of boys, who frequent the downtown districts. Members of this supposed gang can be seen ly- ing around on the store curblng each evening.

We bother no one in this city, and when other people desire to improve their property and lay sidewalks we shall have nothing to say to them as to how they shall be put down or what trees they shall cut or leave standing.

The Franklin Hearing.

The Franklin Hearing.
 Louis Franklin is sure to be bound over to await the action of the Jef ferson county grand jury, which will convene on September 16. The murder of Constable Butler was cold blooded, Franklin admits that himself. He says he went to the Oracle store at Cornerstone to kill w. C. Alexander, who shot and kill ed Nose Blackwell, a negro, in his saloon the previous Sunday, and who was acquitted by the Coroner's jury the next day.
 To Constable Frank Stewart and Jailer Tom Meeks yesterday Frank lin said that Alexander had inter- fered with Christi when he shot and killed Blackwell. He says he is sorry that he killed Butler and regrets that it was not Alexander Many witnesses have been subpoen- aed to appear at the Franklin hear ing.
 w. c. Alexander, the Cornerstone saloonist, arrived in Pine Bluff this morning. It is stated that he was advised by his friends to leave Cor nerstone until the excitement there subsidies. It is rumored that the negroes of that neighborhood had planned to kill Alexander and three negroes, who served on the Coroner's jury that acquitted him. Alexander is known as one of the gamest men in the country. He has never been charged with cowardice and he has been tried time and time again. It is stated that his friends made him leave Cornerstone for the present against his own will. They feared serious results,if the negroes there harmed him. The white peo- pie there have informed the negroes that they will not toleratet any more dastardly deeds of that character of the one in which Franklin fgur- ed Wednesday night.
