FROM THE
 CAT CAPITAL i I Az EEITY

Little Rock, Nov. 21.-Locked in by the refusal of the trunk lines of the state to grant joint rates, the the coal operators of Arkansas are in a serious predicament now, be- ing confined to business along the lines upon which the mines are To- cated, thus placing them at the mercy of the Illinois operators, who are daily adding more of Ar kansas to their territory. The only hope the Arkansas operators have is the forcing of the railroads to give joint rates, or to increase the state rates so as to shut the Illinois mines out of Arkansas. Operators who have mines along the Rock d-Frisco system, can reach only points on this system, and the same is true of the opera tors with mines along the Iron Mountain. The mines on the Midland Valley, which makes con- nections with the Iron Mountain and Frisco with only short haul, are the only ones that can ship ov- CT more than one trunk line. This has caused a considerable falling off of the coal business, at the time of the year when the operators should have their busiest season. The operators are now appealing for joint rates. This action of the railroads has at least prevented the anticipated car shortage, for coal shipped out does not leave the lines of the railroad upon which it originates, and consequently after short haul can be hastened back to the mines to be refilled.
 Unless something unforeseen hap pens, the Wright will contest will go to the jury tonight, though Judge Sellers may wait until Monday morning to deliver his charge to the jury. It is hardly probable Judge Sellers will do this, however, as he resides in Morrilton, and was elected special judge to preside in this case only, some is very anx- ious to get away after his two weeks of ceaseless toil on the case. The defense closed yesterday before noon and the attorneys for the con- testants of the will, Mrs. Lucy M. Wright and Mrs. Breame, mother and sister of Weldon E. Wright, began the introduction of rebuttal testimony. The attorneys this morning began the arguing of in- instructions, and unless Judge Sellers dismisses court at noon until Monday morning, the argu- ments will be made this afternoon. It is not expected that the jury will return a verdict tonight, even should the case be given the jury in the evening.
