 Al criminal charges emanating from the session of 1895 are now barred by the statute 8f limitations. and 10 further indictments can be l nad growing out Of misconduct Of members 0f that session. of al the witnesses who testified before the va rious grand Jdries, nothing was devel- eped that would in any way. shape. form or manner implicate any mem-
 Der of the legislature coming from the counties situated in the Eastern part of the state with possibly one ex- ception.
 Almost every other section of the state has been under suspicion. and members of the legislature from
 those sections have repeatedly been
 called before the grand jury to tell what they knew of the corruption in
 that memorable session
 In the counties ef CFittenden. Phillips. Lee, Greene. St. Francis.
 traighead, Poinsett Cross and Mis- Sissippi the members serving in the
 legislature have been above suspicion
 and not one word of testimony was
 brought before the grand jury ID any

 the great amount of work ccOmplish- ed by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton

 means great deal and shows that. as a rule, men of integrity are elected 10 office by the people of Eastern Ark
 ansas.
 ARRESTS EXPECTED IN MEMPHIS.
 No arrests have yet been made in connection with the poodle indiet- ments returned by the Pulaski coun-
 ty grand jury. Bench warrants were
 placed in the hands of Sheriff C. (.
 kayanaugh today and forwarded by
 that official 10 other sheritfs for ser vice. The great majority of the in- dictments returned, il is believed. are against the members of the l905 sen-
 ate who reside i'll various portions of the state outside Of Little Rock. The other indictments, it is said, are against St. Louis and Memphis par ties. The greatest secrecy is main tained by court officials. and no one connected with the grand jury will
 discuss the matter in any shape or
 manner.
 l Circuit Judge Lee has admonished l the newspapers not to engage in any guesswork. as the premature puplica-
 tion of names may defeat the ends of
 justice. Several arrests are expect ed in the interior of the state and ad- l joining states Sunday or Monday.

willing and q possessor Of wonderful speed
He had come TO be regarded by the racing
public as an idol and thousands turned
out to see him run. Nobody had the faintest
idea that he would not be able to 90 through

LONDON, May 2s.-James r. Hatmaker,
an American living in Paris. has unex-
peotedly decided to run the French horse
Axote in the Derby. 'Azote is n scientific
experiment designed to prove that horses
grow and develop faster on dry milk than
on vegetable foods.
He has never tasted oats or corn, hav-
ing been reared entirely on dried milk.
with very little hay. He has seven feeds
daily. his total allowance being seventeen
pounds Of dried milk. which is the equiva-
lent of eighteen gallons of liquid milk
MIR. Hatmaker says horse thus fed as
similates 9s per cent Of his food, while
only eS per cent Of oats is assimilable.
He admits that Azote is of poor origin.
He describes him as the worst bred and
best fed horse in the Derby. but he wants
to show what scientific principles will do.
Prof. Grandeau. who has made a spe-
cialty Of chemical experiments in horse
feeding. says that Mr.. Hatmaker is max
ing q most interesting and most important
experiment. He regrets that it is not made
with a highly bred horse. in which case
success would be certain.
Azote. however. is capable Of great en-
durance. He has splendidly developed

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BALL GAME.
Young Batter Struck by n Pitched Ball
Over the Heart and Drops Dead.

PoUaHKEEPsIE May PA singular acci-
dent on a ball field late this afternoon
caused the death Of Charles Lempka, IA
years of age who was at the bat and was
struck by pitched ball. He started to take
his base and had gone twenty feet on a
swift run when he dropped dead,
The fatality occurred in match game
between Y. NJ. G. 4. teams OF boys on the
Riverview Military Academy grounds. The
game was close one and was nearing the
end and Lempka was very anxious to make
a hit Walter j. Spross. 18 years Of age,
was pitching. He delivered two outshoots
which Lempka missed. He evidently ex-
pected another outshoot and stepped out
from the plate as the third ball was de-
lvered Spross had changed his delivery
and sent in a straight ball which struck
Lempka over the heart. Lempka did not
seem to feel the blow at once He dropped
his bat and sprinted for first base He had
covered about twenty feet when he dropped
dead.
The players ran in from the-field It was
first thought that Lempka was unconscious
DR.. E. NJ. Burns was sent for. Hepronounced
ife extinct. The cause Of death he attributed
to the blow over the heart which paralyzed
the nerve centre The doctor said that the
effort OF running may have contributed
10 the result, but not materially.
Lempka was large boy for his age and
in perfect health. The Spross boy reported
the accident at the police station. He was
not held.

fRHINOCEROSs EYES FIXED.
BLIND Mosui Of tho Bronx Zoo Operated
On for Cataracts.

On for Cataracts.
Mogul. the two-ysar-old rhinoceros that
was imported into the Bronx Zoo from
India about year ago, underwent an
operation for cataract yesterday. Half a
dozen keepers roped him and threw him
on bed Of fresh grass and the surgeons
got to work.
Whom It came to the application of
an@sthetics the operators found that
Mogul didn't answer to the spraying OF the
chloroform up his nostrils any more than
II 1t were so much fog. Finally they made
some oornuooplas and poured the stuff
into him. Even then 1t took pound and
three-quarters OF ohloroform and half e
three and half times as much as they
have to use on full grown horse.
The operation itself, which was per-
formed by Dr. George Van Mater, professor
Of fophthalmology at the New York American
Veterinary College OF Brooklyn, included
the making of T incision to divide the
anterior capsule OF Che crystalline lens and
SO allow the milky matter to escape into the
anterior chamber Of the eye. The least
inaccuracy Of incision would have released
the aqueous humor and brought on total
blindness by causing hemorrhage in the
vitreous chamber. Mogul had cataracts in
both eyes and the needing took about half
an hour.
In about four weeks, when the milky
matter released by the T incision is absorbed.
it is expected that Mogul will be possessed
Of perfect vision.

Caused by HOodluns on Trains.
Justice Finelite Of the City Court decided
yesterday that the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company is responsible for any
injury done to its passengers by the hood
lums and nnffians who are permitted some-
times to take possession OF tho cars on
the elevated trains. Justice Finelite de-
clined to set aside verdict for $500 damages
obtained by Mrs. Lizzie Mcmahon against
the company.
Mrs. MoMahon alleged that she was hit
by shoe thrown by q young rufflan on
southbound elevated train on New Years
eve last. Her eye was confused and she
was laid up for some time.
The company moved to set aside the
verdict, pleading that It was the duty OF
every passenger to preserve himself as
against other passengers, but Justice
Ffnelite remarks In bis decision that many
passengers. women, infirm people and
children, require particular consideration
at the hands Of q public carrier and to
allow other passengers TO indulge In riotous
acts and behavior that results In injuries

Lambert ordered that two boxes at a time
be opened yesterday afternoon. To-day
he will try to increase this number to three
or four and he has hopes Of eventually
getting the lawyers at work on half dozen
boxes at time. In this way It is possible
that the recounting Of all the boxes or as
many OF them as the Hearst contingent
may call for, will be completed in Ave or six
weeks.
The jury spent most Of yesterday reading
the newspapers or chatting. Their duties in
the whole suit are quite perfunctory and
they will have nothing to do till the recount
is over.
