 Little Rock, January 1O.-The charges brought against the Lit tie, Rock Street Railway Com.
 pany. by Alderman q R Pnu
 CTS, of the Eighth Ward, relative to the Democratic ssprimary for city officers Tuesday of this week, are attracting consider able attention at this time. Alderman Powers was a can didate for a second term, and was opposed by two prominent residents of the eigth ward. Be- fore the primary it was report ed that the Street Railway Com. pany would oppose his re-elec. tion, and on the day of the prim- ary MT Powers alleges that the company threw ali possible diff ticulties in his way.
 The company stopped two car loads of voters down in the city and held them until such a time it was believed the polls would be closed, so that these men, nearly all friends of mine, could not vote The reason know this was that when the cars stopped one of my oppon- ents had ar1iages there for the purpose of carrying the men who would vote for him to the polls, leaving the remainder on the car I managed to hold the polls open little longer than the company thought, and thus se- cured the votes of these citizens.
 Alderman Powers friends de clare that his activity regarding the reduction of the grade on West Thirteenth Street, and Il other matters caused the com. oany to throw it's support against him. His supporters declare that his nomination over both other candidates by a large majority is especially pleasing to he residents of the Eighth ward

his friends are rallying to his standard in large numbers, and the truth of the matter is that he will make hot fight for the po- sition so long held by Mr. Abra. hams.
