PINE BLUFF IS SAFE
GREAT DAMAGE sY WATER IN AR- KANSAS.
Rainfall Alarms the People, But Danger Is Believed To Be Over-Much
 Property Has Been Destroyed.

Pine Bluff, Ark. Dec. 5---Early to- night the Arkansas River, which for the past several days has steadily en- croached upon this city, was at stand. and the danger of further great loss seemed over.
 At midnight. however. rain began to fall which will add another menace through the softenIng of the banks By tomorrow the river will begin to recede.
 Three buildings. a store and ware house building, and two smaller atructures, were swept into the stream late today.
 : The actual losses during the week are estimated at $sss.100 and the estimated deapreciation of property values is at least as much. Hundreds of men ara stiii at work building fascines along the river front and fully fifty fascineH have been dumped into the river h the past ten hours in the rear of the Jer ferson county court house. The hotel Is now believed to be safe, for the time heinz. but immediate repair of the riv- or banks and the re-estabIishmens ot government dykes are demanded by the business section in order 70 protect husfnesg blocks from further aana9G v.

 Thomasviile, Ga, Dec. s.--one of the most unusual scenes ever enacted in . Georgia court room. attended the dra- matic sentencing today of V. H. Mitch ell to twelve months Imprisonment for assault and battery upon Miss Lucille Linton
 The presiding judge and the prose- cuting. oficer immediately after the verdict of guilty had been announced. united in official expressions of their confidence in the prisoners integrity.
 Mitchell the leading and most re- spected member of one of South Geor- gia's foremost families, man 50 years Of age, had been convicted of attempt ing to abdnct Miss Lucille Linton. her NeIf about 70 years of age, according ko her testimony MitcheiRs former ward, Intimate friend of his family. and of considerable wealth.
 Mitchell's prosecutor Colonel Wal ters. after the verdict. arose and said: ''If there has been injustice done, the great God will in His time prove this and make atonement for the wrong done this man.
 Judge l.. S. Roan. even while pro- nouncing sentence, complimented Mitchell. and said that 1t might be q stDr Jekyli and Mir. Hyde case.
 Mitchell himself, amid impressive silence. reiterated the one short state tnent which he had to make during the trial. namely. that he was the vic- tim of circumstantial evidence.
 The ending of the trial stilI leaves two mysteries in the case practically untouched One Is what motive a man of Mitcha1l's standing could have had in trying 70 Rbduct Mss Linton. and the other is the hidden Identify of the person who shot Mitchell two days af- ter the attempted Kidnapping. Mitch ell was shot through both legs and walks yet with the aid of Q cane.

Greensboro, Dec. 5.--(special.)-- Death for Joe McDaniels; life impris- onment for Charles Taylor and Shed williams. and the jury still out delib- erating over the fate of Ed Howard. This sums up. the result of the special term of the court conveped to inVes- tigate the brutal murder of former Sheriff R. ". Drake at his home in Laneville about ten days ago.
 After dissatisfaction caused by the verdict in the cause of Shed Williams, sent up for life, 1t was a foregone conclusion, that Joe McDaniels, the second negro on trial, would be given the death. penalty. This jury met ex- pectations and this was the verdict Tn the EfeDaniels case.
 Charles Taylor. thee negro who con fessed pleaded guilty, and at the re- quest of Solicitor J, F. Thompson, the jury returned with a verdict fixing his punishment at life Imprisonment.
 Inmediat tely after the trial of Mo- Daniels, the State took up the case against Ed Howard. The evidence in this case was practically the same as in the others, and the case went to the jury at 9:3O o'clock tonight. At 12 o'clock the jury reported that 1t had not reached a verdict and that 1t need not be expected tonight,
 When the jury retired to consider the fate of Howard, Charles Taylor was brought into court. This is the negro who told the story of the heart- less murder. duplicating himself put claiming that Shed Williams struck the fatal blow. Taylor pleaded guilty. Mercy for Taylor.
 Solicitor Thompson, addressing the jury, said that if 1t had not heen Tor the assistance of Taylor, the slayers of Mir. Drake might have gone with out punishment. This negro had sup piled the evidence that convicted the others, and he asked that the jury fix his punishment at life imprison- mept. He assured the Jury that this punishment would be satisfactory to the people of Hale County. The jury retired and in about fifteen minutes returned with a verdict of guilty and fixing the penalty at life imprison- ment.
 At 10 o'clock tonight Joe McDaniels was brought into court and Judge Miller sentenced him to be hanged on Jan. 15.
 The same witnesses were used In all of the cases and the testimony in the case against McDaniels, who will die for the crime, was practically the same as that given in the case of Shed Williams, who is accused of being the chief conspirator. Williams will serve life sentence.
 When the jury in the case of Ed Howard reports the work of the spe- ciaI term of court will have been com- nleted as the cases against the five other negroes will be dismissed. Every precaution was taken last night to prevent mob violence the jail was we'll guarded and the electric ' lights burned all night. Although there was the greatest indignation among the

U. 5. CP5lSER !. YAyxAEE SINKS Igs Six Fathoms of

 Can UIsimately Be
 Raised.

New Bedford. Mass, Dec. 5.--Freed frops Spindle Rock. in Buzsard's Bay. where she had been impaIed for two weeks. the United States cruiser Yan- kee, sank six fathoms deep. early to- day. near what Is known as the Sand Spit, while being lowed to this city for repairs.
 The sinking occurred at o'clock this morning. Tn spite of the discour- aging situation. 1t is believed that the vessel can be raised and work to that end was begun before night The cause of today's accident was an un- usually heavy sea
 The cruiser did not sink at once. but went down as the wreckers were att tempting to tow her to shallow va. ter. The 150 members of the cruisers crew were landed safely.
 The sinking of the Yankee was the continuation of q cruise from Newport to the neighborhood of Martha's vtne- yard to attend the submarine fiotllla in thefr fall maneuveTs. The Yankee struck on Spindle Rock at the western entrance to Buzzard's Bay during 6 thick fog on September 2S. After per- sistent efforts by the Government to free the cruiser had failed. John Ar buckle, the New York sugar NreslIer, believing he could float the vessel by use of compressed air. offered his ser vices ard contract was made by the terms of which Mr. AwbuckIe was 10 ret 3s7, 500 if he hoated the Yankee, while if he failed he was to receive s25, 900. Yesterday the Yankee was fioated.
 With only portion of her forward deck, her funnel and her ,masts pros tecting above the water, the Yankee rested tonight, on the bottom of -Bux. zards Bay, not far from Penikezee is- land. on which the State leper colony Is located.
 Although the Yankees position and condition arc most unfavoFable, it ts the opinion among wree1efs and naval officers tfat her raiAlng will prove much less difneulf and ttakilaN hers than was her freeing from the Hen and Chickens ledge,
 Although DO lives were lost when the Yankee went down. Charles e. Marsh in command of the crutser and Engineer William Wallace Wether- spoon and Capt. James T: McAlltster who were in charge of salvage opera ttons and six members of the crew had to climb hastily into the rigging and then jump on board one of the tugs to escape being carried down.

Birmingham. when the City Council, as a matter of decency and fair play was In honor bound to abide by the result of such election. Mir. Gambill must resign from the City Council If he expects to enjoy the confidence of his fellow citizeus.
 "Second-we condemn the dilstory action of the Council in referring to the Judiciary Committee those reports of the special committees. which con- demned Aldermen Klotz and Forney, as having been guilty of offieial mis- conduct. and It's failure promptly to have provided for their impeachment and expulsion from the Council.
