STEAMER GRAND
 IS HELD UP Was Unable to Pass Cotton Belt Bridge at Rob Roy and Returned
TRIP IS INTERRUPTED
Captain Daniels Says He Will Sue Railroad for Damages
 Returns to Capital.

The steamer Grand, from Little Rock, arrived here Monday night from the capital, with a large cargo of freight and passengers for the State farm at Cummins landing. The steamer tied up here during the night and left Pine Bluff for the State farm at daylight yesterday, expecting to pass through the draw span of the Rob Roy bridge without trouble, but on the boat s arrival there. Captain H. C. Daniels, who is in charge of the boat, found only twelve inches of water just below the draw span chan nel. The boat was forced to return to this city and Captain Daniels en- tered protest against the Cotton Belt for the detention of the boat and it's cargo for the point of desti with the resident and assistant en- sineers of the Cotton Belt railroad, sounded the channel at Rob Roy and demonstrated to them the obstruction to navigation. After leaving the bridge Captain Daniels had his boat enter the channel of the river and an chor just above the south end of the Cotton Belt bridge where there IS five and a half feet of water to the bridge. which is stationary or fix ed span and which prevented the steamer from proceeding down the river, without lowering the chimneys of the boat and removing the pilot house. The steamer was then re- turned to Pine Bluff The steamer will return to Little Rock at day light this morning. The cargo for the state farm will either be sent there on the Steamer Harbin Satur- day or by rail today.
 Captain Daniels says he will entet suit against the Cotton Belt railroad on behalf of the Little Rock Packet Company for damages for detention and depriving the company of busi- ness at the state farm. The officials of the Packet company claim that the Cotton Belt is wholly responsible for the crippled navigation. The company will not attempt to bring the Rapids from Memphis at pre- sent.

Scores for the Defense in the Ellis Case Tester
 day, When on Stand
MAJ. FURTH IS HEARD
Iestiffes That He Ordered Willis
 out of P0stOffice When He Made Charges.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 30.-The El- lis trial this morning was more ex- citing and sensational than at any time since it started, and at times it seemed as if the attorney witnesses and one of the attorneys for the state would trangress the rules of the court in heated argument
 9A This occurred when Judge Elliott took the stand and when he was being cross-examined by MT. Rhoton. The witness said Ellis had shown him a letter from the deceased to the little girl, in which the sentence appeared Your mother is an impure woman, and the judge said that when he read that sentence he said to Ellis. That letter is a d. outrage-infamous and the man who wrote it ought to have his neck broke. It was while testifying about this that the heated Argument between him and Mr. Rho- ton took place.
 k Mass of Correspondence.
 EThe testimony this morning was an- other mass of correspondence that told the tragedy of a life as strange ks fiction. All the sorrow and the <athos of the incidents that have led ND to this tragedy came out as never MS.ere. during the trial. The letter

:" A Corking Good Playo
 Teddy Was Right

play of uniform excellence and exceptional merit. the one that merit ed the large and appreciative audi ence that greeted it is .'The Centle- man from Mississippi presented at the Elks Theater last night In the words of former President Roosevelt who saw the play in the national capital, where the scenes are laid It Is truly perfectly corking play It is the work of Harrison Rhodes and Thomas 4. Wise. The fact that Brady and Grismer put the piece on the road is testimonial of it's worth These producers have in the past of fered Pine Rluffians The Man Who Stood Still. which will never =be for gotten by them, and they are soon to offer 10 us The Man of the Hour. But to get back to last nights per formance. The Gentleman from Mississippi is up-to-now It deals with the every day political life at Washington, in which a Mississippi senator, green but honest. plays an important part The Gentleman from Mississippi, is perfectly pre- sented in person of Robert A. Fischer an actor of exceptional ability. The new senator falls into a trap. set for ihlm by congressman from his dis n oil vol l,t experience in doings in the national legislative halls, who successfully for a time entang1e him in d piece of crooked leeislation They inveigla the Mississppian son into investing some money in land deal, thereby making it appear the senator is being influenced to vote in favor of cer tain bill to establish naval station on the Mississippi coast because of
 his financial interest in the land about the site for the proposed stat ion. The scheme of the interruptions politicians are fraustrated by the Mis- sissippan through the aid of bright newspaper reporter (Hans Roberts, and the senate is made to sit up and take a notice. In the end the Cen and the young newspaper man wins the senator's daughter, while the "old heads at the game admit that they are beaten and gracefully take their medicine.
 A capable company presents the great comedy and not one member of the large cast could be improved upon. The excellence of the per fOrmance was amply proven last night lby the repeated curtain calls at the close of each act There are many fine actors in the company, Robert Fischer and Hans Roberts doing some great comedy work Miss Louise de Rigney as Mrs. Spangler" shares the hOnors with the stars and it might be added that she is one of the most stage this season. Manager Philpot is to be complimented upon securing The Gentleman from Mississippi It is without doubt the best show of it's kind seen here for some years. The large audience last night went away from the theater regretting the fact that the curtain had fallen on the last act

BATTLE OF BALLOTS
 IS ON TODAY Great Interest Being Mani fested in Contests in
 This County.
POLLS OPEN AT 8 P. M
Close at 1:30 P. M.-t'iiairman Alex ander Says Absolute Fairness Will
 Prerail-Some of the Candidates

The battle of ballots, in which the voters of this county will select all of the county officers for the ensuing years, will be the center of attrac- tested in the outcome of several of them. For ten weeks the candidates have been making d whrl wind cam paign in this city and all sections of the county and Democratic meetings have been held at every cross reading and township polling place since the campaign opened. Personalities have been ejected into the county and probate judges contest. in which Judge James Gould is being opposed for third term by Attorney s. J. Hunt. Other candidates have been active in telling of the demerits of their opponents and at times the ar guments were heated. Fortunately. however. no repetitons of the incl dents that characterized the Jeff Davis-Judge Wood gubernatorial campaign in this state some few years ago, have been recorded. The feeling has run high at times but the cooler heads prevailed and no unpleasantries have resulted.
 Chairman Joe P. Alexander, of the Jefferson county Democratic central committee, stated last night that the election today would be absolutely fair. Every candidate will be given an equal break in the casting and counting of votes in every precinct and he assures the voters that the will of the ballot will prevail when the totals are made.
 The polls will open at s o'clock this morning and close at 5:3O D. m. There will be no change in location of polling places in this city. The first ward polls will be located at the Brookhill hotel, the second ward i'll the Brewster block on Pine street near Fourth avenue; the third ward in Wells stable on Beech street, and the fourth ward. at Bridges cotton scales on West BarraQue street. The Vaugine township polling booths will be in the City Hall at East Barraque and State streets. Deputy sheriffs have been appointed to serve at all of the polling places throughout the county and city. In the city there are clerks announced several days ago by the sub committed
 Much interest is also being taken in the race for sheriff and collector, in which Circuit Clerk Edgar Brewster is opposing Sheriff C. VI. Philpot, who asks for a third term. A. F. McNeill. w. A.

lis and had effect on the condition of his mind.
 It was generally conceded that the testimony of Judge Elliott scored for the defense. The letter about which he testified is said to have been lost or stolen, and during the hearing of on the stand to testify to that one thing only On the stand he appeared to be calm and collected and in re- ply to the question as to where that letter was now he said that letter was either lost or stolen, but was read by Judge Elliott and it was
 then that Judge Elliott took the stand
 Postmaster Furth Testifies.
 Postmaster Fnrth was on the stand this morning and his testimony relat- ed to what had been done about the delivering of the registered mail to Mrs. Ellis that had been sent her by her former husband to the fact that the deceased that at that time com plained to the department that the mail had been improperly delivered During his examination he said the deceased had come to him and wanted him to tell if Mrs Ellis had rented a box at the postof1ice under a ficti tious name or if she received her mail under a fictitious name. and at the time intmated there would be money in it if he could secure such evidence, when the postmaster said he ordered Willis to leave the post office. That the time suit was instituted in the court here for custody of the child.
 Mike Danaher, who was on the stand the greater part of the after noon yesterday, was again on the stand the greater part of the fore noon. and was cross examined for more than an hour by Mr, Rhoton for the state
 When the court adjourned for the noon recess Judge Elliott was still on the stand. He had been cross ex- amined by the state and was being questioned redirectly by Congressman Robinson for the defense. The first witness on the stand this afternoon was deputy Sheriff Barney Steil, the one who accompanied the sheriff when Ellis was arrested after the homicide and taken to Newport.
 During the morning session R. l.. Rutherford was also recalled to the stand. He testified in regard to what Sennett G. Seabrook had told him about what Viola Gray was doing in Pine Bluff. He said that the woman was there to get up evidence detrimen tai to Mrs. Ellis, that Seabrook told her that she could not do that because she was pure and virtuous woman and could not be able to find anything against her. The woman told Mir. Seabrook the witness said, that she would kidnap Little Mary if she did not succeed.
 Will Ellis was put on the stand when court convened for the after noon, to testify to a recital of his wife S troubles with Willis. as told by his wife, but the state objected on the ground that communication from wife to husband or husband to wife was not competent testimony. The at torneys went into Judge Lees cham Der to argue the question and re- mained there for two hours, after which it was finally agreed that Ellis would not be used again until We'd nesday morning.
 The only other witnesses put on the stand during the afternoon was Deputy Sheriff Barney Steil, who teS- tified that Ellis slept all the way to Newport when being taken to that place by officers immediately after the killing.
