PASSENGER WRECK.
 ON p. & N. W.SK. K.

Yesterday about D. m. the P. X N. w. local wrecked two miles west of town as it was coming in to the prairie, the passenger coach turning completely over.
 The train was running about ten miles an hour, when a log car just ahead of the passenger coach, jumped the track, derail- ing the coach, and throwing it on it's side. The car contained dozen or more passengers, none of whom were very seriously hurt. Mrs. Frank Line of Pine Bluff, suffered an injured foot, and probably one or two others were more or less hurt. The narrow escape of the entire par ty was doubtless due to the low rate of speed at which the train was running.
 This is the first passenger wreck the P. & N. W. has ever had in which anyone was hurt.

WORK CONTINUES ON
 STATE CAPITOL

Little Rock, July 28-Work continues on the State Capitol building and the convicts are rapidly knocking out the floor in the South end of the building.
 The floors of third and fourth stories have disappeared al ready. There are 91 convicts working on the building and the amount of cement floor they can cart out in day is amazing. The State Capitol Commission is meeting today to decide what course shall be pursued. The commission yesterday decided to proceed with the work until all members should be present and the matter gone over thoroughly.
 The arrival of the Beebe comp any in Argenta late yesterday af- ternoon gave origin to the report this company had been ordered out to guard the State Capitol and prevent the men there being interfered with and to prevent the officers of the county stop ping the men from their work. Governor Donagey permitted the story to secure some credance through a refusal to discuss the report or anything concerning the ordering of the company to Little Rock. He laughed at the idea of the state militia being used at the state house. Assist ant Adiutant General Compere denied knowing anything about the ordering of the company to Little Rock. Former Adjutant General Bullion also denied any knowledge of the soldiers com ing and members of the comp any stated they came under the impression they were to be used in guarding the Capitol bnilding. Late in the evening Adjutant General B. w. Greene stated the company had been one of those at camp Pindall which was fore ed to leave before the end of a weeks target practice, and as a full week was required, it was ordered out again with instruct ions to go into camp at Fort Lo- gan II. Roots for the purpose of shooting at the targets the bal ance of the week. Adiutant Gen eral Greene says there are no more companies coming, as all the others have been to target practice.
