 traitor Hoard.

Little Rock, April The senate passed the state fair appropriation bill this morning, and, according ts statements of the supporters, it waa q decided step forward in tho en- couragement of better farming and stock raising ill Arkansas. While five senators were opposed to if twenty five believed t to be q good measure II was the first appropriation ever made in this state to assist the State Fair Association.
 An incident of the passage of this measure was the presence of ex-Sea- ator Sumpter, working side by side with Senator Williams in an endeav- or to secure the bills passage They were recent opponents in the special election at Hot Springs. and it shows the ability of the people of that city to drop personal differences for gen eral good
 The senate also took up the Wina hlIl, uifhlAS du ttliuitlOudl dppIOpTld. tion of $30,000 for the per diem and mileage of the legislature, which fund has been exhausted. The bill was read twice and made special order for tomorrow morning.
 Senator Toney's anti-lynching bill was passed during the morning, de- spite the fact that it was reported adversely by the judiciary committee.
 A number of new senate bills were introduced.
 The house passed the Holland biK. providing for a free bridge over the Arkansas river between Van Burea and Fort Smith. Only four votes were cast against it.
 An effort was made by the oppea- ents of the Leigh-Dunaway State Cap itol Bill to have the state university appropriations bill taken up and 8 lively scrimmage ensued Discus sion at times was pointed and little short of acrid.
 The bill will be continued in con- sideration by committee of the whole, the main fight probably coming up over the question as to what the amount of the appropriation for the completion of the building shall be.

 \. l. Moore, Near Kendall.

Conway April 7.-~Walter Thomas was seriously cut with knife by Hamp Wiley, at the residence of A. A. Moore, near Kendall, last night, and Thomas recovery is doubtful
 Thomas and Wiley are cousins and were at outs and had been in many fights before. They met at party at MoOres and the old trouble was revived. Thomas is said to have been very much under the influence o; liquor and Wiley stabbed him eleven times with a large sized pocket knife while Wiley was not seriously in- jured and Was able to walk home.
 Thomas had cheap Barlow knife and the blade was about worn out When he saw he could not accom- plish anything with his knife he threw it down and picked up a piece of timber, but fell from exhaustion before he could use it on his assail- ant.
 There were but few witnesses to the difficulty, which is looked on as the continuation of previous trouble.

But it is not the policy of the law that such sales should lr st aside on account of matters which ought to have been attended to by the complaining par ties before the sale. By failing to assert their rights before the sale, or the confirmation thereof, appellants lost their right. The order of con- lirmation cured any defects or irreg- ularitiea In the sale: and no appeal was taken from the order of confirm ation. The chancellor was right in dismissing the complaint. and his de- cree Is affirmed.

THE DECISION IN
 PINE BLUFF CASE
Supreme Court Says That Judge EI- l0tt Was Right in His Ruling in the Case of Bank of Pine Bluff Against Mrs. Levi and Miss Strauss The Latter Won Out.

In sustaining the decision of Chan cellor John M. Elliott, of this city. the supreme court, in affirming the decision of the Jefferson chancery court in the case of the Bank of Pine Bluff and others against Mrs. Minnie Levi and Miss Edna Strauss, in which the pla ntiffs sought to set aside the sale of property in Pine Bluff, says :
 Appellants, as creditors of the es- tate of Hanchi Bloom. deceased, in stituted this action by an original bill in equity, to set aside an order of the Jefferson chancery court confirm ing the sale of certain lots in the city of Pine Bluff made under a de- cree of said court, foreclosing a mortgage thereon, in suit between the mortgages as parties plaintiff and the administrator and heirs of the estate of said Hanchi Bloom, de- admitted that due notice was given of said order of sale; and from the order confirming said sale no appeal was taken. The chancellor dismissed appellants complaint for want of equity.
 This court holds that appellants right of action, if any they had, was matter which should have been as- serted and adjudicated before the or der was made confirming said sale In the original suit wherein the de cree of sale was made, it was the duty of the chancellor to protect the rights of all parties interested; and after the making of the sale, all par
