COMMITTEE, ALSO ON RAIL
WAYS AND CANALS AND CIVIL
SERVICE REFORM.

Washington, Dec. THE new con-
gressmen from Indiana got their first
taste of committee service today.
They sat through the special session
last spring and summer without much
to do except listen to the dry tariff
debates. For fear the house of repre-
sentatives might take a notion to take
up general legislation Speaker Cannon
delayed the appointment of the stand
ing committees until the last day of
the session. The Indiana members
received fairly good assignments, but
this first legislative session of the
new congress comes on with the state
much less conspicuous in the makeup
Of committees than for several ses-
sions. And yet the new democratic
members from the state will find that
they have working parts, if they real.

Passengers on Rock Island Railroad
 Have Close Call Yesterday Morning.

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-Miracu. lous was the escape from death ot large number of passengers on the fast Rock Island train at an early hour Sunday morning. The west. bound passenger train from Memphis Sunday morning came tearing into the Argenta yards, and when near the coal chute, struck an open switch. The engine crashed into a switch engine on the side track. crush ing J. M, Wood, an Argenta fire man. between the tender and the boiler head, killing him in. stantly. w. D.

Engineer Morrison of the passenger train, and en- geneer Lindley, of the switch en- zine, escaped injury. Mollie Sanders, negro woman passen- ger.on the train was thrown so she broke window out of the car in which she was riding with her head, cutting a rather ser ious gash in her head. c. W.

 Fully score of other passen- gers exhibited sprains, cuts and bruises, but as their injuries were slight, the railroad physi- elan attended them on the site of the wreck.

ARKANSAS LEADS
 IN DiyORCES
Statistics Show an Alarming Condition
 in the Matter of Marital Ties.

In view of the recommendation made by Gova Donaghey in his in- augural address that more strin- gent divorce laws be enacted by the General Assembly, statistics which are contained in a bulle- tin on marriage and divorce just issued by the bureau of the cen- sus are of peculiar interest in Arkansas. This report shows that for many years there have been few states in which the number of divorce decrees granted has been largely approximately than in Arkansas.
 During the five-year period of which 1900 was the median year the last period covered by this feature of the report there were only three states in the entire Knitted States which had high CT percentage of divorces than Arkansas. These three dates wer Montana. Colorado and Washington. During a similar five year period in which 1890 was the median year there were eight states which reported greater percentage of divorces than Arkansas. With the one eX- ception of Indiana these were all western states. They were Mon- tana. Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado Nevada Washington and Ore gon. During the ten years from 1890 to 1900, the percentage of divorces increased generally throughout the country, btu in 1900 Arkasans has outstripped most of the other states which had led her in 1900 in the hum Der of divorces granted and in 1900 she stood fourth from the top, or from the bottom of the list. which ever way it may be way it may be considered.
 These figures are based upon a comparison of the number of di- vorces granted with the total married population of the var ious states. In 1900 Arkansas had a total population, according to

During the five year period in which 1900 was the median eyar, the average number of di- vorces granted annually was r. 7S6 This was 399 divorces for every 100000 of the married population o fthe state. This per- centage was exceeded only m the three western states of Montana Colorado and Washington. In Montana the number of divorces was 497 to every 100000 mar ried population in COlorad it was 4O0 only ten more than in Arkansas and in Washington it was 513.
 The statistics on this sub ject furnish a striking contrast between Arkansas and such states as New York New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the North Atlantic, division and Georgia and North Carolina in the South Atlantic division.
 More divorces were granted annually during the five years from 1898 to 1902 in Arkansas, with it's total population of 1, ,311, 564, than in New York, with a population of 7,268, ,894. The average number of divorces re- ported in New York during that period was 1,658, as compared with 1886 in Arkansas. The number of divorces in New York was 60 for every 100000 of mar ried population, as compared with 399 in Arkansas. In New Jersey during the same period the average number of divorces granted yearly was only Al, or 60 for every 100000 of married population.

NEGRO LYNCHED
 BY MOB AT HOPE
Pays the Penalty for AssauIting Whi C
 Lady at that Place.

Passengers on No. 28 today re- port the lynching of a negro at Hope this morning at 5 o'clock. The body of the negro was still hanging to a telegraph pole at the depoS when the train passed, and could easily be seen from the car windows. Af- ter swinging him up, the mob having in charge the work of vengeance, riddled the body with bullets.
 The crime for which the ne gro, whose name was Dillard, paid the penalty is told as fol- lows in the Saturdays issue of the Hope Daily News:
 Last night a most horrible outrage was attempted by ne gro on the person of a most es- timable lady of Hope. At about or near 5:30 o'clock last evening the lady was returning to her home on Front Street. She was confronted by a burly young ne gro who made improper advanc- es. The lady attempted to pass on when the assaillant made a grab and catching her by the left arm made an effort to ac- compliSh a most heinous crime. The cries and screams of the lady evidently scared the mis- creant for he ran at rapid pace south on Front Street and in crossing a side street met Mir. Brundidge, who thought it strange to see the fellow in such hurry. Mr. Brundidge, how ever, found the lady in an al- most hysterical state, and assist ed her home. The news soon spread of the attempted outrage and Chief of Police Black assist by Night Marshal Griffith. Of ticer Mauldin, Constable Berry and others had thorough search inaugurated. Blood hounds had been secured in the meantime from Ashdown but on their arrivaffailed to get even a scept. During the night two negroes were arrested on suspic ion and at being confronted by the lady and Mr. Brundidge were declared innocent and re- leased. At five o'clock this morning Night Marshal Griffith arrested young negro, named Dillard, about IS years of age in front of Haynes and Singleton's fruit stand on Front Street and was taken in the presence of the lady and both she and Mr. Brun- didge declared that he was the miserable miscreant.
