WHEN TERMS BEGIN
 AT PENITENTIARy
Superintendent PitcOck Explains Un. necessary Loss of Time Experienc ed By New C0nyicts at State
 Prison,

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 20-All criminals sentenced to serve terms in the Arkansas penitentiary in the fu- ture will probably profit by the in- formation given by Supt. James A.. Pitcock, of the Arkansas penitentiary in meeting of the Penitentiary Board Monday morning, relative to the time sentences begin. Supt Pit cock stated that the sentences of most convicts begin when they ar- rive at the penitentiary, as the com- mittments of nearly all read in that manner. This was quite a shock to Attorney General Hal. l.. NorWeed, who states he did not believe the law intended the criminals should stay in Jail for some time before being transported to the penitentiary and lose the time between conviction and the commencement of the ser vice of sentence in the penitentiary.

ly that the Cotton Belt will have any conscientious scruples against invad- ing any of it's adversaries' territory and will take over the unfinished line.
 If the Cotton Belt should construct this road it will likely put quietus upon the Memphis, Dallas & Gulf in this part of Arkansas, and the whole scheme may be only a bluff game to attempt to frighten the M. D. & c. The Memphis line of the Cot ton Belt would probably cross the river between Crocketts Bluff and St.. Charles, and if built ito Marianna via Helena would parallel the other road almost to Memphis, unless the M. D. & G. crosses the Mississippi at Helena and goes into Memphis on the east side. @i@"

He intimated that if the question O. when sentences shall begin was re- fered to him by the proper authorl- ties he would render an opinion re- quiring the judges of the different courts to sentence all criminals with service commencing with the time or conviction. Such ruling as this would save for the convicts from a week to several months in some in stances. When a convict is kept in jail a week or more, under the pre- sent arrangement, before being taken to the penitentiary, he loses that much tinle Attorney General Nor wood stated he was prosecuting At torney for four years and never per mitted convict to lose this time. The question came up over the calcu- lation of time served in order to mako the convicts eligible to paroia. It was discovered that number of the eonvicts were convicted in terms of court held several months befo"e the convicts were placed in the pen itentiary.

WOULD PUT QUIETUS
 DON M. D. & (. ROAD
Protected Cotton Belt Line From Al myra to Memphis is Probably
 BrOached for that Purpose.

Stuttgart, Ark, Sept 19.-If the road now rumored between Almyra and Memphis is really built by the Cotton Belt, it seems probable that an Iron Mountain short line out of Marianna will be taken over and us- ed as a part of the main line. This road has been graded for more than 20 miles north toward the St. Francis river, from Marianna, and about six miles of steel was laid when oper- ations ceased. The Iron Mountain was behind the new road, but it is thought that an agreement with the Rock Island caused them to drop it. As the Cotton Belt has no such agree ment with the Rock Island in that territory. and besides has just came out of a tilt with that system in which 1t was out-manuevered, it is not like.

EXTENSIONS NOW
 BEING PUSHED
Secretary Bishop of M. D. and G. Road Says His Line Will Continue
 Its Western Extensions.

Helena, Ark, Sept 20.-Since the recent disturbances in plans of the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf Railway, occasioned by the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain and other large trunk lines of the State petitioning the 1n- terstate Commerce Commission at Washington for cancellation of their respective tariff contract with this company on the grounds of that railroad coming under the class ification of ''tap line" or logging road" matters connected with the de- velopment of this road have taken on a determined aspect looking to the early completion of their western ex- tensions.
 The company's engineers and sur veyors for the past two or three weeks have been energetically push ing the plans of this road in carrying out their proposed extensions west ward. Since the assurance afforded President E. c. Hornor, of the Bus mess Mems League of this city, by Secretary J. w. Bishop of the above road, that the protests occasioned by Missouri Pacific to the Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington had been finally removed and the prestige of the M. D. & G. restored to it's original basis, the company has gone uninterruptedly forward in pushing their proposed extensions.
 In letter recently addressed to President Horror by MT. Bishop with reference to the falling through" of the allegations preferred by the Iron Mountain, the latter mentioned the fact that the company would imme- diately resume all operations of a building nature, and hoped to have the steel of the road in the doorway of Helena within the prescribed time.
 The M., D. & G. have now almost 2 solid connection through to Dallas. which was secured by their purchase, some months ago, of two or more the gaps of the right of way obtained short line lengths which completes the gap of the right-of-way obtained and now owned by the road. When their main line is completed to this point the road will have one of the shortest routes to Texas now avail able.

HIS SECRET.
How a Bank Clerk Eventually
Became a Director.
BY JOHN JONES.

ciation.]
The lot Of younger son in England
is usually hard one because the boys
are brought up in affluence only to be
turned out with pittance when they
come Of age.
Clarence Meldron was one of these
younger sons, and at the age Of nine
teen a position on high stool In the
Bank Of England was obtained for
him. There has never been the chance
for a young man In England to rise as
In this country, and when Meldron en-
tered the bank to begin life Of drudg-
cry he felt like one on whom the doors
OF Jail had closed. What especially
filed him with melancholy was that
he loved the daughter Of baronet
whom her family considered sufficient
ly attractive to marry the frstborn
Of duke. And so she was. Lady
Emily Twiss was extremely pretty, ex-
tremely kind. extremely bright. In
deed, she possessed every feature to
recommend her as wife.
Young Meldron had been in the en-
ploy of the bank two years with
few pounds year increase in his sal
airy when he received note from
Lady Emily bidding him sad fare
well. The Marquis Of Stanforth had
proposed for her hand, and there was
no choice for her but to accept him.
On receipt Of Lady Emily's note Mel
dron suffered that agony which only
young lover knows who sees the
girl he worships pass to another man.
Before leaving the bank that after
noon Meldron was notified that he was
to deliver Il box of papers from the
strong room Of the hank the same even
ing to the house of one of the directors.
At the appointed time the young clerk
went to the bank. got the box and
carried it as instructed He WAS told
to wait in the hall. which he did for
an hour or more while several of the

directors were discussing a matter Of
finance in one Of the apartments.
Then he was called into the room
where they were convened.
&C.," said one of the gentlemen, ito
the bank and in the strong room you
will find a number Of chests in which
are also papers. Open the box marked
1872 and bring me the package mark
ed as indicated on this paper"
He handed Meldron a slip and
key. The young man took both, went
to the bank, was admitted and entered
to the strong room. Having possessed
himself Of what he had been sent for,
he looked about him.
He was in a room containing more
treasure than any in the world. Great
heaps of coin, bank bills and securi-
ties were deposited there. With
lantern he carried he poked about in
corners and crannies. Suddenly he
felt himself sliding downward. He
struck a stone floor over which water
was trickling, but he knew this only
from the source Of touch, for his Ian
tern had gone out.
He bethought himself Of a silver
matchbox in his pocket, kept there
for lighting his pipe. He struck
match and Illuminated a sewer. He
also lighted up the incline by which
he had entered it and saw that he
could 60 back the way he came. His
lantern was at his feet, and, picking It
up, he relighted it. Then he climbed
back into the strong room.
Fortunately he had not caught much
filth on his clothes, for he had not lost
his balance in his descent Of but few
feet. He ascended the stairs, was let
out by the man in charge and went
straight to the house where the di-
rectors were comforting. There he was
rated soundly for having been SO long
on his errand. He made no excuse
and was permitted to depart, his SUI
periors saying that they would not
need him longer.
A vision Of great change in his at
fairs loomed up In the young mans
mind. He possessed secret that In
volved millions. II he could leave the
strong room by means Of the sewer
others could enter it In the same way.
While the officials were watching their
treasure above ground by the most
carefully devised system there was no
watch whatever at this opening where
the sewer had broken and left free
entrance to the strong room.
No thought Of using his knowledge
for the purpose Of appropriating the
funds Of the bank entered his head.

A Miser's Luxury.

There was Middlesex couple once
who lived on sum to shock the most
reckless of our correspondents. Daniel
Dancer was the man. He looked on
saving as an art and saved for arts
sake. His father left him farm and
eighty acres. and his sister helped him
carry out his scheme of life. He let
the land lie fallow, says the London
Gest. 1t costs money to cultivate land.
For food the couple believed in one
day. one neal The batch Of dump
lings baked on a Saturday lasted out
the week. For clothing he depended
on hay bands "swathed round his feet
for boots and round his body for a
coat" But Daniel had weakness.
He would buy a clean shirt each year.
And out of this arose the tragedy Of
his life-a lost lawsuit over three
pence which, in Daniels judgment. the
shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed.
He died in 1894 worth $4,000 a year.

AT The POLLS J.
Serious Riots Occur at Eng

GENERAL CRY OF FRAUD.

Both Liberals and Conservatives
Charging the Other With Grossest
Padding of the PoIs-Opposition
Still Hoping That the Liberal Ma
jority Will Be Considerably Reduced.
London, Dec. 6.-Amid scenes of
the greatest disorder and with serious
riots reported in several places voting
was resumed on the third day of the
general election. The disorders are
particularly widespread in the indus
trial centers. ~
Owing to tremendous rainfall of late
the voting was conducted under a sc.
we're handicap. Floods held back the
voters in many constituencies. Sew
eral cases of drownings were reported.
Never before in an English election
has such cry of fraud gone up as in
the present voting. This is due to the
fact that the voting is under the reg
istration of eighteen months ago.
There have been thousands of deaths
and removals since the registration
and the opportunity is presented for
much fraudulent voting and both the
Liberals and Conservatives are charg-
ing the other with the grossest pad
ding of their polls. The groundwork
is being laid for many contests.
The Liberals went into the days
contest with renewed courage. Their
strong showing in London and Man
chester on Saturday gave them hope
that they would still further increase
their representation in the metropolis
in seventeen boroughs where there
were contests.
There is no longer the slightest
doubt that Liberals, with their Labor
and Nationalist allies, will control the
situation, but the Conservatives are
still hoping that the government ma
jOrity may be SO reduced that the king
will not accede to the demand for the
creation of Liberal peers and that
legislative deadlock can be effected on
all questions on which there is the
least division among the coalition
parties.
At the present time the results
