DIR. GREENE'S CHARGES.

There is a widespread demand for an investigation of the alleged mis doings of the State Board of Charities Tn the matter of the enforced resigna. nation of Dr. j. L. Greene, superin. tendent of the hospital for nprvous diseases, and the juggling ofthe funds set apart for the maintenance of that ms ltution. In his letter to the npb llc concerning the causes which led to the severance of his connection with the hospital, Dr Greene poinfs ont the extravaganza of the beard in the construction of the lighting and heat Ing plant, for which purpose s75. .0OG had been appropriated. This sum was exhausted and more than $50, ,O0O addi- tional was transferred d from other funds Of the institution before this piahC was completed. Dr. Greene pro tested against this action of the board, , ciaimlhg that such a proceeding was Illegal, and refused to endorse inc vouchers issued at the order of the board, and Dr, Green was right. Ac- cording to Dr. Greene's statement. there were other fragrant violations ol the spirit, as well as the letter. of the law on the part of the board, and the protests of the superintendent were ignored or .overrdden. The vouchers were ordered paid without Dr Greene's signature, which in ltseH is palpably illegal. Not the least of the alleged sins of the mem
 oers of the board was the practice of hepotlsm, which is also illegal.
 Governor Hays has taken cognizance ot the imbroglio, and has notified The members of the board that unless they can give a satisfactory explana. ton of their acts and contloyert the charges made by Dr. Greene at inc coming monthly meeting of the board ne Will demand their resigna,ious instanter.

The intelligence was quickly flashed to Forrest City, where it created profound sadnese among a wide circle of friends The fatal operation was the third which he had undergone, and the two previous ones had left him too frail of physique to withstand the added draft upon his resistive powers.

MURDER AT HETH.
Mary Ross, Negress, Cuts the Nuptial Knot With Shotgun Charged
 With BuckshOt.

Information reached the city Tues day night of murder at Heth which developed some grewsome features.
 It see m s that negress named Mary Ross, wife of John Ross, a ne- gro well-known in the eastern portion of the county, became enamored of one Walter Dartch ne ghbor, and her affinity seemed to re urn her af lection. The only obstruction in the primrose path was the husband, and John furnished no grounds for legal separation. But Cupid the wicked sprite, who is charged with more mis chief than we think he is really gull ty of, had shot his arrows true, and the yearning for each other society, untra m m led by the metes and bonds fixed by the law in the shape of a husband, became overpowering, and the smitten twain cast about for some means to rid themselves of the unWelcome spouse. A friend named Velvet Couch was called in council, and Couch counseled drastic measures, being none other than the violent re- moval of John Ross. This met the appreciation of the Ross woman and her impatient affinity, and it was de- cided to eliminate John by way of the shotgun route. And after this determination was reached, the trag- edy was rushed to it's deadly end with appalling speed.
 Ross wife procured shotgun and, charging it heavily with buckshot, went out after her husband. She found him standing on the tracks of the Rock Island road, and ignoring the rapid approach of east bound train No. 46, the fast through train which passes Forrest City at $40 D. m., she cut loose and filled the stom- ach of her nnsuspecting helpmeet with lead. The murdered man fell across the rails. The speeding train was too close upon the victim to be stopped before running over him, and the body was severed at the upper part of the breast and the ower part of the stomach, the portion bearing the bullet wounds being untouched The man was probably dead before the train struck and mangled him, as fourteen buckshot had penetrated vital part of his anatomy.
 The Ross woman and her accom- pllces, Dartch and Couch, were ar rested Immediately and brought to Forrest City W ednesday morning It was at first thought that Oar ch fired the fatal shot, but at the preliminary hearing before Squire Sam Hodges the woman confessed 10 the crime, stating that she killed her husband and the court held her to the grand jury as principal on a charge Of first degree murder and Dartch and Couch as accessories. All the parties were remanded to jail without bail to await the action of the grand jury at the March term of the circHit court.
 Taking it all in all, it was about the most brutal, heartless affair we have been called upon to chronicle in many a day.
