BUSINESS HOUSES BURN.
Fire Originating in Rear of Post Office
Burns Four Store Buildings—Sev
eral Severe Losses Sustained.
Shortly after three o’clock Monday
morning, Joe Washington, porter for
the Hazel Hotel, thinking that he de
tected the odor of burning tar, made
an inspection tour around the hotel
building, but seeing neither smoke
nor fire, concluded that his fears were
not well grounded. An hour later
however, he noticed smoke issuing
from the front brick wall of the post
office. Upon breaking open the door,
the smoke burst forth, removing all
doubts as to the reality and scene of
the fire.
The alarm was turned in at 4:10 a.
m. followed by a quick response upon
the part of the company, but the
flames had gained such headway that
owing to the peculiar construction of
the building, the work of trying to
confine the flames to one building
proved futile. The first adjacent
building on the south and the two on
the north are are all owned by H. L.
Remmel and owing to defective roof
ing, the fire walls of each wore torn
away a few years ago and a second
roof had been put down over the first.
Patching had continued until there
were four roofs upon these buildings
and the fire after once getting in
between these layers of roofing, baf
fled the work of the company.
Though the weather was the coldest
of the winter, the tire laddies worked
faithfully throughout the morning,
though their clothing was stiff with
ice. The contents of Bracy’s restau
rant and confectionery were partially
saved, but the mail and postoffice fix
tures are almost a total loss. The
total-loss probably aggregates between i
§12,000 and $15,000 which is partially
covered by $10,500 insurance.
INDIVIDUAL LOSSES.
The four single story brick store
buildings are valued at $6,000 to $8,000
and insured for the former amount by
the owner, H. L. Remmel of Little
Rock. E. D. Bracy & Co. estimate their
loss at $4,000 to $5,000, which is par
tially covered by the following insur
ance: Fixtures, $1,000; contents,
$800; soda fountain, $800.
W. B. Empie, with $400 insurance
on post office fixtures, claims a loss of
$1,000. To a reporter for the Inde
pendent he stated that the post office
would be reopened for service as soon
as possible, probably in Col. L. Minor’s
office.
Wm. Knoles carried insurance on his
stock to the sum of $1,100.
J. C. NICHOLAS DEAD.
Joseph C. Nicholas, general bag
gage agent, Missouri Pacific system,
died at his residence, 4133 McPherson
avenue in St. Louis on Friday night at
12 o’clock, of heart failure. Mr.
Nicholas had been connected with
the general passenger department of
the Missouri Pacific system under
General Passenger and Ticket Agent
H. C. Townsend in various capacities
for over twenty years, and was one of
the most efficient officers in the ser
vice. His official and personal rec
ords were of the highest standing.
The funeral took place Sunday after
noon at 2 o’clock from the family
residence.
The deceased was one of the prom
inent railroad officials in attendance
at the depot celebration banquet and
| made many warm Mends and admir
! ers, who learn with sorrow of his de
j mise.

CONTEST FOR LICENSE.
Battle Begins Between Attorneys for
And Against License Before Coun
ty Judge, Dr. J. M. Jones—
Prohis Introduce Techni
calities.
^ -
The contest in the courts, which had
been promised by the preparations of
prohis and the advocates of saloons
opened Monday morning before Dr.
J. M. Jones, sitting as county judge.
Petitions had been filed from the
adults of the Newport and Jackson
port three mile districts, asking the
revocation of the court order of two
years ago and the reinstatement of
saloons.
The attorneys for the prohis de
murred to the jurisdiction of Judge
Jones’ court and asked the striking
off of 67 names found upon the petition
of the “wets” from the Jacksonport
district, alleging the same to be un
qualified.
Court took a recess until afternoon,
when Judge Stuckey for the license
advocates asked of the court the re
vocation of the order of 1901, refusing
license. At this point, S. D. Campbell
for the prohis, objected to the con
sideration of this petition, first upon
the ground that the license petition
was addressed to Dr. J. M. Jones,
judge, as distinguished from the
county judge and thus no petition
could be prayed of the court.
Secondly, objection was made on
the technicality that court had ad
journed on January 6, without speci
fying an adjourned session and conse
quently the January term had lapsed.
In support of this second objection,
Clerk E. L. Boyce and Sheriff R. W.
Bandy were called as witnesses and
Kvoviiavu vuuv invi* »»»*'-' '» O
court had not adjourned to any speci
fied date.
Argument upon this motion was be
ing heard at press hour and the peti
tion may be granted and saloons li
censed during the afternoon session.
Such is the hope of the saloon forces.
Their attorneys are Stuckey &
Stuckey, Stayton & Stayton and Gus
tave Jones, while Phillips and Camp
bell, G. A. Hillhouse and J. M. Bell,
represent the opponents of license.
HEARING SET FOR FRIDAY.
Later—At 3:30 p. m., in response to
request of attorneys for prohis, the
court adjourned to Friday morning,
when the petition for revocation of
the old court order will be heard and
a decision rendered.
CAPTAIN FITCH PROMOTED.
“Capt. Graham D. Fitch, corps of
engineers, is relieved from his pres
ent duties, and will proceed to West
Point for duty at the academy.”
The foregoing order from the war
department at Washington was issued
Thursday, and was read with interest
in Little Rock Saturday, as Captain
Fitch is in charge of the United States
engineer’s office, on Ninth and Center
streets, in Little Rock, and has charge
of the work on the Arkansas river and
in this vicinity.
Captain Fitch came to Little Rock
two years ago, succeeding Capt. Rob
ert McGregor, who died last week in
the Philippines, as United States en
gineer, in Little Rock He came
from Memphis, where for a year he
had been in charge of the Mississippi
river work. Prior to that he was in
Cuba in command of an engineering
corps, and was engaged in the Santi
ago campaign in 1898.
He is the ranking captain of the en
gineer corps, and is next in line for
promotion to the rank of major.
Though the order received does not
mention change in rank, the transfer
to the academy at West Point is a
promotion, as none but the best offi
cers in the service are selected for the
duties of instructor to the troops
there.

The Jackson county circuit court
convened in open session Monday
morning, Judge F. D. Fulkerson pre

MOORE CLEARLY LEADING.
Phillips County Candidate Looks Like
A Winner for House Speaker
ship- Senator Short Successful
In Senate.
Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 11.—De
velopments in the contests for presi
dent of the senate and speaker of the
house followed thick and fast yester
day. Shortly afternoon Senator
Thomas W. Hardy of Camden an
nounced his withdrawal from the
presidency contest, which was follow
ed one hour later by a statement from
Representative R. W. Chrisp of Sear
cy, that he had withdrawn from the
speakership race. Tonight, shortly
after supper Senator Creed Caldwell
of Pine Bluff, called a conference of
his friends, and after its close Senator
M. P. Huddleston, one of his sup
porters called at the headquarters of
Senator Joe L. Short and announced
the withdrawal of Senator Caldwell.
This left a clear field for Senator Short
and at Monday’s senatorial caucus he
will be selected to preside over the
senate.
The speakership contest continues
to be the interesting feature of the
organization contests. The Moore
forces and Toney adherents again held
caucuses and conferences during the
day. It is learned upon the best au
thority that fifty-seven represent
atives were present and disclosed
their intentions of voting for Moore,
while six others were represented by
trusted agents, who made the same
statement. It is now generally con
ceded outside of the Toney head
quarters that Judge Moore has won
the fight.
