Charges Against Chancellor Leather
man Will Be Investigated By
House—Garland County’s
Sheriff Pushes The
Charges.
Little Rock, Feb. 28.—In the house
today Speaker Moore submitted a
communication from Sheriff R. L.
Williams of Garland county request
ing him to lay before the house arti
cles of impeachment against Cnancel
lor Leland Leather man of Hot Springs
of the Third Chancery district.
On Thursday Mr. Kelso presented a
resolution directing an investigation
of the charges. The next day he with
drew the matter, saying he did not
live in the Third Chancery district and
preferred not to offer the resolution,
which had been presented by him by
request. The charges and specifica
tions were not read to the house Thurs
day.
When the subject was broached to
day, Mr. Thompson moved that the
articles be read to the house. This
was done. The speaker called Mr.
Williams to the clerk’s desk and re
quired him to sign the articles of im
peachment as the accuser. Mr. Wil
liams was then notified that he would
be liable for the costs it the charges,
were not sustained. Mr. Williams re
plied that he was willing to deposit
$1,000 in any bank. A prolonged dis
cussion ensued as to the proper mode
of procedure, and it was finally decid
ed to refer the matter to the judicary
committee for investigation.
WILL PROCEED IMMEDIATELY.
The house judiciary committee met
this afternoon and decided to begin
Monday afternoon to take the testi
mony in the charges against Chancel
lor Leatherman.
PASSENGER WRECKED
NEAR OLYPHANT.
* _
* North bound passenger No. 2, due
’ in Newport at 4:05 a. m. Monday was
wrecked just this side of Olyphant,
while running about two hours late.
' Seven cars left the track, also the en
gine and tender, leaving upon the rails
1 only the rear coach.
No one was seriously injured though
' the baggageman had one hand slight
* ly burned, having been thrown against
the stove.
The wreck was caused by a swing in
the track, one coach having left the
! rails when passing the station and this
caused the other oars to leave the
} track, as the train was running at a
high rate of speed. One baggage
coach came very nearly tumbling down
the dump and the track for quite a
distance was so badly torn up that
the wreck was not cleared until after
two o’clock in the afternoon.
. No 11 ran down to Olyphant, return
ing with many of No. 2’s passengers,
who breakfasted in Newport at a
rather late hour. Nos. 11 a«d 3 laid
over in Newport until the track was
cleared in the afternoon.

WILL WEIGH THE MAIL.
Tbe government has begun the re
weighing of all the mail carried by
the railroads of the country this
month. The work done by special
employes, who are selected
upon reccommendation of congress
men of the districts in which they
work. The weighing is done every
year, and it is expected that
this year will show that there has
been an enormous increase in tbe
amount of mail handled. It will take
30 days of consecutive work to get an
: approximation of the amount of mail
carried.
The magnitude of the work is shown
I by the fact that the government is
paying something like 84,000,000 an
nually for the main routes to say
nothing of the mail matter carried
upon smaller roads.
The mails will be weighed by the
government before being placed
aboard the train, and then be re
- weighed by the railway company.
Upon the tabulation furnished by
their representatives, the railroad
companies will base their calculations
in submitting bids for contracts.
CONTEST BEFORE
COUNTY COURT.
Judge J. M. Jones on Monday morn
mg at ten o’clock, began the consid
eration of the remonstrance filed by
the prohibition attorneys against the
issuance of licenses to sell liquor,
which paper he held could not be
presented by parties named in same
and was thus not entitled to receive
consideration in court.
One point raised in this paper, was
that no legal election had been held
upon the issue, the law requiring
cities of the second class to have
separate precincts for the town and
for the country electors.
But there seems to be much doubt
as to Newport being a city of the
second class. An ordinance was
passed dividing it into wards Feb. 22,
1892, but in 1899, the ordinances of the ,
city were compiled, renumbered and
published, leaving out this ordinance
dividing the city into wards. In the
ordinance at that time adopted, which
was approved May 8, 1899. Section 3,
says: “That all ordinances not men
tioned by number or otherwise de
scrioed, are hereby repealed.”
Though these divisions have con
tinued to be recognized and the origi
nal ordinance was doubtless not in
tentionally omitted from the compiled
list of 1899, this act has thrown into
doubt the status of this city as one of
the second or third class.
Other points occupied the attention
of court Monday, but no additional
applications fbr license were present
ed.
MRS. EMMA B. ABERNATHY.
Mrs. Emma Bell Abernathy died at
the home of her father John D.
Cook, Saturday afternoon, February
28, at 4 o’clock, aged 27 years and 4
months, after a sickness of 8 months,
but not until Saturday morning was
her condition regarded as critical.
At the request of the deceased, no
church services were held and the
obsequies at the grave in Walnut
Grove Cemetery upon Sunday after
noon, conducted by Rev. C. C. Cline
were simple but impressive.
The deceased was born near Bates
ville, Nov. 1, 1875, having moved to
Newport with her parents in 1890,
since which time, this city haB been
her home.
On May 8, 1896, she was married to
Mr. F. P. Abernathy. The deceased
was a member of the Christian church,
and one of those sweet characters
whose impress upon the world is for
the betterment and happiness of
others.
In her death, a husband, two chil
dren Ruby Marie and Minnie Lena
Abernathy, and her parents are left
to mourn the loss of one very dear.
To them is the consolation of knowing
that bodily infirmities have no place
in the world to which her spirit has
taken flight aqd the tender sympathy
of friends is offered upon the altar of
their grief.
