Two Arkansas Senators Causes

Ignored.
Washington, March 9.- Senato
James P. Clarke of Arkansas furnish
ed the unusual spectacle today of i
senator of the United States appear
ing without the customary escort t*
take the oath of office.
Senator Berry had requested Sena
tor Carmack to escort Senator Clark*
to the president’s chair. “Clarke die
likes me as cordially as he does you,’
said Carmack, “and 1 would not dar*
offer to escort him. He would pos
sibly not accept my kind offices.” Th*
question was then dropped.
When it came time today for nev
senators to take the oath Senato
Cockrell of Missouri escorted Senato
Stone to the president’s desk. Sena
tor Berry was deeply engrossed in ai
official publication, and paid no hee*
to the proceedings. Senator Clark
appeared at the head of the cente
aisle of the chamber unattended
Senator Bacon of Georgia, with a de
sire to relieve an embarrassing situa
tion, offered his arm to the new Ar
kansas senator. The offer was court
eously refused, and Mr. Clarke, wit
his head erect and eyes flashing
walked down the aisle alone and too
1 the oath. He was slightly embarrass
I ed, and forgot to shake the extende
; hand of the presiding officer after th
s oath had been administered. H
* signed the documents ou the clerk
i desk that made him a full-fledge

Willingham of this place was killed
Saturday by an explosion of dynamite.
He was preparing to blow out a stump
on .one of the public thoroughfares and
it is supposed that he dropped a knife
in the box containing fourteen sticks
of dynamite and about 100 shells or
caps, and that the knife struck one of
the caps, hence the explosion, which
literally blew his body into an unre
cognizable mass. Seven other men,
together with Road Commissioner
Stacks, were at work not over fifteen
feet from Willingham when the ex
! plosion occurred. All escaped injury
: save the terrible jar incident to the
; accident. The shock was felt all over
| the city. Willingham leaves a wife
and one child.
