BOULDERS ARE REMOVED
Capt. Stallmes Removes Roth in Upper
White River.
Capt. T. B. Stallings, who has
been in charge of the work of
clearing the channel of White
river of the rocks thrown into
the stream during the building of
thq White River extension of the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
^ railway, was in the city this
morning. Capt. Stallings report
ed that all the rocks which were
in the way have been removed,
and that the stream is again
in good condition for navigation.
All the rocks that could be
taken out with a steamer were
removed by Cap. Stallings with
the steamer Twins, which work
was completed about a month ago
and he then put a force of men
to dynamiting all rocks that were
too large to be moved, which
work is now completed.
The time required to do the
work was three and one-half
months, which was done at the
expense of the railroad compa
ny, the government requiring
them to remove all obstructions
they had thrown into the stream.

Mr. and Mrs. Otto M. Bowen
Thursday evening announcing
the death of E. B. Emmons of

months employed by Robert
Askew in this city, and was mar

Claimed Divinity.
^'Little Rock, Oct. 19.—The un
known white man taken into
custody by the police Tuesday
evening, for insanity, was trans
ferred from the jail to the coun
ty hospital yesterday evening for
treatment. He said that he was
Jesus Christ, and that there was
a mob of Jews pursuing him to
crucify him. He wanted the
police to protect him.
There was no paper or mark
whereby his identity might be
ascertained, but he was seen dur
ing the day at the jail by Depu
ty Sheriff Chichester, who identi
fied him as a federal safekeeper
who was at the jail last spring.
His name is Isaac Oppenheimer,
alias J. W. Goiselman, and he
was brought here February 22
bp A. A. Hornsby from Mem
phis. on an order of removal, on
a charge of having mailed an
improper fitter. He was dis
charged on the ground of lunacy.
Nothing more had been seen
of him until he turned up Tues
day evening.
It is understood that his home
is in Ohio.

Continue in Demand as Slate Quaran
tine Will Not be Lifted Before
Heavy frost.
Little Rock, Oct. 19.-The lift
ing of the quarantine which has
so long been maintained against
yellow fever depends upon the
coming of a killing frost through
out the state.
In answer to numerous inquir
ies from guardsmen and others
interested, this is the most defi
nite information that Dr. Run
yan gives. The quarantine will
not be raised until there is no
danger whatever from the spread
ing of the disease through the
mosquito inoculation.
The quarantine on the north
ern and western borders and
along a part of the Mississippi
river front has been considerably
relaxed, many of the guards be
ing relieved, but no points are
being left unguarded.
Notwithstanding the near ap
proach of immunity, the demand
for health certificates continues
unabated. An average of more
than 100 daily are now being is
sued, and the total since August
29 has been 8,536.
: IN SOCIETY. \
CLOVER CLUB.
The most delightful social event
of the week, so far, was the en
tertainment of the Clover Club
by Mrs. Wm. Bailey at her hand
some home on Walnut street
Thursday afrernoon.
A goodly number of members
were present and with an equal
number of congenial guests
made the afternoon one of unu
sual pleasure to all present, and
the serving of a lunch that was
excellently prepared added but
another feature of enjoyment,
and which concluded the meeting.
The members present were
Mesdames Geo. R. Hays, Chas.
G. Henry, B. B. Bond. Wm.
Hooker, A. D. Bailey and H. E.
Cobb, and the guests were Mes

PREPARING TO HANG INCE.
Carpenters at Work Remodeling Scaffold
for Use Friday.
Danville, Oct. 19.— Ince will
hang at Danviiie Friday unless
the governor or the supreme
court take action to the contrary
in the matter, and it is net
thought that will be done now’,
inasmuch as the appeal in the
case has not been perfected un
to this date.
Carpenters are at work re
modeling the scaffold that was
previously built to hang Ince on,
and building an enclosure around
it. Sheriff Briggs and Deputy
Tatum went to Little Rock yes
terday after Ince, who is in the
penitentiary for safekeeping.

Little Rock, Oct. 19.-Another
point of difference has come to
the front between Governor Da
vis and the penitentiary manage
ment. Since last May the gov
nor has not signed any of the
regular monthly commutation
lists of prisoners to be relea.s* d
ahead of the expiration of their
sentence as provided by law, in
recogn.tion of good behavior.
Last May he addressed a letter
to Superintendent Pitcock de
manding that he be furn.'Shed
not only with the usual data con
tained in the list, but with a com
plete prison record of each con
vict to be released, includ.ng the
times he had been punished, etc.
Superintendent Pitcock refused
to do this and the letter went to
the waste basket. But the pris
oners continue to be released as
heretofore, even without the ap
proval of the governor. There
is record of these release* in the
offic3 of the Secretary, but the
sheriffs and other officers entitled
to the knowledge are still being
notified regularly.
