HEAD END COLLISION.
The only regular train—though the
first day’s service hardly entitles it to
even this distinction—on the White
& Black River branch of the Choctaw,
suffered quite a serious collision at
4:50 o’clock Wednesday afternoon,
one mile north of Riverside.
The local freight which is to make
the run from Brinkley to Newport
and return in one day had only
reached Riverside at the time stated
in the afternoon on the going trip and
had orders to pass the work train at
that point, when the latter ran in to
that town for water. In some inex
plicable way, there was a misunder
standing and the two trains met each
other under good headway on a curve
a little over a mile north of Riverside.
Aside from a few scratches, no one
was seriously hurt, though the par
ticulars of the wreck and injuries are
not obtainable at this hour. Both en
gines were disabled, a number of cars
ditched and damaged and the track
torn up, but the same had been
cleared early Thursday morning by a
work train from the main line. The
arrival of the local freight depends
upon when an engine can be secured
and may not reach here before Friday.
DAVIS BRANDS DINSMORE
A REDCOAT.
Bentonville, Aug. 13.—Hon. C. D.
Greaves addressed a large audience at
the court house at 11 a. m. yesterday.
At 1 p. m. Hon. H. H. Myers was in
troduced and made his usual speech.
At the conclusion of his address Gov
ernor Davis was introduced by F. G.
Lindsey. He denounced Myers, Clay
ton and Remmel and discussed state
issues at some length. He referred to
Congressman Dinsmore having called
him a demagogue, and Mr. Dinsmore,
who was present in the audience, ac
knowledged that he had done so and
explained the circumstances.
“Smoke the redcoats out,” dramat
ically said Governor Davis.
“Who are the redcoats?” asked Mr.
Dinsmore, and the governor retorted:
“Any man who will criticise the
nominees after thg_ nominations are
made.”
SENGEL FAVORS SALARIES.
Little Rock, Aug. 13.—Senator Geo.
Sengel, of Fort Smith, said Tuesday
that he hoped the constitutional
amendment to be voted on at the
coming election would be adopted by
the people.
This amendment to the constitution,
if adopted, gives the legislature the
right to put members on a salary in
stead of the per diem plan. Senator
Sengel says if the amendment
is adopted he will vote to pay each
member a salary of §1,000 each session
and let them get through
with the business and adjourn. This,
he added, would be an inducement for
our very best men to offer themselves
as candidates for the legislature.

INTERLOCKING SWITCH
FOR RAILROAD CROSSING.
“The new interlocking Bwitch, just
installed by the Iron Mountain and
Southeastern railroads at their cross
ing near this city, is a great affair,”
says the Poplar Bluff Citizen. “It is
one of the most modern devices and is
so arranged that an accident cannot
possibly occur on the crossing.
“The switch is composed of a very
intricate arrangement, which can close
or open the two tracks on all sides of
the crossing, compelling trains to stop
or be ^derailed. These breaks in the
tracks are about 250 yards from the
crossing, and the approach to them is
controlled by semaphores. On each
track there is a semaphore about a
quarter of a mile from the break,
which gives trains first warning.
When a train comes to this one, it must
wait there until the flag drops and
thus indicates a clear track as far as
the break. Another semaphore stands
opposite the break, and the train must
stop once more for clearance. When
the flag drops this time it signifies a
clear track, with no possibility of an
other train running into it.
“The locks and semaphores are con
trolled from the switch tower, by a
system of levers. So carefully are
those levers arranged, that the wrong
one is always locked and the operator
can make no mistake. For instance,
if there is a clearance on the Mountain
tracks, it becomes impossible to close
the tracks or lower a semaphore on
the Southeastern, and vice versa.
“The operator is governed by orders
from the various train dispatchers.
He has telegraph instruments running
into the tower, which keep him in
formed of the movements of all trains
which will come under his supervis
ion.”
RAILROAD LITIGATION.
Mr. Francis Johnson, counsel for
the Iron Mountain, returned Wednes
day to Little Rock from Corning, Clay
county, where he has been defending
suits against the railroad, says the
Arkansas Democrat.
I
In the case of E. L. Williamson, a
section-hand, who sued for §1,000 dam
ages for the crushing of his big toe on
January 23, 1901, at Marta, near Wal
nut Ridge, judgment was awarded for
§150. He was one of a wrecking crew
at work there, and while walking
along the track by the engine, the
fireman threw out a large clinker,
which struck Williamson on the foot
and crushed his toe.
The case against the Iron Mountain
and the Pacific Express Company, in
which it was sought to make them a
party to the illegal sale of a case of
whisky at Moark, Clay county, was
continued for the term. A peculiar
WA/JA Vv* A V/A AAIAUJA VJ VAVAU VU lli AAJAU VAVUV •
Clay county is “dry.” The last legis
lature made the receipt of a C. O. D.
shipment of liquor in a prohibition
district, and the payment for the same
at the receiving point, an illegal sale.
To avoid this, it is alleged that a St.
Louis house consigned to J. B. Mat
thews at Moark a case of whisky as
through freight, with nothing to des
igpate its character, at the shipper’s
order, sending to Matthews the bill of
lading in an express package. By this
means it was thought to evade the
law, and now an effort is being made
to make the railroad and express com
panies parties to the alleged illegal
sale.

SENATOR DENIES DISPATCH.
Hope, Aug. 13.—Senator James K.
Jones and Mrs. Jones? left last night
for Potash Sulphur Springs.
The Senator in conversation with a
staff representative of the Gazette,
denounced as a “base fabrication”
the dispatch recently sent out from
Washington, announcing that he
would take the stump for Senator
Spooner, and is very anxious to know
whetnerithad its origin in Little Rock
or Washington city.
POP AND PROHI FUSE.
The Populists and Prohibitionists of
Arkansas have fused in effect, although
they deny it. At least the committee
to whom the Populist convention del
gated the nomination of a state ticket
have decided to endorse Mr. Kimball,
gover
nor, and he has accepted the endorse
ment.
BOATING PARTY.
Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Anderson, Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Gregg and Mr. and
Mrs. C. R. Hite formed a launch party
who spent Wednesday evening very
delightfully on White river, enjoying
a spin on the Rowena. The party
took with them a lunch, which con
tributed its quota of pleasure.
GREAVES’ NAME
AS INDEPENDENT.
The name of Charles D. Greaves
will appear on the official ballot in the
September election as an independent
candidate for governor.
The determination to that effect
was reached Wednesday by Secretary
of State John W. Crockett, and in the
certification of the candidates to the
county officers the name of Mr.
Greaves is followed by the word “in
dependent” in script, the blank space
having been left opposite the name
when the blanks were printed two
days ago while awaiting the decision
of Chancellor Martin of the Pulaski
chancery court on the injunction pro
ceedings brought by the regular re
publicans to prevent the secretary
from certifying Mr. Greaves in the
same manner as their candidate, H.
H. Myers. Mr. Crockett announced
to the two factions of the republican
party some time ago that he intended
to certify the two names alike. He
did this, he says, to bring about the
same proceedings which have been
had to have the court interpret the
state election law. Upon the refusal
of the court to act to that effect, on
the ground that it had no jurisdiction
in matters purely political, the de
cision of the question devolved upon
Mr. Crockett alone. He says that he
has been advised by the most eminent
legal authorities of the state, and they
are almost unanimous in the opinion
that the law requires him to certify
only one candidate under the name of
any one political party.
