\ ed. On Sunday evening, how

SITUATION SERIOUS.
Hot Springs, August 18.—The
local insurance men have been
expecting a rush for insurance
policies in the home companies
about the middle of September,
at which lime a great many poli
cies in old line policies will ex
pire. The result of the recent
drastic insurance measure has
been to make the demand for
such insurance as can be secured
very strong and all the agents
here are being tried to their
. wits’ end to place a few dollars
more insurance on the larger
buildings and stocks. The sit
/ nation as already developed is
acute, but will be more so as the
old line policies expire.

THE FEDERAL ELUDING.
Description of the Handsome Structure
vthfdtj is Mow Nearing Comple
tion at Batesville.
1 The handsome federal building
j on Main street just above the
! business part of the city is rapid
ly nearing completion, says the
Batesville Guard. Jt is probable
that by the 1st the postoffiee will
i occupy its splendid new quarters
and that the end of the month
will see the entire building com
pleted.
mu uunumg js ju;.g
55 feet wide and three stories
t high, with basement. It is the
i most expensive building in the
city, having cost $54,681. The
basement and part of the walls
of the first story are built of the
Batesville marble from the Pfeif
fer quarries, being the same stone
as that used in the construction
of the state capitol.
The superstructure is built of
, a superior quality of common
brick made at Gurdon, trimmed
with Batesville marble. All the
windows are of plate glass. The
i plumbing includes pipes for gas
, and wires for electric lighting
! and telephones, the wires being
1 laid in hollow tubes so they may
'be repaired without defacing the
! walls.
The first floor will be devoted
entirely to the postoffice and no
office in the state will have hand
somer quarters. The main room
: is 35 by 53 feet and the postmas
ter’s office is 17 by 20 feet, while
i the money order division will
■occupy quarters 19 by 29 feet.
The postoffice equipment is ample
and of the most modern design.
From the street one enters a
handsome corridor with terrazzo
flnnr anH marhip hasp. Thp cor
1 riders, court room and judge’s
room are finished in oak, the bal
ance of the building in yellow
pine.
The second floor, reached by a
handsome staiiway, contains the
i federal court room, two hand
some rooms for the judge, two
for the district attorney, two for
the clerk and one for the mar
shal. The court room is 27 by 53
' feet, with ceiling 20 feet high.
The third floor has seven rooms,
two of which are to be assigned
! to the use of the juries. The
! other five are as yet unassigned.
The walls of the building are fin
i ished in white plaster as hard as
; stone itself. The construction
and finish of the whole building,
j indeed, is of the very best mate
! rial and workmanship. Thebase
; ment contains a modern heating
i apparatus and toilet rooms for
'the employes, and throughout
the building there are vaults for
the safe keeping of valuable pa
pers. The heating plant is equip
ped with two boilers.
The cost of the building, as
above stated, is $54,681. The
cost of the lot was $8,500; the
heating plant, $3,620; furniture,
$3,818; mail boxes, $1,222, mak
ing the total cost $71,841. There
are other items of cost to be ad
ded to this sum, but after all
these are paid there will be s
small surplus left of the original
appropriation of $80,000 made foi
this building.

Pool Rooms Win.
Little Rock, Aug. 20.— Chan
cellor Hart yesterday morning
rendered a decision in the Ar
genta pool room case, dissolving
the injunction against the opera
tion of the pool room in that city
by Bob Furth and his associates.
Within half an hour circulars
were on the street announcing
the reopening of the place.
The injunction was dissolved
largely on two grounds. One
was that the city of Little Rock
was not a proper party to pray
: volved rights of property holders
and citizens who could speak for
themselves.
The other was that an injunc
tion was not the correct remedy
jfor the lawlessness alleged
I against the pool room proprie
tors. They could be indicted un
der the common law and punish
ed for any proven violation of it.
Sequel !fc Rison Divorce.
Perry ville, Aug. 20. — Senator
Albert W. Rison of this district
plays a leading role in an inter
esting story here. On Wednes
day Chancellor Wallace granted
Richard E. Rison, a brother of
the senator, a divorce from his
wife on statutory grounds. Sen
ator Rison appeared in court and
argued the case for Mrs. Rison.
The testimony was very inter
esting and attracted a great
crowd of the curious. Earlier in
the week indictments against
Senator Rison and his brother’s
wife for alleged violation of the
I marital laws were continued for
the term. Friday the county
clerk issued a marriage license
to Senator Rison and the divorced
wife of his brother, Mrs. Minnie
Rison.
Purse-Snatching Charged.
Hot Springs, Aug. 20. — William
Seawood was arrested last night
charged with purse snatching
on descriptions given by a negro
woman, whose purse was taken
from her on Malvern avenue.
