DAVIS DENIES DEENER PARDON, j
Little Rock, Oct. 28.—The pardon j
application of Rev. R. S. Deener, the
former Methodist minister, who:
pleaded guilty at Batesville last month
to embezzlement and was given a four j
years’ term in the penitentiary, was
passed upon Monday by Gov. Davis, j
who refused to grant the prayer of j
the petitioners, of whom there were a
large number of good citizens asking
for executive clemency.
BACKING ERB ROAD.
The statement is made on good au
thority says the Arkansas Democrat,
that one Boston man alone has $12,
000,000 interest in the St. Louis, Mem
phis & Southeastern Railroad, the
system of roads which Newman Erb
is evolving out of the little Cape Gir
ardeau line he bought a few years
ago. His surveyors are now at work
in Louisiana, and it is stated that the
line will be built south to that state
from Hoxie without fail. If Little
Rock wants it the people will have to
put up a bonus to get it.
SHOT WHILE HUNTING.
Ozark, Oct., 28.—News reached
here this morning of the accidental
killing of John Dickerson of Lime
stone township, this county. Dicker
son left his home early last Friday,
taking with him his shotgun, and did
not return home that day or night.
Saturday a party went to hunt him,
and at 3:30 found him dead by a small
bush, with his head almost shot off, a
mile from his home. One ball entered
the neck and ranged upward, coming
out above the left ear. He was a
good citizen and leaves his wife and
five children. It is the opinion of
neighbors that the killing was acci
dental.
Capt. W. A. Joyce is fearful of losing
his finger injured in the assault upon
him, made by William Cox. The
bon6 of the finger was fractured and
the member is not healing properly.
ARGUMENT IN BIG SUIT.
The argument in the suit of the New
York bondholders against the Little
Rock & Fort Smith Railroad for the
payment of an alleged indebtedness
of $1,000,000 was begun in the Supreme
Court at Little Rock Monday morn
ing. Each side will be given eight
hours in which to address the court.
The argument will consume four days.
Judge John McClure, of this city,
opened the case Monday in a
speech of two hours for the plaintiffs.
Tuesday morning, the time was oc
cupied by ex-Governor James F.
Clarke, speaking for the plaintiffs. He
argued in extenso that the railroad
company, the beneficiary of the bond
proceeds, is liable for their payment
and that the bonds are, like taxes, a
lien upon the railroad company’s
property.
That afternoon Judge John F. Dil
lon of New York, chief counsel for
the Gould Railway system, argued for
the railroad side of the controversy.
Members of the bar constituted the
greater portion of the distinguished
audience. Judge Dillon, though well
advanced in age, possesses a good
voice and an easy delivery. In his
opening remarks he paid a high com
pliment to ex-Governor Clarke, de
claring that the argument made by
the latter on the opposite side was
able and fair.
Judire Dillon arerued that the state
was the only debtor on the bonds,
which were issued under the act of
1868 to aid in the building of the Fort
Smith road. The debt of the state, he
declared, was the only debt expressed
on their face; they carried on then
face no obligation on the part of the
railroad company to the holders. The
world understood, he said, that when
parties take the obligation and pro
mise of a government they get noth
ing else. Judge Dillon declared the
pending suit is an exact duplication
in pleadings and proof of the Tomp
kins case, reported in the thirty-first
Arkansas.
Two more distinguisned lawyers are
to be heard in the famous suit. They
are Alex G. Cochran for the defend
ants and John R. Dos Passos for the
plaintiffs. They will probably take up
all of today and the argument will
then have been closed.
GRAND LODGE OF ODD FELLOWS.

county leads with fifteen.
A public reception by citizens was
given tonight and filled the large hall

are the most elaborate ever seen
here. The visitors are delighted with
the treatment accorded them. Elec
tion of grand lodge officers will prob
ably take place tomorrow.
MURDERER’S RECORD.
I
Forrest City,|Oct., 28.—According
to the Marianna Courier, Charley
Young, who was burned at the stake
here last Monday night, is the same
fiend who brutally murdered his step
mother ten or twelve years ago. Ow
ing to a difference in the division of
the estate, Young walked in on the
woman lying on a sick bed and shot
her brains out with a winchester. V.
M. Harrington was then sheriff of the
county and chased the murderer into
Mississippi, where he lost all trace of
him. Young returned to the neigh
borhood where he committed his last
crime about two years ago and has
been living there since.
THE CIRCUS AND NELSONS.
Those who know say that every act
of the Great Wallace Show, which vis
its this city on Tuesday Nov. 4, is an
extraordinary one, and that there is
nothing common or cheap about the
whole show.
Every number on the program is a
feature, but great stress is laid upon
the Nelson family, as the amusement
caterers of the world consider this
groupe of premier acrobats to be the
finest ever known. Their act is in
describable. For twenty minutes they
are busy every second giving a con
tinuous performance of a hundred of
most intricate and difficult feats ever
accomplished, and it is all done with
such a rush that alight-headed person
may become dizzy with watching
them.
For three years B. E. Wallace has
had a bona fide cash deposit of -$10,000
posted to back his challenge to the
world to produce any act equal to
that of these justly celebrated acro
bats. The Nelson family act is truly
a phenomenal one, and they are with
out superiors. From the broad-shoul
dered, sturdy grandfather down to the
five-year-old tiny, curly-headed
grand-daughter, they are all natural
adepts in acrobatic work. The female
members seem to be the hardest work
ers and best artists and get the most
applause, with the exception of the
little tot, who is brought from the
dressing tent in a “carpet bag.”
MALONE WILL HANG.
Van Buren, Oct., 28.—Sheriff Pit
cock has received instructions from
Gov. Davis to come to Little Rock,
get Hall Malone, the negro fiend, and .
hang him according to sentence of
the court. The execution will be
public and the second of the kind in
the state for several years.
