f The work of reducing Crow
ley’s Ridge on the Memphis Short
Line of the Iron Mountain has
begun in- earnest. Monday the
telegraph department cut in an
office at this place, says the Lit
tle Rock Democrat, in order that
the operators can keep in close
touch with the management.
Crowley’s Ridge has been an
eyesore to the officials and some
time ago it was determined to j
cut it down. The telegraph poles j
were removed from the cut pre- j
paratory to the work ot the steam
shovel, but for some reason best
known to the management, the
work was postponed, and finally
practically abandoned.
This work will bring the Mem
phis Short Line to a standard
grade of sixteenths of one per
cent, a great saving over the
present grade. The present grade
• is one per cent, which makes it j
necessary either to double the
p. hill as it is called, or to use a
helper engine, as is the custom j
in freight trains leaving union
station in Little Rock. With the
cutting down of the hill, trains \
can proceed to Memphis from
Little Rock without the great de- j
lay incident to this extra work ,
at Crowley’s Ridge.
BEGIN WORK AT COTTER.
Announcement is made that
the engineers of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain will arrive
at Cotter one day this week to
lay out the site for the round
house and shops. At the same
time it is stated the passenger
station will be definitely located.
Since the bad weather there has ;
been little done at Cotter in the
way of completing the terminals.
«
The steam shovel which has beer
engaged in taking gravel frorr
the pit in the edge of White riv
er at Cotter for the ballasting oi
the track, will be removed to Or
egon Flats this week to be usee
in the work there. It is the in
tention of the company to com
plete the White river line bj
August 1, and to this end work
will be pushed on the extension
to the north from Cotter.
HEAVY RAILS ON HELENA BRANCH.
For several weeks a gang oi
men has been at work on the
Helena branch of the Iron Moun
tain replacing the old rails with
new 90-pound steel rails. The
work has now been completed
from Knobel to Wynne and the
steel train started out from
Wynne Monday distributing the
heavy rails along the line to the
south from Wynne. This work
is in preparation for through
trains and heavy traffic between
St. Louis and New Orleans as
soon as the Memphis, Helena
& Louisiana is completed.
SPEEDY TRIALS FOR
ANTI-TRUST SUITS.

i mined in May.
Little Rock, March 28,—The
*%i-trust suits against the Hart
^rd and the German Alliance
msurance companies, filed yes
terday afternoon in the second
division of the Pulaski circuit
eourt, have not yet been set, but
it is expected that they will be
set for an early hearing.
The defendants may waive the
twenty days provided to answer
or demur and consent to a speedy
trial. It is expected that the
suits will be appealed without
delay and advanced in the su
preme court as affecting public
interest, so that a final determi
nation may be had early in May.
L. B. Leigh & Co., agents for
the German Alliance, announce
that they did business for the
company only on Saturday and
will write no more, their only
purpose being to violate the law.
On the other hand, the Hart
ford is writing all the business
that is offered and Attorney
General Rogers and co-counsel
announce t hat a suit will be filed
against the company daily sc

ance yesterday are identical, ex
cept that in the one against the
Hartford the phrase “made else

tion of the “trusts, pools, com

act. These two suits will, there
fore, raise all the issues in the
controversy, including that oi

STEWART TO SUCCEED
CULPEPPER AS CHIEF.
Pine Bluff Mayor Will Appoint
New Man to Succeed Officer

Pine Bluff, March 28. —A. J.
Stewart will be the next chief of
police of Pine Bluff, and will en
ter upon the duties of the office
after the election in April and
his qualification before the city
council.
This announcement was made
this morning by Mayor H. King
I White, with whom the appoint
j ment lies, and Mr. Stewart also
I authorizes the publication of the
, appointment.
The question as to whom the
mayor would appoint as chief of
police upon entering his second
term as mayor has been one that
has met with much discussion
and many guesses.
Mr. Stewart will succeed J. F.
Culpepper, who has served for
the past two years. Since the
time Mayor White and Mr. Cul
pepper had their first disagree
,_--—~ i
mviit uyvi h j V-C4X ugv anu •
Culpepper was removed from
office twice upon reasons stated
by the mayor, it has been sur
mised by many that he would
not again be an applicant for the
position in case Mayor White re
ceived the Democratic nomina
1 tion.
Culpepper’s term of office has
; been a stormy one, but at the
j same time he has given entire
! satisfaction in the office,and even
|
the mayor has been heard tocom
j pliment him. His removal from;
office was upon technical grounds.
! which were fully stated at the
time.
The council refused at the
time to uphold the mayor, and
after a long suit in the courts,
the matter going from the lower
courts to the supreme court to be
finally passed upon, Mr. Culpep
per was declared to legally hold
the office for the full term of his
appointment.
