GROSSER HELD FOR TRIAL.
George Grosser, Jr., of Newark,
was given a preliminary hearing Fri
day before Justice L. B. Harris, and
as a result was committed to jail to
await the finding of the next grand
jury in default of 8500 bond.
Grosser is a young man of about
twenty-two years of age, who is said
to belong to a highly respected family
of Newark. He is accused of robbing
Charles Sharkey of his gold watch
last Wednesday and as the stolen
article was found upon his person,
the proof is rather convincing.
While pretending to be examining a
button on Sharkey’s coat in R. T.
Simmons’, Grosser is accused of steal
ing the former’s watch valued at
$52.50 and a couple of bottles of med
icine. Grosser was arrested by Sheriff
Bandy and Deputy Lockard Bandy on
the walkway leading to the rough dis
trict across the railroad track.
He at first denied the theft, but
Charles Draper was found by the
sheriff and the latter alleged that
Grosser had confessed to him his
theft and hidden the watch in his
sock.
Sheriff Bandy returned to the jail
and upon informing Grosser that he
was to be stripped and searched, the
prisoner weakened and produced the
watch, which was returned to its
rightful owner.
ARKANSAS THIRD
IN NEW MILEAGE.
A careful preliminary estimate
made by individual canvass of the
railroads, and supplemented by the
Railroad Gazette’s own record, figures
furnished by the state railroad com
missions and other sources of infor
mation, shows that approximately
6,028 miles of new steam railroad have
been built within the United States
between January and December 31,
1902. The figures are exclusive of
second track, sidings and all electric
hues. Rebuilt mileage is also exclud
ed except where the work involved
such extensive changes in alignment
chat a new route was established, as
in the case of the Southern Pacific
between certain points in Nevada.
Railroad building was reported done
in forty-two states and territories,
and Oklahoma leads the list with track
laid on 570 miles of new line during
the year. Texas comes second, with
496 miles; Arkansas is third, with 371
miles, and Indian Territory is fourth,
with 363 miles. Georgia built 386
miles during the year.
Iu addition to these, Illinois, Iowa,
iVJUOBUUH ttilU J.'IOW tjUUW io*
turns of over 2C0 miles built, and Ala
bama, California, Florida, Louisiana,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and
West Virginia built between 100 and
200 miles.

LOWER WHITE OVERFLOW.
Des Arc, Dec. 26.—The streams in
i this section have been very high of
late. The 'water at Bayou Des Arc
reaches about half way up the tele
phone poles by the bridge. In
many places the water has gone
out in the bottoms. The pearl
hunters are perched on the high
places on the opposite bank and
some on this side have been com
pelled to move upon the level of the
town. The surface of the river the
past few days has been covered with
drifts of all kinds, endangering booms,
small boats and ferry wires. With
clear weather the water will begin to
recede soon, however.

MASQUERADE ball.
Kinman Horae Thrown Open to Young
People in Masque Friday Eve
ning-Many Striking Costumes
Worn—Danced Until
Late Hour.
The delights of a masquerade party
were enjoyed to their fullest extent
Friday evening by a large party of
young people, who assembled at the
home of Miss Noreene Kinman under
every disguise imaginable. Many of
the costumes had been secured from
the city houses, which deal in such
furnishings and the others did not suf
fer in comparison.
The company included eminent per
sonages as well as grotesque and
amusing individuals, who had not
walked in the halls of Fame. From
the laborer in jeans and blue shirt to
representatives of the nobility, from
the ruler of Hades to the Greek god
dess, from the bats of this world to
the angel child of the next, from the
colonial dame to the Twentieth Cen
tury maid, ages, nationalities, indi
viduals and themeB were revived or
anticipated in appropriate costume.
A masque hides a multitude of char
acteristics and it was indeed a study
to ascertain the identity of the differ
ent ones, who moped about fearing to
speak lest they betray themselves
through a voiee not easily disguised.
Music was furnished by a colored
orchestra and dancing was enjoyed
until eleven o’clock before the mas
ques were ordered removed. Every
one seemed to be in the best of humor
and the success of the whole affair is
plainly written in the late hour to
which dancing was enjoyed.
Light refreshments of sandwiches,
pickles and coffee were nicely served
and the company included a large
number of those who looked on and
found an equal pleasure in the event
with the maskers.
The make-ups were all excellent,
too much so to impartially specialize
one above another. Originality and
cleverness were demonstrated in the
costumes of this motley company,
where hobo mixed with lord. The
fun occasioned by effort to distinguish
friends beneath the masque will long
make this event a happy rememb
rance.
Following are the names of the
young ladies in masque, together with
the idea or character represent

rine girl; Josie Phillips, peasant
girl; Hilda Bailey, colonial dame;

Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Crook invited a 4
small number of friends to tbeir home
upon Friday evening to a puzzle party
in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Champ
Simpson, the latter a sister of the
hostess, both of whom have been
very cordially received by Newport
people and are even now the posses
sors of many friends here.
The interior of the home presented
an attractive appearance with decor
ations of mistletoe, holly and red
berries, that had been arranged with
an eye of taste.
Mr. and Mrs. Crook receive with
ease and grace and always have some
thing planned to delight their com
pany with such hospitality as they
find within this home.
Aside from a puzzle contest in which
cards were handed to each guest to
solve, the company were treated to
some excellent music. Both Mrs.
Crook and Mrs. Simpson sang and
those present go into raptures in re
ferring to the voice of the latter, this
being the first time her singing has
been heard here'.
Toothsome refreshments of sand
wiches, chicken salad, olives, coffee,
salted nuts and fruits were daintily
served and the punch bowl too must
not be forgotten, presided over by
MisseH Lucy Brandenburg and Mabel
Stayton.
