' APPLICATION FOR CHARTER.
Taylor Burns of Black Rock Seeks
Charter For Arkansas And North
ern Railroad An Independent
Line.
The state railroad board was to hold
a meeting Tuesday morning to pass
upon the application for charter of
the Arkansas and Northern Railroad,
to run from Pocahontas to Newport
by way of Powhatan and Black Rock.
C. T. Burns, a well-known attorney of
the latter place, who is secretary and
treasurer of the road, was in Little
Rock Monday, says tCTe Gazette, to
present the papers at the secretary of
state’s office for filing. The new road
will be seventy-five miles in length:
The capitalization is $1,000,000. At
present the road is entirely independ
ent, according to Mr. Burns. St. Louis
and Chicago capital are interested in
it, however. The officers will be Dr.
J. H. Myers, president, of Black Rock,
well known as a pearl buyer; R. R.
McCreery, vice-president, and Mr.
Burns, secretary and treasurer. M.
D. Wilson of Missouri is also interest
ed in the road as one of the incorpo
rators. The road is to run west of
the Black river, in a country which
now has no railroad. It will skirt the
foothills along the river valley, one
of the finest in agricultural develop
ment in the state, and then run
through the mining country, which
begins two miles on this side of Black
Rock. It will come very close to the
southeastern corner of Sharp county
to Newark, crossing the Black river
at Jacksonport, and thence to New
.. . . i. mt. : . : ^.1.. - -1 * _ 1 1 1.1

preliminary survey, which is subject
to change. Besides opening up val
uable tributary territory the line will
form a connection with the Frisco and
the Rock Island, and it is deemed
probable that at some time, before or
after its completion, it will be pur
chased by one of these systems.
According to Mr. Burns it is entire
ly probable that the Frisco, which
now owns the Memphis, Kansas City
and Fort Scott, may come down four
teen miles from Pocahontas with its
newly purchased Erb load and cross
the Black river at Black Rock. The
bridge at Pocahontas is not strong
enough to accommodate large engines
and it would require $50,001) expendi
ture to put it in proper condition. By
the construction of the fourteen-mile
branch a new and valuable territory
on the west side of the river would be
acquired. The bridge at Black Rock
would cost about $75,000.
Mr. Burns says that at present it is
not the intention of his company to
enter Missouri, though they have an
eye on that territory, and may go
there at some time in the future.
BUTTON FACTORY
SEEKS LOCATION.
W. S. Clark and E. B. Becker of the
Standard Button Company of Erie,
Pa., were in Little Rock Sunday, stop
ping over for the purpose of inquiring
if the Board of Trade would offer in
ducements for the location of a button
factory in that city. The proposed
plant would operate forty'-eight saws
and desires site and frame building
donated.
Geo. R. Brown, secretary of the
Little Rock board of trade, in speak
ing of the request for a bonus, gives
expression to the following sensible
views: “In my opinion the giving of
a bonus to small plants of this kind,
especially when owned by wealthy
concerns sue 1 as the Standard Button
Company, should not be entertained,
rt would be different if the Standard
would move its Erie plant here and
turn out the finished button, and it
would find its market at St. Louis, for
the gentlemen stated that St. Louis
was a better customer for its product
than New York City. And besides all
this they are to get their shells from
the Arkansas river. There is no truth
in the report that the Arkansas river
shells are not suitable. On the con
trary, this very company had a sack
full gathered near the end of the free
bridge, shipped them to the Erie fac
tory, and found them all that could be
desired. This plant, if it locates here,
would employ men at the saws and
women and girls in the other depart
ments. All industrial people will find
a hearty welcome in Little Rock, but
particularly those that will turn out
raw materials into the finished pro
duct. We want button factories, and
not factories to make the blanks from
which buttons are made; we want
wagon factories and not plants that
make wagon material to be shipped
north, and so on dowm the line.”

TRUE STORY OF BEAR HUNT.
Silver Bill Makes Acquaintance Of
Newport Hunting Party And Re
lates Some Incidents Of
Camp Life.
A party of gentlemen from New port,
who are camping on Fifteen Mile
Bayou, invited ’Squire Thomas to din
ner one day this week. He went.
The next morning about 4 o’clock he
came in, and after trying about fifteen
minutes to get the gate open, finally
broke it down, rushed into the house,
fell over three chairs, broke two
lamps, knocked down the stove, killed
the cat, and at last caught the bed as
it flew past and turned in with his
boots on. We have been anxious to
learn what he ate(?)
G. H. Hillhouse, A. Ferguson, S. M.
Stuckey and C. R. Hite comprising
the Anania^ club of New’port, had a
lively experience with a bear on Fif
teen Mile Bayou. Stuckey and Hite
were skirting a dense canebrake when
they discovered an old bear and two
cubs, that were making a scurry for
cover. Stuckey gave chase and ran
one of the cubs into an old hollow log,
and, of course, being a small man, he
crawled into the log and captured the
cub alive. Hite followed the old bear
and the other cub. Stuckey dragged
his bear into the open and tied it to a
tree. The cries of baby bear brought
the old mother to the scene, and you
can guess there was “something do
in’.” She rushed upon Stuckey who
“shinned” up a small persimmon tree,
and just as he thought himself out of
harm’s reach, the bear caught him by
the foot and pulled him down, me
captain yelled, and he yelled wisely
and well. His cries for help brought
Hillhouse and Ferguson to the rescue.
Ferguson by one well aimed shot
brought the old bear down, but upon
rushing up to where she fell, was sur
prised when the brute reared upon
her hind feet and with a powerful
slap, knocked his gun out of hand and
he fell limp to the ground. Before
the dying bear could inflict any seri
ous injuries, however, Hillhouse
rushed in and finished her with his
hunting knife. W. S. Thomas brought
the body of the dead bear, and Stuck
ey’s cub into Democrat where the old
bear was skinned. The bear’s skin
will decorate the rooms of the club in
the future. They boys are very proud
of their trophy, and will go home hap
py to tell their friends of the thrilling
adventure in which it was taken.—
Silver Bill, Democrat correspondent
of Forrest City Times.
THOMAS ALSO EXONERATED.
Benton, Ark., Dec. 1.—“The changes
against Rev. James Thomas of Little
Rock were disposed of Saturday night
in a unanimous verdict of not guilty
by the trial committee. Considerable
excitement was manifested among
the preachers when it was announced
that Rev. W. E. Thompson of Little
Rock had lodged complaints of im
morality against Rev. Thomas. By
far the most serious of these com
plaints was that Thomas was passing
under an assumed name. When the
investigating committee began its
work letters from Bishop O. P. Fitz
gerald were received in evidence
which entirely eliminated this charge,
but the committee reported a trial
necessarv on other comDlaints. and
Bishop Hos8 appointed a trial com
mittee consisting of nine traveling
elders. When this committee came
into possession of the charges and
specifications they found them to con
sist of mere matters of memory
arising from a difference between
Revs. Thompson, Casog and Tnomas
relative to the removal of Dr. J. H.
Riggin from the presiding eldership
of the Little Rock district and putting
Dr. J. H. Dye in his place. Thomas
opposed putting Dye in the district,
and thus arose the difference.”

TO OCCUPY NEW PURCHASE. .Jj
The new convict farm in Lincoln
county will be occupied by the con
victs about January 1. It was under- 59
stood at the time of the purchase by _ Cl
the penitentiary board that the pres
ent tenants should vacate on the first 9
of the year. Definite details will be
arranged at the next meeting of the
penitentiary board early this month.
Superintendent Reese Hogins will
have entire charge of the arrange
ments and execution of the directions
of the board. The convicts wiW be
oared for just as they are on the state,
farms over the state at present. One
or two of these camps, and probably
all, maybe given up, and the entire
convict force of the state outside the
Dickinson contract, moved there.
Prisoners may also be sent from the
penitentiary in Little Rock. Active
preparations will begin immediately
after the occupation of the farm for
next year’s crop.
MINSTRELS WERE FAIR.
Richards & Pimgle’s Georgia Min
strels drew a well packed house Mon
day night, the whole gallery being
reserved for the negroes. The show
given is accorded praise by most of
those present and was decidedly bet
ter than when here before.
Billy Kersands is quite like the band
with which he is traveling—all wind
and doesn’t stack up very high with a
Newport audience. The band was
composed of about twenty pieces
and if the members could be
satisfied with a little less volume, they
would get far more music out of their
selections.
