fore tihe Business of Session
Was Completed.
Fine Bluff, Oct. 27.-When
some of the delegates th the
grand lodge meeting of Odd Fel
lows went to the place of meet
ing this morning in the regular
fourse of the proceedings it was
ound that the grand lodge had
adjourned yesterday afternoon
without completing half the work
set out for the meeting.
This was a surprise to fully
two-thirds of the delegates, and
those who had not already
left for their homes made
straight for the depot with the
expressed intention of getting
out of Pine Bluff and back to
business at home.
The official reporter for the
grand lodge failed to give to any
of the newspapers an account of
the proceedings, but it is learned
from the grand secretary that
the meeting was compelled to
adjourn because the grand lodge
was given notice that the Elks’
theatre must be vacated at once.
This report was made to the
meeting yesterday afternoon,
when but a few of the delegates
were present, and those who
were in attendance were so sur
prised that a motion to adjourn
was put and carried offhand.
The grand lodge did not com
plete half the work set out for

MUSiCAL COTERIE.
The musical coterie met with
Mrs. C. W. Beard Thursday aft
ernoon, which proved to be a
most delightful affair. The
program was short, but the num
bers were well rendered md en
joyed by all present. «■
The first on the program whs a
paper, “The Memory and Influ
ence of Music,” by Mrs. T. E.
Kelley, was simply fine, and was
considered by all present to have
been the best paper ever read in
the coterie.
A soprano duet by Mesdames
C.* E. Crook and G. A. Hillhouse,
from the opera Dr. Syntax,
“Don’t Be So Cruel, Becky
Dear,” was beautifully rendered,
these two well cultivated voices
harmonizing beautifully in this
song so much enjoyed by those
present.
Mrs. T. E. Reamey and Miss
Mae Whitaker, two gifted pian
ists, were added to the coterie
membership, and no doubt will
be valuable additions.
MORROW MARRIED
AUGUSTA GIRL.
Augusta, Get. 27.—Rev. W. H.
Morrow and Miss Emily Macnab
were married at 8:30 o’clock last
night at the Presbyterian church
by Rev. E. C. Bingham of Mari
anna.
Rev. Morrow has been pastor
of this church for nearly two
years and his bride has been a
popular teacher in the public
schools.
The attendants were Robert
Morrow, a Batesville merchant,
and Miss Helen Macnab, a sister
of the bride. The couple left
last night for St. Louis on their
bridal tour.
FATHER-IN-LAW
USES SHOT GUN.
Joe Wright shot and killed his
son-in-law, Will Durham, with a
double-barreled shot gun Wed
nesday evening four miles west
of Harrisburg. The killing took
place at Wright’s home, death
being instantaneous.
The men had not been on good
terms for severeal years and the
trouble which precipitated the
shooting was the location of a
barbed wire fence, where their
farms adjoined.
It is stated by some that Dur
ham had threatened to kill
Wright, and the plea will be self
defense. Durham had a pistol
when killed.
Wright gave himself up to the
officers and will be tried on the
charge of murder. He will be
defended by Prosecuting Attor
ney S. R. Simpson, whose term
expires next week. Mrs. Simp
son is a niece of Wright.
FIRE FIEND BUSY.
Second Big Fire In One Week
At Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, Ark., October 27.
—Hot Springs’ second fire this
week occurred this morning, and
the loss is $30,000. The fire
originated in the grocery store of
J. T. Disdale on South Border
street, crossed the street south
and destroyed the building occu
pied by Harper & Blanden, gro
ceries, and Jesse Harper, furni
ture. North the flames commu
nicated to the rooming house oi
Col. Lee Worthington. All the
buildings destroyed were large
two-story frame structures. Ow
ing to the low water pressure
and lack of fire plugs in this vi
cinity, the firemen were at a dis
advantage and the loss was much
greater on this account.
COL. BACHARACH’S
SILVER JUBILEE.
On Tuesday last, October 18th,
Col. S, Bacharach had been in
the employ of J. D. Goldman,
the St. Louis millionaire, for just
a quarter of a century and the
colonel called it his silver jubilee,
says the Monroe County Sun.
He first went with the firm of
Adler, Goldman & Adler in 1879
at Jacksbnport, where he re
mained until 1884.
From 1884 to 1895 he was with
the firm at Batesville, and from
April 3, 1895, until the present
he has been connected with Gold
man & Co. in this city.
The Colonel is a fine business
man and a clever gentleman, and
has hosts of friends here and
elsewhere throughout the state,
who would be glad to see nim
celebrate “many returns of the
same.”
TOOTHPICK CAUSED DEATH
\ .
Hot Springs, Oct. 27.—R. B.
Carter died last night under pe
culiar circumstances. He swal
lowed a sliver from a wooden
toothpick last evening, which
gave him some trouble at the
time, and notwithstanding he
was advised to go to a physician
and have it removed, he retired
with the splinter sticking in his
throat. About 3 o’clock his wife
discovered that he was choking
to death, and Carter died before
a physician could reach him.
ANOTHER COTTON
GIN DESTROYED.
Word Was received in the city
Friday morning that the large
cotton gin on the Decker farm,
about three miles north of Tuck
erman, was burned to the ground
during the night Thursday. In
addition to the burning of the
gin, about 150 bales of cotton
were also burned.
The Independent was unable
! to learn whether or not any in
i surance was carried on either gin
|or cotton.

STATE BUILDING
SELLS FOR SONG,
Costs $18,500 and Brings $1,25(
From Arkansas Purchaser
on Wednesday.
St. Louis, Oct. 27. —The Ar
kansas building at the world’s
fair was sold yesterday by ths
Arkansas world’s fair commissior
to A. F. Wolfe of Fayetteville,
who will move it to that city im
mediately after the close of the
fair.
The purchase price is $1,250
cash, which is much better than
any amount previously offered.
Another man this week made a
bid of $1,000.
Mr. Wolfe formerly lived at
Paris and taught country schools
in Logan county. Several years
ago he went to Oklahoma, where
he made a strike in the land
booms and then returned to Ar
kansas in comfortable circum
stances.
The building cost $18,500.
HUNG ARIAN ORCHES
TRA’S CONCERT.’
The first of a series of enter
tainments to be given by the
Daughters of the Confederacy
was given Thursday night at the
opera house when the Hungarian
Court orchestra, composed of ten
native Hungarian violinists, who
were all musicians of the highest
standard, appeared.
The program, which was un
usually short, made up in quality
what it lacked in quantity, and
was frequently applauded, espe
cially so when they would unex
pectedly strike up on one of the
airs of the Southland.
The ladies who had the enter
tainment in charge were very
much disappointed at the failure
of the leader, P. K. Matus, to ar
rive at all, he with the trunks
containing all the uniforms hav
ing missed connection up the
road Thursday morning, but this
did not, however, interfere to a
great extent with the evening’s
entertainment.
A full house greeted them and
the ladies of the U. D. C. are to
be congratulated on the success
of their first attempt at a public
entertainment, the proceeds of
which are to go to a worthy
cause.
ROBERTS WILL NOT
DEFEND FRIEND LIGHTLE.
Dr. R. G. Lightle of Searcy ar
rived'fri Little Rock from Perry
ville Thursday morning, says the
Little Rock Democrat. Dr.
Lightle declined to disQuss the
status of his case, which comes
up on an appeal in Janua
ry. He did say, however, that
he would ask for a change of
venue. In granting this request
it is thought that Judge Hutton
will probably send the case to
either Helena, Marianna or For
rest City. Augusta, the only
other court in the circuit, will,
very likely, be excepted by the
defense for the reason that it is
the home of Prosecuting Attor
ney P. R. Andrews. John Rob
erts will not defend him, says
Dr. Lightle, a report to this ef
fect notwithstanding.
RETURNS TO* PRACTICE.
Arthur Neill returned to Little
Rock today frotn his home ir
Batesville. His health is consid
I erably improved and he intends
resuming the practice of his pro
1 fession in that city.
