PROGRESS OF CONSTRUCTION.
Bridge At North Fork Delaying Work
On White River Railroad—Trains
Expected To Reach Buffalo
City By May First.
To those of our readers who are
anxious to know something definite
| of the progress being made on the
White River railroad, we can say that
work is being energetically pushed alb
along tbe line. The bridge at North
Fork, 12 miles below Buffalo City, is
holding back the progress of track
laying for the present, but it is
thought that this important piece of
work will be completed and that
trains will reach Buffalo City by May
1, and that track laying can proceed
right on to Cotter without further de
lay from there, as a large per cent of
the grade between Buffalo City and
Cotter is now ready for the track and
the gaps are being rapidly filled.
There is no doubt but that train serv
i ice to Cotter will be inaugurated as
soon as possible. As fast as the con
tracts on the other side of the river
are completed, the forces will be
transferred across to this side, which
when added to the already strong
forces of Contractors Reynolds and
Hogan, who are now making rapid
headway on the heaviest pieces of
work in the state this side of the
river, the grade will be leveled
through Marion county in short or
der an 1 will doubtless be ready for
the rails before the bridge across
White river at Cotter is completed.—
Yellville Echo.
MSS. MARY L. DAUGHERTY.
Mrs. Mary L. Daugherty, aged 71
years, died at her home on Walnut
street Sunday afternoon about two
o’clock after a sickness of two weeks.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church Monday morn
ing at ten o’clock, conducted by Rev.
J. W. Smith, who paid many beauti
ful tributes to the character of the
deceased. Burial followed at Walnut
Grove cemetery, the pall bearers be
ing Messrs. L. B. Harris, J. E. Wil
mans, O. D. Watson and J. D. Cook
The deceased leaves one daughter,
Mrs. James Eubank and a sister, who
resides in Alabama. She was the
widow of Silas Daugherty, a steam
boat captain on the Mississippi river
i 1 early days, who died fourteen years
ago and was buried at Robinson grave
yard near Jacksonport. Four of her
children were buried in a Memphis
cemetery.
The deceased had lived in Arkansas
for about forty years and was known
as a very religious and charitable wo
rn m, whose loyalty and devotion to
her friends commanded the respect
and esteem of those who knew her.
To the relatives of the deceased is
extended the sympathy of our com
! munity. There is also for them the
consolation of knowing that the
Master has called home to rest a faith
ful servant, who for years bad borne
the trials and afflictions of ill-health
with Christian fortitude and patience,
trustful to the end.
WAR ON POWELL CLAYTON.
Eureka Springs, Ark., April 5.—The
overshadowing issue in the conipaign
here this spring is the effort to retire
the six Republican water and sewer
commissioners, of whom Gen. Powell
Clayton is one. These commissioners
have held office continuously twelve
years and much dissatisfaction has
grown out of charges of alleged ir
regularities developed by an investi
gation recently instituted. In order
to force the retirement of the commis
sioners, who refused to resign, a bill
introduced by Representative Fuller
and passed by the present legislature
declares the offices vacant and fixes
a heavy penalty upon the eommis
s oners for failure to vacate. Last
night the five members here tendered
their resignation in compliance with
the law, effective May 14, but what
action will be taken by Gen. Clayton
is not known. He is expected home
in a few days. The law does not pro
vide against reappointment, and to
prevent this it will require the elec
tion of mayor and every alderman on
the Democratic ticket. The contest
wages warm and the campaign is the
most interesting in the history of Eu
reka Springs.
NEGRO SHOT AT AUGUSTA.
Augusta, April 5.—Foster Crutcher
shot and instantly killed Toney Boone
here yesterday evening.
Boone was considered a bad negro,
having cut at several persons, and
was advancing on Crutcher when
shot. Crutcher escaped.

STREET WORK UOR PRISONERS.
A number of trifling characters, ad
dicted to drunkenness, who have dis
turbed the peace without fear of ar
rest, being unable to pay fines and
knowing that the city had nothing to
gain by locking them up and paying
the costs of incarceration, had bettor
take warning from the examples now
being made of two negroes, who have
been placed under charge of J. S.
Hill and compelled to work out fines
imposed for disorderly conduct. Now
that the weather permits such work,
the law will be enforced against many
of those vagrants guilty of petty mis
demeanors.
