t WELCOME COLD WEATHER.
I —r . I
Railroad And Quarantine Officials Glad
To Have Cold .Weather.
ML t |
g?
I Major General Haynes esti
mates that the quarantine of the
state has cost about $40,000, and
it is expected that all such ac
counts will soon be paid when
they are properly compiled by
k Major Jett, as there is money in
\ the treasury for this purpose.
The cold weather and prospect
of the discontinuance of the
quarantine are welcomed by the
guardsmen and officers on duty.
Railroad men, both high and
low, share the feeling. For sev
eral weeks business has been i
injured greatly by the rigid
quarantines which have been
necessary to prevent the spread j
of the contagion. At Memphis,
perhaps, the most rigid quaran
tines have been in force. This
has resulted in the discontinu
ance of two of the Southern’s;
most important trains to the
East, and as the Southern is the j
most direct route to the East
from this section of the country
the traveling public has been
discommoded to a considerable
extent.
It is believed that a very few
days of the present weather will
result in the raising of the quar
antine at that point, and when
this is done it is believed that the
conditions to the south of Little!
Rock vcill also be relieved.
An tVio Trnn Mountain south a
'■ number of trains have been taken
off for the simple reason that the
> regulations which the state board
of health has deemed it neces
sary for the proper protection of j
the people of the state has made (
it impracticable for the company j
to operate through trains. With
the relaxing of the regulations,
the company, it is understood,
will put on the regular trains1
again, and that they will be op
erated upon the regular schedule
as before the outbreak of the yel
low fever.
Hub Factory For Batesville.
Mr. Jones, representative of
the Renter Hub and Spoke Com
pany, says the Batesville Guard,
who has been in this section for
some time purchasing timber
and otherwise representing the
company, left for Dexter, Mo.,;
Tuesday in response to a tele
gram calling him in for a meet-;
ing of the directors of the com-,
pany, at which it is intended toj
perfect the arrangements for the
removal of one of the plants of
the concern to this city.
Only One Road Responded.
But one railroad in the state
has thus far complied with the
request of the state railroad com-,
mission for a list of passes issued
during the year, and that is a
short line. The names of no
state officials appear on the list. |
The commission has not an
nou'ced what steps it will take;
{'to force the other roads to com
ply with its order. The 11th
inst. was the date fixed for the
filing of these lists.

SEEK SYNODICAL SCHOOL.
Number of Arkansas Cities Offer Propo
sitions for Location of Presby
terian School.
Arkadelphia, Oct. 20. —Propo
sitions relating to the location of
the proposed female college were
heard yesterday by the synod of
Arkansas, practically all of the
afternoon session being devoted
to that question. Some very in
viting offers were presented to
the synod.
Searcy offered the Searcy Fe
male Institute as the basis for a
stock company.
Little Rock offered to buy and
turn over to the synod the Mad
dox Female Seminary with con
ditions.
Arkadelphia made a straight
cash offer of about $26,000 and
no conditions attached.
Malvern and Eureka Springs
also made interesting proposi
tions.
This matter was still under
discussion when the hour of ad
journment arrived, and the ques
tion was not decided.
The synod met last night in the
Baptist church and heard an aid
dress by Rev. W. H. Sheppard,
D. D., F. R. G. S., colored mis
sionary to Africa. This, the
largest house in the city, would
not hold the. congregation. The
speaker was listened to with
great interest for more than two
hours.
Unknown Man Killed.
Jonesboro, Oct. 20.—Train No.
1 on the Qotton Belt, due here
at 8:30, was late today and from
the passengers and train crew it
was learned that this morning
about a half mile above Brook
land, ten miles north of here,
they killed a man. He was walk
ing on the track, and before the
engineer could see him it was
impossible to stop the engine.
The man was seen by some ladies
and they called to him, but he
paid no attention to them and in
a few seconds he was struck by
the engine, and killed instantly.
He was either deaf or intended
to commit suicide. He was un
known, and up to this time he
has not been identified. He was
a man of apparently about 45
years of age. and was dressed in
laboring clothes. He had a
sandy mustache, and has noth
ing on his person by which he
could be identified.

ROGERS AT BENIONVULE.
Attorney General Makes Speech Befot.:
Audience of More Than Five
Thousand People.
Bentonville, Oct. 20.— Attor
ney General Robert L. Roi
i spoke to over five thousand . . -
| pie here yesterday. Mr. Rr
made an eloquent address, din
ing which he scored panics
whom he accused of endeavoring
to besmirch his character by
means of circulars and addresses
accusing him of being in with
the boodlers and the “Little
Rock ring.” He spoke for some
ime in regard to the schools,
and advocated an annex to the
State University which would
teach the youth of Arkansas the
essentials of manufacturing. He
also spoke of the penitentiary
and other public institutions. He
devoted some time to Gov. Davis’
attacks in regard to the Cook
note, explaining it thoroughly,
saying he did borrow the money
from the bank, and that Cook
went on his note. He also said
if he had to borrow money again
he would rather borrow it with
Cook on his note than to get it
the way Young and others say
Gov. Davis got h's.
The most eager attention was
shown Mr. Rogers, and he was
frequently applauded.
New Railroad for Pine Bluff.
Pine Bluff, Oct. 20 — A meeting
of the Pine Bluff N rlh and South
railroad company was b<dd y
terday, and it was decided to be
gin the work-of constructing the
railroad from Pine Bluff to some
point on the Rock Island as soon
i as circumstances will permit. An
experienced engineer, who is
well known in Arkansas, having
constructed several railroads and
, bridges in the state, who has
been in correspondence with the
promoters of the road for some
time, will probably arrive at once
to begin work. Other matters
concerning the construction of
this road were discussed by the
directors, and it is now certain
that actual work will soon begin.
The citizens are anxiously await
ing the time when connection
with the Rock Island can be se
cured.
