No Gambling In Arkansas.

After a spirited contest the house of representatives of Arkansas has refused to reconsider the vote by which it passed the c senate bill for the suppression of gambling. The bill imposes a fine of SSOO to SI,OOO for gaming, half of the fine to go to the informant and half to the common school fund. During the debate on the bill, Representative 1 J. W. Clack of Yell county caused a sensation by declaring he could have received S2OO if he would vote against the bill. Advocates of the bill contend it will be a death blow to gambling in that state.
