RAILROAD RATTLE.

OWING to the recent coal strike in
England the Great Eastern railway is
fitting mp twenty-five locomotives with
liquid fuel apparatus to burn crude
oil or tar.
A CONTRACT has been entered into by
IN American corporation for the build
ing of n railway through the Jordan
valley along the Sea of Galilee to
Damascus.
THE speed of the fastest railway
train is only little more than one
half the velocity of the golden eagles
flight, the bird having been known to
make one hundred and forty miles per
hour.
A MAN who is in situation to speak
from the card says that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad com nny burns over
twelve thousand tons If coal day
between Pittsburgh and Jersey City,
at cost considerably over forty thou
sand dollars. This is for making steam
only, and docs not include the coal
used for heating, running, pumping
engines, elevators, air comprcssors
and electric light generators, or for the
many tugs and ferryboats employed by
this line.

1T is said that there is little question
but that the Edison incandcscent lamp
United States patent will expire with
the Canadian one on November TO- 1894.
IT is found by actual work that cleo
tricity for lighting and power purposes
can be produced by gas engines at
much lower cost than by the medium
of steam.
THE Pennsylvania legislature, at it's
recent session, passed new corpora
ton act, which, it now appears, pre-
vents the incorporation of electric light
companies.
THE Bell Telephone company of Mon
treal, Can, supplies telephone service
for S25 year to residents and $40 per
year to business houses. 1t has an un-
foreground conduit system, and pays
the city five per cent. of it's gross
profits.
SUCCESS attended the first trial of
electric trolley propulsion for boats on
the Erie canal few days ago. and
Gov. Flower favors the application Of
the system to the entire canal by the
state. 1t is claimed that it's cost is only
half that of steam.
THE London Electrical Review of
October 81, in an article on thunder
storms, states that the electric charge
is due to the friction between two cur
rents of air which differ in tempera-
ture, or in hygrometric condition. It
describes in detail observations of a
storm recently made, which tend to
prove the eXpla pation offered.

Their Cases Nolle prossed.

Our people will remember tn at about two years ago MT. J. H. Humphrey was secretary and trcas- urer of the Pine Bluff Water & Light
 Company and was removed. Shortly
 all kinds of rumors were current on the streets of the city to the effect
 that he had embedded a large sum of money from the company. Alta sub sequent session of the Jefferson
 county grand jury that body found five indictments against him, alleg- ing the embezzlement of small sum. Since that time MT. Humphrey has used every effort in his power to have his cases brought to 8 trial, so that he could either stand before our peo- pie as an honest man, free from the terrible charges, or be convicted and punished for the crime which his ae- cusers alleged that he had com mitted. The Water & Light Com pany in every instance evaded a trial, and the cases against MT. Humphrey have been postponed session after At the last session of the Jefferson l Circuit court these cases were again continued and Mr. Humphrey was released on his own reconnaissance, and it was then whispered among some of his traducers that he would disappear and never be heard of in Pine Bluff again. Time has prov en this to be false, for after spending q
 term, abroad he returned here with
 the expressed intention to have d
 trial under the charges for which he
 was indicted, and have his name cleared Of the odious stain which had rested on it for over two years. His
 accusers having no case against him and no evidence to show that he was
 a guilty man, agassb failed to appear
 when the case was called for a hear ing yesterday, and the Prosecuting Attorney very properly entered a
 nolle prosequi in each one. Mir Hum
 phrey will enter a suit against tho Water X Light Company for dam
 ages at an early date. Mr. Tracey
 the man who made the charges
 against MT. Humphrey for the Water
 < Light Co. is no longer with that corporation. From the facts as tht
 GRAPHIC reporter learns them, il
 seems that Mir. Humphrey has beer
 persccuted ny the company by whicl ] he was formerly employed, and i

Felix Morris in a Double Bnl.

The simple announcement of the coming on Thursday next to the Opera-honse of so great an artist as Felix Morris, is an occasion of rare importance to our theater-goers and the most critical taste. Mr. Morris will be seen in Pine Bluff for the first time. Elsewhere this great player is adored and almost loved for his mag nificent creations in character and comedy. There is no one just like Felix Morris. The man is a scholar, thinker and q worker. His meth ods are original, and in all he does the hand of the master is strongly apparent. There is hardly any one on the stage today who can display portrait gallery of so many living, preaching and perfect characteriza- tions as can Felix Morris.
 Mr. Morris may be best recalled as the associate star with the late Ro- sana Vokes. This is his second an nual American tour, and the initial performance will be marked by the presentation of two plays, broad in contrast and interest and probably among the best of the repertoire be- ing Game ofCards' in one act, fol lowed by Behind the Scenes' high farcical comedy, full of bright lines well drawn characters, humorous situations and novel stage settings through three acts. The cast, and entirity of production throughout will be the same as in all the largest cities throughout the country.

drainage from these pens undoubted- ly runs into Brurnp's bayou in the wet season, but at the present time all the drains arc perfectly dry, and until tho heavy rains come no filth from them can enter the bayou.
 As much as the reporter would like to say otherwise, he must state that the surface water from Beliwood cemetery also drains into Brump's bayou, but what becomes that which falls in the cemetery and is ab- sorbed by the ground he is unable to state. It may, OF may not, by per collation., gradually work it's way into the bayou and from thence into the river.
 The representatives of the Water and Light company contend that the pipes into the river through which water is pumped are fifteen or twenty feet under the surface and that the water. which rushes out of Brump's bayou, one hundred yards above, is | u can mingle with the water which is pumped into the mains of the city. This, of course, may be possible, but the patrons of the company must de eide this problematical question for themselves.
 The representatives of the compa- ny also state that i'll the wet season when Brump's bayouis is flowing, there is usually enough water in the com pany's wells to supply the city, and then no water will be pumped from the river.
 In conclusion, the reporter will say that the Board of Health and city officials are not doing their duty t, the people of Pine Bluff when they allow garbage and carcasses to bt thrown under the banks above tht city, and if they will take the trouble to investigate the matter tht ! GifAPIHC feels assured that the hui sance will at once be abated.

Debs VIII Go fo Jan

CTIIcAGo, Dec. 1S.-Eugene V. Debs, President of the American Railway Union, and his associates, have de- cided to accept the penalty imposed by Judge Woods for contempt of court without appeal. They will go to the Cook county jailne Monday. The convicted men reached this de- cision today without consulting their attorneys, and their decision is positive. Debs says an appeal would likely be of no avail, and the worry and expense of the appeal would be gleater than their punishment.
