TWENTY-ONE YEARS
Imprisonment in the Penitentiary is the Sentence Imposed Upon Matriede
 Ella Tims.

The Grand Jury of Jefferson County is rapidly disposing of the cases brought before it. Up to yes terday afternoon it had returned twenty true bills for felonies. A majority of the indicted parties are now confined in the County jail,
 The wheels of the Circuit Court is also running smoothly. and with his usual celerity Judge Elliott, who -presides over the Court, is dealing out justice to offenders who are brought before him.
 Yesterday he passed sentence upon four criminals, who were indicted the day before and appeared before his court and entered the plea of guilty to the crimes for which they were indicted. The names, offenses and sentences were as follows:
 Ella Tims, murder in the second degree, was sentenced to twenty one years at hard labor in the Peni- tentiary. Readers of the GRAPHIC will remember that Ella Times is the negro woman who about one month ago threw her two children into a lake to drown them so that she could marry Walter Dixon. The youngest child was drowned, bu6 the elder managed to reach the bank. The woman is below the average in intellect and this fact: alone, saved her from being sentenc ed to death.
 Mat Perkins entered a plea of guilty to burglary and was given three years.
 Tom Divine admitted that he stole watch from J c. Gibson, and was given one year at hard labor in the Penitentiary for the offense. Chas. Small was allowed to go free upon the payment of a fine of $5 and cost. He was indicted for assault, and entered plea of guilty.

HAVE ORDERED FILTERS.
The School Board Will Take Everey Pre- caution to Give the Pupils of the
 Public Schools Putt Water.

That the article in yesterdays GRAPHIC relating to the impure water now being furnished the pupils of the public schools, was timely there is no question, but the reporter was unaware, at the time the article was witten, that the School Board had ordered filters for all the schools, and as soon as the same arrives the Board of School Directors will do all in it's power to furnish the schools with the very best drinking water pos sible to be had. These filters were ordered more than three weeks ago. so our reporter was informed by one of the directors this morning, and should have been received here long ago.

NOTES OF INTEREST
Concerning the Cotton States and Inter
 national Exposition at Atlanna.

The movement to bring the school boys and school girls of the South to Atlanta has met with prompt en- couragement, both from the schools and railroads. The Chief of Pub licity and promotion is in receipt of letters from General Passenger Agents of a number of railroads, say ing that they will cooperate heart fly in the matter, and printed mat ter has been sent out through the railroads to the schools.
 In this connection information comes that the University of Ten nessee will send down battalion of cadets from Knoxville to Atlanta in November to go into camp near the exposition. The University will be represented also by fine exhibit in the Liberal Arts Department.
 Saturday afternoon a special train on the Seaboard Air Line brought in 200 Chinamen, imported for the Chinese village at the Cotton States and International Exposition. The Chinamen landed at Vancouver sev- eral weeks ago, were brought to New York by the Canadian Pacific and reached Atlanta over the sea- board.
 The Cotton States and Interna- tional Exposition will oper more ad- vanced than the Worlds Fair did, and very large proportion of the exhibits will be in place. Within a week after the after the opening the whole thing will be practically com plete.
 A number of the State Governors will be present at the opening of the Atlanta Exposition. Among them will be Gov. Charles T. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, with his entire staff, Gov Levi P. Morton, of New York, will also be present with his entire staff and the New York commissioners. Two days later Gov.

WORK OF AN INCENDIARY
Was the Fire that Caused the Destruction
 of Three Residences Last Night

Fires are again becoming of ire quent occurrence in this city, and the one last night was undoubtedly ofin- cendiary origin, and it behooves property owners to be on their guard least they be the next victim of the fiend, to whom hanging would be too easy an end.
 The alarm was given about II o'clock last night, by the usual sig nal that of firing guns and pistols, and closely following these came the screech of the whistle at the mill of the Bluff City Lumber Company, which was m indication that the fire was in that vicinity. This proved to be the ease, for the flames were soon bursting through the roof of a residence on Fourth avenue, just west of Mulberry street, occupied by Mrs. $. A, Gatchell, whose husband ig connected with the stave factory at this place. The fire department responded quickly to the alarm and worked faithfully, but on account o f the fact that the residence was nearly out of the fire limits, 1t could only be reached from one fire plug. The flames quickly licked up the Gatchel residence and spread to the house of MT. George B. Maupin. This was also soon burned to the ground and still the flames were unchecked and continued to sweep westward until the home of Mr. k. $. White was in flames and this, too, was burned. The house occupied by MT. l.. s. and Fifth avenue, was also damaged several hundred dollars. This loss was fully covered by insurance.
 The Gatehell residence and that oc- cnpied by Mr. Smithers were owned by Capt. E. l.. Taylor and were in- sured ysthe Mills agency for $500 each. Mrs. Gatchell had her house. hold furniture, which was all lost, insured with the same agency, for $150
 The house occupied by Mr. White
 was owned by Mrs. Lena Donelson, and it was insured for small sum. Mrs. Gatchell in whose house the fire originated, is positive that the residence was set on fire. She had packed her trunk preparatory to leaving on visit to friends in Ken lucky last night and was lying on
 the bed with her clothes on waiting for the arrival of the train, when she was aroused by the fire alarm, and at that time theflames had gained such headway that she barely had time in her frightened condition to get out of the house, she even lost her hat and pocket purse, which was lying on the dresses in the room oc- cupied by her. She took supper
 with u friend last night, her husband
 being absent from the city, and there was no fire about the place when she returned home, for she and that friend, Mrs. Maupin, walked through the house to see that the doors were all securely fastened.
 The other unfortunate victims saved part of their furniture and household goods, most all of which however, was in damaged con- dition.

services are the saddest and most solemn of the Jewish Church.
 It was on the day of atonement alone, in the times of old, that the high priest, in his ephod and breast plate, his mitre and girdle and his flowing vestments of gold and pur- pie and fined linen was permitted to the Holy of Holies. There is no Holy of Holies now It was abol- ished when the last temple of the old Jews was destroyed by the Emperor, Titus, who sacked Jerus- alem in the year TO A. D. The only ma- terial reminder of the Holy of the Holies to the Jews of today is the little ark behind the chancel of the Synagogue in which the Book of the Laws reposes.

A BIG SHOW COMING.
Ringing Bros Great Exhibition to Visit
 This City soon.

Arrangements have been completed for the visit of the Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest Shows to Pine Bluff. This memorable event will occur Friday, October II.
 The Ringling Bros. are so far in ad- vance of all competitors that a com parison with any other tented exhi- bition would be superfluous. Noth- ing like this vast exposition of all that is marvellous in the circus and geologic world has ever before been gathered together under a single management. Among it's many fea- lures are the famous Eddy Family of acrobats; the three Da Comas, the greatest of all great aerial perform CTS: the Landauer troupe of nine flexible models, i'll a remarkable re- production Of famous old-world stat uary; the Ty-Bells, in new and unique performance on the breaka- way ladder; Orrin Hollis, Mike Rooney, Cecile Iowande, Edward Shipp, Daniel Leon, William Devan, Mile Elena, Julia Lowande, Marian Leslie, and other celebrated bareback riders; Rose Stickney and her won- derfully-trained school of dogs; Joe Lewis, the great contortionist, the famous Miaco Family of clowns and acrobats; the Mayos, grotesque ska torial artists; Akimotos' troupe of imperial Japanese equilibrlsts, and many other never before presented features.
 Ringling Bros, great circus is this season larger, better and more com prehensive than ever. The parapher- nalia used is the most ,nassiYe and the most attractive ever made for a circus. The mammoth hippodrome and menagerie tents are the largest in the world.
 The 1T ". Harper Sour Mash whiskey is, we think, and if you try it you will agree with us) the finest favored whiskies made in Kentucky. It is not sold until fully matured, and until the fusil oil has been eliminated. Indeed, we challenge any chemist to find drop of fusil oil in barrel of it when we put it on the market. 1t is especially commended for medical purposes, on account of it's purity, while as a beverage we un- hesitatingly assert that it issuperior to the finest French Cognac.

seen coming alon" the street on II
huckinr pony. For 80 young Il boy he
held his seat well. but It seemed cx-
ceening probable to the ~onlookers that
before he got the pony home he would
either he thrown or would hare 20 get
off. The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement. and
finally one man bet the other the en-
tire government per capita that the
boy would he thrown before he got

The bet was accepted with vicious
ca~rrncss. and as they watched the
antics of the pony as it whirlcd round,

did everything else that was ever
known to Il trick morse, they almost
came to blows in the excitement Of
their argument. Finally the horse,
despairing Of any other means of get

and fell on its side. knocking half the
life out of the boy. and then rolling
completely over him. An alteration,
OF course. followed as to which had

to the horn OF his saddle, although ap-
parently fatally injured. He neither
fell of nor got off. out was lifted off
the furious animal by half a dozen men
who rushed quickly to the rescue. Eff
forts were made to quiet the two In

be declared off was freely made. As

fair: but the wagering of such a COM

A noted American shipbuilder says
in the New York ''Tribune:'' THE
day of the wooden ship is about over.
Iron and steel are the materials we
must Look to henceforth. and ships
constructed of them have every adj
vantage of the old-time wooden ones.
The depletion of our forests would
make the change inevitable anyway.
but aside from that the maritime world
is A gamer by the new conditions.
The iron vessels are more durable,

For the seven months ending with

ago. while the exports were 1874. BPS
993. Il decrease of 66. 600. coo. This az
fOrds an indication OF what the Demo-
cratic tariff law will do. 1t increases
our imports of manufactured goods.
and thus Injuries our working classes:
for every dollars worth of that in
crease in imports mean Il dollars
worth less made here. consequently
that much less work for our people.
Furthermore. instead of increasing
our exports it has cut them down.
thus diminishing the market for our

which cuts both ways. but both wound
