EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS TN F1ORENc,

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS IN FLORENCE.
FLORENCE, June 6.-There was q sharp
earthquake shock here early this
morning. 1t aroused almost every
body hastily from their beds, and then
it was followed by succession of
OF Ter subterraneous disturbances.
The people became panic stricken and
rushed in terror to the streets, where
they remained for hours, greatly
alarmed. No serious damage was
done. Expert biologists believe that
the present earthquakes have been
caused by the settling down of the
strata of rock disturbed by previous
shocks.

O'DONNELL THE VICTOR.
HE VIRTUALLY KNOCKS HIS oPPo- NEWT OUT IN THE SECOND
 ROUND.
An Immense Crowd Witnesses the Con. est.-Seyeral Friendly Bouts Be
 tween Amateurs.

Saturday night the Pine Bluff 4 th- letic Association gave it's first exhi- bition, and it's patrons were well pleased with the sport they wit messed. About three hundred people were present.
 The evenings sport was opened by a friendly three round contest be- tween two pleasing and scientific young athelets, Messrs. John Hug gard and Ed. Case.
 A very clever and popular gentle man whom we shall call by the name of Howard Reardon was selected as keeper. MeCammon acted as the second for Huggard and Long for Case. The young men fought three rounds with honors about even. Next followed three round con- test between Lawrence Long and Jack Cameron, two employees of the Cotton Belt railroad. Both boys were full of pluck and showed great science in the manly art. In the first round Long gave Cameron a severe tap on the nose which brought first blood. In the second round honors were about even. In the third round Long landed a blow which knocked
 his opponent off his feet, but did not knock him out.
 The third event was one which created great fun and applause. 1t was a three round mill between Hud- son Allen and Burt Wright. Allen is country lad who possesses im- mense strength and great staying powers. He threshed about with his arms in manner thai would have paralized with fear many anna teurs. At the close of the second round he landed blow on Wright's neck which knocked him out of time
 The last event was the all impor- tant ten round contest between Billy O'Donnell, of Memphis, and Jim Hogan, of San Francisco.
 John Portis was chosen as referee. The seconds for O'Donnell were Tim Fitzgerald and H. M. Howell. Those 1 for Hogan were Harry Shelton and w. Smith. The fight by rounds were as follows:
 1 First Round:-Shook hands, and l together with seconds formed Nal 1 tese cross. Spared for opening
 cautiously. Hogan led but failed to
 land. O'Donnell led with left and 1 landed on breast and clinched Both

OsDonnell tucked and upper cut Hogan in the clinch. Both led and clinched and led and clinched again. Referee warned them to break away on first call. Both led and elinched and had to be separated. O'Don- nall led with left and landed on nose and followed with right on short ribs. Gong sounded. This was O'Donnell's round
 Third Round.-Hogan led with left and right, but failed to land. Ho- gan led and landed on head lightly, but received heavy one in return. O'Donnell led and landed on neck and followed with right and Hogan clinched. O'Donnell led again and landed and clinched on ropes and in order to get away his knee struck Hogan in stomach and foul was claimed, but not allowed, and Hogan was ordered to fight. He refused. whereupon the contest was aw arded to O'DonDell amid cheers.
 1t was plainly apparent after the second round that Hogan had to succnmb.

The scence in the large dancing hall and the many elegant and luxurious parlors before the feast was inaugurated was one of dazzling brilliancy and spendor. The beauty, chivalrs and wit of the Queen City of the Arkansas Valley were out in full force. and the gay and extravagant costumes, and the brilliant and sparkling diamonds blended with the soft and mellow light of sparkling chandeliers and dazzling electric lights was one "the memory of which will be a joy forever

Our People Must Decide.

Secretary Tankersley has received a letter from Col Wallace A. Downs, Secretary of the Continental Match Co.,, of New York, stating that he would arrive in Pine Bluff about the 18th of May for the purpose of se- lecting site for match factory to be established here by his company, provided our people will give a bonus of 5, ,000 It is sure thing that Pine Bluff can get this enter prise if her people will only raise $1 ,500 more and make up the re- quired sum, but it is by no means sure unless they do. This seems a small sum when compared to the large benefits such an enterprise means to Pine Bluff, the property owners and business men. The matter will be in their hands, and they must determine which is best.

Mir. D. C. Burford claims that the GRAPHIC reporter did him an injus- tice in Fridays paper in regard to the silver and gold transaction be tween him and MT. Lev Fowler. Mir. Burford says that he paid Mir Fow- Ter $50l in silver for $500 in gold. He contends yet that it is a difficult matter to get the banks to pay out gold for greenbacks or silver. He also says that he sold his $500 in gold at a premium of $505 making a profit of $5 by the transaction. He also denies that he ''set em up'' to the boys to prevent them from guy ing him. The reporter only published what was told him by one who was pres ent at the transaction.
