 The New Post Office.

Now, for the first time in the history of Pine Bluff she has q re- spectable postofnce; one which is q credit to the city. The new building into which the postOffice was moved Saturday night, is a eommodious and handsome one, and it has been furnished throughout by it's owner, Dr. J. F. Simmons, in an elegant and thorough manner. In it are over 300 lock boxes of the Keeley combina- ton patent locks. The office is SUD- piled with a large fire and burglar proof vault and other fixtures which
 go to make up a modern postoffice. To say that our people are delighted
 with it, would be but expressing it mildly, and if the government had
 built and equipped 9 building it would not have been aieer or better furnished than the one we now have.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, April l, 1895. Gen. White. City.
 DEAR SIR:-No such testimony as that referred to is in my possession, and none of that kind has ever been. Yours truly,
 SMITH c. MARTIN, Pros. Atty.
 So you may see that the entire ar ticle of the Press-Eaglee is a dirty at- tempt upon the eve of an election to so poison your minds against me and carrying out at such q time and in such q cowardly manner as to att tempt to prevent a proper reply; but as I told you on last Saturday night I expected just such an attack, and, indeed, I could hardly expected any thing else from such a dirty, craven, coward and liar as Arthur Murray.
 Now, with regard to the article, Charming Liberality." It is true that the original contract that the Second avenue bridge was contracted for at the sum of 1882; it is also true that thesum of $1 ,020 was paid for the same. I herewith attach the affi- davit of William Davis, the contrac- tor who built that bridge, which, l think is satisfactory:
 STATE OF ARKANSAS
 COUNTY 0F JEFFERSON.
 I, William Davis, state on oath, that l am the person to whom was let the original contract for the con- struction of Second avenue bridge and that I took the contract at $SS2, and was paid $1 ,020. and explain the difference in.contract and payment by extra work put upon said bridge. MT. Truheart was the City Engineer at the time this work was done and the extra money Was paid only on vouchers at the same rate as original contract. This extra work was ren- dered necessary by caying bank which made more work and material necessary. WILLIAM DAVIS. Subscribed and sworn to before me thist 1st of April 1893.

TOMPKINSVILLE, s. l., Sept. e.
The seventh annual regatta Of the New
York Yacht Racing Association. which
has since its beginning been held on La
Dor Day. was handicapped to-day by
one important fact. and that was that
there was not a capful of wind. More
than 400 persons went down to the start,
which was off Spar Buoy 10. on the
steamboat Laura NJ. Starin. and their
disappointment was expressed in words
as well as looks when they found that
the races would not commence until a
wind spranS up.
When 1t was announced at II o'clock
that the Regatta Committee had decided
to change the starting time from II 20
IL o'clock the crowd almost howled its
disgust, But all knew that good races
were coming, so they queted down and
waited for the hoped-for hour and
breeze.
The judges boat was r. II. MacFar-
lands sloop Aunt Jenny. and the Judges
were Capt j. c. Summers, A. +. Adams
and Mr.. Dahm Peterson.
Between buoy Is and Liberty Island
the yachts were slowly sailing around,
waiting for that tardy breeze. and so
calm was the water and the wind that
some yachts resorted to oars to gain
starting positions. The starting and
finishing line for all classes was an
imaginary line between Oyster Island
buoy and a stakeboat.
At II o'clock sharp the preparatory
signal. q blast from the whistle of tho
Laura NJ. Starin, was given. and ten
minutes later the signal for classes A.

LONDON. Sept. 2.-Justin Mccarthy.
NJ. p, leader of the Home Rule party.
has issued a manifesto denouncing the
nomination of a Healyite for Parlia-
ment in Kerry. in opposition to the Nc
Carthyitc candidate.

Healyites is an act of treason. and
that the revolt forces issues whether II
be maintained or not. The manifesto
was issued without consultation with
other members of the Home Rule party

been mixed up with any of the party s
