THAT STREET. SWEEPER.
why It Has Not Arriveda As Promised BY
MIR. Franklin.

Mr. Sam Franklin, who has a con-
tract with our people to sweep the
paved streets of Pine Bluff, is much
provoked and outraged because the
sweeper ordered by him some tinse
ago has not arrived. Saturday he
received the following letter from
the Aultman Company, which ex-
plains Why the streets have not yet
been swept:
CANTON, Quo, October II, 1885
Mr. sam Franklin. Pine Bluff. Ark.
DEAR SIR:-Your telegram of the
18th received and answered yester-
day We admit that you have every
reason to be greatly put out at the
delay in shipping the machine. but
it is one of those cases where we
simply could not help ourselves.
The fact Of the matter is that Our
first batch of machines were all put
out before receiving your order and
on our next lot we wish to include a
number of important improvements
not contained in the first lot. In
fact, we changed the entire con-
struction of the machine and the
delays contingent in getting out
practically a new machine were
much longer than we had any idea
they would be. However, we
want to give you entire satisfaction
and if you have been able to hold
your people open, viii be greatly
pleased and viii make you an al
lowance of $25 for the delay. Thank
ing you for your patience and
hoping the machine will reach you
in time so that your customers will
not be too much provoked with you,
we are, Yours truly,
THE AULTMAN COMPANY

LOST A HOME.
air. Ed. L. GoIburn Meets With Misfortans
Last might.

AS the morning sun rose in 1.-The
heavens today it shone on one
more family in Pine Bluff without a
home-their home and their all
having been destroyed By fire. about
7:3O O'Clock last night.
The family. OF Mr.. Ed T.. Golburn
ere the unfortunate ones For many
years they had occupied lovely
little cottage on Pine street, between
Fifth and Sixth avenues, where they
were surrounded by every comfort.
To-day where che happy home stood
at this time Yesterday, is nothing
but charred timhers, which will re-
call to the afflicted family sad recol-
leetions OF the happy hours spent
beneath the roof-tree of :. the
burnt house.
The fire certainly must have been
Of incindiary Origin, as Mrs Colburn
and children affirm that at the hour
the fire broke out no lighted lamps
were in the house, neither was there
fire in the stoves or CRATES. Mr..
Colburn is in Memphis, and his wife
and children were visiting a neigh
Dor when the alarm :. was given.
None of the furniture or household
goods We're saved, noteven change
OF clothing for any member OF the
family. Kind friends rendered Mrs.
Colburn and children a nome until
the husband could return from
Memphis and make other arrange
ments for them.
The house was insured for $1,000.
to cover a motgage on the place
held by Bishop Fitzgerald, of Little
Rock.
Mrs. Colburn had her piano insured
for 500, and this sum is all that re-
mains to her from her house and
household goods. The family has
the sincere sympath OF many friends
in this, their hour OF misfortune.
1t is but justice to the Water and
Light Company to say that the
water pressure at this fire was
good, and it is due to this fact that
the house OF Judge w. d. Johnson
and others adjacent were saved
from destruction.

BURNED TO THE GROUND.
Two Residences Consigned and the Fire
Department Helpless On Ac-
count of Having No
Water.

Saturday morning about 1890
o'clock Pine Bluff had another dis
astrous fire which caused the total
destruction of handsome two
story residence on West Sixth ave-
nue., and d small cottage adjoining
it, together with the contents of
both houses.
The fire originated in the large
residence which was owned by Judge
Owen and occupied by Mrs. Lottie
Allen, as d boarding house. 1t was
believed the fire was due to a defec-
tive aue, as fire was started in a
stove which had just been put up,
and in less than half an hour after
wards the entire second story of the
building was roaring mass of
flames. An alarm was given and
the fire department quickly re-
sponded, but for fully fifteen min
utes after reaching the scene of CON
hagration no water could be had and
by that time the fire had gained
such Roadway it was beyond control
The wind which was blowing
strongly to the southwest prevented
the destruction Of the residence Of
Mr. IT. c. McGaughy as well as the
row of buildings due west
The burning building made a ire
mendously hot fire, and the little
cottage on Che west, occupied by
Mr.. W. S. Hamlin, an employee of
the Bluff City Lumber Company,
was soon in flames and was burned
to the ground.
The fire gained such a Roadway
and spread so rapidly that the con-
tents of both houses, with the ex-
ception of a piano and several
pieces of furniture owned by Mrs
Allen, were consumed. Both houses
were owned by Judge j. w Owen.
The two-story house, valued at
about 81, 200, was insured for 81, $50
The other house, worth about 5000,
was insured for $3.50
Mrs. Alien had insurance to the
amount of 81 800 on her household
furniture and goods. The boaeders
in the house lost all their clothing
and personal effects.

THREE LITTLE ROCK BABIES.
They Made Their Debut on the Local
Stage Last Night

The Little Rock Gazette Of today
has the following to say of"A Fatted
Calf, which was produced at the
Opera-house in that city last night:
''The three-act domestic comedy,
"A Fatted Calf, drew a fairly good
audience at the Capital Theater last
night and won favor. E was devoid
of coarseness and there was no fea-
ture of it that could shock the most
refined sensibilities.
Miss Jennie Lind Lewis, in the
role Of Blanche Idaho, was graceful
and pleasing and her singing was
excellent. She has a rich soprano
voice and has many admirers, as an
actress, all over the country.
''Miss Katherine White, st.
Louis girl, was seen in the part Of
Dolly Franklin, and created a pleas
ant impression
"Miss Nellie Sheldon, as Mrs. Nc
Cam, was without fault She has
played all the leading Irish Cha, ac-
ters with Augustin Days company,
and her dialect is true to nature.
"Three live Little Rock babies
appeared on the stage in the last
act and contributed to the merry
making
The comedy will be PRESENTED at
the Opera-house tonight and three
babies of this city will also make
their debut upon the stage.

Court was busy hearing arguments
in damage suit for $40, 900 brought
by Mrs. e. O. G. Lampkins and her

GEORGE JACOB SWINEFURTH.
The Bogus Messiah BEFORE the Courts
For Alleged orooIsedness.

ROCKFORD, Ill, Oct. 22.-The
trial OF George Jacob Schwinefurth,
the Messiah" was begun before
Judge Cartwright, OF the Circuit
Court, today. Long before the open
ing of the court the courtroom and
corridors were crowded with the
curious, mingled with the score of
witnesses summoned by the State
and the sprinkling OF the angles"
who had fluttered in from George
Jacobs heaven. The letter. how
ever, seem more disposed to remain
in the seclusion OF the heaven than
to appearing in an earthly court.
The bogus Messiah will be con-
fronted by several of his apostles,
who have deserted the heaven and
incidentally promised the States
Attorney a complete eXposal of the
ways and methods of their former
lord and master. Meanwhile the
latter has engaged Ex-Congressman
Lathrop and City Attorney Webb
to defend him, and the prospects
are good for an interesting and
sensational time during the next
few days.

The Last of the Season.

The last of the Y. M. G. A., Star Course
entertainments. will be given at the Opera
House by the Torbett Concert Company,
next Friday evening, 18th inst. The Com
pany is composed of strong male sextette,
violinist and pianoist. Miss Ollie Tor
belt, the violinist, is a gifted young artist,
whose personal appearance is beautiful,
and whose manners are graceful and
charming. She is said to have divided the
honors with Miss Clara Louise Kellogg for
two seasons.
MI. Rudolph Won Scarpa, the pianist,
is an Austrian, and has been accorded the
highest praise by the press critics in both
Europe and America. His playing is said
to be admirable and displays excellent pow
er and wonderful technique. The sextette
is composed of male members, and all from
Stockholm. Sweden. While the melodies
Jenny Lind and Christine Nils0n-fnd a
conspicuous place in their concert pro-
gramme. their repertoir includes the vocal
gems of other nations. These can he rem
dered. it is said, with equal facility in five
languages. Such combination of artists
in one company is sure to secure an enter
tainment of the highest order, and one that
does not fail to charm an audience. A
gentleman of this city who has seen the
company in concert in Chicago, says they
give first class entertainment IN every
respect, and that those who fail to hear
them here will miss rare musical trea t.
Their specimen programme is very attrac.
tive. Box sheet for sale Of reserved seats
will be open after A NJ, next Thursday
