ARKANSAS HARBOR BOOM.
The Company Preparing for

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. =
A special to the Express from

Notwithstanding the Balti-

ton that they did not desire,

lively known that the Arkansas

izing one of the greatest crushes

Arkansas Pass, but Southwest
Texas, that ever was precipita
ted on any country by private
capital, California not excepted.
That portion of the state gave
them nearly one hundred thou
sand acres Of land in addition
to the thousands of acres given
them by the state to open that
port 10 commence, not including
the lands to be given them for
building the Arkansas Har6or &
Northern Railroad, and their
agents are quietly working up
every section of that country
to advertise its cheap lands,
climate, etc. Besides your cor
respondent has positive infor
nation that they are opening
| immigration offices in Europe
and quoting a rate to Arkansas
Pass after July cheaper than
can be had 10 any other port in
America, aud it is believed that
their excursion sale of February
II is only rise to get people
to see the harbor and country
and entertain them with their
great turtle barbecue, and, il
they can avoid it, to sell them
very little property at present.

of congress passing an anti

 To Run Dummy Trains-Bui1ding Boom
 Expected.
 Florence, Jan. 20.-(Special)-I is ru- mored on good authority that the Louis- ville and Nashville railroad will put on a dummy train shortly between Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia, which will make trips every hour during the day. Such a train has been long needed
 Florence expects to have a building boom in the spring A number of con- tracts have been let for dwelling houses in East Florence, and many houses will be built in the city proper. The brick manufacturers are expecting a large bus mess, and are making their plans accord ingly. The growth of the city during the past year has been much greater than is generally supposed, and there is a con- stantly increasing demand for houses.
 A number of important archaeological discoveries are being made in the bluffs of the Tennessee river near Florence. A few days ago party of Florentines came upon cave high up in the bluff near Bainbridge ferry The cave is far above high water, and is accessible only by means of ladder 50 feet long. Within the cave were found human bones and curious pottery. The bones bore evil dence of having belonged to a race he rofc in size, and the pottery is unlike any found in Indian mounds in this section.
 
 from 1t are several smaller caverns, which could be entered. All residents in the neighborhood tell of another cave which was found years ago near the same place, but which was closed by some dls- turbance of nature, supposedly an earth quake.
 The bluff at the point where this last cave was found is fully 200 feet high, and it is believed there are other caves in 1t similar to the one explored, that have been closed up by the people who used them as place of burial for their dead Some months ago a similar cave was found below Sheffield by parties from Barton station, which had been cleverly closed by large stones. In it were also found human bones and quaint pottery.
 It is thought~more than probable that race of cave or cliff dwellers once made their homes in the bluffs along the Ten nessee, and the bones and pottery recent ly discovered are believed to belong to race which has been extinct for many centuries. g

THINGS DRAMATIC. !

r The Baldwin Melville company in fThe Golden Giant Mine" packed k O'Brien's opera house last night with an | enthusiastic audience. By the time the curtain rose on the. first act every seat in the house had been sold and standing room only could be secured. The sale of standing room was soon discontinued, as E all available space had been filled The Baldwin Melville company has played in Birmingham several times in , the past and always to a pleased audi ence, but last nights house was rec ord breaker. And they deserved the lib- eral patronage given them. The com pany is composed of good material and the performance they gave last night was far better than great many of the regular price plays seen here. In fact, 1t would be hard matter to pick a flaw inl the acting of any member of the com pany.
 : The soubrette, jolly little Louise Ham, llton, was all life and vivacity and romp- ed around to the merriment of the audi ence. She is clever little actress and easily works her way into the hearts of her hearers.
 The acting of the other members of the company, including w. H. Murdock Will son Day and Miss Florence Hamilton, was fully up to that of Miss Louise Ham, alton. MT Baldwin has an excellent com pany anu one that gives entlre S2tlSIac- tion.
 This afternoon they will give mat inee. presenting "The Devils Web" and at tonght's performance they will give Michael Strogoff." The prices for the matinee are: For the parquet, 20 cents; dress circle and gallery, children or adults, 10 cents. At night parquet. 30 cents; dress circle, 20 cents; gallery, 10 cents.
 Thursday and Saturday nights prize of $25 cash will be given away. Each person attending the performances will be given a ticket entitling him to rhanca at the nriza
