The Thief Captured in This City Last Night and Proves to Be the Same Party Who Rob- bed Judge
 Jones' Resi-
 dence.

Yesterday negro entered the sec tion house of Mr NJ Glenn on the Val ley Road at Clancy Bayou.
 MT. Glenn is a section foreman and at the time of the robbery was at work on the track. No one was at home except his daughter, a young lady about l9 years of age, and she was out in the yard attending to some washing. The negro came up to her, drew a pistol and ordered her to go into the house and unlock a trunk ill which 1t was believed there was some &300. At the point of the pistol the girl compiled and unlocked the trunk. The negro opened and ransacked it, taking from it all the money and yaluables he could find.
 Fortunately for Mir. Glinn, only about $3 was in the trunk, which money the negro appropriated and departed However, we learn that some $500 in gold was hidden about the premises ut the time, but all of this was left intact.
 A description of the robber was telephoned to Pine Bluff officers yes terday afternoon, and last night while Policeman Frank Stewart was making his rounds, he entered John Smiths colored saloon on Third avenue where he espied a negro answering to the description of the robber. Policeman Stewart inn mediately arrested and searched the negro and found upon his person a pistol, several articles reported as stolen from the section house; also the shirt and sleeve buttons stolen from Judge W. D. Jones residence in this city Tuesday night. The negro also had in his possession a handsome pair of new pants, which were tied up in large red bandanna handkerchief. The pants were stolen from Jefferson Springs, and a description of them had previously been telephoned to the police.
 When arrested the negro first gave his name as Andy Kanty, but subsequently gave his name as Charlie Mum.
 The officers have undoubtedly made an important capture. Mum, or Kanty, or whatever his name may he, is the same person who rob

Heavy Rains and Storms Last Night in Western Arkansas, Oklahoma and the In

The Arkansas river at this point rose 9 feet last night and is still rls- ing. This sudden rise in the turbid waters of the Arkansas is due to the late heavy rains in he western part of the State, the indian Territory and Oklahoma.

THOSE WHO ARE TAXED
For the Purpose of Gravelling Fifth Avenue Alone Have the Right to Say How Their Money
 Shall be Expended.

Editor Graphic:
 The original petition of the prop erty owners on Fifth avenue did petition the City Council to form and organize a Gravelling District on said avenue from Main to Linden streets, and nowhere else, not the cross streets-as some proposed back to the alleys, as all this has been added by someone since the filing of the original petition, with out authority.
 The property owners on Fifth ave- nue want it gravelled according to said petition. They do not want the cross streets gravellad now, at all. as the tax would be just twice as large to have this done. The cross streets back to alleys from Fifth avenue is 30S feet, and running meas ure on Fifth, east and west. is only 300 feet from block to block, being eight feet less in length than the dis tance on the cross streets.
 The tax that is now already levied, as I understand it, will more than

 This morning the embassy travesed the principal streets of the ancient capital riding in the two gorgeous carriages of state brought from Paris and which in magnifi- cence are close second to the car riage in which her imperial highness the Empress rode yesterday on the occasion of the state entry. The great ball which the Count de Monte bello will give next week will un- doubtedly eclipse in brilliancy every thing in connection with the fetes, excepting, ofcourse, the cornonation itself.

gravel Fifth avenue as the original petition calls for. We suggest that the Council comply with the original petition, and have plans and specif- cations made to gravel Fifth avenue, as they have no right to do anything else, and then advertise to let the contract to the lowest bidder, and let out contract to have the work done through the supervision of the Commissioners who have been ap- pointed for that purpose alone. This is the only legal and practical way to have this work done, and it is the only way the property owners want it done. They pay for 1t, and, of course, no one can object if they are willing to be taxed to have Fifth avenue gravelled alone. and not the cross streets, because the cross streets are not mentioned or consid- cred in the original petition.

A BIG DEAL.
Hon. S. M. Taylor Purchases the Residence of Judge Silyerman on Fifth
 Avenue.

An important real estate transfer took place this morning when Hon. $. NJ. Taylor, the well known att torney, purchased the handsome home of Judge Frank Silverman on West Fifth avenue.
 This is one of the most beautiful and desirable residences in the city. The residence is large and handsome and is situated on quarter of block of as pretty ground as can be found in the city. The property is well shaded with the famous water oak trees, and the yard fairly filled with as beautiful flowers and roses as can be found in the State.
 The consideration is understood to have been $5,000, which Is very low price for so fine and valuable property. Col. Taylor is to be con- graduated upon his bargain.
 For sometime Judge SiIverman has been in poor health, and was in- duced by this cause to dispose of his beautiful home in Pine Bluff. He and his wife will leave in Q short time for Cripple Creek, Col. where Judge Silyerman has some valuable mining properties, and where they will probably make their future home. Judge Silverman and his estimable wife will carry with them the countless good wishes of multitude of Pine Bluff friends.

A Great Lecture by the Eloquent Pastor of the
 Southsde Baptist Church

Rev. Dr. P. T. Hale, pastor of the Southside Baptist church delivered his lecture on the Holy Land" to a fine au- dience at the Central Presbyterian church on Thursday evening under the auspices of the Ladies Aid society. No charge was made for admission, and yet the lec- ture was followed by one of the usual social gatherings, refreshments, etc., for which that church Is noted.
 Dr. Hale entertained his audience for two hours. yet the deep interest mani- fested by the old and young who were there indicated that with each one pres ent the time passed rapidly. The recent visit of Dr. Hale to the old world Is prov ing of great value not only to himself, but to all the people who are so fortunate as to hear him tell of his observations and experiences. He is thoroughly equipped in an educational way for ap- preciating his opportunities is close observer and pleasing speaker From the time he takes ship atsNew York until he finishes his trip he pictures most graphically the changing scenes of his journey, impressing the mind of his lis tener with a picture that will never be erased. This he does by the power of descriptive eloquence. The fine points possessed by pr. Hale as a lecturer are his excellent delivery, his wit, humor and pathos, his patriotism his love for the beautiful, his classical knowledge and his religion-all of which are harmoni- ously blended in this delightful lecture. Birmingham is pleased that one of her own local pastors has developed wonder full powers as D public lecturer, and there is no doubt but that Dr. Hale,s services will be fin great demand If he does not allow his modesty to overcome his adapt ability to the lecture field in addition to his higher calling--the Baptist ministry.
