Correspondent Pannewitz of tho

his paper last week to obtain tho
views of the newly appointed re-
publican chairman, x G Seydler,
upon the political outlook in this
county. Mr. Scydlor said:
"Yes, I have been rendered tho
craftsmanship of the county execu
tive committee, but have not yet
accepted the same and no not know
whether [ will accept or not, AS for
political prospects Of the republi-
can party, 1 think it is very bright
and we will poll a heavy vote in
the county at the next election,
and if the right men are nominated
will stand g good chance Of electing
them.'
"What do you think of the state
at large as regards your party?"
81 think the outlook is very good
as there will be division in the
democratic party on the financial
question; also The populists will
have a good many more votes, so,
if the different factions Of the
republican party will unite, we will
be strictly in the swim"
"What are your views in regard
to the next congressional campaign
in the tenth district"
IF Hon. A. J. Rosenthal should
not be seated by the congressional
committee, we will surely elect Il
republican representative to the
Fifty-ffth congress from the Tenth
district, and the democrats may
paste this in their hats for future
reference. If we can remedy the
split in our party and get the lilly
whites to Join hands with the reg
ular republican party we will have

TWO HORSES KILLED.
A Live Wire Did the Work The First Accident of the
 Kind in the City.

About GAO o'clock Sunday after noon two horses hitched to a dairy wagon ran into live wire on Sixth avenue, directly.in front of the resi- denee of Col. R. M. Knox, and both animals were instantly killed. The horses, as our reporter is informed, were the property of MT. w. H. Nichols, the dairyman. A broken telephone wire fell across an cleo tric light wire and was charged with electricity, and the end hanging on the street struck the horses and caused their death. The accident was probably caused by the wreck of the telephone pole and wires at the Valley depot.
 Mr. Nichols and his son, who were in the wagon at the time of the accident, were also badly shocked, but when the horses fell to the ground they jumped from the ye- hicle and caught hold of them and at tempted to help them to their feet. The shock was so great that the gentlemen suffered severely from it's effects all night.
 This is the first accident that has eyer occurred in this city from cleo tricity.

A WAGON FACTORY.
A Proposition to Erect One in Pine
 Bluff.-A Site Asked For.

There is an opportunity for Pine Bluff to secure q wagon factory, a concern that will employ from twen- ty to thirty Workmen for the first year. Mr. E. II. Golhouer, the well known wagon maker, is at the head of the enterprise, and he, with a num- Der of other gentlemen who are backed by ample means, agree to erect a plant to cost not less than $10,000, if the citizens will donate a suitable building si te. The building is to be of brick. and the factory is to employ not less than twenty skilled workmen for the first year.
 This proposition is a most liberal one and there is no question but that several sites for the proposed plant will at once be offered by our liberal and progressive land owners.
 Mr. Colhouer has had years of ex- perience in wagon making and this experience will be a guarantee that if the enterprise is oncestar ted it will be a success.
