A STREET CAR CHANGE
MR.. D. C. BELL APPOINTED
MANAGER.
The Change is a Movement to Re-
vivlfy the System and Convert
it Into an Electric Line.

Saturday morning at Z o'clock ex-
Mayor D. G. Bell took charge of the
Pine Bluff Street car line.
This action was by appointments
of Col. T. H. West and the other st.
Louis owners of the local car line,
Messrs. 0Connell and Taylorf who
have been in charge since the fore
closure sale on March the Goth, hav-
ing surrendered the job.
1t will be remembered that on the
date above men toned the street car
line was sold at public auction in
front of the court house and that
the property was purchased by the
st. Louis bondholders. Pend
ing permanent arrangements,
Messrs. John O'Connell and J. M.
Taylor were placed in temporary
charge until the property could be
disposed of.
But Messrs. O'Connell and Taylor
found they had an uphill business
and on the 31st ult. gladly gave up
the task.
Mr.. Bells appoin tment was the
result of much correspondence with
the St. Louis owners. For some
time the enterprising ex-Mayor
has been quietly engaged in
an effort to find a purchaser or pur-
chasers for the property with a
view to converting it into an cleo
trio line, and when the ST. Louis
owners learned of this they called on
him to "sell or manage the same
until sold.
Mr.. Bells appointment is step
toward an electric line. He was APP
pointed for that purpose. For some
time he has been looking out for
prospective purchasers, and has
been in correspondence with several
parties with that end in view. Gen.
tiemen are expected to arrive this
week to inspect the property with a
view of purchasing the same and
converting it into an electric line.
The same parties, if they buy the
property, will put in power house
and also put in bid for lighting
the city. In that connection it will
be remembered that at the expira-
tion of the light contract in July
the city council only entered into a
new con tract with the Pine Bluff
Water & Light Company for a
period of six months. This action
was taken to give encouragement to
the movement for an electric street
car line and to give the promoters
of the enterprise an opportunity to
bid for lighting the city for defn-
tie term of years. With such an in
ducenent, bidders for the street
railroad are not to be unexpected,
and in conversation with Mr. Bell
last night he stated to a GRAPHIC
reporter that prospects for an early
sale of the road and conversion of
the same into an electric line were
very fattering. The st. Louis
owners are ready and anxious to do
anything that will make it an cleo
trio line. They will sell the proper
ty outright very cheap, or they will
take stock in an electric line to the
present value of their property and
franchises.
Pending some permanent ar
rangement Mr.. Bell will put on ex'
ira cars, have the old cars reno
waited, put the tracks in good repair
and otherwise improve the prop
erty. He hopes in short time tC
improve the service to such de
gree that it will receive an in
creased patronage at the hands o.
the public.
Mr.. Bell is an energetic young
man and we congratulate him upor
his appoin tment.

No warrant Issued

A man IN iaborer'S clothes and with one
OF his eyes bIacked and with his face badly
scratched. walked into Magistrate South's
office one day last week. The magistrate
was sitting at his desk
Are We the Judge?'' he asked.
I'm the magistrate; what can do fer
you?"
Well said the visitor, ''Oi how a griev-
vance agin McGinnis.''
Who is he?'' asked the ma magistrate.
He keeps a saloon over beyant, an OF
went in there the day fur ter cit a drink.

Ferdinand and the Car.

As the date for the baptism of Prince
Boris has been set. the news that the
sultan has recognized the child's father
as reigning sovereign of United Bulgaria
serves to show that at last Ferdinand is
on the verge of the semi-sacred region
where royalty alone may exist. He needs
nothing but the recognition of the czar to
admit him to this exalting association
with the truly great, and it is supposed
that the Russian ruler Will grant the Co
burgers fond wishes Just as soon as
Prince Boris bechnes member OF the
Greek church. For brief time, then, it
is apparently assured that Ferdinand Will
be 4 king among kings as well as the act
ing royal authority among the Bulgarians
and RoumeliaDs. But the rumorS from
Sofia indicate that the new king will find
terrible responsibilities crowding upon
him. If the pope directs the major eX-
communication against him, as the news
from the Vatican says that he intends to
do, the Sofia rulers Bourbon-P armese
wife may be induced to desert him. Her
children were to be baptized in the Ro-
man Catholic faith. and the lord of the
Bulgarian future has not kept his prom
Use. VIII Ferdinand be able TO keep his
throne long with the cars contempt on
the one side, and the disrepute of his
crimes and of his falsity to his wife's re-
lieion on the other?-Providence Journal.

Mr. John w. Albaugh VIII Retain the
Management, But Other Details
Have Not Been Made Public.

Local theatrical circles were SURPRISED
last night to hear that the LAFAYETTE SQUARE
Opera House had been disposed Of by pri-
vate sale to the Philadelphia theatrical
managers, Messrs. Nixon and Zimmcr-

The contract whereby this weIl-known
firm assumes control of the tbeater was
closed yesterday with the former proprie-

though Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman have
purchased the property and viii make it
one of the best OF the first-class houses
which they control in Brooklyn, Baltimore
Pittsburg, and Philadelphia, it will re-

Il do not care TO discuss the matter as

with laugh, 'sbut to set your mind at rest,
1 will say that l win still be connected

it,"
Their three theaters in Philadelphia and
also those in Baltimore, Ptttsburg and
Brooklyn are personally looked after by
them and the fact that Mr.. Albaugh will re-

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES
Betting On the Irving-Lyons
Contest.
TROY TALKS OF ZIMMERMAN
Says the Reports That ''Skceter" Has
Lost His Burst of Speed Are Not
Abroad-Sportsma Exhibition at
Madison Square Garden.

Several good-siZed wagers have been
made on the outcome of the glove contest
which takes place between Ralph Irving
and Hughey Lyons, both of this city, be-
fore the Young Mems Athletic Club next
Friday night.
Irving is slight favorite over the heavy
hitting Lyons, as his friends and admirers
claim that he is so clever that Hughey will
never ge; within striking distance of him.
Joe Barnett, whom it will be remem
bered once fought a thirty-three round
battle with Howard Wilson, has Lyons
in charge, and claims that his man will be
at weight when the right time comes and
Will be good and strong.
Lyons is doing his work at"Doc'' Rays
farm, where every facility is offered for
such purposes.
His opponent viii also be in good shape
when he steps into the ring, as he is
good hand at training. and always keeps
himself in such condition that at a mo-
ments notice he can shape himself up.
Tommy Dixon, local colored lad, who
wants to be pugilist, is anxious TO go on
in preliminary with Alec. Brown, but the
chances are that the management will put
on Joe Mack against Alec. These lads put
up such a game, hard fight when they met
in the preliminary TO the Wilson-Kelly
fight that they win, of themselves, be quite
a drawing card.
Such a ten rounds of give and take
slugging as they went through is seldom
seen, and it suits the appetites of the sports
