THE ELECTRIC STREET BY
The Meeting at the Bluff City Club Poorly Attended Nothing
 Definite Done.

The meeting of citizens called to l,.eet at the Bluff City club hall at l o'clock yesterday afternoon by the local committee appointed to correspond with the. St. Louis owners of the present horse car system, was poorly attended. The meeting was called to order and presided over by MT. ]. E. Trulock, of the committee, and Secretary Geisreiter read three letters from Mir. T. H. West, of St. Iouis, the party in interest, in regard to the conversion of the present system into an electric line. The result of the committees correspondence with Mr. West was d proposition from him for the organization of q local stock company with a capital stock company of $70,000 with which to purchase the present street railway plant and convert if into an electric line; issue $50,00 of bonds on the same and the present owners of the street railway would then turn over their plant, cars, mules and fran ehises for S20,000 worth of these bonds, and the rest of the amount realized from the bonds to be ap- piled to the conversion of the line 1 into all electric system.
 Tho Drouosition was informally discussed by several present, after which the meeting adjourned with out taking any definite action.
 The committee was continued and will correspond further in regard to the matter. The proposition, how ever, did not take favorably, and unless Mir. West can offer some bet ter inducements, the prospects for an electric street railway in Pine Bluff at an early day are exceedingly small.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
In Regard to Delivering Messages
 By Telegraph Companies.

A rather unique and interesting ease occupied the attention of the Jefferson Circuit Court this morning. It was the ease of A. Brewster and W. [. Tankersley against the Vest ern Union Telegraph Co.,, for $l200 for the latter's failure to promptly deliver a message. The eircum- stances are about as follows: Over a year ago Messrs. A. Brews- ter, W. z. Tankersley and J A. Fain, as parteners, took an option on 2OO-head of cattle in Louisiana. Mr. Fain remained in Louisiana, and before the option ex= pired, wired to Messrs Brewster and Tankersley, of this city, to know what to de In the premises. On the evening before the day at noon on which the option expired, Messrs. Ere wster and Tankersley. wired Mr. Fain to close the option, but through the derelietion or earelessness of the Western Union Telegraph Company. the message miscarried and was not delivered until after the option eX- pired. In the meantime the price of cattle greatly advanced on the mar ket, and Messrs. Brewster and Tank ersley brought suit against the Tele- graph Company to recover the esti- mated amount of profits they would have made on the deal had the mes sage been promptly delivered.
 The court held that Mir. Fain, be ing a partner, had the right to close the option at any time, and that the miscarriage of the message did not deprive him of lis right to make the purchase. Therefore, Judge Elliott gave peremptory instructions to the jury to return a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for 75 cents-the cost of the telegram-and no more. The case will be appealed.
 Attorneys Bridges X Woodbridge, of this city, represented the plaintiffs, and Rose, Hemingway X Rose, of Little Rock, the defendant company

ures and successes with such natural
style that they have become as real. as
If they were actually present in the
flesh. Three of the Chilhowee bows
get fitted for Tennessee college, and
make the journey on horseback. The
story tells of their experience both
during the terms of study and while
enjoying their vacations. Many new
characters are introduced, but we do
not lose sight of the old friends at
Chilhowee. The chapters are full of
delightful Incidents; the conversations
are bright and sparkling, and there is a
pretty little episode in which Kenneth
plays leading part. On the whole, il
is the best story of series which is
known as the best for young people.
POEMS OF ROBERT BROWNING
His own selection with additions from
his latest works. Edited with biograph-
ical and critical introductons and
notes by Charlotte Porter and Helen A.
Clarke, editors of Poet Lore. 2 vols,
l2mo., portraits and illustrations, in
dex, ETC., cloth, gilt top, per set, SO.
These poems are selected from four
= N"' oOui S0o, -SupJeCtS ueIlNeu from
history, from personal experience and
biography, from true incidents, popu-
lar legends, the classics, and from his
own fertile imagination" The editors
of Poet Lore, knowing by wide ex-
perience, the exact amount of diff
Guilty which readers in general find in
disentangling the meaning of Brown
ing, especially in his dramatic mono-
logues, have with great skill formu-
lated series of explanatory notes adj
mirably adapted to cover these puzzling
questions which arise. "In making
the @3thetic part of the notes." they
say 1.-THE aim has been neither TO para
phrase, nor TO give comment about the
poems, but to epitomize the gist of each
one, or at most, where the poem de-
manded such treatment, to summarize
its leading traits and show its outcome"
The text has been scrupulously COM
pared with the authors own revised
readings of 1889, and may be relied
upon as the best, in fact the only edi-
ton of the selections in which the nu-
merous changes made by the poet have
been embodied. For school use and
particularly for clubs where the study
of Browning is pursued, this edition is
confidently recommended as ideal. The
Typography is perfect, the illustrations
are pertinent and attractive, and the
appearance of the volumes, leaves
nothing to be desired.
