f0RDYCE IN TOWN, NOT THE COLONEL, BUT HIS SON. Comes to See About the Prospects
 for An Electric Street
 Railway.

Mr. l. R. Fordyce, son of Col. $. w Fordyce, the great railroad mag nate and President of the Cotton Belt Railway, arrived in the city this morning Young Mir. Fordyce rep resents his father and is here to look over the opportunities for profitable investment offered by our city. in the way of an electric railway system.
 Col. Fordyce is largely interested in the Farmers Loan and Trust Co.,, of St. Louis, which recently pur- chased the street ear line of this city at foreclosure sale, and Col. For dyce has sent his son here to look over the situation with view of converting the horse-car line into an electric street railway system.
 This afternoon young Mr. For .dyce is being driven over the city by Mir J. B. Truloek, and during his drive our visitor will be given an op- portunity to form some definite idea of the size and magnitude of Pine Bluff, which we hope, will sufficient ly impress itself upon him that an electric street railway would prove very profitable investment.

A YOSEMITE RAILROAD.
The Oft Talked of Project at Last to Be
 Carried Out.

The Oft Talked of Project at Last to Re
 Carried Out.
 The often proposed aud much opposed project of a railroad into the Yosemite valley is about to be carried out. The Yosemite Valley and Merced Railway company was incorporated in San Fran cisco last week with capital of $1 ,500, 900, of which $90, GOO was subscribed, and the incorporators promise to begin work on the railroad at once and push it to completion as quickly as the con- tractors can do the work.
 There have been many propositions to build such road, but every suggestion has been received with storm of pro- tests. The usual ground of protest has been that a railroad would destroy the beauty of the region and be an agent for vandalism. The later schemes have been for an electric railroad, the argument being that such road would possess none of the objectionable featuass of 8 steam railroad. None of the former schemes took practical shape. There seems no doubt that the present project will go through, and the road will be g regular standard gauge steam railroad. Surveys were made year or more since by company which proposed to build an electric road, and these surveys have been purchased by the new company.
 The Yosemite Valley road will begin at Meroed, which is on the line of tho Southern Pacific railroad, and is now the starting place for the stages running into the Yosemite. and will run direct ly to the Merced river at Smelling, dis tance of about ten miles. From Smelling the road will run through the canyon of the Merced river for the remainder of it's length, some 70 miles, terminating at point 1a miles from the entrance to the Yosemite National park. The scenery through the canyon is especially fine, and in some parts is as grand as any in California. The railroad will run through some rich mining districts and will depend for it's profits as much on it's freight as it's passenger business. It will run also near rich quarries of mar. bic, lime and granite and forests of sug- ar pine and other timber, all of which. it is expected, will produce business.
 The incorporators are we'll known tt San Francisco capitalists. The president of the road says final location survey will be made soon, and the work of grading the roadbed will be begun early the coming summer. It is expected that the road will increase very greatly the number of sightseers in the Yosem- ite. The present means of reaching the valley make the trip slow and ex- pensive. while the railroad will make it quick and comparatively cheap Ev- cry consideration will be given in lay ing out the route to the scenic sur roundings New York Sun

New York Street That Is In Perpetual

New York Street That Is In Perpetual
 Motion.
 A section of Twenty sixth street. New York, daily enjoys sensations similar to those caused by constant succession of earthquake shocks. Everything in the vicinity trembles as if suffering from a mild attack of the ague. It is really per petual motion.
 There is a clubhouse in this section, right in the center of the trembling dis. trict. A recent visitor, one who had not been there before. noticed that objects on the mantel or elsewhere always moved slightly, and that he himself felt strange vibration.
 The friend with whom he was dining laughed at his uneasiness. "It's always that way here" he said "It's only 8 little shake, perhaps the hundredth part of an inch, but it's perpetual. Some day I fear the building will shake to pieces all at once. just like the .won. derful one hoss shay. The oausef Oh, it's that electric light plant opposite engines and dynamos running all the time. Enough steam power is exerted to blow the block to Jericho-enough electricity generated to light square mile brilliantly every night. All the houses around here shake.
 1T remember when this block was 6 most exclusive residential neighborhood. Now at least half of it--the half that shakes most--is given over to small shops and cheap theatrical boarding houses. There's one pleasant aspect, however, to this vibration"
 Then the clubman performed pleas. ing experiment. He requested the cater. or to bring him glass of milk. some rum, ice and sugar. These he blended, after which he placed the glass upon the window sill. In three minutes, Il said the clubman. Lit will be a perfect milk shake.
 It was no congregation. The vibration, though annoying, at least supplied one want. New York World.
