 The Jefferson County Fatr opened Yesterday under most favorable auspices. The day was cloudy in the first part of the day. but cleared of in the afternoon, making a beau tiful day. Owing to the unwilling, ness of the race horse owners to al, low their horses to parade the streets the morning procession was not held
 The Governor and staff, with many other visitors, and the Second Regiment Band, came down from Little Rock on the morning Valley train.
 The special from Camden came in at noon, by which time the city was filled with visitors.
 The splendid band from Little Rock paraded the streets Of the city, playing numerous pieces.
 The streets were a scene of actiy- ity, and Pine Bluff had more ani- mated appearance than she has had for a mum Der of years
 About noon the officers of the Jef- ferson County Fair Association, the State officers and the distinguished visitors proceeded to the Fair grounds

ence was a little Slow la arftVfhgi but what they lacked in promptness they made up in enthusiasm The program was billed to begin at noon, but on account of the small audience present at that hour the speaking did not commence until two hours later. From to 3 o'clock the peo. pit Hooked to the Fair grounds in great numbers, and for sometime there was q perfect crush at the gate. The park was not long in fill ing up after o'clock, however, and the speakers were heard by g fair sized audience.
 The speech-making concluded, then came the races. which proved very thrilling and exciting In this connection an event hap pened that was not on the program, and which both thrilled and terrified the audience It was in the 2:40 trotting race that Hargrove a racer belonging to Mr J. NJ Fer guson, of Lake Dick, became impa- tient q. the delay in starting and kicked its driver from the suIkey and succeed in breaking away from the driver The frightened animal ran around the traeG kicking and jumping at frightful rate, and for q time it seemed he runaway ami nal would collide with some of the other racers, and for time the greatest alarm and excitement pre- vailed, but finally the runaway ami mat was captured and taken from the track. This was the only inei- dent that happened throughout the day to mar the pleasure of the oc- casion.
 The exhibits in all departments are complete aud were the admira- tiol and wonder Of all beholders. Floral Hall and the Poultry exhibit are especially attractive, and excited universal expressions of pleasure and qualification. In fact it was the universal expression of all, both visitors apd citizens, that the Fair Is a credit to Jefferson county and the finest thing of it's kind ever seen in tho State.

ANOTHER GAY BIRD.
High Living Causes a Trusted En-
pIoye's Downfall.

Kansas City, No.. April Cd. II. AL
drich, for several years cashier and pay
master in this city of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis railroad, was ar
rested in his lawyers Office here yesterday
afternoon charged with embezzling $27,-
OOO OF the compsny's money.
He quietly submitted to arrest and says
he will plead guilty and throw himself
on the mercy of the court.
Aldrich's stealinRs have been carried
on for eight years. The company does not
know exactly how much he is short and
has only his word that $4,000 is the
amount. An expert examination of his
books, which is now in progress, may, it
is stated, swell the total.
Aldrich's downfall was caused by liv-
ing beyond his means. He was promi-
nent in business circles and his wife was
u leader in society.
Aldrich is 40 years of age. He came
here twenty-one years ago and for
eighteen years has been trusted empl BYE
of the road.
1t is not believed that bail will be al
lowed him. Aldrich's home is mortgaged
for all it is worth and he is penni!ess.
