BANK STATEMENTS

The GRAPHIC publishes elsewhere the seniannual statement of the con- dition of the Merchants & Planters Bank; also the statement Of the con ditlon of the Citizens Bank at the close Of business December 31, 1897.
 These statements disclose whole some financial condition in this com- munity-a condition of prosperity that is not apparent 10 the casual observer, but nevertheless real.
 Tho individual deposits at these two public Repositories alone are something phenomenal. The aggre- gate deposits at Nj. x P. Bank are S4S7 ,3l9 9; the aggregate deposits of the Citizens Bank are $450, ,1459I, making q total aggregate of $937,- 4G5 14. In other words, there Is nearly million dollars on deposit at two of our local banks alone, with q third one to hear from.
 What city the size of Pine Bluff In! this State or in the South, for tha matter, can make better ffnancfaHH showing? When it is remembered that these deposits represent the private funds of local citizens, it will at once be apparent that the peoples of Pine Bluff are in a fairly prospert ous condition.
 These bank statements are credit to the institutions that make them and to their officers and managers and the people of Pine Bluff general iy. Through0gt the panic period of the last three or four years, when banks were failing throughout the United States, there were no bank failures in Pine Bluff, but our local banks stood financially as solid as the rocks of Gibralter. and through out that period never oppressed their customers, but helped and aided them.
 ---4t,, aIilisfs-qs .1sasav do at the first of 1tee4R this New Year. these bank state ments are most happy and anspi- cious, and indicate fair degree of general prosperity in this communi- ty throughout the year 1898.

 The fire had made considerable Roadway beforeit was discovered and the alarm turned in.
 The fire originated in the rear of C.. l.. Gresham s grocery establishment at No. 326 Main street and 109 West 1 avenue. The entire interior and roof were afame when the fire was discov- cred.
 For a while it seemed that the en- tire block would go, but the heroic work of the fire. boys and good snp- ply and pressure of water saved the dag.
 Three of Dr. Simmons store=rooms were completely gutted, but the walls were saved,
 Mir. G~esham's stock IS q total wercN rom llc aud water. We are informed that he has $1 ,000insurance

FURTHER PARTICULARS
Of Sunday Mornings Fire. Not a Drop of Water for Ten
 Minutes.

When the fire department arrived at the burning building on the cor ner of Fourth avenue and Main street Sunday morning they con nected three hose to plugs. For ten minutes they had to stand and wait for water, both fire and domestic water apparently being turned off. When the water came it was forced up to a 50-pound pressure. It re- mained there but a short while, the eompany's gauge showing that the three hose pulled the pressure down to 30 pounds.
 Only the stock of c. L. Gresham was destroyed. The fire had un- doubtedIy originated about the cen ter of this room. Mr. Gresham. car ried $500 insurance on his stock in the Tankersley. Roberts Go. He carried $400 on stock and $100 on fixtures in the Wells Agency. The stock and fixtures were entirely de stroyed. They were valued al $500.
 The two rooms destroyed were formerly occupied by J. M. Goza They were separated only by g wooden partition reaching to tho ceiling. Only the wood was de stroyed. The building was tho property of Dr. J. F. Simmons, ant was uninsured. His loss will be about $1. 1000.

THE STEAMER KAREN.

The steamer J. N. Harbin arrived from Memphis Saturday afternoon with a slight cargo of freight. This is the second trip of the Hafbin since last August, but Capt. Rowland an ticipates a good boating stage for this season and hereafter the Harbin will make regular trips.
 The return of the "old reliable'' Arkansas River Packet Co.,, to the river trade will be hailed with joy by our merchants. who are always op- pressed on the part of the railroads with high freight rates when the river is nnnavigable. The Packet Co. is Pine Bluffs only protection against excessive freight rates, and local shippers generally should do what they can to sustain the Arkan- sas River Packet Co.

CARGO Is CLEAR, THE OWENsBORO LAWYER IS PROMPTLY ACQUITTED. The Indictments Against Adams and Sutton Will Necessarily Be
 Dismissed.

Attorney Wilfred Carico, who was indicted by the Davless county, Kentucky, grand jury at Owensboro, on the charge of false swearing in making an affidavit against Com monweaIth Attorney J. E. Rowe, charging him with malfeasance in office, has been acquitted
 The indictments against Editor c. T. Sutton and Publisher w. o. Adams, of the Owensboro hqairer, charged with criminal libel for the publication of the same, | were demurred to by defendants attorney, and the demurrer sustain ed and the indictments thrown out of court Saturday morning.
 Tue Greensboro Messenger gives the following account of Carico's trial and acquittal
 The present term of the Daviess circuit court virtually closed Fri day, There was but little business transacted for tine day, the os!Y matter of any interest before the court being the prosecution against Wilfred Carieo, which had lost near ly all it's interest to the public, be- cause it was clearly seen on Thurs day that the prosecution was void of facts, and was going to prove a failure. The result was no surprise to anybody, aud was just as every body predicted it would be.
 "When court opened the remain ing witnesses for the commonwealth were examined. Mr. J. A, Lyddane testified to having read the Garieo affidavit; T. b. Karn testified that Garico swore to the affidavit before him, and the prosecution undertook to prove something about what Gray had said to MT. Taylor, but this was ruled out, and the prosecu- tion closed. There was not a wit ness introduced for the defense, nor was the case stated to the jury by the defense. When the common. wealth closed, the defense moved that the court peremptoriIy instruct to find for the defendant, which mo tion was sustained and the jury SC instructed. After the verdict was returned, Mir. Carico's friends con graduated him on his complete vim dication from the malicious charge brought against him. The iurymer went to him and shook him by tho hand, and expressed themselves 1T a way that it was clear to be seer that had they not been peremptorilJ Instructed they would not have beer over pair of minutes in getting back from their room with verdict of acquittal anyhow.
 'Thus ends one of the most out. rageous prosecutions which was ever on the docket of any criminal court.
