THE WATER WORKS TO BE PURCHASED BY PITTSBURG CAP

BUILDING THE GAR LINE
Mr. Mckee Will Arrive About Satur- day.-TheIe is No Doubt of
 An Electric Line.

Thursday morning Mr. William s. Kuhn, general manager of the American Waterworks < Guarantee company of Pittsburg, Pa, A, M. Lynn, special agent for for the same company with heade at Pittsburg, and Mr. F. c. Armsbary, the company's superintendent with headquarters at Little Rock, ar- rived in Pine Bluff. TEey secured quarters at the Trulock, dined, and later drove to the waterworks and light plant in the western part of the city. They spent several hours at that place, viewing the different parts and thoroughly Investigating the plant throughout. They are going to buy it, and it will doubt less be very short while before the deal is corsummaied
 The object O. these capitalists is to join with Mr Mckee in con struct.rg the electric railway. They were but recently interested in the enterprise by Mr. Henry G. Wood, tbe Chicago attorney who has worked faithfully for the suc- cess of the line and who has at last succeeded.
 After the gentlemen viewed the big Pine Bluff enterprise, MT. Wood showed them oyer the city. They were much pressed with Pine Bluffs advantages, and they do not hesitate one moment to in- vest largely here.
 MT. Nick ee, of the firm of Lyon X Mckee, incorporation lawyers of Pittsburg, and who together with Col. s. W. Fordyce. is also largely interested in the Hot Springs street railway, will arrive in the city about Saturday. He will build the electric line, that has been settled. He comes to Pine Bluff principally to look over ard inspect the city He has never been in Pine Bluff, but has much confidence in her future and he has long kept an eye in this direction In hopes to make an investment.
 Pine Bluff has at last secured an electric line, it's construction is a certainty, and there is no guessing that it will be literally patronized. The prospects for Pine Bluffs fut- ure are very fattering and many capitalists seem very anxious of late to turn their attention to this section of the country

SUCCEEDED HIMSELF FOR THE FOURTH TIME AS
 GRAND CHANCELLOR.
GAY IS YICE-CHANCELLOR
Pine Bluff COIored Men Beat Him. Jones of Little Rock Defeats
 Fluker.

The third days session of the Colored Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Arkansas, was opened at the regular convening hour, g o'clock, Thursday morning.
 Grand Chancellor J. T. T. Warren presided and called for the reports of the various committees. All the reports were able ones and to the sApoints of their respective business. The entire day was taken up by the different committees in report ing. All the business of necessary and urgent importance was hurried ly carried out and disposed of.
 The most important part of the days proceedings was the election of the grand officers. The greatest battle of votes was indulged in by the delegates to elect Grand Chan cellor. There were two candidates, J. T. T. Warren, of Hot Springs, who has held that high and respon- siole office for three years, succeed ing himself on each occasion. He is a negro ofunusual intellect and has done much for the good and success of his order He is popular with bis race throughout the State, and is Sfavorably known throughout the United States.
 His only opponent was Forrest Gay, of Pine Bluff. Gay is every bit as popular aud universally known as Warren. He has been instru- mental in organizing numbers of lodges.in Arkansas, and stands hlgh with his brethren. He has done work for the Knights of Pythias that no other negro could aceom pllsh and besides he is well liked by the white people of this section. There was vigorous fight made against him by some coIored men of Pine Bluff. who favored Warren, of course, and their influence proved so great that Gay was defeated on the first ballot.
 After the election of Grand Chan cellor, a motion was made and sec. onded that Gay be elected Vice Grand Chancellor. He was honored with that position by exclamation.
 The next race of importance was for the office of Grand Prelate. The candidates were Prof. Edward Au. gustus. of New Lewisville, Dr. N. J. Hollis, of Althelmer, and Thomas Brown, of Helena. Browns name was dropped after the first ballot and Hollis was defeated on the sec ond.
 The contest for Grand Master Of Exchequer was a spirited as well as interesting one. The candidates
