Baltimore 4 Ohio.

From time to time articles appear
In various papers about the so-called
"Hill control OF Baltimore & Ohio,
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
to be In progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
Ohio board. The details of these strug-
|gles are very interesting, but are open
Ito the criticism that they have no ex-
|1stence In fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore G Ohio, nor has he
lat any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction:
second. that there has at no time been
|any differences of opinion between Mr..
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
and third, that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore &
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
Il Is pretty well understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio, on the
theory that he could be Of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser, and
to this end he. with some of his
friends. purchased substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock Of the
company. This interest Is nowhere
near controlling interest, but is still
very large. 1t may be said without
fear Of contradiction. that there Is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore 4 Ohio
circles from top to bottom.

SKIPPO OUT
In Order to Avoid the Paying of City
 License and Also By Request.

Harry Lamont, the Hindoo Won der, who has been actually setting Pine Bluff wild for the past several days by his fortune telling, las skipped town. He was arrested Fri day afternoon for practicin2 without license; but several prominent citi- zens stood for his appearance to get the license and he was allowed to continue his business.
 Friday nigkt he quietly left town and he has not been seen since. Many say he is an up to.date worker" or, to be plain, fake. , Others say they would swear by him. He was locked up in jail at Ft. Smith several days ago for his skin game work, but by his promising to leave town and never to return again, was released.
 Another reason of the "hoodoo's7 sudden departure was a notice he received from several married men Friday afternoon that he must leave town within twentY-four hours. It seems the wives of the signers of tke notice which was sent to the so-caled wonder" had called on hm to learn something about their better halves and from the way the document is worded, it is supposed he told them little too much-hence his sudden departure.

4 NEW PLANT
To be Erected by the Pine Bluff
 Light and Water Company.

Mir. Frank G. Bridges, president of the Pine Bluff Water and Light Co. today informed Graphic reporter that they intended at an early date to erect q large brick gas plant in this city. The site for the new bulld- ing has not as yet been decided mon but it will probably be the same spot, where th2 old gas plan stands.
 The plant will have all modern inn proponents and new pipes will he planted all over the city.
 These new and better facilities will be of great convenience to the public as the present pipes are becoming weak from Use. The improvemtn nts to be made will also reduce the price of gas, thereby enabling all to enjoy it's use.

IN NCoLORADO-REPORTs ARE COMING IN FROM iSO-
 LATED DISTRICTS.
SNOWFALL TREMENDOUS.
It Sealed in Many Towns and Camps And Caused Much Suffering
 And Loss of Stock.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 19.-Reports of the blizzard are coming in from the isolated districts. The snow fall has been enormous.
 With the fear of starvation urging them on, every able-bodied man in the camps around Robinson on the snow-bound high line of the South Park railroad, went to work shovel ing out a road to the station q Pando on the Rio Grande.
 It was their only chance to secure supplies from LeadYille to relieve the Restitution now prevailing in the walled-in towns and villages.
 Yesterday morning seven men on snow shoes arrived in Leadyille from Kokomo. The tale they tell shows sufferla4, lack of food, feed and dy- ing stock.
 The snowshoers state that Koko- mo, Carbonville, Robinson, Climax and surrounding towns are entirely out of fresh meat, and the people, while not starving, are in serious straits. The lastof the sugar, bacon, butter and rice has disappeared. There still remains q small quantity fsof four and potatoes, but this is doled out sparingly. No fresh meat has been obtainable for the past three or four days. The cows along the track are too poor to cut up for meat.
 It was yesterday, when the call went cut and every available man began digging road from Rob- inson to Pando, which is station on the Rio Grande, nine miles dis tant. The snow is exceedingly deep and up to last night but little head way was made. The snow $ pack ing anu not more than two or three miles day can be cleared.
 The men who brought the news to Leadville from KokCmo were em- pIoyed at that point by the Iron Masque property. Foreman Spence ley, of the party of miners, states that all the mines have been shut down for lack of fuel and corrobor- ated the statement made of the all most total lack of provisions.

The fathem falls in with a thea acal manager, who says that he will introduce the son at private dinner patty to q number of chorus girls, passing them off as church concert singers, and the father is to k9ep in hiding to witness the fun. When ali are gathered an ex-leading lady Of the theater discovers that the good young man IS her fiance. When the fun is at It's height the minister and the mother of the yG ung man put in an appearance and there is a warm scene. lhe father emerges from his hiding place and denounces the mother for bringing up her son so rigidly, The ex-leading lady re- veals her ntity to her lover and all is forgiven.

 Emma Myrkle is one of Charlotte's s favorites and that she and Will Harder were among old friends last right was testified by the applause from the time the curtains rose.
 "The Little Sinner was the play, a pleasing comedy through which runs strain of pathos. As Ruby Beach, the little si. ner," Miss MYr. kle appeared to advantage and cap tured the audience. Will Harder, as the hired man on the ia m, acted his part we'll and Howard Benton made a very good conventional william Miss Leroy and Miss Dean acted very we'll the minor ladies' parts. But Miss Myrkle made the hit of the evening.
 A number of specialties were in troduced, and the dancing of Miss Mvrkle and MT. Harder particularly pleased the audience. Charlotte Evening News, Nov. 29, 1898.

A DISGRACE.

Chef Craig is an efic ent officer and is very prompt in plotting put all nusanees, but we doubt if he has ever had occasion to visit the postof1ice on Sunday during the de livery hours. There is a disgraceful scene enacted each Sabbath at this public place, and it matters not whether ladies are present. A crowd of ehoodlums' gather near the de- livery windows and take great pleas ure in pushing and pinching each other and several times we have seen fights result; but still there is Go action ta3en in the matter and each Sunday the row lyism grows more disgraceful. Tue postof1ice authorities should station an officer at tLis place every Sunday. Chief Craig is doubtless unaware of this r0wdyism aud we can vouch that by next Sunday it VII b.. entirely un- necessary for the P O. authorities to summons an officer, for Chief Craig will have one there and then we know the proper order W Il be main taned.
