BANK OF PINE BLUFF
Makes an Excellent Statement of
 It's Financial Condition.

We call the attention of our read CTS to the statement of the fnan cial condition of the Bank of Pine Buff at the close of business Decem Der 31, 1893. The Bank of Pine Bluff, although the youngest fuan- cial institution in the city, is one oI the most popular, and although lt7 deposits do not aggregate as much as either of the other two banks, itis the depository Of a large number oi small depositors, as well as several of the largest and weathiest busi- ness houses and manufacturing in- stitutions in the city.
 The popularity of this bank is largely due to the affable and courteous treatment of customers by Cashier w. D. Hearn and his as sistant, MT. J. w. Sanders. The other officers are J. M. Oracle, pres- ident; Jand J. B. York, vice-presi- dent.
 The deposits at this institution are $164, ,037. so. It's surplus and undivided profits are $26, 203. .69, which is an excellent showing con- sidering that the Bank of Pine Bluff was organized in 1889, and suffered mismanagement for the first two or three years of its his tory.
 It must be remembered, too, that this surplus has been accumulated during a period of great stringency, and at time when many older and wealthier banks throughout the country were forced to the wall as a result of the panic of 1893. With the panic period passed and the prospects ahead of the country for an unusual degree of prosperity, it is needless to say that it will nos be long, with the same progressive, conservative and cautious manage ment that has characterized it's past, until the surplus fund of the Bank of Pine Bluff will equal that of longer established institutions.
 We congratulate the Bank oi Pine Bluff upon the excellent show. ing it has made, and wish for its stockholders and officers a very prosperous new year.

DELEGATION LEAVESL LITTLE ROCK FOR WASHING
 TON, D. c.
FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Important Arkansas River Towns Represented By Delc-
 gatiOns.

A strong delegation left Little Rock at 8:25 last night for Wash ington, D. O., to appear before the congressional river and harbor com. mittee tomorrow in the interest ol an increased appropriation for the improvement of the Arkansas river. Included in the delegation are Judge W. 0. Radcliffe, Col. j. N. Smith ee and J. L. Fletcher of Little Rock, George Sengel of Fort Smith, Thos. Cox and Joseph Evans of Darda- nelle, J. E. Martin of Conway, May or D. 0. Bell and Capt. $. Geisreiter of Pine Bluff.
 All these gentlemen are fortified with facts and figures touching the feasibility of perfecting the nayiga- bility of the Arkansas river. and showing the immense farming and mercantile interests which would be benefited by the improvement.
 The Arkansas delegation will not be at all modest in their estimates of what it will cost to put the river in navlgable state all the year round. It is thought that at least 1000, 900 will be required for that purpose and the delegation will be able to show to what splendid pur- pose the money can be put in the in terest of the great waterways of commerce.
 Delegates from Kansas will be in Washington to co operate with the Arkansas delegation and urge an appropriation of sufficient size to accomplish tangible results. If en- ergy and determination can win, the delegation will make itself felt at the national capital.-Arkansas Gazette.

THF NEGRO WHO OUTRAGED MRS. BILLIARD NEAR
 MALVERN
CAPTURED HERE TUESDAY
By Deputy Constable Frank Stewart Negro Says He Came From
 Little Rock.

The black brute who is believed tC have so unmercitully beat and rap. ee Mrs. Price BulIard in the woods near Malvern on Wednesday, De cember 21 last, is now securely fas- tened behind the bars of the Jeffer- son county jail. He was arrested in this city Tuesday night by Deputy Constable Frank Stewart, who will receive a reward of $400 for his work, if it proves to be the right man.
 The negro, as is natural, denles the charge, but he answers the exact description as given by Mrs. Bullard few minutes after the ter rible affair. The authorities here are sure he is the right man. Con stable Stewart rang up City Mar shall Hall, at Malvern, this after noon and Mr. Hall suggested that the man be brought to Little ROCK in the morning and he would meet him there and carry him to Malvern. To this Prosecuting Attorney Sor- rells objected, as he was afraid the people of that city, who are so en- ragged ov r the affair, would not let the law J46e its proper course. MT. Sorrels then suggested that Mrs. Bullard meet them in Little Rock and identify the mann then he could be taken, Mr. Hall informed Mr. 5orreIls that the lady was still very weak aud unable to travel.
 Pictures of the negro were taken and will be sent to Malvern to be identified.
 The maa gave his. name as Will Price, but sometimes went by the name of Vii, Banks. He answers the description just as it was writ ten. He has the given weight. has the part between his teeth, wears the clothes described and tells a very weak tale.
 Mrs. BulIard was enroute to a neighbours when the brute accosted her, knocked her senselees and ac- compished his purpose. After she had recovered he made her promise never 10 say word about what had taken place and disappeared into the woods. Searching parties soon secured the vicinity but nothing was accomplished.
