Two Prominent Young People Wed
 This Morning

This morning at 8 o'clock at the Catholic church, Mr. John A. Rose and Miss Wiilohimira Moser were joined in tLe holy bonds of wedlock, the Rev. J. M. Lucey officiating.
 The handsome edlfce was most beautifully decorated and long be- fore the appointed hour it was filled with the friends of the contracting parties.
 The wedding was known as a High Nuptlal Mass. The ceremony was impo3ing in it's nature, from the fact, that few are married by the High Nuptial Mass, as used ex cluslveiy throughout the North in the Catholic churches.
 Mr. Chas. Poma acted as best man and Miss Lena Moser, a sister of the bride, as maid of honor.

\ YOUNG WHITE BOY
Robs Two Residences and IS Finally
 Caught.

A young white boy about F years of age, well known about town and whose name we withhold from this item, owing to the disgrace it would bring upon his poor hard working mother, robbed a couple of Pine Bluff residences Tuesday. The young thief first entered the home of Night Watchman Chas. Roarity on Georgia street between Second and Third avenuee. He stole sill yer dollar and few cents from MT. Roarity's pants. He entered the room where Mir. Roarity sleeps through the window and also left through the same entrance. He then went to the home of Mir. Porter Boyd or south Cherry street and stole two gold rings valued at $20,
 He was caught in the act of sell ing the rings by MT. Roarity, who recognized them as his nephews property Mr. Roarity gave the little rascal a good lecture and also took him to his mother. She gave hin severe punishment for his deed.
 His mother is hard working woman and it is for this fact that we do not publish her wayward sons name.
 Here is an instance that goes to show how badly house of correc- tion is needed in this State.

season of the year aud particularly after so much rain the cotton stalk is weakened by decay, and the limbs thus weakened and filled with cotton cannot stand the added weight of lee and sleet; consequent ly when the thaw comes they settle to the ground which is now gener- ally from four to ten inches under water. The situation in the river country is bad and cannot be exag- gerated.
 A talk with the mule men in this market fails even to point to Q prep aration for an increased acreage; there are fewer mulesk here than for four seasons past and the knowing ones, those who furnish supplies to make the crop, say that very few mules will be brough Ehere. This means that the place made vacant by the old mule will not be filled by a1new one. Every vacancy of this kind causes an idle blow and less of ten bales of cotton. These are pointers that are we'll worth notic- ing at this tune as the planting season is approaching.
 Very truly yours,

 The extra freight southbound in charge of Conductor Farrar md Engineer Watkins had orders to meet passenger train No 222 at Atterson's Spur The crew was evidently asleep as no stop was made at the meeting point and the train was running at rapid rate of speed when, few niles beyond the switch, t crashed into the passen- ger train.
 Both engines were badly wrecked. The baggage car was completely teleseoped by the express car. Bag gageman Baker was caught In the wrecked car and terribly wounded.
 The two dead and the wounded were taken to Alexandria, where they were properly cared for.
 A relief train reached the scene at 10 o'clock and physicians looked after the slight injuries of the pas sengers.
