2oTH CENTURY DIRECTORY

The Ada ns- Wilson Printing Com pany take pleasure in announcing that it will soon begin work on a 20th Century Directory of the city of Pine Bluff, the same to be ready for delivery by January l, 1901, the first day of the 20th Century. Pine Bluff has never had a first class City Direc- tory, but the AdamsWilson Print ing Company will spare neither pains nor expense to make it's direc- tory first class and correct iI every respect and will guarantee it's com pleteness. Fine Bluff is grow ing and new people and new enterprises are locating here, but enumerators will not be started out to take a census of the city until the comple- tion of the Sawyers & Austin plant, which will bring new inhabitants to this. city. A city directory prior to that time would be practically worthless and out-of-date before it's delivery.
 With the beginine of the 10th Gen. tury there will be many new faces in Pine Bluff. and with these our city directory will make our old residents acquainted, and will give not only the names but addresses of all new corners, as we'll as old.
 Our Directory will fill long felt want in Pine Bluff and we believe that the enterprise will be apprecia- ted and patronized by our people.

DID NOT RETURN ID WORK
The City Exchange Gang Would Not
 Accept Powells Offer.

The City Exchange gang of the South western Telegraph & Tele- phone Co. (seven men) who struck Wednesda, afternoon because they had heard rumor about suppos- ed appointment, did not take ad- vantage of Manager Powell's lenient offer, to reconsider their mistake and return to work this morning. but in- stead used his telephone to inquire if they could get their "time"
 Of course they were not refused and later called, signed the pay roll, without word and went away.
 Manager Powell is employing men here in the city to fill their vacancies and the work will continue in liae- stringing as if nothing had happen. ed. Manager Powell is great be- lieyer in patron.z!ng home indus tries. He makes it practice to give employment to Pine Bluff people as far as his business will permit.

He carried out his plans, Ut least he was absent from the city for several weeks. He recently returned and applied to Mir. Chambers to be re- instated in his former position us night watchman. Mir. Chambers told him that he did not like to fire the man that succeeded him (Evans) when he went away, as he seemed to be an efficient employe, but told Evans that If he would have told him he was going to return, he would have held the position open for him. Nothing was thought Of the matter. until Wednesday night, when Evans killed Rochelle, doubt less of the opinion that he fRochelle) had done hlm for his job. Rochelle was foreman at the factory. man by the name of Collins held Evans place at the time of the murder.

ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM,
c. Smith as Much to Blame as the
 City Officials.

Wednesday the Graphic publish ed all item relatve to a great mis- take that the city officials had made in leasing and establishing a pest house in the heart of much popu- lated section of the city limits of Pine Bluff.
 The pest house is, as We have be- fore stated, entirely too close to many residences occupied by em- ployes of the Bluff City Lnm Der Go !, and it should be abolished at once.
 Wednesday afternoon the follow ing telegram was received in this city from Judge Carroll, of Little Rock:
 II positively forbid the use of my residence as pest house.
 t seems that G. Smiih, of this city held lease on Judge Carroll s old home and without consulting Judge Carroll, be leased it to the city for a pest house. Judge Carroll is right in protesting for the resi- dence, leased was formerly hls home stead and be looks upon the ma tier as piece of great gall on the part of the lessee.

"pUNCHED" 4 NEGRO.
A Railroad Conductor Goes Out of
 His Usual Line of Punching.

It is nothing unusual for a rall. road conductor to punch a ticket, but for one to punch negro, we think iI 9 rather singular happening.
 One of these very singular hap penings occurred on the north bound Iron Mountain passenger train Wednesday afternoon. A ne- gro of the the usual impudent age, boarded the train at Dumas. His ticket read for transportation to Tamo, but be insisted that be had purchased or called for a ticket to a station much farther from that point. The brass baton man, who happened to be that genial conduc- tor Waldrnp, tried to explain to the excited negro the facts In the case, but he would not listen to him. To add to that insult the negro began to curse out the conductor and rail- road company generally. He went too far and Mir. Waldrup gave his face good punching.
 At Tamo the negro quietly left the train with mind full of costly experience.

THE POOR HOUSE CONTRACT
Was Not Let Today-No biddels--
 New Law Doubtless the Cause.

Today (Thursday, January 25. 1900) was the time set by County Judge w. D. Jones for the letting, to some responsible, person of the contract for the poor house for the year 1900. For the past year, the poor house of Jefferson county was in charge of one man, selected by the county judge and who received a monthly salary of $25. This per- son, with the aid of the able paul. pets confined therein, raised vege- tables, etc, and saved the county much money by their clever meth ods of support.
 The con tract, which was to have been let today, was postponed un- til February 26, as there were no bids submitted to Judge Jones.
 The new contract provides, as 6 result of law passed by the last Legislature. that the poor house of each county should be let to the lowest responsible bidder. who will take charge of the same and reside therein, feed, e!othe and furnish medical attention to the inmates thereof.
 The successful bidder will be re. qulred to give bond with good se- curity to be approved by the Coun- ty court, conditioned for faithful compliance with his ontract, to be made payable to the county in penalty double the amount of the bid. All bids should be written and in the hands of tue County Judge or the County Court Clerk before Loon of the letting of such contract.

 This is not an unusual sigh. for an officer of the law to witness, as escaped conviets usually wear their stripes under citizens clothes.
 CuIpepper walked up to the prin- cipal of our story and unbuttoned his shirt. He did have on stripes, but gave rather truthful story of himself.
 He said he had been discharged from Gracie's farm, but the guard did not know he wore tie stripes away. He also said that his name was Galloway and that be was sent oyer the road from Little Rock for grand larceny.
 Galloway says he was not guilty of the crime. but was sentenced anyway.
 He was locked up to await furthur developments.

MURDERED S. E. EVANS BLOWS OUT c. L. ROCHELLE'S BRAINS
 FOR REVENGE.
AT THE SUPPER TABLE,
Dead Mans Brains Scattered Among the Eatables on the
 Table---In Custody.

$. E. Evans shot and instantly killed C. l.. Rochelle at the boa'ding house of Mrs. Hanlin, which is situ- ated in the estreme western suburbs of the city, Wednesday night. The weapon used by the murderer was a thirty-eight ealibre revolver. Both men are white.

 The Murder.

The Murder.
 Both men were employees of the St. Louis Slave Factory ia this city.
 They both boarded at the same boarding house where the murder, as stated above, occurred. There were five boarders at the table eating sup
 per. Three os that number were oc- eupying side seats at the table and Rochelle and Evans were seated at opposite ends. Nothing unusual oc cured during the meal hour to mar
 the pleasure of the repast until ai-
 most every one present had finished son to rise. He took his hat from the rack and walked toward the door, where the boarders usually make an exit from the dining room. Rochelle was seated at the end of the
 table nearest the door. As he step
 ped to the rear of RochelIe's chair,
 Evans drew his revolver and fired. The act was done so quick that those present hardly realized what
 happened.
 Alter plishing his purpose,
 Evans walked from the house into
 the darkness.
 A Panic.
 For several minutes the boarders created panic. Doctors were sum- moned, but the man died before 1 they reached him. The police were immediately notified and Chief Phil- pot with assistants hurried to the 1 place. They thought Evans had ID ade his escape, but 1t later develop ed that he had come up town and surrendered to Officer Brannon. He
 was immediately committed to jail
 without bond and refused to talk to a Graphic reporter or even discuss the matter to the Prosecuting Attor- ney or the Sheriff.
 The Death Wound.
 The ball which killed Rochelle en- tered the center of the skull and
 came out just over the left ear. His
 brains were spattered all over the table and over 6 number of the boarders. Rochelle aad Evans are single men.
 Owing to the conflicting reports afoat about the murder and the re- fusal of the murderer to talk, our
 reporter was unable to learn the real cause of the murder. The supposed Cause. MT. Chambers, the manager of the
 stave company, told Graphic re- porter the following story relative | to the men. He said few weeks Eago Evans gave up his position as -
