TWO FIRE ALARMS
Sounded in This City Within Ten
 Minutes of Each Other

There were twa fire alarms sound ed in this city early Saturday morning within tan minutes of each other.
 The first was turned in from the extreme endof East Barraque street. The departments responded, but owing to the very long run, and the delay in sending lu the alalm, the four.room cottage, which was the doomed building. was a complete loss. It was occupied by negro named Gardner, who succeeded in saving all his household effects
 The cottage was the property of Mrs. John R. Fordyce and was val ued ct about $500. No insurance.
 While the fire boys were pro- tectng adjoining property at this point, another alarm came In from Elm and Second streets, nearly two miles from the first fire Truck No. 2 hurried to the last quarter,. but found only a burning fue

THROUGH TWO DOORS.
Will Senyafd Knocked sWitehman
 Haggard With Painful Results.

Late Saturday afternoon Will Seuyard hit a switehman named Haggard and the latter vent, head first, through the glass doors of Marcus Sonnensehein's saloon oa West Barraque street, Haggard's face aud hands were literally long slips of flesh and he lost probably a quart of blood.
 An eye witness related the cause of the affair to Graphic reporter. It was as follows; sSenyard aod Haggard, who was feeling very good, were in the Truloek saloon. Haggard kept after Senyard to fight but Senyard warned him repeatedly and finally walked to the opposite side of the street to escape the tol- menting, but Haggard followed him and just as he reached Sonnen sebeins saloon, be grabbed Senyard by the collar and drove 3 vicious right hand swing at senyard's head. The latter tucked and aimed | ter rife blow at Haggard It caught him OF the jaw and he was lifted off his feet and carried through the biz glass doors. You know the result z

SECURED BIG PLUM LEFT HANGING ON THE TREE
 BY BRlTTON.
AN Al RAILROAD MAN.
Other Changes Will Doubtless Follow, as is Customary
 Subordinates Tremble.

Notice was received at the Cottor Belt headquarters in Pine Bluff Saturday that Mf. R. H. Bowron, division superintendent of tte C6t= ton Belt road with headquarters in this city, had been appointed gen eral superintendent of the same road with headquarters at Tyler, Tex. He was named as the success. sor of Mir. F. H. Britton, formerly general superintendent, to general manager in place of Russell Hard. ing, who is now with the Missouri Pacific. The news of the appoint meut came in the shape of dis patch and it is to take effect at once. MT. Bowron returned from St, Louis Saturday morning and vas congratulated on every side for his merited promotion.
 M.r Britton's successor has been asu0jeet of considerable talk and speculation in railroad circles since the formers promotion. MT. Bow. ron has been looked upon as the logical selection, and the Graphic mentioned last Friday that he would surely secure the big plum. Mr. Britton, the reWly appointed gen. eral manager, has established head. quarters in St. Louis and is getting more thoroughly aequainted. with his responsible duties. From the Great Northern he came to the Cotton Belt and has made an envi- able record and has been very fort. unate fn climbing the adder of railroad fame. For a number of years he was with the L. 65 N road at different points and is quite well known in the south, especially is it 50 in Pine Bluff.
 Mir. Bowron is also from the Great Northern. He has only been a resident of Pine Bluff for a few months, but is well known ard highly esteemed. He succeeded F. s. Rawlins here, the latter being now connected with the Pee Gee at Pittsburg, Kan, in the same capae- ity. Mr. Bowron, as railroad man remarked to Graphic report CT recently, lis one of the few Al railroad men in this country. He has had years of experience and tbe big officials realize his ability, or they would not have given him such a responsible undertaking.
 A Graphic reporter was told Sat urday that other changes are t9 take place in ooth the Missouri Pa ci6c and Cotton Belt circles. This invariably happens wben there is a change in the general management of any road and it will surely hap pen in this instance. Russell Hard iag. when he accepted the genera managership of the Cotton Belt opened his knife and cut the heads of offieial right and left, and, wt believe he didn't leave even the sec tion foremen stand unmoIested.

BRYANT WITH0RtWS.
Says He Cannot Win for Governor
 and Cautiously Steps Aside.

Hon. Edgar E. Bryant, of Fort Smith, is Out of the race for Cover. nor. This announcement was given out by Mir. Bryant in the shape of a card Saturday. It read as follows:
 After careful consideration of the situation, I have come to the conclusion thas can not win the nomination. for governor and l here. by withdraw from the race. In doing so, l retire from the canvass without animcsity or i'll will to any one, aud with heart full Of grati= tude to my friends ,"
 Mr. Bryant is the brightest man in the State aLd he would have made Arkansas a fine Governor. Itis to be regretted that when a man, with the ability Of Edgar E. Bryant, presents himself for such proni. neat position, does not receive the proper encouragement. On the other hard, our people seem more than wiling to support man like Jeff Davis, who is looked upon as the weakest man that eyer present. ed himsel for that office.

Great Britain has not succeeded in
getting much help from the French
province in Canada The sentiment of
the people there is strongly anti-Brit-
ish and is we'll expressed in the follow
ing extract from an editorial In the
newspaper organ OF the Archbishop of
Quebec: Lift up your eyes, French
Canadians, for the day Of your redemp-
ton is at hand. You, beaten and con-
uuered by England, ever hated and OPP
pressed by the race unfriendly to you,
whose children are forced to speak the
tongue of their oppressors in the
schools of Manitoba, you shall at
length see the star of liberty rise for
you, and your rights respected by those
who have so long violated them" Sc

themselves and each other that there

THE BRITISH DISASTER.

The belief that General Warren's
easy capture of Spion Kop was a part
of the Boer strategy is borne out by the
subsequent rout of Warren's army. In
commenting upon the earlier Spion Kop
affair the Advertiser said that the
Beers may have scampered from their
trenches merely to give the British
troops false sense of security and
that later they would return in over
whelming numbers. They returned in
deed, and with such force and spirit
that Warren's 1000 men, though in
trenched on the rocky crest, were hurl-
ed backward and compelled to recross
the Tugela.
The affair revealed the Beers in a
new light. Hitherto theirs has been
defensive strategy and the British
dared them to come into the open.
They finally did so and victory seems
to have been gained as easily as it had
been when they were behind breaS-
works. They rushed the British
lines; they cleaned out the trenches,
leaving more than a regiment of Brit
ish dead within; they occupied Spion
Kop and did everything the occasion
called for except to annihilate the enc
my. Singularly enough Warren was
able to withdraw his demoralized men
in fair order.
1t may now be set down as reason
ably certain that the Boer position on
the Tugela is impregnable. What then?
What is to be expected in future?
There are several recourses for General
Butler. He may change his base as
Grant did on the James and attack the
| Beers in some other quarter. He may
stay where he is, thus holding the
Beers where they are-unless they
take the offensive again-until the
army now advancing upon the Orange
Free State menaces the burghers from
the southwest. General Lord Roberts
may undertake the chances of another
pitched battle at the Tugela. Still any

The war correspondent who wrote
that johannesburg could be safe
guarded by mounting guns on the vast
heaps OF mine tailings that loom up
IN the country outside may thank for
tune that he is never likely to find him
self among the defenders of such loose
jointed forts. A shell, particularly of
lyddite exploding on a heap of broken
rock would send the material flying In
all directions and thus make the place
u..tenable. Moreover the garrison's
guns could not find secure platforms on
shifting Stag. A great deal of amateur
military advice has been given to TIE
British Generals since the war in Nata
began-some OF which they seem Il
have taken-but none of it is mor'
diverting than that which asks then
to take post where the enemy's missiles
could start a whirlwino of sharp-edget
quartz.
