GOT LEARY ALEX BELL DECLINED TO GO WITH ALBERT DAVIS TO
 LOOK FOR A JOB. Didn't Like the Idea of Going With Davis Down to the Shops
 Late in the Night.

Rolled in what is believed by the pol ce and others to have been an at- tempt to hold up and rob another ne gro, Albert Davis was Saturday morn ing fined $25 in Police Judge Toney's court for vagrancy, and he will now be kept out of mischief by the street commissioner for the next twenty-five days by working him on the city thor oughfares.
 Davis was arrested Friday night by Officer Hig2inbotham, and in making the arrest MT. Higginbotham prob ably saved some other man from get ting knocked in the head, is the belief of the police officials.
 Davis made his appearance in an up town saloon late in the evening, and there he met up with a jovial crowd of negroes who were drinking and spending their money quite free ly over the bar. Among the lot was one named Alex Bell, we'll dressed fellow who gave the appearance of being prosperous. Davis cultivated his acquaintance and shortly told him tn t the superintendent wanted to en- ploy two colored porters instanter, and urged Bell to accompany him down to the Cotton Belt shops at once and take one of the positions, which, he alleged could not be long held open. The superintendent, he claimed, had delegated to him the task of finding the two men to fill the bill.
 Fortunately for Bell perhaps he be- came leary of the neer0's talk. and hesitated about accompanying him. Finally Davis asl-ed him if he was afraid to go with him. Bell replied that he was and suspected tho new found acquaintarca of having some ugly design. Davis con inued to en- deavor to alay the mans fears, which only served to arouse them the more, and when Days finally left the sa- loGn. Bell followed him and meeting up with Officer Higginbotham related Il the circumstances quietly to the gen. tleman, who proceeded to arrest Da- wis and lock him up There being no proof available of. any evil de- signs, Days was fined for vagrancy, but he was given heavy fine for the offense.

SUIT TO RECOVER POSSESSION.

Dr. J. F. Simmons has filed suit' In the courts to gain possession of the building now occupied by Haney and Coleman as saloon The building is located at 312 Main street, and is owned by Dr. Simmons. The pro- prietors of the saloon are colored mon and have had possession for some time past. They recently made ap- plication to the city council for a re- newal of their saloon license at the same stand, which would seem to in- dicate that they do not intend to move unless forced to do so
 It is said Dr. Simmons has been trying to get them to move for some time, and failing to do so instituted suit to compel them.

sTANDtNG,JoKE
s~ -sFsSr<44 -Tv.. , the Delays of the Cotton Belt Trains.

AhA delays of passenger trains on
 .Cotton Belt have made that road
 sort of standing joke among the
 etious, and the matter has almost
 Ssed into a proverb. Many are the
 ries gold of the troubles along this e of late days, some of them, doubt S, with basis of some truthful : As. It is told of certain conduc-
 running out of Pine Bluff that on
 return trip from Texarkana his A in was stalled at a water tank
 ,ng the line somewhere, and tied up . several hours by one of those in-
 plicable delays incident to railway
 ,. Finally the train started onward ,ng it's tiresome journey northward, lep the conductor espied a tramp ldkn the porter had just elected pm the front cd of the train. Tn spirit of sarcasm, the conductor call to the tramp to jump on the rear i'd and take a berth on the Pullman. til::"Many thanks" replied tn tramp; alut I'm a hurry today, and prefer to raialk."
 But here is a new one:
 Down at Texarkana the other night ne of the showe at the opera house dvertised extensively the fact that
 
 i. head-on collision between Iron fountain and Cotton Belt passenger trains would be presented on the ytage of the opera house, one of the ,randest scenic effects ever produced Tn the American stag. Hundreds of people turned out to see the spec acular presenta ion. and the s. R. O pign was soon exhibited.
 After the lapse of reasonable ime, the curtain went up, and soon l heavy Iron MountaiA train rolled onto the stage. There it stopped. The audience waited patiently for the col L;sion. And still they waited. Finally becoming clamorous, after lapse Of half an hour, the stage manager had to make his appearance and explain that the Cotton Belt train was eleven hours late, and no collision could be produced that evening.

MADE AUDIENCE LAUGH.

"A Pair of Piaks" was presented to a very linn ted audience at the Elks theater last night. The auditors were kept in an uproar for the most part throughout the performance, but there was little in the play to com mend itself to the humorous or to the inte!l gent part of mans nature. As a pure farce, designed to make people laugh it succeeded very well with the small audience last night. but that is nll that can be said for it.

BETTORS LOSE
ON HORACE E.

The great Horace E.. with the accent
on the great. the much heralded western
champion 2-year-old OF the season. was
badly beaten at the track at Saratoga
yesterday afternoon by Conville. He
proved 10 be a false alarm instead OF a
wonder. and only managed 10 finish third
Because OF his many victories In the
West and on the strength Of some re-
cent fast half-nhle private dashes he was
made an odds m favorite at 2 to and
/ TO 3. At these prices his owner. r. A.
Rainey, and his brother. Paul J., bet a
small fortune on him. The colt cost the
former $50. O0O and as he was considered
TO be in a soft place they sought TO get
back some OF this prrcnase price by bet
ting heavily on him.
The Rainey agents were busily engaged
during the early part OF the speculation
and II Is reported that they bet $4,000
on the young3ter.
Conville nearly raced rings around his
field. He had TO run on the outside the
greater part OF the distance. but he won
easily without touch OF whip or spur.
Horace f. acted as the pacemaker and
led by a length and a half the first four
end half furlongs. with Purslane sec
ond and Conville third. In the run home
the latter closed fast on the leaders and
