 The watch was identified We'd nesday morning as the property of Mrs. c. E. Philpot, who before her marriage was Miss Nellie Barton. The watch was stolen about a year ago. and no clew to it's possessor had been found up to this time It is possible that the officers will be able to prove this case against him also, and land him in the penitentiary. Several purses were found on him also, and it is thought that he may be the negro who has been snatching purses from women on the street, and one of the Pine Bluff women who was attacked by a negro some time ago will be asked to view the prisoner, to identify him as the thief if poss ble.

 Messrs. Leo M. Andrews and w D Hearn. who, with County Judge E. T. kerwin, constitute the bridge commits the county courthouse at 3 o'clock. and the meeting did not adjourn until after 1, at which time a meeting of the hospital commissioners had been called, but the commissioners did not repsond, owing to the absence from the city of Isaac Dreyfus, one of the commissioners. They at once took up the discuss on of the work before them. and a communication was di- rected to Congressman Joe T. Robin son requesting the immediate passage Of the bill authorizing the construc- tion of the bridge across the river.
 The matter of advert sing for com retent engineers to superintend the work of construction was also taken up and this will probably be done.

TAME MARDl eRAs
Indoor Maskers Were the Only Ones
 Permitted.

Mardi Gras was very quiet in Pine Bluff last evening, the evening beng entirely free from the disgraceful scenes which have taken place in former years. Chief of Police Stew arts proclamation to the effect that persons would not be allowed about the streets masked seems to have had wholesome effect on any who might have been contemplating disturbing the peace, as not an arrest was made for disorderly conduct last evening. Drunks were few and far between, and none were arrested. The evening was celebrated by numerous private parties and at the roller skating rinks. but the festivities were without eX- ception orderly and clean.
 At neither the Casino nor the Pastime skating rinks were very large crowds present.
