NEW RAILROAD
Southern Development Company Will Com mence Actual Work of Construction on Line at 0nce---WiII Extend Both North and South of City.

According to reports emanating ng from the highest source. actual work of construction will begin ill a very short while upon the new line of railway through this city by the Southern Development company.
 The further and still more inter. csting claim is made that the com. Tany will not only build south of Pine Bluff, but will at the same time commence operations on T northern extension of the line to a connection with the Rock Island railway
 President Parker of the Southern Development company left Tuesday night for New York. and could not be seen for confirmation or denia! of the report: but 1t is said on v outside that Mir Parker confirmed the report before he departed. He will remain in New York about a week, and it is even intimated that his present trip has close connection with the commencing of actual work on the new project. It is stated authoritatively that the company pro- noting the road has secured ample financial backing for the project. and that the promoters are ready in detail for beginning the work of constrnc- tion Immediately after Mr. Parller's return from New York.

ment in the Graphic of Tusday that there would be no one present at the banquet this evening but those Longs and Shorts who secured at teast one member during the contest. the board of directors, and representatives of the press and other associations. This does not mean that the general public will not be admitted 10 the gallery. They will be, and are cor dially invited to come and occupy the seats which will be provided for them there and witness the astronomical feats being performed below.
 Several visitors from out.of.town are expected to be present at the ban. quet, most of them being officers of the various associations in the state outside of Pine Bluff Among them Wlil=be w. R. Stitch, secretary at HoXie, and formerly membership sec. retary here; James Congdon, secre ;. $, sistant secretary at Texarkana; s. w. Moore. secretary at Argenta. and Vim. Stader who has charge of the branch of the association located at Fair Oaks.
 The entire company will be served by the ladies whose names were pub- iished i'll the Graphic Tuesday even- ing. and after the appetite of the company has been satisfied the Ia. dies themselves will be served by the Longs. Capt. Dunkum will act in the capacity of head waiter. and his de- feated cohorts will "wrastle hash" with all the grace possible

nation tbat the tip Was given out two or three days ago to the effect that the company was about to start work on the road. and that MoutieeI= 10 would certainly be the southern terminus.
 From local sources Wednesday, il vas aseertainea that the northern terminus will be Ionokc. where the new line will connect with the great Rock Island system
 The company proposes to build it's own bridge across the Arkansas riv- eH, according to local reports; and Will select site just above the big tend in the river north of the city There is a rnmor 10 the effect that tha company would seek passage oyee he new bridge proposed to be H"ilt by this county. but this could not be verified
 It is stated on good authority that the Southern Development company some time ago endeavored to pur. chase the charter of the Pine Bluff North and South railway company. and negotiations are said to have proceeded only so far as the sugges ton of price. after which the matter dropped, as the North and South peo- pie showed no disposition whatever t6 sell. The latter company. it will be remembered, is the one which se- cured the right tof-way across the free bridge which is to be built here.
