ment of affairs is intrusted. He is q man of pleasing manners and appear. ance; man of ability and culture, His self-sacrificing nature is shown by the fact that he resigned a paving position as secretary of the Society for the Protection of the Italian Tmmi. grant, located in New York City in order to minister to the spiritual needs of the colony.
 That he is a good business man is shown by the fact that he bought fer the colony land at s15 per acre which cannot now be purchased for $50, and that. although the colony was found ed upon several thousand dollars in. debtedeness, they do not now owe a cent.
 Tontitown's remarkable progress will no doubt induce many Italian i'm migrants to make Arkansas their home, and already a plan similar to Corbin's has been made and a colony started at Rogers.

The Retail Merchants association held one of the best metings it has had in many months Tuesday evening ia the office of Secretary Guy Will Hams on Main street. Although the only business of much importanr that came up was not definitely dis posed of. in other respects the meet ing was eminently satisfactory.
 The attendance was much better than usual, several new members of the association who had never before attended meeting being present. Routine business Was disposed of as usual. and the reports of the collections made since last meeting were read. and showed that the col lections were larger than they had been for months, showing that Seere- tary Williams has been putting in some ahard licks" in this line

 The set of resolutions which had heen prepared by the committee in re- gard to some objectionable features of the jobbng business in Pine Bluff Were then read. A long discussion arose over the resolutions. and the members were unable to make any definite decision as 10 their disposal. so that this was laid over till the next meeting In the meantime the rembers will consider the resolutions. ard the matter will without doubt come to a vote. On account of the time consumed in the consideration of the resolutions the election of the delegates to the state convention was postponed till the next meeting.

Fayetteville, Ark, March 27.-An- other important step is being made in the progress of Tontitown, the little Italian village founded in the hills Of Washington county, seven years ago. It is the construction of magnificent though small, convent.
 The structure, when completed, Will be 5OX65 feet, three stories in height and modern in every respect. It will cost $5,OOO As soon as the building is finished it will be placed in charge of four Catholic sisters, one of whom will act as matron, and the others as teachers.
 Father Bondini, who has charge of the colony, has also purchased eighty acres of adjoining land, upon which a lime quarry will be opened, and lime kiln put in operation.
 This new project in regard to the lime quarry, however, is no doubt intended to give employment to those colonists who are in the habit of seek

Tuesday evening at the Casino skating rink Champion Chick Wal worth gave his second exhibition of trick and fancy skating. and made a bigger hit than he did Monday even ing. He showed himself to be a mas te' of intricate figures, and also per formed many little feats which look ed easy, but which indicate that he is a real expert on rollers.
 The attendance at the rink was bet ter than on the preceding night, and a large number were there to see the trick skating who did not skate them selves The Elks theater orchestra played throughout the evening, and erlivened' the occasion with several lively selections. Walsworth will be the attraction at the rink every night this week, and the orchestra will also be there every evening.

Berry was way ahead of Davis, and Bob" Rogers had the pole in the race for governor. A large number of voters were expected to come ill at this ward, where interest is always great, and d large vote is usually brought out by any election.
 Weather Kept Many at Home.
 At the court of Justice Knox, where residents of Naugine ownship who do not live inside the city limits of Pine Bluff Were expected to have their say in the matter, only twenty-seven votes had been deposited in the ballot box at II o'clock. The cause for this Was said to be the rainy weather, which many of those who lived in the country did not care to face for the privilege of voting. In the county pri maries 150 votes had been boiled at this place by noon, and interest was intense. Rogers, Berry and Riddiek were said, to have received large majority of the vote cast here
 At the Third ward polls at Wells barn the vote was very light, accord. ing to the general rule Up to 1:3O in the afternoon only TO votes had been cast, and the total vote of the ward is between four and five hum dred usually, this being the largest ward in the city. The general senti- ment favored Berry, but in the fight between Little and Rogers there had not been much choice expressed.
 At the cotton scales on Barraoue street. where the Fourth ward citizen, voted the division of sentiment be- tween Berry and Davis was more even. Little was said to be doino the best for governor, while Seyiers name was not mentioned at all. Al 1:3O an even hundred votes had been boiled, while 196 Were boiled last election. This was light, but was q better average than the other districts i were making.

SPECTATORS HAD
 NARROW ESCAPE
Guy Rope Breaks While lnfatinq Balloon and Pole Falls Amonu
 CroWd-No Ascension.

On account of high wind which re- fused to go down with the sun, as the wind is supposed to do, and num- |erous other accidents, the balloon Tuesday afternoon failed to take place. A fair-siZed crowd was pres ent, and every effort to get the bal Icon in shape to inflate it was made, but the wind made it a dangerous pro- ceeding, and it finally had to be aba.l- dened. IVY
 When the last attempt was made those assisting in the work had a very narrow escape from serious injury. One of the guy ropes supporting the poles on which the bag was hung broke, and the pole fell straight through the middle of the crowd Luckily no one was struck, although a couple of boys were penned under the big balloon for moment and badly scared
 Manager Drake told a Graphic re- porter Tuesday evening that he in- tended to give the ascension if the weather would permit him. He has rot settled on another date as yet, but will probably do so soon. He also stated that those who left Tuesday afternoon without waiting to get their 1uopev refunded could get it by calling on him or Treasurer Cohn at any time The money was paid out Tues oav evening as soon as it had been decided fully to call it off, but many had already made a rush for the gate. and failed to get theirs.

4 LIGHT VOTE
 WAS PoLLED
Bad Weather Kept Many Away From the Polls Wednesday. Berry Believed to Be in Lead Over Davis. Close Contest Between Little and Rogers.

From all indications. and the gen. eral talk floating about the polling places this morning, Senator James II Berry had his opponent, Governor jeff Davis, beat a @city block At none of the polling places was it thought that Davis was running at all strong, and Pine Bluff will do what i can to put Davis out of the run hing. On the other hand, many who voted for Berry were so open i'll their axowal of his candidacy that they hardly took the trouble to go into the polling to mark their bal lots.
 Very Light Vote.
 The vote all over the city was very light on account of the rainy weather and the fact that there is never so as there is in the county primaries. At none of the polling.places was there any indication that heavy vote was to be boiled. and at all of them the voting Wednesday morning was the lightest that it has been for many elections.
 At the First ward polls in Justice Culpeppers court on Barraque street only thirty-six votes had been cast at 1 o'clock this morning. The polling place was formerly at the Brookhill hctel, and it had been announced for this election. The fact that some did not know this, and also that it was toe far for many to come, kept the voting down. It was expected that his number would be materially in creased at noon. when a large number would vote during the dinner-hour. but ii was not expected that the vote ould be nearly as heavy as usual.
