"A FINE NEW CHURCH
10 Be Erected in Future by the Catholics, the Cost Of Which Will Be S4O,000-.. Brief History Of Catholic Church in Pine Bluff,

$i90o0 Catholic church is one ol the many great improvements con templated for the city of Pine Bluff in the future.
 1t is not probable that the new structure will be erected soon. but such move is in contemplation. and the church will certainly be built. Present plans comprehend a macnif cent brick edifice to cost about s3O.- 0oo, but an additional S10G00 will probably be required to fit and fur nlsh the building complete. When built, it will be one of the finest structures of a public nature in all the city-a credit to the builders and an ornament to the city.
 The first Catholic church in Pine Bluff was built on East Pullen street lE lSoo It was located only two blocks from the river, and on the en- croachments of the river channel. the Ni''iNii "et9 IClilON Sl. IEo Olu DullU- ing is now to be sean on East Barra- que
 After the close of the civil war Mir scull of Hot Springs donated site for church on West Sixth ave- hue. This site is so feet wide by 416 feet deep. It was accepted by Bishop Fitzgerald. and in the absence of a pastor a bu lding committee. consist. ing of Judge D. W. Carroll, J. H. Scull and J. P Murphy, contracted for small church, costing S3.OOO. The old firm of Bell and Bocage received the contract and NJ. G.

MAN IF PARTS PRISONER WHO COULD SING rop THE EDIFlcATloN OF HIS
 FELLOWS. Could Put on the Gloves and Knock Out the Biggest Coons in
 the Calaboose.

The city calaboose entertained an accomplished prisoner Sunday in the person of man giving Il S name as E M. Owen. Owen was picked up by Officer Senyard for disturbing the peace of the glue peddler on Main street last Saturday, and was kept over until Monday morning to answer the charge in Police Judge Tonev's court
 While in the sereeant's $ office Satur- day night, half intoxicated, he be. gan to sing for the edification of those who happened 10 be louneine about the police station lobby, and they were amazed at the mans ability. One ballad after another was turned off with facility and ease of manner and expression that bespoke the stage at some former period of his life. and were sung in voice cultured and refined, although Owen appeared te be but tramp when brought into the station. Others were soon attracted by the sweet singing of the prisoner. and soon large audience had col. lected, and was entertained for an hour with the mans performance.
 When finally taken to the jail. the other prisoners including a number of negroes. held the customary kanga- TOO court over him, and decided that he needed whipping for singing so we'll, and proceeded to give it to him. Owen took his medicine bravely and without flinching: but when he was through with the ordeal he proposed the boxing gloves With some of the prisoners. A little negro first put them on with him, but Owen declined to fight him. saying that he was too small. Then a big, burly negro large enough to handle two such men as Owen put on the gloves. Almost be- fore the negro knew what was goine on, Owen landed him a blow about the head that knocked him clear out Of the ring. and the negro got up pull ing off the gloves.
 "I don't believe I wants to fight you. boss he said. laconically.
 Owen was discharged by Judge Toney Monday morning.

Just on time the visitors equalized,
