CREST OF BIC FLOOD NOT FAR 0FF

Cincinnati, March 17.-With a stage of 61 feet at o'clock this it was believed that the crest of the big Ohio river flood was not far away. Forecaster Bass Ter has placed the probable crest at not less than 63 feet, but his es- inmates anticipated its arrival some time tomorrow afternoon.
 The city suffered loss of about $15O,000 early in the day by the collapsing of the Eighth street via duct over the Mill creek section of the city. Three 5O-foot spans of this yiaduct went down into the flood, but the high water is not be- lieved to have been the sole cause of the disaster.
 Fortunately the accident oc- cured at an hour when there was no one on the bridge, or there would have been heavy loss of life, as this is the main thorougfare be- tween the center of the city and the West End.

$. $, BROWN ARRIVES

known to almost every river man on the Mississippi and its tributaries. He gave everybody the "glad hand" and his assistant also made an invit- ing noise like hospitality.
 The Brown will get away on the return trip tomorrow. Her crew will probably finish their work of loading cotton before morning, notwithstand- ing the fact that more than three thousand bales of the fleecy staple are to be placed aboard her.
 Tonight the local society folk will be entertained on the boat by Cap tain and Mrs. Edward Rowland Jr. The affair will be largely attended and promises to be one of the most delightful "river functions ever giv- en here.
 The list of passengers, as far as ob- tainable, who came to this city today on the steamer, follows:

A STATEmEn nT
RHODES-HAyERTY FURN. co.

It is quite hard to make sales with broken stock, as We could not fit out a room, so in order to make our present stock move, we were forced to buy few more goods with which to fill out, therefore, we have bought two or three cars of nice new, up-to- date goods to fill in with, which makes our stock very complete. They will arrive in two or three days, and these goods will be sold cheap, with scarce ly any profit, as we are not expecting to make any money. Our object is to get our stock down to $3,0OO or $4,OO0 of strictly staple goods, then it will be easy to lump it to some one.
 Our 9x12 rugs have just arrived, and we have a big stock and fine as- sortment, and they go on sale at the same low prices as we have been closing out under; that is, $17.5O for the 9x12 Administers, $16.5O for 9x12 velvets, 9x12 genuine wilton rugs, $23.50 and Brussels at $11 and $13.5O. We have a nice line of medium priced portiers just received. All goods are marked in plain figures.
 We will also extend few months credit to those who want it, as we expect to be here several months, un- til we can get building at our new location ::

J. L. Fox, for more than twenty one years a conductor on the Cot ton Belt road out of this city, died at his home, No. 1902 West Fifth avenue, yesterday, after an illness of several months. He was s years old and was we'll and favor ably known over the entire Cotton Belt system. His death was un- expected, notwithstanding the fact that he has been in declining healt, for several months.
 MT. Fox suffered relapse Sat- ur9Ay night and physicians were called in and attended him almost continually until his death.
 Conductor Fox leaves five chill dren, Mrs. William Bishop, Mrs. Williams, Joe Fox and two .lnmar- ried daughters.

PindaII Elected Over Bernhardi;
 Many Negroes Voted, lt Is Said

X. O. Pindall of Arkansas City has been elected state senator for the Seventeenth district, composed of De- sha and Drew counties, by a majority of between $50 and 400 votes over his opponent, Jack Bernhardt of Dumas. It is charged by Bernhardt supporters that Pindall men voted many negroes in Desha county; that more votes were cast at some of the polling places than ever recorded before.
 With three townships, Mississippi, Richland and Jefferson, ill Desha missing, Pindall's majority is approx imately $50 votes. The votes of the three townships cannot materially change the majority for Pindall ill this county. Pindall carried Arkansas City by 245 majority, and Bernhardt carried Randolph township, in which Dumas is situated, by Ill majority.
 Returns have been received from all but three townships in Drew county, and on the face of them Pin dall has 10 majority in the county. The three missing townships do not poll more than a hundred votes. The town of Monticello, the county seat of Drew county, gave Pindall 16 major ity over Bernhardt. Friends of Bern hardt concede that he has been de- feated.

BY MIR. D. LEE, SECY. & MGR.

I am asked several times a day, When are you going out of busi- aess?" "When are you going to lea aTe?" "We thought you all were go- i2k Ito close up January 1st,' etc. etc.
 Tn order that the public may un- |derstand our aims, etc., I wish to state that it is positive fact that we are going out of the furniture business in Pine Bluff. At the time we started our sale, we fully hoped to get things wound up by March 1st, but it is not worth of goods, to the last stick, in -four months; still we hatdly expected Ito do this. We intended to get the stock down to $6,O00 or $S,O00 and then sell it in a lump or ship it. However, as we could not lump it, last month I made a trip to few Ecities, in which we expected to open store, looking for location, and if could have found vacant store, we would have shipped our present stock, but could not get house for a few months. so there was nothing to do put to come back and dispose of this
 tock. AS we had sold our building,
 Q give possession March 1st, we were
 compelled to move, and you will find
 now located in the new Simmons
 tlding on Sixth and Main.

N. F. GREEN 1tEkvES THE COTTON BELT

Local railroad employees and others were surprised yesterday to 1 earn that M Sweeney, of Fort Worth, Tex as, vice president and general man. ager of the Trinity and Brazos Valley, had resigned his position, effective April 1, and w. ID. Green, vice presi- dent and general superintendent of the Cotton Belt, has been named as his successor. At the time Mir. Sween- ey's plans are not known nor is it known who will fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mir. Green.
 Mr. Sweeney's resignation does not come as complete surprise, as some time ago rumors were afloat to that effect, especially when w. c. Nixon resigned from the Santa Fe to take up duties with the Yoakum interests. Tt has also been stated that Mr. Sweeney intended severing his con- nection with the Texas end of the property
 MT. Green is one of the best known railroad men in the country, having gained fame when he so ably handled the terminals at Chicago during the Worlds Fair, but it has been in Tex as while connected with the Cotton Belt that he has done his greatest work

While cannons were being fired and several hundred persons waved hand kerchiefs welcoming her, the man. moth packet s. s. Brown steamed into the local landing at noon today from M&mphis and immediately after 'ty- ing up" at the foot of West Court street, just in the rear of the Hotel Jefferson, her crew of forty "roust- ers' began loading the three thous- and bales of cotton, which the steam CT is to take to Memphis tomorrow.
 The arrival of the Brown was most suspicious and when her familiar old whistles were blown as she turned her nose west around the curve, a mile below the city, crowds of inter- ested persons lined the river bank for nearly a mile. As she came nearer, Captain Leon Levey and Manager C.. B. Philpot of the Pine Bluff, Arkan- sas River Packet Company, fired a salute from large cannon, which was taken to the boat landing this morning for that purpose.
 A large number of Pine Bluffians were aboard the steamer. They went to Arkansas City yesterday morning via rail and took the packet for this place. When the Brown came into the local harbor her upper deck was crowded with men, women and chil- dren and as they waved their hand keEchiefs at the welcoming crowd on laf,l, and the band on the lower floor played national airs, it presented an Inspiring scene.
 { The Brown is in command of Cap tain F. M. Ryan. Captain Ed Now land ST. and Captain Ed Rowland Jr. were also aboard her. In her office was happy Joe" Postal, who is

 IN LOUISVILLE

Louisville, Ky, March 17.-Al- though the river is not expected to equal the stage reported in Jan- uary. it has already duplicated a part of the damage done two months ago. During the past three days 300 families, residing on the "point," have been driven from their homes.
 This second strain on their fi nances has caused considerable dis tress, but all are being properly cared for. It is expected that the short of the maximum stage reach- ed during the January flood.

 Pittsburg, March 17-With eigh- ty miles of ice in the Allegheny river aDove Parker, Pa., and dr1v- ing rain throughout western Penn sylvania tonight, local river men are looking forward to another flood stage in this city. Although the Monongahela and the Ohio rivers are slowly falling, the AL legheny river is stationary.
 The stage tonight: Davis Island, 14.6; Herrs Island, 16.9; Market street, 14.4.

ity and Brazos Valley, the Fort Worth and Denver, the Rock Island and the Frisco have close business contracts with each other, the appointment of MT. Green will in no manner touch the officials of other roads at this time.
 News of the resignation of General Superintendent w. E. Green of the Cotton Belt naturally created consid- erable interest in the local offices and yards.
 The going of a head official as in this case, and the coming in of a ne w superintendent sometimes means q great shaking up all along the line Every man has his favorites to "take care of" and this usually reans that several heads of the older force must fall.
 No very great fears are entertain ed in the present instance. but still no one is able to say what will or what will not happen.
 MT. Green is recognized as about the best all round railroad man in the country. He worked his way up from the ranks in Illinois, and is said to be perfectly familiar with every detail of railroad business. He has been frequent visitor in Pine Bluff and is unusually popular here both in railroad and other circles.
