RIVER BANK STARTS
 GAZING IN AGAIN
Pine Bluff Property is Again En- dangered Hotel Jefferson is Now Believed to
 Be Safe.

Pine Bluff, Nov. 5.-The river bank directly back of the Knox block, at the foot of Chestnut street and in the rear of the Jefferson county court house be- gan caving again this morning and is sliding into the river at aft Chestnut street at rapid rate. So rapid, in fact, is the river undermining the river front at that point that the workmen there, who had placed a "dead man" in a large hole to hold one of the mammoth quib fascines placed along the wa ter's edge were carried in the water with a portion of the bank before another was finally placed in a safe location. This had to be placed in the ground 30 feet back from the present uncertain edge of the bank.
 Prompt action on the part of the crews of workmen in rapping the large ropes that hold many fascines around a nearby tele- graph pole, probably saved much of the temporary revetment work, which has been installed at the foot of Chestnut street the past several days.
 Hotel Jefferson is Saved.
 The caving in the rear of the Hotel Jefferson has been success fully checked and 1t is beleived that no further damage will re- suit there. More of the big warehouse of $. Bluthenthal x Co.,, at the foot of Pine street and the emaining part of the warehouse of K M. Kuox, at the foot af Chestnut street, tum- bled into the river early yester- day morning and other parts continue to give away as the bank caves,
 Big quib fasciues are being made and dropped into the river on thu river front as fast as human hands can work and they are proving most effective in some localities. Iu others they have utterly failed to hold the bank intact.
 No further caviug of the bank has resulted on East Court street, where Berlin's big stable stands. just few feet from the waters edge. Fascines placed there have done the work expected oi them and the falling river is aiding the engineers in theil efforts to stop the excavating which has been going on now more than II days.
 The river is apparently falling rapidly, although the current is still of considerable force.
