Much routine busness was dis posed of at the regular meeting of the City Council Monday night. Many mattere were discussed one of them being the establishment of q new boat landing at this point to take the place of the old landing which vas swept away by the Arkansas riy- CT some months ago. Mayor Toney stated that Steamer Mary Lucas re- gently brought 900 tons of seed, ,403 bales Of cotton and other freight to Pine Bluff and had no place to un- load it, being finally compelled to un- load the boat in the Eastern suburbs of the city to the inconvenience Of the business people and others.
 Alderman Will Nichol reported many of the streets ill bad condition and cross questioned City Engineer Parkes as to why he did not see to it that the streets were replaced after being torn up by the Pine Bluff Corporation and Citizens Light and Transit Company. He reported South Main street in an almost impossible condition. West Fifth avenue and Oak street impas~ sable and referred to a nuisance maintained by the Pine Bluff Corpor- ation i'll permitting it's reservoir to leak and cause West Fifth avenue to be full of stagnant water. The pave1 and unpaved streets were torn up, he said, and never properly replaced. He asked City Engineer Parkes why these streets had not been properly repaired and propounded other ques- tions to that city official for expla- nation.
 City Engineer Parkes admitted that South Main street was in a horrible condition; that he had taken the mat ter up with the Transit Company anti that he would continue to urge them to finish their work He said he wanted the Council to give him the authority to repair all the streets of the city. as well as the paved streets, and that unless he was given full authority there would be further con- Dlaint along this line. The matter was finally settled by the Council or oering the City Engineer to repair the streets at the expense of the con- struction company which left them in had condition. Chief of police Stewart was instructed to order the Pine Bluff Corporation to abate the nuisance on West Fifth avenue at once. The city teams were also or dered into service on that street to free it of its waste water. Alderman Nichol declared that there were holes in streets in the Western part of the citv where carriages "went ill up to fine hubs. In many instances the men who take up the streets, throw the dirt in loosely and place danger signs in them and leave them in that condition.
 Alderman Jordan called the atten- t,on of the City Engineer to the stumps being left in concrete walks in the downtown districts by the

NIGHT Rider Trial is Slow.

Whyerly. Tenn.-Following sup
pressed excitement attending prelim-
mary proceedings to the trial OF the
alleged night riders confined in the
iail. trouble broke out Monday after
court convened, resulting in clashes
between state soldiers sent to guard
the property and the prisoners, ana
three sympathizers of the alleged
night riders. Bayonets were drawn,
but order was restored when several
crowds were dispersed. Prosecuting
Attorney Bowman created sensa-
ton when ne openly urged the neces-
sity for speedy trials, claiming that
he had information that an attempt
would be made to liherate the prison
ers by force in event they were not
exonarated of charges growing out
of recent outrages on property ana
persons engaged in tobacco and pea
nut industry. Little Roadway was
made in the selection of a jury, and
considerable difficulty is believed 10
be in store for the state in this re-
spect. Frank Estes and Saul Sander
son and Wyatt Cowatt will be tried
together. There are other indict-
ments against 46 individuals.
