No proposition vas sqlbmitteh to the peo- ;:le oi this city hy Mr Parker, nor was a meeting held hy the members of the Beard of Trade or it's execu- tive committee. to receive one from him
 Mir. Parker stated that he would submit his proposition to Pine Bluff within the next few days and that it would be submitted in writing. At a meeting of the Board of Trade di- rectOrs and the chairmen of the va rious committees named at a mass meeting some months ago, held at the Board of Trade headquarters, and at which time Mir Parker was pres eut with Mr. Otis. Who is identified with him, it was stated that the own CTS of the Arkansas. Louisiana and Gulf road contemplated extending the road to this city, but that unless they were assured of northern outlet, it would not be forthcoming At that time Mr. Parker was informed that the business people of this city were ready to receive a proposition frOu/ him. He was given sixty days / which to submit one
 At that meeting as was related i4.' the Graphic at the time, it was in- mated that the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf road could be secured by ern extension formerly referred to as the Pine Bluff and North Rail- road if $100.000 was paid as bonus to the owners of the Arkansas, Loui- .iana and Gulf road by our people. It was also intimated that the pro- motors would demand right of way through the city and county and 3 local site for railroad shops. These demands will probably be included in Mr. Parkers proposition. Until then there is nothing definite to re- port relative to the Parker road.

Attorney Nix on will go to Little Rock this morn ing to begin active work in the case. He held conference with Miss Burkhalter and several of her friends at his office yesterday afternoon.
 A special from Little Rock last night says:
 charged with an assault on Miss Ray Burkhalter, will be tried in the Pulas- Xii circuit court beginning July 12 unless chaneg of venue should be taken, or the youth should show cause why the case should not be tried at this time The case was set for trial for July 12 on the motion of Roy D. Campbell, prosecuting attor- ney, this morning in Judge Lea's di- vision of the circuit court
 There has been persistent rumor that change of venue will be asked for. Under the law the only place the case could be tried outside of Pu- laski county is in Perry county. It has also been understood that Lewis .Rhoton, of the firm of Bradshaw, Rhoton & Helm. will defend Dill. There has been nothing to disprove this except that it would not be stated positively this morning in the office of the law firm that the case will be tried by MT. Rhoton. The firm would neither confirm nor deny the report that MT. Rhoton will conduct the de- fense of the case, but the statement was made that a change of venue could not be discussed for the reason that it was not positively known that the firm would be connected with the case in any way at all.
 It is still the general supposition that Dill is in jail at Hot Springs. The officers of the county have never stated positively where Dill is. but the intimation has been that he is in Hot Springs. It is known that he is

Since the first shock of the tragic affair has subsided. it is not out of place to say that the feeling at one time against Dill. or any one who might have been accused of the crime committed against Miss Burk~ halter, ran very high. Had Dill or any one else been placed in custody within a few hour after the tragedy, and it had been generally known there is absolutely no doubt but that there would have been a demonstra- tion that would not have augured well for the prisoner.
