 Pass Thru Pine Bluff.

Three troop trains passed through Pine Bluff yesterday forenoon, carry ing regiment of Maryland infantry to the border. and two trains of sol diers moved toward the Kio Grande country through Pine Bluff last night, with Pennsylvania militiamen aboard.
 Large crowds watched the trains go by yesterday and early last night, and there was much cheering by the soldiers and the Pine Bluff folk. The only train of the five which was not given rousing greeting, was the last of Ihe batch to pass, and this was because it went through the city after midnight. when everybody was at home. EMH
 Definite information is lacking as to the coming of other troop trains, but it is understood there will be none to pass through today, and that some will pass through the city late Wednesday evening or during We'd nesday night.

The first definite proposition from an engineering firm to be received by the Committee of Fifteen, and which Is printed in full below, was consid- cred in detail last night at a meeting of the committee at the assembly hall of the chamber of commerce.
 Nothing definite was done at last nights meeting of the committee, which was named at mass meeting of citizens some months ago, to de- wise plans for preventing the recur- rent overflows of the old lake bed and the flooding of large sections of the city, with each high water stage of the Arkansas river.
 After the meeting, Chairman J. E. Boyce gave out the following state ment: 4gM8k

COUNTY TO AID IN IMPROVEMENT
 HARDING AVENUE There Will Be Sixty Foot Parkway, with Two 20-
 Foot Driveways.
COUNCIL TAKES UP
 INCINERATOR PLAN
One Policeman Added to Force at Re. quest of Chief Stewart, and City At. tOrney to Be in Court at Each Ses.
 sion to Prosecute Offenders.

With the assistance of County
 Judge c. M. Philpot and of the city,
 6O-foot parkway is to be built in
 Harding avenue. between Main and
 Olive streets, and the 20-foot drive
 ways on each side are to be paved
 with asphaltic concrete by the prop erty owners, through the organization of Paving district No. 40.
 The first petition for the organiza- ton of the paving district was grant cd by the city council last night. after | Mayor Simon Bloom, Alderman Joe Clement and Sam Russell represent ing the property owners, had explain ed the proposition to the council. The
 street is 100 feet wide. and there is not enough property valuation to all low of the entire width being paved. The plan is, therefore, to establish the parkway, County Judge Philpot agreeing to donate $500 from the county road fund for building the curbing around the parkway. and the city agreeing to fill within the curb ing to the proper depth, and to main tain the parkway after it is establish et.
 The council unanimously approved
 the proposition, and there is little doubt the work of carrying out the plans will be rushed to completion.
 The belief is held that when the work is completed, Harding avenue will be the prettiest street in the city, and at the same time will afford another link of paved street between Main street and Dive street.
 To Get InoineratOr.
 Alderman Simpson offered reso- lution directing the board of public :, affairs to advertise for bids for the
 erection of an incinerating plant,
 prefacing his action by making a short talk in which he again stressed the need, because of sanitary and
 health conditions, of such a plant here, at the earliest possible moment.
 Alderman Well interposed, saying
 he believed the resolution was "pre-
 mature" thus bringing a general
 smile from those aldermen who re-
