The extension of electric light serV- ice thru a number of streets, in the southwestern end of the city, and even along the Sulphur Springs pike fer instance of perhaps a half mile, is work now being done by the en- DlOyos of the Pine Bluff company, anG which is expected 10 serve more than 50 houses in that section, as soon as the linemen complete their labors.
 The extension begins at Eleventh avenue and Cypress street, runs south on <'ypress to Thirteenth avenue, tIence west to Hazel street, thence south to Seventeenth avenue. thence west to the Cotton Felt tracks. thence to the Sulphur Sprinks pike, along which it will run little more than half mile, the entire extension being hear a mi}e.t
 Already contracts have been signed by occupants Of about 90 houses on the line of the extension, to use the electricity for lightning purposes. and ii is known that other residents of the same territory will follow suit. This is about the last section of the city to he entered by the electric lighting service, and the fact that the line will run some distance out the Sul- pbur Springs pike is taken as an in dication that the Pine Bluff company is continuing it's activities to provide suburban residents with the opportun- ;ty to use electricity if they so desire.

Miss Blanche scull Sends Check, Letter, Express
 ing Appreciation.

Fire Chief A. c. Br:ener yesterday received, as an aftermath of the fire which damaged several buildings at Third avenue and State street early this week, the following letter, with :, chedl for s25. from Miss Blanche Scull. administratrix ot the estate of the late Arthur Murray:
 Find enclosed check for $25, which of valuable service reneered us in the protection of our buildings from fire on the night of the sixteenth instant.
 "The slight damage sustained by us is evidence of master eontrol of a rerilous situation, and rersevering ef. forts on the part of brave firemen, which is worthy of more than mere commendation.
 "We certainly feel very grateful to each of you and wish to thank you c-ain for facing the elements of na- ture in our behalf on this cold, snow clad night, while we, unaware of any danger, remained comfortably in doors''
 
 stantial token of appreciation of their efforts from Jake Reisenberg. who operates a market in the ground floor of the corner building, and who sui fered virtually no damage, bedause of the success of the fight made by the fireboys against the blaze. With in few hours after the fire was ex- tinguished, MT. Reisenberg sent a batch of chicken, box of oranges and 8 box of apples to the central fire station, together with state- ment of his appre citation.
 Chief Briener and the men of his department made plain last night their sincere appreciation of the good wishes and o7mmendation expressed by Miss Scull and Mr. Reisenberg which they value even more highly than the material things which ac- companied the thoughts and words. The boys admit, in modest manner, that it was a bad fire, one hard to handle under any conditions, and especially difficult under the excep tionally severe weather conditions which prevailed at the time. It was admitted. also, that had the flames been allowed to eat their way through the roof of the one story brick build ing in Third avenue. both adjoining buildings two-story bricks, would have caught fire and would have suffered severe damage, if not total destruc- ton, while the tall building north If the alley owned by the Murray estate, likewise would have been seriously endangered.
