Finn llluff Hnnftl.1 in Tha Arlrnnaft.a (int.t.n. Pine Bluff, May 18.

The scare over the assault of Messrs. T. IL Leslie and F. M. Gillette on the Pino Bluff and Swan Lake Road took every one Ij surprise, and in tbe flurry of the excitement all sorts of rumors were put In circulation.

One of the most prevalent was that the head quarters of the road were to be moved from Pine Bluff to Stuttgart, aud tb road crushed out of exlstance under an overwhelming load of bonds. This seems to be the Impresilon and your reporter was astonished by A question asked him by one of fhe most prominent of Pine Bluff's citi zens this morning, snl ono against whom a charge of opoosltlon to Pine Bluff has never men brought: 'What is the reason you opoOse acquisition of the Swnn Latrn Road by Messrs. Leslie and Gillette?" I no reporter was ciamronnaea tor a moment, bnt explained, at some langth, the Impression outlined above. "Stuff!" said the gentleman test-- II "those who report that idea don't know what they aro talking sbonV Lot ma tell yon something. If the Stuttgart gentlemen saooeed ia this effort to secure the road it will be ono of tho biggest booms Pine Bluff his received from any source in some tim.

"I know something of their inten tions and I will explain them to you. Jf they secure the road they Intend to widen (be and extend the line to A branch will be bnilfe down the bayou and the road built up to a first-class property. 'These improvements Pine Bluff fcaa been striving for for years and this Is the first genuine effort in the direction that has been made. "Yon mav think lam talking of something I Know nothing about, but I am not. If Messrs.

Leslie and Gillette secure the road most of the mrtrotf trlfli txrhfnh thAir wilt mata fYt jiurohase will be furnished by Pine fibluff capitalists and Flue Bluff will virtunlly control tbe company whloh will bo formed to operate the property." "Peoplo here are alarmed lest the road fall Into tbe hands of outside parties. They: may rest" easy. Whether it remains in the hands- of Col. Campbell or beoomes tke prop- a erty of the new combination it will always be operated from Pine Bluff, ybere the headquarters and general efflces will be located." This information takes a load off tha minds of the people here. It assure.

us. BUif'Ur uu Bate. uia mo rutin wm always Use Pine Bluff as an outlet It also assures another thing, and that is that, in either case, the gauge of the road will be widened and the line extended. Col. Campbell has already assured the people that he will widen and extend tbe line as soon as be is over with the present litigation, and this new assurance only makes the Improvement doubly sure.

Pine Bluff now seems to occupy the posi Ion of tbe old lady who was witnessing the fight between her husband and the bear. "That's one row," aid "In which I don't seem to have any particular intorasv' Daring General Superintendent Fleming's recent visit he made ar- -raugements for a new time card. Thin morning Superintendent Ken-Ann, Trainmaster Loomis and Chief Dispatcher Rioharu bogan work on the reorganisation of the running time of tha trains. They will hardly get it completed before night. Few of tbe nninicatea realize tne amount of labor oonnectod with the compilation of a time card.

Espeolaily is this fact when, as Is the intention now, the desideratum is the redaction of the rncnlng time of the freight trains. It will be a hard day's work for the men mentioned, all ex- porta, if they finish their labors today. The new card will hardly go Into effect before tbe first of June, as ar rangements cave to be made all along the line before It can be an- nounoed. Two Offloera Killed.

Eastern men announce th9lr determination to make a strong effort to secure the incorporation of these planks in the platform, and indicate that their zaal in foture will depend largely upon their adoption. Mr. F. rWaiihbatnr President of the New England Industrial Allianca, said In relation to the matter: "We feel that the work of tbe Alilaooa has not been broad enough, for it hs been direoted chiefly to agricultural interests, while we of the East have many important Issues at stake.

Unless this conference will broaden the scope of the work already commenced by tbe movement which has led to it, we feel that it will be scarcely worth while to go Into It further. If they will grant us what we ask, however, wo are ready to push the work for 1892. We have conferred with a number of persons from the Western and Southern States, and find that there is a disposition on their oart to view the matter as we do. A laree number of people in New England are anxiously waiting to learn what aotlon tbe conference will take in regard to these two planks, whloh we will propose, and whioh we will request to be made part of the platform.

About the only "day off" the Arkansas newspaper man gets Is his annual outing with State Press Association.

He labors all year, cusses and gets cussed, and then he goes to the press meeting where he meets the other "boys" and they invariably report a flue large time on their return home, having only one fault to find with the brief holiday and that Is, it did not last long enough, Batesvllle Is the goal this year, end to mingle with tbe "srang" Is the Arkansas Journalist's delight. These meetings are usually fraught with much interest, and though tbe ean6a is of times lively and enthusiastic, the members, who are men of brains, are of ths forgot and forgive-ful sort, and their "little spats" in the meetings are soon cast aside and matters of grave import furnish food for refbotion for tha forthcoming Issue of the county paper, whloh has Its weight and is always a power both behind and in front of the throne.

Men. Cincinnati, May 18. About twelve carloads of delegates fr om the West tntrtd.lQ.dity and Attended Party Convention. It Is -estimated that the delegates and visitors will reaoh 3,000 before the convention begins tomorrow. The morning was spent by the del egates in securing their quarters, and general handshaking.

This afternoon was devoted chiefly to conferences of the various State delegations, they being, for tbe most part, harmonious in their deliberations. The Iowa delegation, among other things, adopted a resolution nrging the nomination of a fall independent ticket next Jane, and telegraphed Its deoision to prominent men of that State In sympathy with the move ment. There was a rather turbulent meet ing of tbe delegation from, Kansas, doe largely to the fact that it is much stronger In point of numbers than that of any other State, there being nearly 800 persons here representing seven divbmds. viz: The Farmers' AUianoe, the Citizens Alliance, tbe People's Party, tbe Knights of Labor, the National Induitrial AManoo, tbe Antl Monopoly party and the Single Tax men. There was a large att8ndano3 at Dexter Hall, and Congressman- elect Otis was chosen to preside.

A question arose as to tha basis of representation to be accorded the. various organisations, and a motion that eaoh organisation bo allowed to select two parons to aot as committeemen from Kansas in tbo general conference, provoked a lively discus sion. It was urged that the different organisations should have a represania ti4 proner to their power and I notner oal strength Several amendments with that ob pot view wereoffered, bus wers subsequently withdrawn, and the motion as It finally prevailed contemplated tha selection of two persons from eaoh organization repre-san tedjJ)Qri njrtied issslon Mr. MoQrath called attention to the fact that there had boan no little attention paid to the cities and the Inter ests of wage workars, and urged that the Knights of Labor should be properly recognized by the meeting. After the adoption of the motion to appoint two persons from eaoh organization, names were suggested for the places, and the manner In which it was done evoked a spirited protest from.

Mr. Schenanlt, who -insisted that two or three men were Undertaking to name tbe persona who should be chosen by ail the members psoh organiz i tton. There was considerable excitement, and a motion to allow eaoh organization to appoint its members was adopted, as was also a motion to ad-janrn. The delegates then departed in groups," discussing the sltuat on and SeleffUpg persd us to' repf9S' tt tbe various organizations under the motion, as it was adopted. It was announced from the stage that the members of the Farmers' Allianoe would hold a separate meeting in the hall, and the inquiry was made whether tbe ball had been engaged" for the delegates from Kansas or tbe Farmer's Allianoe alone, The farmers' Alliance immediately met, and was called to order by Mr.

MoQrath, its President, and Mr. Me-Cormiok was chosen Seorotary. A motion carried to "pass the word," and all persons not members Were excluded from the hnlL At a late hour in the afternoon the meeting was still in sess'oa.
