! mess men of PhmniX, having been in
 business here for eight years He
 began business in the territory at
 Wicllenburg thirteen years ago, and
 su bsequently started his business up
 here. His old store on Washington
 street opposite the plaza iswell known
 Within the past year he has put up a
 splendid building at the corner of
 Center and Washington street, front
 ing on the former about ninetY-five
 feet and on the latter fifty feet \
 portion of the building is now occu-
 pied by the branch Bank of Arizons, and the postotlice, but the greater
 part is devoted to his immense
 business, which, like that of all the
 firms in the place, is of a general merchandising character, with spec ial attention given to ladies dry and fancy goods, but anything may be found at his establishment from ten penny nail to the handsomest sewing machine. They have 8 fine assort- ment of family groceries, canned goods, clothing, hats, etc, etc, also hardware and leather goods. The establishment is all that it advertiscs, general and complete in all respects Mr. Peralta is also putting up a fine residence ii ihe rear of lis store and fronting on Center street.
 Mir. Peralta's business is not, how ever confined to Plunix alone. He is building a store at the new town of Seymour, on the Eassayanpa where he will lay in . large stock of goods for the business the erection of forty stamp mill by the Central Arizona Mining Co. will make there

 Another extensive business house that Phoenix can claim as all her own is that of Goldman < Co.,, established here in 1875, in the building now oc- cupied hy Brown & Daniel, and from which they removed to their present and more commodious buildings or Montezuma street, facing the plaza on the west side. Thsir stock is of carefully selected, general assortment from which all the needs peculiar to the country can be supplied. Special is given to miners outfits and supplies. They have also in store an endless variety of dry goods groceries, furnishing goods, hard ware, etc, This firm has bultup an immense trade for the time they have been in business here, as will be indicated by q recent invoice Of fifty thousand dollars wcrth of generally assorted goods received here. They have now at the depot and on the way about thirty-eight thousand pounds more. In short their goods are constantly arriving, and are also being diminished with surprising ra- pidity
 Goldman < Co. also have large store at Picket Post, filled with goods suitable to the wants of that section. l From these reviews of tie extent of our business houses may be drawn some idea of the size and character of the business of our town and the country around us But we have not yet covered the ground by any means, and hope to have the pleasure Of pre- senting an outline of still other firms who are each conducting successful i businesses among us, at some future lime.

Project OF a Marine Railway Across
the IStlmUS.

the IStllmIS.
Captain J. B. 1jads is In Washington.
Having opened the Mississippi River to
commerce., he is now turning his attcn-
ton to another great engineering feat
the OF intcroccanic commu
nication across the Istllmus of Daricn.
This he proposes to do by means of his
marine railway. His plans for this rail-
way have not been exactly completed.
He has, however, gone fal enough to de-
monstratc, to his own satisfaction at least,
the entire feasibility OF the marine rail-
way. He will submit his plans to the
government at an early day, and expects
to secure national corporation in his
work. Captain Eads purposes to take a
ship out of the water on II side Of the
isthmus and transport her across in less
than twenty-four hours, without injury
from %straining or otherwise, tho cargo to
remain intact. The ship, after being
taken out Of the water, is to he placed in
a cradle. The railroad tracks will be
perfectly straight, and have no change of
grade in them. He would avoid curves
by turntables and Il change Of direction
when necessary. Turntables that can be
elevated at one end and depressed at the
other are to overcome the grade. He docs
not expect a grade anywhere of over fifty
feet to the mile. His railway would cost
one quarter as much as a canal, he cSti-
mates, and could be finished in one QUAR-
ter the time. He says he has talked with
capitalists and others in New York and
elsewhere about this marine railway.
Mon acquainted with work Of this char
actcr are perfectly satisfied as to its CHI
tire feasibility, and lie states that capital
lists can be found willing to assure it's
complexion Washington Star.
We have interviewed Mr.. G. V. Ham,
mond on this subject, and he says that
Captain Eads will make q failure in this
project. Tine is a level headed railroad
man whose judgment can generally be
relied on.

James S. G.. Richardson.

In the Sumter WatcAnaan of 21st inst.
wo find an eloquent and touching, yet
mcrited and impartial tributeto the men,
DRY of this distinguished lawyer. from
the pen of John J. Dargan, one Of tho cdi-
tors. Mr.. Richardson died at Rock bridge
Alum Springs, Virginia, whittier he had
gone for health and rest. From Mr.. OAR
gan's memorial of him we take the fol-
lowing extracts:
James S. G. Richardson was born on
the 18th day of April, 1915, near Bloom
hill, in this County. lie was the son of 4
planter, William 6. Richardson, and a
nephew of Judge John S. Richardson.
His father being poor, he was deprived Of
the advantages of a collegiate education,
and after a few years Of instruction in the
common schools of his neighborhood, no
applied himself to the study Of law, and
was admitted to practice in 1885, in the
ed year of his age.
The opening of his career at the bar
was marked by no brilliant speeches or
extraordinary professional feats. There
was nc unusual promise of future great
ness and success, but unohserved at first,
he quietly, earnestly and persistentiy
pursued his professional studies. In the
course of time the conviction began to
dawn upon the bar and the people, that
there was growing up in their midst q
young man who was destined to take q
high position in his chosen profession,
and q place Of usefulness and honor in
the community in which he lived. From
the commencement of his professional
career Mr.. Richardson seems to have set
before himself, as tho goal of his ambi-
ton, and the only object worthy Of pur-
suit, a professional success and reputa-
ton, based upon q profound knowledge Of
law, and the sourdest and Hottest princi-
pies Of m~orality-and to this end ho ap-
piled his energies and his talents. The
small tricks of the legal profession by
which lawyers sometimes gain the ap-
plause of the unenlightened multitude,
he always discarded with an irreprcssible
corn.
Hence it was that amid sickness and
pain-almost without a parallel in the an
nails of human sutfcring-in cloud and in
sunshine over all difficulties, and
through many and grievOus trials, he ap-
piled himself with unabated resolution
and assiduity to the study Of the princi-
pies Of Jurisprudence. Law was to him
llOL Il Lraue out Oh WHICH 10 Ilike money,
but a science by which justice and true
liberty were to be obtained and protected.
To say that his manly perseverance amid
so much that was calculated to discourage
him brought at last it's reward, is but
tamcly to express the nature of the sue
cess he achieved. He found himself long
before his death at the topmost round Of
tho professional ladder.
Misfortunes could not subduc him.
Difficulties could not daunt him. The
most eXcruciating and protracted physi-
cal suffering could not conquer his majeS-
tic patience, nor rob him Of his gentle
courtesy. Fame could not call him from
the path of duty, but he commanded it to
come to him and it obeyed.
Sumter claims all honor for the memo
~ of James S. G.. Richardson, her great
est and her uUbleSt son.

''The little handful Vt three hundred

no way responsible for it. She repudi-
ates all such acts"
And to this we add an extract from the
Mississippi Sun:
"The Iazoo affair has excited consider
able comment. We allude to the act of
the citizens of that county forcing Dixon
to come down us independent candidate
for sheriff. 1t is is all wrong-it is wrong

The Camp Meeting.

The colorcd peoples camp meeting
came off last week at Tabernacle church
in this county. On Sunday an excursion
train was run from G~reenville TO the
camp ground, bringing passengers from
that city for scvcnty-tive cents, to return
free. This is the most liberal act of the
road for many years and we hope that
the authorities have found it profitable.
1t will have the effect of making the
people more friendly to the road at any
rate. The recent acts of General Conner
have done much to conciliate the public
sentiment against the road for grievan-
ces under the old management.
