The Trouble In San Salvador IL Of Purely
Local Nature.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
NEW YORK, June 2S.-Among the pas
sengers on the Aurania to-day was Senior
Don Ricardo Jimenez President of the
Supreme Court of Costa Rica. Senor jim
enez, although not over 80 or "a years of
age, has been for some time a prominent
figure in Central American affairs. He
has been Minister in his country and out
of it several times, and on the occasion of
the last revolution was the chief reliance of
the people. Signor Jimenez says that
everything is peaceful in Costa Rica at
present and likely to remain so. He goes
abroad for rest after arduous labors in pub
lie life during the past four years, and will
not return before November.
The Salvador trouble. he says, is purely
local. 1t has nothing to do with the other
Republics, nor will it have more than a
temporary effect upon the question of the
union. When asked how the union was
coming on, he laughed and shrugged his
shoulders and said it was coming slowly,
he supposed.

Two Prominent Texans Charged With the
Burning of an Oil Refinery.
GALVESTON, TEX, June 28.-Messrs.
Sampson and Isaac Heidenheimer, two Of
GalYeston's well-known and wealthy
Hebrew citizens, were arrested to-day
charged with arson, in burning the
oil mill, last April, Of the Texas
Standard Oil Company, of which Sampson
Heidenheimer was President and the largest
stockholder. The estimated value OF the
plant was about 5000, 900 and it was insured
nearly up to this amount. The mill was in
the Oil Trust and not doing a profitable
business.
The insurance companies, suspecting all
was not as it should be, instituted inYesti-
cations, resulting in securing afidavits from
several operators of the mill to the effect that
they saw Sampson inside the mill with
light Just before the fire and Isaac on the
outside. One affidavit says that he saw
Sampson apply the torch. Upon these affi-
davits the arrests were made. They have
each given 5000 bonds. The Heiden-
heimers are very wealthy citizens and we'll
connected commercially.

Good Condition for a Strike.

The East 81. Louis Freight Handlers in
Good Condition for Strike.
ST. LOUIS, June 28.-There is practically
no change in the strike situation. The
strikers say they will not accept the COM
promise terms offered by the roads, and say
that they can hold out several months if
necessary. They will organize under a
charter from the American Federation OF
Labor next Monday, and will be in posi-
tion to ask help from that body. The trans
fer drivers and switchmen have already
intimated, it is said, that they will
strike themselves If the railroads do not set
tie with the platform men very soon.
One thing in favor of the. strikers is the
lack of harmony among the railroad officials,
some of them being willing to grant the
terms demanded by the men, while others
favor compromise and still others oppose
conceding anything. All OF the freight
houses were open to-day. but none of them
had full force, and freight is being handled
slowly.

my WISH.

If words of mine e'er touch the chords
That clasp a tender heart,
And cause the tears OF purer love
From kindly eyes to start;
If they will ever comfort give
To those who bow in grief,
And leave within the troubled mind
A calm and sweet relief;
If they will ever picture man
In all hiSworth and power.
And paint the beauty, joy and hope
Beyond the darkest hour:
If they will only point the way
To bear the christening rod,
And lead wandering soul TO see
The path our Savior trod;
wi know that life is not in vain
No power or fame can be,
NO wealth, with all its pomp and pride,
As sweet and dear to me.
No greater. sweeter Joy ask,
wish alone for this;
No other power can give to me
Such peace and perfect blissl
