Park, the same place where last years
picnic was held, was crowded all day
with the members Of the Brotherhood,
their wives, daughters, sweethearts and
friends. Chief Arthur had promised
the boys to remain over to the picnic,
and he kept his word. He was there
all afternoon, and seemed to be enjoy
ing himself we'll. Chief Arthur was in
charge Of Mayor seabright, James Dem
nison and Mr.. w. J. Duffy, who drove
the chief out to tho Park. The distin-
guished visitor thought it was beauti-
tiful drive, and admired very much the
pretty natural scenery and the hand
some villas built along the pike.
Nearly all the engineers who were
here on Sunday remained over to the
picnic, and yesterday morning a lot
more came in, bringing their wives
along. A big crowd went out on the
IL o'clock motor, and the Elm Grove
outward bound trains were crowded the
rest of the day.
It certainly was beautiful day, and
the Park never looked prettier at this
season Of the year. Though the sun
was warm, yet q pleasant breeze blew
all day, and the many shady hooks in
the Park offered delightful retreats from
the heat Of the sun.
Mayer orchestra was engaged for the
day, and the pavilion was crowded all
afternoon by the dancers, who tripped
to the strains of this favorite musical
organization. The children-snd the
Park was full of them-patronized the
merry-go-round and swings, while those
of larger growth enjoyed themselves
on the dancing platform.
Governor Fleming came out in the
afternoon, having Mayor Seabrights
promise that he would not be called on
for speech. His Honor was unable to
keep his promise, however, and the
governor, as he was led up to the music
stand on the dancing platform, which
had been temporarily abandoned by the
dancers, saw he was in for it
The pavilion was crowded with those
who wanted to hear the governor and
Chief Arthur make speech. The gov
errors talk was very brief. He spoke
in praise OF the conservatism OF the
members OF the brotherhood, their f.
deity to their promises, and the infre-
quency of trouble with their employers.
The governors few remarks were loudly
applauded.
Chief Arthur spoke more at length.
His remarks were chiefly devoted to o
defense Of the right OF labor to organ
ize, and the benefits accruing to labor
itself and to capital, by the organization
OF employees. He touched in humor-
Gus vein on the reports in some news
papers, which had him on the way to
New York, to confer with the leaders of
other organizations Of railroad men,
when he was really on his way to
Wheeling to attend the union meeting.
Mr.. Arthur said he had read in the
newspapers that Railroad President
Mcleod had issued an order to all the
men on his road that they must sever
all connection with labor organizations.
He hoped the report was not true, but
| if it was, what right had Mr.. Mcleod to
tell him what his associations should
be? II President Mcleod was correctly
quoted, Mr.. Arthur said he was sorry,
for II he insisted on his order being

have talked were in the lunatic asylum.
