GARFIELD MEMORIAL EXERCISES

The Edmund Burke Literary society at
their regular meeting, Monday evening. at
their handsome hall in the Garfield uni
versity, gave very able and interesting ex-
ercises commemorative of the birth of the
late lamented Garfield The exercises were
given on that evening instead of the 18th
because Of tho exercises given by the Peri
clesian society at that time.
The program consisted of personal rem
iniscences by DIR. Hendryx, who was sub
stituted for Captain w. T. Burgess, on ac-
count OF the sickness of Captain Burgess.
DR.. Hendryx, although not requested to
speak until after the opening hour OF the
society, responded in his usually happy
style with half hours recital OF the oc-
currences of several years personal ae-
Quaintance with Garfield. More can be
learned from such talk of the true char
acter of Garfield than from an extended
study of his history.
Garfeld's favorite hymn. by an octette
consisting of Misses Ray, kirkbride,
Simpson and Mcpherson and Messrs. Ca
ton, Chambers, Blake and Ayres, was rem
dered earnestly and impressively.
"A Tribute of Friendship to Garfield" a
beautiful and appropriate recitation, was
well rendered by Miss Nancy Campbell.
A piano solo, 'Rhapsodic Hongrorise,"
by Miss leila Spencer, was one of the most
interesting numbers on the program and
bespeaks musical talent of high order for
the young lady.
IAN Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte." by
Lord Byron, was very ably recited by Pro-
lessor Scott of the university corps OF in
structors. This was aptly termed by one
present "the heaviest recitation ever given
at Garfield" When one recalls the high
character of some of the reeitations previ.
ously given in the halls of the university
he will realize the force Of the
compliment. Professor Scott's perform
ance last night merits the encomiums
A biographical sketch of Garfield by
Miss Minute Blake. Was fair and impair
tial presentiment of the life and WORK OF
Garfield, although necessarily much con-
densed. The speech was well written and
we'll read
Ave Maria" vocal solo, by Miss Nellie
Mcpherson. was beautifully rendered and
was equal to the usua! performances of this
talented young vocalist.
An original poem. Garfield" by Mr.. |
o. p johnson. fittingly closed the literary
exercises of the evening. The only criti-
cism heard on this poem was regarding |
its brevity. Shakespeare did not give to |
tho world the poe,ical richness |
of his mind in day, and Mr. johnson does |
not pose rs a peer to Shakespeare.
After a short recess the society again |
convened and proceeded with the business |
of the evening. Miss Nellie Mcpherson.
Messrs. H w. Ritz. j. NJ. Cole. o. E. !
Stark. E. L. Whitesids and c. H. Cham
bers were added to the list of member
ship. The society meets at its hall every
evening, and solicits the at
of all persons interested in such
work.

ANOTHER SANTA FEE WRECK.
An Open Switch Between Here and Wellington
Throws . Cattle Train or

Yesterday afternoon passengers from
Wellington came in tired and tormented,
all on account of the wreck of a cattle
train between here and Wellington, with
in a short distance of the latter place Ii
there is anything that makes one impa-
tient more than another it is waiting to
get around a wreck, and as consequence
the parties who were delayed yesterday
were right glad to get into the Peerless
Princess to relish a dinner postponed
for three hours. When the wreck was re-
ported here an EAGLE reporter called at
the superntendent's office in this city to
get particulars, but it was positively denied
there by the clerks. The facts are that
yesterday morning Engineer Green and
crew left Wellington with extra No. &c.
containing cattle for the Kansas City
market. The train started at good rate
OF speed and when it came to the cnt off at
this side of Wellington the switch was
turned and the engine, tender and three
cars ran off the end of the rails The en-
CINE broke loose from the tender and
travelled on independently over ties, rails
ETC., in an easterly direction, forgetting
all the time that it was bound north in
stead of east. The tender acted differently
by lying down on its side, inducing the
car next to it to do the same thing.
The long horned occupants from
Texas raised terrible racket
and beloved with all their fury, and,
strange rs it may appear, only two Of them
were killed. The train crew were consid-
erably shaken up. but fortunately none of
them was seriously hurt. A large force of
men were summoned at once, and had the
track sufficiently cleared by IL O'Clock so
that traffic could be resumed. Blame
attaches to some one for the neglect of
leaving the switch open, but who this per-
son is could not be ascertained

cry and inexperienced horde. whose expe-
rience in political tricks will prove their

The Illinois democrats have Endorsed SEN
,ator Palmer for the presidential nomination if
it shall be deemed expedient to select west
ern candidate. In the shadow of the name of
Cleveland this il the most his friends claimed
and more really than some Of Mr.. Cleveland's
friends wished to concede. 1t is less than the
.ex-President received even in the somewhat
squiyocal indorsement OF the Indiana conven-
ton While the large majority OF the demo-
Gratis in different parts OF the country seem to
approve the candidacy of Cleveland there is
not that enthusiastic adherence to his fortunes
in localities where he has been supposed to be
strongest that might have been expected. The
uncertainty in mems minds to his ability to
carry New York promotes the favorite son idea
in many states.

with it the silver peoples conference in this

conference in Chicago three days before the

lance. II some Of these agitations seem gro
