motive Engineers at Jauns~--,
JACKSON, MICH, December 1S.-Between
FIVE and six hundred locomotive engineers
met in this city to-day for jubilee meet
ing behind closed doors. Grand Chief p.
NJ. Arthur, of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers was present, and engi-
neers within a radius of one hundred
miles were here TO greet him. EX-
cursion trains were run from FIT. Wayne
and Port Huron and Bay City. Mich.
Early this morning rumor was current
that the engineers had big grievance TO
lay before their chief, and from the fact
that jackson division No. 2 held pro-
tracted meeting a week ago to-day this
story gained some credence. That this
number of engineers should come $50 miles
TO grasp Chief Arthur by the hand and
have social time did not seem probable.
Chief Arthur was interviewed. When
asked as to the question of grievances, the
Chief said: "My brother engineers had
no grievance to lay before me. Had such
been the case l would not hesitate to tell
the public about such instances, we always
publicly define our position. The only
time that grievance was mentioned was
when the late troubles in the East was re-
ferred TO. The outcome of such troubles
is not made public hence to-day's meeting
was held in order that all might under
stand the situation"
This evening the Grand Chief addressed
a meeting held by the Ladies Auxiliary,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
He leaves tomorrow for Cleveland. I'm
officially it was learned that the Worlds
Fair traffic was discussed at length. The
engineers want now scale Of wages to be
in vogue at that time, and a meeting with

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The Popular Emporium of Jewe1ry and
Silverware.
A custom which has been and undoubt-
edly will be in vogue for centuries among
those Of moderate means, as well as
among the wealthy classes, is that OF
wearing jewelry. 4 jewel is thing to
be admiTed-a precious thlng-and we
find that therein lies its value. Its USE
fulness is not considered, and yet few
ever regret having made a moderate in
yestment in a jewel, for it really has a
use as an ornament, and, besides, it is al
ways worth nearly Its purchase price,
even after the pOssessor tires of its keep
ing.
Under the head of jewelry. however,
one finds many articles that are almost in
dispensable. The watch, for instance.
What man or woman is there who does
not desire to be the possessor Of one, sim
ply for its usefulness; and there are many
who, not knowing the material reduction
in price which has been made in some
of the best timepieces, are still without
one. In this connection it may be peril
nent to inform the public that new Jew
elrv store has been opened in Sacramento,
under the most favorable auspices, by
Mr.. Stanley Glidden Of San Francisco,
formerly of Chicago, and who is an old
and well-known travelling salesman. Mr..
Gliddeu has for several years represented
the establishment of A. l. Hall IL Son,
one of the leading wholesale dealers in
iewelry and silverware. He has con-
cluded to embark on his own accord, and
has selected 40 ] street, Sacramento, as
the location from which he will dispense
the line of goods with which his long ex-
perience renders him thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT. He has purchased all the fixtures
of, and leased the building formerly oc-
cupied by VIM. A. Godt & Co., who are re-
tiring from business. The new empo-
rum is justly termed 'The Popular Jew
elry and Silverware House." The stock
will be most complete and comprise the
newest and latest designs of all popular
goods in his line and will be sold at pop
ular prices. Success will no doubt crown
his efforts, and Sacramentans should feel
proud of this adjunct to our commercial
! circles.

SACRAMENTO CANTON.

Its Drilling Was a Surprise and De-
light to the Stocktonians.
The Stockton papers of yesterday were
very profuse in their expressions Of ad-
miration for Sacramento Canton, Patri-
archs Militant, which gave an exhibition
drill there on Thursday night before a
very large audience. In concluding its
complimentary notice of the drill, the
Independent says:
"When the drill was over it was the
unanimous opinion of those who watched
it that Sacramento had good reason, in
deed, to feel proud of its Patriarchs Mill
tant."
The local papers also referred in very
warm terms to the music rendered by
the Hussar Band of this city, which ac-
companied the Canton on its visit.
