Last Sunday night, there was held the closing service of an excellent union revival meeting at Tempe, lasting a month. Rev. D. R. Francis had charge of the meetings from the beginning to the close. He is man of excellent spirit, keen biblical knowledge. fear less preacher and successful preacher against infdelity. He knows men and speaks with such conviction and direct ness as few men do. His excellent wife was of great service by her sweet, sim pie gospel songs. bout fifty will unite with the churches as partial result of the meeting.
 The citizens committee of Maricopa county guaranteed to the north and south railroad the right of way through this county. The boards of arbitration in considering the matter of the claims of Starkweather and Hill for dam ages in running across school lands occupied by them have awarded them damages to the amount of nearly $1,300. This amount is to be raised by private subscription. Some of the members of the citizens committee will call upon the people to- morrow, asking them to contribute the desired amount. This is an obligation that should be met promptly and every one is asked to contribute as literally as circums tances will permit.
 An amusing incident occurred re- gently in caucns over the selection of mployes of the legislature. A mem Der after placing Iii nomination a man. expleired that he sometimes indulged in the use of the ardent to hilarious extent, but that he had made solemn VOW not to indulge during the session if he received the appointment. Mr.. Herrick, of Cochise, who is somewhat of a humorist, arose and remarked |: "My experience in trying to reform this class of men has been very unsat- isfactory. I tried to reform teamster of mine once and it not only proved @ failure, but if I had not been a better man than he I would have been whipped in the bargain. I shall op. pose the appointment" MT. Herrick E experience decided the caucus and the man lost the po-ition.-Journal- Miner.

II became known yesterday that the trustees or

masters beouca thed to the museum by the VIII OF
the late James Renwck. The announcement caused
considerable speculation to what the real reason
for declining to accept the gift might be. as no ex

tees.
The fact of the bequest and the conditions accom-
nanviny its acceptance were made pubic carry III
INV last The important provisions were that the
col;ectlon be kept in or alcove to be de-

the James Renw!ck collection.
With the announcement of the bequest or the
naintings which Mr. Renwick had selected from MS
private gallery of about $50 pictures. came the news
that the gift was made up OF the works OF such
nainters as Cuercino Guido Murilo Carracci. van

siderable surprise by artists in general and experts

Committee on Paintings. after examining the pict-
ures made their report, and soon after. about De-
cember l. the Board of Trustees Informed the execu-
tors OF the RenwlclI estate that the museum could
not receive the gift.
General di Cesnola, the director Of the museum,
yesterday afternoon said: 1T would be improper
for ire or any the trustees to explain for publlca-
tion why Mr.. Renwick's gift not accepted. We
want to offend one, do want to prejudice
ourselves in the eyes Of other friends who may
leave to the museum valuable bequests. The
executors of the estate have been informed just
why the gift declined. ard 1t is for them to
make the matter public If any one does.
