would be almost useless for me to state
to you the object of this gathering, as
that is already understood by every
one present. Charity begins at home.
In defining the word home, l hope you
will consider me broad-minded enough
to realize that my meaning covers In
words the Anglo-Saxon race, and, to go
further still. the whole human race.
More particularly this should be d.
rected to those who are yet, because of
youth. unable to care for themselves.
The object of this gathering IL to allie
viate the condition of three orphans.
who because of their & n condition
are objects of pity from all those who
carry around in their bosoms a benevo-
lent and Christian feeling. Left at a
very early age without the guiding
hand OF a father or the loving caresses
Of a mother, the orphans for whom this
assembly has gathered here tonight
TO offer their mite of consolation are
deserving of the warm sympathy of
every one present"

Tucson, Ariz., April 3.-(Special g. Correspondence of The Republican.)- One hundred and five miles of new 75-pound steel rails have been laid and twenty-five miles more will be put down from Tucson, the division of the Southern Pacific in Arizona
 One hundred and twenty cars of ballast are being distributed daily from Arizola eastward.
 It is expected 25.OO0 head of cattle will be billed out of Tucson's yards this season.
 Before May the stockyards at Will COX will be double their capacity. All yards are cleaned thoroughly at in tervals.
 Superintendent Randolph received a very complimentary letter expressing the thanks of Cochise county cattle men and of the citizens of Wilcox In recognition of prompt action in an- swer to request for rates on quaran- tined cattle, moved in March.
 The yards at Bowie are being inn proved at an expense of S8,000, in- volving material changes.
 The three miles of tracks laid at
 
 Arizona & South Eastern and New Mexico & Arizona terminals will re- suit in an expenditure of S25,000. These tracks run along the west side of the depot and next to the town front thus relieving the tracks of the South ern Pacific at this point. The cattle yards have been relocated northwest at a cost of 1000. On the hill east O. fon erect ed and water for company and towI will gravitate by pipe line. A new round-house with ten stalls is to bf built for the company's helpers ant the engines of the Bisbee & Nogale. roads.
 Traffic from the mines in Graham Cochise, Pima and Yuma counties shows a marked increase over a like period (three months) in 1897. Gen tral traffic is fair.
 The company is furnishing Tucson with water under a special contract.
 The company has no intention o1 building spurs to mining camps, this year at least.
 Through the new inspector, MT George P. Scholefeld, it is learned that shipping of cattle will begin abou the 18th of this month, and the frs shipment will be Mexican stock About 25,00O head in all will go out during this and the two following months. A large proportion of Pima county cattle will go out through Benson and Wilcox yards. Prices will be equal to that paid in Cochist county and the grades up to any, per haps, with the exception of those iron San Pedro valley. In MT. Scholefield's opinion much truoble would be saved inspectors if all purchasers of hides would require presentation of bills oi sale of hides turned in in small lots When hides are shriveled the in- spector is compelled to subject them to a soaking.

District Clerk Edwin S. Gill, as referee, yesterday took testimony in the divorce suit of Mrs. Alfaretta Beck man against Charles Beckman The plaintiff was present accompanied by her attorney, Captain w Crenshaw. The grounds of complaint were deser- tion and failure to support. The plain tiff testified that she married Beck man in 1891 and that he had never contributed dollar to her mainte- nance.
 The trouble of the Beckmans burst upon Phoenix forcibly a little less than a year ago. They had recently come here from the north They started a restaurant on North Center street, but it was not a financial success and was soon discontinued. After that Beck man got work in a saloon near Five Points. One evening he left home, taking his 13-year-old stepson, his wife's son by former husband, saying he was going down town and would return about half past seven. Mid night came without him and Mrs Beckman having had earlier expert ences with him, suspected that he had run away. Her suspicious were re- enforcedby a recollection of the cir constance that couple of days be- fore her husband had induced her to pawn her diamonds and jewelry for S200 with which to start him in the saloon business.
 Nothing was heard from Beckman for some time. He was finally located at San Diego and a couple of months later Mrs. Beckman recovered her son, who is now with her. When she began her divorce suit an effort was made to get personal service on the defendant. The papers were for warded to the sheriff of San Diego county, but they were sent back with the statement that he could not be found. A letter addressed to Beckman was also returned marked uncalled for, and nothing has been heard of him since.

When he received the dispatch he hunted m the justice of the peace before whom the local cases were to be tried and asked for a postponement, which was granted. Then he prepared to 20 to Flagstaff Just before the train ar rived some one informed him that the dispatch was hoax.
 The young lawyer paled with wrath and indignation. He saw the fine It. allan hand of maliciousness in the trick and after breaking some of the furniture in his office and the third procured a six-shooter and went on the warpath. The perpetrator of the cruel joke had in the meantime been hurried to the outskirts of the town and hid den away. The victim of the fake telegram might have been still at large, in search of his supposed enemy, had not brave men gently told him that his bosom friend was the culprit
 'I can't kill him." he said relent- fully, and with a tremolo of emotion in his deep-chest tones; he's too young to die. But he must apologize. Tell him to come here and sign this telegram explaining my answering dis patch to Clark
 The alleged practical joker was To- cated among the small pox detectives and brought trembling into the pres ence of his wrOnged friend. He signed the dispatch, apologized, the lawyer laid away his gun, and the two en- braced like Brutus and Cassius after their quarrel.
 District court adjourned at Flag staff yesterday and the various jury men and witnesses returned home on today's No. 1. The 'ast and most interesting case on the odcket was that of J. F. Daggs, Cattlean, Ybarra and Jose P. Chaves. charged with stealing sheep. The jury, after thirty six hours deliberation, disagreed standing six and six.
 At this session of the Coconinc court Judge R. F. Sloan convinced attor- neys, witnesses and spectators that he was in charge of affairs. His ad- ministration of proceedings was busi- ness-like, firm and dignifed.
 Considerable speculation has been indulged in as to the use to which a building in process of construction ad- joining the News office is to be put. The various conjectures have de- scribed it as hospital for indigent printers, a livery stable, a pawn shop, church and a bank. As it gradu- ally assumes the shape and dignity of a building the suspicion broadens that a bank is to be established in Will liams One reason for this belief is that the windows of the newspaper curely barred.

Washington, April 5.-The number of people now coming to Washington from all parts of the United States, as shown by the hotel registers, is al- most unprecedented. At the leading hotels today guests were turned away
 not singly, but by the dozen, because of lack of accommodation. A great part of the influx is due to the journey homeward of many wealthy northern CTS, who have been sojourning in the southern resorts in Virginia and Flor ida. The Spanish crisis, too, has un-

New England never experienced before.
From Cape Cod the most terrible accounts
Of ruin and death are coming, and OF
these the loss of the steamer Portland,

Portland, with ali on board, nearly one
hundred souls, overshadows all. Tho

have claimed victims without number.
Miles and miles Of coast-ine are piled
high with wreckng, most OF which IA

cation of the hapless craft is impossible.
AS the fury OF the wind was as great
on the bleak sandhills which make up the
cape, 1t will be many hours before all
places are heard from. Telegraph wires
are down and railroads cannot break out
the snow-drifts, and this feature is dis
tressing, as much suffering from cold and
hunger must ensue among the poorer
people In the nearby hamlets.
CAPE COD CUT OFF.

| rated with the grand cross for conspicu-
! Gus galantry. The subject Of this sketch
left the Fatherland when he was only Is
years old, in order 10 escape the thral-
dom Of compulsory military service. He
came straight 10 Virginia, and settled in
Fluvanna county. The circumstances un-
der which he came to America were not
auspicious, for he was practically penni-
less but his indOmitable courage and per-
severance stood him in good stead. ana
he became a prosperous merchant In Flu
wanna county before the civil war.
During the war he served in the Flu
wanna Artillery and afterwards he came
10 this city, where he established whole
sale clothing mandatory on east Main
street. Success came 10 him in large
measure and his reputation for business
capacity won for him the esteem OF all
his felow-citizens and commercial assoc
ciates. In his line Of business he was
recognized as a salesman without supe-
rior. and In everything he undertook he
strove with dauntless energy 70 do IT
as well as It could possibly be done. That
was the secret Of his success.
In 1890 Mr.. Oppenhmer retired from ac-
tive business life, though he still retained
the presidency OF the Commercial Build
ing and Loan Association. He went 10
live on his farm at Corinth Hill. though
he continued 10 lend his valuable business
sagacity 20 the direction OF the AFFAIRS
Of the building association. and until HIS
illness last summer came 10 the city once
or twice each week.

| cial)-The union meeting Of all the rail-
| road train service organizations of Amer

event The object in holding the meet
ing in the South, II was developed. lies
in the desire of the leaders of the great
interests represented 10 interest the peo-
pie OF this section i'm the campaign launch
ed here tonight. The keynote of the con-
vention was sounded by Frank +. Sar-
geant, Of Peoria. H.. Grand Master Of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. who
did not hesitate. in the course Of his
speech TO declare that the great object
OF the railway men to-day was TO sup
plant with white men the negroes who at
present fill the positions of trainmen and
firemen throughout the South. That con-
cert Of action to this end has been deter
mined upon by the federated organizations
there is no doubt. There was represented
at the meeting five Of the railway organi"
cations Of the country.
OTHER SPEAKERS

Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
was the first speaker. He dwelt upon the
advantages Of organized labor In general
and of railway men organizing in particu-
lar. His address was we'll received. There
were speeches also by the national officers
Of the Brotherhood of Tranmen, Con-
ductors, and Telegraphers.
Hon. William A. Young, congressman
elect. acted as master of ceremonies. and !
addresses Of welcome were made by the |
Mayors Of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
The most striking thing Mr.. Sergeant /
said in what was the speech Of the eve
ming. was this: 'Tf southern railroads are |
so welded to the negro fireman that they |
cannot part with him. they will have to
pay him white mems wages. These or
have decided to act In concert |
to accomplish this end" The Grand
Master of the fremen then went on TO
declare that no threat was intended by
his declaration.
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
The railway men, he said contemplate
no strike because of negro labor For the
next two years. however, a campaign Of
education would be waged and the re-
suit he predicted would be the placing OF
an intelligent white fireman in every loco
motive cab in the South. I'VE propose"
ne said, "to create public sentiment in
favor Of our plan, and backed by public
sentiment and organization, we can ac-
,omplish anything" He declared him
self heartily i'm sympathy with the white
movement in the Carolinas. and predicted
hat It was this sentiment that would ac-
the end sought by his organlza-
ion.
Tomorrow the delegates and officers Of
he convention will be taken 10 old Point
comfort and a banquet will be served.
several prominent railway men occupied
,oxes tonight, but their small number
vas commented upon by the speakers.
