COL. N.N. ARNETT'S ADDRESS,
Ar THE UNWILLING OF THE CON-
FEDERATE MONUMENT AT
HUNTINGTON SATURDAY
AN oRAToRICAL MASTERPIECE
which Made a Deep Impression Up
on the Thousands Who
the Exercises-He Dwels Upon the
Sincerity Which Inspired the
Southern Cause in the Late War.

Col. w. w. Arnett has returned from
Huntington, where he delivered the
principal address at the unwilling of the
Confederate monument last Satur-
day. His grafton was a magnificent
effort. and is referred to in the Adj
vertiser of that city, as follows:
Commander Thompson introduced
Col. w. w. Arnett, of Wheeling, who
commanded the Twentieth Virginia
cavalry in the war between the States,
who for one hour held captive an aud
fence already sympathetic with the oc-
casion. Col. Arnett spoke extempor-
aneously and is a matter OF sincere
regret that every word of his address
was not presented for publication. His
graceful and splendid style, beautifully
modulated and penetrating voice, and
the heartfelt earnestness of his man
ner could not of course, be published,
but he uttered words of wisdom, pa
~triotism and sober truth and many of
the faces turned to his while he talked
were stained with tears. The
cornerstone of his address was
the sincerity which inspired the
Southern soldier. THAT granted
and the whole world grants
tive have nothing to utter for him
but words of praise. In the last abb
stract only God himself can judge who
was right"
The speaker said, and thanked God
that he could say it, that in an extern
sive travel of this country since the war
between the States he had found few
Confederate soldiers base enough TO
apologize for their conduct in the a
Could those ~recreants have been pres
ent and heard the whitening u~tterances
OF Col. Arnett they would indeed have
hung their heads in shame. T
1.-THE South fought for constitutional
liberty, and it is our solemn duty, year
by year and age by age to revive the
glorious memories of the men who per-
ished for the right as they saw it."
The speaker drew with dramatic in
tensity a picture OF. the charge of
Pickett's division at Gettysburg end
ing with an eulogy upon Robert E.
Lee, who, in the face of that most mag
nificent disaster of the war had the SUI
preme manhood to publicly declare:
sit was all my fault"
Col. Arnett closed his grand address
with a tribute of admiration for the
Daughters of the Confederacy, whose
loving and ~unceasing labors had made
the noble monument this day unveiled
a possibility.
When he concluded many handsome
floral tributes were presented him and
hundreds crowded round to clasp his
hand and congratulate and thank him
for his inspiring words. The old SOL
der was visibly affected but had a kline
and graceful word of acknowledgement
for every one.
After the glee club sang Dixie" the
ceremonies incident to the unveiling
were ended.

Speaking of base ball in shis ci.y
we'll known young man who vas q star
for several years on our best teams
said: -"in 1893 we had the be ST team in
the south west right here In El Paso,
and again in 1896, but they were rearly
all professional players. For an
amateur team 1 want to see--ths team
tha: can get the best of The
Ell Paso Colts as they play now -
That is what hundreds of people
ssy who saw the games of last Sa.ur-
day and Sunday, and if the other
people who like to see good. fast, clean
base ball will only attend the games
that are to come they will likewise
say the same thing. We have q good
team and they play together we'll;
there may be better teams in this
country but they have as yet to show
the mselves to the Colts.
Base ball is on the boom in Ell Paso
and that is no mistake. It is Q manly
sport and go long as the boys play the
clean fast game that they pus up last
week they are bound TO have the sup
port and encouragement of the best
people OF the city.

At meeting OF the city off cials this
morning It was decided to order all
saloons closed until the riot is over.
Chief of Police Harrison is said to be
so unbalanced by the shock of the
nights experience that Policeman An
del has been appointed chief tenn
porarily.
The Fourth regiment from Colum bus
and the two companies from Canton
have arrived TO prevent further
trouble. Il is feared the mob may
attack the county jail aud court house.
The city, and other losers by fire
will be unable to COLLECT insurance, i:
is claimed, because the buildings we're
destroyed during the riot.
By 9 O'Clock this morning the streets
were thronged with people. men,
women, and children, but very fe ~ o

about the ruins of the city building
aud ropes are stretched to keep the
crowds back.
City officials who know the value o
the records and documents lost in the

ELECTRIC RAILWAY
WILL Prob ably Be Built This Fall

There Is another chapter in the
street railroad story. The Ell Paso and
Juarez Traction company, which Is the
| consolidated old companies, has receiv-
ed from Mexico the necessary conces
| sion to enable the roads in Juarez to
be operated in connection with those
on this side of tue river. The Trao-
tion people have all slong said, as
HERALD readers are aware, that the
lobtsining of this concession has been
all that delayed them In the work of
| putting in an electric line. 1t Is to be
expected cow than something will he
done toward the conversion of the old
mule lines within q short time.
The Chicago people are still figuring
on the franchise which was granted
to the committee of citizens. They say
that the building of q line by the Trac
tion com psny will not Interfere in the
least with their plains, but that they
say that the two roads will not run
over any of the same streets in auy
event, and that the two projects 60 no,
conflict in any way.
| As near as can be learned, the
Traction company will build . line ex
te ndiug over Santa Fe street from the
bridge, to St. Louis street, then tc
Stanton, south to San Antonio, west tc
Ell Paso, and south by way OF e. Psso
and Stanton streets to the lower bridge
1t is intended to build later an electric
line over the Msgoffin and San Antonio
lines, and also on Stanton street from
San Antonio TO the bridge, but it is
not thought this will be done at once
| The plans of the Cnicago syndicate
are even more obscure. Ii is known
that they will use Texas street for their
princip pal city line. aud that they will
open up some of the outlying subdivi-
sions. IL is likely that Franklin
Heights will get q line, aud also tha,
there will be 4 line to the emelter, by
way OF Santa Fe street and up over the
hills.
The prospects are certainly brighter
for an electric system of railways 10 FL
Paso within the next year than they
have ever bsen before.
