TRAINS OF THE LATTER To RUN FROM
WASHINGTON TO BROAD STREET
STATION PHILADELPHIA
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Philadelphia. May 2.-Apropos of the election of
l. F Loree as president Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, the entry of more Pennsylvania
Railroad men into that company means not only
change in the matter of operating but in a number
of plans that were agreed upon previous to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Companys securing such
large interest in the Baltimore and Ohio.
One scheme settled is 10 the Baltimore and
Ohio trains to Washington and the South from
Broad Street Station The Baltimore and Ohio's
Washington road is a good stretch of line. but
owing location of its station in this city it
has not secured the patronage that it otherwise
would. A connection will be made between the
roads a point south of Philadelphia. and all
trains to this city Will into the Broad Street
Station. There will be no change in regard TO the
agreement with the Reading company in relation TO
through trains 10 New-York as the Baltimore and
Ohio will continue to run its Royal Blue train as
il does now.
Much money will be saved in changes contem-
plated in Washington Both of the roads have
secured permission from the government 10 elevate
and depress their tracks so that grade crossings
will be eliminated. II is probable that both COM
panies will use the station there. This would
relieve the Baltimore and Ohio OF making large
outlay in changing its tracks

matter, but it is understood that the
new league will make endeavors to car
ry on the crusade after Mr.. Murphy s
departure.
In farewell Mr.. Murphy paid a grace
full compliment to the Islands and their
people and thanked them for the gra-
cious reception rendered him. He Of
fered an impressive prayer, concluding
with the mizpah, God watch between
me and thee while we are absent one

Mr.. Murphy says that Temperance
Agitator Chapman of Oakland, Califor-
MIA, is expected on the Sonoma to en-
gage in the work of temperance in Ho-

'T do not know Mr.. Chapman" said
Mr.. Murphy to an Advertiser reporter
yesterday. HE is engaged in the work
of seeing that the law in regard to sa-
loon traffic is carried out with respect
to the selling of liquor to minors and
drunkards and is having them opened
and closed at the hours specified by
law"
The new temperance agitator will be
received by a committee of religious
workers, of whom Rev f. c. Cory of
the Christian church is at he head.

ed in the prison and humbly done his
penitence, and satisfied the law, but that
he hadn't been given chance; people
We're unkind and jeered at him, finging
the stigma in his face, and how he was
SO hungry that he did take the loaf of
bread to keep from starving. And when
he had finished, the kind-hearted Judge
settled that case. He just took hold of
the boys arm and trotted hiin along to
his own home, and sa-4, III give you a
chance, my boy, and you shall live to be
a noble man.
SO he did. You see the dear Lord
raised up a friend for him. We all need
friend, my men; yes we do; and Jesus
Christ is the friend of all. He will raise
up a friend for you; won't you let MIN
in? oh believe me, dear friends, mans
inhumanity to man makes countless
thousands weep in bitter truth Let us
all be kind and love one another; let us
love one another out of sin and away
from temptation"
Mr.. Murphy also told the story of his
own conversion. He said that he had
been led into drinking too much by
friends, and that one day he was driven
to the institution by friend who had in
yited him out to dinner, and that the
friend had left him in prison. He told
of the days of remorse and misery he
had spent in his cell, and how he had
refused to attend the worship until some
one had pleaded with him from the
sympathy of a loving heart, and he had
gone. While he sat with bowed head,
ashamed to look up, a childish voice
spoke to him and said, Papa, we have
been SO lonesome for you, and here's
some flowers 1t was his little daugh-
ter, and his little son also came and

ed and he himself began to pray, calling
upon God to tear him away from the
evil habits that bound him, and to create
in him that spirit of strength that would
enable him to lead a better life. His
prayer had been answered and from
thenceforth he had been different man.
"Oh, men, pleaded the white-haired vet
eran of temperance, won't you listen to
Him calling you today, and won't you
decide here under the branches of this
great old tree today? He loves you and
He is sad because of your Indifference.
Oh, how much we all need Him, and lie
is reaching out to US so lovinglyi"
Mr.. Murphy concluded with a powerful
appeal He said that never again on
earth would the assembled congregation
meet together and beseeched that they
accept Christ's invitation before they
separated. He asked for their thoughts
to follow him over the sea to his work
in Australia, and wanted them all to
wish him we'll Mr.. Weldon also made
a short address, interpreting it himself
in Hawaiian, and many testimonials were
given. There was a quick response TO
the invitation to sign the pledge, the men
crowding about the tables and waiting
their turn. When they had signed they
all knelt in prayer and sang, God Be
With You Till We Meet Again."

Murphy had finished, about sixty of them
went up and signed the pledge.
A number of friends accompanied Mr..

accompaniment to the singing and the
'Intermezzo" in solo. Mr.. Murphy offer

country would give these places a differ

the reformatories by ugly names and
the taint of the name dragged many

and thence back into crime.
In calling the Jail a repair shop he
spoke of the transport Warren that came
to our port last week. The great ship
met with a storm away out there on the

about and come Into Honolulu for re-

he should assume his own name or an
