of these men for this city. John Henry
Barrows. president of Oberlin' College
organizer or the Worlds Congress OF
Religions" and formerly pastor of the
leading Congregational Church at Chi
cago, has been secured to speak in
Phoenix. He is without doubt one OF
the most eloquent speakers on the
American platform being very similar
! TO Hamilton W. Mabie, except that he
is gifted with more oratorical power
| The style of the discourse Of these two
men is much the same. Besides DR..
! Barrows. the people of Phoeflix have
! secured Robert j. Burdette. who will
deliver his humorous lecture on But
toned Up People" Robert Mcintyre,
the matchless word painter, has also
been secured. It seems too bad
that these men are coming so near to
Tucson and are not going to stop here
Nothing further has ben heard of the
sanitarium project Some time ago Gus
Hoff, president of the Board of Trade,
received communications from parties
in Sacramento, asking If the city
would give site and encourage those
WuO CUllIeHlp piaIeu tne eFCCIlOn OF
here. In reply Mr.. Hoff ask
ed them to write and say just what
they would expect from the city AS
yet he has received 10 answer to this
letter. The matter has been discussed
informally by some of the members
of the Board OF Trade and they have
come to the conclusion that santi-
tarium located somewhere on the edge
of town would be a desirable improve
ment for the city and would not inter
fere in the least with the field of the
new hotel.
John NJ. Messenger, advance agent
for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
and for Miss Leonora Jackson, is in
the city today making arrangements
for the appearance Of both of these
companies here. The Chica 0 Symp-
hony Orchestra Is to be headed and
by Adolph Rosenbecker one
Of the best conductors in this country
Miss Jackson Is to be accompanied
by Harry J. Fellows, tenor and Will
liam Bauer, pianist. Both companies
will appear here early this spring.

4 Case Of MURDER.
JOE DICKINS DIES FROM
HIS WOUNDS.
The Negro Who Was Struck With
q Pinch Bar Yesterday
Died Last Night and
Smith Has
Escaped.

From Daily Argus Of last Thursday.
: Joe Dickins, the negro VINO was
struck on the head yesterday at
the Southern Cotton Oil Mil, in
this city, by Dave Smith, another
negro, died last night, and Smith
who left the mill IS soon So he
did the bloody deed, has net been
seen since by the officers, although
rome citizens report that the ne
$50 was ser to go to his home
iaat night. He has probably
lea ned OF the fatal result OF the
blow he inflicted on the negroes
head and has by this time depart
ed for parts unknown.
The circumstances under which
the deed was done will fail 10
justify such a rash act. The M
groes were both 1T work at the
mill. Dickins, the negro who was
killed, had charge of the baods,
I,wno were all coiored, in a certain
department of the mill. Yester~
day morning about II O'Clock
| Dickins ordered Smith to do a
certain piece of work and he re-
fused. They both %quarreled and
Dickins struck Smith With his
fist. A few minutes afterward
Smith passed by Dickins and told
him that be would get him. An
hour afterward while Dir kins was
down on his knees cleaning off a
machine Smith came up from the
rear and struck Dickins on the
forehead, f%racturing his skull. The
lick would have fallen on the back
of his head had not Dickins look
ed up just as the heavy piece OF
iron was coming toward him.
DR.. Thos. Hill, the County Cor
oner, cslled a jury together this
morning and held an inquest over
the remains. The jury decided
that Dickins cane to his death il
the manner above described.

HANNA ON
Ohio Senator'S "Reminiscences of the
Martyred President.

Ohio Senator's "Reminiscences of he
Martyred President.
In the current issue Of The National
Magazine Senator Hanna gives detail
ed "reminiscences Of the late President
Mckinley as a man, a friend and as q
leader. Mr.. Hanna says in his articles:
"a great deal has been said about his
proverbial. good nature. lie had that
and in addition to that an uneQualed
equipoise in every emergency. In all
my career in business and in politics /
have never known a man 50 self con-
tanned. He always acted Deliberately,
and his judgments were always weigh
ed carefully, although there were times
when his heart impulses would re-
spond quickly without apparently the
slightest delay. -
I'm all those thirty years of close re-
lations I never saw him in a passion,
never heard him utter word of
what 1 would call resentment tinged
with bitterness toward a living person.
This was again reflected in the story
Of the assassination told by Mr.. Mil
burn, who said that he could never for
get the picture in the expression Of his
c~ountenance, as he glanced toward the
assassin. In his eyes read the words as
plain as language could express 1t,
why should you do this?
"And then when the assassin was
hurled to the ground, when the fury
and indignation of the people had be-
gun to assert itself, he said, with al
most sanity compassion. Don't let
them hurt him.
81 know of nothing in all history that
can compare with the splendid climax
and ending Of this noble life. One OF
| the sweetest consultations that come to
me is the memory that on Tuesday
preceding his death he asked to see a
newspaper, and when he was told Not
| today he asked, is Mark herep
"'Yes, Mr.. President was the re
! spouse, and in hat one sweet last re
membrance was a rich reward o the
| years of devotion which it had always
been my pleasure to give him."
Senator Hanna closes the article as
! follows: 1--WE were both Of Scotch
Irish descent, but opposites in dispost
| ton. He was Of a more direct descent
than I, but it is thought from our dis
positions hat he had the Scotch and
had the Irish of the combination"

One of the greatest projects Just

100000 acres in the everglades and
turf them into sugar plantations. The
Florida East Coast Drainage and Sug-

purpose. Surveys made under govern
ment supervision years ago show the
feasibility of the plan.
Arrangements were perfected recent

Benedict Of Milwaukee will underwrite
the enterprise to b extent of $5,OOO,-

Jacksonville by the Florida East Coast

NEW FRIGHT.

Giant Skyrocket Caused Religious
Ones to Pray I'm the Streets.
Several thousand inhabitants Of New
Milford, near Winsted, Conn.,, on the
Berkshire division of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
were startled the other night by an ex-
plosion somewhere to skyward of the
town, says the New York Times. The
sound was terrific, they say, and the
sidewalks hemb1ed. People rushed
out Of doors, and some Of them declare
that they thought the day of judgment
was at hand. They knelt In the streets
and began to pray.
AS the terrible sound came there was
q bright flash about 200 yards from
the earth, directly overhead. A little
later the streets were choked with PEG
pie, gaping at the heavens and wonder
ing what was the cause of the noise.
It was finally concluded by many that
q meteorite had exploded yer the
town. Some of the more religious citi-
Zens, however, persisted in believing
that the strange blast was intended as
a warning that the life of the world
was about to end. That no fragments
or trace of q meteorite could be found
vas used by them as an argument that
they were right in their conclusions.
A. L. ConkIey, who conducts a music
store, solved the mystery late the next
afternoon by saying that he set off a
giant skyrocket, which caused the eX.
element. The rocket had been left
over from the last Fourth of July, and
his family thought fitting to celebrate
with if a hapDy Christmas.

CRIMINAL -CARELESSNESS.
A Railroad Official Knew of the
Difficulty i'm Seeing Signals in
the Tunnel.

O1AO
New York, Jan. 16.-Jos. Fl.
Franklin, manager Of the Grand
Central station and track man
ager of the Harlem Railroad
from Mott Haven to Grand
street, went on the witness stand
ct the coroner's inquest into the
Park avenue tunnel disaster this
afternoon, and admitted that
though constant complaints OF
their inability to see signal lights
on stormy and foggy days had
been made to him by engineers
OF all three of the railroads run.
ming through the tunnel, nothing
had ever been done about the
matter. MI. Franklin said thai
such complaints had come to hin
in one form or another since
1892, and when District Attorney
Jerome asked him why nothing
had ever been done to remedy an
evil which was a menace to hui
man life ne replied that he had
no explanation to offer.
MIR. Jerome conducted q severe
examination of Mr.. Franklin and
| drew from the witness a series Of
admissions which appeared to
form themselves into a rather
harsh arraignment of the New
York Central management.
There was a sensation in the
little court room when Mr..
Franklin calmly announced that
the Harlem train which crashed
into the rear of the New Haven
train and killed seventeen Of the
passengers of the latter, was the
first that Engineer Wisker had
ever taken through the tunnel.
Mr.. Franklin was the only one
of all the score of witnesses ex-
amined by the corner at this first
day Of the inquest who gave any
testimony that was new. He was
also the first and only witness
called during the day whose ex.
animation Mr.. Jerome took ex.
clusively to himself. The dis
trict attorney resented any at.
tempt to examine Franklin by
anybody else.
Frank Moss. counsel for Wis.
ker, thought Mr.. Jerome had
not asked as many questions as
were necessary to show the diff
Guilty that engineers encounter IN
seeing signals in the tunnel. H.
asked permission to put q few
questions himself, but Mr.. Je'
rome said thatif permissio on werf
granted he would Withdraw froR
the case. Mr.. Moss persisted
and Coroner ScaOi9r refused Il

cit is a melancholy satisfaction
to us to know that Joe enjoyed
the full confidence aud resp ect,
good will and kind wishes of the

Once, and long, my slave, I never

The day upon me yet to dawn
When you we're ever to honor and

And now I grieve, old friend, that

Though slave you were, yet IN your

There vas a pearl, a gem serene

As aver prince or potentate could
A pearl which will through al

For nearly fourscore years we've

Near neighbors, friends and living

In all our intercourse serene,
Acknowledged as our God anc

But you are gone; your rest is fal

and every boiler in the same, rem
dered useless by the force of the
explosion. One disestor, if not two
blew up resulting in the loss Of life
of nine men who were working in
the building and five badly injured.
What caused the explosion is II mys-

that not more men who were work
ing in the adjoining buildings were
not killed as the work Of Providence
One part of the digestor was blown
over the buildings and landed on
the other side, burying Itself some
four feet in the earth. Dozens OF
persons visited the scene of the eX-

This is the first accident Of this
kind that has happened in our city

lplosion. The loss will foot up to
about $40, 900.
