The Locomotive Engineers Journal Speaks in Highest Terms of the Entertainment of Railway
 Orders in Montgomery.

The July issue of The Locomotive Engi- neers' Journal devotes much of its space to the union railroad meeting held here in June. The following by one of the ed- itorial staff of The Journal is one of the several articles on the meeting published in The Journal:
 There have been many red letter days in the history of our Brotherhood, where our grand old organization has shone in ali her resplendent' glory but never be- fore in all her magnificent career has her triumphs and achievements been more notably remembered than at the famous Union meeting held at Montgomery, Ala, and Pensacola, Fla, from the 2d to the 9th of June. This gathering will go down in the annals of our organization as an honor and credit to the noble women and gallant men who conceived this meeting and carried 1t forward to a successful and brilliant termination. As the old say ing goes, mo stone was left unturned," that would in any way contribute to the happiness of their guests on this occa- sion, for they worked, like ':Tro1ans" to see that every simple wish was gratified. Southern hospitality was never more
 markedly exemplified than on this event. ful occasion in our history. On every
 hand there was nothing but praise in honor of the various committees. Every
 thing moved like clockwork; not ripple of discontent to mar the happiness of
 the occasion-a very rare thing, and the
 brothers and sisters of these two South
 ern cities can well feel proud of the hon.
 or that has crowned with the laurel wreath of success these two gatherings While we could not perceive any distinc-
 ton in the efforts of the committees in
 the discharge of their several duties-for
 they worked together as one person for the comfort and pleasure of all-yet there
 is one private citizen of Montgomery to whom we are indebted for a vast amount of enjoyment; a gentleman who was un-
 ceasing in his devotion to our interest
 Both day and night he was at our ser vice; he seemed to think that he was personally responsible for our welfare and never for one moment did he appear l happy unless we were receiving some kind of favor at his hand. We are in- debted to him for the special barbecue | given in honor of the grand officers of the
 various organizations, at the grounds of
 Montgomery's famous shooting club, of which he is the honored president.

 We are indebted to MT. Thomas M. Owen, Director of History of Alabama, for the very great courtesy We received at his
 hands. His description of the lives and characters of the noted men whose DOT
 traits adorn the walls of the Senate Chamber of tNeir Capitol, was a most
 pleasing incident and well worthy of re- membrance.
 Through the efforts of MT. J. E. Wors-

 The entertainment given us by the

 describe the pleasure that was associated
 with this memorable jubilee.
