LEGISLATIVE
EXCURSION.
Members and Others on q Delightful
Outing TO Pensacola.


On Friday last, at few minutes after
one O'Clock a special train Of the Sea-
board Air Line, commanded by the
bug, genial Conductor Kennedy, left
Tallahassee for Pensacola with a Jolly
and excited party of excursionists,
numbering nearly 200, and composed of
members of the Legislature, some of
whom were accompanied by their wives
and relatives, and quite a large number
Of Tallahasseeans of both sexes and
nearly every age, as well as many of
the attaches of the Legislature and
few strangers.
Accompanying the party were also
the members of several joint commit
tees who wisely seized the occasion to
perform their inspection duties to the
several convict camps, the State Nor
NAL school at DeFuniak Springs and
the State hospital for insane at Chatta-
hoochee.
The run was made in about seven
hours including few necessary stops,
the longest which was at DeFuniak,
where a brass band serenaded the
party, while almost the entire roll of
the State Normal students appeared on
the platform to welcome the investigat-
ing committee. One enthusiastic youth
on the train was moved TO exclaini that
he never saw so many pretty girls
together In one spot In his life.
On arrival at Pensacola the legislative
visitors were escorted 70 the Escambia
hotel, where they were received with a
brief but pointed addresses of welcome
by Mayor Welles, responded to by
Speaker Gilchrist in his happiest man
ner Finding suitable quarters with the
aid of the local committee, the visitors
rested until morning, when an excursion
on the bay, with visit TO the big bat
tleship kearsarge, q monster typical
fish dinner, a stroll through the navy
yard and a trip outside the harbOr
where some Of the war ships were at
target practice, were highly enjoyed
Accomplishments.
The late afternoon and the following
Sunday were spent In street car riding,
visits to friends, and attendance upon
Easter services at the various churches
and on Monday, bright and early, those
who had not already returned TO the
Capital on regular trains boarded their
special and arrived in Tallahassee about
2 o'clock.
There were incidents and scenes the
relation of which would be intensely in
teresting, but would also consume much
more space than we are able to spare
for the purpose; and we are constrained
to be content with the final remark
that the big excursion was a brilliant
success.
The especial care which Conduc-
tor Gardner, Of the L. & NJ, exhibited
in looking after the comfort and safety
Of his guests, was the subject Of fire.

The outing did every one of the par
Elephants a world Of good, and no one
enjoyed II more than the RACES OF the

sssemblage stood with reverenty barred
heads until they were seated
The chorus sang that stirring old war
song Onward Christian Soldier, /" after
which the Rev. Mr.. Bigham opened the
ceremonies with most appropriate
prayer, which called forth well deserved
praise from the audience. That we'll
known patriotic anthem, my Country
It's of Thee, was next rendered and
then Mr., Joseph Etmonson with q few
well chosen words introduced Hon. w
II. Ellis as the orator Of the day.
Mr.. Ellis address was a masterpiece
of logic and of oratory and was fire.
quently interrupted by the applause of
the delighted and appreciative hearers.
1t was a speech that bore the stamp of
much research and study, and proved
by many historical references the pos
lures Of the Confederate cause. IL was
replete with beautiful thoughts, we'll
expressed and most gracefully deliver
ed. In it he dwelt upon the Importance
OF the youth of our dear Southland, "
the sons and daughters of those dead
heroes lying so silently by, should be
taught the true history Of those times
in order that they may be assured Of
the business and righteousness Of the
cause for which their forefathers gave
their lives. The Daughters were very
happy in their selection of an orator,
and most certainly the audience are to
be congratulated on being given the OPP
portunity of listening to such an orator
lcal treat. That sweet old hymn,
Nearer My God TO Thee" was next
sung after which Mr.. Edmondson with
a few words of praise, conferred the
Crosses Of Honor" on the following
veterans: Hugh Black, b. F. Page,
n. B. Glover, Thos. lsler and r. c.
Long.
These crosses are made Of bronze,
and are only conferred by the Daugh-
tiers Of the Confederacy, upon the re-
commentator of the local chapters; in
the present instance upon the recon-
mendation Of the Anna jackson Chap
ter Of the Daughters of which Miss
Caroline M. Brevard is president.
These were the first that have been
thus publicly conferred, and their pre-
sentation added much to the occasion.

heirlooms of the children Of their pres
rem next decorated the graves, and
collection was taken up after which
Rev. DR. Carter, the venerable pastor
of the st. Johns Episcopal church made
the benediction and then the choir sang
God Be With You Till We Meet
Again, during which the audience dis
persed. That devoted band of women,
The Daughters, did not forget the
dead heroes that lie buried on the many
battle fields of the South and had the
monument erected, in the Capitol
square, to the memory of the Leon
Volunteers who fell in battle, beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion.
