Cd meetings at the Central Meth

ind a great success. In describing
one of his meetings an Atlanta

Despite the fact that it was a
rainy, disagreeable evening, a
large congregation gathered at st.
Paul Methodist church last night.
Bev. T. w. Christian delivered a
powerful sermon on the parable OF
the ten virgins.
The scene at the conclusion OF
his strong and intensely earnest
appeal to his hearers to lead better
lives was an exceedingly impress
Sive one. The altar was filled,
there being 80 or more people who
made complete and public surren
der of their lives to God. An old
member of the church remarked
after the service that it was the
most touching and impressive
spectacle he had seen in that
church in a quarter of a century.

The Santa Fe has arranged an ex-
cursion over the a. * c. railroad for

very strongly 10 all Phoenix people
but especially so to the business men
of the city. In fact il is called BUSH

struction work. and the round trip will
be only SO The train will leave Phoe-

AN EXCURSION RATE
FOR TUCSON GAME
The Phoenix Team and all Its Friends
Are Invited to Spend Couple of
Days in the Pima Co. Capital.

The Southern Pacific has arranged
for a baseball excursion to Tucson for
. tomorrow, to accommodate not only
the Phoenix bail team but all the fans
who care TO go along, and il is hoped
there will be a good lot of them join
. the expedition. The rate for the round
trip will be only IS and those who de-
sire may stay over until Monday night.
The secretary of the Tucson league
yesterday told Manager Rinderle that
the Tucson fans would be only too
glad to have the team stay over until
Monday night at their expense and
have a good visit. The same ticket
privileges apply to all and the rate is
a cheap one.
The Tucson secretary also said that
the fans of that city had read the re-
port of last Sundays game here, in
both the Phoenix and Prescott papers,
had drawn its own natural differences
and could tell where the shoe pinched.
They understand that baseball some
times becomes little acrimonious and
make due allowances. They promise
the Phoenix team the time of their
lives and urge a good crowd to come
with them. The tickets for the team
will be sent today and the excursion
will leave here at 9.i5 city time sun
day morning.
And remember the red fire on the
city hall Sunday night.
In this connection il is with sorrow
that it is learned that the Diamond
Jos are having trouble as indicated by
the following in the Prescott Journal
Miner: =.
The Diamond Jos had not recovered
from the effects on them of the Phoe-
nix gab-fest. when they met Monday
night to talk it over" and as a re-
suit the jaw-battle of Sunday was
again fought over, in miniature fash
ion, with the result that when the
smoke of battle cleared away, the local
team found itself without a manager

having proved too strenuous for former
Manager Kohl, who stated he was con-
WINGED that he was not so successful

bunch, and therefore stepped out.
1t is also rumored that Captain Eli
oft, who tried to out-talk Brain
storm" Thomas and Captain Lewis,
Sunday, but failed, although it must
be confessed he did his best, making
numerous trips to the pitchers box,
rendered his resignation, but this could
not be verified. as members of the
team seem more or less disinclined to
discuss the affair. Elliott says he is
no longer captain. while the others say
no changes were made with the excep-
tion of manager. and the loss of Hin
dereT and Tryon the former of whom
went to Alamorgordo. n. NJ, Sunday
night, and the latter to Old Mexico.
Everybody here is so disguised with
Sundays fiasco that baseball, for the
majority OF them, is tabooed as a sub
ject of conversation. and even should
the Diamond Jos be reorganized.

anglers to the various fishing resorts
along their lines. Most of the roads
make a rate of one fare for the round

any of the fishing streams along their
right of way, and the rate will obtain
for the entire summer. The tickets

WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE
ALL CONTRADICT ORCHARD

Boise. Ida, June 26.-The first di-
rect testimony in defense OF VIM. ID.
Haywood was offered yesterday and
II was chiefly directed TO showing that
Harry Orchard, blaming Frank Steun-
enberg for the loss of his interest in
the Hercules mine. had threatened to
havee revenge by killing him, and that
the conduc, OF both Orchard and X
c. Sterling. both before the lndepen-
dence explosion when they were fire.
quently seen together. and afterward
when Sterling called OF "A bloodhound
that was following Orchards trail,
justified the Inference that the Mine
owners had inspired the crime.
The calling OF the FIRST witness for
the defense was preceded by a further
examination of Orchard to permit the
defense to complete Its formal i'm
peaching questions. These questions
were nearly all in connection with the
because of an alleged grudge growing
out OF the sale of his interest in the
Hercules mine.
Orchard. who came into court un-
der protection of the same flying
squadron of guards that always acts
as his escort. maintained his old calm
ness of manner and spoke in the same
low pitched. soft tones. He again
denied that he ever threatened to kill
Steunenberg because OF the Hercules
mine and again asserted that he sold
his interest in the mine two years
before the trouble that drove him out
of northern Idaho. Two witnesses
called later In the day swore that Or
chard did threaten to kill Steunenberg
because of the Hercules matter and
the defense has prepared the way for
such testimony from dozen more
witnesses. The two heard today were
r. X. Redd. once of Cripple Creek.
and now of Goldfeld. New, and the
other Chas. A. Sullivan. formerly OF
Cripple Creek and now a watchman
In the Brown Palace hotel in Denver.
Redd said he heard Orchard make
