when some of the federal office hold CTS openly attempted to capture the city organization that it might De used as part of the machinery to work up sentiment in favor of an in- structed delegation from Arizona to Chicago.
 It took the united efforts of half a dozen party peacemakers to convince Sturges that it would be suicidal to have it go broadcast throughout Ari- zona that the republicans of Phoenix had refused 70 endorse Governor Kib- bey and hil administr ation.
 Many who would knife the territor- ial administration in the dark, but not in public, because it might hurt the party's chances of success, agreed with the mediators long before Sur ges could be convinced that for party expedlency the administration should be endorsed.
 After the appeal to party pride, and an almost fearful prayer that no thing be done to further disrupt an organization that is already torn asunder. Sturges' motion to strike out the section lauding Governor Kibbey failed because of lack of a second.
 Had the Sturges motion been put and secret ballot taken, there is little doubt that it would have pre- vailed among the republicans last night

the civil war and the fall of the Con federacy. The south was exhausted, and Lee and his forces reduced by fighting, hunger and disease, and sur rounded by overwhelming numbers, had no alternative but to yield. This he did in way to win the respect of his opponents and the admiration of the world. He was consistent as a soldier to the last, and though given an opportunity by Grant to conduct negotiations for surrender through his officers, he did not put the un- pleasant duty on others, but faced his conquerer himself
 The scenes of the surrender have been often described, with varying degrees of accuracy. The accounts which history has accepted as accu- rate come from officers who attended the two chief actors in the closing scene of this greatest of modern trag- edies of war. Nearly all of those who took prominent part in the epoch making event at Appomattox have passed away. One of the very few survivors is General Joshua l.. Cham berlain of Massachusetts, who com manded the parade of union troops at the surrender of General Lee.

PURCELL ISBACK
 FROM TRIP EAST
Well Known Conductor Absent Six Months on Business for
 the E. P. 6 s, w.

After an absence of six months, during which time he shipped more than four hundred ore and coal cars, which had been built in Chicago and Pittsburg for the Fl Paso and South western railway, Conductor T. H. Purcell returned to Douglas this morning, accompanied by Mrs. Pur- cell, who had been with him the greater part of the time he was away from the city.
 The duty of MT. Purcell was to in spect the new cars and then see to their loading with coke from Penn sylvania and also coal. During the scarcity of rolling stock on all the roads of the country last year it was found to be necessary to load the cars in the east to insure their arriv- al at their destination at Fl Paso Empty cars were appropriated by railroads wherever they were found and to get them back required much time and trouble.
 Mir Purcell stated this morning that there were thousands of idle men in all the eastern cities and there seems to be no immediate prom ise for resumption of industries which will give employment to the idle.
 On Monday morning next, Mr Pur cell will resume his place as conduc tor of the Benson passenger train and he declares that he is glad to be back in Douglas among his friends.

 IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

J. O. Martin, who has been in Hacni- ta for several days looking after the work on the mining claim in which he and other Douglas parties are interest ed, was obliged to return suddenly by injuries received in a runaway at the mining camp. He arrived on crutches yesterday afternoon.
 MT. Martin said that Wednesday evening he and a boy at the camp started out with two horses and a spring wagon to haul some water to camp The road to the spring is down a long hill and soon after starting the horses, for some reason or other which he could not explain, started to run. They dashed down the hill at a tremendous rate of speed and over turned the wagon, throwing both occu- pants out on the ground. Mir. Martin found when he attempted to get up that high right ankle was done for with bad sprain, besides being bad ly bruised up. The young man that was with him was not badly hurt. MT. Martin secured a pair of crutches sey- eraI sizes too small for him, but with which he was able to get around with.

OPEN ATTACK ON GOVERNOR
 LATEST MOVE
Sturges Moved at the Recent Maricopa' County Conven- ton to Eliminate All Praise for kibbey.

PHOENIx, Ariz.. April 9.-An open attack on Governor Kibbey, aimed at the part his administration has taken recently in Maricopa county, was averted at the republican city conven- tion by nothing but the remnant of party harmony that remains intact in these parts.
 Opposition to Governor Kibbey and his followers came when c. M Sur ges, one of the Fourth ward dele gates, moved that all praise of Cover nor Kibbey and his administration be stricken from the platform, which had been prepared by City Attorney Pres colt and was presented by him in a series of resolutions.
 Waxing warm under the collar, Sturges spoke his mind freely, and did not spare the application of the rod to what he looked upon as a wayward child, who was so selfish as to want to be the whole republican party. But for the timely action of some of Governor Kibbey's political opponents, who foresaw the danger that might arouse from a decision on the part of the republicans to "throv down. covernc Kibbey, Sur. ges would have had his way
 Attorney J. NJ Jamison, after open. ly admitting that he had nothing but condemnation for the interference oi the administration and it's attempt tC dictate to the rest of the party, ad vised that the Prescott resolutions be adopted
 To palliate Sturges and his faction who were ready to take any drastic step that would place them on record as being against the administration Prescott interpreted the meaning oi his resolutions.
 Prescott said they were not intend ed to place the stamp of approval up on the interference of the federal or ficeholders, but were simply to put the republicans of Maricopa on rec ord as endorsing the official acts oi Governor Kibbey.
 Taking from Prescott the resolution he had framed, Sturges indicated thf exact section that he thought should ha stricken out His idea was that +hs city convention should only en Serse the city administration sDf leave the territorial administration to take care of itself.
 Without mincing his words, Sur ges said that Phoenix republican! were treated a few days ago to what follows an attempt of the territoria administration to be the whole show

CARDINAL LOGUE COMING
Catholics of New York Are Preparing
Great Reception In Honor of
Primate of Ireland.
Special to the Herald.


New York, April 23.-Catholics of
New York and vicinity, and especially
the Irish element of that faith, are
preparing great reception in honor
of Cardinal Logue, the head of the
Catholic church in Ireland, who is
due to arrive here tomorrow Cardinal
Logue is coming to attend the great
celebration to be held next week in
honor of the centennial of the arch
diocese of New York. He will be the
central figure of a notable assembly
of prelates that will include arch
bishops, bishops and priests from
many parts of the United States and
Canada
His Eminence Cardinal Michael
Logue, archbishop of Armagh, has
been primate of all Ireland since
1887, prior to which time he was CO.
adjutor to the late primate. Cardinal
Logue is man of great learning and
is renowned for his piety He does
not mix in Irish politics, but takes an
interest in the country's welfare and
knows how to make his influence felt
when he deems it necessary for the
public good. His almost boundless in
fluence among the Irish people was
recently illustrated in a striking man.
ner. He objected to the policy of one
of the Sim Fein party organs which
editorially spoke in favor of forcing
the priests out of politics. Cardinal
Logue denounced the paper, and his
mere denunciation was sufficient to
drive the papers readers away to
such an extent that it was found no
longer profitable to run it.
Since announcement was made that
Cardinal Logue was to come to this
country he has received many invita-
lions to visit Philadelphia, Chicago,
Baltimore and other cities His Emf
nence, however, is man of much
work and little play, and cares little
for travelling or holiday making n
is therefore very doubtful if he will
extend his American visit beyond this
city, especially as he will have an OPP
portunity of meeting here Cardinal
Gibbons, Mg Falconio and other emf
nent churchmen whom he might de
sire to visit.

ton ON the International and Great
Northern railroad, just opposite this

that the river continued to rise all
last night and that the water was
nearly up to the depot. This news

that nearly all the track of the Inter

estimates are to the effect that at
least half will have to be replanted.
Cotton seed is very scarce and obtain
ing the amount needed will be diff
