General Alamiger ( J. W. Holdregc of the H. ATM. , mid W. S. Ladd , vice president of the system , visited Custer very recently.

Al , within two weeks , and also that Custer would bo the winter ter minus of the line. Of course it is their de sign to build to Deadwood as quickly as pos sible , but the heavy tunnelling and rock work between Custer and the Hill city will probu bly render it necessary for the road to make Custer the terminus for this winter if not longer. Air. .Uoldrege said they would make every effort to have the line in operation to Custer by August 15 next. In consequence of the advent of a railroad into Cnstcr in the near future many new busi ness houses are being established , real estate is in advance and many transfers are made each day. The only thing Custer has had to prevent , her from being a large town is lack of railroad facilities. Now she has them a bright future is doubly assured. The Chicago. Milwuukeo & St. Paul rail road is surveying a line from Chamberlain to Custer across the lately opened Sioux reserv ation. The route along the White Uiver is said to bo very feasible and one the company has long contemplated. The reservation is settling up so fast railroad facilities are an imperative necessity for the people living there. William J rtiies Wilson of New York City and party visited Custer during the lust llvo days. Air. Wilson was accompanied hero by his two daughters , Aliss Lilly mid Aliss Grace , II. C. Wicker , general manager of the Ilurney I'euk tin company ; I Icnry Thomp son. a lawyer from New York City , and Air. Frank Alecker , special correspondent of the New York Herald. The visit of this party is significant , as Air. Wilson is the largest stock ownerin the Harnoy I'eak tin company and ono of the most /.eulous and confident advo cates of lilacl ; Hills tin. All the members of the party were pleased witli the outlook and paid up some .yrfUXX ) due in tin bonds for tin mines. They contemplate buying largely before - fore returning to Now York. Air. Meeker was here to write up the IMuck Hills for the New York Herald. While at Cusler .lames Wilson and II. C. Wicker , on behalf of the Hurnoy peak tin company , and G. W. Ilnldrcgo and W. S. Ludd of the 11. & AI. had a lung conference and satisfactorily adjusted mutters of differ ence existing between their respective com panies. They will work in harmony for the fullest development of the resources of the Black Hills , especially Its tin Interests. As n Mimmcr resort Custer stands as n rival of any of the many points In the lllack Hills. While Hot Springs has springs possessing mineral properties that euro ninny diseases. Custer is the best point for consumptives and invalids of general ailments. In formation from sources of reliability is to the effect that there will bo many excursionists and sight seers hero the coming summer.

The .Several Hrotlicrlioods Join in One Oreat Organization. Ixnux.u'OM ? . Ind. , Alay 25.-One of the most notable meetings of railway employes over held in this city convened this afternoon. For some time past the question of federat ing the various orders of the railway service has bocn agitated , and today's meeting looked to the accomplishment of that object. Fully live hundred delegates were present from In diana , Illinois , Ohio , Kentucky and Michi gan , representing the following orders : The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen , Brotherhood of Conductors. Switchmen's Mutual Aid association and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. The meeting was called to order by William Hugo of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers. Colonel J. B. Aliiyuard of this city ad dressed the meeting. Ho said that much trouble already had been caused by the ord ers acting separately. What did ono organi zation amount to in a conflict with corpora tions ! It had been demonstrated that one organization could easily bo defeated in n contest with capital , but capital could .never triumph in a contest with such a federation us now proposed. Past Grand Muster Hobinson , founder of the Brotherhood of Engineers , said that the beneficial results of organized and disciplined action were no longer a matter of speculation , They were demonstrated truths. "In the great railroad lines of tills country , " said Kobinson , "is seen the most colossal aggrega tion of wealth the world bus ever known. Though occasionally appearing as rivals , they are constantly pooling their interests in mat ters of rates and there is every reason to be lieve that they also pool influences and power in any prolonged conflict with labor. It is against these gigantic forces with well known tendencies to imperious dictation and harmful measures that the brotherhoods of railway employes now find themselves called to fortify them selves. " Then Air. Hobinson said the only right course lay in federation. That would stop the trouble with the employers , because it would lead to the arbitration of all disputes and strikes would become a thing of history. Arbitration hud grown mitil n bill had been introduced in the senate by a tool of the rail roads to enact a law "so cunningly devised that should it become a law it must render nugatory the patient effort of many years to better our condition. " Ho thought the rail roads' next trick would bo to try to federate with their employes. S. E. Wilkenson , grand master trainman , was happy to state that the order of con ductors had gone down. All railroad men were beginning to understand that they must unite. Frank Sweeney , president of the Switch men's Mutual Aid society ; George W. How ard , grand chief of the Brotherhood of Con ductors , and John J. Haiinalmn , vice grand master fireman , also urged federation. Tonight a vote was taken resulting in the unanimous adoption of the section , and final adjournment was taken. The action of the convention is not final , as it must bo ratified by the Brotherhood of Engineers at their meeting in the fall.

Air. John II. White of Salt Lake City was in the city yesterduyund in conversation with a BIK : reporter in regard to the above bill said : " 1 represent a class of men in Utah who are members of the Alormon church , but not polygumists. We have never broken any law ; wo have taken the Edmunds-Tucker oath and I think represent as good a class of citizens as are to no found anywhere in the United States. Wo claim all the privileges of citizenship which all other law-abiding citi zens of the United States are entitled to. Wo have committed no crime unless it is a crime to bo n member of the Alormon church. Speaking from a business standpoint , if this Strublo bill should become a law , it would hurt the business interests of Salt Lake City and of Utah more than anything else that could occur. Aly reasons for thinking so are that at the present time Alormon and Gentile merchants arc members of the same cham ber of commerce mfll board of trade , also many private corporations are owned by Alormoii and Gentile stockholders and from u business standpoint harmony has been estab lished in Utah and all classes of people are united in the upbuilding of the city and the bringing to the front of the territory. "If the bill should become a law I fear it would cause the Mormon people to feel that their interests linancially were at stake. They having lost all civil power , they would have no one to represent them in any of the civil ofllces. There are many small towns in Utuh that today have no Gentile population , and In case of disfranchlscment the class of men placed in power would have to bo imported from elsewhere and not having any financial interests in the town in which they are hold ing olllce , nor yet any po , ver in the town to check them , avenues would be loft open whereby good men might bo corrupted. "Polygamy today may be considered u dead letter , a thing of the Just. The Edmunds- Tucker bill has effectually killed it. I do not know of , neither have I heard of a polygamous marriage- for several yours , and in my Judg ment it is dying a natural death. I believe the non-polygamous Alormons represent fully Ki or iM ! per cent of the mule population of the Alormon church in Utah and from my busi ness experience with the people , which is as , largo as any other man in Utah , I nm prepared to say that a better class of citizens do not live In the United States. I will further say that any virtue that may bo found among any class ot people in the United States a duplicate of the sumo can bo found among the Mormons , and there are many vices found in all cities of the United States which cannot bo found among the Alormon people.

There were but few sermons preached in the laud yesterday that were not in some re spects memorial services , introductory re marks to the pcans of praise that will uriso universally on the JSOth. In the Congrogu- tlonul church nt 2:10 : ! p. in. the services were devoted exclusively to the boys in blue. The room was decorated with flowers and the national colors and a largo audience was present. The addresses were delivered by Colonel J. J. Stcadnian and Judge Carson. Colonel Steadmun's address occupied about twenty minutes , mid was one of his usual eloquent efforts. AT Tin : MKTIIODIST CIIUKOIf. By special invitation the members of the Grand Army attended service lust evening at the Broadway Methodist church , and list ened to n splendid memorial sermon by the pastor , Hev. D. C. Franklin. The church was handsomely decorated with flags , bunt ing and flowers. There was a very largo attendance of the old veterans. They formed nt their hall and marched in military order to the church. Every pew in the body of the church was occupied , and chairs were placed in the aisles. The pastor chose for his text the l.'i'th Psalm , fith mid (1th ( verses : "If I forget thee , oh Jerusalem , let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember theo let my tongue cleave unto the roof of my mouth , if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief Joy " and 2d Cor. , Kith chapter , 13th verso : "Quit you like men ; bo strong , " The speaker emphasized the fact that love of country and homo were characteristic of all nationalities. The rich man amid his luxuries , and the poor man surrounded by bis poverty , alike share In this commendable and universal sentiment of loyalty and love. The two are inscuurablo and are the basis of patriotism , the loyo of country that makes possible the sacrifices of the soldier , the motive that makes the hero. A Persian cmbussudor in France attested his love of country by religiously saluting every morn ing before going out a tuft of earth taken from his native soij. It was to remind him that in nil the transactions of the day he was to think of his country and pro mote its interests. The pastor said ho had chosen the scriptural text because of the fact set forth : A diversity of sorrow , bondage , mockery anil suffering could not quench the 11 res of loyal devotion to the land they loved. Jerusalem was to David the center of all good and hence ho sings. The bible from begin ning to end inculcates and Honors patriotism. It is true that the supremedovotlon to a king dom not of this world has the prominence in the scriptures , but love of one's country is en couraged both by example and precept as in no othnr book in the world , so that it is pre eminently fitting that wo should meet in this place this lovely Sabbath evening. Patriotism lies deeper than any logical ex pression among those pulses of the heart which vibrato to the sanctities of homo and to the thoughts which leap up from the graves of our fathers. As a moral virtue It is a fixed disposition of mind to promote the safety , welfare and reputation of the com munity and constitution under which we live. It is lifted to the elevation of the ideal , where It is so hallowed by the affections and glori fied by the imagination that the whole being is thrilled and moved by Its inspiration , and drugery becomes exalted , suffering noble and death sweet in the coun try's service. It is not an idle tale that is told , neither is it the pomp and tinsel of show that brings an nually together the brave , heroic defenders of our country's Hag. Dr. Stephensoii , who organized the first local society or post at Do- catiir , 111. , in IsiXJ , bullded wisely and well. It was a grand conception of a noble order and had its birth in loyo and fellowship. Schoolmates , classmates and societies de light to keep up the memories of other happy days. Surely that affection which unites men who have suffered together must bo no ordinary one. Your associations are based upon convictions and inspired by love. This prompted ami gave a warm-hearted service from men loyal , bravo and true. Service gets poor and col'd , oven In the bravest hearts. If there is no glow of loyalty to animate It. The action In the heathen world which has al ways inspired the greatest admiration in true minds is the death of IKK ) Spartans who guarded the puss at Thermopyllu against the millions of Xerxes'soldiers , audit was re corded on the graves of the HOOthut they died in obedience to their country and her laws. How different Is your record ! You bled and suffered prompted by love and loyal devotion. Every star on your flag was u diamond. How the army loved the old flag. How unselfish the service ami suffering for others. You have marched to the summit , and now you are marching towards the sunset. The shadows touch your feet. Your numbers grow less and your gray hairs uro growing whiter. Decoration day approaches when you will march with measured tread to strew ( lowers and bring your tribute to those who ha\o passed the picket line beyond you. When the lust word has been spoken , when the shadows of evening fall , may you chant with loving voice the Immortal lliu-i of Theodore O'lluru , written in honor of the dead of the Alcxloun war , so timely und appropriate hero : Host on , embalmed and sainted dead , Dour us tlio blood ye gave , No impious footstep here shall trend The herbage of your grave ; Nor shall your glory bo forgot While Fume her record keeps , Or Honor points hallowed spot Where Valor proudly sleeps.
