The great union revival meeting
that has been in progress in Orange
for the past thirty days came to a
close last night, and it was with a
feeling of genuine regret that the
people of Orange bade farwell to
Dr R. A. Walton, his sweet singers,
Messrs, .lolly, and Smith, and hi* sec-
retary, Mr. Works.
Just before the- sermon ye*terda>
morning Mr F H. Farwell occupied
I ten minutes' time in taking a free
will offering from the people for the
evangelist. When Dr. Walton came
to Orange to hold this dieeijng there
wa* npthlng said as to compensation
N’o amount w»a fixed, as be positively
declines to place his work a com-
mercial basis that way, leaving ft
always to the people voluntarily to
mkke free, will offerings in any
amount they may feel disposed to i*ay
for this purpose.

Walton a check for •<*10.60, as a token
from the people of Orange of their

Sand Pumping Commenced at Half-
Pa»t Ten This Morning—Several I
Hundred Citizens Gather to Witness j
Flow from Big Discharge Pipe.
The big dredge is at work and unud
and water i* pouring into the low
places in the,city, the first Rand be-
ing thrown this morning at 10:36
o’clock.
The discharge pipe is throwing the
sand ,into the Anderson lot at the'
corner of Fifth and Main streets, and
the overflow is going onto the prop-
e.ty of Hart and Slholars just across
the street from the Anderson lo .
Within fifteen minutes after the
dredge had commenced operations the
Anderson lot looked like a ui 11 race,
wj*h the water almost at a level witn
the wall that surrounds the lot and
about five feet deep.
Not much sand was thrown at first,
the first few minutes being devoted
to the testing of the pipe line and the
stopping of the leaks at the joints.
Seeing, the announcement in The
Leader last week thafc there would be
sand flowing through the pipe this
morning, several hundred people had
gathered to witness the beginning of
operations and when the first sign
of water and sSnd coming was evi-
denced. there was a grand rush for a
good position along the brick, wall to
witness it. *
The pipe threw a steady and full ,
stream, being nearly three time* the
quantity of that thrown by the dredge
Sandow. which was incapable t>f dee
tng the work it was expected to do.
It Is highly probable that the dredge
will run twenty-four hours per day,

Cotton Prices Today.
New Orleans, June i.—The local
cotton market was very dull. Influ-
enced in part by developing apathy at
Liverpool, but to a greater exten by
anticipations of a bearish bureau re-
port tomorrow, the market opened
down 15 points on June and July and
7 to 8 points on the- new crop. Fall
and winter months held close ta the

Now that a good live city has been
secured to take the place of the Quit-
ters in the league, it is reported in
Orange that Crowley has blown up,
the explosion occurring this morning
when the team representing that city-
reached home after suffering three
straight defeats at the hands of the
Creoles at Lake Charles.
It is reported thtft the defeat ad-
ministered to the- Rice Birds yester-
day by the Creoles was the cause of
the citizens of Crowley deciding that
they did not care to spend any more
money On the team.
It is also reported that Manager D
W. . Collins of the Creoles was this
morning in receipt of a telegram from
one of the ex-Crowley players ask-
ing for a position, stating that the
Crowley team had gone defunct.
The falling out.of Crowley, if such
is true, while dangerous to the future
of the league, will not necessarily
break it up. It was given out at Lake
Charles yesterday that the Rice Birds
were in a shaky condition, but it was
thought probably they would pulj
through.
President Carbo slated in Lake
Charles that should Crowley decide to
give up its franchise. Lafayette was
ready and willing to take it and the
