THE REUNION
(Continued from last week,) , ;i
We finally arrived at the fe
15KJ PAClvlNO I'LANT,
Where we found a huge f ?ree of st
hands excavating, grading and laying
foundations for the two big pack- ing
plants of Swift and Armour to ; !'
cost ?r>,000,000 each. t'here will ' V!
be 100 acres of ground taken in by ' "
these two plants and their stock
yards. The Armour plant will be ''
500 feet square with r. killing clpaciry U>
of 3,000 hogs, 000 cattle arid "J,500
'ijNshoep per <lay. Tne Swift fdant will .
' be-ol ab >ut the same oapacity,
The excavation began something p(
like one month previous to ray visir. . ,
There were 225 hands and 75 teams
at work. There will be 13,000,000
feet of lumber used in the construe
tion of each of the plants. Mr. S* 0(
D. Shannon, ol Miss., was in chartze I
of tlte excavation. Mr J. M. Hall,
of Va., is the civil engineer in charge .'
who gave us the dimensions of the 01
departments as follows: Lard re- ,u
finery, 180 x 1.50 feet; engine and c'r
boiler room, 80 x 100; smokehouse, 1
66 x 140; hog cooler, 150 x 150; .
boef cooler, 150 x 150; oil house, >c
100 x 100; slaughter house, 140 x Sl.'
200 feet. There will be five sheds ^
for the local fire engine plant, repair 1
shop and blacksmith shop in equal ^
proportions. The pay roll is $3,500 ^
per week. About 2,500 hands will ()
be employed by the two paekeries. u
There will be railroad connections 'j*
with all the railroads leading into c 1
Fort Worth Mr. L. C. Walter, of n<
St. Joseph, Mo., is superintendent 01
of construction, whom I found to be
a very pleasant gentleman and gave
me all the information requested. ()l
The building is to rest on concrete ^
fnnnilnlinn li.lfli nl:int.a urill
about 7,000,000 brick, 3.000,000 ^
feet of cast iron ami 7.000.000 yards 1
of concrete. The building will be n
) eight stories high. Car and machine ?!
shops arc to be erected 80 x 100
feet. There will be a hid' iniiilion ai
gallon water storage with a'l necessary
lire ennippjge. The water will
bp supplied by six arte i tu wells 300 c
feet deep and will supply good pure S
water from the upper timber region di
known as poluxy sands. There will d
bo an electric light and ice plant w
built and a regular police system es ri

I From this place we visited the ai
Foit Worth packing plant and were p
ghov/n through. This plant is built tl
of stone in tho rough and is near the u
now packing plants. They were not w
killing that day which 1 regretted u
very much as I would like to see tho v
slaughtering process. I was shown 1;
^ through the entire plant, however, t
*%nd it was very interesting. It is s
quite a small plant compared to the t
mammoth one building, hut they do jj
a large business. We were shown t
the hogs hanging in the cooling room, t
The temporature is way down near v
zero and though the day was warm (
I felt chilled through ufter being in 1
in the room two minutes. The meat a
is stored on the lower doors and our i
guide said they had only a little on 11
hand now. But hero is what I saw, 11

Fort Worth was close oa to
10,000. This, in connection with
bat I had seen, convinced me that
art Wortli was coining She i.s a
ty of between forty and fifty iliotis?
id, and everything in sight is modn
and up-t > date. I'd like to own
at town as an investment.
Find ng I had an hour to spare
sfore my train left, I telephoned the
iperintondent. of the Masonic Orlati's
Home to send the Tallabo to
e co lege for me, and I took ruy
and on the corner to citch a car,
it there seemed to be some delay
the car and after waiting half an

ip up, one that I was saving for

who insisted on my coming

i lie wanted to show me the Home.
; was with sincere regret that I had
i decline the kind invitation to visit
lis beautiful homo. I took a few
des around the city by car line, and
it a glimpse of the mannificent rosencea
to be seen on every street,
id then took the train
BACK TO I)AI,LAS.
Returning to Dallas Saturday
/ening late T learned that Mr. P.
anger, who had died on the Thursny
before, was to be buried on Sunny.
I went to his beautiful home
here the corpse lay awaiting the ar
val of his son from* New York,
'be body had been embalmed.
1 then went to the post office and
scended the tall tower from which
oint I obtained a splendid view of
le city in every direction. While
p there a vory hard ram and strong
rind came up and caught several of
s. The dome being open we got
ret before we could get down. The
idies were somewhat frightened by
be hard wind. Upon reaching the
tre^t we noticed a commotion across
he streer, and going over to investi;atc
I learned that there had just
>een a runaway, the carriage conaincd
Mrs. A.sher and her daughter,
dsn tors from issis^ippi, and Mrs.
Johen nnd hor son. Tho carriage
lad boon turned over and Mrs. Asher
ind Mrs. Cohen were very seriously
njured. Mrs. Asher was not expected
to live. Miss Asher had hus

PAUL SAN?!Hit's - ITNURAL.
At 11:30 the great procession following
the remains of Mr. Sauget
o o
began to enter the cemetery.
I have seen a number of large
funerals in large cities, but this one
was the largest by long odds 1 had
that I had ever witnessed, i count 1
ed the vehicles up to one hundred,
when they got so thick and crowded
that I could not count any further,
and as the lloral tribute was being
brought in I quit and turned to watch
the beautiful designs that were
being brought to the family square
where the grave was. There was
eight wangon loads of these d -s'gus.
I took notes of them all w mid
fill a column, but as this a: trbb> has j
spread out considerably already.* 1 j
will desist. i nere were harps, gates
ajar, pyramids, pillows, wreaths, ami
in tact almost every floral design imaginable.
It was the grandest floral
tribute I ever saw and the reader
can have no conception of ir unless
he had seen it lc wis the undis
putable evidence of tlio higli esteem
in which this noble man was held
by the citizens of Dallas. It was
the firm of Sanger Brothers who
toak the old soldiers to Dallas from
their home at Austin of which mention
has already been made, Tnis
funeral must have cost several
thousand dollars in flowers alone
A number of policemen had to be
stationed to prevent the crowd from
crushing those near the center.
Having secured u place near the
grave I had an opportunity of a
good view of the arrangement of
the designs and of the whole
proceedings. There were hundreds
of people that did not get within a
hundred foot of the grave until
after the services were over.
