1888 election day. J. Rouhbekq, 59T Magazine street. REV. C.

r. EVANS, D. I Presiding Elder New Orleans District of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. In no otner respect than bis height is Rev. Dr.

Charles F. Evans a little man. Eestless activity and persistency have qualified him for the position he now hold both in the hearts of the people and in his church. Dr. Evans was born on Walnut bayou, Madison parish.

Dec. 2i, 184 1, and after residing; in different sections of the state came to New Orleans. He was a pupil of the public schools here, but ac the age of 14 the support of his mother, brother aud sisters to an extent devolved npon him by the death of bis father. Ha entered into business life but continued nnder private instruction his higher education. In 1HC2, Mx.

Evans enlisted in the confederate army, and was in Hardee's Division. Ruggles' Brigade, at the battle of S'liloh. One of the last men to leave Corinth, when evacuated in 1S62, with his regiment, he was ordered to the trans-Mississippi department, nnder the command of General Richard Taylor. He participated in the battle of Labadieville, and was taken prisoner and sent to Now Orleans, where he remained five months. The night before this battle he was commissioned chaplain of the Crescent Regiment, in which, from the outset, be performed the dou- Lble duty of soldier and chaplain.

In February, 1863, he was exchanged, and was iu active service at the battles of Mansfield. Pleasant Hill. Marksviile and Yellow Bavon. During the ensuing year, on furlough, he was permitted to cross the Mississippi, and was detained, under general orders from Richmond, in the command of Colonel Fred X. Osden.

on tbe east bank of the river. Under Rev. Linus Parker, in Felicity Street Methodist Episcopal church south, Mr. Evans waa what is technically known as "converted." Five years afterwards he was licensed to exhort, and in three more he was ordained preacher Aug. 19, 1SGL As local preacher he did effective work in Carrollton and Algiers.

In IS'A be joiued the Mississippi conference and was stationed in Canton, but in December, 1SC3, returned to New Orleans and occupied the pulpits of the Cadiz street and Louisiana avenue churches for three years. It was during this pastorate that he was first connected with the New Orleans Christian Advocate, oue of whose editors he now is and has been for a number of years, and whose columns always contain work from his pen. Mr. Evans was admitted into full connection in conference in December, ordained deacon by Bishop J. O.

Andrew Dec 12, listiS, and elder by Bishop R. Paine Dec. 15. 18457. From 1S09 to 1872 he was at Monroe, in 1873 on the Trenton circuit; in 1874 at Monroe again.

He was transferred to the Little Rock conference in Arkansas in 1872 by Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh, and was located at Arkadelphia two years, at Pine Bluff three years, at Spring Street church in Little Rock one year, at Hot Springs two years, and at Shreveport three years. In 1887 he came back to his old residence in New Orleans as pastor of St. Charles Avenue church, and was about two meuths past made presiding elder of the New Orleans district.

In every one of these changes Dr. Evans' work was effective, and he is popularly known and loved throughout Louisiana and Arkansas. His public services have been frequently recognized. While in Hot Springs he was appointed by the state a visitor to the University of Arkansas. In 1S80 from the same college he received the degree of doctor of divinity.

In the aggregate, he has been secretary of the Louisiana conference for thirteen years, has been on the boards of visitors and boards of. trustees of all tne church seminaries and has taken an honorary part in numberless college commencements. He took a conspicuous past in the first temperance' movement after the war in Louisiana, and started one in Arkansas. Besides these, in his pastoral connectio he has built three churches and one par-sona On the 30th of Angnst, 1874, Mr. Evans married Miss Laura P.

Ellis, the daughter of Colonel R. M. Ellis of Areola, but formerly of New Orleans, where he was a prominent commission merchant. Mrs. Evans is a lady of refinement and many attainments.

She has four children and is a model wife and mother. Mr. Evans belongs to quite a number of organizations, among which are the Knights of Pythias, Knights Templar, Odd Fellows, Good Templars. Knights of Honor and Legion of Honor. Although tbe delivery of sermons is one of the least duties of a preacher it requires a mental perception and cultivation far above the ordinary man.

As a preacher Mr. Evans has ueeq particularly successf uL His travels have given him a store of anecdotes.

The business plrio? of tr.e mulls at 20 ot. Charles street, "EOS EST BUB WATS02S." An Old Merchant of New Orleans Who Dfed Recently at Plttaburg, Pa. The Pittabarg Dispatch of April 10 gives the following: They are going to bury Robert Watson to-day.

What a host of memories, tangled with the history of Pittsburg's medieval age, will cluster about that gaping grave Robert Watson seemed to have really passed beyond the horizon of Allegheny county long before his sudden aud unexpected death on Sunday last. From the old brick house, tbe Watson homestead, in which he breathed his last, he apoultt see the azure beit of the Ohio binding the base of the distant hills as it rolled superbly on toward the great waters of the gulf. He could see beside that stretch of river the very tirst mileetone of his life. For it was npon the Ohio that Mr. Watson began his remarkable career.

The old house where the latter days of Mr. Watson have been cast is a ni table relic of ante-war times in Pitta-burg. Of late the grounds around the straggling pile of masonry, cut with odd windows, capped with queer chimneys and abounding in old-faahioned porches and trellised galleries without, have been quite swallowed up by the unrestrained owrh of shrubbery, grass and weeds, gaunt or garish according to the Beasou. The unkempt character of the approaches to the house most impressed the stranger who drove out two miles from the city hall npon the Per-rysville road. He wonuered, perhaps, who lived in that quaint manse with its out-of-the-world air.

Perhaos he saw emerging from one of the thickets a man of the age which demands veneration, with do wing beard and hair of silvery white and a face that expressed good will and kindliuess more than aught else. This was Robert Watson. A glance at a few scenes in bis life will repay odd perchance. Nothing like a complete recital of all the interesting episodes in his life conld not be crowded into this coin inn. So let us look at page here and there.

A little while after the bombardment of Baltimore by the British iu 1812 Robert Watson was born in that city, which, it may be observed, is to-day very little ahead of Pittsburg, com mercially speaking, according to the. clearing-house statements, riia parents shortly after nis birth decided to seek their fortunes in the west. They started on the adventurous journey across tbe mountains in the Conestoga wagons of those days. Their original intention, I believe, was to make for Kentucky, wnither immigration waa tending mostly then. But Robert's mother protested against journeying further after they had reached Pittabarg.

It was not so much that she liked the little town between the rivers as that she feared to travel further with the rough Germans who were driving the wagons. Thus by chance Robert Watson was transplanted to Allegheny soil before he had learned to know his birthplace. As a boy. he drifted after school days into his father's business of coopering, and on the broadhorns loaded witu baled staves made the journey of the river to New Orleans. It was natural that he should be one of the pioneers of the river trade, and there are many men alive still who remember Robert Watson the river captain, and later the admiral of the huge coal deets.

We are prone to forget iu these days that the band of men who gave Pittsburg her first start in the world was made up chiedy of the pioneers of our river trade. Ot these old-time builders Robert Watson was one. When the war of the rebellion broke out Robert Watson was in New Orleans. He lived there in those days most of the year. His bachelor quarters.

I have heard many who visited them say, were the most comfortable in that city of superb ease. The latchstring was always out, and as an entertainer Robert Watson could give odds to most southerners even. It was not a pleasant crisis for Mr. Watson, the owner of coal deets. of costly steamers, of warehouses and docks in New Orleans, of plantations in Louisiana, the friend ol thousands of southerners, tne unionist and northerner by bloody and education, when the echo of the first shot at Sumter smote ana frenzied the south.

He stayed in New Orleans, however, and bo great and universal was the respect in which he was held that he was not molested all through tue perilous times before General Butler and the union forces came to New Orleans. And yet all that time he never pretended allegiance to the confederate cause. It was dyiug over some of Mr. Watson's property in New Orleans that tbe stars and stripes was first seen by the sailors of Farragut's fleet in their victorious advance up to New Orleans. This was how it came about: Among the vessels belonging to Mt.

Watson which were confiscated by the confederates was tne powerful steamer Ajax. Old rivermen well remember what a mighty vessel the Ajax was. When the confiscation took place a watchman on board ot her, whose name is now forgotten, secured the stars and stripes and stowed them away under a false bottom, whicn he made for the purpose in his chest. On the approach of Farragut's fleet this watchman, who still stood faithful to the nmon, took the glorious flag from its hiding place. Rigging it on a great steering oar on board a barge lying at Willow Grove landing Mr.

Wat-sou's property he had the flag gayly waving by the time the Hartiord. the Brooklyn, the Colorado, the Iroquois, the Peusacola and the other ships of war steamed up the river. It was literally the first glimpse of the national fiag whicn the uniou sailors saw upon tne land that day. Even then the stale dag of Louisiana and Che staia and bars were dying above the city buildings. tt waa at this time, when the news of Farragut's successful passage of the arrow a and his victory over the forta had been announced, tnat Robert Wat-sou saved the life of an indiscreet anion sympathizer who expressed his joy at the event in the street.

Mr. Watson rescued the unfortunate man from the mob. and kept the crowd back with his revolver until he waa beyond pursuit. Under the administration of General Butler Mr. Watson, who was one of the few uncompromising union men in New Orleans at that time, rendered great service to the union cause.

A lriendship started then between the brainy little general with the frosted presidential aspirations and Mr. Watson which lasted till death cut its cord. When Butler waa canvassing tnis section of the country in 1884 it will be remembered that Robert Watson was often to be found on the platform. The cloud of misfortune which fell upon the Wastons after the war had passed over them and injured them not materially, is of too recent date to afford a subject for comment htre. It is a very sad indeed that it was not granted Robert Watson to see the revival of his estate, for there is but little doubt now that such a revival is at hand.

Although Robert Watsqn held some high offices, and if he would might have held higher for once the governorship of Louisiana was virtually en-derea him in tbe troublous days of reconstruction in the south he would probably prefer to go down to posterity not as a great merchant, a money king that was, but siinpiy as "honest Bob. Watson." for so nis associates have been wont to speak of him for 50 years. PHILIP WE RUTIN'S CELEBRATED PIANOS AND ORGANS. 135 Canal Street.

When the war, began he enllntea as a private In me Twenty-fourth Kentucky Infantry; was soon promoted to adjutant, and took part in tne battle ot Bbilob and varioua battles under Buell, Rosecrana and Sherman. He was badly wounded at Kenesaw mountain, and shoitly afterwards was honorably discharged from tbe service. After the war Joyce went to Iowa, studied law, and graduated in the office of United Stales Senator Wm. B.

While digging the trenches in which to lay the foundation for the extension of Magi n-nls' Cotton Mills on Constance and Calliope streets, ten coffins containing human bones were found by the workmen. As a rale the boxes faced the east bnt were In no regular order, and seemed to have been buried at different times. Tbe coffins were of nnplaned cypress or pine planka which were much decayed, while the bones were, in most part, broken and considerably sloughed. The graves were remarkably shallow, being a little over two feet below the street level.

Ic waa in tbe same square, but on the opposite side that two skeletons were found wnile tee foundations of Maglnnia' Mills were being laid about seven years ago. The lot in wnich the last ten were discovered had been for many years used aa a saw mill, and about a century or mure in the past that area was part of the Poeyfarre estate. The negro quarters were In that neighborhood, and me shallowness and neglect of tbe graves would indicate that they contained all that remained of some of his servants. A more extended eioavatlon might reveal a greatly larger number of graves. Dr.
