Many Old Soldiers March Again In the Streets of Louisville. Great Annual Parade of the G. A. Ila—The Order or March—Many Evidences of Fraternal Feeling on Every Hand. Confeds Head the Line. . LOUISVILLE, Sept. 12.—After all the demonstrations of the week the parade today was the event of the twenty-ninth national encampment of the G. A. R, as it hasbeen of all former encampments. The air was full of patriotic music, and the streets were carnivals of richness in designs and profusion of the red, white and blue. Along miles of bunting and amid hundreds of» thousands of cheering citizens the comrades once more marched on southern soil. NO contrast could be gateway of the south today to the opposi- tion at its portals 34 years ago. Only one grandeur of the demonstration, and that is the electrical display. The picturesque array of red, white and blue electric lights across all prominent streets, intersections and on many buildings, that had been ad- COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF LAWLER. mired so much by the visitors, could not contribute to the glory of the day. But the veterans themselves were the most in- teresting feature of the parade, although everything that money or ingenuity could command in the way of warlike designs was added to the procession. The voter- Fans had spent two days and niaits in campfires and reunions, in hunting up bunk mates and comrades and in talking over old experiences in the service, but they say they never feel ”like old times” till they get in line. And they formed a long strong line of “ Yankees, ” in march- ing through Kentucky‘today, while then- sands of “Johnnies” grew hoarse in cheer- ing them along the way. And the ladies of Louisville and from all parts of the south in brilliant dress joined in the grc_at chorus of cheers as heartily as they were intense in bitterness along the marches in the days of strife. Many Feeble Men In Line. The veterans showed the weight of years and the effects of service while marching today. It was the general remark that there were never so many old, lame and feeble men in line, but they proudly kept step and ‘ftramped, tramped, tramped” just as if they were the boys still “march; ing through Georgia.” They seemed to feel sad that they were under new com- manders, but also to rejoice that they had survived to see this new era. None of the old Union generals around whom they gathered so fondly at former encamp- ments and whose carriages they cheered so lustily in former parades was here. Their portraits were seen along the line of march, but they are bivouacking where most of the comrades will Soon join them. And in that silent majority Grant, Lee, Sherman, Johnston, Sheridan, J ackslon- and other leaders could today have 1...;i no more of peace or more of good will to ~ man than was felt and expressed here amid scenes that beggar all description and without the least vestige of sectional feeling. At sunrise the only clouds were from the salute of 40 guns, and the weather even was for peace. The departments began forming at an early hour under the special orders to have the procession move promptly at 10:30 a. m. At 9:80 another salute was fired for the first grand division to form. At 10 a. m. the guns indicated that the escort was moving to the head of the column, and at 10 :30 the salute signaled all of the ten grand divisions to move. Under a procla- mation of the mayor the streets where the divisions formed and the entire line of march were cleared of everything, while the Louisville legion, the cadets and Ken- tucky national guard patrolled the streets, and there was no delay. Mounted police first cleared the way, followed by a large detachment. Striking Evidence of Peace. The parade was headed some distance in frent of the first grand division by two dis- tinguished ex-Confederates on horseback -—Captain John H. Weller and Captain William'H. Harrison. They did not wear thegray, but were dressed in black Prince Alberts, with silk hats and red, white and blue sashes, the same as members of the citizens’ committee. They also were red, white andblue ’searfs and rosettes. Captain Weller carried a very large flag, and stars and stripes were proudly borne by him. Captain _Harrison carried a very large white banner of peace mounted on a stair like the star and stripes carried by . his Confederate comrade. The two flags ' werelalike in "every respect, except in the colors, one being... all pure white. _In:_the placepf the eagle on the top' of the staff ‘. the-white banner had a dove "carrying an 1 olive twig, design‘ating peace and good will." The conception of these two ex- ,Confederates at‘the head of the great p110- ‘eessignpf air-Federal “soldiers ‘vjkith‘thgir , a s A MAGNIFICENT '_ PAGEANT. greater than that of the reception of the ; thing could have added to the impressive I ré§pectiv‘e flags was that Of Colonél cons, chairman of the committee on parade and review. Following these new participants, who were striking features of the parade, the divisions lined up as follows: Drum corps, Louisville legion. Grand Army band of Canton, 0. Colonel Henry S. Cohn, chairman committee on parade and review. Thomas Satterwhite, J r., and Captain C. E. Hordstron, adjutants. Special citizen aids (red sash).

Among the features of the parade was Old Ned, the warhorse, over 40 years old, that has heretofore trimmed with the boys along the line of march. Old Ned is now so feeble that he today rode on a float. The New Hampshire department carried a large eagle, the Ohio boys all were buckeycs, the Kentuckians had corn and crackers, and others here the emblem of their states. RAILROADING EXTRAORDINARY. The New York Central Flier Breaks All Records For Fast Running. BUFFALO, Sept. 12.—The New York Central flier arrived at the Central station in Buffalo at 12:40, having made the dis- tance from New York to Bufl'alo, 440 miles, in seven hours. This breaks all long distance records of the world and proclaims the Central and Hudson road the possessor of the cham- pionship. This beats the time of the Em- pire State express 1 hour and 4.0 minutes and knocks nearly three-quarters of an hour from the latest and much vaunted English record of 450 miles from Euston station to Perth in 7 :45. The flier passed Batavia at 12:07, West Batavia at 12:14, Looneyville at 12:25 and entered the train shed here at 12:40 fiat amid the cheers of hundreds of people gathered to witness the actual finish of a Wonderful record breaking performance. Charley Hogan, the pilot of engine 003, was surrounded by a crowd eager to con- gratulate him on the run from Syracuse, 149 miles in 141 minutes. Hogan mod- estly said that he could have done ten minutes better, but for a heavy head wind which he encountered in the run from Batavia. As it was he made the last 80 miles in 24 minutes, averaging 48 seconds to the mile. Several miles, however, were reeled off much faster than that average. The run from New York to Albany, 143 iniles, was made in 21/; hours. An Umpire's Cry of Libel. PALATKA, Fla, Sept. 12.——As N. H. McCreary, editor of the Gainesville Sun and a member of the Florida legislature, was passing through here, on route to Gaincsville, he was arrested on a charge of criminal libel preferred by Dr. Stein. A few days ago the Gainesville and Palatka baseball tea-ms played a match game here and Dr. Stein umpired. Gainesville lost, and the Gainesville men alleged that Stein hat “robbed” them, using a baseball term. The Gainesville Sun, McCreary’s paper, was severe on Stein’s umpiring, and the latter resented it by having the editor arrested. A Heavy Flood In Kansas. FREDONIA, Kan, Sept. l2.—-Evcry rail- road in this vicinity is water bound, and not a train has passed through this city since Monday night. The Kansas Pacific passenger train from the north has been here since Monday morning, and, like the Santa Fe train, is unable to-go north or south. The water in Fall river is about at a standstill, and is eight feet deepover the water company’s engines. I." v- Ten SWeet 5.; Caporai ' Little Cigars . :9 sou) "BY ALL DEALERS. V “‘r SIX sauna KILLED. A Caisson at Louisville Explodes With Frightful Results. BODIES BLOWN TO PIECES. The Accident “'as Very Similar to That at Chicago During the Great Bail- road Strike—The Victims Were All Horribly Mangled. LOUISVILLE, Sept. 12. -—A terrible acci- dent, resulting in the death of six men of the First Kentucky artillery and tho wounding of several others, occurred early today by the explosion of a caisson. The following are the dead: Albert Robinson, corporal. Charles Oestrich, priVate. \ Charles Woods, private. . McBride Hutchins, private. Howard Irwin, private. William Adams (colored), driver. The names of the wounded, so far as obtained, are Frederick Cohn, eyes and face badly burned, and William .Hobbs. The accident occurred on Broadway, be- twocn Third andFourth streets, when the First Kentucky artillery were going to Phenix hill for the purpose of firing the morning salute. There were 60 pounds of powder in the caisson. Eyewitnesses of the shocking accident say that the explo- sion was caused by dropping the caps on the friction primer of the piece. The gun was situated directly in the center of the street, pointing toward Fourth avenue. The bodies of two men were blown over the house tops and were horribly mangled. Two horses attached to the cannon wore so horribly mangled that they had to be killed. All the killed men were members of Battery A, First Kentucky artillery of Louisville, considered the finest military organization in the state. At the Norton infirmary, where the in- juries of the wounded were attended to, it was said later that Cohn is likely to die. The left side of his face was blown off. Even if he should recover, he will be blind and horribly disfigured. Hobbs was badly burned about the face and bruised. Few People About. The place where the accident occurred is one of the finest resident districts in the city. Fortunately, few people were on the street, owing to the early hour, »or the dist of killed and injured would have been greatly increased. , Every window in the block was blown out. Nearly every one in the neighborhood “was asleep, and the noise and concussion caused by the explo- sion almost created a panic. Half clad men and terrified women came running from their rooms. The body of the colored driver, mangled almost beyond recognition, .fell on the front porch of a residence, fully 300 feet from the place where the explosion oc- curred. Just outside tho fence on the sidewalk was the body of Private Woods. Bits of flesh and pieces of uniforms were scattered all along the street, clinging to tree lcops and in the shattered windows. A leg and half a coat wore found on Third street, one block south of where the explo- sion took place. They must have been blown over a three story and basement house to have fallen there. Pieces of hu- man bodies were found on the tops of ad- jacent houses. . It is believed that the body of Private Hutchins was completely blown to pieces, as it has not yet been found. A hook and ladder truck of the city fire department was called, and with ladders every house top in the vicinity was searched in vain. But on nearly every house top were found portions of bodies. The body of Howard Irwin was terribly mangled. It was found at the intersection of Broadway and Fourth street, almost a block away. Captain Castleman’s Escape.- In a short time news of the disaster had spread over, the entire city. Bulletins were posted at all the neWSpaper offices and in several of the public buildings giving the names of the dead and wound- ed. The accident cast a. shadow over the day’s pleasure making in connection with the Grand Army of the Republic parade. The regiment to which the young men belonged is made up of' the members of the best families of Louisville. Captain David Castleman, who was in charge, riding at the side of the detail, escaped injury. Colonel J. B. Castleman of the First artillery, to which Battery A belongs, said .it was one of those unfor- tunate accidents that cannot be guarded against. A similar one occurred in Chi- cago during the strike, in which four men Were killed and several wounded. Governor John Young Brown, who was stopping with Major George B. Easton, near the scene of the explosion, was asleep in bed. The explosion stunned him. All the furniture in the hall was damaged and the leaves torn from a tree in the front yard. In the house next to Judge Easton’s every window was broken and several persons were-badly stunned. E. W. McMannon, who lives at the corner of Fourth and Broadway, describes the accident as follows: “I was attending to the wants of my G. A. R. boarders when the explosion oc- curred. Ithought the world had come to an end. Several peo is in the house Were knocked down, an one was slightly bruised. I assisted in clearing away the debris. One foot was found in an alley in the rear of this house. A leg was found in the front yard. The mangled remains of the man lying between the car tracks at Fourth and Broadway were terrible to gaze upon. ” The explosion was heard for several miles distant. Crowds of people gathered on the scene to view the terrible disaster. They were kept back, however, by a spe- cial detail of soldiers and police. No one was admitted within the intersection of Third and Fourth streets. exclamations lamenting the death :of the ' soldier boys were heard. A Woodeutter, Kills His Wife. .. I HUDSON, Mass, Sept. 12.—-Arad Tay- Ilor, a woodcutter aged about 64 years and I living about a mile from the Berlin post office, killed hiswife with an ax today.
