GHATTANOOGA Is csdwnrn. Interesting Exercises at the'Various State Monuments—The Ceremonies In Do: tail—Governor ‘ McKinley’l Patriotic Address. CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 19.-——The tens of thousands of people in this city and its neighborhood, natives and visitors, drawn by the ceremonies of the dedication of the Chattanooga and Chickamauga National park, were astir early today. Before 8 o'clock every thoroughfare in the city Was thron ed. Not since the battle that oc- curl-e here thirty odd years ago have there been so many people in this region. Estimates as to the size of the multitude vary. Some of the conservative ones place it at not more than 50,000, others at 100,- 000 ormore. At daylight the people began to move toward Chickamauga, and from that time until afternoon the trains and electric cars reminded one of those leading to the World’s fair at Chicago. The crowd was Well handled. A large number of special policemen were on duty, and there was no blockade to speak of. At.the battlefield were hundreds of vehicles of every sort and description, prepared to carry passen- gers to any part of the field. The exercises today were held at the various monuments erected by states to the various re iments which took part in the battle of C ickamauga. Governor MoKinley’s Speech. Governor McKinley made a speech at Snodgrass hill at the dedication of the Ohio monuments. He expressed the thanks of his state to the commission for the able and satisfactory performance of itsduties and said that in many respects the battle of Chickamauga was unlike any other battle of the civil war. The gateway in the mountains was to be either won or lost, and while the success of the Union arms there was extremely important to the Union cause the overthrow of the Union arms there and the holding of this territory were indispensable to the Con- federate cause. He then called the roll of the regiments and organizations which participated in the battle, mentioning each by its number and commander. Speaking of Ohio’s illustrious ofiicers present during the two days of fighting in eulogistic terms, he referred especially to General Rosecrans’ high soldierly quali- ties, which earned for him the gratitude of the state. In the number of men ac- tually engaged in the magnificent valor displayed by both armies, in the splendid gallantry with which they assaulted and met assaults, and finally in the appalling losses which both sides suffered, he said that great conflict had few equals in the history of the wars of the world. As was said by a distinguished Confederate sol- dier in his official report, he had “never known Federal troops .to fight so well and never saw Confederate soldiers fight bet- ter.” Patriotic Sentiments. In closing the speaker said: “The war has been over 30 years. There never has been any trouble since between the men who fought on the one side and on the other. The trouble has been between the men who fought on neither side, who could get on the one side or the other, as occasion or interest demanded. The bit- WHERE GENERAL LY'I‘LE r‘ELn. terness and resentments of the‘wzir‘ belong to the past. and its glories are the common heritage of us all. What was won in that great conflict belongs just as securely to those who lost as to those who triumphed. The future is in our common keeping, the sacred trust of all the people. Let us make it worthy of the glorious men who died for it on this and other fields of war. In this great battle some fought to~ save the Union, others to divide it. Those who fought to save triumphed, and so the Un- ion survived. Slavery was abolished, and new, band in hand, all stand beneath the folds- of one flag, acknowledging no other, marching forward together in the enjoy- ment of one common country and in the , fulfillment of one glorious destiny. ” The State Monuments. Governor John T. Rich, with his staff, the members of the park commission, ar- gived at the hill afew minutes after 9 o’clock. Chairman C. E. Belknap, presi- dent of the Michigan commission, in a brief speech, in which he told of the work done, called the assemblage to order and then introduced .Governor J ohn T. Rich, who spoke briefly. Colonel Henry W. Dufi'ield of Detroit responded. ’ When he had finished, there was music l ‘Illfiiois monuments were dedicated on the site where Widow Glenn’s house stood during the battle. It is a few hundred yards southeast of the famous “Bloody pond.” The widow’s house was burned during the fight, but “Bloody pond” is still there. It was so named because its , water was red with human blood after i the battle and the people living in the vicinity say that since that terrible day animals have refused to drink of its wa- ter. It was 2 o’clock when Governor Alt- geld and his party arrived. Several thou- sand people, principally from Illinois or those who had served ‘ ments, were there to witness the ceremony. Colonel H. SnReeves, president of the . Illinois commission, called the meeting to ’ there. order. Prayer was, offered, after which Governor Altgcld was introduced' and made his address, turning the monument over to the government. Responses were made by Colonel Smith D. Atkins and Colonel J. G. Everest. The benediction was then pronOunccd. The exercises attendant upon the trans- fer of the Indiana monuments to the gov- ernment took place at Lytle hill, as the ridge south of the Dyer House is called in memory of General Lytle, who was killed It is a short distance north of t 10 Widow Glenn’s house. General M. 0. Hunter was master of ceremonies. The exercises were opened by prayer by Rev. Dr. Lucas, at 2 o’clock. Hon. H. D. Mc‘ Connell made the address, turning the monuments over to Governor Claude Matthews, who responded appropriately. General Low Wallace and Colonel I. N. Walker, commander in chief of the G. A. R., also spoke. The exercises were con- cluded with a salute fired by the regiments of Indiana militia that were present. WAS DEFENDER FAVORED 9 London Truth Says She Was Not Ham- 'pered Equally \Vith Valkyrie. LONDON, Sept. 19.——Truth today, in an article headed “Yankee Yachting. ” says: ”It is simply false to say that the Defend- or was hampered equally with Valkyrie III. The captains of the steamboats took care that that was not the case. Things must have come to a pretty pass when a man with such belief in American sports- manship as Lord Dunraven seems to have had literally to throw up the sponge in disgust. , “These international contests with America, in any kind of sport, produce such ill feeling that it would be better if they should be quietly abandoned. When American yachtsmen conceive it consistent with their dignity and the fulfillment of their trusteeship as holders of the Amer- ica’s cup .to challenge the world to race under fair conditions, on a free, open course, acceptors will not be wanting on this side.” The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting this afternoon upon the letters which passed between Lord Dunraven and New York yachtsmen regarding the America’s cup races, says that it desires to reopen the controversy so far as to take the op— portunity to pay a tribute to the sports‘ manlikc behavior of Mr. Isolin. It is a pity, the article says, that Mr. Iselin’s handsome offer to Lord Dunraven could not have met with action. The American yachtsman, The Gazette concludes, de- serves thc respect of all lovers of sport. Man Eaters In Formosa. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept.

Damaging Evidence Adduced Against Preacher Johnson. | HIS WIFE UPBRAIDED HIM. She Thought It Strange That Annie Rog- ers Did Not Return Home With Her Husband—The Prisoner Be- fused Point Blank to Testify. \ Somnnvmnn, N. J.. Sept. 19.—Coroner Brady in beginning today the inquest into the death of Annie Rogers, the 18-year- old mulatto girl whose body was found in the woods near the Raritan river, half a mile from this place Sunday morning, hoped also to weave such a net of evidence as would clearly point to the colored preacher, Jacob A. Johnson, as her mur- derer. . L The first witness was 'Calvin Corlca, farmer. He said that about six years ago Annie Rogers, otherwise Beekman, called upon him and gave him a note which she had received from her employer, W. H. Horner. She had been in the latter’s serv- ice along time and had left his employ- ment. He had given her the note in pay- ment of salary. “I never saw her again until Saturday night,” the witness continued. ~ “Then she came with Johnson and said she want? ed the money. Horner had taken up the note meanwhile and. paid me $47.70 for it. “I gave her this money and got her re- ceipt, Johnson being present. I gave her four $10 bills and one$5 bill.” The witness could not tell how the girl was dressed nor how J ohnsoh was dressed. She had a satchel in her hand and both left to take the train back to Somerville. The witness described the bag which the girl carried. The girl was known to him as Beek- man, that being her maiden name. She told him she had» married since her last visit. The girl’smotlicr.,and family had tried to get the money away during her absence. Johnson was then called to the stand, but his counsel, Messrs. Steele and Mee- han, objected to his testifying. Prosecutor Dungan insisted that he should, and asked Johnson a dozen or more questions as to whether or not he had seen the money paid to the girl by the farmer, what trains he took back with the 'girl‘to Somerville, and what he did there. _ Johnson Would Nogiilnswer. Johnson leaned back in his chair, look- ing doggedly at his questioner, and refused to answer. He was then excused. Joseph German, the switchman em- ployed by the Central Railroad of New Jersey, testified that between 12:36 and 1 o’clock Sunday morning he saw the pris- oner, Jacob Johnson, with the girl at the railroad crossing." Johnson, he said, were a black hat, a light colored suit and car- ried a light colored bag on his shoulder. The girl wore 'a gray dress. He was attracted to the couple because they ran across the track ahead of the en- . gins, and by the girl’s remark, “By, by, 19.—-—Fifiy Pottawato- . their lands in severalty.

Webster offered prayer. kins formally turned the monuments over to Governor W. H. Upham, who received them and then transferred them to the . government in an appropriate address.

Sllgfil; Ballet tiganlfltesi} 4 The ' honey; I’ze agwine.” James Rogers, 8. colored man who told the coroner three days ago that he had seen the couple go down to the woods aft- er Gorman had seen them,was then called. Rogers, however, is out on bail charged with chicken stealing. rllwo warrants are out for his arrest on other charges. So he did not feel anxious to appear at the in- quest. His name was called in vain, and another warrant was issued for him. Witnesses were then called to show that Edward Beekman, the murdered girl’s brother, who might have been suspected, was at home all Saturday night. Kate Elizabeth Johnson, the Amazo- nian looking wife of the prisoner, who is herself under arrest as awitness, was then called. The same objections were entered against her testifying, as she was the wife of the prisoner. Under advice of counsel she refused to talk, but it was a hard matter for her to remain silent, and her efforts to keep her mouth closed set the crowd of white and colored men and women in court into a roar. Isaac Lewis, Johnson’s spu-in-law, who lives with him, testified that he saw the Beekman woman Friday night at J ohn- z son’s house. He did not see Johnson again until Sunday morning. The latter said nothing about the murder, but Lewis’ wife told the Witness her father had taken Annie Beekman to the depot. Lewis said he heard Johnson come home about 9:45 o’clock Saturday night and talk to his wife. Then he contradicted himself and said he went to bed at 10:05 Saturday night. He did not know how long he slept. After waking he heard Johnson come home. A Son's Damaging Testimony. Oliver Johnson, a son of the preacher, said that Annie Beekman came to his fa- ther’s house Friday night for the first time. She went away Saturday with his father to get the money from Corlea. The witness went to bed Saturday night at 9 o’clock and did not hear his father come home. His sister told him he' got home between 10:30 and 11 o’clock. “When I awoke Sunday morning, ” add- ed the witness, “I missed Annie Rogers and asked father what had become of her. He said he had left her at the depot.” The prosecutor then got the witness to contradict himself as to the time his fa~ ther got home the night of the murder. He had it 9:45, than 10:30 o’clock. The prosecution have showed that it must have been nearer to midnight, as the witness had made several purchases at stores during the night. Then the witness said that when he heard his father come home he got up and spoke to him. His mother abused his father for having gone out with the. Roger girl. “It’s mighty funny she didn’t come. back with you,” the mother had said. There was no supper after the father came ' home, although a sister of the witness paid they all ' had supper and ”prayers” and went to bed. . - f ‘u, u! .,:~ 5. 1' "\H" ' The, Weather. ”'5'” Fair; warmer; Westerly'winds. . ,_.
