No one who was present at the rather
Indifferent reception accorded to the com
mittee which came hero representing
Philadelphia Grand Army organizations
to lnvire Plckett's men to join In their
encampment would have dreamed that
there would have been such a acramble
to get into the band-wagon.
The committee that received the visi
tors held out little hope that they would
be able to do more than enlist twenty
five veterana to undertake the trip, but
last night, another committee, In charge
of the arrangements, spent two hours or
more In purging the list of willing ones
and reducing the number of those who
are to represent the camp and division
within reasonable limits.
One hundred railroad tickets have been
sent from Philadelphia for the free use
of the veterans, and th list made up last
night Includes IOS? names, the odd num
ber having d?*poslted the money to buy
their tickets.
Their was a called meeting of Plckett
Camp at the camp hall, for the purpose
of discussing the arrangements. Mr. C.
T. Loehr, chairman of the Executive
Committee, presided.
NO LADIES V. Hat BE TAKEN.
Those present were given to understand
that oniy veterans would be supplied
with tickets, and entertained while in
Philadelphia, and absolutely no provision
has betn or will be made for their
wives or daughters.
Mr. E. Scott Gibbs was appointed as
sistant marshal. Every one who goes
is expected to wear the uniform o? Plckett

silk badges, bearing the State arms and
the following Inscription, In gold, will bo
distributed on the train: "Plckett's Men,
August. 1*18, Philadelphia." The flag
BtSd to the camp by Philadelphia
Brigade will be carried by the camp
standard bearer.

PHILADELPHIA. August 3.-The ex
cessive heat of the last three week? or
more culminated to-day in one of the
most territlc electrical storms that have
ever visited this city. The rainfall was
tho heaviest in the history of the local
weather bureau. In one hour and three
quarters 5 4-10 Inches of rain fell. The
heaviest previous rainfall was 5 1-5 inches
in twenty-four hours, about twelve years
ago. There was an almost continuous
hash "f lightning, and many flag-poles
and buildings In nearly every section of
the city were ?truck, causing sevrai
small fires, and doing great damage. Tel
egraph and telephone service throughout
the city was practically at a standstill
for several hours. The cellars and first
floors of hundred? of business houses
and dwellings were flooded.

POYNTER A DARK HORSE.
Mr. i'oynter may be regarded a? a darl

the Democrats, who held out against hin
