ROAM)* A GREAT DAY AT LOUISVILLE. Fifty Thousand Veterans March in Line. The Grind Parade Yesterday Was th* Kvent or the Tweuty-nlotb National Eooaaipmeot of the U rund ir my of the Bepabllo?All the City Tarn Oat to Greet Them?Ex-Confederates Also lu Line. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 11.?After ?11 the demonstrations of the week, the parade to-day was the event of the twonty-nlnth national enoampment of the G. A. R. as It has been of all former encampments. Tbo air was full of pa? triotic music and the streets woro car nlvalB of rlchuess In design and provis? ion of the ted, white and blue. Along miles of bunting and amid hun? dreds of thousands of cheering citizens, tbo comrades once more marched on Southern soil. No contrast could be greater than that of tho rocaptlon of tho gateway of tho South to tho oppo? sition at its portals thirty-four years ago. Tho veterans themselves were the most intoresilng featuro of the parade, although everything that money and Ingenuity could command of warlike di-slgng wore added to the procession. Tho vetorans had spent two days and nights fit campflros and reunions, in hunting up bunk mates and comrades and In talking over old experiences in the service, but thoy say they nover fool "llko old times" till they get in line. And thoy formed a long, strong lino of "Yankees" in marching through Kentucky to-day, while thousands of "Johnnies" grew hoarao in cheering them along the way. And the ladles of Louisville and from all parts of the South la brilliant dresses joined in the great chorus of cheers as neartily as they were lntonso in bitterness along the marches in the days of strife. Tho veterans showed tho weighs of years and tbo effect of Berviae while matching to-day. It was tho general remark that thero were never so many old, lame and foeblo men in line. None of the old Union generals around whom they gathered so fondly at former encampments and who.e carriages they cheered so lustily in former parades wore here. Their portraits were seen along tho line of march, but thoy are bivouacing whore most of the comrades will soon \ la them. At sunrise the only clouds wero from the salute of forty guns, and the weather evan was for peaoe. The de? partments began forming at an early hour under the special orders to have the Iproctbaion move promptly at 10:30 a. m. At 0:30 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 saluto signaled all of the grand divisions to move. Under a proclamation of the mayor the streets where the divisions formed and the en? tire line of march were oleared of every? thing, while the Louisville legion, tho cadets and Kentucky National Guards patrolled the streets, and there was no delay. Mounted polioa first cleared the way, followed by a large detachment. The parade was headed.some distance in front of the first grand division by two ex-Confederates on horseback.Caps. John H Weiler and Capt. Wm. H. Har? rison. Thoy did not wear the grey, but were dressed In black frook coats, with silk hats and red, white and blue sashes, the same as members of the citizens' committee. They also wore red, white and blue scarfs and rosettes. Captain Weiler carried a very large flag and the stars and stripes were proudly borne by him. Captain Harrison carried a very largo wbito banner of peace mounted on a staff like the stars and atripes carried by bis Confederate comrade. The two flags were alike in every respect except in the colors, one being all pure white. In place of tho eagle on top of the etaff tho white banner had a dove car? rying an olive twig, designating peace and good will. Tho conception of theso two ex Confederates at tho head of the great procession of ox-Federal soldiers with tnoir respective flags was that of Colonel Cohn, chairman of the commit? tee on parade and review. The procession moved, on time to the great satisfaction of hundreds of jhousonds suffering from the beat along the line of march as well as those in line. The thermometor stood at 0U and there were a number of heat pros? trations among the spectators and vet? erans in line. General Lawler esti? mated tho number of veterans in line to be 50,000. Grand Army veterans and their friends to the number of 4,000 attended the grand oampflre at Music Hall to-night. Llko all other buildings in Louisville the hall was elaborately decorated and every one was just bubbling over with patriotism and enthusiasm. The camp fire opened with "Marohing Through Georgia," played by a military band. The Hon. Henry Watterson, editor of tho Louisville Courier-Journal then made the welcome address in behalf of the citizen's committee. He spoke In part as follows: "Comrades, for under the star-How. ered flag of the union all who truly love it are oomrades, in the name of tbo city and State, I bid you the heartiest wel? come. I have been in every State and territory of tbo union and I can truly say that I never camo away from any ? one of them where I had not found something to make me proud of my country. All that I do contend for is that you will find here more kinds of good things, and more of them, than you will find anywhere elso on tho face of tbo globe. "Let the doad pan bury its doad. You at least have no reason to com plain. You got away with as many of us as we got away with you. Brave men gone to Heaven have long settled tho :E, VA., THURSDAY i dl?*orono?b. Qod reigns and the govern went at Washington lives. They ehould satisfy ub all. It there la any moro fighting to be dono let's fro and lick England and take Canada; let's go and lick Spain and tako Cuba; let'a go and liok creation and make the unspeakable Turk vote the American ticket. We can do It Shoulder to shoulder, with the world before na und old glory above us, who shall stop uc? "No surrender, no protender. Pitted together in many a tray; Lions In fight, and linked In their might. The North and the South will carry the day." "All that Is wanked In this great land of ours Is for the plain people, as Lin? coln called them, to realize there la noth? ing whatever to divido them. They are the same. The monstrosity of slavery out of the way, the foolishness of seces? sion out of the way, and the nation hav? ing actually had its new birth of free? dom, what but ignorance and prejud go to hinder the stalwart American in Mlnuesota from taking the hand of the stalwart American In Georgia and c.slN Ing him 'brother?' "Both came from a common origin, good old Anglo-Saxon and Scotch-Irish stock and uro welded together by com? mon Interest and a common destiny, bone of one bone, flush of one flesh, one in national nsplratlon and friendship God made this contlnont for us and consecrated it to freedom. The trans flguratloi of nature not loss than tho transfusion of blood clearly Indicates the will of God. "Wo are glad to Bee you. Come again. The latch string always hangs outside tho door and the only pass word shall be, 'I am an American oltl/.on ' " Mr. Watterson was frequently, duriDg his speech, applauded, and when bo finished tho building fairly shook with the cheers that were given for him. Col. R T. Jacobs made a Bhortspeech of welcome In behalf of tho Louisville comrades and Commaudor-ln-Chlef Lawler responded. Other campflrea were held and great enthusiasm man? ifested. A HOKKIBLB AOOIDENT. Four Men Killed and Several Wonnded by the Explosion of a Caisson. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 11 ?A horri? ble accident, resulting In tho death of four and tho wounding of several other members of the Louisville legion, occured shortly after 5 o'clock this morning by the explosion of a caisson. Tho accident occurred on Broadway, between Third and Fourth siroo-.s, where tho First Kentucky artillery were stationod for the purpose of firing the morning salute. Bye witnesses of the dlsas-or say that th? explosion was caused by dropping the caisson on the friction primer of tho piece. Tho gun was situated direotly in tho canter of the street, pointing toward Fourth ave? nue. Two of the bodies were blown over the trouce tops and horribly mangled. Two horses attached to'tha cannon were so horribly mangled they hud to be killed. Tho dead are: Corporal A. L. Robinson, Private Charlys Biocbner, Private A McBride and Driver W. Adams (colored) The wounded; Ser? geant Fred Conn and Private E. William Hobos. All the men, excepting the colored driver, wero members of the battery A, of the Kentucky National Guard, and all reside In Louisville. It Is feared that Fred Conn will die. The. wholo left side of his face was blown off. Evon if he should recover he will bo blind and horribly disfigured. Hobes was badly burned about tho face and bruisod. 'The place where the accident occur? red Is one of the finest residence dis? tricts in the city Fortunately, few people were on the streets, owing to the early hour, or the Hat of killed and In? jured would have undoubtedly been greatly increased. The body of the colored driver, man gled almoat beyond recognition, fell on tho front porch of a residence, fully 300 feet from the place where the explosion occurred Just outside the fence and on the Bldewalk was the body of Private Woods. Bits of flesh and pieces of bloody uniform were scattered all along the street, clinging to the tree tops and in the shattered windows. A leg and half a coat wore found on Third street, one block south of where the explosion took place There were sixty-six pounds of powder in the caisson. Rich? ard Cogan, who was about two blocks from the caisson when it blow up, said the noise it made was terrific. Too concussion was so great that the build? ings even at that distance we.ro shaken, and in several of the houses around him wlndowB were shattered. The accident has cast a shadow of gloom over the city. Tho regiment to which the young men belonged Is mado up of tho pic* and flower of Louisville. Many of them are society leaders and are of wealthy families. Captain David Casdeman, who was Id charge, was riding at the side of the detail He escaped Injury. Tho report that one of the men was smoking Is denied by Captain Castleman. AmtTo Americana Steamship Line.

A TUX AS SENATOR'S VIEWS. lion. Roger <_>. Hills AgalnstMhe Free Coin age of Sliver. Washington. Sept. 11.?Senator Roger Q Mills, of Texas, has written a letter to tho Hon. James G Dudley, chairman of the Demoorallo State oom mltteo of Texas, in which he comes out squarely against the free coinage of silver by the Uaited States independ? ently cf other nations. In his letter ho says: "I have been called npon to give the people of Texas an expression of my opinion on the financial questions now being discussed on the stump and In the press of the State. "I have spoken In and out of Congress on all the phases of the ponding con? troversy, and had supposed that my opinions were known to all of my con? stituents. I repeat now, what I havo so often Bald, that I am in f*vor of retain? ing both gold and silver in our circula? tion, and have been over since the coin? age question haa boon brought into con troverKy. T advocated tho unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 1G to 1 as long as I could see a prospect of keep? ing thera both In our circulation. "The continued fall of silver and tho progressive abandonmont of it as a standard cf value by othor countries haa separated the two motalsso far that tho conclusion ha? boon forced upon my< mind that the United States nlono can? not bring them to this par. But this Is a result that cannot be produced by any obo nation bec.uso no one country is able to control tho demand and supply of all the gold and Bilvor In the world. We must ascertain what wo can do In? dependently of other countries ;?nd what the best interests of the United States require us to do." In ooiclu8lon, he advocates payment of the public dobt as rapidly as possible; opposes tho sale of Interest bearing bonds In timo cf peace, and favora issu? ance of non-interest-boaring Treasury notes to tido over temporary deflclonclea In the revenues.
