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

"No surrender, no protender.
Pitted together in many a tray;

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?

"Wo are glad to Bee you. Come again.

tho door and the only pass word shall

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

were held and great enthusiasm man?

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.

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.
