THE NATION'S WORKERS.
All Industry Portrayed in
the Great Parade in
Honor of Washing
ton’s Name.
EIGHTY THOUSAND MEN IN LINE.
The President Looks On at a Civic
Display of Surpassing Interest
and Enormous Magnitude.
New York, May 1, 1889.—The great
event of today, and the last In the series
of Centennial celebrations to commemor
ate the inauguration of Washington, was
the civic parade, designed to iUustrate
the industrial progress of the country
during its century of national life.
The splendid naval and military demon,
strations of the past two days, surpassing
any of their kind ever witnessed in the
new world, seemed not to have satiated
the appetite of the people for sightseeing.
From a very early hour this morning
crowds began to gather at all the places
along the line of march from which a
view of the parade could be had, and by
eight o’clock the sidewalks all along the
route were well fringed with the waiting
throng.
The parade was under the management
of General Daniel Butterfield as chief
marshal, and the smoothness with which
the programme was carried out showed
the excellent result of his careful atten
tion to details during the elaborate prepa
rations which he has been making for
weeks past. Early this morning the
streets leading east and west to Fifth
avenue from Fiftieth to Fifty-ninth streets
were alive with delegations from the
various organizations which were to
comprise the procession, and the work
of disposing them in proper position
rapidly proceeded, so that when the
order to start was given each
detatchment fell into line without delay
or confusion. All the streets in the vicin
ity were kept clear of traffic, a large force
of police having been detailed for the pur
Sose of preventing any interference with
le formation of the parade.
THE PRESIDENT TAKES HIS PLACE.
The President was escorted from the
Residence of Vice President Morton to the
reviewing stand at Madison Square, which
h& reached a few minutes after ten
O'clock “
The parade started at twenty minutes
past nine in the morning from Fifth ave- '
nue and Fifty-seventh street, the column
passing down the avenue. As its head ,
reached Twenty-seventh street Mayor ;
Grant, with the representative '
delegates from the civic, indus
trial and commercial societies and 1
organizations of New York, who had
been stationed in that vicinity awaiting
its approach, moved and took the lead un
til the President’s reviewing stand was
reached. The Mayor bore an address, .
which, on reaching the stand, be form- :
ally presented to the President amid 1
great applause from the multitude and
the booming of a hundred gun salute j
from the ships in the North River. The
President gracefully signified his ac
knowledgement of the address and ex
tended formal greeting to the city’s repre
sentatives, who then took the places re
served for them on the grand stand !
around the President. j
The column then proceeded down the
avenue, past the grand stand, with bands j
playing and flags waving in honor of the
President, who courteously responded to ;
the salutes of the various organizations.
A continuous cheer from the ranks with 1
as constant a response from the admiring
throngs added excitement to the scene as
the gay procession swept past. 1
First came a detail of mounted police,
which swept the street clean from j
curk to curb of all stragglers.
A battalion of police on foot followed, !
escorting the Chief Marshal General But- 1
terfleld. A standard bearer waved aloft 1
the chief marshal’s banner, a flag of yel- '

of Washington and his generals, mounted.
The life-like representation of the J

ton, Putnam. Schuyler, Lee, Lafayette, j
Steuben, Rochambeau and the other Rev- J

Brooklyn followed, escorting the tableaux J
<of Washington Crossing the Delaware, -
and Washington at Valley Forge. }
The next division was headed by the
Lafayette Guard 100 strong, the Liberty 1
Guards, and the Second Battalion Irish
Volunteers, guarding a tableaux of Wash

fating intact in this city. t
Following came the Knights of Temper- (
ance, 500 strong, under Grand Commander
.Robert Graham; and 200 Knights of
Pythias, under Colonels Thomas and
McGill, escorting a tableaux of Washing

FIREMEN IN LINE.
The next division consisted of visiting
and local exempt and volunteer firemen’s
associations. They represented a large
number of cities and towns throughout
the Eastern States, and presented a fine
appearance. The widely known veteran
volunteer firemen, Harry Howard and
Min1in.pl Prmip lprl tViPm mid wprp t.hpin
selves among the most notable figures In
the procession. A feature of this part of
the parade was the old Mechanic’s Bell, of
the Eleventh ward, New York. It weighs
1,500 pounds, and has rung the
hours of labor in the ship build
ing district for sixty years and
more. It hangs in a high skeleton tower
at the foot of East Fourth street. It was
mounted on a platform, drawn by eight
horses and rung at intervals by Peter P.
Haulenbeck, the oldest living ship joiner
on Manhattan Island.
The division which followed was led by
Marshal C. S. Burns and 400 Brooklyn
police, and was made up of workmen ply
ing their various trades. It was beaded
bv 300 ship joiners, with vessels on trucks
and men working at their construe ion.
Then came floats bearing plasterers, clo ik
and suit workmen, painters, marble cut
ters, plumbers and gas fitters and carpen

illustration of their handicrafts, and
escorted by large delegations of their fel
low workmen. About 7,500 men were in
the division.
ALL NATIONS UNDER ONE FLAG.
In the next division the military and
livic organizations of the various nation
ilities were participants. There was a
nonster delegation of German citizens
jontaining nearly 35,000 men. Marshal
Emil F. Schaefer, with his staff and
sscort, led the van, and was followed by a
urge number of delegations of German
Ymerican sharpshooters, rifle clubs, sing
ng societies, veterans of German regi
nents of the late civil war, and many
organizations.
The chief element of interest in this
livision, and one of the most strikiug
'eatures of the whole parade, was the
leries of allegorical tableaux devised
nainly by Joseph Keppler, of Puck, and
>een arranged to have them displayed in
i hall for the benefit of those who were
mable to see them today- The industries
o with which the German-American citi
;ens are chiefly identified, were repre
ented by living figures. The President
ivmcea a lively interest, in tnis part or tne
larade.
The floats' showed the German heroes
if the Revolution, de Kalb, Steuben and
ithers, and one of the most admired and
ippluuded represented the “Emigration
Bused by the Revolution in Europe in
848'” Wild applause greeted this dis
ilay.
The remaining tableaux were also of
treat beauty and significance. A model
if the Brooklyn Bridge stood for Ger
nany’s part in the mechanical arts of the
:ountry, J. A. Roebling having been a
Jerman engineer.
The next two divisions were made up
liiefly of Irish-Americans, as the pretea
ng one had been of German-Americans.
L'hey were led by General J. R. O’Beirne
md General M. T. McMahon, as marshals.
Che first organzations in line were the
libernian Guard, uniformed; the Ancient
)rder of Hibernians, about 10,000 strong,
md the Irish-American League.
They presented a flue appearance and
vere the occasion of great enthusiasm
imong the onlookers.
There were various illustrative trade
'roups, Orangemen, Odd Fellows, Hose
Companies. Catholic Unions and various
ocieties were interspersed. About mid
vay was one of Washington's coaches,
Irawn by four horses, and specially es
orted by 1,500 colored men, forming the
olored Centennial Committee. The Six
y-ninth Regiment, famous for its gal
antry during the late war, came in for a
arge share of the applause that was
.warded this section of the parade.
This division ended the procession. It
lad originally been expected to have over
00,000 men in line, but this number was
leemed unwieldy, and General Butterfield
ssued orders for a reduction of 20 ner
eut. in all delegations, so that the num
ier actually marching was 80,000.

There was a rumpus in the police sta
tion on Monday afternoon. It was pay
day, and as soon as the checks were sent
down for distribution each man was
struggling to get at the desk first. They
were doomed to disappointment, how
ever. After making better time to the
bank than they ever do when on duty>
the foremost ones were told that the
checks could not be honored, as they did
not bear the endorsement of City Treas
urer Smith.
Considerably crestfallch they tramped
back to the station bouse. There the ludi
crous side of the situation struck them
and they waited until the rest went over
to experience the same reception as they
had.
The trouble occurred through an over
sight on the part of Mr. Smith. He hail
forgotten to send the bank a warrant for
the amount. He was at home at the time,
but was soon hunted up by some of the
men who had wives and dreaded the con
sequences if they neglected to take home
their money, especially before the holi
days. He arranged the matter, but even
then each man was paid f5 short, as the
§olice appropriation was overdrawn.

“finest” cheered their colleagues by sing

given the choice of going over to New

arrested. Most of them chose the former
mode of procedure and thus Hoboken was
kept rid of objectionable characters.

GERMANS ONCE, AMERICANS NOW.
Singing Societies Applaud Mayor Cleve
land’s Patriotic Words.
The Germans were not behind in yester
day’s great display of patriotism. None
were more enthusiastic in celebrating the
hundredth anniversary of the inaugura
tion of the first President of the country
of their adoption than they, and the cele
bration by the German singing societies of
Hudson county last night at Pohlmann’s
was a remarkuble demonstration of their
love for American institutions.
The large dancing plazetta was covered
with eight tables extending the entire
length, around which they sat and drank
their favorite beverage, while they sang
patriotic German and American hymns
under the direction of Prof. Oscar
Klahne, and listened to appropriate ad
dressees by eminent sneakers.
A large stage at the cliff end of the
building was handsomely decorated. In
its centre was a marble bust of Washing
ton on an elevated pedestal, the base em
bellished with flags, shields and eagle. A
line of potted plants reached across the
rear end. In front were conspicuously
displayed two large shields draped with
American flags. Not a German color was
to be seen.
President F. C. Selnow made an open
ing address, which was followed by a
German chorus, by all the singing societies.
Ur. Hans Kudltcn delivered an eloquent
oration on ‘‘George Washington,” which
put his listeners in excellent condition for
a hearty salamander "To the Toast” led by
President Selnow.
The address on “The Germans in the
United States,” by Editor E. F. Stahl, of
the Trenton,S'tootszeittino, was delivered in
German. He humorously referred to the
first colony of Germans that came to this
country in 1608, and the one following in
1683, and singled out some of
the leading men of those days.
Then he passed on to the time of peace,
prior to the Revolution, mentioning the
first protests made by Germans in 1608
against slavery, and the protest of the
Philadelphia German merchants against
the importation of English goods. Then
he graphically described the parts played
by the Germans in the Revolutionary War
and in the formation of the government.
From those days he passed on to the Re
bellion and spoke of the influence of Ger
man society in politics, literature and art.
Discussing the question of personal lib
erty, he said, “We are not fighting for
beer, but for a great principle,” and ex
horted his hearers to stand together and
make use of the great power which the
German-Americans ought to wield in this
country.
Mayor Orestes Cleveland came in about
twelve o’clock. His appearance was the
signal for an outburst of applause. In
the course of his remarks, he said:—
“Previous to the invitation to be pre
ovuu nvic nuio u-♦ c inxitf x uau iuauo au vu
gagement to speak at a banquet at Del
monico’s. I tried to take both places in,
which accounts for the lateness of the
hour at which I arrived here.”
His Honor, noticing that the celebration
had been carried on almost exclusively in
German, regretted his inability to speak
that tongue, and hoped his remarks in
English would not put a damper on the
Erevalent enthusiasm. He did not be
eve it was in his power to do that, any
way. He spoke of the successful growth
of this government, and emphasized the
fact that it was a.governmeut by and for
the people.
“Royalty finds no place here,” he said, '
“We have royalty by the millions.” Con
tinuing his Honor said, “There are no
Germans,no Irish,no Italians in this coun
try. I am bound to believe they all take
the oath loyally and are loyal to the Con
stitution of the United States. Ours is a
great couutry. But, seriously, it is
a peculiar country. The great
military pageant in New York was i
really a demonstration of peace for every
man. That exhibition could not have i
been held in any other part of the world.
I have been in London, Paris and Berlin, i
and witnessed military pageants. There
was not power enough to protect a man
from being trampled upon. In New York
today every woman could feel that a mil
lion of hands protected her from insult
and injury every moment she stood watch- :
ing the pageant. (Applause.) I never
was so fllleu with a sense of the power
and glory of American citizenship as when ;
I witnesser. the end of that procession.
“You Germans know what a standing
army is; you know what a Bismarck is.
Give me no standing army, no Bismarck, i
Give me the people to protect themselves
and we need no standing army (prolonged
cheering). This country is in its infancy.
There are young men around these tables i
who will live to see the day when from i
Newfoundland to Vancouver’s Islands :
will stretch a family of States and over
them another tier, whose citizens will live
in an enduring atmosphere of peace,
power and human happiness." That time
Is coming. This sounds like a Fourth of
July oration,but Fourth or no Fourth, it’s .
true as Gospel.” ,
But his Honor drew the line at Mexico.
“I don’t know anyone around here who
is not foreign born, he continued, “if he
tiaotk) uu uuoctgb uatft a il » jcaio< » v c
come here for a purpose and the consurn- !
mation of that purpose Is making the
powers beyond the ocean tremble. On
my mother’s side I am an American. My '
great-grandmother was an Indian squaw.
That is about os near as one can get to '
American royalty.
“Jersey City is increasing in import- ;
ance. The next Centennial will see a
vast increase in population. My railroad *
friend Bonn will be able to carry all the ,
people over his road. He is growing ‘
younger every day by making people '
nappy and carrying them over the “Ele- j
vatea” with a gripsack, or some J
kind of grip. He isn’t bald, and
that shows he doesn’t think much, like .
my friends, Mr. Haas and Dr. Kudlich. 1
But it is such enterprises as his that are 5
making ns great. The spirit of enterprise 1
can go wherever it pleases in proper 1
limits. It has made the country a great J
bee hive; the admiration of the world, the *
fear of royalty. There is no stopping its
progress. The cry is ‘onward,’ and will
continue to be so. The bow of promise
spans the United States of America from f
the’Atlantic to the Pacific.” ,
His Honor was tumultuously cheered by ,
his German friends. Then E. P. Reich
helm delivered the address, “Our Const!- ;
tution.” 1

tennial Association, under whose auspices

It is thought that then Ross will change

“Tommy” Murray, the jolly station

ulled him over the bluff.
“Well,” said Tommy, when telling the

Notes of North Hudson.
John Ennuis and James Klumpp, of

AFTER JUSTICE BEASLEY
Application Made to Him
Today on Behalf of the
New City Government.
HE MAY ONLY FIX A DAY
For the Hearing of Argument on
Both Sides of the Charter Ques
tion.
Now that Centennial festivities are ap«
proaching a close, everybody is getting
down to business again, and the charter
fighters have drawn themselves up in
battle array to resume afresh the struggle
for the possession of the city offices.
The first move is being made today.
Senator Edwards is engaged in an indus
trious search for Chief Justice Beasley.
It had been arranged that he and
ex-Governor Abbett should go to Trenton
to consult him this mnrrimr hnt. in
qmries, made probably by wire in Tren
ton, brought the information that the
Chief Justice was not at home, and Sena
tor Edwards has gone to Belvidere, to
which place the Chief Justice is said to
have hied himself.
The knowledge that the Senator had
f;one on the hunt invested a visit Sheriff
lavis made to the City Hall this morning
with especial interest and some one
started a rumor that he was there for the
purpose of taking the City Hall by storm
for the new appointees the moment the
Chief Justice signs the order designating
them for the ad interim administration or
city functions.
The Sheriff laughingly said to me that
he expected to be commissioned to enter
upon his mission of gore at one o’clock
this afternoon, and that the moment he
begins the raid he will considerately tele
phone The Jersey City News office, so
that it may have its “special artist on the
spot” at once.
But this was only an “aside,” and he
has no idea, of course, of making the
raid.
The expectation of the men in office is
that the Chief J ustice will refuse to act
under the bill by authority of which Sena
tor Edwards’ application is to be made to
him. And even the Mayor’s appointees
do not expect him to act at once.
“ The only thing that will be done,”
said Mayor Cleveland this morning,
“when the Chief Justice is seen, will be
to ask him to tlx a day for the hearing of
the application. The petition may be pre
sented to him as an ca; parte matter; but
we have preferred to give the other side
notice of the proceedings, and so the Chief
Justice will merely be asked to set the
hearing down for a day certain.”
Mayor Cleveland replied, when asked
about filling the vacancy in the Sinking
Fund Commission, made by the declina
tion of Henry Lembeck, that he will do
nothing in that direction to-day.

AN INSULT AND A BULLET,
A Quarrel that May Result In the Death
of Thomas Farrell.
Edward Morton, a young tough twenty
five years of age, of No. 155 Laidluw ave
nue, was arraigned In Judge Wanser’a
Court this morning for the shooting of
Thomas Farrell, of No. 149 St. Paul’s ave
nue, on Monday night. John O’Connor
is also held. Morton made no statement,
and was remanded to await the result of
Farrell’s injuries.
O’Connor admitted that he went to
Morton’s residence, .where he boards, and
got a 44 calibre revolver at Morton’s re
quest and gave it to him. O’Connor is
held as the witness in the case, he being
the only person who saw the shot fired.
Through the kindness of Warden Os
borne I was allowed to see and converse
with Farrell this morning. He seemed
quite cheerful, but one could see that he
is very anxious as to the result.
He seemed reluctant to say much upon
the subject, but he told the following
story:—“I was in a saloon when Morton
came in, and in a few minutes he wanted
me to treat him. This I would not do,
and ho insulted me several times. I struck
him and he ran away. After
some time I went out and met Mortou on
the corner of Central and Beacon avenues.
He insulted me and tired upon me. The
shot struck me in the chest, and then
Mortou ran. I went to Dr. Horublower,
who could not Hud the ball and then came
here.”
Warden Osborne says that the doctors
think that the ball struck the breast bone
and glanced off, passing along a bone to
the shoulder, near the neck, and if that is
the case, it may cost him his life.
Farrell’s father said this morning that
his son was not even an acquaintance of
Morton’s. Farrell has the name of being a
quiet young mau. Morton, on the con
trary, is koown to be a boisterous char
acter. __
