The air was full ot patriotic music and the streetI were carnivals In the rlch- ncss ot decoration. Amid miles ot bunting and hundreds ot thousands ot cheering i citizens the comrades once more marched on I southern soil. i No contrast could be greater than that ot . the reception at the gateway ot the south tOday to the opposition at Its portals , thlrty- ? - tour years ago.

The picturesque array ot red , white nnd blue electrIc lghts , across all prominent street Intersections and on many buildings that have been admired' every night EO much by the vIsiors could not contribute to the glory ot the day. But the veterans them- selves were the most interesting feature ot the parade , although everything that money or Ingenuity could command In the way ot . warlke designs were added to the proces- sion. sion.Tho The veterans had spent two days and nights In campfres and reunions In hunting up bunk mates and comrades , end In talking over ell experiences In the var . but they say they never feel "lke old Umes" till they get ij' In line. AmI they formed a long. strong line ot "Yanl < es" In marching through Kentucky today , while thousands ot "Johnnies" grew hoarse In cheering them along the way. And the women at Louisville : and tram all parts at the south , In brilliant dress joined In the great chorus of cheers as heartily as they were Intense In bitterness along the marches In the days at strifa SIOW TiE WEIGhT OF YEARS.

Grant , Lee Sherman , Johnson , SherIdan alHI Jackson and other leaders could today have been no more at peace or have no more good wl to men than was felt and sincerely 1 expressed here today ( amid scenes that beggar all descriptions and wipe out the last vestiges of sectional feeling.

The train started off , but hall only gone a shert distance when the engineer dIscovered that the engine had been ! run on a siding and was pulling only the mal and baggage car , the rear portion ot the train having been cut off at the staten by the robbers. Evidently - denty they thought they had detached the express car from tile train and found that I was only the baggage car. When they discovered - covered their error they m'unted horses that were In waiting and skipped for the moun- lalns. ST. LOUIS , Sept : 1.A specl 1 from .

All the men excepting the color driver were members ot battery A ot the Kentucky National Guard and all reside In Louisville. As soon as tile accident occurred the city ambulance was called and the wounded men were taka' to the Norton infirmary , where their Injuries were attended to. I 19 feared that F'red 'Cohn will die. The whole let [ side at his face was blown off . Even If he should recover he would be blLd and horr- lily disfigured. Hobbs was badly burned about the face and bruised. The place where the accident occurred Is one ot the finest residence districts In the city. Fortunately few people were on the street , owing to the early hour , or the lIst of killed and Injured would have undoubtedly been greatly increased - , Every window In tile block was blown out. Nearly every one In the neighborhod was asleep and the noise I , and concussion caused by the explosion al- most created a panic.

A leg and hal a coat were found on Third street one block south at founl the explosion took place. They must have been blown clear over a three-story and basement house. Several threestory mangled legs and arms were found on the tops ot adjacent houses It Is believed the body or Private Hutchins beleved I blown to pieces. as It has not yet been found. A hole anti ladder truck ot the cIty lire department was called , and with ladders every housetop In tile vicinity was earched In vain for the missing body. But on nearly every 110uetop was found portions of the ! ' men.

Bulletins were posted at all the newspaper offices and In several of the public buildings . giving the names at the dead and wounded The accident - cident has cast a shadow at gloom o\'er tile cltr.

The glment to which the young men belonged Is made up at the pick and tower ot Louisville. Many ot them I are society leaders and are of wealthy I familIes. Captain David Casteman , who was In I charge , was riding at the side ot the detaIl . He escaped Injury. The report that one of the men was smoldnt Is denied by Captain Castleman. Colonel J. D. Casteman ot the FIrst battalion , to which Battery A belonged , 'says It was one ot those unfortunate cccidents that cannot be guarded against. A similar one occurred In Chicago during the strike . In which tour men were Idled and several waunded. Governor John Young Brown who was stopping with Major George D.
