Thia letter ia written on the eve of
battle , and before it is in print this
beautiful [ spot will bo the acouo of
the conflict and dreadful carnagowill take
the place of social and fraternal rojoic-
ings. The mon who are now exchang
ing greetings and mooting aa old com
rades and irionda will aoon moot at the
point of the bayonet , and shot and shell
will bo exchanged instead of compli
ments. Still the valor of the reporter is
equal to the emergency and if life is
spared will furnish a full report.
THE FOURTH DAY
of the reunion is the moat beautiful of
all and promises to prove the most in
teresting. The weather is lovely and
ho heat not so intense aa yesterday. The
enthusiasm increases and all present ap
pear to bo enjoying themselves. It Is
worthy of mention that
TJ1B DUESS PARADK
of last evening , at 5 o'clock , waa the fin
est yet had , and attracted the entire
camp to the parade ground south of the
camp , where it is estimated not loss than
20,000 people were asoomblcd. Tire
battalions were formed on a line extend
ing east and west , the band of the 21st
Infantry occupying the extreme right.
The first battalion , including nine com
panies , came next , and then the consoli
dated bands , 350 pieces , and next the
second battalion of seven companies.
The lines wore formed with duo precision ,
and passed in review before Camp Com
mander Thayer , General Morrow , their
staffs ami the officers of the department.
The imposing manoeuvres excited great
enthusiasm , and In all the sea of faces
there waa not ono but appeared pleased
with the sight. At the conclusion the
companies marched to their respective
quarters , followed by the assembled
thousands and amid the sound of stirring
music from the bands.
A OLOIUOUS NIOHT
succeeded the day , the camp fire at the
pavilion drawing a largo attendance and
eliciting great enthusiasm. The address
es by Capt. Ilenry and others were of
the usual style and were most mtereat-
ing.Tho
The feature of this evening waa the
exhibition given by the Lincoln Flam
beau club , an organization which sent up
about thirty of its members to entertain
visitors to Camp McPhorson. The uni
form ia of white from cap to tiowsera
and is very picturesque and attractive by
night-timo under the rays of a gorgeous
full moon. Aaaoinblylng at headquarters
twenty-four rounds of Roman candles ;
were dealt out to each member and then
the club marched to the parade ground ,
where a vast concourse of puoplo awaited
their coming , thousands occupying the
,
rand stand and surging masaoa on the
grounds. A upaco waa * ot apart lor the
exhibition on thr river bank and hero
the boya , who carried flaming torchea in
their hands , wont through a pretty drill ,
and wound up by firing off the Roman
caudles as they marched. :
From another stand near by hugo sky.
rockets were sent oft over their heads ,
forming arches of fire , beneath which
they paraded like a detail from the army
of Hadca. To add to the ofl'oct Greek
fire was not off In largo pani carried by
each man and lighted up the acono with
an unearthly glare. Aa it waa reflected
from the faces and forms of the crowd , >
it made the assembly look likea grand \I.
conclave in the court of hia Satannic >
Majesty , and the troi-a on the ialand J )
across the narrow stream resembled the
fiery forests across the Styx. The club
made a fine impression and increased it
to-day , wLen they raado their appear
ance at headquarters and serenaded S.
General Thayor.
AN UNKOUTUNATK AFFAIIl.
marred the pleasure of this sight some
what. A team of horses took fright at
the fiery display and ran away , colliding
with the high spirited team owned by
Honorable George Dornoy , which at once
started off on the run and raced through N.
the avenues at great speed. There wore
six occupants of the carriage and they
wore thrown out and several of them
injured. Elder Shinn and wife , well
known in Omaha , were both considerably P
bruised , the former the worst , It being
at firat thought that hia leg was broken ,
Quarter-Master F. G. ParcollB wife and
little daughter were badly shocked but
not bruised to any extent.
Another runaway occurred thia morn
ing and a woman und her five weeks old
babe wore thrown out and bruised up.
Among the unfortunate lucidents w u
the sudden illiifaj of a little four year old
child oT Mr. Jacob Bliller.pf thia county. id
which was seized with a violent CMO o :
cholera in fan turn about noon yesterday ,
and was removed from camp to the city ,
its life being dispalrod of. It was report
ed still alive this morning.
J. L. Bond , of Str msburg , TTho was
shot yesterday , was taken homo to-day ,
the bullet was not found , but la believed
that ho will coino out all right. Being a
man who supports his family by hard
word , a relief fund has been started in
camp , and ho will bo well provided for.
The foromoon of today was devoted
principally to the mooting of stnto asso
ciations of veterans and n very interest
ing sight it waa. Companies were form
ed in front of the state headquarters and
[ leaded by bands of music paraded
through the camp and out upon the
open iiold cast of the camp , where , form
ed in circles or hollow squares , their ban
ners flying In the center , the election
of officers waa hold and short speeches
made , after which the companies reformed -
od and marched back to camp. The
iltiina during the meetings , waa a , sight
LO behold and it , as well as Logan avenue
were literally jammed with people.
Some of the states had n tremendous
representation , Illinois having over 700
veterans registered at their headquarters.
Dthors have fewer present. A dologa-
Jon of four from West Virginia marched
down with a band and elected each other
officers , like the famous regiment in
which all were brigadier generals ex
cept ono man , who waa hired to bo a pri
vate.
Kentucky also has n small representa
tion , Pat O. Uawoa being the only man
that reported for the Blue Grass stato.
L'rtt had loat his grip Back and ulster and
liad his pocket picked at the hotel of every -
ory cent , but with the resolution and
courage for which ho ia so noted , secured
, wo bnnda and marched alone about the
grounds , lie presented an imposing ap-
loaranco and received a regular ovation
all along the route. IIo then mot and
unanimously elected himself to all the
odicea of the Kentucky veteran's aasocla-
.ion of Nebraska.
8UVEUAL NEW BANDS
arrived to-day , including the North Bond
3and and the Fremont band , which
alter yeatorday waa very highly compli
mented by General Morrow as the finest
jand ho had heard outside of the ser
vice. There were serenades without
number. The Twenty-first regiment
jand , in charge of Lieutenant Ebstion ,
serenaded the Wisconsin veterans about
) o'clock. A double line of mon who
lad belonged to the famous "Iron
Brigade" was drawn up in front of the
door and after the music General Mor
row passed around among the boya ox-
changiug hearty hand-shakes and renew
ing old acquaintances.
The "Iron Brigade" waa in the army
of the Potomac , and was composed of
; roopa under the command of General
3ol Meredithcomposed of'rogimentsfrom )
Wisconsin , Indiana and Michigan. Gen
eral Morrow was colonel of the 21th
Michigan. The iron brigade became his
torical at the battle of Gettysburg , where
; ho loss of mon was greater in proportion
: o the body of mon than any recorded
since the world waa created.
Later on the same band serenaded the
press and gave the boys amno fine music.
Thia band waa in Oregon for twelve yoara
and attended every public meeting within
a hundred miles of- their location. They
will next winter make a tour through
Nebraska , giving concerts at the prlnci-
lal cities , where there ia n euro thing of
i rare treat. Look out for them.
THE COUNCIL OF AIUIIXISTUATIOK
;
at its meeting this forenoon voted to re
consider the resolution previously adopt
ed to locate tha proposed Soldier's Homo ;
of Nebraska at Plattamouth , but the
question is not yet settled.
They also determined to dismiss the
charge of assault with intent to kill , filed
against the target shooter , who waa sup
posed to bo responsible for the shooting
of J. L. Pond and refund the man's
nonoy , the shooting apparently having
30011 accidental ,

TAKKfi THIS IIEI.T.
The Nebraska soldiers who paraded
were led by II. G. Harbor , who is ac
knowledged to have been the youngest
soldier that over enlisted in this state.
Ho entered the service throe
months bo fore ho WES
thirteen ycara of a o and served through
out the war , Jlo was not drummer ,
cither , but carried a gun and WBH a aol
, fighting , volunteer. The two regiments
monts from Nebraska were both ropro
soutod and carried the first ting carried
from this stato. It is of silk and now is
but n small and tattered romiudor
of its former glory. It saw
plenty of hot work. Gates Harbor
kept open house for the
boys and his tent was frcciuontcil by all
dis friends. There the reporter mot our
old friend Sorgt. Allison , formerly of
Omaha , and now at Fort McKinney , who
is as jolly ns over.
t'l'STKU TOST XO. 7
of the Grand Army , located at Omaha ,
wns early nt the reunion nnd came forty
strong , Commander Hlpomnccompauiod
them , nnd General O'Urion wns along to
enjoy the fun. They had a pleasant
location , and their banner was stationed
In front of the quarters to direct friends
to them. Ouster post had the largest
delegation from any visiting post.
Referring to Omaha matters , people
were delighted to see the royal old
Union Pacific band inarch in to-day ,
with Professor A. 11. Toozor , ita splendid
loader and teacher , among them. They
consolidated with the Fremont band ,
and made the welkin ring with their
music.
The Omaha Glue club wns nlso hoio
jut have not yet sung in public.
Crowdsj'lpourcd in nil afternoon to
witness the great sham battle which
tvns to take place nt (5 ( p. m , nnd
nt Iho appointed hour at least
10,000 persons were assembled nt
; ho epaco ooloctod for the fight , which
was n broad and level plain south of the
camp. The martini hosts were gathering ,
; ho sound of warlike music was heard
and the spirit of war hovered in the very
nir , BO that all wanted to rush to thu
front nud mingle In the fray. The im-
; ) ondiiig conflict wns unexpectedly
ivortod nnd the whole business of the
day suspended by n
OATASTllOl'HE
which throw the whole camp into confusion -
sion and excitement.
Opposite the parndo ground was n rude
amphitheater , roughly estimated to seat
3,000 people. It faced the battle ground
and the fort which will engage the gun
boats in battle , nnd waa perhaps twelve
Foot in height. It wns constructed under
the direction of the well-known bridge
carpenter Tomkoo , of Fremont , nnd was
supposed to bo very strong. It is claim
ed , however , that it was not securely
jraced , and at all events it proved un-
unsafo.
At 220 ; p. m. , juat as the field was
crowded and folks anxiously awaiting
; ho signal of battle , nn immense throng
iad taken seats on the structure nnd
there was n struggle by others to got ou.
All nt once a swaying motion was felt ,
md suddenly the whole structure col-
apsed , sliding sideways from oust to west
nnd coming down a confused and broken
inaas of timber and burying in its ruina
men , women and children , oldnndypung ,
light and heavy. The crash was like n
cannon shot and wns taken to bo that at
Irst. Soon the accident was generally
biown and there was a general
rush by the crowcl for the spot.
This was the worat thing possible , and
the officers seeing It made a charge nnd
kept people away. The work of extri
cating the injured ones was nt once bo-
jun , and they were many. Some were
bleei'iug ami unconscious , uiacvd ioaa
only to find broken limbs refusing to
support them. Groans mid cries were
ionrd on all aides , and llttlo children
walling among the rest. As fast ns n
sufferer was rescued they were convoyed
o the camp , though a few were taken
up town by relatives. The whole camp
was a acono of excitement , and dozens of
or.ts were turned into
JIO.SITTAL3
and crowded with the victims , while n
score of physicians busied thomsolyos
jy going from tent to tent , setting
imbs and prescribing for patients. It
was at first belie/od that several were
dead , and the wildest rumors were Hying
ibout , but though several were taken up
unconscious and badly hurt , no deaths
iavo as yet occurred , and it is hoped will
not. General Thayer at once issued or
ders to suspend hoBlililios on the field and
did nil ho could to provide for the care
and comfort of the wounded.
Tim Bm : reporter secured the follow
ing list of the injured and it is believed
io bo nearly complete. It was impos
sible to got the names of all and the
nany who got off with bruises or cula ,
nro not counted. In this list the charac .
ter of the injury is only given where it ,
wan definitely learned or was exceeding-
y Hovero. It is believed the list will run
ip over fifty when nil are reported.
