The Mott Horrible Hallway Accident in the
History of California ,
AWFUL PLUNGE OP A TRAIN.

Draw Hrldgc.
BAN FiiASCifco , MaynO. Ono of the most
horrible railway accidents ever known in
California occurred at 1 : IO o'clock this after
noon , when the local train connecting at Oak
land with ferryboats from San Francisco
ran through the open draw brldgo over Sun
Antonio creek at Wester street , Oakland. A
yacht hud Just passed through thodraw when
the train appeared going in tlio direction of
Alameda. The drawbridge keeper endeavored
to close the bridges , but was too lute , and the
engine with the tender und the Hint cur ,
which was filled with passengers , plunged
Into the estuary.
Engineer Sampson and Fireman O'Brien
went down with the engine. The former ,
when he saw Unit the bridge did not close , re
versed the lever , but the momentum of the
engine was too great to bo stopped in time.
The weight of the engine and the llrst ear
broke the couplings and loft the other two
cars of the train standing on the trade. The
second car ran about n third of the way
across the bridge and stopped , but the Jar
was sufficient to break open the front of tlio
car , and many of the passengers were thrown
Into the water.
The first car , which had fallen with the en
gine to the bottom of the muddy estuary , soon
rose and such of the passengers as escaped
therefrom were picked up by the yachts and
small boats which gathered at the scene. The
trainmen and the rest 'of tlio passengers
rushed to the ork of rescue and when
the wrecking train arrived from Oakland the
ar was drawn into shallow water and small
bouts had begun dragging the crrcek for bed
ies.
ies.Tho toil ° f the passenger coach was cut
Dpcn as soon us It wus raised above the
tviitcr und the work of removing the bodies
oininonccd , thirteen being taken out in quick
UK-cession.
At tlio morgue the bodies were laid out ns
loon us received to await identification , und
Heartrending scenes were witnessed as friends
. nine forward to claim their dead.
The list of identified dead is us follows :
MARTIN KELLY , Oakland.
A. II. AUSTIN , Sun Francisco.
MISS FLORENCE AUSTIN.
MRS. BRYAN O'CONNOR , San Fran-
Pisco.
J. B. 1RWIN. Oakland.
K. R. ROBINSON , Sun Francisco.

MR. WILLIAMS , San Francisco.
H. W. AULD ( colored ) , Honolulu.
The two MISSES KKENAF , San Fran
cisco.
A Japanese boy , supposed to be II. MA
LKSTA , San Francisco.
The engineer and fireman both escaped.
The following passengers in the llrst car ,
who escaped , relate their experience :
F. F. 1 inley of Sun Francisco I was on n
front scat facing the engine. Just ns wo approached
preached the drawbridgoitseemed to me that
the draw wus open and thatu fearful accident
was inevitable. Just then a man Jumped
lioni the engine into the water and then
cume the crash. A horrible crushing of
timber and snapping of heavy iron
work followed and nt once eon-
Hternution prevailed in the cur. Tlio
next thing I know tlio car was
in the water and I found mvself blindly
groping for the door , which 1 fortunately
reached when Unit end of the car rose out of
the water , and qtiito a number of people
ple escaped in this manner , principally
women lind children. Tlio car was
about two-thirds full when wo loll
the wharf and 1 should Judge tliuro were at
least twenty-five to thirty people in it. There
was a fearful outcry when the car begun to
till , 1ml tliis was almost immediately hushed
In ono longtimil wail of despair.
CicorgoT. Ilawloy of Oakland There were
about forty people , including children , in the
car.
Conductor Kcnith said the llrst was a com
bination car. When the disaster occurred ho
1
was in the rear car and hud as much
as ho could do for a few moments to
attend to passengers in the car , some of whom
were in a state of frenzy. Ho then went for
ward and looked down on the scene of death.
Ho noticed nt leust half a dozen men swim
out , hut not any women or children. Ho is
not sure about the number of people In the
_ _ coach.
ir James Dunlop , the brldgo tender , had nothIng -
' Ing to say further than that ho had opened
the bridge for a yacht and was Just closing It
when the train came along. Several of the
passengers who went down but were rescued ,
sustained painful Injuries.
The frame of the car 1ms boon raised
mid the bed of the creek thoroughly
explored , and it is believed there are no more
bodies in the wreck.
Conservative estimates this e.vcning place
tlio number of people in the car
at about thirty , and it is believed the
thirteen bodies lecovered comprise the list of
the dead. Thousands of people Hocked to the
scene of the disaster anil the streets leading
to the brldgo are crowded with hurrying men ,
women and children. The wildest rumors
of the extent of the loss of life are circu
lated and many people went across
from San Francisco to look for friends.
When the news of tlio disaster reached
Mountain View cemetery , wtiero hundreds of
Oakland people were decorating the graves , u
panic was created , and men , women and
cnildren rushed into town , leaving all their
lloral tributes behind them.
The engineer and Hrcniun disappeared right
after the accident and have not yet been
found , so their veislon of the accident is nut
obt a i nublo.
Tlio hridgetcnder tonight maintains Uiat ho
hud u red danger flag up. The trains ai > -
-prouch the bridge around u curve , and It is
possible the engineer did not see the flag.

sands of dollars appears in the columns of
the Holvoko Tribune of this week.
The Holyoke Investment company , com
posed of two or three men , have bought and
platted a piece of hind adjoining the ceme

selves In distributing advertising mutter

signed by the secretary of the company , but
are not witnessed and do not bear the com
pany's seal. On the buck of each deed is
stuck the following slip :
This deed Is void unless filed for record
wltliln thirty days from Its date. Send the

There are about ono thousand lots In the
plat. Tlio recording fees for these alone
would amount to 1S" > 0. The land , for which
they gave their notes , cost them about f5 per
acre , or 100 for the pint , leaving $1,150 in
fees for some ono.
A good muny letters have come to the hanks
of business men of Holyoke mid they have
answered in most cases that the land in ques
tion Is worth for farm purposes from & > to10

have taken the mutter up , learned the status
of the affair and stamped it as u fraud and
report it so to all inquirers and the same is

Tin : I3iI.J : : A private watchman , ono of the
men employed to guard the stores in Huy-
inurkct square , came to tlio Dcsplaines street
station last night mid told a story which
makes it appear that the attempted Haytnar-
ket monument explosion was a gigantic hoax.
Ho said : "At 12 o'clock , of the morning the
can was found at the base of the monument ,
I passed there and saw something burning on
the stones. I picked it up and found it to bo
n piece of fuse about a foot long , which was
on lire at ono end. I tried to blow it out but
could not , so Himlly 1 took my knife and
picked out the last lilt of lire and threw the
tiling down. I am sure there was no can of
dynamite there then. "
"Why did you put oft telling this story so
long { " the captain asked.
"I did not know that a bomb had been
found until two days afterward and tlio
papers made it out such a big sensation that I
thought the best thing I could do would be to
keep still until the excitement died out. "
Tlio supposition now is that the fuse was
put upon the stone and burned , mid then ,
after being extinguished , was put in tlio can.
of dynamite and arranged in tliis manner.
The Joke had a business like air , for it looked
as If Provlduucc alone had prevented : i terri

CLEVELAND , O. , May 80. The Oarlleld
memorial In Lake View cemetery was de
dicated toduy with Imposing ceremonies in the
presence of many distinguished people from
all over the country. The memorial Is a colos
sal structure , towering HJ5 feet above the
eminence In the cemetery which overlooks the
city aiidsurroulidingcountry , and was erected
ut a cost of StiiO.OOO.
Tlio exercises of the day begun with a par
ade of military and civic societies , the pro
cession forming in the center of the city and
moving to the cemetery , a distance of live
miles. The city Is filled with strangers and
thousands of persons lined thostrcets through
which the procession passed. The decora
tions along the line of march and all over
the city wcro the finest ever seen hero.
The procession moved nt I o'clock. In the
first division were the society of the Forty-
second regiment , Ohio volunteer infantry
( Garflcld's regiment ) , the Grand Army of the
Kepublio and Sons of Veterans. Tlio second
division consisted of militia organizations of
Ohio and other states , which were accom
panied by Governor Campbell and stuff ,
mounted. In the third division , with the First
Cleveland troop of cavalry and n detachment
of marines and sailors from the United
States steamer Michigan as an escort ,
were the president and vice president ,
the members of the cabinet , General Scho-
lleld , senators and representatives In con
gress , the orator of the day and other dis
tinguished guests In carriages. The nine
other divisions consisted of civic and other
societies ami brought up with citizens on
foot and in carriages.
The procession was two hours passing a
given point and was live miles in length.
There wcro at least twcnty-llvo thousand men
in line.
There was hut one accident during the day.
Sir Knight James Wemple , past commander
of the Nebraska division , knights Templar ,
who now resides here , was thrown from his
horse and suffered a bad fracture of u leg.
A vast concourse of people had preceded
the procession to the cemetery , and when the
exercises began there were thousands con
gregated about the great stand , on which
were seated the distinguished guests. Kx-
President Hayes , president of the memorial
association , presided , and after "America1'
hud been sung bv u chorus , ho made a few
opening remarks. At the conclusion of
prayer by IJishop Leonard , ex-Governor Cox
of Cincinnati delivered theorationof the day.
Tlio following Is General Cox's speech in
part :
Our task is not the mournful ono which
filled the streets of our cities with funeral
pageants nine years ago. If our thoughts
take a tiugo of solemnity fro.n the memory of
'
the tragedy which brought the life of Garl'lcld
to mi untimely end and shocked the whole
nation by the cuuselos.s enormity of the
crime , it will only make our retrospect the
sober and thoughtful thing it ought to be.
Time heals all wounds , ami it is our privilege
to think of the departed statesman who was
once our friend and neighbor as of u charac
ter already a historic 0110 ; analysini ; his
his career with quiet pulse , not tortured by n
grief too poignant , and recalling his great
qualities and his big-hearted human sympa
thies in reminiscences full of real , if sober ,
pleasure.
It Is well that this memorial should be built
hero , in the capital city of the "Western Re
serve , " on the eastern side , where the branch
ing roads lead to all tlio counties of the old
district IK' served for nearly twenty years.
Himself a type of the Western Reserve boy ,
his marble dHgy under this dome is a sort of
upotlieosis of Western Reserve manhood. It
is the emblem of the heroic qualities de
veloped out of the New England character in
the pioneer lifo of the west.
This structure and tlio stutuo it covers
mean that Garlleld's countrymen see in him ,
and in what ho did , so much that is worthy of
imitation , mid worthily exhibits and inter
prets the critical period ol our national life
through which we have Just passed , that they
have wished to embody in imperishable stone
the memory of it. They desire that it shall
teach muny generations to emulate tlio good
qualities which Atted him to lead in good di
rections , und to seek that honor in good men's
memories which comes by subordinating
selfish ends to common good.
Our political campaign literature is apt to
dwell upon a public man's narrow circum
stances in youth , ns if they called for sympa
thetic pity or for u hlghteaod ( admiration at
the energy und ability which rose from biioh
unpromising beginnings. Some of us are old
enough to remember when Clay was pictured
as the "mill hey of the slushes , " und Ewing
us the "salt-boiler of the Muskingnm. " As
'pot names" among party followers they do
well enough hi giving something of the pic
turesque to campaign advocacy ; hut wo must
bo candid enough to admit that they mean
nothing more than that tlio youth" men
who became leaders in a new country , must
bo spent in the way that others Hvo. When
the dense forests of Ohio had to bo cleared
and mudo Into farms , chopping and logging ,
burning the wood , leaching the ashes , mak
ing "black-salts" of the lye. wcro part of
every farmer's experience , and a valuable
part of every boy's education. Wo may
jmt away the notion thut Gurtlold needed
any pity for a hard or pinching boyhood.
The llttio episodes In his life in which ho
sought employment to earn money enough to
carry on his studies Audit proper place in the
full biography of tlio man and give it a lively
human interest ; but in such a sketch us tlifs
it is enough to say that his fiist advances
beyond the common school had to bo made by
the thrifty use of all thn means ho could earn
in any honest labor In which his vacations
could be employed. The controlling purpose ,
the persistent will to become an educated
man , never faltered for an instant. The dis
cipline of mind and of body whieli ho got in
thus mingling active physical labor with his
bruin work , and in holding fust his plan of
lifo through interruptions and apparent hard
ships , was so useful u part of his training
Unit ono could wisli every student
of sound physique might do the sumo
for tlio good results to body and mind.
Let us not count it any misfortune to Gartlcld
that his circumstances offered no temptation
to idleness ; but a good fortune , rather , that
the necessity of work was Joined to a capac
ity to work In things that were a succession
of solidsteppliig-stnnes ton high destiny.
At Hiram a new Institution of learning
was making u feeble beginning , which , under
Giirfield's influence , was to grown into col
legiate importance. Founded , as nearly all
our colleges have been , by the zeal of a
church organization , it drew to it the > yonUi
who from sympathy with its religious tenets
or from family connection with the denomi
nation found it u congenial place of Intel
lectual und moral growth. Enthusiastic in
both directions , Gartlcld , beginning us u stu
dent IP the lower classes , soon became u man
of mark in the school. As he advanced in
his studies ho became tutor in some of the
lower classes and his gift of clearly explain
ing what he knew und of rousing enthusiasm
by the contagion of his own seemed to prove
him a born teacher.
o Gurfleld entered the Juiilorcluss at Williams
college In 131 , and graduated in 1SWK Tlio
change ol .scene * und association widened his
hori/.on. Tlio test of his powers In compari
son with more systematically trained students
In the older institution of learning gave him
confidence in himself whilst It enabled him
to Judge his own duficicnclo * . Justly und form
u broader plan for his continued cultivation.
He brought back to Ohio a deep conviction of
his | t rbi < nul responsibility us a teacher , and
when he resumed his worlt at Hiram > -otlcgo ,
ho < | in > lily shuwed thut he w i capable of
being to lounu im-u au lnsiu-aiiun | und a
Ilvut ougy lanu-esscU. Utt oww per-
sonullty upon the school , determined as fur us
the mentis at his command would permit , to
establish a high standard of scholarly at
tainment , hut above all to infuse into his
pupils the divine enthusiasm of scholarship ,
the burning zeal to knowi which , rightly
started , continues a consuming Are during a
whole lifetime. If wo would understand
lironerly Garlleld's latter career wo must
carefully study this period of his early de
velopment and the maturing of his powers.
Ills work changed , but his mental traits did
not. His theories of the presentation of truth
so ns to make it attractive : his power of
showing it to nil sorts of people so as to make
them seize it with pleasure and hold it with
tenacity ; his preference of friendly persua
sion over denunciators antagonism ; ills love
for adorning debate In congress or on the
hustings with some llower of literature or of
science brought from another Held ; ull these
traits of his mental methods and tasks take
us back to the days of his , presidency of the
institution at Hiram , when from tlio pro
fessor's chair , from the pulpit of his religious
associates where he was always welcome.and
from the lecturer's platform whore ho ut once
made a brilliant local reputation , ho was in
dustriously nlng his power to lead the minds
of others , and demonstrating his capacity to
do so on u largo scale.
Hut even in ISS1 * , on the very verge of
being summoned into public life , ho saw
nothing of what was to come. We must
recollect that the affairs of tlio nation were
rapidly approaching a crisis. H had become
evident that the people of the free states
were fully determined that no more slave
states should bo admitted , to the union. The
political struggle over the admission of Kan
sas and Nebraska had arrayed the north and
south on opposite sides of the question ,
whether the federal constitution established
slavery upon federal territory in spite of the
will of the majority of the citizens of the ter
ritory. The day of compromises was past ,
and men arrayed themselves in their polit
ical organizations with a clear recognition
of the terrible fact that political strife was
verging close upon civil war.
It was the fashion in the Reserve to call
college professors into political life.
When Gariicld In lb.r > 9 was nominated
state senator from Portage and Sum
mit , his constituents only followed tlio
example of Lorain and Medina , where Mon
roe of Oborlin , was already representative in
the general assembly , beginning nn equally
long" career of public service. Gurlleld was
already well known in his district us an eloquent -
quont and unflinching advocate on the side of
slavery restriction ; but his canvass after his
nomination widened and strengthened his
reputation. It need hardly bo said Unit he
was a prominent Aguro in the legislature from
tlio opening of the session in January , 18IJO.
With characteristic zeal ho applied himself to
all the business of the senate , making himself
ready and familiar with the rules of parlia
mentary procedure , und with all the condi
tions of practical success in legislation. Ho
went back to Hiram In the summer of 1800 ,
but with all his versatility wo may suspect
that tlio college was necessarily deprived of
most of his time and labor. Events were
marchim. rapidly. The winter of ISM-ISIil
was not only full of the inteiisest political ex
citement , but it was a time when questions
of personal duty to the country wcro
pressing upon many a'man. Beginning
with South Carolina , the southern
states were following each other
into secession with fearful rapidity. It was
a serious question whether Washington would
be the actual capital of the nation when the
time for Lincoln's inauguration should come.
It was in the midst of these appalling circum
stances , and in the debutes of questions di
rectly affecting the national life , that Gur-
iiold spent the adjourned session of tlio gen
eral assembly. It hardly iii-ed bo said that in
such un apprenticeship , statesmanship was
rapidly learned by one w o had the natural
gifts for it. But the gaflieriug war cloud
brought still more. starUiui ; questions of per
sonal duty. What shoulehe do if civil war
should actually break out ? ' His plans of life
had been us remote as tlitf poles from any con
nection with military idf-vs or practice. If
not quite clerical in his r6iations , lie. certainly
had looked on his life us one
professionally devoted to peace. Ho
was revolving the matter in his
mind , but postponing its decision , hoping that
it need not bo decided , when the attack upon
Fort Simitar came to drive nwuv our dreams
of peace as straws in the path of a tornado.
Tlio way then became plain for a few stops at
lca--t. First , Ohio was to give the national
government the legislative help it needed tfl9
organize its armies and fill its treasury ; then
the personal duty to do a man's part in the
light would follow.
When the legislature adjourned , Garfield
was able to give n few weeks to alternate
private and public duties. The enthusiastic
response of loyal men to President Lincoln's
tirst call for troops had more than filled Ohio's
quota , und it seemed possible that civil duties
might bo the only ones in which he could servo
the country. The extraordinary duties of the
governor Involved negotiations with other
states respecting urn's and munitions of war ,
ns well as questions concerning the most effi
cient methods of co-operating to sus
tain the general government. Gar-
Held volunteered for any such work in
which ho could bo useful , und ho spent
the early summer In active assistance of Gov
ernor Dcnnison in the class of duties I have
mentioned. But in the last week of July the
country was agitated anew und us deeply us
in April , though in u different manner. The
buttle of Bull Run was fought and lost by
the strange panic which turned a well-
planned and successful engagement Into a
sudden rout.
GarllehVs path of duty again opened plain
ly before him , and ho promptly stepped into
it. All other obligations dwindled before the
overmastering one of saving the national
life. His college hulls were abandoned , this
time forever.
Like many of our volunteers of 1SH1 , Garfield -
field would have been glad to servo under
men who hud some training In military life ,
but the idea still ruled at Washington thut
the regular army must maintain its organiza
tion. Ho was chosen colonel of the Forty-
second Ohio , and devoted tlio rest of the
summer and the autumn In preparing it for
the field. Just at tlio close of the year ho
was ordered into eastern Kentucky , and u
brigade , in which he commanded us senior
colonel , was made practically a llttio Inde
pendent army , holding the wild region of the
Big Sandy vulley. A dashing conflict with
the confederate forces under Humphrey
Marshall proved his fitness for conimand.unil
ho was made a brigadier general. Assigned
to duty in his ' new grade in
the concentrated army of the Ohio
under Ducll , ho took 'part In the cam
paign of Corinth , Miss. , which followed the
battle of Shiloh , ami In thu operations of the
.summer of ISftt. He learned , however , that
his robust body had its weakness , and that
the Irregularity of camir diet was peculiarly
injurious to him. A suvero illness sent him
homo to recuperate , and' ' while there he was
nominated to congress Iiy his district. Ho
would Intyo preferred continuing in the mili
tary service , but the serious doubts us to his
maintaining good health in the Acid decided
him to return to civil life. The canvass was
brilliantly made , ami ho was elected at a time
when u political rcaction'in Ohio reduced the
representatives of his party in congress to so
small n nuinh'T that his position was mudo
doubly important. Ills term would not begin
till March , 1M > 'I , and linlo.ss there was an
extra ssssion , his active duty In the house of
representatives would only commence in De
cember following. Thu Intervening winter
ho spent in Washington studying the situa
tion of affairs from thut central position ,
whilst engaged In military service upon courts-
martial unil other assignments of like char
acter.
But his military career was not to end at
onco. An honorable chapter was to follow ,
in which Ills naino was to be brilliantly con
nected with great events. He chafed at tin'
prospect of inaction during the long interval
before tlio new congress should iissemblo , und
the secretary of war acceded to his wish to
spend the summer of I MM with the army In
tlio Acid. Ho Jolm-il the army of the Cum
berland , now under the command of Rosc-
cr.ms , and was invited to tuko the position of
chief of stuff to that general. Hero ha was in
Immediate contact with the management of
nn army , and w.w tht chief ministerial officer
between the commander and his subordinates.
He counselled in all discussion * of plans , und
assisted in conference * of the loading officers.
Ho studied strategy mi a large scale and bis
opinions were received with respect by all ,
for his power * of analysis and muck Intel
lectual comprehension of miicticul problems
qualified him U ) furm judgmentH thul wi-i'O
to uUvvculc ihviu with forte and
clearness. The summer was not passed With
out renewed painful experience of the fact
that camp life was injurious to his health , but
when the advance on Chattanooga began ho
was again At for duty and entered into the
campaign with great spirit and energy. It
culminated In the bloody Acid of Clilcka-
manga , and it has become a familiar talc in
every household of the land how Garfield. In
the supreme crisis of the battle , carried to
General Tnomu.s on the loft the news
of the situation at the broken center
and right , and remained with him who
is nobly Immortal as the "Rock of
Chlckamauga , " tipon the forest-eiad hill ,
which was now beleaguered and stormed at
by the multitudinous hosts of the enemy , con
centrating all their power to wrest n decisive
victory from the indomitable divisions which
held it as a fort , nearly surrounded , yet stub
bornly held. Tlio volunteered ride out of the
turmoil and confusion on the Dry Valley
road , through Rossvlllo and over the ridge ,
out by Granger's position , running the
gauntlet of the Are of Confederates closing in
upon the Isolated left wing , was of the ro
mance of war In itself and has oecomc of his
toric interest because of the great results
thut were trembling in the scale. Tlio wan
ing day amid the i powder sinoko und the
crash of battle , when he stood with Thomas
by the little cabin und clearing on the hill
top in the center of that famous horse-shoo
line ; tlio uuiet night which fell upon the lit
tle group by the camp-fire , when Bragg's
bravo soldiers gave up In despair the task of
carrying the stronghold ; the midnight march
buck to Chattanooga , are scenes of wondrous
dramatic Interest , In which the active mili-
turv work of Garfield ended.
Ills reputation as n man of courage and an
officer of real capacity were so well estab
lished , that no ono doubts his military career
would have been among the most important
and distinguished , could ho have followed it
to the end. As It was , it was a .shining epi
sode in his experience as a statesman , showIng -
Ing what he was capable of in other fields hud
not his duty been appointed for him in legis
lative halls. For it is plain to ns now , as wo
look upon his completed life , that his work in
congress was Unit for which ull the rest was
preparation. Other things had occupied him
for a time , they hud contributed to form his
Judgment , to widen his experience , to mature
his powers , but the years , close upon a score ,
that he was to spend In the house of repre
sentatives , embrace his real life work. Kve.n
his elevation to the presidency , was rather
the evidence of his countrymen's admiration
of him ns u popular and legislative leader ,
than a significant part of his own career.
Cut off prematurely , bia administration had
no opportunity to carry out any large policy.
The largo grasp and ability he had shown in
every other part of his life is sufficient war
rant for our faith that It would have been
marked by broad statesmanship and manifest
power ; hilt it was God's will that his work
as legislator should remain the thing which
will ever bo distinctively his. The rest is
among the "might-have-been's , " big with
many grand possibilities not to ripen into full
fruition.
His nomination to the presidency and the
canvass in which ho was elected revealed the
fact that he was regarded by hosts of people
with a favor akin to warm personal affec
tion. His popularity was shown to bo wide
and solid , and ho a people's leader who
strengthened the party that nominated him.
No doubt the sad story "of Ills untimely end
quickened men's sympathy and made friends
of some who had been coldly critical or hos
tile. His spirit would gracefully appreciate
the sweet human charity which , for his suf
ferings , would disarm nil enmity and make
men of all parties unite in common apprecia
tion of his noble gifts , his lovable nature , his
ardent patriotism arid his great public serv
ices.
ices.And
And so men of all parties have united to
build this memorial and to place this statue
upon Its pedestal to commemorate these
virtues and these services. Antagonisms ure
here forgotten , Cynical carping has no place
hero. The good , the great , the strong , the
wise und the patriotic wcro ull so abundant
in him that out of them the young of com
ing generations may construct an ideal on
which to mould themsoUes. The weak
nesses , the limitations , the imperfections in
cident to human nature and \vluch every man
must humbly acknowledge his share in , may
hero bo dropped from view , and the model to
be imitated is made up of those noble and
generous qualities which wore so marked in
the mail wo honor today.
The people of this land , far und near , are ut
this very hour decorating the graves of their
fullcii patriots- mid heroes with affectionate
and heartfelt love and reverence. Our tusk
is part of theirs. Wo join our countrymen in
the loving duty. This memorial is a perma
nent decoration of the tomb where lies the
body of a soldier and a patriot , whoso ser
vices to his country wore so great and brill
iant , that the dignity of this structure and
durability of this monument only gives fitting
expression to the solidity of trust , the honor ,
mid the regard with which the American people
ple- cherish the memory of such as he. May
it bo t us and our children the continuing
lesson in patriotic endeavor which it was de
signed to bo ; and may generations , us they
look upon it , find it stimulating them to that
nobler manhood which shall develop our free
institutions into nil they ought to be.
"The "Hallelujah Chorus , " by Handel , was
next sung , after which President Harrison ,
Vice President Morton , the members and ex-
inumbors of the cabinet , the general of the
army and governor of Ohio were presented.
President Harrison then addressed the us-
semblngo as follows ;
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens I
thniilt you most sincerely for this cordial
greeting , but I shall not bo betrayed by It
into u lengthy speech. The selection of ihls
day for these exercises , a day consecrated to

and placed for his ambition u ladder upon
which ho might climb. His own bravo hands
framed and nailed the cleats upon
which ho climbed to heights of
public usefulness and fume. [ Ap-
luuse. | Ho ncs'or ceased to bo a student
and instructor. Turning from peaceful pur
suits to the army service ho quickly mastered
tactics and strategy and in his brief uriny
career taught some valuable lessons in mili
tary service. [ Applause. | Turning again
from the Held to the council of state ho stood
among the greatest debaters thut huvo ever
made our national congress illu-strious. What
he might have been or done as president of
the United States is loft chiefly to

career that had no Incident of
failure or Inadequacy. IApplause , j The
cruel circumstances attending his death had
hud but ono amelioration that space of lifo

tlio great lesson of peace and forbearance.
[ Applause.I His mortal part will find hon
orable re-it liore , but the lessons of his life and
death will continue to bo Instructive and in
spiring Incidents in American history. "
President Harrison was followed by Vice
President Morton and Governor Campbell ,
who made short speeches.
There were cries for General Sherman , and
when the old warrior responded there was
tumultuous cheering. General Herman said :
"Comrades , all. You see me hero toduy and

The address of Representative i tjllo of
Maine at Arlington cemetery was Mahlo
one. IIo spoke of the righteousness of the
union cause. "Tho men who rallied to the
defense of the star spangled banner , " ho said ,
"not only kept step to the music of the union ,
but marched In the vanguard of Christian
civilization. This cannot bo said , and
nothing like it can over ho
truthfully said of the cause of those
who sought by rebellion to destroy the gov
ernment. The rebellion was u conspiracy
organized in the Interest of human shivery.
It sought u pretext for precipitating a bloody
conflict with the purpose of establishing a
slave-holding confederacy or an ultimate em
pire , to embrace u largo iwrtion of the terri
tory of the United States , including a great
section of territory that had been purchased
by the whole people.
"Comrades , " said the orator , "wo pay the
highest reverence to the memory of our dead
when wo strive most earnestly to remember
and to impress upon others the nobility of
tlio cause for wlilcli they so steadfastly
fought. Wo huvo no dcslro to re
vive tlo : unhappy memories or
to fun any embers of sectional
strife , and so fur as I have observed , the fan
ning of those embers bus been principally
the work of our brethren of the south. "
Reference was mudo to the scenes at Richmond
mend during the past few days , and Uoutello
expressed "a little more than regret" at
what he said could not full to shock a true
sense of propriety. Ho protested uiralnst the
lavish display of rebel colors and said the ex-
con federates" who displayed the robot flag to
glorify it were not true to tno parole granted
at Appommatox.
Boutelle's oration was followed by applause
of the stormiest kind.
At the congressional cemetery Representa
tive Mason of Illinois was the orator. In the
course of his address he said that as a boy ho
regretted that he was not old enough to fight
with the veterans , but he was old enough
now to light for them. " 1 would rather,1' ho
said , "be able to hang upon my walls an
honorable discharge from the union army
than to plaster my walls with the finest
masterpieces of art.
"There is , " lie said , "one note of warning ,
however , that you must let mo utter at this
time. I must earnestly protest against tlio
occurrences in that fair southern city at the
unveiling of General U-e's stutuo yesterday.
Let them honor the memory of thut
true and virtuous man if they will ,
but let mo say that the broad sky over our
country is broad enough only for one flag , and
that Um stars und stripes , and when a
man waves any other flag ho is in his heart a
traitor , as ho was thirty yours ago. Do not
misunderstand me brethren , but I would bo
false to the memory of a brother who fell at
Gettysburg and to the memory of many bravo
men who lie around us here if I did not pro
test at this , the first occasion I have had ,
against the act of men who Haunt the Hag of
secession in the face of the hoys in blue who
fought so nobly for their country. "
A largo number of Gurmun veterans and
others gathered at Prospect Hill cemetery to
do honor to their dead comrades.
An oration was delivered In German by
Editor Skutseh of the Washington Journal.
After eulogizing the German soldiers ho
turned to the consideration of political ques
tions and said , in part : "If the Herman cle
ment of this country wishes to expose itself to
the well grounded charge that It places ' ma
terial success above all other aims and objects
of human existence , then it will have to de
vote itself to political duties in the future in
u greater degree than heretofore. In nine
great states of tlio union no governor , no leg-
ishiluro could bo elected if they
should bo unfriendly to the Just claims
of tlio Gorman element. If it would but
assert its iiihcrrent power and political
strength no man could bo elevated to the
office of president of the United States
who should bear upon his brow Cain's murk
of knownothingism. The principle of polit
ical equality upon which our government is
based places in the hands of everyone the
most powerful weapon of sclf-dcfenne man's
Ingenuity over created the elective franchise.
Has the German element properly appreci
ated this weapon i Wo find the German ele
ment one-seventh of the entire population of
the union -represented in tlio senate by but a
single voice. Among the hundreds
of representatives in congress hardly
a fiftieth part speaks the mother
tongue. Can there bo any valid reason in u
system of government based upon the broad
est foundation of universal oxnality for such
a disproportionate representation of popular
elements claiming common rights ! Truly , it
were better for the German clement , as well
as for the fortunes of this nation , would it
but show less party fealty ami inoro inde
pendence in thought In the political lifo so
surrounding it. It would not then be forced
in ono part of the country to have Its young
employ , oven in acquiring a rndimentury edu
cation , the iCnglish language in preference
or to the exclusion of tlio language of their
homes. It would not bo asked in another
part to accept and respect laws which origin
ated in the mirrow minds of fanatics laws ,
which at best urojbutephemeral. It would not
be asked to give Its approval to' narrow re
strictions of the free human rights of migra
tion by erecting barriers against any nation
ality by means of unjust immigration laws
furthered by un unworthy class spirit und
nourished cupon the breast of antiquated
prejudices.

CHICAGO , May 30. ( Special Telegram to

the mounds that cover the bodies of the dead
soldiers und exulting with song und speech
those departed warriors , has been the order
of the day in the cemeteries In and ubout
Chicago. The special decoration of the

most of the cemeteries by speeches , music , and
song. Old soldiers told of the struggles of
the war and blessed tlio pence wo now enjoy.

Mistake.
Lixroi.y , Nob. , May MO. [ Sped il Tolo
Brain to Tun HIK. : ] The position of Govormu'
'I'lmyor Is truly n pathetic one , Listening to
the voice of Unit iirch-pollticlun , Church
Howe , the chief uxccutlvo lias been mudo to
liellovo that the universal wish of the people
was for it special session of the legislature.
The personal Inllucuou of IIowo has been
bucked with thut of confederates , and ( , ov
ernor Thayer was inailo to believe )
that the people were clamorous for
a special session. This pressure was Iti-pt
UIKIII the governor until last Suturdu } . vuin
the ehlef executive yielded to what ho be
lieved was the popular wish.
The governor ns'sumes the entire responsi
bility of the call , but , instead pf being sus
tained by the people , ho is chagrined to Unit
that ho has only had n shrewd confidi-nco
gumo played on him.
To Intimate friends the governor uckuowl-
edged that ho IUIM made u grave mistake , and
the overwhelming Hood of condemnation niul
renionstanees that hiivo poured in have hrs > t
nstonished and then alarmed him.
Instead of plaeing the blame whore It be
longs tlio governor horoieally assumes all re
sponsibility for it , and again and ag.iiu he assured -
sured your correspondent that ho alma1 is to
blame for the call of the special session.
Church IIowo cunningly keeps in the back
ground and allows the governor to bear all
the blanio. Your correspondent lias learned
on unimpeachable authority thut IIowo. wlillo
working up his scheme to confidence tlio go\-
ernor , approached u number of delegates at
the late anti-monopoly convention and
privately asked them to sign a petition
to call u special .session. Howe , by sonto
mount , learned Unit your correspondent was
in possession of these facts , and this railroad
pseudo labor candidate for congress called on
Tin : HII : : man and by the seductive arts pecn-
liar to him endeavored to make your reporteif
believe thut the story was a wicked and ma
licious Ho. At his pathetic request the -lory
was temporarily held in abeyance. TheevU
denco gathered against him , however , is too
damning for further suppression , and the
facts are herewith divulged.Vhilo
( Governor Tlmyer heroically insists on bear
ing the blame of the call himself , if ,
is a noticeable feature that the mnitinn of
the naino of Church Howe lias almost as mad'
don i ng au effect on him as the shaking of u
red rair in a ball's face.
When seen at 10 o'clock tonight the ( .ov-
ernor was not ready to issue a revocation oC
the call for a special session , hut politicians
hero say that it will be issued. The irov-
ernor admits the force of tlio point raised
thut any action of the legislature at a .special
session would not bo legal on account of S > Q
many seats being vacant.

Mr. Jay paced up and down the pavement car

Then ho laid the wreath down and paced
