} Tclojtnun toTm : HRK.I At mUnight Tues
day Iho storm which had boon threatening
for half n dozen hours broke upon tbo camp.
The promonltlou during thn delivery of Senator -
tor Mundorson's ouloglum on the Into Gen
eral Morrow was torrlllo. The sky was
without a star and the wind blow In swooping
gusts from tbo north. The heavens wcro
rent with lightning , the Hashes assuming
, n dull red color In their majestic play. The
memorial services over , every camper hast
ened to his tent. The guy ropoi were
"
tightened , the Haps wcro tightly dr.uvn nnil
the camp was placed In condition to with
stand the storm. Those precautions , however -
over , had scarcely boon made when the wind
increased In volume and tbo rain fell in tor
rents.
This morning , It was a damp , chilly crowd
, of mortals which made Us appo.iranco on the
i streets and avenues. The ground was Wet
a anil muddy. The sky was overcast anu tbero
I ) was little hope that tbo storm had passed
away. About HOOD , however , the sun burst
through tbo clouds anil afforded great relief
to the disappointed reunlonists.
Hard on the .Militia.
The greatest sufferers were the young
militiamen , who hail been caught without
other protection than that afforded by their
light blue blouses. They stood tnu oriioal
with commendable ) patience , however , and
were complimented by their respective com
manders.
Tr neil disastrous effect of the storm
wast porlenccd by Troop A , First cavalry ,
N. N. G. , night of its members narrowly os-
cnplng death from lightning.
When the storm was at Its height there
ctitno a llaih which resembled the reduction
of n mammoth prairlu flro , and n pcalof thun
der which would have distanced tlio roar of
c.11 the guns in the Held.
Captain Culver thought there was some
thing wrong. Ho arose , rushed from his
quarters to tlio line of bis trooper's tents iintl
found ono of the tents upon tbo ground ,
but the inmates bud not yet been
aroused. Ha entered the tent and
found the men had been struck by lightning.
Ho Immediately summoned Dr.Valdon and
Dr Dempster.
The ruigo polo of the tent bad boon shat
tered and ono of its supports was seamed by
the current from top to bottom. Against
this post Lieutenant Wyant lay. His back
was badly burned. Lieutenant Vosborg
was burned on the log. First Ser
geant Seymour was mo.-tt severely
stunned , and the physicians wcro com
pelled to work over him for an hour before
they could revive him.
In the guard tent Privates James Carr ,
Floyd Ensign , Ilnrvuy Bromwoll and George
Letter were also stunned , and in the third
* tent Sergeant Luobbon was also unconscious.
Outside , Private Smith , who was on guard ,
was foiled to the ground and was unable to
continue at his post. Near him the horses of
the troop wcro picketed , and the animal be
longing to Lieutenant Wymit was also
knocked down. Tbo entire command spent
the night In trying to afford relief to their
comrades.
Alter the Itnin.
The usual drill by the Iintlonal guards oc

This morning the main avenuu was thronged

Adjutant General Cole , iimri'hrd to *
departmental headquarters , There they
were drawn up In line and General Cole
said :
"General Algor , allow mo to present to you

General Alger snldlrnt ho was glad to

There hai never been at any reunion In

the reason , as ono of them said today : "This
badeo tells that I am the wlfo of a soldier
who fought for his country , and I can deslro
no moro. " The order scorns to have been
stimulated to exertion by the late convention
In Detroit and bids fair to greatly Increase in
numbers the coming year.
Early lids afternoon a he.ivv wind visited
the camp , lore several of the tents and laid
others on the ground. Among tbo unfortu
nate ones were those of the reunion commit
tee and ono assigned to the press. It was
feared at the tlma that the wind would con-
tmuo and do a gtcat deal of dannigo , but the
fear Was not realised.
Mrs. fi. E. Hilton of Plattsrnouth has
painted a number of handsome louvenirs of
the reunion which nro greatly admired. This
souvenir Is of the nvorago badge slo and
somewhat rcmirkablo to state , la the only

GIUND Isr.iND , Nob. , Sopt. 2. [ Special
Telegram to Tins BUR. ] This afternoon at 4
o'clook onq of the most picturesque events of
the reunion occurred , the presentation to the
National guards the bronze medals as memor
ials of the pirt they played in the Sioux up
rising of last winter. The brigade was
drawn up on the plain north of the camp.
The brigade formed In two squaros. On tbo
loft of the Second roglmont the artillery was *
stationed , the cavalry . occupying the
extreme loft. General Colby was
mounted on the famous charger , Linden
Tree , the movements of which were the ad
miration of every ono. Behind the general
was ranced his staff. On the reviewing
stand sat Governor Thayer with Colonel
Jenkins , Colonel Corrcll. Major Mngoon ,
Colonel Downs ana Lieutenant Colonel
Hotchkiss of his staff In full military
costume. The pavilion was thronged mid
thousands of spectators fringed the plain on
either side. Tlio troops presented a magnifi
cent appearance , their arms and trapoinirs
glistening in the sunlight.
After the line had boon formed
four orderlies laden with the medals
inarched toward the command , and presented
to each company commander a box
containing a number of medals corresponding
to the number of men In the company. Gen
eral Colby rode toward the reviewing stand
and saluting the governor , apoko as follows :

Sept. 2. [ By Mexican Cable to the Herald-
Special lo Tins llr.B.l Halmaceda will not
have ns much money when ho reaches Eu
rope ns ho thought ho would by over $1,000-
000. Ono of his most ardent sup
porters and closest friends , Deputy
Verduga , was captured today at Falcn
while ho was making his way out of the
country with the purpose , It U supposed , of
Joining his llcoing chlof , either at Buenos
Ay res or In Europe. Ho was taken to San
tiago and turned over to the r.uthontlos. Ho
carried with him $1100,000 In Chilian batik
notes and { SOO.OOO in drafts on London.
This of course was promptly confiscated by
the representatives of tno Junta. It was at
first supposed that Senor Porduga hud ac
companied the late president In hU fight over
the mountains , but a sharp lookout was kept
for him , and the funds , novorthelos- > , and his
captttro followed. There U little doubt but
that Balmaceda Is making his waj over the
A ail os mountains through Iho soulh pass. It
would be impossible to stop him now.
Minister Eagan's friends are doing their
best to dispel the Impression that ho bns
acted offensively as a partisan of the late
government. Ouo of thorn , an American by
Iho name of Spencer , is authority for Ihu
stalomont , that It was largely duo to Mr.
Eagan's efforts that the president decided
to turn over Ibo government to General Ba-
quodano and glvo up the struggle. This was
done according to Mr. Spencer's slory In Iho
face of Ihe ODposllion of Balmaceda's min
isters , who insisted that the victory of the
revolutionists at Placllla was not decisive ,
and were desirous of keeping up the fight do-
spllo Iho fall of Valparaiso.
Bo this as It may , the bitter feeling
against Mr , Egnn in particular and Amer
icans In general shows no sign of
abatomout. The congressional leaders pro
fess to bo puzzled at the continued refusal of
of the Slate donarttnout at Washington lo
recognize Iheir envoys at the capitol , and are
generally inclined lo attribute Iho tardiness
lo ulterior motives , though Just what they
may bo they do not say. There are vague
rumors of fat contracts and nitrate beds in
the air , but nothini : definite Is specified.
No furlber news has boon received hero
loday from the mob stricken town of
Coroncl. I am assured , however , that the
provincial government has taken slops which
will result in the restoration of order
there in a short time. It is alto
gether probable lhat it may require
some fighting to get the rebellious soldiers
and miners under subjection , and it is per
fectly sufo lo say that the ringleaders will bo
shot as soon as they nro captured.
Elnboralo preparations are being made for
the reception of the members of Iho Junta ,
who will arrive bore lonight or loTuorrow on
the steamer Arequipa fiom Iqulquo. Their
arrival will bo made the occasion of general
rejoicing.
Many of the bodies of the dead which have
been lying on the baltlofield near Placilla
were buried today , and probably Ibe
balance of them will bo crouated to
morrow. About all of the wounded In
the various ( Ignis which followed Iho landIng -
Ing of General Canlo's army at Quintcro
bay have been brought in and are receiving
proper attention nt tno hands of tlio volunteer
ambulance corps. Temporary hospitals had
been fitted up wherever possible and room
was made for all of thorn.
Inlcndcnlo Walker Marline/ has got the
cily government here In fair working order
and Valparaiso is gradually settling down
Into its anlo-bellnm state. The same b true
of Santiago , where the leaders of the govern
ment nro now waiting the arrival
of their confreres. A proclamation
has been Issued lo the effect that
any person who Is harboring men who were
officials under 'Bnlmacoda and fail to glvo
them up to Iho authorities will bo shot.
I have Just received word from Santiago
that Balmaceda in his ( light loft his family
behind. They nro now being cared for by
Scnor Domingo Torres , brothor-ln-law of Iho
fugitive president , but who is himself a
strong supporter of the congrnssionalists.
Many instances of Iho unreliability of the
laio covornmenl , so far as abiding by its
promises is concerned , nro coming constantly
lo light. Ono of Iho latest is the killIng -
Ing of the valuable herd of blooded
catlla belonging lo Sonera Edwards.
Balmaceda promised Minister Eagan and
Consul McCreory last Juno lhal ibis herd
should not DO Interfered with , on the ground
thai nearly all Iho improved calllo in Chili

MADISON , Wls. , Sept. 2. [ Special Telegram
gram to Tut : IIE. ) j The will of Dr. Lyiiuin
C. Draper , the historian , was filed In probate
court for Dane county today. It bequeaths
all of his property to ttio State Historical so
ciety , of which ho was ouco secretary , except
a Ufa Interest In the liomoilcod and fl.OOO
per annum to his widow undji few small leg
acies to relatives. Ho recommends that
when thn property shall all finally como into
the possession of the society that It bo used
toward the construction of a fireproof homo
for the largo historical library.
His valuable library nn&tcollcctlon of manuscripts
"
uscripts go to the society , which Is greatly
enriched by this bequest , but there Is a ullp-
ulallon in ino will lhat C. W. Butterlleld of
Omaha , Nob. , an historical writer , between
whom and Dr. Draper tnoro was a fueling of
enmity , should not have access to the manu
script or in any wny secure information
therein contained.
fMr. C.V. . nuttorflcld , who resides on
Twenty-fifih street between A and B sireots ,
Soulh Omaha , expressed considerable sur
prise when Informed of Iho matter , but said
that it was nothing moro than ho would ex
pect from Dr , Draper. AVhon nskod Iho
cause of the trouble Mr. Butterlleld said :
"Dr. Draper and myself entered Into a con
tract about 1S74 to wnto western history.
Together wo wrote 'Border Forays and Ad-
vcnlures' and then the partnership dissolved.
The trouble was lhat Draper wus a grcal
bollover In spirilunllsui and wanled
mo to inculcate his idea of lhat
belief into my writings. This I would not do
ni'd so the agreement was dissolved. Later
on I prepared un edition of the Wnshinglon-
Ervlno correspondence and accotding lo my
conlracl used some extracts and briefs in Iho
library of Dr. Draper.
When Iho book was published Iho doclor
was offended because I had not glvon him
enough promlncuco in the preface. My
reply to him was that I had given him as
much notice as others to whom 1 was more
indebted. Ho also claimed lhat I had se
cretly copied some of his manuscript. This
was not true. At this time Draper told tno
lhat I should never hnvo access lo his library
or manuscripts again and that ho would fix
the matter so that I could not after bis death.
That is all there is about tho.m'atier. "

that ho was un independent , nut for rovontio ,

Cable Special to Tin : Uin. : | It must have
been the memory of the loss of hli only son
that Induced Minister Lincoln to tnako the
wedding of his daughter Mary to Charles
Isham as quiet as possible. Still a prettier
sight cannot bo conceived than Uromp-
ton Parish church all In white
and with blossoms , with Minister Lincoln
und Major Post , the best man , waiting nlono
at tbo chancel stairs , wlillo the brldo und
bridegroom knelt between the whlto-robod
choristers before Archdeacon Parrnr. The
Danish mlnlstcrandthe Netherlands minister
wore both present. H. White , llrst secretary
of the legation ; Commander Kmery ,
naval attache , and Consul General
Now sat in the front pews. In
consequence of the few invitations issued
there were absent nearly nil prominent Amer
icans on the continent. No more than 1.10
persons were present.
Miss Lincoln was distinguished by the sim
ple beauty of her costume. She were
a dross of Ivory white sntln with
full court train and a superb veil
of old Brussels lace caucht up with
diamonds and pearls down her back to the
ground. Her face was at no time covered by
the wreath of fresh orange llouors which encircled -
circled her brow. Instead of the conven
tional boquot the bride carried an Ivory
prayer book. A remarkable thing was the
absence of pages , bridesmaids , ushers
and the usual pomp of the wed
dings in diplomatic. circles. The
bride was attended by a younger
slsler. She was given away by her father.
There was no llorid music , but simply an old-
fashioned hymn. It was such n wedding as
would have delighted old Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln seemed to bo overcome
at tho.thougbtot palling from their daugh
ter. After the ceremony the happy pair
drove to Mr. Lincoln's bouse , accompanied
bv about tlfty friends. Hero an Informal
reception followed. No wedding presents
were shown as many of the important gifts
nro on their way from America. It was the
wish of the whole family to avoid display as
much as possible.

BRUI.IX , Sopt. 2. Sedan day was cele
brated according to the custom with school
fetes , services In churches , parades of veter
ans and banquets toi the soldiers of the vari
ous Enrrlsonsr"rtio T principal monuments
were decorated with wreaths and the public
buildings and many private houses were
coveted with Hags. A largo imperial crown ,
wrought ot copper , surmounting thu dome of
the now reichbtag building , was exposed to
view for the first tlmo.tho scaffoldnlg conceal
ing it being removed. The crown forms an
Imposing ornament and drew admiring
crovt ds.
The papers concur in regard to the situa
tion as u grave ono. The Keichs Aneiier
says : "With recollections of Sedan is bound
up a feeling of uratlluUo for the spirit of self-
sacrlflco by whloh such brilliant results were
gained and satisfaction with the progress
since made in the sentiment of solidarity ,
leading us to vow to hold and protect the
blessings won. "
The Post says : "Itlsagre.it error to dls-
slmilnto on the Idea that the position is becoming -
coming worse. Wo celobrnto the victory Unit
saw arise the aurora of the German omp'.ro.
In recalling Count Von Moltko's saying that
Germany must remain liftyyears under arms
in order to keep what she had won at Sedan
wo huvo no deslro to trouble peace , but If
others provoke war Germany will oo resolute
and will light ns courageously as twenty
years ago , confident In God's aid. "
'Iho Krou70ollungvnys : "If war is in-
o\ liable it will bo a struggle of which the
world has never soon Iho llko. Our splendid
army , and generals of proved capacity , and
the courage and cnorgv of the emperor , give
the confidence in the result , which will in
volve tno very oxlslonco of Germany. If wo
are beaten it will bo tints Gcrmatila. "
The Frolssmnigouitun bays : "Gormanv ,
unllied aflor Sedan , will remain ono. In
spilo of the divergence between the German
political parties , all nro determined to mniu-
lain what was met nt the cost of much car
nage. More liberal institutions would further
strengthen the country. "
Pastor Slot ecker , in n leitor toDasVolic ,
says : "Tho men ot Gormanv may soon bo
summoned to defend the privileges won on
the bloody Held of 1STO and to light for
unity , honor and liberty. At the critical
moment Catholics , socialists , and all the
Germans alike will do their duty. "

immodialo serious duputo will nriso over the
sultan's permitting the Moscowa to pass
through the Dardanelles. Olllcial dispatches

at the ontrAtico lo Iho straits was duo lo a

A good deal of agitation In Slate depart

by the announcement , In what appeared to
boauthoratlve quurtcri , that Patrick Egnn ,

tn the day stated that Mr. lOgan had been
wired to report In Washington for u personal
statement , of tlio condition in Iho republic
soulh of Iho United States which ha.- * for

lhat Mr. Egan will not continue

it is because ho early in the revolution teen

in two Ilghls. Ono U , that the administra
