An Imposing Parade Streets Thronged Wf th People Crowds i at the Armory. Col. Waddell's Address Other Speeches Collation Pre pared and Served by the Ladies. . ; Yesterday was a day long to be re membered by the people of Wilming ton. ; It witnessed the fruition of the fondest hopes, the display of the purest patriotism and the faithful ef forts of the warmest affection. There was hardly ever before such a display of the national colors. On Front street, either way one looked, and on Market street, as far up as the armory, the colors of the greatest country on earth were triumphantly in evidence. There were big flags and little flags and a perfect deluge of decoration paper in the glorious "red, white and blue." There were flags everywhere. Every street car carried them swiftly along, they were in children's hands, tacked on to drays and delivery wagons, and some of the patriotic drivers actually made blankets for their horses out of the national colors. One of the flags spread to the breeze in honor of Company S,had a pathetic story.; It was the last Confederate flag under which Miss Winnie Davis, -the daughter of the Confederacy, walked. It was the color of the Cape Fear Camp, N. C. V., which Col. Woodward has in his keeping, and was displayed over Front street in front of the office of Messrs. Alex Sprunt & Son. It was one of the ten flags issued by the State for the first ten regiments mustered into the Con federate service. Afterwards the State adopted another flag. At the Con federate Reunion at Atlanta in July Miss Winnie Davis was the guest of Mrs. Frank S. Ellis, a daughter of Uol. I. M. . Murchison, and upon the invitation of Cape Fear Camp, U. C. V., she attended a reception of our people in her honor. She was es corted by Capt James I. Metts and Mrs. James Sprunt also, a guest of Mrs. Ellis, and she passed under this flag on the occasion referred to her last public aet in memory of the lost cause. Not only on land but even on the water the flags of this and other, nations could be seen. The schooner Wm. At. Bird, lying near Hicks' ware bouse had her rigging a-flutter with the colors, the tug Marion had a beau tiful display and other boats, including the Haivlihiirst, were also gaily orna mented. There was no doubt about the pride which awoke in every bosom at the thought of the return of the Wilming ton o) who had left home and its comforts for the hardships of a sol dier s life. There was just a tincture of disappointment on account of the boys not having seen actual fighting service, but this was forgotten in the great flood of joy at their safe return without the loss of a man. For an hour before time for the ar rival of the train bearing Company K. there was a . drifting of people v to ward the A. C. L. depot When the train came there was a perfect crush of people from the gates to the passenger shed far out into the streets. The train pulled in about ten minutes late. It was in charge of X3apt. De Leon Fillyaw and Engineer W. J. Morris. The soldiers were in two coaches'and a baggage car the same cars in which they left Raleigh yesterday at one o'clock. The train hadn't stopped before the soldiers, bronzed and har dened by constant exposure, sprang from the cars and began to greet their relatives. The more extended greetings, how ever, were? deferred . until later, and the men fell in and marched out between lines of home military or ganizations. The procession after a few minutes formed and moved down the street as follows: 1 Order of Procession. CoL Roger Moore, chief marshal, and aides, as follows; Uapt. J. I. Metts (chief of staff), C. W- Worth, Jno. H. Gore, Jr., M. S. Willard, J. H. Boat wright and W. N. Harriss. Second Regiment Band. Naval Reserves, Lieutenant McH- henny commanding. Naval Gun Detachment, Lieut J. C.

Thomas W Davis as adjutant The parade was one of the finestever seen here. The mere fact that it had in it 150 of trained 'and seasoned United States soldiers and sailors gave it considerable! dignity. And in ad dition as is seen from the programme all the military organizations in the city were present. Down Front street to Market and up Market to the ar mory was the line of march. All the way the x soldiers were greeted with tremendous enthusiasm and the pedes trians were thickest' around Com pany K. , ; At the Armory. : The scene at the armory was a most ibapressive one. . The Decoration Com mittee had done its work faithfully and flags of every description were out above and in front. Just above the entrance was the word "WeJcome" arranged by the use of sixty-two .in candescent lamps put in under the di rection of Mr. John W. Reilly, Super intendent of the Wilmington ' Gas Light Company. This effect was very fine, the rich pure light bringing out beautifully the colors of the flags and the other surroundings" t After some manceuvers in Market street in front of the armory, the mili tary companies marched to the rear where they lined up for the oration which was delivered from the steps. ! Dr. James Carmichael introduced Col. A. M. Waddell as a popular, silver tongued, battle-scarred orator. Col. Waddell's address which was in terrupted with applause, was as fol lows: "All hail ! and - thrice welcome ! Brave sons of brave sires ! " We greet with unfeigned joy and gratitude your return to your homes, and give thanks to the Lord of Hosts that He has restored you with ranks as full as on the day you marched from this armory to fight for your country. The ' opportunity for you to do so was denid to you, but that can in no wis 3 diminish your title to the op plause of your countrymen. The heroes who fought and fell upon the tangled slopes of San Juan and El Caney only did what you offered to do, and would have done if there. Theirs was the opportunity and splendidly they seized it, but the spirit which led them through the deadly storm to victory was equally yours, and the I fame which in other days was associated with the name of the Wilmington Light Infantry would have been gloriously sustained if the bugle which there sounded the charge had been yours. But you have cause for gratitude in the fact that if you did not share in the actual conflict neither did you, like hundreds of your fellow soldiers, fall victims to- the pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth in the noon day, but have returned in health and strength ta your loved ones, with the consciousness of duty faithfully per formed, and are greeted by all your fellow citizens with that most grateful of all salutations "Well done, good and faithful servants." Vithout the same urgent inspira tion that once animated your fathers and. nerved them to the performance of deeds which commanded the admi ration of the civilized world indeed doubting, as I know some of you did. the wisdom or necessity of the war you, nevertheless, in a spirit of gen uine patriotism, promptly answered the call for volunteers and left all to follow the starry standard of the Re public. All honor, therefore, to you, my true and gallant countrymen. The temptation to speak to you at greater length shall not betray me into a violation of the proprieties of the occasion. I know from experience that oratory is not one of the things which a tired soldier hungers for, and it would be unkind, alike to you and to those who are waiting to embrace you, to detain you longer. Receive, then, in the spirit in which they are tendered to you these evi dences of your townsmen ; and may the good God who has preserved and restored you to us help and keep you always. As Col. Waddell stopped speaking the band struck up on "Dixie." The enthusiasm was immense. Soldiers and civilians threw their hats into the air and uttered cheer after cheer. There were calls for MacRae and while Capt. MacRae was making his way to the steps three cheers for him were proposed by Mr. James F. Post, Jr.and most heartily given. Capt. MacRae said that it was a great honor and pleasure to be allowed the priv ilege of thanking the people of Wil mington for the magnificent welcome extended to Company K. Although his men had killed no Spaniards they were ready to fight them if they had been called on to do so. They had en dured hardships in a noble cause. The reception could not have been grander, he said, if his men had been heroes of a dozen battles. He was" warmly ap plauded. "Three cheers for Capt. Donald MacRae ; and Company K" was shouted by : Col.; Roger Moore. They were given with a vim and fol lowed by a similar demonstration for the Naval Reserves. Lieut C. H. White was called on and said that he could not make a speech, but he would say that Com pany K was the crackajack company of the regiment. As for the hardships the 'men had grown fat on them. He complimented every man in the com pany for nobly discharging his duty. He, too, was enthusiastically cheered. Others were called on for speeches, but it was suggested that the boys were tired and hungry and it would be better : to wait until later for theora- tory. So Company K at double quick speed sought the six or eight tables which were .covered with th best of good things to eat There were also quan tities of ice water and lemonade. Itr was a sumptuous repast and men who had been used to camp fare could ap preciate its excellence doubly. One by one the boys' after eating left the armory grounds, some for their homes and others for the Opera House, but it was late at night 'before the armory was without some of the returned soldiers.

Fomy Negro Deputy $heriffs Denounce the French-Russell Ring " Were Discharged Yesterday. Several of the negro deputy sheriffs appointed by Sheriff Hewlett and Act ing Sheriff French were filled with consternation yesterday by receiving notice that they had been suspended, and that their certificates of appoint ment, badges and official papers were wanted.. The deputies thus deposed are D. W. Teachy, "Tony" Ashe. Dude" Fonville and E. Pollock, four in all.- ' , j The notices of dismissal were served by Deputy Sheriff j Flynn, and were dated from last Saturday. There was no reason given for their suspension. One. of the deputies, D, W. Teachy, refused to deliver his papers or badge until Sheriff Hewlett -in person tells him 4.hat he is suspended. He will not take his discharge from Acting Sheriff French.. ' j All the ex-officials swear vengeance upon Hewlett. French and Kussell in particular, and the Republican party in general. They werei told that their dismissal was made at the request of a committee, com po ed of the follow ing negroes: J. E. Taylor, Dr. J. S. Lee, Jno. Brown, Carter Peamon, W. E. Henderson and William Augustus Moore, It is not known who ' this committee represented. : The local rep resenlatives of the party have decided that the. present needs of the party in somo way demand tne sacrince of these' officers. Teachy says he has been voting the Republican ticket for 29 years, but he "will never vote it again while G. Z. French and Dan Russell are a part of it." He says the reason he and his fellow deputies have been suspended is because they are too honest for the machine, and deputies are wanted who they can trust to per form their damnable deeds and keep the secrets. x No deputies have been appointed in the stead of those suspended as yet AUDIT AND FINANCE.
