BUT 4 FRIGHTFUL DISASTER CAME The Explosion of Caused the Death of Four and the Wounding of Several Membrs of the Louisville Legion—Portraits o! Old Union Generals Along the Line • The Parade Headed by Two Ex-Confederates With Red, White and Blue Scarfs. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 11 —After all the demonstrations of the week, the pa rade to day was the event of the twenty ninth national encampment of the G. A. R., as it has been of ail former encamp ments. The air was full of patriotic music, aid the streets were carnivals of richness in design and provision of the red, white and blue. Along miles of bunting and amid hun dreds of thousands of cheering citizens, the comrades once more marched on Southern soil. No contrast could be greater than that of the reception of the gateway of the South to day to the op position at its portals thirty four years ago. “The veterans themselves were the most interesting feature of the parade, although everything that money and in genuity could* command of warlike de signs were added to the procession. The veterans had spent two days and nights at camp tires and re unions, in hunting up bunk mates and comrades, and in talking over old experiences in the ser vice, but they say they never feel “like old times,” till they get in line. And they formed a long, strong line of “Yankees” in marching through Ken tucky to day. while thousands of “John nies” grew hoarse in cheering them along the way. And the ladies of Lou isville and from all parts of the South, in brilliant drees, joined in the great chorus of cheers as heartily as they were intense in bitterness along the marches in the days of strife. The veterans showed the weight of years and the effect of service while marching to day. It was the general re mark that there were never so many old, lame and feeble men in line. None of tbeold Union generals around whom they gathered so fondly at form er encampments, and whose carriages they cheered so lustily in former parades, were here. Their portraits were seen along the lice cf march, but they are bivouacking where most of their com rands will soon join them. At sunrise the only clouds were from the salute of forty guns, and the weather even was for peace. The departments began forming at an early hour under the special orders to have the procession move promptly at 40:30 a. m. At 9:30 another salute was fired for the grand division to form At 10 a. m., the guns indicated that the escort was moving to the head of the column and at 10:30 the salute signalled all of the grand divisions to move. Under a proclamation of the Mayor, the streets where the divisions formed and the en tire line of march were cleared of every thing, while the Louisville Legion, the cadets and Kentucky National Guard patrolled the streets, and there was no delay. Mounted police first cleared the way, followed by a large detachment. The parade was headed, some distance in front of the first grand division, by two ex Confederates on horse-balk, Capt. John H Weller and Capt. Win. H. Har *ison. They did not wear the gray, but were dressed in black frock coats, with silk bats and red, white and blue sashes, the sane as members of tfce citizens committee. They also wore red, white and blue ..car,' a id rosettes. Capt. Weller carried a very large Hag, and the stars and stripes were proudly borne by him. Capt. Harrison carri d a very large white banner of peace mounted on a staff lfke the stars and carried by his Confederate comrade. The two Hogs were alike in every respect except in the colors, one being all pure white. Iu plaoe of the eagle on top of the staff the white banner had a dove carrying olive twig, designating peace and good will. The conception of these two ex-Confederates at the head of the great procession of ex Federal soldiers, with their respective flags, was that of Col. Cohn, chairman of the committee on parade aud review. The procession moved on time to the monument to the great satisfaction of hundreds of thousands suffering from the uc.it along the line of march, as well as those in line. The thermometer stoed at 90 and there 'Acre a number of heat prostrations among the spectators and veterans in line. Gen. Lawler estimated the number of veterans in line to be B*9 000. A horrib’e accident resulting in the death of four and the wounding of several o her members of the Louisvtlle Itegion, occurred shortly after 5:30 o’clock this morning by the explosion of a caisson. The accident occurred on Broadway, between third aud fourth sheets, where the fiffst Kentucky artillery were sta tioned for 9he purpose cf firing the morn ing salute. K_ e witnesses of the disaster say that the expio km was caused by dropping W-.e caisson on the frictios primer ot the pfeoe. The gnn waft situated directly in the center of the street, pointing toward Fourth avenue. Two of the bodies were Wovru over the Lour- pi and horribly mangled. Two hatees attached to the cannen were so horribly mangled that they had to be killed. The dead: Corporal A. L. Robinson; private. Charles Biechner; private, A Mcßride; driver, W. Adams, colored. The wounded : Sergeant Fred. Cohn, private E. William Hobes. All the men excepting the colored driver were members of the battery “A,” of the Kentucky National Guard, and all reside in Louisville. As soon as the accident occurred the city ambulance was called and the wounded men were taken to the Norton Infirmary, where their injuries were attended to. It is feared that Fred. Cohn will ' ie. The whole left side of his face was blown off. Even if he should recover he will be blind and horribly disfigured. Hobes was badly burned about the face and bruised. The place where the accident occurred is one of the finest residence districts iu 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 the block was blown ont. Nearly everyone in the neighbor hood was asleep, and the noise the con cussion caused by the explosion almost created a ranic. Half clad men and terrified women came running from tbeir homes, and a most horrible scene met their eyes. The body of the colored driver, mangled al most beyond recognition, fell on the front porch of a residence, fully three hundred feet from the place where the explosion occurred. Just outside the fence and on the sidewalk was the body of private Woods* Bits of flesh and pieces of bloody uniform were scattered all along the street, clinging to the tree tops and in the shattered windows. A leg and half a coat were found on Third street, one block South of where the ex plosion took place. They must have been blown clear over a three-story and basement house. Several mangled legs and arms were found on the tops of ad jacent houses. There were sixty six pourdi of powder in the caisson. Richard Cogan, who was about two blocks from the caisson when it blew up, caid the noise it made was terrific. The concussion was so great that the build ings even at that distance were shaken, and in several of the houses aronnd him windows were shattered. He hastened to the scene at once, and lent a helping hand in gathering up the remains of the dead melitiamen. In a few minutes every one in the neighborhood was out. Many of the womeD, said Mr. Cogan, fainted as soon as they came out, the sight was so hor rible. Crowds of people gathered on the scene to view the terrible disaster. They were kept back, however, by a special detail of soldiers and police. No one was admitted within the intersection of Third and Fourth streets. On all sides exclamations lamenting the deaths of the soldier boys were heard. In a short time news of the disaster spread over the entire city. Bulletins were posted at all the newspaper offices and in several of the public buildings giving the names of the dead and wounded. The accident h«s cast a shadow of gloom over the city. Everyone had been prepared for a grand and joyous event. The thousands of visitors, who throng the streets and hotels of the town, were everywhere heard to express their sor row It is doubtful if anything ever oc curred i a this region that has caused such widespread sorrow. The regiment to which the young men belonged is made up of the pick and flew r c f.Loui*> ville. Many of them are society leade s and are of wealthy families. ALABAMA SILVER DEMOCRATS.

WATTERSONS WORDS THE ST A 11-TONGU ED ORATOR H ELCOM ES Til EG K AND AR M V I N A BRILLIANT SPEECH. LET THE PAST BURY ITS DEAD. God Reigns and the Government at Washington Lives—Let’s Lick Crea tion and Make the Unspeakable Turk Vote the American Ticket—Let the Plain People Stand Together—Sla very a Monstrosity, and Secession Foolishness. Louisville, Ky., September 11. — Grand Army veterans and their friends to the number of 4,000 attended the grand camp-fire at Music Hall to-night. Like all other buildings in Louisville, the hall was elaborately decorated and every one was just bubbling over with pa triotism and enthusiasm. Au elaborate programme had been prepared and it was carried out to the delight and enter tainment of all present. The camp fire opened with “Marching Through Georgia,” played by a military band. The Hon. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, then made the welcome address in behalf of the cit izens’ committee. He spoke in part as follows: ‘ Comrades, for under the star flowered flag of the Union all who truly love it are comrades, iu the name of the city and State I bid you the heartiest wel come. I have been in every State and Territory of the Union and I can truly say that I never came away from any one of them where I had not found something to make me proud of my country. All that I do contend for is that you will find here more kinds of good things and more of them than you will find anywhere else on the face of the globe. Let the dead past bury its dead. You at least have no reason to complain. You got away with as many of us as we got away with you. The brave men who have gone to heaven have long ago settled the act before that court where all is made right. God reigns and the government at Washington lives. That should satisfy us all. It there is any more fightiDg to be done, lets go and lick England and take Canada; lets go and lick Spain and take Cuba; lets go and lick creation and make the un speakable Turk vote the American ticket. We can do it. Shoulder, shoulder, with the world before us and old glory above, who shall stop us, “No surrender.” “No pretender.” “Pitted together in many a fray.” “Lions in fight.” “And linked in their might,” “The North and South will carry the day.” * “All that is wanted in this great land of ours is for the people—the plain people, as Lincoln called them- to realize from Maine to Texas, from Florida to Oregon, that there is nothing whatever to divide them. They are the same. The monstrosity of slavery out of the way, the foolishness of secession out of the way, and the nation having actually had its new birth of freedom. What but ignorance and prejudice to hinder the stalwart Americans in Minnesota from taking the hand of stalwart Amcr- j icans in Georgia and calling him “broth er?” Both came from a common origin, good; old Anglo Saxon and Scotch Irish stock and are welded together by common interest and a common destiny, bone of one bone, flesh of one flesh, iu national aspiration and fellow ship. God made this continent for us anil consecrated it to freedom. Tue transfiguration of nature not less than the transfusion of blood oiearly indicate the will of God. Who dares di-pute Hi; awful work ? But pardon me, I din not mean to bet serious. This is an occasion for rejoio i og, for merry making, not for reflection If anybody thinks he’s thinking, wake him- he’s only dreamily. If anybody thinks he’s not welcome, tie him. If them’s a dog that fails to wag his tail for joy. shoot bitu. We are glad to see you. We are glad you oarae. Now that you have found the way, come again and come often. The latch string will always hang outside the door and the ci’!v pass word shall be “I am au American citizen ” Mr. Watterson was frequently inter rupted during his speech by applause and when he finished the building fairly shook with cheats that were given for him. SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION Opened up With a Snarl, But Finally Started Out For Ilas'iies* Columbia, 8 C., Sept. 11. -The only feature of interest in to day’s hesrion of the Constitutional Convention was a lit tle snarl as to the taking of an oath. Toe Convention decided that its members should take the customary oath for offi cers in this State 1 and a number of members had been sw T orn when the point was made that membership iu a conven tion was not an office, that no oath was requisite and that if tne oath w r ere taken the members would bo constituted offi cers and such of them as held other offices would have vacated t hem by their oaths, as the constitution does rot allow a man to hold two offices. The convention rescinded its action ordering the taking of the oath and the record of the pro ceedings was expunged from the journa'* The convention cammittees were an nounced. Senatcu' Tillman is chairman of the Suffrage Committee. WEDDING AT FRANK LINTON. Marriage of Miss Mary Virginia Cade to Mr. Ernest Maury Martin, ol Ral eigh. The Bride a Daughter ol Rev. Baylus Cade.

He Comes Out Flat-Footed Against the White Metal and Dances to the Racket ol the Reform Club. Washington, D. C , Sept. 11.—Sena tor Roger Q Mills, of Texas, has written a letter to the Hon. James G. Dudley, chairman of the Democratic State Com mittee of Texas, in which he comes out squarely against the free coinage of sil ver by the United States independently of other nations. In his letter he says: “I have been called upon to give to the people of Texas an expression of my opinion on the financial questions now being discussed on the stump and in the press of the estate. I have spoken in and out of Congress on all tne phases of the pending controversy, and had supposed that my opinins were known to all of my constituents. I repeat now what I have so often said, that I am in favor of retaining both gold and silver currency circulation, and have been ever sin#e the coinage question has been brought into controversy. I advocated the unlimited coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1 as long as I could see a pros pect of keeping them both in our circu -1 .tion. i‘The continued fall of silver and tbe progressive abandonment of it as a standard of value by other countries, has separated the two metals so tar that the conclusion has been forced upon my mind that the United States alone can not bring them to par and keep them at par throughout the world at that ratio. I woulo be glad to have all the mints of the world open to unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at 151-2 or 16 to 1. But this is a result that cannot be produced by any one nation, because no one country is able to control the demand and supply of all the gold and silver in the world. We must &s --cer ain what we can-do independently of other countries and what the best inter ests of the people of the United States require us to do.” In conclusion he advocates payments of the public debts as rapidly as possible, opposed tlte sale of interest liearing bonds in time of peace and favored issuance of non interest bearing treas ury notes to tide every temporary de ficiencies in the revenues. Charlotte Young Women to Go oh the Stage. Charlotte society is to lose, at least for Ibo winter, three of its most cbaimmg members— Misses Connie. Liki and Saida Jones.

Lament Says not, but Signs Seem lt» Point to a Different Answer—But Senator Cockrell Says Cleveland W ill Take the Nomination it he can get It. Special to the News and Observer. Washington, D. 0., Sept. 11. Secretary Lamont, who is regarded as Whitney’s representative in the cabinet, says that Whitney will not be a candi date for the presidential nomination. O’Brien Moore says, commenting on this: “Mr. Whitney continues to coyly de clare that he is not a candidate, but his friends continue to meander through the country shouting his praises and giving assurances to the Democrats that he can carry New York, Connecticut aud New Jersey. It is considered reasonably cer tain that these gentlemen are not paying their own expenses in their patriotic tours through the provinces, as they are fond of terming all that region of the United States outside of New York. Mr. Whitney i 3 known to have a large bank account and to be a liberal giver, but perhaps he is merely trying to gauge the public sentiment of the country and not to create a public sentiment for himself. But whether Mr. Whitney is really an active candidate or not, there is no doubt that he is desirous of controlling the del egation to the National Convention from New York State.” * * * A special writer in the Washington Post contributes the following: “Senator Cockrell never looked in bet ter health than yesterday when I met him. He was frank and full of convic tion on some very important subjects. “ ‘Cleveland will want a nomination again,’ he said. ‘I was laughed at by some people for saying this two years ago. It is coming true, however, very fast. Cleveland, if he lives, will be after a nomination in 1896. Every sign and indication point to it.’ “ ‘Senator Morgan says the same thing,’ I interjected. ‘Not only Sena tor Morgan but many others besides lum,’ continued Senator Cockrell. ‘I men tioned my belief that Cleveland would be after a third term to a friend one day, a prominent Democrat he was. He scoffed at the idea. Not many weeks ago something occurred which opened his eyes a bit. He chanced to be in conversation with a cabinet officer. The talk was on politics and rambled about very generally. ‘Who are the Democrats gotog to name for the Presi dency,’ queried my friend. ‘Why,’ said the cabinet officer, ‘I don’t see that we can do any better than to run the old man. Cleveleland is the natural can didate as things shape up.’ My friend came back and told me that the ready tone of calm assurance, wherewith the cabinet officer mentioned Cleveland for a third term showed that the idea was by no means new to him and that the whole business had evidently been dis cussed and agreed to. “ ‘For myself,’ went on Senator Cock rell, ‘I have no donbt of Cleveland’s in tention to run. He believes he would be elected. The question, if any exists in his mind, turns on the subject of the nomination. If he is satisfied that he can get the nomination you may be sure he will be a candidate.’ * “ ‘Missouffp said Senator Cockrell, as the conversation diverted naturally to his State, ‘and Missouri’s Democracy are for free silver at 16 to 1. When I went out there recently I found the silver sen timent stronger than ever. Y’ou need not credit any story about silver being on the decline. The sentiment is on the increase. “ ‘lt has been tbe gold bug hope and statement that with good crops the sil ver enthusiasm would die out. Thi3 au tumn will be an excellent time to prove the Missouri’s crops were bet ter than since I c&n remember. No such yields of com aud wheat have ever been chronicled, and yet while groaning har vests are being garnered the silver sen timent, just as I tell you, is becoming stronger every day.’ ” DEFENDER GETS THE DECISION Should the Yankee Boat H in To-day the Series Will bj Ended, Unless Tuesday’s Uttie is Resailed. New York, Sept. H.—Tbe Regatta Committee of the New York Yacht Club has sustained Defender's protest of the Valkyrie because of the foul in Tuesday’s r ee. The announcement was made late this afternoon and the decision means, in the judgment of expetts that the race Is given to Defender, aud that it will not be sailed again except with the consent of the owners of both yachts. To-morrow’s race will therefore be the third and should Defender win, the last of the series, unless an agroement is reached, to reßail Tuesday’s race. WILL NOT EXKCUI EFLORBVCIO.
