Magnificent Decorations The Olym pia One Mass of Buntlt g The Oreat Naval Parade. Hj Wire to Thi Tilbgram. Now York, Sept 29 No more love ly day cf.uld haye been desired than this which is warming the heart of every one of the millions who have come to help the metropolis welcome t e hero who came from th damps of Manila. Thrones began to pour into the city early this mornin? and it i nw esti mated thai two millions of visitors are h re, notwithstanding the fact that many find the bluffs of the New Jer sey coast and the shores of the bay as far down aa the Narrows more desira ble points from which to view the pa rade Not a 8' roke of business is being done, except by the venders of Dewey specialties and by the newspaper men and telegraphers, who stick to their posts, though an earthquake shake the foundations of the world. The decorations are low perfected, and the present spectacle is of ravish ing beauty. Huge letters of 14 Welcome Dowtj," thirty-eix feet high and from twenty-four to thirty-two feet wide, are ousrended from Brooklyn bridee, and the triumphal arch in Madison Square ;s entirely completed. The decorations are the pride of New York, and are worthy to be the pride of the whole country. THE CELEBRATION BEGINS. New York, Sept. 29 Mayor Van Wyck and committee at eleven o'clock formally welcomed Dewey. This was th-j official beginning of the celebra tion. The call of the mayor was immediately returned by the admiral to the steamer Sandy Hook. ' The Olympia was the first warship to get in the line of parade and now awaits the word to start, r. DEWEY AFFECTED. " " New York, Sept. 29 Dewey was very much affec.ed by the mayor's speech of welcome. The flagship was dressed in the most victorious style. Evero flag seemed a ray of color. The ship's signal lock ers were hauled to spell according to the code what the admiral's heart was too fu.l to utter. HOWISONS TACT. New York, Sept. 29 Rear-Admiral Howieon settled the question of prec edence by putting the cruiter Chicago in the rear of the yachts. Many ex pressed pleasure at the tact he dis played. The parade is now searing Grant's Tomb. 2,000,000 VISITORS. New York, Sept. 19 The mayor welcomed Dewed at eleven. Dewey was much affected. The Oiympia, one mass of bunting, started at one promptly from quaran tine. She moved slowly from 6tart to finish. Guns boomed, and whistles screeched, and chi-ers sped along the bay and river. The warships followed the Olympia, all gaily dressed. Ninety-two yachts followed, followed by one hundred and fifty merchant ma rine. The shores were thronged from ev ery point of vantage. It is estimated that there are two millions of visitors in the city. FAIR WEATHER. Washington, Sept 29 Fair tomor row for New York.

El&ewhere will be found a notice of dissolution by mutual consent of the firm of Perkins & Hall, proprietors of the McAdoo House. Mr. Hall retires from the business and Mr. Perkins continues the management. We wish both these gentlemen success. Mr. Hall was seen by a Telegram man this afternoon and he says he has not yet decided what business he will engage in. His friends hope he will remain in Greensboro. Meantime Mr. Perkins will continue to take care of the crowds which throng the McAdoo with the same cour'esy which has characterized his former management.

About a year ago Mr. N. L. Hanner gave F M. Keith a check for $40, in payment of a debt. Mr. Keith had the check cathed by Hiatt & Lamb, the well known grocers. When Mr. K.-ith was gone it was discovered that he had failed to endorse the check. Before Mr. Keith could b-3 seen Mr. Hanner came along, and it was suggested that he could change the word ''order" to "bearer" and thus make it go at the bank. "No sooner said than done," ts Uncle Remus would say, none of the parties thinking thee was anything wrong about it as Mr. Hanner was the man who gave the check in the first place. Mr. Keith, for some reason, fished up the old check and on last Wednes day the parties were up before 'Squire Eckel on a charge of forgery, and the justice sent them on to court. Whether this s 'aw or whether it is not law is not a question for us. The firm of Hiatt & Lamb bears a good name, ar.d so does Mr. Hanner. No one who knows, or has had dealings with either of them, will for a moment believe tl ere was any wrong intent on their part. But the question which appeals to us la this: If a justice of the peace can take the law into his own baud:! and allow a compromise in a lot of gambling cases, without even an ex amination of the witnesses, and in a case where the parties all knew that gambling was a violation of law, why, in the name of common sense, couldn't he smash up the little law fixin's and dismiss a forgery case, where every body knows the parties were ignorant of a violation of law and innocent of any crime or felony? Mr. Hermon Wilson Dead. Sometime in April la9t r. Herman Wilson, mail agent from thi9 city to Goldsboro, contracted a cold and on the 14th of that month was compelled to stop work. His illness toon devel oped Into consumption He grew rap idly worse, and this morning about 7 o'clock, death relieved him of his suf fering. He res dt d with his mother on Davie street, and tomorrow morning the remains will be taken to Kinsioii foi interment, at the old home of the family. He was a young man, well spoken of by his associates in the mail service, and by all who knew him. A brother of the deceased arrived in the city last night and with other members of the family, will accompany the remains to Kinston tomorrow. Little Qlrl Dead. Death comes to ,the young and the old alike. Youth is no security against the grim reaper. This morn ing about nine o'clock, God, in Hi9 wibdom took little six-year-old Elsie Bennett, daughter of Mr aud Mrs. W. P. Bennett, who reside on Bell Mearte avenue. The fpirit return from whence it came, to a loving Father's tender care and the body re turns to dust to await the final tri umphant union.

It is not kno vn how long he will remain in Washington, but his stay will be determined largely by events after he comes here and consults with the president It U understood to be his intention to sp nd a short time at his old home in Vermont, and it is not improbable that he may visit Chicago, and a few oter large cities. Next Monday morning the escor committee will leave Washington on a special train via PennsylvaniaRail road, on a train tendered by the com pany.

Were it not for the Niw York recep tion it is doubtful ' the attendance at the Washington re- ej i-ion would be as large as it will be.
