DISTINGUISHED GENERALS AUD MAST VETERANS IN LINE 140,000 PEOPLE WITNESS THE CEREMONIES. The scene in Richmond, Va., on Thurs day in connection with the ceremonies in cident to the unveiling of the Lee eques trian statue, was unprecedented in the annals of that historic city. From early morn till night the tap of the drum and the tramp of soldiers forcibly reminded older citizens of the stirring days of 1861. Never were there so many people gather ed within the gates of the city ; nevei were decorations so elaborate ; never were there so many old veterans and military organizations on the streets in time of peace and never was there ( such genuine and general enthusiasm over any event. It was irufj- a confederate day, however, as the presence of many confederate veteran ' camps and the airs played by the bands pertaining to the lost cause fully attested, and this was emphasized by many manifestations of delight that they brought forth from the crowds all along the line. The house of the con federacy and the governor's mansion, though not in the line of march, were attractively decorated, and General Lee's residence, on themost fashionable thor oughfare of the city, was beautifully adorned and specially honored by the passing commands, the colors of the va rious organizations being dipped, while in many instances heads were uncovered. CHEERING TnEIR OLD GENERALS. Generals Early, Longstreet and Fita Lee received a perfect ovation, while many' other confederate leaders were greeted with enthusiasm. General Gor don', Wade Hampton and Governor Fowle were not recognized so readily as their names, but when they passed an old confederate organization to whom their faces were familiar, they were lus tily cheered. The Fifth Maryland regi ment and veterans and the New York delegation of southern veterans attracted more attention during the entire march Athan any other organizations in the pa rade. The scene along the whole route, from beginning to end, was a memorable one. Although the most extensive preparations had been made to receive the large num ber of visitors, no one expected to see the host that visited the city, yet they were all well cared for. It is asserted on all sides that the parade decorations and everything connected with the jubilee ex ceiled anything ever witnessed in the south. The parade formed on the north side of Broad street; from Adams down to Twelfth street. The linewarched, erenerally, companv front, withs double ranks. No saluting was done y the troops except when they passedjev the chief of staff. Prominent in tusvoces sion were: Generals James IKccet; Dabney II. Maury, Marcus J. WiTvi M. C. Butler, R. L. Walker, John don. A. L. Loner, Joseph E. Joh William D. J'alliaferro, R. L. E A. Early M. D. Corse, M. L. BCK-g, n. W r T.ee. Lawrence S. Baker, J . IV Tmtxden. Georere R.

Venable, and the following members oi General Lee's family : Misses Mildred and Mary Lee, Captain Robert E. Lee, Jr., General W. II. F. Lee, wife and sons, Boiling and R. E. Lee, nephews ; General Fiti Lee, with wife and daughter; Cap tain David Lee, with wife and "children, and Captain Robert Lee. : Upon, arriving at the monument, the veterans faced the grand stand, with the military behind them and the cavalry bringing up the rear. Governor McKin- ney called the assemblage to order about 4 o'clock in a few appropriate remarks. The governor introduced :Pr. Minnege- rode, who offered prayer, after which General Jubal Early was called upon to preside. He made a brief speech and presented Colonel Archer Anderson . as orator of the day, who made a brilliant and touching address. ' At the conclusion of Mr. Anderson's oration General Joseph E. Johnson pulled the cord which held the covering of the statue, and the veil dropped, ex posing the beautiful bronze work of art to view, when a mighty shout went up from the multitude. A salvo of 100 guns was fired by the First Battalion of Ar tillery. The assembly then slowly dis persed, and the troops marched to their various headquarters and were dismissed. When the statue was unveiled the crowd in the vicinity was estimated at 140,000. -Those who participated in the procession ' numbered 20,000. There were 70,000 strangers in the citv during the day. A brilliant display of fire works took place at night, the mcst striking features being a representation of the equestrian statue of Lee, . and pictures of Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson. DESCRIPTION OFrfTnE STATUE. The Lee monument makes Richmond, Va., noted as having two of the largest equestrian statues in the world, the othei beingiat of Washington. The monu ment is placed at the intersection of twe 140-f eet avenues on the summit or as cending grades. It is enclosed in a cir cle of 200 feet in diameter, with a street sixty-five feet in width on each side, so that the distance through the area from building line to building line is 830 feet. The height of the pedestal is 49 feet and a few inches, and that of the statue slightly more than 20 feet, making the total height about 61 feet above the ground. The sculptor, M. Mercie, of Paris, who has immortalized Lee in bronze, is a Frenchman.. He has given to the world the picture of Lee as he ap peared upon the battlefield of Gettysburg. His face is calm and majestic, but full of Eower. Ihe norse wnicn ne bestrides as all foikr feet on the ground, yet he appears as, if in the act of .walking. Gen. Lee's dress is characteristically plain. He is girt with a sash, which presumably hides a belt from which swings the sword of a comniander of cavalry. He is with out epaulettes, but upon the forearm of the coat sleeve is an ornament of broad braid. His hat is crushed in his right hand, while he holds the reins in his left. COSTLY BLAZES. THE FIRE jFIEND IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS ANl? MIDDLEBOROUGH, KY. Texas Spring Palce at Fort Worth, was burned toj the ground Friday night. One lire was ljst and thirty persons were in jured. Vf. Hayne, railroad contractor, was the only victim of the fire. There were threfc thousand persons in the build ing and all got out in less than three min utes. Many jumped from second story win dows and-were injured, but indications are that no deaths will result.- Mr. Hayne threw numbers of women and children from a second story window and then leaped to the ground with a senseless woman in his arms.. His clothes were all ablaze, aiid he broke several bones in his leap. H died shortly afterwurd. The fire started from some one tramping on a sulphur njiatch. The loss is estimated at $100,000,1 exclusive of exhibits of histori cal valuei' There was $15,000 insurance on the bijilding. MIDDLEBOROUGH BURNED. A dispatch fr" Middleborough, Ky., says: Saturday morning an incendiary started a jfire in a feed store back of P. Hoyland's grocery store on Cumberland avenue, and in a few minutes a raging fire was destroying everything before it. The buildings being mostly frame, the flames spread rapidly, and in two hours four entire square?, containing the finest buildings m the city, were completely burned oiiit. The loss will amount to fully $30,000, covered by about $125, 000 of insurance. Several citizens were badly burned, but none were fatally hurt. ' Two thoiisand people are homeless, and had all their effects burned up. AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. A TRAIN PLUNGED THROUGH A DRAW BttlDGK THIRTY KILLED.' A San f 1 rancisco dispatch says: A train wen through a drawbridge near Oakland,! Cal., Friday afternoon and several lives were lost. The tram was a local one, connecting Oakland with San Francisco! ferry boats. A yacht had just passed through the'draw and the keepei could not close it in time. The road curves sharply a short distance from the creek, aid when the engineer saw the draw could not bG closed in time, he endeavored to stop, but his train was too heavy anil he failed.1 The engine with the tendejr and first car went overboard and the f hnt end of the second car broke open andfmanv passengers fell intohe wafer.. "The carwAh had followehe engine toj the bbttMiaci;rose, and such of the passengers ajad escaped were picked up by yachttand other boats which gathered at the"scene. The car was toweii into shallow water, a hole cut in the rc6f, and thirteen bodies taken out. The engineer and hreman both escaped. A HORRIBLE STORY. PARENTS CHARGED WITH HAVING STARVED THEIR CHILDREN TO DEATH. A dispatch from Columbia, S. C., says: A shocking story has been brought out at an inquest on Saturday over the body of a little child in Union county. It was the last child of a family of five and it died unjder suspicious circumstances, which led to an inquest being held. Its parents were poor country people and small farmers. The evidence at the in quest shewed that the five children had been practically murdered by their pa rents. TjVhen a child was sick it would be left iit the house by itself, the parents going into the field and leaving the in fant witnout food or attention of any kind. Ip this manner the five children have becin killed. The physicians who attended! the inquest testified that the last child had died from starvation and lack of attention . The parents were ar rested aid jailed. r- 1 : A CASHIER'S THREAT TO EXPOSE TROMINENT CITIZENS AS TS&V LI CATED IX HIS SHORTAGE.

" THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. WORK OF THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE BRIEFED DELIBERATIONS OVER MAT TERS OF MOMENTOUS INTERE8T TO OUR COMMON COUNTRY. NOTES. ;. . In the senate, on Wednesday, Mr. Sher man, from the committee on foreign af fairs, reported an amendment to be offer ed to the consular and diplomatic appro priation bill, authorizing the President to carry into effect the recommendation of the international conference "by the appointment (by and with thelidvice and consent of the senate) of three commis sioners to represent the "United States in the inter-continental railway commission, wliosc compensation is to be paid from the common fund to be contributed by the several nations interested. Mr. Call yielded the floor to Mr. Allison, who 'pre sented the conference report on the army appropriation bill, Mr. Ingalls inquired what had been done in regard to the sen ate amendment prohibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors, beer or wine in can teens. Mr. Allison said that the provi sion had been modified so as to read "that no alcoholic liquors, beer or wine shall be sold or supplied to enlisted men" in any canteen, or post-trader's store, in any state or territory in which the sale of al coholic liquors, beer or wine is prohib ited bylaw." Mr. Vest, at 6 :10, moved adjournment. The motion was agreed to, and the senate, at 6:40, adjourned till Thursday. The house was called to order Wednes day morning by Speaker Reed. After the reading of the journal, Mr. O'Neil, of Pennsylvania, presented the credentials of Mr. Vaux, and tkey having been read by the clerk, he escorted Mr. Vaux to the bar of the house, and the latter gentle man qualified as representative from the third district of Pennsylvania and Mr. Vaux affirmed, and as he took his seat he was greeted with: applause. On mo tion of Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, a bill was passed appropriating $125,000 for the establishment of a national military park at the battlefield of Chicamauga. Con ference was ordered on the naval appro priation bill, and then the house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows in the chair) on the river and harbor bill. The pending question was on the point of order raised by Mr. MeCreary, of New York, against the clause prescribing pen alties upon the owners of bridges which obstruct the navigation of rivers. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the house . .The bill was then passed without division. Adjournment was ordered from Thursday until Mon day, and the house adjourned. The house was almost deserted Thurs day morning, the majority of demo cratic members being in Richmond. Public building bills consumed the day, In committee of the whole bills appro i '- 1 rgt trf .. .V pnaii;-.neariv abo.oov.ww were uasscui Thipublic building bills passed so far thitysession amount? to $9,000,000, with $5,000,000 still on the calendar. The chances are that President Harrison will use his veto pen freely when they reach the white house. - In the senate, on Thursday, Mr. Teller introduced the following joint resolution, which was laid on the table and ordered printed: That it is the determined policy of the United States government to use both gold and silver as full legal tender money, under the ratio now existing ,in the United States, or which may hereafter be established by the Unitd States alone, or acting in accord with other nations. The senate bill subjecting imported li quors to the provisions of the laws of the several states, was again "taken up. After considerable discussion, the bill was passed yeas, 34 ; nays, 10. It reads : "That all fermented, distilled or other intoxicating liquors or liquids, trans ported into any state or territory for use, consumption, sale or storage shall, on ar rival in such a state or territory (or re maining therein), be subject to the oper ation of the laws of such state or territo ry, enacted in the exercise of police pow ers, to the same extent and in the same manner as though such liquor or liquids had been produced in such state or terri tory, and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of being introduced therein in original packages or otherwise.". The river and harbor appropriation bill was received from the house and referred to the committee oa' commerce. After a brief executive session the senate ad journed till Monday. . NOTES.

The Southern members have been particularly interested in it, and it is believed by them to be the death of the subtreasury scheme. Indeed, they believe after all the Alliance have read this letter they will abandon tne sub-treasury bill and be gin to look for something better. There is a movement on foot in the senate to have congress take a recess from the first ofJuly to the first of October. The reason the men who have proposed this assign , is that the senate finance committee will take at least three months to prepare a tariff bill, to report to the senate as a snbstitue for the house bill. and that while this committee is at work there will be no business for the houses to trarsact outside of that which they finish by the first ot July.

An English inventor offers a system by which coal gas compressed to one-eighth its natural bulk can be carried about and utilized as an illurainant when desired. Instead of chewing slate-pencils and drinking vinegar and lime-juice adipose doctors feed their patients raw fruit without sugar or cream and obesity tea. The doctors in the French fleet have been forbidden to practice "hypnotism" on their patients. A similar prohibition was issued some months ago to the French army doctors. The appliance of hydraulic power to the manufacture of steel seamless boats is one of the latest things in England. These boats are thought to be in every particular superior to those made of wood and can be made at about the same cost. The experiment of constructing a large building of paper has been success fully made at Hamburg, Germany, where an immense hotel, with its facade and other important parts composed of that material, and claimed to be fire-proof, has been eVected. In using emery wheels it has been found that at a high speed one ounce of wheel material would only grind off six ounces of metal, while at a lower speed it would grind off eleven ounces. At this lower speed the wheel was making 2150 revolutions. The electrical process has been suc cessfully adopted in South Australia for the recovery of the minute particles of gold dust that have hitherto been lost in the work of separating the metal from1 the ore. . The economical value of the process has been abundantly proved. An engineer on the Iron Mountain Road, of Missouri, has perfected an au tomatic bell-ringer on his locomotive, and now when running in corporation limits or whenever the bell must be rang he just jerks a spring and the bell is kept going by steam power till he turns off the steam. A new incandescent lamp has been in troduced which is said to obviate discol oration.

A c work arrangement pours every thirty onds ten centograms of powdered magne sium into the flame of a round wick- lamp, producing an extremely brilliant flash of light. . The Gamelle. There is a kind of tin mug called the gamelle, in which the French soldier re ceives his rations, and which he carries on his knapsack. The form is a little peculiar, so as- to distinguish it from other ordinary tin mugs. A simple im plement which, carried on the backs ol French soldiers, has marched so iften to victory, and of late to defeat, has at last received its reward in its glorification. When the young Duke of Orleans came before the court, and exclaimed: 'I ask for nothing but a gamelle," meaning nothing but the treatment of a common soldier, the public. readily seized upon the emblem. Scarcely three days had elapsed before a great jeweler of the Rua de la Paix had hundreds of "tin mugs" in silver, gold and - jewels, as pins and badges, which sold immediately as the "tin mug" of Orleans," and were worn all over Paris. ;A popular florist de signed a vase in the shape -ot the "tin mug," and presented the first specimen to the Prince, who sent it to his bride, Mar garet de Chartres, filled with roses and lilies of the valley. A restaurateur orig inated a gamelle as a soup dish, and sent it to the noble piisoner full of bouillon. But this was not permitted within the prison. "Jn the meanwhile, all Paris is sporting the soldier's tin mug in the tri color, and the young Duke has left a fashionable ornament to remember him by. The Ledger. A MusfSal Tree. Accounts of reliable travelers describe a musical tree, found both in the West Indies and in Nubia. This vegetable phenomenon has a peculiar shaped leaf, and pods with a split or open edge. As the wind blows through these it gives out the sound which gives the tree its peculiar name. Inthe Barbadoes there is a valley filled $vith these trees, and when the wind blows across the island, a constant moaning, deep-toned whistle is heard, which, in the still hours of the night, has a weird and mournful effect. A species of acacia, which grows very abundant in Nubia and the Soudan, is also called 'whistling tree" by the na tives. Its shoots are frequently, by the agency of the larvse of insects,distorted in 3hape and swollen into a globular blad der from one to two inches in diameter. After the insect has emereea irom a circular hole in the side of this swelling, the opening, played upon by the 'winJ, becomes a musical instrument, nearly equal in sound to a sweet-toned flute.
