PHILADELPHIA.
The German Peace Parade.

PHILADELPHIA, May l5.-The city is
in a blaze of bunting and the grand
German peace parade is the feature Of
the day. The route over which the
procession passes is highly decorated in
such style Of profusion as was never
before witnessed in this city. Hun
dreds of thousands Of people block the
sidewalks, and there are some from
every direction within hundred miles.
The spectators commenced gathering
on the streets as early as s o'clock this
morning to secure a good position.
The arrangements made by the Chief OF
Police were admirable, relefs were sta
toned along the route on both sides Of
the street and police did their work faith
fully. In front OF Independence Hall
and surrounding Washington's statue
platforms were erected for the accom-
mediation Of the city authorities.
Mayor Fox, of the city council, received
the usual marching salutes. The Ger
man Democrat office made magnificent
display, the building being covered
from the roof to the pavement with
flags representing all the German States,
the whole surmounted by the American
flag. The different newspaper estab-
lishments were handsomely decorated.
The principal hotels, including the Con-
tinental and Girard, were literally Gov.
cred with flags.
1t is estimated that from twenty to
twenty-five thnusand, representing all
the various trades and professions, par
ticipated.
Prominent among the feature of the
procession was the butchers turnout,
composed of one thousand men in line
in white frocks, white gloves and silk
hats. One wagon bore a smoke house
in full operation drawn by six Spanish
mules, and sandwiches being distributed
from the wagon along the whole route.
Other houses made magnificent dis
play in different trades, among them

A Great Gaslight Glorifcation.
Marching Oratoy and Feasting

From the Cincinnati Times and Chroncle.l
CHARLESTON, w. Va, May l3.-At
an early hour last evening gas on all
the streets and in many Of the houses
was lighted for the first time. No pre-
vious trial had been made, but it be-
came evident from the very beginning
that the affair would be success.
At about 8 o'clock procession, con-
sisting of fire companies, city officials,
citizens and invited guests, marched
through the principal streets, past the
Gas Works, and to the Capitol, where
addresses were delivered by several
prominent gentlemen, including Messrs.
Sam. Miller, E. B. Knight, Colonel
Nick Fitzhugh, R. R. Freer and Judge
Ward.
At the conclusion Of the speaking the
Directors and officers OF the Gas Com
pany, accompanied by a number of in
vited guests, repaired to the gas-ftting
establishment Of the company, and par
took Of sumptuous banquet. Toasts
were offered to the officers Of the Gas
Company, to old Gas himself, Mr. S:
Solomon, the protector and manager of
the enterprise, and to Capt J. D. Heg-
Ter and the courteous crew Of the Annie
Laurie, all OF which were responded to
in neat and appropriate manner.
The Charleston Gas Company was
organized about one year ago, under the
auspices of S. Solomon, Esq, of Ken
lucky. 1t is now managed by the fol-
lowing Board Of Directors: VIM. A
Quarter, II. C. Dickinson, John Clay
pool and William Parsons, with DR..
John P. Hale for President, and Mr..
John Dryden, Secretary and Treasurer:
The entire cost Of the enterprise will
amount to about forty thousand dollars,
of which twenty-five thousand dollars
is already paid up. Four miles of pipe
have been laid of six inches diameter,
and supplying the street gas. When
all are erected there will be over one
hundred lamps. The full capacity OF
the gasometer is thirty thousand cubic
feet. The Directors give all due credit
to Mr.. Solomon, the efficient manager,
who, only by his persistency and in
domitable energy, has made the enter
prise complete success.
