pressions were Of the heartiest des-

The 9Th, 9th, 9TH and Sth divisions
consisted of Lexington Minutemen,
canets from various New England
towns, Boston school regiments, poses
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
Knights of Pythlns, Ancient Order OF
Hibernians, Catholic total abstinence
societies, the order Of the United
J. American Mechanics, and many Other
organizations.
The 9Th division was mnd2 mp wholly
of representations from the trade Ano
business of the city, many leading
mercantile houses rs well as the large
mechanical establishments, contribu'
ting cars and wagons laden with goods
instances of the process OF manulactur,
were shown by men uctually Mt work
| There were altogether $50 wagons
drawn by 1000 horses. The brewers
| alone had 1000 teams in line. The pro-
ccssion was four hours and ten min.
utes passing given point, and was es'
| timatcd to be ten miles in length.
Decoration along the route, were gen
orally elaborate. The greatest private
DISPLAYS were made in Columbus aven'
ne, where were also stands for school
children, in Chester Park. Washing

was done in the business sections,
through which the procession passed
| The public buildings, places of historic
| interest, the clubs aud hotels on the
line of march, were tastefully faced
with hunting, and there were bits OF
history inscribed upon some. The old
state house, near the scene of the Bos-
ton massacre, the first contact with
the the British troops, Fanieul Hall,
the cradle of liberty, the old Christ
| Church, from which the beacOn-light
was hung that night hat warned the
country of the approach of the enemy,
and the approaches to the monument
grounds were among these.
The City Hall, in School street, was
faced with portraits of Warren and
Putnam, with surroundings indicating
the part they bore in the critical strife.
In consequence of the delay in start
| ing the procession, the exercises mt the
monument were begun at later hour
than was intended. 1t was not until
6 o'clock that the large audience in the
mammoth tent were called to crGer,
and the consequence was exercises
were curtailed TO about One-sixth of the
original programme.
| George Washington Warren pre-
sided, and introduced General Charles
Devins, Jr, rs orator Of the day. The
Grafton was confined to graphic des-
cription of the battle, and an eloquent
appeal for the burial of all political
animosites engendered 10y the late
war.
Mr.. Warren, President of the Bunker
! Hill Monument Association, gave Il
al, la, .tat,T N a.
his remarks by introducing General
Sherman.
In the course of his speech, the Cen
eral stated that to-day's pageant sur
passed anything of the Kind he had
ever before seen. While the review OF
his own army in Washington, at the
close of the war exceeded it in num-
bers, vet il was lacking in many of the
attractive features of to-day's process
sion; and besides, there was n lack of
spontaneous enthusiasm, which char
acterized the entire march to-day.
Succeeding General Sherman, Gov
ernOrs Hartranft, Of Pennsylvania
Meade, of New Jersey; lngersoll, OF
Connecticut Dingley, of Maine, aud
Vice President Wilson made short adj
dresses. Speaker Blaine and Senator
Ferry were among the distinguished
people present. Darkness caused an
ahrlipt Termination of the exercises,
and the audience was dismissed with II
benedictiOn. The number of strangers
nj the city during the day is estimated
by parties competent to judge, at be-
tween 300, 300 and 5000. About half
of these depart Tonight, nearly all
fn,ilifiaS Of !ha rail
roads having been massed in the city
for that purpose. Long beio e tho pro-
cession ended thousands of visitors
rushed through the streets to the de-
pots, where they found even standing
room in the cars was not obtainable.
Train after train was dispatched, and
still the throng about the depots and
filling all the avenues thereto seemed
to increase rather than diminish. AT
a late hour this evening the streets of
the city are thronged by crowds of
people attracted by the brilliant illu-
limitations of public buildings. The
state house and City hall are objective
points, each presenting brilliant
spectacle ofgas jets, transparancies and
calcium lights. From each of the four
portals OF Bunker I'LL Monument pow
erfll calcium lights are displayed re-
fecting their brightness far OUT on the
sea and djacent country. Various resi-
dences are Illuminated, and there Is II
general display of fireworks through
out the city. The celebral ion of to-day
has far exceeded any anticipation that
could have been formed.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., June 19.-The
United States Court has been occupied
for the past six days in hearing the
case of Harrison llills w. the North
British and Mercantile Insurance
Company. Several buildings in Quincy,
belonging to Mr.. Dills, were Insured
by this company, and were partially
destroyed by fire. The company
awaited themselves of the option to
replace the buildings in as good condi-
ton as before the lire. The work was
done, but it is claimed by plaintiif that
the buildings are of less value than be-
fore the fire. Hence the suits which
involve large amount of money.
The jury returned a verdict in favor of
the insurance company.
The Supreme Court has decided
very important question IN regard 10
taking land for public highways. The
case arose in the Sangamou Circuit
Court, wherein the land owner sued
town supervisors for pay for a strip of
land which had been condemned for a
highway, and benefits had been as
sessed against the remainder of the
land to compensate for that portion so
