the 9TH Regiment Amory. The former will begin
Immediately after the conclusion of the parade and

guests are In accord After the procession has been
disbanded at the Battery the priyates and

find about the entrances number OF
men who will give every uniformed soldier
n ticket which entities him to admission to
the interior Of the building. There he will find
tables spread with bountful luncheon, and he
will be given fully as much lager beer as may be
consistent with his dignity. The Committee of
Arrangements has employed Caterer Mazzetti to
provide IuncheOns for G,000 persons, and although
the fare will not include many delcaoles 1t viii be
good of its kind and sufficiently substantial TO
satisfy the most hungry. There will be no attempt
20 decorate the interior, mainly because 1t Is
thought moro advisable TO spend all tho approprla-

IN event of Storm would find better accommodation
ia the building were it unencumbered by flags and
bunting.

A FINE DAY EXPECTED.

There is every indication that tomorrow will be
characterized by weather different from that which
has made this city so unpleasant place of abode
for the last few days. TRIBUNE reporter called
at tho Signal Service station on the Equitable Build
ing last night and was informed that there were no
storms at p H. in any part of the country with the
exception of the extreme Northwest and Texas.
The storms which strike this city usually generate
about Tennessee and move to the northeast along
the coast In that State there was fog but not rain
and there was no storm within 200 miles of it.
The barometer at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
indicated 3O.17; at 1880 o'clock 1t had risen to
3O2S, and was steadily mounting. At 8 O'clock
there was not a cloud visible IN the sky and the
chances are decidedly in favor of an undmmed sun
shining upon the celebration Of Evacuation Day.

THE TINE OF THE BRO0KVILLE MURDERS.

The inquest in the BrOOkville murders was
continued yesterday. Mrs MacQueen testified that she
lit the lamp and sat down TO supper with her husband At
ten minutes to o'clock They were eating fifteen or
twenty minutes before they heard cry OF murder.
Doyle subjected to rigid examination by District
Attorney Fleming and he recommted TO the jail at
Long Island City. Mrs Lambertson was also examined
by the District-Attorney. but the examination WIS
private.
The evidence OF Mrs. MacQueen establishes the time Mt
which the neighbOrs went over the Maybces, which
must have been not later than 800 p M, whereas the
general belief has been that II after O'clock a
strong impression prevails that both murders
committed between halfpast o'clock and quarter 10 ;.
There Is In BroOkyile a certain amount OF suspicion
against the IambertsOns and Ed Tappan

THE DEMAND FOR MILITARY GOODS.


The approach of Evacuation Day with it's monster
procession has had marked effect upon the trade
in military goods. All sorts of military Organiza-
tons and nou-Inilitary bodies which will parade on
that day in uniforms have for several
weeks been Frightening up the old
swords and epauets and putting new
gold braid on their old hats Orders for military
goods and ornaments have been received by the
principal dealers in them from organizations In
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-Jersey Virginia
and from all parts Of this State The chief demand
comes from veteran corps, Grand Army posts and
miscellaneous organizations which do not keep
their uniforms In complete trim ordinarily. 1t APP
pears from the orders received that there has been
tremendous lack in this part of the country Of gold
braid on hats, that here and there an epaulet has
been missing and that sword tTappings have been
missing in largo quantities. One Of the chief
articles that has been allowed TO stray away from
uniforms in the Eastern States is the badge. Con-
seauently there is q rush of orders for gilt embems
of that kind with company numbers In the centre
and ornaments Of more or less elabOratcness 20 hll
ont the design. Members Of the National Guard an
the city seem to need little special preparation for
the great parade but country companies in this and
other states have found it necessary TO get great
quantities of miscellaneous articles of military
splcndOr for the occasion.
