Amid the thunder ing of artillery, the music of many bands and the cheers of the soldiers of the past and the civilians of the present, the flags that hid the bronze figure were removed and the monument for the first time graced the spot which it will adorn for the many years to come. It was 10:30 a. m. before the order of march was given. On the plat form were seated General Horatio G.

As the procession neared the City Hall, Reynolds post No. 71 stood on the platform surrounding the Reynolds monu- 1nent and the band played ttHail to the Chief'' The Keystone battery under Cap tain Stafford fired salute and the officers of Reynolds post each grasped Q rope and the flag was lifted from the statue and waved over the head of the Gettysburg hero Col onel R.

 Game on MT. BIafne's Train-Many
 Victims to the EfIes of the Light
 Fingered Gentry.
 On the train which brought Hon. James G. Blaine to this city there were any num- Der of pickpockets. The most of these gentry boarded the train at Meriden, where they had
 been doing their funny business at the State fair. When the train with Mr Blaine on board arrived in Meriden there was of course a general rush to see ''the next President , and here was where the thieves first com menced to 'tget in their work" A gentle man who got off the train at Meriden for half minute was relieved of a gold watch valued at $125. Lieutenant Gilbert, of Ham den, who had been at the fair, rushed through the train to get sight at MT. Blaine, that he was minus pocketbook containing $325 and 8 gold watch worth $150. He stopped over one train at Meriden and com plained at the police headquarters, but they could give him no satisfaction and did not even take the pains to telegraph or even tele- phone to police headquarters in this city to look out for the pickpockets. When the train arrived in this city, and while the crowd was rushing to see the distinguished Maine statesman, the scoundrels again piled their nefarious business and relieved several per sons of their money and watches. Among these was Charles S. Hyde, who lost a valuable hunting case gold watch for which he offers $25 reward. A man who works at Sargent's factory also lost watch. A New York gentleman who did not want his mentioned lost a gold hunting case watch on the outside of which was "J. L. P" and on the other side t1876." A professor in Yale college cautioned his two daughters to look out for their watches and while they were caring for theirs he lost his own valued timepiece Hon. David M Read, W. F. Bishop and Henry T. Shelton, of Bridgeport, and man by name of Wet more, of Boston, had their watches taken at the depot in Bridgeport by the pickpockets on arrival of the train bearing Mir Blaine from this city.
 The police of this city telegraphed to the officers in Bridgeport to look out for the thieves, but it is presumed that the dispatch did not reach there in time to be of ervice.
