The annual reunion of the army of
the Tennessee now in progress at Lake
Minnetonka, recalls the services of that
famous organization which was disband-
ed nineteen years ago, after four years Of
successful fighting aud marching. The
army of the Tennessee began it's career
at Fort Donclson and throughout all it's
subsequent service maintained an ipdi-
viduality which will cling to it through
out all history. It was the department
Of the union forces which gave to the
country Grant. Sherman, McPher-
son. Howard, o Logan, each of these
famous generals having in turn com.

of its invipcible forces. The army of
the Tennessee was never defeated. 1t

result at Vicksburg- on the 4th of
July, 1863 a division of the army of the
Tennessee, headed by the present repub-

tered the defeated stronghold and took
formal possession. From the tedium of
camp life within the entrenchments of

army of the Tennessee was suddenly
called by Rosecrans' disaster at Chicka-

the lost ground on the bloody field Of
Mission Ridge. The organization of the
Georgia campaign brought the army of
the Tennessee together again and under
Mcpherson it forced its way to Atlanta

forces there, sacrificing its gallant com.

The men alternately outraged the mother and daughter, and in resisting them both were bruised unmerci- fully. The next morning the women were taken to the river, forced into boat and the whole party foated down the river to Smiths Landing where the mother was taken to the shore. Two of the men with her daughter proceeded to near Birchwood, Bradley county, where she was kept in GUS tody two days, making her escape while her captors were asleep. The mother made rants were placed in the hands of Marshal Razor, and he arrested one James Gi1hurst, who on preliminary trial confessed the crime and gave the names of the parties associated with him. Yesterday Henry Thomas was arrested in Bradley county and taken to Spring City for trial Gilhurst was committed to jail at Washing ton The other five men whose names are not divulged are still at large, but are known to be close neighbors to Mrs. Buchanan This evening Miss Buchanan stated that after arriving near Birchwood she got possession of knife and upon one of the men renewing his assaults she stabbed him and made her escape into the woods, leaving the man dead on the ground.

Five Thousand Persons Fed in the

Five Thousand Persons Fed in the
 Woods.
 LEXINGTON, Ky, July 29.-The Democratic barbecue here to-day was sn immense affair. Over ten thousand persons were present in the grove. Preparations to feed the multi tude had been in progress several days. Last night about midnight fires were lighted in the wood pits and after they had burned to live coals the carcasses of scores of sheep and hogs were skewered with hickory sticks and laid across the pits to roast. Near the pits were other fires for the making of the ''burgoo." Fifty men were engaged in pre- pairing the feast and setting the tables, which were five hundred feet long. Gus Janvert superintended the burgoo, while the veteran Jack Hostetter attended to the barbecuing. In the center of the park platform was erected for speech mak- ing purposes and was surrounded by benches for the thousands of listeners. Colonel w.. c. Breckenridge was called to the chair and made some introductory re- marks, describing the origin of the Kentucky barbecue and introducing the speakers who had come with the Democrats here to coun- sel on the opening of the canvass. General William Preston welcomed the guests and gave humorous sketch of his military ca reer. He paid high tribute to the Demo cratic party and the newly elected stan dard bearers. He introducedDHon Durbin Ward, of Ohio, who made a liberal speech. He thought if Thurman could have been nominated Ohio would have been carried. As it is the result is uncertain. He did not like the Democratic platform. It was not strict enough on the free trade plank. He pre- ferred Carlisle for President and Carlisles sentiments on the tariff for public purposes only.

 Dr. Linds1ey thought as matter of eau ton in case of cholera appearing in New Haven nurse should be secured and place found where tent could at once be erected for the reception of such cases. It was merely preeautionarymeasure,a and although no occasion might arise where it would be needed, yet it was best to be prepared for such an emergency if it should arise
 Clerk Whedon thought the upper end of Gofe street on the hill would be the best place for cholera hospital tent if one should be needed.
 Professor Brewer and Dr. Lindsley thought the tent should be located nearer the aims house as they would then have better care and supplies.
 The matter was referred to Health Officer Lindsley, giving him power as he thought best

THE ESTIMATES FOR IRELAND. A Stormy Discussion i'm the House of
 Commons.

LONDON, July 29.-In the House of Com mons tonight six hours were consumed in the discussion of the adjourned Irish esti- mates. The Parnellites fought each item tooth and nail. MT. Sexton denounced the crown prosecutor, MT. Bolton, as forger and bankrupt and moved to disallow the amount of his salary. Messrs. Labouchere, T. P. O'Connor and T. D. Sullivan supported the motion. MT. Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, promised to take legal advice as to the propriety of withholding MT. Bolton's compensation. Bolton is one of those impli- cated in the infamous practices lately shown by MT. O'Brien to be carried on by certain government officials in Dublin. In the fur ther consideration of the estimates Mir. O'Con- nor moved to disallow the salary of MT. John Nash, solicitor general for Ireland, but this rejected by a vote of 136 to 29. The entire session was stormy and excited, the chairman rising almost incessant- ly in vain attempts to preserve order. The estimates were finally adjourned again, the consideration not having been completed.
