the largest and best musical organiza
ton.
The old Keystone State covered her
self with glory in the imposing char
acter of her military display. Sixteen
full regiments and eight other large
organizations made up Pennsylvania
contribution to the great parade.
A noticeable difference between the
Northern and Southern troops was
visible. The former were far more
numerous the latter made up q good
deal in 'shine.'
Gems James A. Beaver, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia,
called forth the greatest ovations.
Four battalions of 'Regulars' did
almost faultless marching.

one battalion and three companies !;
Ohio one regiment and one company ;
Virginia six regiments and eleven
companies; Georgia one company /;
South Carolina one company Rhode
Island one company; Missouri one
company, and Minnesota one company.
In the above summary are included
two corps of cadets-one Washington,
the other Virginia. Also thirteen col
ored companies two from Maryland.
four from Washington and seven from
Virginia. The colored soldiers march
ed well.
The civic parade represented numer-
Gus clubs from New York, Washing
ton, Delaware, New Jersey, Illinois,
Ohio, Connecticut, Pennsylvania.
Maryland, Virginia, Maine, Missouri.
West Virginia and Kansas, numbering
in all sixty-one organizations.
Fifty-soven bands and as many
drum corps provided the music.

swaying line of musketry was con-
stantly visible from one end of the
Avenue to the other.
The pictures of Messrs. Cleveland
and Hendricks, now so numerous, If
ford a fair representation of the per-
sonelle of the distinguished gentlemen.
Both bowed to the JOURNAL, but
they probably designed it for editor
Avirett, who was unable to elect them
by voting as he wrote
More than four hundred colonies
chartered train out of ST. Louis to
the Inauguration. How humiliating
to reflect that Homecoming and Frost
burg combined contributed only two
editors Of independent papers. Hence,
the fatality of crowding out gentlemen
who could help without voting for
such as voted without helping
Messrs. G. A. Wingert, Albert Hole,
Rev. V. U. Schmitt, c. Hartman, B.
Stern, E. Wasmuth and son, Will
liam, Edward Duffy and others, of this
place, attended the Inauguration.
The JOURNAL is indebted to Rev. A
Homrighaus and wife for elegant hos
FATALITIES. This little family is delight
fully situated in the northwestern por
ton of Washington, enjoying the
prosperity desired by their numerous
friends in Frostburg.
Prof. j. E. j. Buckley is responsible
for nine-tenths of the JOURNAL this
week. Without the care of big
school on his hands he can come nearer
beating the JOURNAL in getting out the
best paper il the county than any man
in it.
The Tammany Indians and Knicker-
bockers were pleasing features Of the
parade.
One individual typifed the union of

1t was altogether and emphatically a
mingling Of "blue spirits and gray
Some who did their mmgling in the
saloons must have enjoyeda hard time
next day.
Only those who saw the great parade
and crowd can imagine how splendid
was the one and immense the other.

all over with Cleveland and Hendricks
badges and medals.
1t was a great day for plug hats
