A railing encirclcs the bell on the posts of which are eleven small imitation bells; the other end of tLe car is the office quarters ofthe three stalwart police guards. Over the be.l is printed "1776 Proclaim Liberty Philadelphia-New Orleans"-then comes a hand -claspiDg. The car is No. 5S44, from the Pennsylyan. ia Central railroad. Jefferson Da. wis was invited by committee of United States Commissioners from Pennsylvania, Kansas, Dakota, Maryland, Louisiana, to join in the reception ceremonies, which was accepted. Hon. Frank Bacon made speech which was responded to by MT. Davis. The ceremonies were very imposing and pleasant.
