PROCTOR'S REMAINS.
Preparations For the runersl-His Family
Coming

Preparations For the Tunersl-His Family
Coming
NEW YORK, September 13.-The body
Of Prof. Richard A. Proctor was removed
this forenoon from the hospital where be
died to North Brothers Island. There il
was laid in an isolated deathouse, special.
ly provided for such purpose, and there IL
will be kept until sdgices have been re-
ceived from the family in Florida or abroad
as to their desires in the matter Of inter
ment. 1t is probable that one member OF
the family is on the way to this city, but
no telegram to that effect had been recsiv-
ed mp to noon to-day. The body was re-
moved. 1t wss sealed in metallic cofin,
that will not again be opened. This is ac-
cording to sanitary laws, which also pro-
hibit public or church funerals OF yellow
fever dead.
1t was decided to-dsy that in view of the
characteristic symptom of black vomit in
Prof Proctor's case no autopsy was neces-
slry. Now that the worst ia known there
is neither apprehension nor excitement at
sanitary headquarters. Everything has
been done that need be, and the health
authorities anticipate no danger from this
case. The only possible peril is from the
daily arrival of refugees from Florida and
in the chance Of some enc OF them lying
i'll with the fever, unsupported until the
contagiou hss had time 10 work.
A dispatch was received at sanitary
headquarters to-day from Florida ststing
that Prof Protor's wife and family had
started for this city. They will arrive TO-
morrow. 1t is probable that the inter
ment will be in Greenwood cemetery.

COLUMBUS, o., September 17.-Many OF
the old veterans who have been attending
the Grand Army Eacampment have re
turned to their homes, but many more
have come in to take their places. The
Ohio Centennial and fine exhibit Of Cali
fornia productions, attract somewhat from
the numerous reunions, but the veterans
themselves seem TO prefer to go together
and live over in story the years they spent
together in the perilous times OF the war.
Old stories are repeated, and yet they seem
never to become tiresome. Old leaders
are praised, and those of them
who are here are called upon
hourly by hundreds and thousands Of
those who formerly followed them to
battle. The numerous reunions OF yester-
day have been contiuued to day, as also
have the secret meetings of the organiza-
tions here represented. Among the re-
unions that of the Tbirty-second Ohio is
notable for the attendapcs of 800 members,
the largest reunion ever held by that regi-
ment.
At q meeting of the Ohio Womsn's Rs-
lief Corps at headquarters this morning,
Mrs. Belle E. Bagley, the Post Department
President, wss presented with "a beautiful
W. Z. C. badge in solid gold, with dia-
mopd settings The bands and drum
corps 10 attendance at the encsmpment
are numbered by the hundred, and besides
the excellent music furnished by them the
Columbus male chorus Of 300 voices has
been doing excellsntly at the various
camp fires.
Topeka, Kas., sent the Modoc Glee
Club, whose music has already been en-
joyed.
This morning, when the G. A. r, en-
csmpment was called to order, large and
beautiful floral G A. r badge WAS pre-
septed by the Ohio State Journal. The
badges worn by the different States in
many cases are unique. Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Florida, Massachusetts,, Maine,
Kentucky and Texas vie with each other
in this particular.
At the National Encampment this morn
ing, the election of Commander-in.Ch Chief
was in order. After the nominations were
made VIM. Warner. of Missouri, was elect

stated that he bad received some time ago
an invitation to attend the encampment,
but that it had been mislaid by his SEC
retary and he therefore used the wire to
express his regrets for non-sttendance.
The reading Of the telegram was received
with misses and other evidences Of disap-
proyal. General Louis Wagner, Of Phila-
delphia, then asked the question whether
the Commander-in.C Chief or his Adjutant
General had either forwarded or authorized
the sending OF the invitation On hsd knowl-
edge of its being sent There was breath
lees silence awaiting an answer to the in
terrogstory, and when 1t came clear cut
and promptly that neither one had any
knowledge whatever or the sending or ex-
istence Of an invitation there was wild and
deafening applause.
