ly's boyish face was bright with pleasure.
His name was Holroyd, an odd old family
name, which had been handed down from
father to son for many years and abbre-
waited to Holly in the nursery. His frank,
honest face bore wonderful resemblance
to a pictured face which hung in its frame
over the invalid's couch, and her eyes
lighted up with pleasure as she looked in
the blue eyes, so like his fathers, with
motherly pride.

erect, with snowy hair and keen eyes, and
as he drew near he fixed his gaze on Holly
with an eager look which drank in every

There was no need to establish the child's
identity for every feature proclaimed it,
and the old mans eyes filled with tears as

to use the pictures in the rotunda of the

Growth of the Order.
COLUMBUS, Semptember 12.-The Ma
tional Encampment, proper, began this
morning. The Grand Army, Woman's g
Relief Corps. Army of West Virginia, Ma
val Veterans, Division, Brigade and Reg
mental Associations met in various parts
of the city with closed doors.
In the course of his annual address
Commander-in.C Chief Rea says: "March
81, 1887, the total membership of our
order in good standing was 1896 !;
March 81, 1888, it was 354 ,2l6, making a
net gain of 80, ,280. The reports show that
on June 80, 1888. there were 395 ,245
comrades borne on the rolls, to which may
safely be added a sufficient
number out on transfer cards, to swell
the grand total to 100000 After speak
ing at some length of the future growth
of the order, he denounces the use of the
Grand Army badge for political effect,
endorses the legislation proposed by the
last encampment which failed to pass in
Congress, and expresses a desire for
further action in the same line. Two
hundred and fifteen thousand nine hun
dred and seventy-fve dollars was ex-
pended. He speaks touchingly of the
death of General Sheridan. Other ma
tional officers also submitted reports.
After the address of the Commander
in Chief, Adjutant- General Rusk, of
Minneapolis, read his report. Judge
Advocate General Veasey then sub
mitted his report. Comrade John F.
Taylor, of Philadelphia, then made his
report. His financial statement shows a
balance on hand of $14,225.24; the con-
tributions to the Grant monument fund
amount to SO, ,42S.49.
An important report, that of the Com
mittee on Pensions, was submitted to TIE
National Encampment this afternoon.
The Committee, which was represented
by Chairman Geo. S. Merrill. recites it's
action in regard to National pension
legislation, and communicates it's sue
cesses and reverses. The report is very
bitter in speaking of the DISABILITY
bill"
Milwaukee was chosen as the place for
holding the next encampment. In the
afternoon the Grand Army band and a
children's chorus of 1900 voices gave a
concert in front of the Capitol building.
In the evening camp fires were burning
brightly all over town. Speeches were
being made at several places and the
sound of cheers could be heard almost
constantly in different quarters of the
city.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
New YORK, September 12.-Professor
Richard A. Proctor, the astronomer and
lecturer, died tonight in the Willard
Parker Hospital, of yellow fever. He
had been in the hospital since Tuesday
but as late as nightfall to-day the health
authorities were reluctant to admit the
true character of his ailment. The Pro-
fessor's death, however, was preceded by
the characteristic black vomit, which set
all doubts at rest. Professor Proc
tor arrived in this city on Monday,
straight from Florida by rail and put up
at the Westminster hotel on East Six
teenth street. He had spent the sum-
mer at his place, called Oak Lawn,
Marion county, Fla, and was not known
to have been exposed to the disease.
There had been no cases in Marion
county. He was en- route for England
where he was to lecture this fall and
winter and had left his wife and certain
members of his family in Florida. He
had engaged passage by the Umbria
for Saturday. Yesterday he COM
planned of feeling unwell and
it soon became apparent that the
Professor was very sick, and health
officer was called in. He had jaun-
diced appearace and his recent arrival
from Florida made the case suspicious.
He was remomoved to:theiWillard Parker
Hospital last night where everything
possible was done for him. This morning
a relapse set in and the trouble WasEcom-
plicated by the appearance of symptoms
of Bright's disease. At is p. NJ. death
occurred, preceded by slight convulsions
and the black vomit of yellow fever.

THE WESTERN ROADS
ReOrganiZed into the Western
Freight Association.

CHICAGO, September 12.-At meet
ing of the managers of the Western
roads yesterday to consider and ratify
the proposed agreement for the govern
ment of freight traffic, there were twen-
ty-one roads represented. The PROPOSE
ton to embrace the Western, Northwest
ern and Southwestern lines in one asso-
citation failed. 1t was then moved to
unite the Western and Southwestern
roads, provided similar organization
under the same agreement should be
formed by the Northwestern and interior
lines. This was unanimously adopted
without the provision regarding the
Northwestern roads, however. The plan
was opposed by several of the managers,
notably President Miller, of the st. Paul
road, who declined to become party to
an agreement on Southwestern traffic
until there should be reorganization Of
the Northwestern lines. A committee
representing the Northwestern roads was
appointed to consider this question, and
late in the afternoon the committee re-
ported to the general meeting that the
roads were ready to organize. The
meeting adjourned until to-day.
The General Managers Of the Western
roads to-day succeeded in reorganizing
the Western, Northwestern and South
western roads under the general name of
the Western Freight Association. One
form of the agreement applies to the
whole of this territory, but the Associa-
ton was divided into three sections, j..
w. Midgely being elected chairman OF
the Southwestern division and j. w:
Father chairman of the Western and
Northwestern. On all matters affecting
two or more divisions the two chairmen
are to act jointly, and they are also to ex.

and Pacific Coast business. The South

IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Railroad Projected Through
Mexican Mining Districts.

LAREDO. Tex, September 12.-Samuel
Lederer, Vice President of the st. Louis
and Zacatecas Smelling and Refining
Company, left yesterday to complete ar
rangements in London for the construc-
ton of the Sierra Majada railroad. This
line will run from the coal fields of San
Felipe, in the State of Coahuila, to the
Sierra Majada mines, and thence to a
connection with the Mexican Central at
Jaminez, in the State of Coahuila. It
will be nearly four hundred miles in
length, connecting the Mexican National,
Mexican International and Mexican Cen
tral by an east and west line, passing
through the Coahuila coal fields, the La
guna cotton belt and the famous Sierra
Majada mining district. The present ore
output from the Sierra Majada mines is
over 10000 tons per day, which can be
trebled with railroad facilities.
