At wanamaker's Home.

JENKINTOwN, Pa, Sept. 5.-The Presi-
dents return trip. to the Postmaster gem
erals country house, at this place, this
afternoon. was accomplished without
special incident. The same great crowds
that had assembled to do him honor on his
morning journey were gathered along the
roadside and in the villages through which
he passed. and even greater enthusiasm
was manifested. The thousands of vehicles
which had gone backward and forward
over the old York road, had ground the
surface of that highway into a fine powder,
which lay almost ankle deep. and
when the President alighted at
Mr.. Wanamaker's house, his black
broadcloth suit and silk hat, as we'll
as the clothes of the entire party, were
thickly coated with dust. The Presidents
appearance indicated plainly that the ex-
citement of the day had fatigued him some
what.
This evening few friends of the Presi-
dent sat down to an informal dinner with
him, the party being the guests of Mr..
Wanamaker. Among those present were
Mm. Walter Phelps. George w. Childs Col.
Elliott +. Shepard, Governor Beaver,
Thomas Dolan and several others. The
President will remain over night here and
will leave Philadelphia at Ills tomorrow
morning for Washington.

Full of Historic Interest.

Log COLLEGE GROUNDS. Pa, Sept. s.
The road traversed by President Harrison
to-day is full of historic interest. 1t is
crossed few miles above BinghamtOn by
the road down which Lord Howe retreated
after his vain assault upon the intrench-
ments of General Washington, at White
Marsh. The road itself was laid out by
William Penn in 1895, few years after he
had landed on the banks of the Delaware.
Just after leaving the village of Hatboro,
the President passed the monument erected
on the roadside to commemorate the
Crooked Billet battle of 177S, in which Gen.
John Lacey achieved distinction. About a
mile northward of the scene of tO-days cele-
bration is the Neshaminy Presbyterian
Church, of which William Tennent was
pastor during the time he was conducting
the Log College. The grave of Tennent is
In the graveyard attached to this church.
and here also, are buried the remains of
John Scott, an ancestor of Mrs. Harrison,
and once the owner of much land in the
neighborhood, including, it is said. the
land on which the Log College stood.
These graves were decorated with flowers
to-day. as was also the old church. 1t was
at Neshaminy, also, that Lafayette reported
for duty to Washington. Valley Forge is
near there, and, in fact the whole country
hereabouts is dotted with placesmentioned
IN revolutionary history.
