this erroneous statement: During the action

ITO be continued
Memorial Day Mt AndersouyiIle.

The first Memorial exercises ever held at An
Jacksonville, Ca took place on May 3d. Com
rade W. F. Morse, of Macon, Ga. sends us an
interesting account of the ceremonies, which
were in charge of E. J. Jones Post No. 5,
GAR Department of Georgia, assisted by
delegations from Post No. 8. of Augusta, Ca,
and Kit Carson Post, of Washington, d. G.
Flowers were used in profusion on the graves
of the noble dead. The exercises were OPEN
ed by an address by the Commander of Jones
Post, followed by an invocation by the Chap
lain, when a short address was made by w. w.
De Haven Comrade w. w. Brown then de-
livered the Memorial address, which was lis
tened to with great interest by the crowd in
attendance The ceremonies were of great
solemnity, impressing everybody present.
Comrade Morse also says in his communica-
ton: By all means let the men of Jones Post
carry the thing ON another season in stronger
way. This was fairly good first trial but,
as they have only 16 men in the Post, they
can't do much. / saw the ground where the
stockade was. It is grown up with brush. ex-
cept portion of cleared and cultivated land.
The Providence Spring still runs, aud small
part of the stockade is still to be seen. The
cemetery is in fine condition, but the Govern
ment ought to have better accommodations at
the station aud on the grounds. / have made
many visits to Posts down here and interview

some items if can get time to write"

SEATTLE IN RUINS.
The Principal City of Washington Territory
Burned.

Burned.
On Friday last the city of Seattle, Wn T..
was almost obliterated by an extensive confa-
grafton. But one Of the large business houses
III the city was saved The first thought of
many of the citizens was to save their indi-
vidual possessions, and consequently the streets
were soon blocked with teams loaded with
valuables, which were seeking places of safety
outside the corporation limits.
Hundreds OF men were at work clearing out
the many business buildings of their contents
and loading them into wagons, in many in
stances procured at enormous prices and send
ing them through choked thoroughfares. No
adequate description can be made of a scene
in which eYerybod was excited and many
frenzied. The loss is now conceded by the
most conservative not to be less than $IS 900,
600. Port Townsend and Olympia firemen ar
rived before midnight, but too late to do any
work.
From the initial point fire spread north and
south q distance of one mile. Every news
paper, hotel, telegraph office, railroad depot
and wharf in the city was totally destroyed.
The entire water front, including all Wharves
and docks, coal bunkers, and railway tracks,
the wholesale quarter, and everything south
of Union street and west of Second street, and
reaching around TO the gas works and above
Fourth street on jackson, was completely burn
ed. There is great privation felt among the
poor classes, as nearly every restaurant and
grocery in the city was consumed by the fire.
The burned district comprises Ga acres. II
presents the aspect of huge oven of burning
Goals and threatens even further destruction.
| The firemen, reinforced by Tacoma and Sno.
| homish, are on the alert The streets are
crowded with people wandering about penni
| less and homeless. The militia and extra
police are to be seen on every corner guarding
the property against thieves and yandals. One
| hundred arrests have been made.
Gov. Moore has issued a proclamation, in
which he says: The city of Seattle is i'll ashes
A hurricane of fire swept over the squeenly
city, and she is in ruins Thousands of hel
citizens are without food or shelter. Neithel
can subdue the spirit of her people.
She will rise again in her desolation. She
is not supplicant but there are homeless PEG

| sponded to the cry of distress from Johnstown
to heed this appeal for aid for their own suffer

People who believe in the law of periodcit,
will have plenty of arguments to bear upol
their favorite theory, when contemplating tn
Johnstown horror in connection with the burn

This is an elegant as well as valuable his
torical production. 1t is large-sized sheet
of heavy paper, embellished with brilliantly
colored representations of all the flags used
by the Colonies in the Revolutionary and
prior wars They show how the Star
Spangled Banner was finally evolved out of
these. There is also on the chart pictures
of the old Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia, and the residence of the lady who
made the first Star Spangled Banner In
the center Of the chart is q great white
star, with the words of the Star Spangled
Banner" printed on its face Around it are
pictorial reproductions of the various en-
blems which it was proposed to put on the
flag. The whole is an admirable ornament
for the Post room, or q parlor or sitting

This has heretofore not been sold any
where for less than 80 cents, and those who
have paid that for it have pronounced it
well worth the money.
