Campbell Concludes 1t VIII be Harder to
Defeat Foraker.
NEW YORK, September 6.-Among the
arrivals at the Fifth Avenue Hotel was ex-
Congressman James E. Campbell, of Ham,
ilton, O., who has been nominated by the
Democrats of that State to run against Gov
ernor Foraker this fall. In conversation
Mr.. Campbell seemed to be pretty
sanguine of success, but it was notice
able that his standard of confidence
has been materially lowered since he visited
this city few weeks before his nomination.
Then he already had the present Governor
beaten-in his mind. 1t was a sort of holi-
day task, almost too small for man of his
Herculean political strength to be put at
But yesterday Mr.. Campbell was in much
more serious mood.
1t is reported. although Mr.. Campbell was
by no means inclined to admit it, that the
object of his visit here is to interest some
rich and liberal New York Democrats in
his canvass particularly the liquor men of
the party who may be able to see in Camp
BELLS success lift for Hills Presidential
boom. For his present purposes Mr. Camp
bell may be willing to concede Hills claims
to the first place on the ticket of 1892, pro-
vided the Ohio Democratic campaign treas
ury receives some solid assistance from the
New York liquor interest.
Governor Foraker will open his canvass
at Xenia tomorrow evening, while Mr..
Campbell will start in at Batavia on Mon
day. There will be no joint discussions.

that officer decided that each was entitled to a

are precisely the same as in the latter, the de-
cision covers both cases.
A further appropriation of $500 will there
fore be necessary TO complete the patriotic
work inaugurated by the act Of June 10 1851
A MAGNIFICENT MEMORIAL.
The leaders among the Reserves have not
abandoned their project of erecting a
memorial hall on Little Round Top, though
they failed to have any OF the monumental
appropriation set aside for that purpose. In
carrying out their enterprise they look to
Pittsburg for solid assistance. General s.
Wylie Crawford. who commanded the Re-
serves, owns the land on which the proposed
building would be placed. and it is said
there is plenty of native granite that could
be used in such a structure. Andrew Car
negie, of Pittsburg, has offered to contribute
the iron. Another Pittsburg firm the glass,
and then there is proposition TO persuade the
next Legislature to appropriate the balance
of the money needed, or in case of failure in
that direction to raise the sum by private
subscription.
Next in point of interest to seeing the
field itself, is the presentation of its most
conspicuous features by THE DISPATCH
this morning.

even the outline Of the figures before him.
Before approaching kraal . halt was made,
and one of the Fingoes went on ahead to SEQ
if the fires were out and all natives inside
their huts. Several times, although all the
human beings were asleep, the scout re-
turned saying they could not pass through
the kraal, for the dogs had scented him and
growled fercely, and would set up such .
barking when the party passed as to bring
all the village out to see what was the
matter.
Then long detours that were difieult
enough through the thick bush in daylight,
but at night were almost impossible, had to
be made. Each time that this had to be
done, Kreta lifted Mary Armstrong and
carried her, and she had now become 20 ex-
hausted that she was unable even to protest.
Ronald would have carried her himself but
he felt that it would be worse than useless
to attempt to do so; though uneneumbered
he had the greatest difficulty in making his
way through the bushes; he scratched and
tore his flesh terribly, but the chief seemed
to be possessed of the eyes Of bat, and
glided through them, scarcely moving
twig as he passed. After going on for up
ward OF three hours the chief stopped.
''It will be getting light soon; we must
hide her now; cannot get further until to-
morrow night"
Although Ronald Meryyn. struggling
along in the darkness, had not noticed it,
the party had for the last hour turned of
from the line that they had before been fol-
lowing. They stopped by little stream,
running down the valley. here native re-

had mighty host of her bravest sons to
fight for the sanctity of her soil and for the
preservation of the Union. Now but a
skeleton of that army remains; but, as full
of spirit as ever, the veterans will assemble
on Tuesday and Wednesday next to partici-
pate in the honors showered upon those of
their comrades who yielded their lives that
the nation might live.
1t will, in all human probability, be the
last time in this world that the survivors Of
the Pennsylvania regiments will meet to-
gether as regiments, and this fact, con-
spicuous to everyone, will lend additional
interest to an event which is, inherently,
OF IMPRESSIVE SIGNIFICANCE.
The old martial sounds will again ring
out, and the boys Will again listen, though
not so submissively to the reveille and taps
which in other days were heard to be
obeyed.
Eighty-three monuments will be dedi-
cated-thanks to the States appropriation

than would be possible to supply in words.
They were made from exact photographs
taken on the field, and are in every respect
true presentations of the originals.
All the regiments have prepared pro-
grammes of exercises, which have been
forwarded to Secretary Nicholson, in Phil
adelphla. In most cases the ceremonies
will be simple. there being so much to be
done in very short time. In each case
some comrade will deliver an historical ad-
dress, General Pearson acting in that
capacity for the One Hundred and Fifty

CHAPTER xIII.-rHE RESCUE.


Ronald, with Kreta and two of his men,
now crept down to the very edge of the
bushes at spot they could command view
OF the entrance to the hut. For long time
female figures came in and went out, and it
was not until long past midnight that they
saw the last female figure disappear inside
and the skin drawn across the entrance.
How long shall we give them, Kreta?''
I'm an hour Kreta will 60 on, the chief
said. "but better give two hours for all to be
fast asleeep."
In about an hour Ronald, who had been
half lying on the ground with his head on
his hands, looked round and found that the
chief had stolen away. He sat up and
watched the hut intentlv. The fires were
burning low now, although many of the
Kafirs were sitting round them; but there
was still light enough for him, looking in
tently, to have seen figure moving along.
Once or twice he fancied he saw dark
shadow on the ground close to the hut, but
he was not sure, and was still gazing in
tently when there was touch on his shouI-
der, and looking round he saw the chief be-
side him.
'Two women watch, +" he said, "others all
quiet. Give little time longer to make
sure that all are asleep, then we go on"
1t seemed. to Ronald fully two hours, al
though it was less than one, before Kreta
again touched him.
''Time to go, incos," he said. ''You 90
down with me to the hut, but not quite
close. Kreta bring girl to you. You better
not go. Kreta walk more quietly than white
man.
Ronald gave his consent, though re-
luctantly, but he felt that it was right that
the Fingo, who was risking his life for his
sake, should carry out his plans in his own
way. Kreta ordered one Of his men to re-
join his companions, and with the others
advanced toward the village.
When within forty yards of the hut he
touched Ronald and whispered to him to

would be idle to attempt an estimate of the
number of outsiders who will witness the
ceremonies; but it is safe enough to conclude
that it will be a multitude greater in num-
Der than the old town has witnessed since
Lee and his legions swooped down upon it.

AIDED BY STATE COMMISSION.
All of these regiments have distinct asso-
Citations, and, in cooperation with the Bat
tle6eld Commission, they have erected SO
monuments. This commission was consti-
tuted under an act of the Legislature
approved June 10, 1887. The members of
this commission appointed by the Governor
are: General John P. Taylor, President,
Reedsville, Mif3in county; Major Samuel
Harper, Secretary, Pittsburg: General j, P.
S. Goblin, Lebanon; Colonel John P.
Nicholson, Philadelphia; Colonel r. B,
Ricketts,, Wilkesbarre.
These commissioners have had submitted
to them for approval the plans and designs
of all monuments TO be erected under the
act An appropriation was made bv the
Legislature allowing 81, 500 for each mopu-
ment. These magnificent memorials virtu-
ally mark the death place of the bulk of
Pennsylyania's soldiers who fell at Gettys.

The second most notable period in the his
tory OF Gettysburg will occur next week in
the celebration of Pennsylvania Day on the
field where the troops of the State we're so
potent in turning back the advancing tide
of rebellion in the most critical battle of the
war. 1t was the turning point of the war,
and the slightest wavering then would have
been extremely likely to have given the re-
suit of the conflict very different complex
ion from that which it assumed at Apo
mattox.

An almost incredible accident occurred
at the corner of Washington avenue and
Evans alley, Manchester, yesterday after
noon. a small boy named Hall was carry
ing a gallon OF carbon oil along the street,
and another urchin named Webster, it was
said, applied match to the spout of the
can. The result was an explosion, but both
boys escaped with slight burns.

tents in the G. A. R. camp on East Gene

wall tents and 10 hospital tents will consti-
tute the camp in which the 5000 Grand
Army men will be quartered. The camp
was commenced Thursday afternoon and
finished yesterday. A large number of other
tents will be issued to regimental associa-
tions and put on different parts OF the battle
field. Posts Nos. and 81, of Philadelphia,
have sent advance details here to prepare
quarters. The stand in the National Gem
etery for the Pennsylvania exercises is up
and will have $50 chairs. The demand for
quarters in the town is great.

The people residing on the Steu benville

occurred in that neighborhood recently.
About two weeks ago Michael Riddler's
barn, with all its contents and several
horses, was burned, and last Sunday morn
ing fire was discovered in grocery store in
Joseph McIntyre's house, but was put out
before gaining much headway. Both fires,
it is claimed, were caused by ineendiaries

as it specifically appropriates Sl,500 for each

Mr.. Bayard's Wedding
Postponed.

Ex-Secretary Bayard's marriage to
Miss Clymer was to have taken place
last Wednesday at St. Johns Church,
washington. 1t has, however, been
known among their friends for several
weeks that their wedding would not
be solemnized until the early fall.
Mr.. Bayard began upon his return to
Wilmington some extensive alterations
upon his residence, adding library
and several rooms for his daughters,
which they will have furnished in
Keeping with their own taste. Imme-
diately after his engagement was an
nounced, Mr.. Bayard thought there
was nothing to postpone his happiness
single day, but the social Importance
OF the wedding, of which he had
thought so little, was uppermest in the
thoughts of his large circle of friends,
and he found it simply impossible for
an ex-Secretary of State to get mar
ried in a simple and unostentatious
style. His marriage in the early fall
will brilliantly open the wedding sea-
son, which always precedes the official
gayeties.
Mrs. and Miss Clymer will make a
visit next month to the Misses Bayard,
in Wilmington, before starting on their
summer travels Tho vouDor Iod;os
and their future stepmother, have
always been warm friends and frequent
visitors at each others homes. Next
winter they will spend much of the
gay season in Washington, the guests
of Mrs. Senator Hearst, at her new
home on New Hampshire Avenue.
