crack military organlzation-to such
trophies as were most suggestive Of
the past. Illinois led the van, proudly
bearing alott the headquarters flag used
to mark Sir Thomas headquarters at the
battle Of Chickamauga. Wisconsin car

pole. Pennsylvania carried twenty.four
old battle flags, which drew out constant
applause from the spectators. In the
Ohio department, was an enormous cop

name Of the 'wet" department.. The
most noticeable features of the New YORK
CONTINGENT were the remarkable evolu-
tions of the drum corps-shapiug itself
by turns into a cross, anchor. or star.
Connecticut had one post dressed up as
Continental soldiers. Also. had NAM
moth wooden nutmeg swung from pole.
New Jersey had display of mosquitoes
of heroic proportions. The Maine men,
two thousand strong, had each sprig Of
pine tree in his hat. They had an old
horse-captured from the rebels at the
battle of Cedar Creek, Oct. 10, 1854.
The department of the Potomac had a
color guard of nine men, each of whom
had lost an arm. These lines having
passed away, we fell into line just as the
Minnesota department was called into
the marching column. Henceforth we
saw the other side-the crowd. If the
military display was immense-the spec.
tacle of half q million faces was greater
Every available spot from curb stone
to the highest roof was densely packed.
Along Washington street (the main street
of the city, the display of decorations
was magnificent. The Minnesota DO, 8
carried = gopher, which the street gamins
persisted in calling cat. The Boston
Post came out the next day and said:
"Minnesota carried the unique emblem
of stuffed rat" The New England in
tellect has something to learn yet in nat
ural history. Near the last reviewing
stand where Commander-in-C Chief Alger
was seated, hung above the street large
painting of General Grant riding horse
back. Beneath was the motto: I'VE
shall meet again." One of the special
objects of interest was the fine display at
the Public Gardens of the "a corps
badges in flowers. Did not stop to study
out the method. but the delinestion of
the figures was perfect.

BURGL ARIES AND ARSON.
Four Cases Of Burglary and Attempts
in the Past Tweaty-fcur
Hours.
Col McCutcheon'e House Robbed
and Fired--Burglar in q
Bridal Chamber.
Two Business Houses Broken Into, Goods
Stolen and Three Of tho Thieves
Arrested,

So common have burglaries become in
Helena Of late that the average person ex-
poets every day to hear of them, and the
past twenty-four hours have brought to
light four cases, the latest being one of
robbery and arson. Three thieves are now
in Jail.
Col. l. D. McClutcheon's residence, on
Warren street, next door to the Grandon
block was robbed and set afire last night.
About II o'clock Frank E. Beck noticed
smoke issuing from the house and sent in
an alarm from box SO, at the corner of Main
street and Sixth avenue, but for some rea-
son the alarm did not repeat itself the usual
four times. The fremen were promptly on
hand, however. No fame was visible at the
house, but quite volume of smoke was is-
suing from the top of the building. The
front door was forced in and go thick was
the smoke inside that it was with difficulty

but little chance to spread, and the air
was unusually still. The iremen soon
flooded the blaze and all the windows we're
thrown open. Mr.. and Mrs. McCutcheon
were just coming from the theatre when
the fire broke out, and Mr.. McCutcheon felt
there was not lamp or stove burning in
the place. Before going to the theater Mrs.
McCutcheon wanted to start a fire in the
kitchen stove to heat some water, but Mr..
Nc told her not to think of going out and
leaving fire in the house.
Special Officer Green had been investi-
eating matters while the frelnen were at
work and discovered that a wire screen
window on the side of the house leading to
the cellar had been forced open, and case
of robbery and arson at once suggested itself.
As soon as possible further investigation
was made up stairs ana it was found that
all of Mrs. McCutcheon's trunks had been
broken into and their valuable contents
taken. The contents of the trunk
were promiscuously scattered on the
floor, the bureau drawers were pulled out
and what was14't stolen was damaged by fire.
The fire was evidently started in closet
where portion of Mrs McCutcheon's ward
robe hung and whether the place was pur-
posely or accidentally set on fire will prob
ably never be known.
Investigation for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what was stolen was postponed I'M
til this morning, as every thing about the
place was filled with water. A Waterman
was in charge of the house last night.
