Spot Where Pemberton Surrendered to
Grant Correctly Marked9
CINCINNATI, May 29.-The CONNER
cial Gazette received the following
special from Vicksburg, Miss, Tuesday
night:
Yesterday was the opening day of the
Blue and Gray reunion, but nothing of
interest was on the program on account
Of rain. To-day Governor Vance, of
Mississippi, arrived and delivered an
address of welcome. There are now
over 5000 ex-soldiers here, the pre-
ponderance being x-Confederates, but
Illinois, Missouri and Ohio are well rep
resented on the Federal side. The old
lines of the forts around the city for
twelve miles have been located, and the
positions of the batteries marked with
flags, The day has been spent in excur-
sions over the battlefield, and speeches
at the pavilion by Congressman Chase
Hooker, of Mississippi; Col. Grover, of
Pennsylvania; E. T. Lee, of Illinois, and
others.
Tomorrow an interesting program is
laid out, and several thousand more are
expected.
Thursday there will be an excursion
by rail to Port Gibson and Champion
Hill, old battlefelds, where an old style
barbecue will be prepared.
In the procession to-day was an old
gray-headed man in his gray uniform
that had been kept, all tattered and
torn, twenty-five years. Arm in arm
with him marched q tattered Boy in
Blue. AS they passed the cheers were
deafening
The big day will be Decoration Day,
and both the Confederate and National
cemeteries will be decorated, the former
with flowers, the latter with regulation
flags, There is one grave in the Ma
tional cemetery which our Red Cross
society has asked to be excepted from
the rule of nothing but flags That is
the grave of Lieut.. w. H. Benners, who
died of yellow fever here in 1873, while
on the United States relief expedition.
This request was granted.
A curious point arises to-day about
the famous spot where Pemberton sur.
rendered Vicksburg to Gen. Grant on
July 3, 1863. A cannon monument now
marks spot which Col. Pierson and
Capt. William Kenney, of the Third
Louisiana, are certain is incorrect. Col.
Pierson states that he and Capt. Kenney
saw the interview, which was carried on
in an undertone, and at the conclusion

A FIRsT-cLAss RASCAL.
A Painstaking But Fruitless Scheme to
Defraud an Insurance Company.

Defraud an Insurance Company.
RALEIGH, N. G., May 29.-Twelve
months ago James Dillon, we'll known
citizen of Tirrell, insured his life for
81, 900 in the Connecticut Mutual Life
Insurance company.
Some time after he fell from boat
half a mile from shore and yelled loudly
for help to man a quarter of a mile
away. When the man responded Dillon
could not be seen. The man whose as
sistance he had asked supposed he was
drowned, and was perfectly willing to
swear to it, Notice of Dillon's death
was sent to the company, 1t refused to
pay the insurance.
: Action was brought by Dillon's wife,
and the case stood for trial at the court
last week. The widow alleged that he
was drowned. Ten days ago body was
found near the place where he had been
seen to sink in the water. The body was
identified by twenty-five people as that
of Dillon,
Last Friday to the surprise Of every
one Dillon himself returned safe and
sound to Columbia. He says he swan
ashore the day he overturned the boat,
put his hat in it and left the boat half
full of wateE He determined to hide
in the woods 80 as his wife could get
the insurance money.
He kept in the great swanps for five
months, when he found the body of a
drowned man floating in the Alligator
river. He removed the hair from the
head to make it bald, and taking his
own hair and whiskers put them in
the decomposing flesh Of the corpse.
He knocked out two of the front teeth
of the dead, and, removing the clothing
from the corpse, dressed it in clothes he
had worn on the day of his disappear
ance At night he conveyed the body
to the place where he was supposed to
have been drowned.
Subsequently hearing of the non-suit,
he thought it put an end to his claim,
and that there was no hope of collecting
the money, and so he returned home,

The London Posts Suggestion Concerning
the Newfoundland Dispute.
LONDON, May 29.--The Post, reflect
ing in its utterances the general views
which the action of the Newfoundland
legislature in addressing itself defiantly
to the queen has provoked, gravely
makes the suggestion that the govern
ment settle the fisheries dispute by ced-
ing Newfoundland to France and grant
ing in addition pecuniary compensation.
Such proceedings could not fail to set
tie the dispute as far as France is con-
cerned, and to settle the Newfoundland
ers as we'll It is more than likely that
the government will reply to the address
of the Newfoundland parliament by in
sisting upon the compliance Of that col
ony with the terms Of England's agree
ment with France in default Of which
measures will be taken.

MOUNT JUNeFRAu.
A Railroad to BE Constructed to Its
Summit.

Summit.
LONDON, May 20,--The application
made last fall to the Swiss Federal
council by M. Koechlin, the assistant of
Eiffel in the erection of the Eiffel tower,
for authority to construct railway to
the summit of Mount Jungfrau, in the
Swiss Alps, has finally been acted upon.
The idea of constructing such a railway
has long been subject of spasmodic
consideration by the Swiss authorities,
and there were several applicants for
the position of chief constructor and
controller of the undertaking besides M.
Koechlin.
Although some eight months have
elapsed since the application was made,
the decision of the council was reached
in about as short time as Swiss official
conclusions are usually arrived at.
The summit of Mount Jungfrau is up
ward of $4,000 feet above the starting
point Of the proposed railway. Ii may
be seen that the venture Is beset with
difficulties from the beginning Of the

As yet no attempt to fill the places Of
