Loyal East Tennessee.


The following correspondence from
this place appears in the latest issue of
The American Tribune, indianapolis.
Indiana:
1t is sometime since we have read
anything in the American Tribune
from this great Union section of East
Tennessee. Few people in the dis
tant northern, eastern and western
States appreciate our loyalty to the
Union principally, because of our loca-
ton. But it should be borne in mind
that this place of picturesque noun
tain country, with its fertile valleys
and its immense natural wealth, though
located in the South, was nevertheless
loyal to the Union when the great con-
flict was on. Thousands of our brave
boys, pulling back from the move of
succession, volunteered to take up
arms for the Union and there is no
section which fought more yaliantly.
Now these brave boys are organized in
the various G. A. r. posts of this sec
ton, and each year they have their re-
unions. They swell the vote of this
great section, comprising thirty-four
counties in the eastern part of the
State, which never fail to give ma
jority of twenty-five thousand in favor
of the Republican party.
A grand reunion of the old soldiers
has been arranged for and will take
place at Allentown, on June II.
There could not have been selected
more desirable location for the reunion.
tits in one of the most pleasant and
picturesque places in East Tennessee,
and is only fifteen miles from this city
on the E. T. &. w. N. G. railroad.
The reunion promises to be the
grandest for many years. Many dis
| tinguished visitors are expected. Fol-
lowing are some of the speakers chosen
for the occasion: Department Com
mander A. ]. Gahagan, Gen. J. T.
Wilder, Gen. Sam Carter, Gen. III. B.
j Case, A. A. G. Department of Tennes-
see, Col. William Rule, of the Knox
vile Journal, Col Newton Hacker, Col.
r. R. Butler, Maj. A. II. Pettibone,
Hon. A. A. Taylor, Hon. G. G. Collins,
Mrs. G. E. Hirst, National President
of Ladies of the G. A. r.
j To attend the reunion would be a
treat in many respects to northern and
western people; for few of them who
have not had the pleasure of visiting
this section have the proper concep-
ton of its wonderful beauty and
wealth. This is destined to make the
future iron producing center OF the
world. Already new railroads are be-
ing constructed in every valley and
i furnaces arc being put up. Every
mountain is full of the richest ore.
The supply is inexhaustible, no matter
how rapidly it may be developed.
The brown and red hemitite ores are
in abundance, and the magnetic ores
i just to the east of us extend to such a
depth that Gen. Wilder is reported as
saying of them that he wouldn't be
surprised if the devil is making Besse-
mer pig off of the other end
/ The G. A. r. post of this place with
Major Cantwell, commander is doing
good work. A camp of Sons of Veter-
ans was recently organized.
Comrades, come down to our reun-
ion on the 18th of June, and convince
yourselves that this is the home Of
4. loyalty, the land of wealth and beauty,
and the inevitable iron and steel max
ing center of the south.

Sam Francisco Market Review.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 10. = The produce
market opened dull this morning. For potatoes
there was no market at all, offers being few.
Dried fruits continue to pick up; the demand
for peaches particularly being good. The nut
market is also improving. The price of oranges
IL on the decline. The market was overstocked
on Saturday, and an arrival Of four carloads
this morning from Southern California did not
tend to improve values. More shipments are
expected tomorrow.
Butter, cheese and eggs remain about the
same as last week. The receipts Of eggs are
large
The market for poultry is weak; more re-
ceipts coming in this morning on an already
overstocked market.
The wheat market IS strong and general y
higher; there was fair demand for choice
shipping goods Feed barley is firm and in fair
demand; supplies more liberal.

Daughter.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-William Smith, an
ex-conductor on railway. is under arrest
in this city on the charge of burning off
the hands of his little daughter while he
was drunk. The child lies at the hospital
with both arms amputated at the elbow.
His wife died at the county hospital about
four weeks ago. Four small children were
left to the care of the father On Nednes-
day of last week Mrs. Bross, who lives
in the same house with the Smith family,
went to Smiths rooms and offered to look
after the little ones.
Forced the Little One to Drink
She says she found remarkable state
of affairs. Smith was drunk and he had
forced little Kitty to drink liquor until
she could hardly stand. The father de-
manded that Kitty get dinner. The little
girl said she could not. Mrs. Bross pick
ed her up and laid her on the lounge and
went out of the room. \ few minutes
later the child was heard screaming: 'Oh,
papa; please don't, please don't" Several
of the women in the house rushed into the
room and found little Kitty lying on the
floor with her hands burned to a crisp

drunken anger at her inability to get hi,
dinner for him. A dozen witnesses will
testify that they heard Kitty say "Oh,

child is not yet N a condition to make a
statement, but the hospital physicians
will endeaver to get her side of the story
as soon as possible.

Rumors Current That All Is not as
Happy as is Desirable.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-The published
report that charges had been preferred
against Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt in report lodged with the
president which might lead TO his retire
ment, could not be verified yesterday. 1t
is believed at the postoffice department,
however, that an Investigation has been
made under the direction of Postmaster
General Wanamaker into RoSsevelt's in
vestigation last spring of the apti-civil
service political methods il vogue in the
Baltimore postotfice, and there is also a
general belief that he will forward re-
port thereon TO the president.
Ted Is an Able Fighter.
Commissioner Roosevelt is not in the
city. His colleagues on the commission
have nothing TO say about the rumors al
leging that Roosevelt would be more than
equal to he task of mindiug his own bus
mess Friends of the absent commits
sIoner say that nothing would be more to
his taste than an open encounter with
Wanamaker They say he has refraine
from inauguratiuC any such strife, but
they are sure that he will assume the ag-
gressive if the postmaster general gives
him an opportunity to do So At the
civil service commission rooms but little
attention is being paid to these reports.
What He Found at Baltimore.
1t is stated there that Roosevelt went
over TO Baltimore in March last to inves-
tigate charges alleging that federal en-
ployes were violating the law. The testi-
rnony taken contains the admissions of
postoffice employees that they participated
in primary elections (Which is prohibited d
10y postal regulation), and that they col
lected money for political purposes (Which
is contrary to law The postmaster took
no steps to prevent or punish these viola
tious, and for this he was censured in a
report made by Commissioner Roosevelt.
