The c. A. R.
Twenty-ffth Annual Convention
at Detroit.
NOTABLE SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
Talk OF Choice For Next Communicative
sentatiOn Of TestImOnials-Unique Ap-
Pearance of a Michigan Company
OF Veterans

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 4.-The twenty
fifth annual or silver" encampment of
the G. "A. r. in this city this week
promises TO be the greatest meeting of
old soldiers ever held since the war.
Mammoth preparations have been made
and to-sday's parade is expected to
eclipse all former ones
Gen William G. Veazey, of Vermont
commander-in-ohief of the G. A. r,
arrived this morning, and his head
quarters at the Cadillac were the Mecca
of SCARED and grizzled veterans
throughout the forenoon. Gen. Veazey
was accompanied by Miss Clara Bar
ton, the famous founder of the White
Cross. Secretary of War Proctor was
also of the party. The Vermont de-
partment headquarters are at the Cadil-
lac, and the Vermont officers arrived
with Gen. Veazey. The party numbers
100 men and 100 ladies' Vermont favors
Washington for the next encampment
The most prominent candidates for
commander-in-chief are: A. G. Weis-
surt, of Milwaukee, Wis; Col w. R.
Snedburn, of San Francisco; Brevet
Brig. Gen. Samuel ii. Hurst, of Chilli
cothe, O., and Col. c. P. Lincoln, of
Michigan.
Last nights festivities consisted of
three presentations-one to Commander
in Chief Veazey of a 81, 900 gold medal,
set with diamonds; one of the same sort
to Gen. Alger from his aides of last
year and one TO Mayor Pingree, men,
Der of the Second Massachusetts heavy
artillery, who has cared for all the
members of his battery by turning his
magnificent estate into a camp with a
menu card in the feed tent, would make
many hotels green with envy.
The parade this year will be entirely
of the veterans, not a single military
company tdrning out. The Fourth reg
iment, however, has been ordered out
to do police duty and to city will in
reality be given over to the veterans,
every street within three blocks of the
line of march being closed by the proc
lamation of the mayor and intrusion
further guarded against by the rOping
off of the section and the stationing of
a strong armed guard at each street in
tersection.
One company, that from Union City,
Mich, arrived last night in heavy
marching arms, with the old Spring
field muslxet and the same accoutre-
ments they wore when they marched
out of Detroit in the stormy days.
One of the perpleXing questions to
come up at this meeting is the admis.
sion of colored posts, the southern dele
gates being strongly opposed to it,
while the negroes are as strong in their
demand for equality and have the sym
pathy of the north to a large extent

sui AGAINST PULLMAN.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Wants
an Accounting.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Wants
an Accounting.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4-There was fled in
the United States circuit court yester-
day afternoon a suit that may in various
ways affect every railroad of impor-
tance in the country. The suit is bill
in equity fled by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St Paul Railroad Co. against the
Pullman Car Co. for an account
ing under contract made in 1882 by
which the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul road secured from thirty to forty
palace dining and sleeping cars
The road charges that the Pullman
company under the contract for main
tanning the cars made charges that
were grossly excessive and fraudulent
An accounting is sought and an injunc-
ton asked restraining the Pullman
company from prosecuting an action at
law against the road for S1,000,000
now pending m court. The railroad
agreed to pay such a proportion
of the general expenses of the car
company as the number of cars on
the line bore to the whole number
of cars run by the Pullman company
on all lines operated by it, but the bill
shows that the charges according to
this agreement were S26.21 on each car
for one month, and if this was pro
rata charge the amount returned by the
Pullman company from all the COM
panies it had contracts with must have
been 81, 21S, SIS per annum.
Regarding the enormous amounts
paid to porters and conductors, the bill
says that there was never any detailed
statement of the wages paid these en-
ployes. The cost of manufacturing the
cars is also gone into and the bills for
the cost of these cars, it is claimed, are
greatly in excess of the actual cost
Roswell Miller, president of the St
Paul, signed the bill certifying that all
charges were trIe to the best of his
knowledge and belief
Edwin Walker, counsel for the road,
said: This suit will never be settled
out of court and we intend to see if we
cannot bring this company to a proper
recognition of the rights of our company.
1t has never acted fairly and squarely in
the matter of expenses and we in
tend that it shall be compelled
to account for everything. The
idea of putting in accounts for
hundreds of thousands of dollars with
out particularizing is preposterous.
The state legislature has sent commit
tee after committee to investigate the
Pullman company, but each time the
same old report of everything being
absolutely perfectly right was made.
1t is abont time the people and the rail-
roads of the country should know how
the affairs in the Pdllman company are
being managed and we propose to find
out"

GREAT FIRE IN CHICAGO.
The Loss Said to Run Up to One Million
Dollars

The Loss Said to Run Up to One Million
Dollars.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3 3--Fire involving a
loss estimated at 81, 600, 900 broke out at
7:SO yesterday morning in the large
retail dry goods and notion store of
Siegel, Cooper &5 Co., at the southeast
corner of State and Adams streets. The
blaze spread with the greatest rapidity.
Every available piece of fire apparatus
was called to the scene. Any attempt
to save the building was hopeless, and
the fire department devoted its efforts
toward preventing the flames from
spreading to adjoining buildings.
About twenty-five employees were in
the store, but all, as far as known, es-
capped uninjured, except one cash boy
who was on the third floor. He started
to come down by the fire escape, but
became confused, lost his footing and
fell, receiving severe injuries.
There were three watchmen in the
building who have not been accounted
for.
The building was entirely gutted,
and the Adams street wall fell in after
the framework had been softened by
the heat.
The firm carried a stock of $500, 900.
The loss is believed to have been fully
covered by insurance.
The flames caught in the rear of
James II. Walkers large dry goods
store, just back of Siegel, Cooper &
Co.'S, and fronting on Wabash avenue,
but they were soon extinguished. The
heat broke the plate glass in the
Leader, another dry goods and notion
store on the northeast corner of Adams
and State streets, and it looked Tor a
time as if that building was doomed,
but il was saved after a hard StrurgIe
