Chicago Gets Ahead Of New York in
Honoring the Dead Hero.
Tspeeiai "a Twr vau,na


CHICAGO, October S.-To-day, with
great ceremony, with a magnificent
display, both on land and water, Chi
eago unveiled her huge bronze statue
Of Gen. y. 5. Grant ii Lincoln Park.
The crowd that gathered was enor-
nous. Mrs.. Grant va among those
present. On The water was i aotilla of
nearly two hundred vessels. Three
abreast was the order ii the marine
display, and noble sight the squadron
made as it moved along. On the in
side, next to the shore, the tugs, small
yachts and little passenger steamers
were arranged. Next the United
States steamer Michigan, in the lead,
were the other government craft--the
johnson, from Milwaukee, and the
Fessenden, Of Detroit. Then came the
Chicago fire boats, and to the seaward
the great lake carriers and the white
schooners. Three miles distant, at
Lake Front Park, on the edge Of the
business district, the land parade had
formed along Michigan avenue, north
and south from the Auditorium.
AT a prearranged signal Miss Mary
Strong, daughter Of the late Gen. VIM.
E. Strong, loosed the cord binding the
bunting that concealed the eighteen
foot bronze horse and rider ON the great
pile Of stone, and as every curve Of the
noble steed and soldier stood out and
the face Of the dead sprang into view,
applause and salutes were heard on
every hand. When the rumble Of the
last gun had ceased, Hon. w. G.
Cloudy, as president of the Lincoln
Park Commissioners, made a speech
Of acceptance, and Mayor Hampstead
Washburne accepted the monument on
the part Of the citizens of Chicago.
Judge Walter G. Gresham's address
was. the feature of the days exercises.
Although the proceeding speeches had
been long, scarcely al man of all the
multitude had left the vicinity Of the
platform, and when the great jurist
arose he was given an enthusiastic
greeting.

New CASTLE, Pa, October 8.-Much
annoyance has been occasioned along
the line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company by persons placing obstruc-
tons on the tracks. Some time DUR
ing the summer an engine was stand
ing on side track at the Moravia
Station. On the platform were two
Italians. The engineer opened the
valves and permitted the hot steam to
pour out upon the dusky sons Of Italy.
1t isalleged that they stated tobystand-
ers at that time that they would kill
the engineer. On July is, just before
this same engineer and his train had
passed over the road, the track was
found to have been obstrncted with
logs, stones, and large bolts and burrs.

CUMBERLAND, October 8.-A dense

Of the most interesting feature Of thu

ing Of the Executive Committee, held

to postpone the trades display until to-
day, when it viii be given, rain OF
shine. The Pennsylvania Brigade Band
and other musical organizations from
the city and elsewhere, paraded the
city and gave concerts ON the hotel
porches. This seemed to brighten some
Of the gloom Of the rainy day, and
large crowds collected around the mu-
sicians. In the afternoon Captain Paul
Boyton and his assistants gave nov
el aquatic exhibition on the Potomac
river, between the two bridges leading
to the West Virginia shore. A dense
mass Of humanity lined the shores and
stood through out the entire perform
ance. The rain continued to pour
down, and the surging crowd on the
banks Of the river, under their umbrel-
las, resembled one huge mass Of wav-
ing mushrooms. The pyrotechnic ex-
hibition and illuminated boat parade,
which were to have taken place on the
river tonight, were also postponed,
on account Of the inclement weather.
Tonight the streets are reverberating
with the sounds Of music, and the crowd
of merry sightseers, I'M daunted by
either mud or rain, are listening, and
applauding the visiting bands enthusi-
astically.

SUTTON, W. ~ October s.-The
mysterious disappearance Of pedlers,
revenue officers and other strangers
which few years ago agitated the
citizens Of this county and town, was
partially explained to-day By the OK
humation Of the skeletons Of several
persons which had been buried in the
cellar Of an old house on the outskirts,
near the corporate limits. The dis
eovery was purely accidental, and was
made by workmen who had torn down
the old ranch and were excayating for
the foundation Of new building. The
old house has always had the reputa.
ton Of being haunted, and has been
uninhahited since the war. Many nm
canny stories have been told Of the
sights seen and sounds heard around
The old building, and to-day's reyela-
ton goes to prove that the stories were
circulated with q purpose by those
most interested, and who did not do
sire that the place should be visited
by inqaisitive persons. A careful OK
animation Of the skeletons shows that
in every case the skulls were fractured,
and many bullet perforations are visis
BILE in different places. Old residents
remember the frequent suspicious dis
appearances, but no one seems able TO
give the slightest clue to the perpetra-
tors Of thecrimes. Al careful examine
ton Of the surroundings will be made
to see il any more remains are 70 DO
found.
Sutton is the present terminal Of the
Camden system. 1t is the widest and
most sparsely settled portion Of the
state, and until recently has been
completely isolated from the world.
There is great excitement over to-day's
disclosures.

A curious sight, not on the bills, was
witnessed here tonight by those who
attended the performance of the
Gypsy Queen,' by the Hilda Vernon
Dramatic Company, at Music Hall.
During the second act, Miss Vernon,
the Queen, was supposed to be knocked
down by her father. In falling, she
got too near the footlights, and her
flowing hair caught fire. The actress
drew the burning mass through her
hands several times, and finally extin-
gulshed the flames; but while doing so,
She did not miss a line, nor did her
iaelal expression change. Her hair
was entirely destroyed, and her scalp
and hands badly burned. The other
performers seemed paralyzed and rem
aered no assistance. The audience
we're badly frightened, but applauded
Mss Vernon's pluck to the echo.
