Army of the Republic made its second

ranks made it possible to attempt in one
day what it required two long days to
accomplish in 1865. To the survivors of

Potomac and the west, who, on the

though age had somewhat weakened the
physical powers of the survivors today,
they were enabled to cover the dis

then, not being incumbered with arms
or accoutrements, and having smooth,
firm roadway for their feet, instead Of
a dusty, rough highway.

Last night at the capital was even
more brilliant than the day. Shortly
after dark the multitudinous thousands
who lined the avenue while the parade
was in progress repaired to the vicinity
OF the monument Here the elaborate
display of fireworks provided by the
committee and Pain. the pyrotechnic
king was made. 1t was magnificent
show, in some respects unequalled, and
was worthy of place in the programme
of the days events.
Succeeding the fireworks display there
was an electric illumination on q scale
never before attempted in this country.
1t was one of the attractions of the re-
union provided by the citizens commit
tee, and was complete success. Penn
sylvania avenue from the Capitol to
Seventeenth street was ablaze with col
ored lights.
The feature of the illumination was
the brilliant representations of corps
badges. Seventy of these had been placed
on supports at convenient distances in
red, white and blue. Each of these was
color as the badge. There was also
placed at short intervals portraits in oil
of the leading generals Of the war. AT
the head of Fifteenth street was mons

entrances to the White House, spanning
the arch of the gateway, had been placed
a great fan of 1900 lamps, arranged so
that they could be turned on and off,
giving the fan the appearance of opening
and shutting. Over the other gate was

FATAL FIRE AT RoCEAwAY.
Forty to Fifty Acres Burned Over and
Many Buildings DESTROYED.

RocKAwAY, N. Y, Sept. 2l.-The
most disastrous conhagration that has
ever visited this seaside resort was finally
mastered at about o'clock last evening,
after several hours Of hard fighting For
while II seemed as though the FIRE was
beyond all human control, and it was the
general belief that it would burn while
there was material to feed it. There
was fully thirty feet of water in the
reservoir when the fire broke out, but
when the firemen attached their hose to
two or three Of the hydrants in the vi
einity Of the fire the pressure became so
low that it was impossible to throw a
stream further than half dozen feet.
The residents here feel exceedingly in
dignant over the revealed state of their
water supply. 1t was not until rein
forcements from the fire departments of
Long Island City, Ozone Park, Wood
haven and Morris Park had arrived that
any headway was made. The steam en-
gine from Long Island City was espe-
cially serviceable because by its means a
plentiful supply of water was obtained
from Jamaica bay.
All the buildings on Henry street to
Pier avenue and those on First and Sea
side avenues are mass of ruins. The
area burned over is from forty to fifty
acres, and where formerly there was
long line of hotels, bathing houses, car
oussels, etc, Is now mass of shoulder
ing ruins.
The loss of life, so far as can now be
ascertained, is Mrs. W. Phillips, the wife
of the proprietor of the Seaside museum,
and her 6-year-old daughter This was
the building in which the fire originated,
and SO suddenly did the flames spread
that before the woman could escape all
exits were cut off. The woman appeared
at the window for moment, while the
flames surrounded her on all sides. Fire
men shouted for her to jump, but she
refused, and fell back into the flames.
The loss is estimated all the way from
$780, to 81, 800 900 but conservative
estimates place the sum at the first fig
ures. The insurance is small.

able in character, disappearing and re-
appearing in the most bewildering man
ner. The trees and shrubbery seemed
fairly magnetized, and the effects were
extremely beautiful. Throughout the
grounds were number Of other electri-
cal devices, among them large wheels
turning and changing colors with each
revolution.
The illumination of the treasury build
ing with colored electric lights was espe.
cially fine and notable, as also were
number of large set pieces at intervals
along the avenue, the most conspicuous
being a great anchor Of blazing light
at the corner of Tenth street. Powerful
search lights thrown from the tops of
high buildings produced dazzling effect.

EAsToN, Pa, Sept. 81. = A serious
wreck, purely accidental, occurred on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey near

A coal train ran into the obstruction,
md the debris from the wreck which
followed was thrown on the east bound
track. Before an approaching train on
this track could be signaled it dashed
into the wreck. Thirty-six cars and an
engine were damaged as II result of the
collision.
