The actin Annual Reunion at wash in gtOn
VIII Eclipse All Previous Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 5.-Two weeks from
to-day the Goth grand encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic will begin
in this city. Preparations for the occa-
sion have been made on u scale so extern
sive that it will eclipse in completeness
and historic interest any previous re-
union of the organization.
One great feature of the whole affair,
and one to which considerable historical
interest is attached, will be the review,
in which the veterans taking part will
march over the same route they covered
in '65, when peace had been proclaimed
after four years war, and 300, 900 boys in
blue celebrated the occasion by marching
in their tattered uniforms up Penusylva-
mia avenue from the Capitol to the White
House.
The review Of 27 years ago consumed
the better part Of three days, but that of
September 20 of this year has been so ar
ranged that by marching in double col
umns the survivors will only be an hour
passing over the route
The formal opening will take place
Monday, September 10, on the grounds
surrounding the Washington monument.
President Harrison will make the opening
speech, and there will be an address of
welcome and one on behalf of the Grand
Army

The John l.. Sullivan train got in hero

corded to the champion were concerned.
At many places were the train stopped

enroute, when not asleep, in a manner

scale than ever before, occupying two
days instead of one. The first of the ex-
ercises commenced yesterday afternoon,
when picnic was held at the Ridgewood
Colosseum. The day was pleasant and an
immense crowd was present.
The picnic ls always been held form
erly at Rid, ,o0d Park, but owing to
unforeseen circumstances the committee
was compelled this year to take the Col
osseum. The park was hardly large
enough to accommodate the people.
The most important part of the cele-
bration was the parade, which took place
this morning at 1920. There were over
10000 men in line, which included Al or
ganizations
The first division was composed of car
penters, members of the Kings County
District of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and JOiners of America, and
turned out $500 strong. The building
trades were particularly well represented
this year, for besides the carpenters, the
plumbers, 800 strong, and the laborers,
1900 strong, turned out.
The sixth division was composed en-
tirely of shoemakers of both this city and
New York. The men are so elated over
the victorious ending of nearly all their
troubles in shops in both cities that they
turned out to a man. Over l 800 shoe
makers were in line
Only American flags and trade banners
were allowed in the procession which was
in seven divisions After che parade ad-
journment was had to the picnic grounds

Bridgeport Police After James Reeee,

BRDGEPoRT, Sep, 5-The police here
are looking for James Reece, one of the
most enterprising horse thieves and burg
lars that has operated in this vicinity
for some time Reece went to the barn
owned by Henry Bassett, and took a
horse; then he proceeded to Martin
Quilty's barn and appropriated nice har-
ness; finally he went TO Charles Lafield's s
barn, and, putting the harness on the
horse, hitched him into a wagon.
He then drove to Eckart Bros. brewery
and helped himself to several valuable
coats. He then stopped at saloon, and,
stealing large quantity of bad whiskey,
left the town by the Long Hill road. Sew
eral reports have since come of breaks
along the road, and it looks as if Reece
had made a big haul.
