NATIONAL ENCAMPME NT.
What Is Being Done for the Reception O
the Veterans.
The matter of arranging for accomm odation,
and assigning to quarters at the National En-
eampment is in charge of William Fortune
Executive Director; and all who wish accom-.
modations of any character, whether in hotels
boarding houses, scboolhouses, barracks, OF
halls are urged to apply to him Immediately
Such applications can be more satisfactorily
attended to now than later, when the volume
of business will prevent careful consideration
Of such requests. Mr. Fortune urges that ali
Post Commanders who have not filed out and
returned the blanks sent them do so at once
WAITING what their Posts will need in the way
pf quarters. The matter of accommodations
Is solely in Mr.. Fortunes hands, and all ar
engagements made by him are by authority.
The officers of the Union Railway Company,
Vt indianapolis, have decided upon a plan for
the handling OF baggage during the Encamp-
ment. In addition TO the two baggage-rooms
connected with the Union Passenger Station,
the large new freight depot of the c. c. G. &
St Louis Railway system, at the corner of
Delaware and South streets, will be used for
the purpose, together with temporary bag
gsge-house to be located north of the Union
tracks on West street. The freight depot of
the c. C. c. & st. Louis is 200 feet in length
and about 100 feet in width. covering four
tracks. The temporary buildings, for the erec-
tion of which bids have already been received,
will be 500 feet in length by 100 in width, and
will cover two tracks.
Heretofore the handling of baggage has been
one of the most troublesome features of En-
campments, and the delay caused by the enor-
NOUS amount Of baggage TO be received and
delivered to the owners has been the cause
Of great embarrassment and vexation. It is
hoped that such ample provision for storage
and handling will prevent the trouble that
has existed in each instance heretofore. The
entire work of checking and delivering the
baggage to owners as they apply will be in the
hands Of the Union Railway Company.
