CHICAGO, September 6.-The trial Of
President Debs aud other American
Railway Union officials was resumed to-
day with Z. NJ. Muford, OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, on the
stand Mr. Mulford, read large num-
Der of messages sent and received by the
A, r. L. people during the strike.
They were principally OF routine
nature giving instructions, urging
the men 10 "Stand pat" and asserting
that toe general managers were beaten.
One of the kilograms received especial
attention from the Government attOr-
neys. II was addressed 10 c. B. Her
man, Of Denver, inStruCting him TO
pay no attention to court njunctlons.
Mr.. Muliord made an attempt 10 iden-
tify Debs' signature, but his effort was
not very satisfactory. Much time was
taken by the Government in developing
the Western Unions system Of delivery
and showing that the kilograms receiv-
ed here reached the A. K. L. officials.
Attorney Gregory for the defense,
raised the point that the power Of the
court was restricted TO the district in
which il was sitting and therefore it
could not punish Debs because some
thing yiolative of the injunction had
been committed by some other man in
California.
IL don't know about that" replied
Judge Woods. Il rather think that II a
man advises a crime in New York and it
is committed in Indiana ne may be pun
ished for 10 in either district"
The value of the kilograms sent out
about the time the boycott began was,
Mr.. Muford contended, that they
proved that the employees OF the Santa
Fe system quit work on Debs' orders,
as expressed 10 the messages. Mr.. Null
ford's testimony was continued at the
afternooD session.

PITrsBURG, PA. September 6.-An
eruption Of red, white and blue has
broken out all over the cities Of Pitts
burg and Allegheny. 1t has become cpl
demic, and every hour sees fresh bursts
of color, while the stars on "Old Glory"
rival in number those OF the heav-
ems. Every business house is robed
with bunting and decorated with
banners, and there will be but few
dwellings that will not be bedecked in
the National colors. Magnificent arches
are being erected on the main thor
oughfares, search lights Of intense
power are being placed on the sur
rounding heights, and experts are try
ing 10 outdo each other In the
size and beauty Of electric light
designs. Business, politics and social
functions are merely side issues just
now. The one prevailing and all
absorbing idea is TO prepare fitting re-
ception TO the veterans who are coming
here TO attend the twenty eighth
national encampment OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic.
Applications for quarters are pouring
into the Office of the local executive
council from all parts Of the country.
II was thought that the hard times
would effect the attendance AZ the com
ing encampment. II has, however, be-
came generally understood that this
will be the last encampment az
which the old soldiers Will
parade. Old age and It's infrmIties are
rapidly overtaking this heroes OF '6l-65,
and many are no longer able 10 march
long distances, regardless Of storm or
sunshine. The route this year Is short
er than at any previous encampment,
being out two miles Ia length.
Strangers have already begun TO ar
rive. The majority OF them so far are
men who expect 10 turn penny or two
during the encampment. a few old
soldiers from distant points have ar
rived, bringing with them their wives
and children. Ia addition 20 the veter-
ans and their relatives, an enormous
crowd Of visitors is expected and the
vanguard has already reached here.
They feel that they may never again
have the opportunity 10 see so many OF
the nations heroes massed In one place.
The first Of the veterans organiza-
lions TO reach here are scheduled TO
arrive on Saturday, and arrangements
have been made 10 meet them at the
depots and escort them 20 their quar-
ters. The naval veterans will arrive on
that day aud they will be quartered IN
boats on the Monongahela river. On
Sunday the railroads have arranged TO
bring in twenty thousand more, aud by
Monday evening nearly 100, 900 veterans
will be here.
The finishing touches are being
placed to-day on the mammoth build
ings OF Westinghouse in which recep-
tion will be rendered next Wednesday
evening TO the delegates TO the G.. A.
r. eucampment. the Woman's Relief
Corps and the Ladies Of the q. A. K.
This will be the social event OF the
encampment. Every civilian will be
expected to attend In full dress, while
the military men and members OF the
G. A. r. will appear In their uniforms.
The contest for the honor OF holding
the next eucampment will likely be a
hot one, although but two candidates
have so far appeared, ST. Paul and
Louisville. The latter already has a
representative on the ground aud be is
confident Of victory.

Benwood Arrests.

Three men, giving their names as
William and Joe Travis, and Henry
Johnson, from the Sistersville oil fields,
but looking more like they were from
CoxeY's army, were arrested yesterday
afternoon In lower Benwood. Officer
Thomas Sprouts of the Benwood police
force, sailed down on the men, as they
were in the act of robbiDg one of the
cornields. They were confined In the
lookup, and when searched 1t was
found that they had a good supply OF
razors with them. 1t is thought that
they may have robbed some store, and
they will be held to awaitfurther devel-
opments. Bellaire police authorities
were at once notified of the arrests.
