DELIVERS AN ADDRESS BEFORE GRAND
 ARMY MEN.
 KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 4.-Independ- once day has been royalty celebrated in Knoxville today by picnics, horse and bicycle races and old Fourth of July cele- brations. The chief event of the day was the address delivered by Senator Gordon, commander in chief of the United Confed- crate Veterans, at the Grand Army of the Republic picnic. Ten thousand people heard him deliver an address notable for it's grandly patriotic sentiments and in tense Americansm.
 The oration delivered was in response to an invitation extended him by ex-union soldiers of east Tennessee. His subject was 'The American Soldier as an Ameri- can Citizen.' The breadth and liberality of the entire oration may be gathered from one of his opening sentences. He said: "What matters it to any real lover Of his country on what side he fought in the great American civil onfiict, provided oDly and always that you fought braveiy for your convictions as becomes an American soldier in war and now stand equally bravely for the rights of the whole people as becomes an American citizen in peace.'
 After speaking of the Fourth ofJuly as a day full of martial memories and high civic associa tions, he asked what lessons to meet, to learn upon such g. day as those which would lead us to higher national life, to be better and braver soldiers in war, truer and purer citizens in peace and more con- secrated potriots under all conditions.

LOUIS, July 1.-The southwestern limited passenger train on the Big Four railroad, which left here at a. m. is tied up at the bridge junction at East St. Louis, and at D. m. there is no prospect of it's immediate release.

No reason is given at the com pany's office here for the desertion of the engineer and the rest of the crew other than that they have struck through sympa- thy with the Pullman employees. The westbound passenger train on the Big Four due here at 7:30 a. m. is still tied up at Mattoon, Ill.,, and the railroad em- ployes are unable to say when it will reach here,

Among the many excursions, public gatherings and picnics of yesterday none excelled in point of enthusiasm and enjoy ment the Avondale crowd at Hale springs.
 Mays largest picnic wagon, drawn by four horses, over a score of jolly young folks and charming chaperones, with the free, pure mountain air, made day of rest and recreation, and with the choicest viands, prepared by dainty hands, to sns- tain the inner man, and agreeable com panionship with the several members of the party, all of whom were known to each other, made the day one of rare and lasting pleasure.
 Farrar's lodge and Lover's retreat were each paid a visit, and though none att tempted he famous lover's leap All enjoyed the beautiful scenery and picturesque grandeur of these romantic poin,s. Perhaps that which contributed most to the enjoyment of all was the fact that every one seemed to exert himself and herself in making the others happy, and hence reapsd increased pleasures in return. 1t was the twenty fourth birthday of the most popu- lar member of tho crowd, and none could wish him more pleasant future than his twenty fifth year has started out to be.
 Returning between and 9 the merry pie nicers yelled themselves horse with @ following suggestive lines:
 ''Razzle dazzle, rip rah ral
 We're the people, just from Hale;
 Look at the crowd, look at the crowd.
 Look at the crowd, from Avon dale.'

AT NORTH BIRMINGHAM.

At North Birmingham park the joint picnic and Fourth of July celebration by Camps Hardee and Clayton was made de- cidedly pleasant affair and the old ex- Confederates, who went through the late war and their sons and daughters cele- brated the day in an appropriate manner.
 Early in the morning by the time the sun had arisen in a spotless sky people were hustling and bustling ln order 10 pc on hand by the time the programme of the exercises were booked to open. Some were preparing baskets of eatabes of all descrlp- tions, while others were making prepara- tions for the free refreshments to be served at noon time. As was shown at dinner these preparations were not small, but ex- tensive, for verybody's appetite who was on hand was satisfied.
 A little later on in the day the picnlckers began to crowd the dummies, and by noon the park of North Birmingham was filled with old Con:ederates telling yarns of the war, their wives talking of the trials of home life during times of bloody. warfare. Not only did these old folks fill the beauti- ful park, but children trippled upon the green grass and played the plays of child hood, while in more secluded spots lovers told their tales of love and Cupid's game was played the whole day long.
 At the hour appointed for the delivery Of orations to begin the throng that had as- sembled was addressed by Hon. Rufus N. Rhodes, who spoke briefly upon the man
  be observed. After a few remarks in gen. ersl the speaker introduced Gen. R. D; Johnston, the orator of the day. General Johnston addressed the throng upon ''Fourth of July as National Holiday and Why the People Should Appropriately Observe It. .'
 Upon tbis line the general made an elo- quent address that was productive of con siderable applause at intervals. His en- tire speech was greatly enjoyed.
 Following this Camp Clayton held a meeting for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year.
 Upon a motion made by MT. Nat L. Mil Ter, and seconded by MT. Ross O.. Smith, the camp decided to give a banquet at Frs wells hall on Friday night, and hold the election of officers then and there.
 The medal given by MT. Harry Mercer for the most popular young lady representing southern state, owing to tie vote made during the reunion, was voted to Miss Carrie Toney Cochran, Alabama's fair rep resentative.
 The rest of the day was spent pleasantly and in many ways by all. Dancing at the pavilion was kept up until II o'clock.
