Taken for Drive Over the City--Visit to Fort Thomas-Reception. and Ban-
 quet at Night

Cincinnati, June 1.-The party of dis tinguished ex-Confederate officers and ladies who went to Chicago to dedicate the monument were welcomed with open arms at the Grand Central depot this morning by the committee from the chamber of commerce appointed to meet them. The guests of the city were con ducted to the Grand hotel, which was fairly damned with Grand Army of the Republic men and business men, who were introduced. Then carriages were taken and a visit paid the city hall, art museum and other points of interest.
 At noon a public reception at the chamber of commerce was given. The spacious room and the gallery were crowded with people, large number of them being ladies' Cheer after cheer rent the air, and every speech was in terrupted with applause. Gen. John c. Underwood was introduced by President Glenn, and the following made felicitous speeches: Gems. Fitzhugh Lee, Hunton, Douglass Heth and Marcus Wright, and Col. Holmes Conrad and Senator Butler.
 General Longstreet was unable to at tend, being afraid to venture out in the heat. The speechmaking was inter spersed with Dixie" Marching Through Georgia" "Star-Spangled Ban
 
 hearty good feeling was kept at high tension. After the speechmaking was ended the visitors were introduced to the hundreds of Grand Army of the Republic men present.
 In the afternoon a visit to Fort Thom- as, in the Kentucky highlands, was made. E;n route there a telegram from General Schofied was passed around the car. It read:
 T hope the distinguished Union and Confederate soldiers who may visit Gin cinnati upon invitation of the chamber of commerce will pay a visit to the troops at Fort Thomas, Ky, where am sure they will be received with a most cordial welcome. I will wire the com manding officer of Fort Thomas that he may expect such a visit
 When the party arrived at the fort they were met by carriages and driven to the reception quarters, where Colonel Cochran and staff received them The guests witnessed dress parade by the regiment
 Tonight banquet at the Grand hotel was given, and plates were laid for 200. The set programme was abandoned and only impromptu speeches were made. The subjects talked on were as follows:

LOOKS LIKE 0LNEY
As Successor to the Portfolio of State-Promi- nent Alabamians at the
 Capital

Washington, June l.-(Special.)-It is quite generally entertained in official cir cles here that Attorney-General Olney will succeed the late Secretary Gresham in the state portfolio. Attorney General Olney is perhaps better equipped than anyone in the present administration to carry out its present foreign policy. as he has been consulted at every step in the diplomatic negotiations, which have been numerous and complicated for the past two years.
 If MT. Olney should become secretary of state it is quite likely that MT. James c. Carter, the distinguished lawyer of New York will be offered and will accept the attorney-g -generalship for the remain ing two years of MT. Clevelands s term.
 Hons Oscar Underwood of Birming- ham, Gaston Robbins of Selma and w l.. Chambers of Sheffield are registered in the city.
 MT. Chambers is an applicant for as- sistant comptroller of the currency made vacant by the death of Mir Man sur some time ago. It is thought he may be appointed.

II LOOKS LIKE RACES, A Movement on Foot to Bring
 the Horses Here. HAYDEN DARGlN IN TOWN And Ready to Reorganize the Old State Fair ssociation-Results on the Turf
 and Diamond

It looks now very much like Birming- ham will have some racing here this winter that will be interesting Tn fact, this is almost a certainty. for the owner of the track at the fair grounds, MT. Hayden Dargin, is in the city looking to that end, and all that remains now is for some proper persons to take the matter up and push it along.
 MT. Dargin arrived here from San Francisco Friday afternoon and has in- spected the grounds and is looking to- wards establishing the fair grounds as winter racing point. Of course to do this the people will have to take some interest in the matter and strive to- wards making it a success, which can be done easily.
 The first thing to be done is to reor- ganize the State Fair association, which has partially been done already. After this is done it is proposed to put per

school grades were seated on the stage in tiers, with the graduating class ia front.
 The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. BarfIxell, rector of St. Paul's church, and the address, a grand production, was delivered by Professor Petrie, after which Gen. K.

manent state exhibit at the fair grounds, which will be considerable attraction and which will cause railroads selling tickets to grant stop-over privileges at this place.
 A meeting was held yesterday after noon, which was attended by some of the most prominent business men in the city, Another will lbel held Monday, when the old association will be reorgan- lzed and work begun upon the matter of getting permanent organization.
 With this move the people of Bir- mlngham have chance to build up the fair grounds track and establish it per- manently Already number of the most prominent business men of the city have shown an interest in the matter and have signified their willingness to aid in mak- ing it a success.
 MT. Dargin is here to make a success of 1t, and that alone assures success to the venture. He resided in this city for years, and in fact this is his home. He has been one of the most successful race track men in the country, as will be seen from the following clipping from the St. Louis Republic of June, 1893:
 Phenomenal success on the turf is rarely coupled with modesty. Year in and year out the killings of plungers are the talk and wonder of the racing world. St. Louisans, who have followed the ups and downs of White, the local player, with interest, will be surprised to know that the modest, smoothfaced, boyish-looking bookmaker. who has figured on local tracks as Hayden" has made since 1890 the neat sum of $70,- 900 in round figures, of which $23580 is in local bank, $28000 is in a safety de- posit vault in Chicago, and the balance the turf, is Hayden Dargin, who came to St. Louis about five years ago from Birmingham, Ala.
 Hayden" developed considerable shrewdness at an early age, and his ven lures have generally been successful. He became interested in racing, but not to the extent of plugging. In 1890 Hay den" and two of his friends put $100 each in a book in old Pool alley, and asso- ciated with them man who is known as Walter The latter practically ran the book. So successful was he that the bank roll grew rapidly. When the alley was closed Hayden" opened up at South Side park. His associates had with drawn. satisfied with their winnings. Walter" was given a third interest in the South Side book, and in a short time $70,000 represented '"Hayden's" winnings. Transferring his base of operations to the East St. Louis track, Hayden" opened two books. and again added to his bank roll. Since then he has booked at Memphis Louisville, Lexington, La tonia, Hawthorne and Washington Park, and with invariable success. Losing days came, of course, but the winnings have so far exceeded his losses that "Hayden's" Dargin can clean up in these hard times $70,000 as result of his $100 investment in a 10-cent book in Pool alley in 1890. Walter" is said to be $20,00 to the good. Hayden is now at a summer resort taking life easy. He will open up at Hawthorne again next week." .
 Since the date of this clipping he has been as successful as ever, and has made money hand over fist. At present he is worth $200. 900 In cash, and has a half in- terest in a stable valued at $100, 900.

GET IN THEIR DEADLY WORK

Pittsburg, June IA special to the Leader from Parkersburg, W. Va, says: About 5:30 D. m. today this city was shaken as if by an earthquake, and tremendous report startled the citizens. Amid a shower of falling glass the peo- pie rushed into the streets and for mo- ment everyone was dazed. It was first thought that the Parkersburg mill, em ploying several hundred men, had blown up. A trip to the river however. told the story A large skiff loaded with nitro-glycerine being taken up the Little Kanawha river from Pittsburg in charge of an unknown man from Sewickly, Pa, and containing 250 quarts of the deadly fluid, was pulling into the mouth of Neals run, opposite the mill. The cans were hot and in handling them the man let one fall and a terrific explosion fol- lowed. The man and boat were blown into atoms, several small pieces of the mans body being picked up hundreds of yards from the scene of the explosion. There were fifty five-quart cans on the boat. The boat was 20x10 feet, and had on it's bow, "Nitro-glycerine explosives, and carried a red flag.
 The damage done by the wrecking of the buildings, breaking of glass and the wrecking of boats and barges is esti- mated at $75,000. The business streets of the city were strewn with glass and wreckage. Numerous persons were cut and injured by falling glass and timbers. The greatest damage was done in South Parkersburg. Houses caved in and the clustering fell off the walls and ceilings. Horses were frightened and ran away and bedlam generally broke loose in that city. The tow boat Heatherington was badly wrecked.
