Under one flag a reunited host devoted t(
the advancement and prosperity of on'
| common country, the veteran foemen of,
third OF century ago met to-day to dedi
cate as a National park the ground made
sacred by the blood of heroes who fought
at their side.
This park is one of the most notable ir
existence, and unique in many respects
1t extends from Sherman Heights il
Tennessee to Glass Mills, Ca, distance
OF twenty-five miles, over all of which, to-
gether with necessary approaches the
governments of these States have ceded
jurisdiction to the United States. At the
present the Government owns between ter
and eleven square miles-6500 acres, o.
which $500 are cleared of underbrush
Congress has authorized the purchase of q
total area of about sixteen square miles. II
has already expended for the purposes o1
the park $750,000 including the appropria-
ton for the current year, and also besides
$50, 900 for the expenses of the dedication
Seventy-two miles of railway, more OF
less completed, have been made, and five
observation-towers erected within the park
limits, and within view from them are the
scenes of the battles of Chickamauga,
Orchard Knob Lookout Mountain,
w auhatchie, Missionary Ridge and
Browns Ferry.
A broad boulevard will connect the ex-
treme points OF the park, much of it being
already constructed along the crest OF
Missionary Ridge, Bragg's line of battle.
From almost any point along its length a
most magnificent view of the valley and
far-off heights is obtained. In its work of
marking the line of battle and positions of
the troops engaged the National commit
tee has been assisted by the Commissioners
OF twenty-five States, including all of the
Southern States. About 800 large histori-
cal tablets are already in place, and other
tablets giving locality and distance mum
Der 300. Each battery engaged is being
marked by at least two guns. One hun
dred and fifty guns are mounted in fight
ing positions of batteries, and 400 guns are
on the ground ready for mounting. Ohio
has 81 monuments; Illinois, SO; Mime
sofa, s; Wisconsin, 8; United States regu-
lars, 8. There have been authorized and
commissioners are preparing to erect as
follows: New York, 20; Pennsylvania, Is;
Connecticut, 2; Tennessee, 4.
Chattanooga was early astir and all the
morning the various roads to the Chicka-
mauga field were filed with vehicles carry
ing spectators to the dedication cere-
monies. A belt line of cars was organized
for the occasion, and by its agency it was
made possible for the great crowd of
visitors to reach the grounds. The exer-
cises were held on an immense stand built
near the observation tower on Snodgrass
Hill, the center of the deadly opening day
conflict.
Besides the Federal officials, including
Secretaries Herbert and Smith, POST
master General Wilson and Attorney
General Harmon, there were the following
Governors of States, some accompanied by
their staffs. and members of Congress

LITER GUMRY,s PROPERrF.
Notc Comes Man Who Says He Is q
Brother. of the Deceased.

NOp comes nan Wh0 Says He Is O.
Brother of the Deceased.
DENVER. CoLo., Sept. 19.-Another sem
sational phase in the Gumry disaster was
developed yesterday, when Gustaf Gune-
son filed a petition in the County Court
praying that the letters of administration
of the Gumry estate issued to the Inter-
national Trust Company be revoked and
others issued to Benjamin B. Brown.
Guneson claims to be the brother and sole
heir of the deceased. According to his
story the tale that Gumry was picked up
in boat at sea and was given the name Of
the ships boat by his rescuers is simply a
fiction. He states concisely that Peter
Gumry was his brother, that 'for reasons
best known to himself he changed his
name to Gumry, and has been known by
both names since 1852" He proposes to
submit full proof of these allegations at
the proper time.
Guneson is a native of Sweden and re-
sides in Putnam County, West Virginia.
He names the value of Gumry's estate in
his petition at $4,000 and the personal
property at $4,000.

the Basle mission at Moiloi, west of Swan

foreigners had evacuated it, owing to the
warning received from other stations that
thousands of rebels were gathering and

CHOLERA ON THE BELGIC
The Captain of the Mail
Steamer Gave a Clean
Bill of Health.
SURGEON BOWIE IN JAPAN.
Talk Of Taking Steps to Secure the
Extradition of the CriminaIly
Negligent Doctor.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 19.-It is
understood that the surgeon general
of the marine hospitals is considering
the question whether the officers of
the Pacific Mail steamer Belgic can be
punished for making out clean bill of
health when there was cholera aboard.
DIR. Bowie, surgeon of the Belgic, has
taken up his residence IN Japan and cannot
be reached unless through Intervention of
our State Department, and it is question
able whether he has committed an extra
ditable offense.
The Times urges an investigation and
says this evening: 1.-The letter published
in the Times from Apprentice Goebel of
the United States steamer Bennington to
his father in this city reveals possibility
that is somewhat startling for the people
of San Francisco, if not for the whole
country. The assertion of young
Goebel, that the last Pacific Mail
steamer previous to the writing of his
letter brought cholera to Honolulu, though
the captain reported clean bill of health
and gave false reports in regard to the
disease. which carried off three men on
the voyage, would appear to demand rigid
investigation.
Evidently the theory of the young man,
who has himself died of cholera since writ
ing the letter, was the theory of all on
board the Bennington. The fact that the
captain of the Mail steamer was able to
escape close scrutiny at quarantine by
his own report shows a carelessness of
supervision at Honolulu, which probably
also prevailed at San Francisco before the
cholera scare at the former place became
known"
Another local paper thinks the disease
will not obtain much foothold in California
on account of the States healthful
climate

The victim was in feeble health, and Bates

to it, cremated her in her own house. The
horrible deed was committed so that he
would come into possession of her prop

Wellic is not yet seventeen years

Wellie is not yet seventeen years
of age and it rarely occurs that
honors are thrust upon one 80 young
in life. But the compliment of
Free Scholarship at Bloomsbury
State Normal School is as fully ap-
preciated as if it had fallen upon
him in maturer years. His parents
are not possessed of resources suf-
ficiently abundant to provide IN ed
ucation for their children rs they
would like to do. Wellie's oppor-
tunities in the line Of education have
been few indeed. His education for
the most part was attained through
private study. He had been afflicted
with paralysis which made it i'm.
possible for him to walk for mum
Der of years. This prevented him
from going to school and his at
tendance at public school has been
consequently limited to but u few
terms.
He is cripple and is compelled to
walk on crutches. This was n big
drawing card for him in his aspir-
alton to secure one OF the PosTs
magnificent Bloomsbury scholar
ship prizes. He had the sympathies
OF his warm-hearted friends among
the readers of the PosT. There
could be no mistake about his being
a deserving aspirant. His support
came chiefly from the vicinity of his
home and the western portion of the
county with scattering votes from
other sections. The plum falls into
deserving bands. The wisdom of
the choice of the readers of the PosT
stands unchallenged. The victor
deserves al he has received and even
more. We feel safe IN assuring his
friends that Wellie fully realizes the
unbounded pleasures of nm education
and he has always edeavored to seize
every available opportunity to ad-
vance his educational interests.
