REUNION OF VETERANS.

Correspondence of Alexandria Gazette
By nine o'clock on the morning of
the 9Th of August each artery of travel
was pouring its hundreds into historic
Gordonsville. At half-past ten the
band played "Dixie" and o procession
of old Confederates, both cavalry and
foot soldiers, led by Major John w.
Daniel and Gems. Walker, Rosser and
Field, marched through the streets Of
the old town. The speaking was held
at natural woodland amphitheatre
half o mile from the town, and those
who wished to gain vantage point
drove rapidly around and met the old
soldiers, who bravely climbed the hill
with steady steps and Haunting Con-
federate flags.
Dr.. J. Wylie Bledsoe opened the ex-
ercises with prayer, after which Mr.. w.
w. Scott read short poem in honor
of A. P. Hill and then introduced
Senator Daniel, with a few touching
references To the man who had picked
up o pair OF crutches on the field of
Charlottesville, but, nothing daunted,
held his own on the floor of tie Senate
chamber.
For nearly two hours Maj. Daniel
held the attention of FIVE thousand peo-
pie in the open air, and his ringing
voice reached even those upon the edge
of the assembly. He touched on all
the deeply interesting points of the
war, and laid special stress upon the
fact that Gordonsville was one of the
few towns, in the Old Dominion that
hal not given its name to battle and
that no federal troops had ever en-
tered.
After the address came speeches from
Generals Walker, Rosser and Field.
A dinner almost sufficient for Lees

near by, and the multitude was fed.
The afternoon was taken up with q
tournament, and match games of base.

STORM IN BALTIMORE.

A windstorm of cyclonic proportions,
accompanied by heavy downpour of
rain aud hail, visited Baltimore yester-
day afternoon. Houses were unroofed,
trees uprooted, windows smashed, tsle-
graph, telephone, and trolley wires
broken, and other damage done within
a few minutes that will require weeks
to repair. The most serious damage
was the demolition of st. Elizabeth's
Catholic Church, in course Of erection
on East Baltimore street, opposite Pat.
terson Park. All parts of the city snf-
fsred. The storm continued at inter.
walls for three hours, but most of the
damage was done shortly after the
storm appeared. No fatalities have
been reported. In the river and bay
there were several narrow escapes from
drowning. The wind blew with fury
and boats were lifted out of the water
and turned bottom up. a boat con.
tanning FIVE persons was upset with the
boat over them, but all were rescued.
Horner's fertilizer factory on the water
front was destroyed by fire during the
storm. The loss is about 100000.
Great difficulty was encountered in
fighting the fire, the raging wind which
was blowing contributing to the spread
of the flames.

LUNATIc HAMMERED TO DEATH
George Cough and ]. B. Anderson, at
tendants at the insane asylum at Dun
ming, ILL.,, are locked up, charged with
the murder of George Buddy, a patient.
Buddy was an Austrian, SO years OF
age, and very violent maniac. Fri
day morning he was found dead in bed,
and the attending physician, after ex-
animation, declared that the man had
been beaten to death, saying THAI his
wounds must have been occasioned by
sledge hammer. A further examina-
ton showed that Buddy had been liter
ally hammered to death. Supt. Nor.
gan, after the coroner's jury had rem
dered verdict to the effect that Bu-
dizzy had been pounded to death by un.
known people, picked out Cough and
Anderson as the two men most likely
to be guilty of the crime, they having
had charge of the ward during the
night. he took the men to his private
Office, where they finally admitted they
had treated Buddy roughly. They
said he was violent and had assailed
them with his fists. Buddy was very
powerful man and they were afraid OF
him. When asked how they could in
fict such terrible injuries with their
hands, they had nothing to say.

Riotous Italians.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. PA
special to the EUening Telegraph from
Pittsburg says: A body OF one hundred
armed Italians carrying a red flag at
their head marched to the corner of
Shady street and Forbes avenue in this
city, this morning, for the purpose Of
driving off laborers employed by Booth
and Finn in grading the streets. The
Italians who were in the employ of the
firm had made concerted demand for
an increase in wages from 81 .25 to 81 SO
per day and were refused. Their
places were filled and on Sat-
urday the strikers attacked the
men who had taken their places. The
police interfered and quiet was re-
stored. Hostilities were Unexpectedly
renewed this morning, however, and
the laborers stood their ground until
the Italians began firing and then they
fled. A police alarm was sent in and q
force of reserves were hurried to the
place in patrol wagons. The Italians
fled when they saw the police coming.
but twenty-one of them were captured.
They will be held for trial on charges
of rioting.

The Turf.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE Sec
ond week of the grand circuit meeting
bids fair to excel the first in point of un
promising weather, to-day being dark
and threatening. The four days racing
last week, while it produced some SEN
sational performances, also disclosed
the fact that harness races are not a
financial success under the anti-betting
laws of this State. The Driving Park
Association stands to lose heavily by
this meeting and the horsemen
themselves are not slow to express
their disgust at the absence of
the pool box. when 1 get my
horses out of Buffalo l will never re-
turn until the law affecting betting
is changed" said ]. C. Taylor, owner
of Joe Patchen, and the other owners
have reached the same determination.
Mr.. G. J. Hamlin says the continuation
of harness races will depend very
largely on the result of the present
meeting. To-day's card contains three
races, all we'll filled with high-class
performers,

A HORRIBLE SCENE Fremont Smith
was hanged at the San Quentin, CAL,
prison Friday morning for two brutal
murders committed near Colosa in
1898. Smith and two companions,
known as Dolph and Charley, were fish
ermen and lived in cabin together.
The murderer chopped Dolph to pieces
with an axe and shot Charley. He
then robbed them both and made
his escape, but was captured three
days later. When Smith stood upon
the trap he protested his innocence and
said he had the proud distinction OF
being the first man in California to be
legally murdered. Smith weighed 220
pounds. The drop was adjusted for
only FIVE feet owing to this fact. Even
that was too much. AS he fell the
moose cut into the flesh from ear to ear,
almost severing the head from the
body. Blood spurted in every direc.
ton, and trickled down the body. The
dripping of the blood was the only
sound that broke the stiffness of the
death chamber. In six minutes he was
pronounced dead. When the black
cap was removed it was found that
portion of the spinal vertebrea had
been forced through the flesh, and that
the head was connected with the Shout
ders only by portion of the spinal
cord.

LONDON, Auy. 1.-THE fourteenth
parliament of Queen Victoria opened
TO day with the customary ceremonies.
There was the usual contests among
the members for the seats they will
occupy during the session. Before half
past nine thirty seats had been reserved
on the government benches by mem
bers placing their hats in them, the
custom that is always followed. The
opposition did not display great eagor-
ness to obtain seats, as at half past nine
they had secured only six. The House
was crowded with an animated throng
of members when, at o'clock, the geo.
man usher, of the black rod, requested
the attendance of the House of Com
mons in the House of Lords to hear the
reading of the royal commission and the
proclamation opening the session of
parliament, after which they returned
to their own house. AS prominent
members entered they were greeted
with cheers by their respective fol-
lowers. The scene was brilliant one.
The diplomats, ladies' and strangers'
galleries were crowded with distin-
guished visitors who watched the pro.
ceedings with close attention. Mr..
Mowbray moved the reelection OF
Speaker Gully. Mr.. Thomas Edward
Ellis seconded the motion and Mr..
Gully was then formally reelected
without opposition.

tornado struck this town yesterday
afternoon and over 500, 900 damage was
done to property. Fifty drellings were
badly wrecked by being crushed by
trees that were blown down upon
them. The storm at the colored camp
meeting picked up the tent and left the
people in a drenching rain. They pro-
tected themselves by clinging to the
trees and fence posts. It is almost
miraculous that none was injured. One
man had hold of a large tree which was
finally uprooted, and man and tree
were carried away together.

THE fact that some Washington city
gamblers have policy shops in Alexan-
dria county is attributed by one Of the
anti-Alexander's Island race track
newspapers of Washington, as was the
recent disturbance at Riverside Park,
in Fairfax county, to the influence OF
the race track referred to. Why, pol
10y shops were brought from the North
to Washington during the war between
the States, long before a race course
was established on Alexander's Island,
and have fourished there ever since,
and twenty exist there for every one in

MONDAY EVENING. AUG. 70, 1895.

THAT SOME of the members of labor
unions look at things through clear
glasses is proved by the fact that one OF
them, in a speech he made at a recent
meeting OF the labor federation in New
York, at which it was proposed TO e1-
clude his particular union because they
worked for slow wages" said : SIT is
true we only get $3.50 day, but we
would be glad to take $40 day if we
could get it. In the mean time we
have to take what we can get. 1t
means everything to keep the work.
Surely if we can't get all the wages we
want, we're justified in taking what We
can get, solong as we hurt no other
trade" What he said, however, was
not in accord with the feeling of the
meeting, and so the settlement of the
matter was postponed.

DISPATCHES FROM China say the mis-
sionaries will continue to stay there,
notwithstanding the alleged danger to
which they are constantly subjected.
In view of the well attested facts that
the missionaries to China do little or
no good, and that their work is sadly
needed in every city and ward OF their
own country, that they should be viii
ling to risk the assaults of a population
that firmly believe they cut out the
eyes and hearts of natives for medi-
cines, tends greatly to strengthen the
idea that they have soft snap.
