WENT TO GETTYSBURG AGAIN.
On July 2, 1851, the Philadelphia Brigade
erected their monument on the baltic
field OF Gettysburg. a cordial invitation
was extended 30 tho Virginia contingent.
but after considerable deliberation IL WAS
decided not 70 accept. ThereupOn n still

was urged that II the association as such

make n special effort TO be present at
the ceremonies ana accept the hospitali-
& OF those whom they met In deadly con-
fict nearly a quarter OF century be-
fore. There had previously been cordial
meetings OF the veterans Of tho Blue and
Gray, hut there have been none so pecu-
llarly significant as that between the
survivors OF the Philadelphia Brigade and
the 10 good men and true who represent
"a Pckatts Virginia Division upon that
occasion. II was significant because the
advance Of PicketTs command upon Gem

has ever seen. marked the turning point
Of tho war. il was the highest wave OF
southern military prOwess that broke

Cade. For moment fate seemed trem-

Of the voted band fell back and Lee was
defeated and the Confederacy doomed.
The men who had thus met face 20 face
in desperate battle learned 20 honor and
respect and trust one another. and there
were no reservations or concealments
when they clasped each others hands
upon this occasion.
Tho words spoken at Gettysburg when
the Philadelphia monument was unveiled
were as patriotic az they were frank and
soldierly. On the one side was full re-
cocnition Of the results Of the war and
an earnest desire TO turn away from the
past and all its bitterness and 20 20 fo<-

One OF the many amusing Incidents
that occurred during this reunion was
when Captain Charles r. Loehr, secre-
tary Of Picketts Division Association,
was talking with a gentleman on the
field OF battle. who said. as he pointed
TO a stake marking the spot where
Arinistead fell: There died a brave and
gallant soldier: be should have Il monu-
nent." Yes" replied Mr.. Loehr, but
II we offered TO build one Colonel Bach
elder would not allow 1t 10 80 up" The
gentleman soon walked off, and then Mr..
Ioehr discovered that he had been talk
ing TO Colonel Bachelor.
THE PICKETT MONUMENT.
The completion OF the Philadelphia mon
ument revivihed the interest in the plan
OF the Pickett Division Association, and
inspired with so much vigor those inti-
mately connected with IL that before
many months had passed the N,sco re-
CURED had all been subscribed, design
had been settled upon. and the work or
erection was begun by Messrs. Hutcheon
& Co, whose large granite quarry was
situated I'm Chesterfield county. The mon
ument measures feet inches AZ its base.
and Is within "A shade of p feet in
heirht. 1t consists Of Il base OF rough
granite stones, on which rest six granite
pillars, these surmOuntei by an urn
vreathed in flowers. Between the pill
lars the six sides OF the monument are in
scribed as follows: On the side
fronting the monument to the Confede-
rate dead are inscriptions in memory Of
George Il. Pickett, the commander Of the
division. and OF the division. The four
briyades composing the division have each
a side, on which is inscribed the names
OF the commanders and the battles in
which the brigade was engaged. The
sixth side il 10 the memory OF th- Th,r-
ty-eighth Battalion OF Artillery. and con-
tains the names OF the commanders and
OF the battles in which the battalion was
engaged. A copy OF the whole inscrip
ton is a most valuable addition TO his
tory; its plain statement of facts makes
other euiogy seem poor and out OF place.
The front-plate OF the monument has

SAN DIEGANS ALARMED,
Recent Murders Believed to
Have Been the Work of
a Maniac.
A Growing Belief That Ebanks Is
Innocent Of the Las Flores
Killings.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Sept. 17.-To-morrow
was the time fixed for the arraignment of
Joe thanks, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Stiles and father at Las Flores last
Tuesday. The District Attorney became
convinced that it would be unwise to take
Ebanks through a crowd, which might
offer violence. thanks was therefore
taken before Justice Bryan late this after
noon and the time for his examination set
for next Thursday morning. Ebanks was
hurried back to Jail and was behind the
bars before the public was aware of the
move.
Even while taking such precautions, the
officers admit that their belief IN thanks
guilt is much shaken, and a change is also
taking place in public sen timent in favor
of the negro.
He tells a remarkably straight and de
tailed story, which has not been broken
materially, and which in the main points
has been found true by the investigations
murder was committed has been narrowed
down to very few minutes, and if Ebanks
committed it and got back to where he was
seen later he must have acted with great
rapidity.
The opinion is gaining ground that thes
murder was committed either by maniac
or by some one who knew the victims well
and was interested in their taking off. The
mysterious murders in the vicinity of the
crime during the past few years give color
to the theory that murderous maniac is
at work there.
Garges, who travelled with thanks, will
be taken to Oceanside tomorrow for pre-
liminary examination. He is not believed
by officers to know anything of the MUIR
der, and the case against him has not been
pushed
