ed the Union Depot, from Chicago, at
eight o'clock, they were met by great

the Louisville Legion. with its band,
were taken to the Gait House. Here
national headquarters were established.
The arrival of Rear Admiral Allen, of
the naval veterans, with his staff and a
number of delegates from the Middle
States, was signalized by a reception of
the same nature. Rough estimates from
the various depots will show that fully 35 600
strangers have arrived in the twenty -four
hours ending at noon. Guard was mounted
this morning at Camp Caldwell, where strict
army discipline will be enforced. The camp
has been set out like miniature camp ard

The Durrant Case.

SAX FRANCISCO, Sep. ALI sorts Of
stories in connection with the Dur.
rant case emanating from the most
vague sources have been circulated
and published in the last few days only
to be contradicted when traced to the
fountain of the information. There is
q good deal of preliminary testimony
adduced before the witnesses who con-
meet Durrant with the case can be put
upon the stand. The testimony of De-
tective Gibson, who noticed the blocks
at the head of the body of Miss Lamont,
will show that who ever placed the
body of the murdered girl where it was
found had knowledge of the customs in
vogue in the disseoting room. The
head rested on these blocks just as the
head of g corpse in dissecting room
would have done. Durrant is a medi-
cal student. There is nothing direct
about the evidence, but it is considered
a good link in the chain.

"a 11shA1 lei AANOn1N0.-Ou ShtuI'
day afternoon young negro named
Kit Leftwich waylaid and assaulted o
fourteen-year- old white girl of good
family named Fogarty, one mile from
Bristol, Tenn. He had choked her in
to submission, when two negro men,
having heard her cries, approached the
scene. Leftwich then attempted to
escape, but had delayed too long. He
was chased for two miles through the
hills by the negro men. He knocked
them down repeatedly, but a white
man appeared with rifle and the
Gend was brought to Bristol and
lodged in Jail. The girl was found to
be badly injured, and her relatives soon
appeared, looking for blood. Quite q
large crowd collected around the jail
and trouble was imminent. The mayor
swore in some extra policemen and
rushed the negro to. the train. The
crowd attempted to take him, and fire
arms were developed to considerable
extent. By quick work, however, he
was placed on the east bound vestibule.
Even then some one attempted to put
rope through the car window around
his neck. Shooting was expected any
moment, and some passengers left the
train, which quickly pulled away. He
was taken to Smythe county Jail. The
authorities have promised to convene
special grand jury for his case.
