were impressive and pathetic. Under
a bright sun and sky through densely
packed streets and with the applause
of countless thousands to cheer them
on, the followers of the lost cause
marched through the city which is
dearer to the old confederates than
any other in the land. 1t was a sight
to stir the enthusiasm of the most
sluggish nature, as, with bands play
ing, companies moving and col
ors flying, the parade passed re-
view. Two hundred children, boys
and girls, wearing white and
red sashes followed the police, who
cleared the way and led the process
sion. The chief marshal, Gen. Gordon,
in civilian dress, looked a royal COM
mander, as did Gov. O'Ferrall, who
rode with barred head. Mrs. Jefferson
Davis was in an open carriage and
bowed and smiled as the cheers greet
ed her on every side. 1t was estimated
that Is, 900 people marched in the pa
rade. Nearly 200 Missourians were in
it, and Oklahoma and Indian territory
were each represented by a camp.
Reaching the park, the corner stone
was laid with masonic ceremonies.
Gen. Stephen d. Lee was the orator of
the occasion. In closing his grafton
he said:
In calmer years, when the last ember of sec
tional feeling has burned out, and the last
word OF love has gently bound the hearts of
all Americans together, fathers will bring
their little children Co this spot and tell them
the story Of pure, great man who suffered for
his people and for the right they under
stood it, and how for this they loved him as
they loved no other. Long as yonder noble
river shall roll its tide to sea, it shall behold
no man more kingly. He was perfect, gentle
knight May the story of his life be sweet-in
days TO come, and at last, all men come to
derStaud Jefferson Davis

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Crop Conditions i'm tennessee.


The week was characterized by warm
days, cool nights and plenty Of fsunshine,
but closed cool and pleasant. The pre-
cipitation was confined to showers, and
while some counties report damaging
excess, others have experienced drouthy
conditions and complain Of an imme-
aiate need of material rainfall. This
IL particularly true of East Tennessee,
but at this writing the prospects are for
continued fair weather. Showers de-
layed both thrashing and harvesting,
and wheat is reported sprouting in
shock. Both wheat and oats are prov
ing a Disappointment Where condi-
tions have allowed, corn is practically
all laid by and is developing rapidly.
With few exceptions cotton is reported
excellent. Few chinch bugs and grass
hoppers in middle and western sections,
but no serious damage. Fruit is drop
ping and promises ordinary, but the
berry crop is large and excellent
quality. Pastures and stock are hold
ing their own fairly we'll. Many fields
Of Irish potatoes are said to be worthless,
while others are excellent and sweet
potatoes promise much better. Con-
sidered as a whole, the State needs a
good soaking rain at once to revive the
rapidly failing conditions and restore
the feeling of confidence that prevailed
during the early part of the month.

did not appear on the poll book of either
party and he was challenged. There was
a man with him who explained how Ii hap
pened that the name was not on the poll
books and offered TO swear In the voter.
This ended the argument, which had lasted
not over three or four minutes. Usually
such an occurrence there would raise the
cry OF fraud and would result in some
broken noses. but yesterday all was differ
ent. Even the poll book holders had no
serious argument over the matter.
In the Fourteenth ward IL seemed at 3
O'Clock as If the claim that the Republicans
would carry IL would be made good. This
ward is normally about 900 Democratic, but
IL mas such a large sound money German
vote that II was expected that this major
ity would be very much reduced, and dur
ing the last few days some %sanguine people
have claimed that the majority would be
entlrely wiped out. Those who watched
the vote yesterday thought at 8 O'Clock
mat this would probably be the case.
FROM the time occupied by voters i'm the
oooths II is supposed that there was a
great deal of scratching. This is especially
true OF the Twelfth and Fourteenth wards.
II was noticed that the Germans of the
Fourteenth ward and many of the voters
OF the Twelfth ward. who nave always
cast Democratic ballots. remained an unus-
ually long time in the booths. All this was
taken to mean that they were scratching
IN favor of Mckinley and possibly for
other parts of the State and county ticket.

AT STATE COMMITTEE ROOMS,
Chairman Martin Receives kilograms
from Counties.

In the reports that came into the State
committee rooms during the day the Re-
pubiicans seemed to be having the best Of
1t. Republican county chairmen from all
over the State wired in reports by noon
showing that they were getting the Repub-
hcan vote out handsomely. In some heavy
Republican precincts efforts to obstruct by
various forms of delay were noted, but
these did not last long. The chairman Of
Hamilton county wired that many Demo-
Gratis were giving up the fight early in the
day. and the reports from all around were
favorable.
Chairman Martin. of the Popocratic State
committee, eceiyed1return at his private
headquarters I'm the Grand Hotel. He re-
ceived a goodly number of kilograms dur
ing the day, most of them declaring that a.
heavy vote was being polled and they were
holding their own. The chairman of Dear
born county wired: I'VE are feeling the eff
fects of Republican money at Lawrence
burg and Aurora The chairman of Fay-
cite county wired: Evidences of pub, ic-
~importations," and the Muncie man tele-
graphed: Republicans getting in their
crooked work" When things are going
against them, county chairmen have a hab-
1t of putting forth these claims that they
are being beaten by fraudulent means, and
these kilograms quoted were taken as in
dicatiOns that the Popocrats in these coun-
ties were getting the worst of it in the
voting. o

An Excellent Educator.

The officers and employees of the Pennsyl-
ysnia line. located at Columbus. o., v
organized a club to be known as the Penn
sylvania Progressive Club, and an inter
esting course Of lectures has been arranged
TO be delivered from time to tim during
the winter. The first was delivered on Sat
urday by S. W. Miller. of the motive power
department of the Panhandle, on steam
heating. Mr.. Miller had the three different
systems of steam heating fixed upon three
cars and locomotives. showing how the
Pennsylvania has improved ON steam heat
since its organization, also showing that
the had not as yet made a
standard. but was still improving in order
that the travelling public might be benefited
as we'll as the company. as the Company
the only proper way of heating trains.
There was quite q number of passenger
enginemen present as we'll as inspectors.
and all claimed that they had been greatly
benefited by it, in fact the president and
secretary have been asked to have Mr..
Miller give the lecture again in the near
future. 1t is the aim of the officers of the
Progressive Railroad Club to give enter
esting lectures curing the winter for the
benefit of all railroad men. The next lee
ture for railroad men will be on 'Interlock-
ing switches and Signals" Invitations
have been sent to the different railways for
their employees to join the club. The club
now has very nearly 300 members. Mr.. s.
p. Bush is now having built at the shops a
complete valve motion model, which Is
needed very much.

FIRST FOUR WARDS.
A Heavy Vote and an Early One-Re-
publican Gains.

In the First ward. in the majority of the
precincts, the vote came out early, and
was larger than usual. by 10 o'clock half
the vote was In. and by the middle of the
afternoon only the ~stragglers had not voted.
In sthis ward it looked as il the Repub-
licans were making large gains. There are
many factories in this part OF the city. and
Il was the belief of the Republicans that
ley. This seemed especially true with the
Democratic employees OF the Atlas engine
works. Several OF them who were sent
after by the Democratic wagons refused
TO accept the ride. for the reason that they
were not intending TO vote with that party.
There are also a good many railroad men
and a few street railroad men in this ward
and a large colored vote. The railroad men
voted an uncertain ballot. IL Is the i'm
preston. however. that there is little
change from the poll-book vote among this
class. The street railroad men are all con-
sidered Republican. The eolored voters
gave the Republicans the most trouble.
There are a number OF them who hide
away until the last moment.
NJ . o'clock the eleven precincts of the
First ward had cast a total OF 2.IS7. of
which 1880 were accredited Republican.
This shows a Republican majority of S07
against a normal plurality In the ward Of
about 400. With three-fourths OF the vote
in IL looked then like "a certainty that
there would be a big Republican gain.
There were few unusual incidents noted In
this ward The day was unusually quiet.
Everybody seemed to be fully absorbed
