presence of more than 1000 men and
women, hundreds being veterans of the
civil war; greeted the Grand Army Vet
Grams who are to make a months tour
of twelve States under the auspices of
the Republican National Committee,
when they appeared at the Auditorium
tonight.
The Veteran Union League of Chi
cago had charge Of the meeting, Presi-
dent Francis Riddle Introducing the
speakers. Five thousand people were
unable to gain admission. Nearly every
body brought small American flags,
which were waved whenever there was
applause or other demonstration. The
sentiment of the great army was patri-
otic to the core, and the tenor of the
addresses were largely military, inter-
spersed with jokes, miscellaneous anec-
dotes and war stories.
There was an overture from mill
tary band to begin with, then bugle
call, and the calling of the meeting to
order. Between the addresses came
campaign and other songs by quartet.
Bishop Samuel Fallows read a series of
resolutions setting forth the reasons
why the veterans of the sixties were for
Mckinley and gold, and pledging the
soldier vote to him.
General Franz Sigel of New York is
i'll, and will not be able to start with
the party General st. Clair Mulhol-
land was not present, although he is to
be one of the travelling party. General
Howard was heartily cheered when he
appeared. He made a short speech.
When General Daniel Sickles was
presented in an eulogistic speech the
vast audience rose en- masse and cheered
to the accompaniment of waving flags
and patriotic music Then three lusty
cheers were given for "the hero Of
Gettysburg
General Sickles said he came to Chi
cago in 1864 as Democrat to advocate
and vote for the reelection of Lincoln
as a war measure. He called on all
soldiers to stand up, and they stood to
man while they repeated the flag
waving and cheering scene. He said he
came to the West to talk to soldiers be-
cause they knew him and he knew
them. He judged that there must be
some beautiful fighting all along the
line. He characterized the doctrines
of the Chicago platform as those of an
archy, reputation and mob rule.
General Russell A. Alger said the vol
unteers of 81 to '65 would be seen
crushing through the lines of repudia-
ton on election day as they crushed
through the lines of secession.
General Stuart of Pennsylvania and
Corporal James Tanner of Brooklyn
also spoke. The party leaves tomorrow
over the Northwestern road into Wis
consin.

them. When Mr.. Bryan reached Por-
ter's he found but the members of the
Reception Committee. The journey
from POrterS to Dover was made over
the Pennsylvania road.
Mr.. Bryan reached Dover at 1922 a. m.
A big crowd at the railway station gave
him a cheer, and then drew his carriage
through the streets to the Capital Hotel,
where'a short reception was held. When
it was over Mr.. Bryan was spirited out
a side door down to the residence of
General r. r. Kenny, where he went to
bed.
Much refreshed by his nap, Mr. Bryan
went from General Kenny's to the Capt.
toI Hotel, where he had dinner and then
proceeded to the State Fair grounds,
where 5000 people received him with
cheers. The candidate was introduced
by Congressman John Nicholson at
o'clock, and made a lengthy address.
Mr.. Bryan ended his days work to-
night with two speeches in Wilmington
to large audiences. AT $50 he addressed
about 5000 people in the Auditorium
The building was packed, and when the
doors were opened there was a terrible
rush and some women We're badly
bruised. When Mr.. Bryan entered the
Auditorium there was wild outburst of
applause. AT the conclusion of his
speech in the Auditorium he addressed

HESTER GETS THE LOT.
The Lot Goes With the Gas
(. Plant, According to the
III. Supreme Court.

Another chapter In the Peoples
GAS company litigation was closed
Monday 10y the folio wing decision of
the supreme court:
John NJ. Nester, appellant, vs.. Philip II.
Gross ct al, respondents.
First-If one party obtains the legal
title to land by fraud or by violation of n
scientious manner so that he may not
equitably retain it. equity will impress a
constructive trust upon the property in
favor of one who is in good conscience
entitled to it.
Second-The principal defendant herein
was one of the promoters and inCorpora-
tors of a corporation of which he became
its first president. Before the actual
organization of the corporation it was
agreed between him and his associate
inCOrpOratOrs that he should purchase a
site for the plant of the incorporation and
the sum paid therefor was to be treated
as Il payment on his subscription to the
capital stock. After the corporation was
organized he paid pursuant to previous
negotiations with the owner the purchase
price of the site, taking the deed in his
own name. Concealing this last fact from
the corporation,h he entered upon the site as
its general manager by it's authority and
with its money erected plant thereon
for manufacturing illuminating gas. the
business OF the corporation.
Held that he holds the legal title of the
site in trust for the corporation or it's as.
signs. Judgment reversed.
Start, CO..
1t will be remembered that Nester
purchased the gas plant from the
assignee, and then Gross claimed
that the lot was not part OF the
plant, but his own private property.
The ease has been fought out in the
district court, and the supreme court
suStains NeSter's claim.
