JOHN A. LOGAN
MONUMENT.

amendments of the Constitution that
made freedom organic in this nation;
he was for equality before the law; he
was for the common soldier who had
felt, as he had at Donelson, the wound
which is the soldiers best decoration;
he was for the national honor, on land
and sea; for the army and navy, and
for force, if. need be, to defend every
right which ought to be recognized
without force"
The programme was completed short
ly after O'clock. The parade and re-
view followed. The troops, falling in
line in Twelfth street at the command
of Grand Marshal General Brooke of
the Department of the Missouri
marched north on Michigan avenue
past the reviewing stand. over 10000
men were in line, headed by a squad of
police on foot. The survivors of Gen
eral Logan's old regiment, the Thirty
first Illinois Volunteers, led the van,
proudly bearing the old regimental flag
tattered and torn by 200 Confeder-
ate bullets.
Then came the grizzled veterans of
the G. A. r., with barred heads in honor
of their first and idolized Commander
in-Chief With the veterans marched
the ex-Confederates, 200 strong. The
appearance of the veterans of the gray
was touching tribute of the man they
met in battle on the bloody field of
Atlanta. Behind the Southerners
marched with easy swing $500 regu
lars, the largest number ever seen to-
gether in the West since the Civil War.
Every branch Of the service was rep
resented, including eight troops of
cavalry. The Governors OF States with
their staffs followed and then came the
Illinois National Guard, 1000 strong,
under command of Governor Tanner,
as Communicating Chief. Knights
Templar and Knights of Pythias fol-
lowed to the number of 1000 The rear
was brought up by 1,200 Chicago mail
carriers and $500 uniformed detach-
ments of various civic societies not
bearing arms.
The pageant On land was supple
mented by the finest marine display
ever seen on Lake Michigan Grouped
around the revenue cutters Gresham,
Fessenden and Calumet which were
anchored just off the monument, were
nearly 200 vessels of the merchant
marine and private yachts all gaily
decorated for the occasion
Conspicuous among these, partly on
account of the coincidence of names
and partly on account Of its tasteful
dress Of bunting, was the vessel char
tered by the Chicago Press Club-the
Goodrich line steamer Atlanta
This evening a public reception was
held at the Coliseum for Mrs Logan
and other distinguished guests. The
reception was preceded by gorgeous
display Of fireworks in the Coliseum
Gardens.
The statue of General Logan was de-
signed by St. Gaudens, and is the
largest equestrian statue in America.
The figure of General Logan as it
stands on its granite pedestal Is
dressed in the uniform of a Major
General. He sits erect and bare-head-
ed, with his left hand grasping the
bride rein, while his right hand bears
aloft the flag. The endeavor of the
sculptor was to reproduce as nearly
as possible the scene presented as Lo-
gan rallied the troops before Atlanta
after General McPherson's death

Fifth Regiment Encampment.

SANTA CRUZ. July 22.-To-day
Tripe Hill was the scene of a skirmish
drill and target practice of the Fifth
Regiment, which was witnessed by
General Warfield and staff. This was
the first time any regiment has had
target practices according to the new
regulations. San Jose made the best
score and Santa Cruz the best official
score. The target practice was salts
factory to the officers, who considered
that the men did well for their first
trial under the new regulations.

been marked with his name, and the
message would have been signed He
also points out the fact that the mes
sage was not dated. After a careful
consideration of the atmospheric con-
ditions, he predicted that if Andree
reached the pole the air currents would
carry him out on almost the longitude
indicated, and land him eventually near
Point Barrow, on the north coast of
Alaska.
With regard to Andree's means of To-
eating the pole Professor Bigelow, the
magnetic expert of the Weather Bu-
reau, says he would unquestionably use
the navigator's sextant. The sun is al
ways above the horizon at this time
of the year, and there would be no
difficulty in getting observations.
MAY HAVE REACHED THE POLE.
WASHINGTON, July %. In reply
to Geographic request, A. w Greeley,
the Actic explorer, has sent the Asso-
ciated Press from Linden Va, the fol-
lowing signed statement regarding
the Andree expedition:
1T is possible that Professor Andree
may have reached the North Poie or its
as l have seen, state that ne started
with a south wind of twenty-five miles
an hour. The chances of such a wind
blowing 600 miles straight to the North
Pole are, however, very small, as it
would be extraordinary.
MY opinion of Andree's projected ex-
petition and his probable return were
expressed at the sixth annual Geo
graphical Congress in July, 1895. in
London, where I debated the subject
publicly with Professor Andree, and also
discussed the chances with him pri-
vately, and he admitted the extreme
haZardousness of the project, which I
strongly outlined. / pointed out that
even should he reach the pole he could
hardly expect to find a south wind con-
tinUing across the pole for a thousand
miles, as north wind. He expressed
his determination to go and his con-
fdence of returning safely.
While | believe that Andree will
never return, yet experience teaches us
that miraculous things occur daily.

IN MEMORY OF C. F. CROKER
Resolutions Adopted by the Di-
rectors of the Southern Pacific.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The di-
rectors of the Southern Pacific Com
pany met at noon to-day and adopted
the following resolutions in memory of
the late Colonel Croker:
Whereas, According to His in
scrutable wisdom, it has pleased AL
usefulness on earth our associate and
friend, Charles Frederick Croker,
Vice President; and whereas, the mem
bers of this board, in daily associa-
ton with him as the resident chief ex-
ecutive officer learned to respect him
for his high integrity and the innate
sense of justice which dominated his
business judgment and pervaded his
administration, to admire him for the
manly qualities which made him al
ways approachable, always patient and
considerate of others, and to love him
for his simple manners and uniform
courtesy, enriched by abundant SYM
PATTY and generous Kindness; there
fore be it
Resolved, That by the death Of Mr..
Croker the Southern Pacific Company
has lost an efficient officer, who COM
manded the respect of all with whom
he had to deal, and who had within
him the promise of yet greater infiu-
ence and usefulness and the members
of this board have been deprived of a
wise counselor, genial associate and
a beloved friend.
Resolved, That the foregoing pre-
amble and resolution be spread upon
the records of this board and a copy
thereof forwarded to the family of the
deceased
The selection of a successor to Mr..
Croker as President of the road
is matter that was in no way dis
| cussed at the meeting. and probably
will not be for some time to come.

CLOUDBURST IN OHIO.
THE ENTIRE YOUNGSTOWN
VALLEY FLOODED.
Great Damage Done to Property
and Many People Supposed to
Have Been Drowned.

YOUNGSTOWN CO.., July 22.-At Z
o'clock tonight a terrific cloudburst
struck this town, flooding the entire
valley and causing great damage to
property, both in the city and along
the railroad lines. Many people are
supposed to be drowned. The entire
county east and west for twenty miles
was flooded, and the damage will be
enormous, the railroads being the
heaviest losers.
The Erie Railroad west or warren
fourteen miles, and north of Sharon for
the same distance, was entirely flooded,
and orders were issued to discontinue
all trains. Many residences We're flood
ed, and the occupants were taken away
by the police and fire departments.
On every railroad leading into the
city comes reports of extensive wash
outs and bridges swept away, and rail-
road officials say the loss will be the
heaviest they have ever known.
At 1920 tonight came the first
tangible evidence of the damage done
by the storm. Along Crab Creek, run
ming into the city from the east, along
the Lake Shore and Erie roads and
emptying into the Mahoning near the
Lake Shore depot, cloudburst oc-
Cured about ten miles out, and the
water did not begin to rise much in
the city until after o'clock. At about
10 o'clock the water came down the
valley into the city, and formed into a
flood sweeping everything that was
not fastened before it. The Crab Tree
was not twenty feet wide, and the flood
spread it out to about 1000 feet. 1t
rose quickly, and in less than ten min
uteS the water was up to the second
stories of all the dwelling-houses in
the flood district, and was still rising.
1t is a certainty at 10 o'clock that none
of the people escaped from the houses.
The whole district was covered with
darkness, except on small places and
where an electric light shone. Firemen,
police and others were quickly out, but
We're powerless to rescue anybody, as
not boat of any kind was to be had
in that portion of the city. The cries
of the people in the house We're heart
rending to those who stood at the
waters edge and were forced to re-
treat slowly on account of the grad
ually rising water. Cries for help were
heard continually, but the crowd on
the shore could do nothing in the way
of giving it.
At midnight the water commenced
to recede rapidly, and the creek will
likely be back in its natural course by
morning

Band of Hogs Overtaken by

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-The
British ship Comliebank, which sailed
from this port this morning for Rio De
Janeiro with cargo Of wheat, returned
this afternoon with the police flag fly
ing. Shortly after the tow boat cast
off Mate Marshall issued some orders
which the sailors refused to obey. Cap
tain Storms was appealed to, but was
told by the men that no work would be
done until the watches had been set
This the Captain refused to do, and the
sailors, under the leadership of Joseph
Elliott, adjourned to their quarters to
discuss the matter.
Mate Marshall went to the forecastle
to reason with the men, and was set
upon by Elliott and one or two other
members of the crew and dreadfully
beaten. Captain Storms went aft when
he heard the noise, and was met by Ell
lott, who drew a. knife and ordered the
Captain to hold off, if he valued his life.
Captain Storms again tried to reason
with the men, but was told the vessel
was bound for an infectious port, and
that the men had resolved not to go on
the trip.
Captain Storms ordered the ship about
and returned to San Francisco. Elliott
was placed under arrest, but Captain
Storms will not prosecute, as the pro-
ceedings would delay the sailing of the
vessel for a long time.
Elliott arrived here on the ship Caro-
doe from Calcutta, and was arrested for
INSTRUMENTATION, but was released. On
the trip from Calcutta he several times
beat the mate almost to death, and
sWore on several occasions to kill the
Carodoes Captain and the crew.

at 500 900, and there was no insurance,
the owners are practically bankrupted,

mediately after the commission of his
crime, but managed to escape He was
finally captured by farmer at Barnes
willie and hurried off to Macon
| The excitement was supposed to have
subsidized until last night, when rumors
reached Macon that an effort would be
made by mob to take the negro out
OF Jail. The police reserve and militia
We're called out to protect him, and il
was decided to remove the prisoner to
Atlanta. At Griffin, forty miles from
Atlanta. near the scene of Williams
crime, the mob boarded the train, took
the negro from his guards, marched
him through the principal business
streets of the town to a point 200 yards
outside the corporate limits. where they
hanged him to a small oak tree. His
BODY was riddled with 500 bullets.
The members of the mob made no
attempt at disguise, and their names
are known in Griffin. Several of the
men were heard to declare that if they
mad the Mayor of GAINESVILLE, who
saved Williams from being lynched
when first captured by calling out the
militia, they would hang him by the
negroes side. Williams confessed to his
captors before they swung him up.
The sudden revival of mob violence
against Williams is believed by many
TO be directly traceable to the excite
nlent following upon the sensational
lynching of DR.. Ryder in Talbot Coun-
ty on Monday night.

Three 'EChivaIrOus'TeXans At

Dauas, Tex, Oct. IA special to the
News from Waco, says:
w. G. Brann, editor Of the IcOnOclast,
was publicly beaten by Judge J. B.
Scarborough, George Scarborough and
R H Hamilton The difficulty began
in the PrOvident building and was cOatin-
ued for half a block on the street, un
til Brann fell in a heap on the street
car track Brann was bleeding from
dozen savage cuts on the head and
face. In less than five minutes
thousand excited citizens had gathered
on the scene and there was every indi-
cation of trouble. Six shooters We're in
evidence. and for a time it looked as if
nothing could avert a killing, but the
sheriff and his deputies were on the
scene and forced the crowd back and
restored order.
Brann's assailants were arrested.
Judge Scarborough is a trustee Of
BahIor university and has a daughter
in the university. He says Brann's re-
cent attack in his paper on the uni
versity is what caused the trouble.
Young Scarborough and Hamilton were
students in the institution and say
that Brann's attack was beyond en-
durance.
Brann's assailants gave bond and
will be tried tomorrow. Excitement is
at fever heat and further trouble is
feared.
