THE DATE SET FOR REUNION.
VETERANS WILL
MEET IN ATLANTA NIXTJULY.
ANNIVERSARY OF THREE BATTLES.
Commanders Of Georgia Camps Hold Meet
Ing In Atlanta and Make Arrange
ments for the Occasion.

The confederate veterans have de.
cided on the date for the great reunion
to be held in Atlanta next year.
A meeting Of the commanders and
representatives of all the Georgia camps
of veterans was held in Atlanta Friday
to take the first steps in arranging for
the great event. Ii was the recon-
mendation Of the meeting that the re.
union be held ut some time between
the Goth Of July and the Goth Of Au-
gust. The two battles of Atlanta were
fought on July 90 and %. The first
battle of Manassas on July 81. The re-
union will continue during three days
and it can thus be made to celebrate
three important anniversaries.
The final decision in the matter is
left with the committee appointed at
the Nashville reunion, but it is custom
ary for the committee to choose such q
time as is most pleasing to the people
where the reunion is to be held.
The meeting was called several
weeks ago by General Clement A.
Evans, for the purpose of inaugurating
plans for the entertainment of the
veterans who will gather in the Gate
City in 1898. More than 100 repre-
sentatives Of the Georgia camps were
present. General Evans presided and
opened the meeting with brief but
stirring address.
A resolution was passed calling upon
the representatives Of the various
camps to exert every effort to bring
every Confederate veteran in Georgia
to the Atlanta reunion.
Another resolution thanked the city
council for its cordial invitation in be-
half of the people Of Atlanta, and
pledged the hearty cooperation of all
the state camps in making the reunion
q grand success.
Thus the first gun in anticipation Of
the reunion has been fred. 1t is pro-
posed to have q great crowd in Atlanta
in 80, and resolution was passed
calling upon the camps in oil the coun-
ties of the state to appoint commit
tee for the purpose OF collecting sub
sistence stores aud money to assist
Atlanta in taking care Of the veterans.
There are ut present 90 camps Of
Confederate veterans in Georgia and
others will be formed before the re-
union occurs.
General Evans is highly pleased at
the success of tho first step taken, aud
looks forward to an unparalleled cele-
bration.

IVAN Wick ELECTED MAYOR
OF SECOND LARGEST MUNICIPAL
ITY IN THE WORLD.
SUMMARY OF The ELECTIONS.
OflcIal Counts Are Necessary To Decide
Results In Majority OF the
State Contests.

Robert A. Van Wyck, the regular
democratic nominee, was elected may
or of Greater New York Tuesday by a
plurality estimated ut $4,000. The
democrats captured all Of tho munich
pal offices and will be firmly entrench-
ed in power for four years, commenc-
ing on January lat.
Seth Low, the citizens candidate,
was second, with General Tracy, the
republican candidate, third. Henry
George, the younger, polled very
small vote.
Alton Is. Parker, democrat has been
elected chief Judge of the court Of ap-
peals and the republicans will have a
small majority, If any, in the assembly.
The day was most quiet one at the
polls, there being but little disorder
and few arrests. The vote was cast
early.
The result OF tho fight means that
Tsmmany democracy will for four
years at least be absolute dictator Of
public affairs in the greater city.
The showing made by the George
ticket was not surprise, as the death
Of Henry George practically killed his
movement. His son is u young man
who. while possessing considerable
ability, is practically unknown to the
people for whom his father laid down
his life.
The Democratic ticket was support
ed by all classes and all nationalities,
the Germans being almost unite for
it. The enforcement OF restriction
laws by the present administration
solidifed the German vote 10 the
democracy and gained victory m the
contest.
The polling came within about Co.,
600 OF the entire registration, which,
considering the weather conditions
under which the election proceeded,
was all that could be expected The
day was wet, foggy, 'muggy" to q de.
gree.
The final count in full shows Van
Wyck, 295, 1871; Low, 1883; Tracy,
10l ,S23-Van WycS's plurality, S.
800.
Outside Of Greater New York, with
thirteen districts to be heard from,
dispatches to the Associated Press
show the election Of sixty-one repub-
leans and seventeen democrats. This,
IL is believed, insures the continuance
OF republican control Of the assembly,
whatever may be the result in tho
Greater New York districts.
The final count for the state at
large shows Parker, democrat, 1884,.
9G7; Wallace, republican, $780, ia;
Parker's plurality, l43, 1875.

-Four People Killed and Seventeen IuJsred
In the wreck.

L
The Chesapeake and Ohio vestibuled
express, the +. +. ", from Cincinnati
TO Washington, was wrecked near Old
Shadwell, five miles east Of Charottes-
vile, Va, at :25 o'clock Thursday af-
| ternoon.
Four persons we're killed and seven
teen injured.
The cause Of the accident has not
been definitely ascertained, but II is
believed TO have been due to spread
ing rails. The engine left the track
on a sharp curve and was hurled
afiainst a rocky hill. All of the cars
except the dining cor and the Rich
mond sleeper, were derailed.
Two cars were plunged endforemost
down the steep embankment, and one
of them went into the Rivanna river,
which at this place skirts the tracks.
The day passenger coach and the ex-
press car were badly wrecked.
As the locomotive plunged from the
rails and overturned, Engineer Duke
was hurled from the cab and crushed
under the engine, besides being terri
bly, scalded by escaping steam. He
was rescued by his fireman and the
conductor.
AS soon after the wreck as possible
the uninjured passengers and the
trainmen began the work OF rescue
and aiding the injured. Word was
sent to Charlottesville, and the wreck
ing train, with physicians, was imme-
diately dispatched to the scene of the
wreck.
Among the uninjured passengers on
the train were Senator Orville II.
Plat, of Connecticut, Commissioner
of Pensions II. Clay Evans and Rep
resentative Walter Evans, of Louis.

A later dispatch states that the ac-
cident was caused by the breaking Of
an axle of the first truck OF the loco
motive. The train was making up
time and the engine left the rails on q
sharp curve and rushing into the rock
hillside with terrible foace, was COM
pletely dismantled. Two cars went
down into the river.

Both Republicans and Democrats Claim
Majority In Legislature.
A Cincinnati special of Wednesday
says: The democrats and republicans
Of Ohio are both claiming the legisla-

of four and the republicans say they
have majority on joint ballot of three.
So the senatorship is in dispute and
only the official count will settle it.
Summed up the situation is this:
Both sides claim the legislature and
both sides are already crying fraud.
Each state committee has sent out
messages to all of the respective county
chairmen warning them to be on guard
for fraud. Hanna claims the legisla-
ture and has issued statement to that
effect. Mclean claims the legislature
but declines to make public state.
