dren and citizens formed on Union street.
AT the word of command a drum corps
started up spirited air and the process
sion proceeded 10 the Lutheran cemetery,
where the graves of the defenders of the
Union sleeping there were decorated.
The usual q. Il. II. ceremonies were per-
formed at the cemetery and details were
made 10 decorate the graves of the sol
diers reposing in the various other bury
ing grounds.
The procession returned to the court
house and the court room was soon filled
with a vast crowd all of whom were anx-
ious TO hear their eloquent young friend
and former fellow townsman, 4. ]. Col
born, Jr., of the Lackawanna county bar,

light-hearted happy girl, she entered into
an unfortunate alliance, which, almost,

Boston, Massachusetts,, January IL,

the United States opened here to-day
The cities represented are St. Paul, St.
Louis, Philadelphia, Omaha, New
York; Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Louis
Vile, Detroit, Columbus. Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Buffalo, Boston,
Baltimore and Pittsburg.
The league was organized IN this
city, five years ago, by number OF
leading commission merchants from
several Of the large cities, who believed
that individual or isolated communities
could accomplish but limited results
compared with an organization OF ns-
tional extent and influence.
The objects of the Organization are
to CO ~ mbine good, responsible commis.
sion merchants Of every large CONNER
cial center, and to work together with
growers, producers and shippers for
the general welfare of the trade. The
constitution sets forth that, inasmuch
as a large percentage Of the food pro-
ducts of the earth are handled on COM
mission, the commission merchant Is
and of necessity must ever be an I'M
portant factor in the commerce OF the
world. Horace S Baen. OF this city,

INDIANAPOLIS, Iud., January 49,
The monetary conventions second
days work began this morning.
Nearly all the suggested plans contain
endorsements Of the gold standard,
denunclation of fiat money, aad pro-
posals that greenbacks be retired and
that national banks be permitted to
issue notes to the full amount of bonds
held. The final declaration Of this
convention may therefore be assumed
to contain all these propositions.
A number Of schemes were sent to
the chairman's desk and some of them
were read. All were referred. Five
minutes being the rule. several speeches
by delegates expressed their views on
the monetary situation.
The committee on resolutions not
having fulfilled the expectation of an
early report, the convention took q
recess until this afternoon. = : 49,

WISCONSIN SOLONS.
They Assemble In Madison, To-day. For Live
Iy Session.

MADISON, Wis. January 13.-The
Legislature which assembled. today,
will elect United States senator to
succeed Hon. William F. Villas; and
there is but little doubt that John G.
Spooner, who, after six years. service,
left the senate in 1891, to mako room
for Senator Villas. will again step into
the vacant seat. There are other can
didates in the field, including ex-Gov-
ernor Hoard and ex-Congressman
Robert M. La Toilette; but it is doubt
full whether anyone OF them or all OF
them put together can defeat the Saw
yer-Spooner- -Payne-P -Pfister combination
and which is all powerful in the re-
publican politics Of the state.
Colonel Spooner recently severed all
connection with the receivership of the
Nor bern Pacific road in order that he
might go lpto the contest without be-
ing handicapped.
A mass of legislation has been pre-
pared tor the consideration Of the two
houses and the session will be anything
but tame.
