onel under Wallace. OF the regimental ott-
GERS, only General McGinnis, Major Elstun

jurcd at his home a few days ago and
could not attend. He wrote letter, how
ever, expressing his regret and hoping that
he might be able to meet his comrades at
future gathering.
Members of the regiment, as soon as they
registered, were given white ribbon badges,
on which were printed the important bat
ties in which the regiment participated.

more than the renewing of old friendships.
Old times were talked over until noon,
when the ladies served dinner in the hall

at the short business session held after
dinner. The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year:

Among some of the relics of the regi-
mentS which were on hand were the old
flags, now so fragile from age that they
cannot be unfurled lest they tall to pieces.
They We're gazed upon and fOndled reVer-
emily by the veterans. VIII G. Phipps also
displayed the corporal's blouse which he
to size scarcely large enough for ten
year-old boy, and is almost falling to
pieces. 1t still bears the blood stains which
it received at the famous battle, and the
bullet hole which wounded the wearer is
plainly visible. Across the breast is a
piece of white bunting, Which is a part of
the white flag taken at the surrender of
Fort Lee Vicksburg. This flag was Sc
cured at the time by Mr.. Phipps, and he
cut it into bits and presented a piece to
each member of the regiment.

RACING At FLEETWOOD.
2;11 Pace Won by Highland Lassfe
After Dropping One Heat.


NEW YORK Oct. 19.-The last meeting
began to-day with fair weather, a good
track and lively, speculative crowd. The
card was a strong one, as the 2:14 class and
the 2:45 class for trotters and the PIG pace
had fields of high quality. For the 2:14 trot
the black gelding. Record, was the hot
favorite at $25 to $40 for the field, while in

gray stallion, o. M. s., cold for $40, and
the bay mare, Halo. at the same. The bay
gelding, King Chimes, started off to win
the 2:14 class in short order and landed the
first heat with ease, but in the second had
a desperate finish with Pastoral, who was a
nose behind him. In the next two heats
Glenmore Boy won by a length, with Pas
toral lighting factor all the way round,
drive down the stretch. In the 2:16 pace,
Highland Lassie won the first heat by a

take in the fourth, taking the lead and win
ming by two lengths. The finish of the 2:14
class and the 2:45 class so over to to-mor-

NYE'S WIDOW In WANT.
Failure of n Bank Has Reduced Her
Income to a Pittance.

ASHEVILLE, n. c., Oct. 19-Disasters
thick and fast have fallen upon the life of
Mrs. Clara e Nye, widow of the late f. w.
Nye (Bill Nye) the great humorist, since
his death on Feb. %, 1886. Once in compar-
alive comfort and ease, Mrs. Nyes present
income does not exceed $500 year. Every
dollar of ready money she had in the
world, amounting to $1,000 was lost in the
First National Bank of Ashevilie. which
closed its doors on July 81 last. Mrs. Nye

public which has heard so many good re-
ports of Miller will have an opportunity to
Judge of his merits.
There is a possible explanation for the
elopement to England of Thomas O. Sea-
brooke and Mrs. ALI Hampton in an inter-
view with Elvia Croix Seabrooke wife of
the runaway operate comedian. This in
terview, published two weeks ago, while
Elvia Croix was singing at the Tivoli Opera
House, San Francisco. taken in connection
with a fact that has come out since Sea-
brooke and jeanette Lowrie sailed, gives
rise to the suspicion that Seabrooke and his
wife had a clear understanding Elvia
Croix began divorce proceedings in San
Francisco recently, and announced further
that soon as her divorce is granted she will
become the wife of William West also of
the I1voli company. She came East soon
after, and the Sunday before Seabrooke
sailed the couple met and discussed their
domestic affairs i'm Philadelphia Before
leaving San Francisco Elvia Croix said:
Il have instituted proceedings here. and
Will do so in the East we'll. / will leave
for Philadelphia on Monday to fulfill an en-
gagement with the Castle-square Opera
Company. After that, if the gods are good
to me and 1 can get my divorce without
any trouble, Mr.. West will join me some
where out of this State and we will then be
married. The only trouble l anticipate is
that Mr.. Seabrooke will turn Stubborn and
not allow me absolute divorce. You see |
would not allow him one when he wanted
it, and he could not get it without my con-
sent for we are both Catholics. However,
l hope there will not be much trouble from
him" 1t is evident from this that Sea
brooke was determined to assist his wife in
obtaining a divorce. His elopement gives
her all the evidence she requires. In the
meantime ALT Hampton, husband of the
woman who has gone with Seabrooke, and
who is remembered in this city as the
young comedian who looks like Nat Good
win" is sending up howl i'll New York
because his wife before sailing secured
their three-year-old child, ALT Hampton,
jr., and hid him away where the husband
cannot find him.

THE "OlLY TOM" CLUB.

during the recent municipal campaign to
further the candidacy of the Democratic
candidate for mayor, is Disguised with the

Mores are authority for the statement that
the club is so disguised with the scant
courtesy that has been given its sugges-
tions with regard to appointments that the
name has been changed to the IDLY Tom

that it's recommendations with regard to
the appointment of the third men,

disregarded. Last Friday night there was
a meeting held at which votes were taken
as to who should be supported for the two

pastor of st. Pauls Universalist Church of
this city, created a mild sensation to-day
in his welcoming address to the two hun
dred delegates to the biennial National
Conference of the Universalist Church DR..
Garfield said that the Universalists' doc
trine had become so widely accepted in this
country that other denominations are TAX
ing up the liberal spirit, while at the same
time they show no signs of relenting in
their harsh feelings against their teachers.
THE Universalist Church is not going to
longer suffer its ideas of Christian liberal
ity to be appropriated by other churches
and at the same time be held up as a heret-
zeal institution" He continued, I'VE are
tired of this business. We have inspired lib
eralism in the other churches forced them
TO teach more human doctrines and we
want credit for our work or have the finger
OF scoTn dropped. The aCdfcss was re-
ceived with manifest approval.
