military pageant ever seen in this city
There We're regular soldiers, regular
sailors, national guardsmen of the sea
and land forces, Grand Army veterans,
Confederate veterans and the striplings
who, in the future, may fight as gal
lantly as their fathers did.
When the cheering was at it's loud

died away, a touching scene was en-
acted, which was seen by few. Silent

been watching the gallant troops go by,

Colonel Fred Grant, made her way to
the tomb followed only by the mem
bers of the Grant family. The bronze
doors were opened, and the widow of
the hero passed from the noise of the
outside world into the quiet of the
tomb. For about ten minutes she
staid there, and then, with her face hid
den in her hands, she left the scene.
Soon after this President Mckinley
went aboard the Dolphin, amid BOOM
ing of guns and reviewed the great
warships that lay in the shadow of the
tomb. The dense crowds still staid in
their seats and watched the end of the
land parade. Then, when the last
company had passed out of sight on the
white road bed, the hundreds of thou

PORTLAND (Or), April 27.-An cleo

There were thirty-four people in the
car. The car was running down the hill
at a speed of fifteen miles per hour and
on reaching a curve fifty feet from the
bridge the car left the track. The mo-
mentum the ear had gained carried it
about 100 feet, when the timbers of the
bridge gave way and precipitated the
car into the lagoon twenty feet below.
The conductor, who was on the rear
platform, shouted to jump, but only a
few were able to get out.
The motOrman jumped when he saw
that he could not stop the car.
The water where the car struck was
only eight feet deep, and the car was
not submerged. In the fall the trucks

opinion, had seriously undermined
these bonds, and he predicts develop
ments of a most startling nature that
will take place in connection with Bos-
ton gas affairs. in a few days"
TO this Henry NJ Whitney replies
that he believes that the companies are
earning sufficient money to pay inter
est on their bonds and sinking fund
requirements, and will continue to do
this untilthe maturity of thebonds forty
years or more hence, and he concludes
by characterizing Mr.. I4awson's promise

To this Mr.. Lawson made the follow
ing answer The sound and fury Of
the coming developments / refer to will
fill Boston with just a trine more
noise than the foreign gentlemen who
are handling the New England gas
and coke scheme contemplate, and the
nothing which Mr.. Whitney refers to
will develop into something to make
these foreigners seek new fields more
congenial to their peculiar characters

nothing Mr.. Whitney refers to will
force a legislative investigation of Bos-
