While there was morked demons.ra-
the scenes of the greatest enthusiasm
were witnessed as the different divi-
sions passed the reviewing stand and
were saluted by the distinguished gem
tlemen on the platform.
The Weather was Cool.
The weather was not only fair, but
quite cool, cooler than any day known
here for years at this season. There
was less demand than usual for the
water and other supplies that were in
readiness along the line of march, and
there were none that dropped out
from exhaustion, as is usually the
case. 1t was typical autumn day in
every respect, and the veterans gath
cred early for the great demonstra-
ton with unusual cheer and enthusi-
assn. The crowds along the way were
also kept comfortable by the cool
breeezes.
An Unfortunate Accident.

commissioners of Buffalo. He was
riding with the police commissioners
of this city and of other cities who
were on the staff of the chief in
charge of the police that headed the
procession. His horse slipped and
fell, and in the fall the animal fell on
Gen. Curtis in such way as to injure
his spine. 1t was at first thought that
he would not recover, but later in the
day his condition was improved. Still
it is believed that Gen. Curtis is Grip
pied for life.
There Were Many Reunions.
Previous to the parade there were
many reunions to-day, and some bust
ness sessions, including the ladies of
the G.. A. r., and the Womans Relief
corps.

Pennsylvania: treasurer, Miss Whit

Refreshments En- Route.
All along the long line of march
there were casks of ice water and lem
onade for the marchers, and in some
places they were literally served with
more substantial refreshments. There
were seats for the thousands along
Washington park on Race street and
around the post office and at other
places, while the house tops as well as
the windows and every place for re-
viewing the parade along the line of
march was occupied.

Another Theory.

Another theory is that the founda-

by water and crumbled away, drag
ging down the bridge. In that case
the pier would not show signs of be-
ing pulled towards the southern shore,
but would be directly in the channel
of the river. Only a thorough investi-
cation can settle the point

Cincinnati, Sept. s.-The national
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic had its red letter day.
Tuesday was bristling white, navy day,
for the men of the sea, and Monday
blue with its threatening weather
Rainy nights and clear days could not
have been ordered, however, to suit
the occasion better, with the reunions
by regiments, brigades and other or
ganized associations, day and night.
A Week OF Parades.
All week there have also been pa
rades daily. The labor parade opened
the week on Monday. Tuesday was
the naval parade, and Wednesday the
grand army parade, to be followed
Thursday by the civic and industrial
parade as a peace jubilee demonstra-
ton. The attendance in the city has
reached fabulous figures, according to
the estimates of two dozen railways
that have been taxed beyond their ca
pacity, but the arrangements were
such that none have wanted for food
or shelter, or suffered from heat or
want of anything.

What Capt. Bonner Saw.

Capt. Bonner,on the tug Beaver, was
a short distance below the bridge at
the time, and says that the southerly
span collapsed first, pulling the pier
and the next span with it towards the
American shore. The spans which fell
had just been completed, and the false
work underneath was being removed,
and it is possible that in some way the
bridge was injured.

Where the Accident Conferred.

The accident centered around the
pier nearer the south, or American
shore. 1t was about three minutes to
the noon hour when the workmen on
that part of the bridge saw two of the
southern spans giveway beneath them,
and they were crushed in the wreck.
None of them can give clear idea of
what happened, and there will prob
ably be expensive litigation before
the liability is placed.

The Contracting Companies.

The piers and mason work were built
by the Sooy Smith company, of New
nix Bridge CO., of Phoenixville, Pa,
The masonry, though not formally
accepted, was practically completed,
and all the men at work were en-
ployes of the bridge company. Natur-
ally, therefore, the tendency, so far
as it is based on the testimony of en-
ployes, is to blame the Sooy Smith
company. On the other hand, there
is the emphatic statement of an eye
witness tn the contrary

BalIington wanted No Secrecy.
The question of secrecy was the bonl
of contention all through the negotia-
tions. Ballington Booth insisted all
along that he had nothing to conceal
and that the meeting should be as free
as air. The general had demanded alb
solute privacy. The compromise on twj
witnesses followed.
Ballington Booth, accompanied by his
secretary, Colonel Hallimond and
Colonel Gardiner, arrived at the hotel
promptly at 4 p. m. About 10 minutes
later General Booth entered, accom-
panied by his daughter, Consul Booth

secretary. Colonel Higgins, and Colonel
Nicol
The general went to a room across
the hall from that occupied by his son.
Then there was a long delay. DIR. Hall

last effort to get his son to meet him
without witnesses. Ballington peremp-
torily refused. II seemed as If the whole
project would fall through but the gen.
eral yielded.

America, met yesterday ifothe Windsor
hotel m this city. But they were not
reconciled.
After several days of negotiations. the

The meeting was held in room IA.
There were present only four persons,
General Booth, Ballington Booth, the
Rev. Cuthbert Hall, representing the
Salvation Army interest, and the Rev.

Nothing transpired calculated to lead
to any union Of the two movements.
1T was agreed that all public contro-

COTTON MIL STRIKE.
Both Owners and Operatives Watching
tho right at New Bedford.


Boston, Jan. i9.-Grim determination
on the part Of both sides, coupled with
defined issue between employer and
employee, as well as practically an alb
sence of any sign Of demonstration,
were the features Of the second day in
the great contest In the cotton industry
Of New England. AS on the previous
day. interest centered almost entirely
in the strike at New Bedford, where
the disturbances of Monday afternoon
and last evening led to the belief that
the demonstrations might be repeated.
Nothing of the kind occurred. and the
strikers strengthened their cause by
making the question of fines definite
issue with the mill owners.
1t is just possible that an agreement
on this question may lead to some sat
isfactory ending of the whole matter
In that city, although at present such
an outcome seems far distant. 1t was
in a meeting Of the Weavers' union at
New Bedford that the question of fines
was taken up and made an issue by a
very close vote. The matter of finan-
cial support to the strikers was also
generally discussed, not only in New
Bedford, but in Biddeford, Saco and
Lewiston, Me-, and while the union
strikers seem to have no anxiety re-
garding the next three months the
nonunion men who are cut have feel
ing that they may not receive sufficient
support.
In Fall River the superintendent of
the King Philip mill, where there is a
strike, went so far as agreeing to rem
| edy union grievances. but other than
that there appeared no breach in the
line of the manufacturers during the
| day.
The hundred thousand operatives in
all six Of the New England states are
watching the contest in New Bedford
| Saco and Biddeford very closely, and
any signs of weakening on the part of
either manufacturer or operative will
be the signal for some general labor
movement the extent of which will be
unparalleled in mill history.
