Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1898-09-08


opened today.
1t was reported yesterday that Com
mander-in- Chief Goblin favored Shaw
of New York for his successor. AS
Shots of New York had not proven a
formidable opponent to Shaw, the name
of General Daniel S. Sickels was freely
used IN thar connection. Sexton of
Illinois had Geen regarded as favorite
in the race for commander-in-ch un-
til the reports were circulated about
General Gobin's administration being
in favor of Shaw. General Goblin de-
MED any aggressive work in favor of
any candidate, but admitted that he is
an old friend of General Shaw An
derson of Topeka and Mack of San
dusky were reported as hoping to see
the contest between Shaw and Sexton
become so bitter that one or the other
of them would be taken up as a COM
promise candidate. The contest be-
tween Philadelphia and Denver for the
next encamplnent is also quite AMI
mated, with the friends of Kansas City
in the hope of winning as a compro-
mise locatl
The weaC1er for the G.. A. r. parade
yesterday was not only fair but quite
cool, cooler than any day known here
for years ut this season. There was
much 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 i'll every re-
spect.

ranged by the IS counties, with their
respective bands, and with Major George
B. Fox and staff in command The
posts from the counties were fol-
lowed by Ohio regimental and other as
sociations and the whole comprised
great portion of the parade. This divi-
sion of the parade was over mile in
length. All along the long line of
march there were casks of ice water
and lemonade for the marchers.
There were seats for thousands along
Washington park on Race street and
around the postoffice and at other
places, while the housetops, as well as
the windows, and every place for re-
viewing the parade along the line of
march were occupied.
The average time in passing given
points was a little over four hours, and
the general estimate of the mum Der in
line was between %, 900 and $4,000. It
was noticed that some who wore the
uniform of the order were among the
spectators along the line of march.
Most of them did not feel able to pa
rade although the day was as cool and
bracing as in November.
There were no serious accidents re-
ported, except to General Curtis, one of
the police commissioners of Buffalo
He was riding with the police commits
sioners 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.
eral Curtis in such way IS to injure
his spine. 1t was at first thought he
would not recover, but later in the day
his condition improved. Still it is be-
heved he is crippled for life.
