with a supplemental welcome address by
Mayor Gustav Tafel, of Cincinnati, and by
M. E. ingalls,, chairman of the citizens

and Chesapeake & Ohio Railways. Gen.
w. 3. Melish also spoke. There was excel
lent music for the opening session and the
hall was elaborately decorated. In his re-
sponse Commander-in-chiefJ j. p. S. Goblin
referred most eloquently 10 the attractions
of the week and the lavish entertainment
of the citizens of Cincinnati. General Co

his old comrades of the Forty-seventh Penn
sylvania Regiment and on the assembling
Of the encampment he was presented with
a fine gavel made of historic wood
The encampment will have much work in
considering the proposed revision of the
ritual and also In considering propositions
for amalgamation. 1t is believed that the
proposition to make those who participated
in The Hispano-American war eligible will
not prevail, the latter-day soldiers will
want separate organization. There is
more sentiment in favor of uniting those
who fought on both sides In the same war.

Confederate Veterans to meet with the G.

QUARANTINE RAISED.
Mississippi Puts New Orleans ON Her
Visiting List Again.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. S--The State
Board OF Health tonight issued an order
raising the quarantine against New Orleans.
The action was based on a report from
Inspector Dunn, stating that the two sus-
picious cases of fever, about which there
was a disagreement between Dr. Carter and
himself. had been removed from the city
and thoroughly isolated. He, therefore,
advised the removal of all quarantine re-
strictions. THE general situation is more
encouraging said DR.. Hunters secretary
tonight. Il do not expect any further
spread of the disease, except at Taylor's
Station and in the vicinity of Orwood. The
prevailing cool weather is having a good
effect Eight new cases of fever are re-
ported at Taylor's and two at Orwood.'

Governor Mount VIII Review This
ell in Special Trains.

The news from Washington last night
stating that the Twenty-seventh Indiana
Battery had sailed from Porto Rico on the
Concho and would probably reach New
York by next Wednesday, will be cheering
to many Indianapolis mothers and wives.
The dispatch says that five officers and 16A
men have sailed. This would seem to leave
number unaccounted for, but it may be
that detail was left to guard property.
Representative Overstreet will meet the
battery in New York and aid it in every
way possible. No sick members of the bat-
terry have arrived on any of the transports
already in from Porto Rico.

as to the hour of arrival after the regimenN

Governor Mount received letter yester-
day from Colonel Smith. dated Knoxville,
Sept. 6. in which he said he would arrive
Friday night Saturday morning. This
letter was of an earlier date than that to
Mr.. Hawkins. In it the colonel said:
"At this time the indications are that We
will arrive in Indianapolis either late FRI
day night or Saturday morning. VIII wire
you when any definite arrangement has
been made as to the exact hour of our de-
parture and arrival in Indianapolis. Unless
present arrangements fall through, how
ever, we will arrive at the above time. prob
ably Saturday morning"
Major Cleland, the paymaster from Chi
cago. suggested a possible reason for the
delay. lie said the regiment was probably
waiting to be paid before coming home.
The pay roll was not sent to Chicago This
idea is confirmed by advices received last
night indicating that the regiment was paid
yesterday.
Under the orders of DIR. o. S. RunLels,
the state hospital at Camp Mount was con-
sideraby enlarged. 1t is not known how
many sick men will have to be cared for

The plaza Fountain.

For a long time Mr.. Wales, city
street and park commissioner, has had
q good deal of trouble whenever the
fountain in the plaza needed cleaning,
and it needs cleaning so badly at pres
ent that there has been a good deal of
comment on the subject. The HERALD
reporter went to Commissioner Wales
and asked him when he was going to
attend to it. He was informed that
Mr.. Wales intended to Gle an it out next
week. 81 an busy now watching the
erection of this flag pole, and 1
haven't got the time to clean out that
pond, but the next time clean it out
am going to fix it Np so that 1 will
not have to go and borrow a pump
and hire extr1 men to pump it out dry.
am going to have Sc Wer connections
put in so that WHENEVER the water
needs changing all I'll lhaye to do is 20
turn off the valve and, let the water
drain out, and then Wash the basin
and turn in fresh water, thereby saw
ing good deal of expense and trou-
ble.'' Commissioner Wales didn't
think that the connection with the
sewer and work on this matter would
cost over one hundred dollars. and
would in time pay for itself.
