A HEARTY WELCOME HOME.
Michigan Naval Reserves Receive a VerI-
table Ovation - Largest Crowds
Ever Seen in Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 22.-With hon.
ors befitting them Detroit citizens
yesterday welcomed home the Michi-
gan naval reserves, who served
throughout the war on the auxiliary
cruiser Yosemite. A special train car
ried party of relatives and friends to
Toledo yesterday morning where the
men were given their first welcome.
On alighting from the train at the
depot in Detroit, the reserves were met
by one of the largest crowds ever seen
IN Detroit. The revenue cutter Fes-
seudcn fired a salute of welcome, all
the steamers on the river and the
locomotive whistles Ginning in with
shrill blasts.
Amid the cheers of thousands the re.
serves and n military company which
was waiting to do them honor paraded
through the principal streets
1t was a veritable triumphal process
sion. Windows were filled and roofs
crowded, all waiting to cheer the first OF
Michigan's returned heroes. The men
presented a fine appearance, being
bronzed and burned until they looked
like the Spaniards they had being
fighting.
After being reviewed by n party of
officials and friends, the men were dis
missed and went to the homes they
had not seen In four months. To-day
the reserves will be mustered out of
Uncle Sans service and become civil
ians again.

REAR-END COLLISION.
SIX Persons Killed Oaeright and Twenty
Six Iniured-TerrlbleS Scene About
the Little Station.

SHARON, Mass, Aug. ga fright
full rear-end collision occurred in the
Sharon station of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad at 1880 last
night, when an express train, which
was running as the second section of a
long train crashed into the first sec
ton, composed of local cars.
As result six persons were killed
and &c seriously injured. The injured
were nearly all removed to Boston on
a special train, which was met by am
balances and surgeons. The rear car
of the local train was completely de-
molished and a portion of the second
car, while the engine of the express
train was crippled.
The two trains which were in the
collision were usually combined in one
long train, but rs the traffic yesterday
was SO heavy it was divided, the first
section running as local accommoda-
tion, while the second, which started
from Mansfield Is minutes later than
the first, ran as an express.
The local train due at Sharon at 7:02
was 13 minutes late. 1t left Mansfield
on time, making two stops and had
field and Sharon. 1t was due in Can
ton Junction, the next station beyond
Sharon, two minutes ahead of the ex-
press train, which should have passed
ii there.
Sharon is situated on a curve, and
both the outward and inward tracks
are protected by electric block signals.
There were about thirty people in the
last car and most, at the time of the
accident, were either uOon~the front
platform or standing by the door.
The scene about the little station at
Sharon was a terrible one. A large
corps OF surgeons and two undertakers
arrived soon after the accident, and
Immediately set to work to relieve the
suffering and care for the bodies of the
dead, There were very few lights
about that portion of the track where
the accident occurred, and the sur
geons were compelled to do their work
in almost total darkness.

Long before the sunrise guns were
Gredat Castle William, Governors Is
land, the people were astir. Crowds were
nurrying to the river to be early on the
scene. The New York and New Jersey
shores were crowded with people. The
river and bay were literally alive with
craft and the craft alive with people,
all cheering and goOd-natured. An i'm
pIessive scene was when the flags were
hoisted on the forts and tllgships. As
the starry banners were raised aloft
the bands of the forts and on the flag
ships played the Star Spangled Ban

Things Went smoothly.

There was very little friction in car
rying out the programme and no more
delay than was to be expected. The
citizens committee left the foot of
COrtlandt street on the steamer Glen
Island and proceeded down the bay fol-
lowed by long retinue of all sorts
and description of craft. At Tomplxins-

bands playing
The Shores Lined with People.
Staten Island shores were literally
lined with people, and they joined iG
the general acclamation with the peo-

shrieking of steam whistles and the
hOsannas of the throngs on shore and
water, the mayor and the committee

The Event of the Day.
Then came the event of the day.
There was considerable wig wagging
on the gray battleships, and the po-
lice boats formed in line. Then came
the Glen Island, and then the battle
ships began TO slowly move up the bay.
There was a salvo of cannons and
cheers of people, and the toots of thou
sands of whistles made an indescriba-
bic din.

The Pageant In Line.

Soon the monster pageant was in
line. First came Admiral Schley's
flagship Brooklyn, then the Massa-
chusettS, Oregon, Iowa, Indiana and
Texas, and after them a moving
mass of all sizes and descrip-
tions, with flags waving and peo-
pie cheering. The great battle
ships moved slowly and ma jestically.
As Governors island was passed there
was a tremendous report from the
guns that did so much execution at
Santiago and Guantanamo. The people
on shore and aloat went wild with
patriotic eXuberance.
A Scene Never to be Forgotten.
And 50 it was all the way up to Gen.
Grants tomb, where there was final
demonstration of patriotic fervor such
as New York has never witnessed be-
fore. The pageant was viewed and
cheered by hundreds of thousands OF
people 1t was a magnificent and in
describable scene, and one never to be
