PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT,

Killed at Lenox in the afternoon.
The presidents nelghbors gathere,
to greet him when he left the Sylpl
and sheered Justify as he entered hi
carriage and was driven to his home
B1gamore Hill.
When the president reached Bridge
port from Stockbridge, he was met b,
the greatest crowd that ever gathered
In that city.
Every factory, every business house
closed Its doors as sign of thanksgiv
ing for the marvellous escape the Iresi
Dent had from death In the trolley cal
oollision at Pittsfeld.
At every station between Stock
bridge and Bridgeport news of the ac
Cident had preceded the presidents
b special train, and great crowds gave a
eaivo of applause as the chief execu
tive approached.
Mr.. Roosevelt made no speeches, but
he showed himself to the crowds, and
the enthusiasm was boundless.
The drive through Bridgeport 8
streets was one long ovation. There
was not a sign Of business In the city.
With one accord the people turned out
10 cheer the president and show him
their heartfelt gratitude for his almost
miraculous escape.
The president remained about an
hour and half and was escorted to a
stand In Seaside park where he had
intended delivering an address to
W0fkmen. He. however, excused him
self from making any speech because
of the accident, and at his request the
carriage was hurried away from it's es-
eort to enable him to board the Sylph,
where Mrs. Roosevelt and his son Ker-
INIT embraced him. The drive from
Dalton to Lenox across the Berkshire
hills the president had looked forward
to with much interest, and when he
awoke and observed a cloudless sky he
felt in good spirits little expecting an
accident such as came near ending his
life.
After breakfasting at the home Of
Governor Crane in Dalton he was driv-
en- In an open carriage directly to the
platform, from which he delivered a
short address. Although 1t was not
yet 8 O'Clock, a good sized crowd had
gathered to hear him. and while await
lng his coming a band discoursed
number of popular airs.
= After bidding farewell to Dalton he
re.entered his carriage, with Governor
Crane and Secretary Cortelyou. and
went across country to Pittsfield,
where he received warm and most
hearty greeting. His remarks were

"At 12 o'clock a salute o: fifteen guns
announced the arrival of the generals.
The division line had been formed and
extended for nearly half a mile-Bon-

Rhodes in the center, and Early's on
the left. Kemper's battery was near
this point on hillside. First in order
was the review. General Johnston,

followed by a numerous and splendid
staff In this order they passed up and
down the line. the band playing spirited
airs. On arriving at the right of the
division. General Van Dorm assumed
command, and at once prepared to
march in review in front of the gen.
erals. who had taken up commanding
position near the center. The column
in motion presented an imposing dis
play-the ground was rolling, and as
the solid mass OF bayonets would
glisten above the hill top the scene
was really very iIspiriting- After pass
ing. each brigade closed column in
mass, and formed three sides of
square, the open space being occupied
by the generals and their cortege. An
impromptu stand was soon furnished
by a caisson from Kemper's Battery,
upon which the Rev. E. Saunders, the
Catholic chaplain of one of the Louis
lana regiments, took his stand, and in
ferven: manner blessed the banner
with the Southern cross and afterward
addressed the troops. During this i'm
pressive ceremony every head was un-
covered and every voice hushed.
Colonel Jordan. adjutant general of
the First Corps of the Army of the Po-
tomae. then rode forward and made an
appropriate address. accompanied by
Generals Johnston. Van Dorm, and their
staffs. General Beauregard then dis
mounted, and advancing to the center OF

the several regiments. and in heartfelt
utterance. delivered to each regiment its
sacred trust All of the officers, on re-
ceivirg the Southern Cross made their
Acknowledgements in patriotic pledges to
do their duty. The bands then played
