THE PLANS COMPLETED
REUNION OF FOURTH IMMUNES
AT FREDERICKSBURG.

AS the reunion OF the 4th Immune Regi-
ment at Fredericksburg. July 4. approaches
the men who served during the Spanish
war are becoming more interested, and the
slogan Of ION to Fredericksburg Is more
general. The committee having the reunion
In charge is besieged by persons seeking in
formation as to rates, time of trains, accom-
modations. ETC., and for the first time can
now give the desired information. The fare
will be $1.65 on all trains leaving the Penn
sylvania station for Fredericksburg July 3.
and on the morning trains Of July 4. This
makes the rate for the round trip equal to
one fare.
The committee has also received replies to
Its letter of invitation from the department
and various camps of United Spanish War
Veterans. the Grand Army of the Republic
and the Confederate Veterans Association.
and the prospects are that the historic old
town will have large crowd to care for.
especially on Independence day. The citi-
zens' committee assures the veterans that
it will be able to care for all. The decora-
tons are being put in place and the town
Is gradually assuming holiday attire. and
everything will be ready for the inspection
of the reunion committee, which will leave
this city on Sunday.
The fact that the old opponents of 1861 Go
are to fraterniZe at this reunion and march
shoulder to shoulder can be easily explained,
for the reason that the 4th Immunes was
probably the most cosmopolitan regiment
organized in 1898. or in any other year. In
it's ranks could be found the sons of men
who fought for and against the Union in
the civil war, and men who had been Indian
fighters and in service on foreign soil. The
regiment was raised in Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland and the District of Co
lumbia and had for some of its officers the
r,ffi ,f
crate fame as Pickett, Longstreet, Wise,
Preston. Peyton. Throckmorton, Berkeley.
Marshall, Johnson, Holmead, Clinton,
Woodside. Monroe, Baldwin. Lipscomb.
Barbour, Treadwel. Coots. Parker. Maloney
and others. while the Union side was repre-
sented by the sons of Pettet, Cole, Landon,
Henry, Phillips. Mellach. Starke, Broome.
Wilson. Brian. Browning, Jolley Wright,
Leary and others, and, strange as 1t may
seem. the sons both officers and privates,
were about equal in numbers.
These boys of 1898 drilled and learned the
maneuvers of war amid the scenes where
their fathers struggled in deadly conflict,
and here they learned the value Of true
conn adeShip.
The department commander of United
Spanish War Veterans and his staff will
