dropped dead following an apoplectic
stroke at the last reunion of the regi-
ment known as the chamber Of com
ing tonight.
Within few minutes after the ven
cradle general fell to tho speakers

Edwin B. Parsons, a captain and mem
Der of the regiment, suffered a
paralytic stroke on the right side from
the shock of seeing his comrade fall,
and had to be carried from the place.
The old soldiers attending the re-
union-there were about l00-failed TO
grasp the situation for some moments,
and when they rushed to the side OF
their fallen commander they found him
dead.
They tried to arouse him, but the
pallor of his face told them it was use
loss. that the general had fought his
last fight and lost.
One by one the old soldiers turned
away They drew bandkerchiefs from
their pockets and wiped their eyes,
then knelt by the side of their stricken
commander in reverent attitude.
"Our Father, which art in heaven"
began one of the veterans, and an the
words left his lips the others joined in,

admit the great progress the country has
made in that tjme?"
He declared that during all of that
time the Republican party had been the
party OF progress, but that It had not

welt to steal delegates at that conven-
ton was the most high handed in the
history OF politics. He declared that

been third party started and that Col
onel Roosevelt would have stood upon the
Republican platform It was adopted
at that convention ''The third party
would never have been formed IL the
attempt at Chicago to steal the copven-
ton had been a success" said he.
He referred to Flynn, Perkins and
others whom he said were supporting
Roosevelt; "to say nothing of Anasias
and Munchausen. we have Bill Glasmann
of Ogden. who is one Of the chief sup
porters Of the party in Utah"
Briefly the speaker referred to the
Democratic party by saying that In the
last fifty years there had been thirteen
national elections and that eleven OF them
had been Republican. that In all OF that
time the Democratic party had been In
control Of the various branches Of the
national government but once and that he

ROCK GARY
LAST NIGHT

Three loud explosions in Gary last
night shook the whole city and for a
while many people thought that the
Aetna powder mills had gone on a ram
page.
The first blast was recorded in The
TIMES office at Gary at 1881 p. m, and
the second and third at thirty seconds
past 1916 p. m. So violent was the
third blast that 1t ratified windows and
shook buildings to their very founda-
tions. The rumblings from the third
blast continued for several seconds and
could be heard echoing and re-echoing
through the Little Calumet marshes.
A police investigation determined
that the explosions were caused by the
dumping Of molten Stag into Lake Mich
igan by the steel company.
