NEW XOEK,
April 30. It was
another blizzard.
Once again the
streets were block

travel was stopped,
the elejated roads
were glutted, busi

and the city sur
rendered to the
downpour. This
time it was a human
blizzard, a storm of men and women.
JJnst as a year and a month ago four
storms met over this then hapless city and

that was lo follow. Other scurries and
whirls of the black particles came out from
the, depots up town and across .the river at
breakfast time, and by 9 o'clock the four
fearful cjrcling galea that whirled 760,000
human flakes into .Broadway and Filth
avenue were blowing their mightiest. At
that time there' was no cross-town street that

The police'and their men agree that there)
(wert at least Valf a million strangers in'
town to-day. That gave the city a tem
porary population of 2,350,000, persons to
day, for to the 1,600,000 resident population
must' be added the 250,000 who come to
town every dav in the Tear except Sun
days, and who were more than represented
by the
Influx From the Near Suburbs.
, That- is to. say, that if any who usually
came spent the Say at home there were more
than enough-others to take their places.
Broadway and fifth avenue were jammed
by sightseers to-day, as no New York streets
were crowded before. The crowding began
at 8 o'clock, and there was no diminution of
it until after dark. It is estimated that,
with the people standing eight deep on both
sides of the 5-miIe route, the crowd must
have numbered 457,600 persons, in rough
figures. To these must be added the 90,000
persons on the big and little reviewing
stands, which makes a sum of 547,600 souls;
and then again, these must be swelled by
the persons who crowded upon the 4,000
trucks in the side streets. At an average of
25 persons to each track and that is mod
eratethis adds 100,000 more to the over
whelming multitude, and produces a total
of 647,600.spectators of the parade, without
including the enormous number that viewed
it from the windows, doorways and roofs.
At Iienst a Million Spectators.
If this estimate is over-larce because it
gives only a foot to each person to stand in,
it is equally wrong the other way in count
ing the people as standing eight rows deep.
As a matter of fact, they have stood Irom 10
to 15 rows deep. It is not wild guessing to
say that a million persons saw to-day's
parade.
One feature of the amazing spectacles
one huge block of the immense and solid
cube of people will live in the minds of all
who saw it so long as they live. For some
reason the police permitted the people to get
into the roadway of Pitta, avenue above
Madison square, and presently they blocked
the great thoroughfare solidly. The police
themselves, accustomed as they are to
crowds, were amazed afNthe wonderful scene
this produced.
A. Most Impressive Sight.
The sight was most impressive. From
Madison square to Thirty-eighth street, or
perhaps a block or more higher up town,
Hurray Hill rises higher above the general
level of the town. TJp that eminence Fifth
avenue looked like a vast human gutter a
trough bottomed and sided with humanity.
The people packed the stoops, and rose in
curving lines up the stoops at the sides. Far
as the sight reached, their heads and htte
formed a new and upper pavement of the
avenue. Some mounted police were sent to
disperse them from the roadway. They rode
to the face of the mass of people at Twenty
eighth street, but made no impression on the
solid multitude. They did not try. They
were not brntal. They simply rode up
against the wall of mankind and then were
stopped, and they ordered the people to
scatter. ,
The people were not obdurate. They were
helpless. They couldn't move. After that,
when the procession reached that point, an
other body of 40 odd mounted men suc
ceeded better. It scarcely would be be
lieved. The Day Marred by Brutality.
It sounds incredible that a day of nation
al thanksgiving should be marred bo brut
ally. But the fact is certain that the second
squad did by violence what the others failed
to do. They proclaimed war. Forming
their ranks into a wedge, with the point to
ward, the people, they spurred their horses
and pressed ahead.
Into the crowd they went, disregarding
the shrieks of the women and children, ie-
I soring those who fainted and fell, heeding
not at all those "whose feet, at least, they
trod upon. It was an act and scene that
strong, men cannot talk abont without
trembling with excitement. Fortunately,
there was some succor near. Mrs. Faran
Stevens, whose house is at the southeast
corner of Twenty-eighth street and Fifth
avenue, saw the scene, and, opening her
door, took in 100 of the women and children
-who were hurt and frightened and had
fainted. She gave them food and drink as
w$lL
Bow the Overflow Enjoyed Itself.
So much for the massing of the people.
There was an overflow of those who could
not see the parade. They made Sixth ave
nue, Lexington avenue and Third and
Fourth avenues lively with a sort of Fourth
of July' festivity. They were in their best
clothes, and were happy and smiling. Lov
ers hung on lovers' arms, and mothers and
children went hand in hand. Householders
and matrons from probably half the States
of the Union were in the throngs, staring
honestly and without self-consciousness or
shame-facedness at the wonders of the great
city.
Therewas little drunkenness. There were
few horse cars. The elevated trains were
packed. The day had opened under heavy
clouds, and' there was blowing a fresh wind
that made the soldiers complain long after
the sun came out, whenever they had to
stand in the shade. At 11 o'clock the sun
broke its cloud bonds and deluged the air
with golden lining. Even the Harrison
hoodoo, that has marred every ceremony he
has taken part in since he became Presi
dent, was overcome by -New York's luck, so
that' it was altogether a glad day.
The ribbons, red white and blue, of which
The Dispatch spoke yesterday, became

tion, xens ot tncusanus w women wore
them. One such bow-knot beautified a
woman. One such bow redeemed ill-fitting
gownS- and freshened seedy ones. Tens ot

The Men AM Decorate Themselves.
Then the men and boys bought medals
and pins and huhe them on their coats. kA

felt that to wear one of those bits of metal
connected him with the formal and mili
tary programme of the day. On Sixth

were selling centennial corsets, the queerest

someof the rustic matrons and the sparkle

due to theifonsciousness that under their
gowns they wore these glorious yet .sacred,
garments? Jhere' must be a pride that goes
with' jeweled garters, though the awful

A NOTABLE PBOCESSION
Wends lis Way From the Fifth Avenue Ho
tel to Old St. Paul's Church Presi
dent, Ex-Prealilcnt and Other
Important Persons Present.
The formal celebration of the Centennial
opened with the ringing- of the bells in all
the churches that had them. There were
services in many churches, notably in the
Episcopalian and the Hutch Reformed.
The old Hutch Church which now worships
at Twenty-ninth streeLand Filth avenue
sounded its thanksgiving with a bell cast in
Amsterdam in 1731.
The Dutch Church was the loyal one in
the dark days of the Revolution; the Epis
copal Church was a Tory body. It necessa
rily was so, for its clergy had to take their
orders from England, and most of them
came from there. .George Washington -was
a church man, however, and that is why he
went to St. Paul's 100 years ago, and" we
held special exercises there to-day. .

The Episcopalians are as jubilant to-day
as if thev were in good odor in thiscityiin
1789, wh'ich they were not. They say that
in this country their membership has in
creased far beyond the proportionate in
crease of the population, ,and that in this
city in the last five years their gain has
been more than 31 per cent against an aver
age gain of 3 per cent by all the other
Protestant sects.
A Most Notable Array.
This morning a .notable procession went
fromthe Fifth Avenue Hotel to old St.
Paul's, at Vesey street and Broadway. In
it were the President, Vice President, Su
preme Court Justices, Governor Hill, Mayor
Grant, Grover Cleveland, Rutherford B.

The distinguished guests had been taken to
their pews by Trinity vestrymen "whose
names are to a surprising extent reflected
in the names pf downtown streets, viz.:
Pell, Clarkson, Jav, Leroy, Morris and
Van Cortlandt.
From the church the people moved to the
platform built on the porch of the sub
treasury building, the site of Federal Hall,
on whose balcony Washington took the oath
as President. Wall street was packed with
people, and so was Broad street as far 'as
the stock exchange entrance. There was a
lesser crowd in Nassau street.
Police in great force kept order around
the temporary platform. Artillerymen were
on duty on the outskirts of the dense mass
-of people. The Free Masons had brought
down the Bible on which General Wash
ington took the oath, and in its. plush en
velope it rested on. a table once owned by
Washington. There was a chair of Wash
ington's there alsor for President Harrison
to occupy. Had Giover Cleveland been
President he could not have sat in it.

and the President followed in a short ad
dress, which was concluded by the benedic

The President had difficulty in finding his
voice at the outset, but presently he made
himself heard clearly "by all on tie platform.

America except on the assembling of the
troops in Washington at the close of "the

Mrs. Harrison saw the parade from the
balcony of Mr. Morton's house, at 85 Fifth
avenue. The balcony extends under both
front parlor windows, and was draped with
a great flag. Before the parade came along,
early in the morning, carriages began to
stop at the door with guests. Mrs. Stuyve
Bant Fish was among the first to arrive.
The other 'guests were Allan Thorndyke
Rice, Mri. Governor Beaver, of Pennsylva

John Jay, Mrs. Senator Piatt, and Mr.
Stuyyesant Fish. Mr. Fish arrived after
the parade had well started.
long before the first strains of music were
heard, Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Harrison en
tered the balcony through the parlor win

other guests grouping around, them. The

inclined, their heads in acknowledgment.
Tbey disappeared and reappeared' on the
balcony several times during tho parade,
but stuck to it pretty closely until 2o'clock,
when lunch was served for the -party in the
big dining room.
After lunch Mrs. Harrison and Mrs.
Morton reappeared with some of the guests,
but withdrew about 4:30 o'clock. At 7
o'clock Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Morton
dined alone together. At 8:30 o'clock they

The President, who had returned to Mr.

IsmCIAL TXIXOBiU TO THX DI3PATCH.1
NkwYoek, April 30. There were many
remarkable points abont to-day's, the great
est of our country's military parade. In the
first place, the city never was so clean on
such an.occasion. Not. all the thanks are
due to Street &iCS w-,Cm&yff n. It was the
two days' rain, that freshenedtne greets and
made their stones shine. Bat thev'qick
marching was the wonder of all who sawlL
It will be the wonder of all military .men
who.read of it and saw it anon.
It has been said that, to march 7,000 men
past a given point in an hour was considered
wonderful. The Dispatch reporters and
others counted the bodies to-day as they
swept along the avenne and "Broadway, and
invariably they were going at the rate of
9,500 an hour sometimes a few less, some
times a few more, but' always at that average
rate. After they marched breast to shoul
der nearly always ihe ranks stretched
across the wide street from curb to curb,
often with 22 men in each rank. The aver
age number, side by side, was 18.
MIOHIT CLOSE TVOBK.
The regular army were wonderfully close
together. The knees of the West Point
cadets fitted into the bends of the fellows'
legs ahead of them. Thus 11 miles of men
wereable to walk over ty miles of streets
in 5 hours. It was a beneficient accom--plishment,
proud for the men, comforting to
the people on the stands, valuable to the
men and women on foot.
The very first man in the great procession
was a stalwart, broad-chested one of im
posing height and evident great strength.
He walked with the officer in' command of
the first platoon of police. All the thousands
looKed at him, lor he was in civilian dress.
The million wondered who he was. He was
a reporter of The Dispatch jdstinfrom
Oklahoma and No Man's Land. Other
Dispatch reporters were on the stands, in
the' crowds, in the windows, on the roofs,
and among the troops at rest at Lower
Broadway and the down-town side streets.
Major General Schofield, at the head of
the troops of the regular army, was splendid
and gorgeous, commanding and almost royal
in appearance. His new, shiny blue and
glistening, gold, his"

and his beautiful horse all combined to
bring him constant applause. He is not a
Winfield Scott nor a Hancock. They were
majestic. Bnt he cuts a fine figure, never
theless. His staff made a splendid picture,
also. Two thousand or more regulars fol
lowed him. First came the cavalry and
then the infantry, and after these the "West
Point cadets in their gray and white dress
and with their wonderful step.
There were four crack marching bodies in
the parade tha West Pointers, the Cadets,
the Seventh" New York and tne Michigan
Military Academy prize winners. Each had
their admirers and partisans. The contest.
it is thought, lay between the Federal Cadets
and the Seventh Begiment. It should not
be forgotten, however, that the Brooklyn
Twenty-third won miles of cheering for its
beautiful marching.
The artillery and light batteries of the
regulars, with their polished steel cannons
and heavy jolting carriages, made a grand
showing. Then came the marines, the naval
'prentice boys and the sailor men, all in
blue, and all flinging their white canvas
legging tq.and fro beneath them like tho
feet of a giant caterpillar. The cadets did
well, looked finely and
WOlf GEEAT APF1ATSE.
The jack tars bowled and lumbered and
swayed along very amusingly but who
ever laughed at sailors? Who, that has not
a tender heart for them and a.little touch of
sentiment when they are seen or men
tioned? After the regulars came the home guard,
as they are called the militiamen of the
National Guard of the various States,
placed in the order in which the States
gained entrance to the Union. They made
the dazzling, the picturesque and pretty
part of the great show the part the ladies
liked. Each State's quota was led by its
commander-in-chief,the Governor of the.
State. Delaware a peacock blue band ex

doyernor Beaver, impressive, crippled by
the loss of his left leg, and lashed to his
horse, led the 8,000 .men of Pennsylvania,
the practical working'turnout of the State's
full force. He was in civilian dress. So
-were most of the Governors, though their
stan omceis were resplendent. The 8,000
Pennsylvanians carried all the impediments
of marching troops, that is 'to say, their
knapsacks, blankets, haversacks, canteens,
cupsand cartridge boxes. '
A BUST AND TUtED LOT.
It must hive been a sorry day for them,
for they were bn the road all yesterday and
crowded the elevated trains up to .daylight,
but they looked happy. General Hastings,
who is nationally admired, was looking his
best as the practical head of the troops.
Then came New Jersey's men, with Gov
ernor Green in command. His men made a
magnificent appearance. Pennsylvania had
come in cober State uniforms, but the Jer
sey men. wore their -differine- legimentals,
some of which .were gorgeous. Delaware
had 760 men, Pennsylvania 8,000, New
Jersey 3,700. Georgia sent only 35 men,
Governor Gordon and his staff. Connecti
cut should be proud of her men. The Gov
ernor's foot guards, with their grenadier
nats, red coats ana Dtm oreecnes, were lady
winners, and the Zouaves were very
"scrumplous," as they might say them
selves. There were 600 of these animated
wooden nutmegs in the line.
Then came the old Bay State, led by her
Governor and her 200-year-old Ancient and
Honorable Artillery, in their varying styles
of dress, for they are not dressed alike.
There were, 1,500 men of Massachusetts here,
among them a pair of corps" of cadets, one
in white, and one in red, that won great ad
miration. '
EACH DELEGATION, FULL.
The band of the 500 Marylanders played
"Hail to the Chief." The sober blue New
Hampshire quota of 1,090 men. la three
regiments', was a eoatrlbution like that of
Pennsylvania, of oil the soldiers of the
State.

not hear.
Fitzhugh Lee, of princely presence and
noble Southern lineage, was cheered to the
echo from the Bowling Green to Central
Park. Stout, broad, bearded; soldierly by
instinct and training, glorious in his uni
form, he was the proudest of -the Governors,
our own not excepted. He led 500 cavalry
men and artillerymen.
Then came the wonderfnl showing of the
'Empire State. Ninety per cent ofher men
were in line. 'They numbered 12,000, in 4
brigades, 18 regiments. 1 battalion and 5
batteries. They .were led by 1,000 officers.
"Some had conje from Buffalo, some from
Ugdensburg, some from Malone. AIL the

staff, with General Porter as his proud at
tendant, looked finely, and so did Brigidier
General Louis. Fitzgerald, whose staff wore
white breeches of the most immaculate
freshness. The Seventh brought out 1,021
out ot its quota of 1,075 men. The Brooklyn
men "were not as warmly greeted by our cit
izen's as they, deserved, but the Twenty
third marched so well as to wring applause
from all. After these bodies came the men of
North Carolina, Rhode Island and Ohio.3,050

There were 11,000 Grand Army men in the
ranks. The Belknap Bifles, of Texas, all in
white, were warmly greeted.
InalljJhere were 38,000 men in military
uniform in the line. The down-town streets

raw-boned New Hampshire men stood look

wives and children literally filled the air
with flying quotation tapes.
This is a new trick these people had dis
covered. They took an ordinary coil of

On Church street the Seventy-first, Sev

Companies of. the men kept visiting the
Sixty-ninth and cheering them. They
would pack the sidewalks around Colonel
Cavauaugh, who sat on horseback, and
after asking each other "ffho is Colonel Cav

war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his I
countrymen," in the singular concerted
way they have. They also asked what the
Sixty-ninth was, and then solemnly an
nounced that it was the bulwark of the
nation. The Seventh boys like the Sixty

more than brotherly affection.
'It was the middle of the afternoon when
the last of these time-stayed regiments got

Washington Democrats Think Ihe Olarviand
Senator Will Succeed Barnnm-
rSriCIALTILIOEAJt TO THE PISPATCn.! V,
Washington, April 30. The death of
Chairman Barnum, of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, naturally leads at once
to speculation as to his successor. " As there
will be no important work for the committee
for sometime to come, it is the opinion of
many Democrats that it would "be well to
defer the election of a new chairman Indefi
nitely, as the secretary can transact .all
present business.
The weight of opinion seems to favor Sen
ator Gorman as the shrewdest all-around
man among the Democratic managers, and
one whose methods are most similar to those
of Senator Quay. Among the rank and file
of.the Democrats around the hotels this
evening, a quiet hope is expressed that Gor
man may be matched against Quay in the
contest of 1892. Certainly Hon. William
L. Scott will not be the Chairman if the
sentiment of this rank and file prevail gen
erallyt as the opinion is fairly unanimous
that a man who was so wild as Scott in his
guesses in regard to Democratic success last
fall would not be a safe captain for another
campaign. Colonel Calvin S, Brice is ruled
out .for a similar reason, and because his
foolish methods are asserted to be responsi
ble, in a great measure, for the defeat of the
party.
Democrats here freely predict that the
pressure in Gorman'-e favor will be so great
that the committee will be forced to elect
him.

Somerset, April 30. The community
was startled this morning by the discovery
of another horrible tragedy. At an early
hour Jacob D. Sbaulis, a wealthy farmer 60
years of age, who lived in Jefferson town
ship, eight miles from' this place, was found
dead hanging to a tree back of his residence.
Lying in the barnyard, a few feet away, was
his young wife, shot through the body and
fatally wounded. Detective T. J. Pickine
hurried to the scene, and after an investi
gation arrested David and George Shaulis,
sons of the old man and stepsons of Mrs.
Shaulis.
They were brought to Somerset and lodged
in jail charged with the crime. It is alleged
that the old man committed suicide first and
then David, his son. attempted to kill his.
stepmotner, wno is only zo years ot age, to
prevent her inheriting the estate, the two
boys hoping by this means to secure the
property themselves.

New Yobk, April 30. Last night's ball
is the talk of the town to-day. Whether
the astounding reports of what happened at
that ball were exaggerated or not it is not
easy to say, but if they were not it is cer
tain that there never was a French ball irt
town so disorderly and unlicensed as the
great assembly became after the sapper
room was opened. There were too many
stories and they were to nearly alike for
there to be much exaggeration about them.
