O. A. Parsons, one of the appointed

verbal reoort. In which he paid partlc
ular compliment to the patriotism and
Americanism of the South of today.
The opening rpeeeh of Henry atter
son. he said, was the most patriotic ail
dress he ever heard, and he never wit
nessed greater enthusiasm than when
th strains of "The Star-Spangled Han
ner" was reached In a medley played
by the grat band, and which "ix-ned
with the tune of "Dixie." Two or three
thousand persons, 'reported Mr. Par
sons, arose and cheered for the common
flag. It was a terrifies outburst, and
bore testimony that the war was, In
deed, a thine of the past.
Mr. Parsons commented upon the ab
sence .f liquor drinking among the
delegates, and f iid he had been told
by the head bartender In one of the
leading hotels that only four drinks of
Intoxicants had been sold over that bar
on the preceding night to veterans
This statement created no end of fun
as many of the members kept up for
several minutes a running fire of re
marks at Mr. Parsons' expense, sug'
testing that he had himself been tin.
dertne Influence or that the bartender
was a liar. This Incident was a sample
of the spirit of fun which cropped out
at Intervals during the afternoon.

l eant of Pood and story.
When "began the banauet at Han
ley's the large dining room contained
but few vacant chairs, and the as
semblage Included many persons of
prominence from this nd other cities.
No elaboration had been Attempted
by the caterer, the repast being a dis
play of substantials best calculated to
n.tkfy the soldier and his Inner-man.
Tho service was attentive, quick and ex
cellent, and when the menu had been
discussed the tnnqucutters were in
proier humor to enjoy the feast of
reminiscence that followed.

President Lathrop. who presided,
made no set speech, but quite Informal
ly announced the purpose of the gath
ering; Its pleaures and benefits.
.. Colonel Fslrman'a Address.
Colonel James Falrman, of New York
city, of the Nuiety-rtxth New York
volunteers, was Introduced as one who
always knew what to say and bow to
. . , ' f
say H and the comment was borne out
by Colonel Falrman's remarks. He
spoke of what the war lost and Jtrt'ned;
It lost three-fourths of a million of
brethren, embracing north and south,
and gained - an Impregnable govern
mental fortress. 'In Epeaklng of heroes
he tald all were 'heroes, but the pris
oners were unique heroes; they ren
dered greater service than those In the
Held theirs was a Gethsemane of suf
fering and waiting. -Most of them lay
last night, he satd. In uncofllned graves.
We cherlt-h th living In their gray
hairs and hope for something that will
come from the example of what they
have done. Let us keep the memory
green for tho ehlldrtn. The. memory
suggests what? It suggests what was
accomplished the greatest, grandest
most glorious country In all t'he world.
He represented that the epithets of tho
southern press against the penslon
'! is an evil that rhould be ivip?d out.
The Eoldicrs of this country, he said,
are 'held .in less reverence and respect
than In any despotism on the gl.the. It
Is a peculiar fact that among people of
the north the soldiers are t'he most
charitable toward the old foe. We
hold out both our hands to them to
night; we can afford to do 'It, because
ours Is a united country and our coun
try is a coMmon bond.
Miss Dickinson Absent.
President Lathrop regretted the un
avoidable absence of Miss Susan K.
Dickinson, w ho last year was elected
an honorury member of the associa
tion, and who was to have spoken
about "The liyal Women of the War."
However, Miss JXcklnaon's manuscript
had been received, and was read by
Colonel Hippie. It will be produced In
tomorrow's Tribune.
N. S. Harrison, of (Montrose, told
"The ..Midnight Alarm or the First
Denth On the I'lcket Line of the Sev
enth Pennsylvania Heserves." It was
an unusual incident, and the climax
of Mr. Harrison's story earned the ap
plause of his hearers. It transpired
that the d.ath was that of a cat.
which had been 11 red upon by a timid
picket.
"The Capture and Release" of Kd.
A. Niven, the well-known Wilkes-Harre
newspaper man. and secretary of the
Wilkes-Harre board of trade, was told
by that gentleman himself In his most
peculiar and happy and popular vein.
He was fortunate In being Imprisoned
only a few day In Llbby prison, when
he was released through the Influence
of a friend In the confederate army.
Mr. Niven really had a good time for
several weeks, as he wan paroled and
posed as a contract surgeon In Rich
mond, Anally getting back to the Union
lines. It was u good story, told as
a literary man would write it, and It
greatly pleased the fancy of the speak
er's Interested audience.
.Miss l.ncy I. nnev's Appeal.
Miss Lucy Laney. the negro woman,
whose father and brothers had helped
so many prisoners to escape from the
Mocnn, tla., stockade, and whose pres
ence In Scranton had been announced
by Hev. Dr. lgan, at the afternoon
business ni.-etlnc made a brief but pol
ished speech. She thanked the veter
ans present In the name of 8.0"i0.00
negroes for the blood that saved 4.010.
000 of her people from slavery at the
time of the war. She made an appeal
for their advancement, and Impressed
the fact that they are good American
cltliens, and are capable of a higher
development than Is usually believed
probable.
Colonel 'Meredith L. Jones, of the
staff of tleiier.il 1 Kiubleday. treated, in
an Interesting way, his subject, "With
Doubledav at 4 Jettysburg." He con
tended that the llrst day (ieneral
Doubleday's command retreated In
good order, panning at proper Inter
vals to fire, and that the retreat was
not a rout as It has often been de
scribed. Further, he said, it has been
Incorrectly stated that the first day's
lighting was conducted with "varied
success;" the retreat was not defeat;
Doubleday had retreated over his own
ground, and In srood order. While he
had not pushed the enemy, he had kept
them at a distance which was all that
had been expected. The Incorrectly
called "varied success" of the first day
In which tleneral Doubleday's division
bore such an Important pnrt, prac
tically determined the result of the
three day's battle as Seminary Itldge
was held, and that position eventually
was a part of the key of the great
fight.
How lie Captured Richmond.
"How I Captured Richmond" was t'he
subject of 4 1. A. IVirsons, of Wilkcs
Harre. but the atory revealed how the
spiaker was iilrmelf taken, confined in
l.iUy prison and then wmt to the pris
on at Sal sburg. N. C. He rend extracts
from a diary covering most of the peri
od following his capture. The details
proved of uniwual Interest.
"The Your Itoys of lSHl-Th Old
Hoys of lM.i" was the subject of John
T. Howe, who w-a full of the real sol
dier humor and ild not mince words In
the emphatic statement that the boys,
the rank and file of lsfll became the
generals of 1163 and 11CI and decided the
remit of the war.
Hev. Ir. W. H. P-orce was present
ami had been asf isrned tosptsk on "Our
Priceless 4!lfta to Our National Life."
Pret'Ment I.athrap announced that Dr.
P.artv was called from the room to re
spond to a reo,u-t to perform a mar
riage ceremony, but that the minister's
absence shout I be excused, ns his errand
was for "union." an object which al
ways meets with the approval of sol
tilers. "Luxuries of 'Prison Life," was t'he
top c assigned Major K. W. Pierce, who
told of things not luxurious but of a
nature calculated o bring tender feel
ings to the guests present who knew
Httle of the 'horrors of Confederate
prison life.
"Tho Hear floards end Ptroigglers"
and "A Topic Open for Discussion" by
some Impromptu speaker, was omitted

a Prsctlcsl Hearing
The odd looking mound of mcchln
Ism which for , years has been stand
ing on the Ontario and Western swlth
at the Providence road crossing Is
there no more. Thousands passed It
daily and It has always been the cause
of much Inquiry and comment, how
ever, but few who did not read and re
member The Tribune's account of Its
construction and purpose could tell
anything about It further than that It
was a track-taylng machine. The
machine Is now on Its way to Lima,
O., where Jt will be used In the con
struction of new railroad under the
direction of Its Inventor, Robert K.
Hurley, of F.Ieetrle avenue, North Park.
Mr. Hurley has spent years and a
mint of money In making ami perfect
ing his Invention. He proved Its prac
ticability about three years ago In the
construction of a railroad In the south.
Many Improvements suggested them
nlves while the machine was at work.
To remedy what defects the practical
test brought out and to perfect the ma
chine according to the new ldvta gained
Mr. Hurley had It shipped back here.
Working and experimenting have been
going on daily all this time nnd now the
Inventor announces that he has a track
laying machine 'that Is all he hoped
and planti'led for when the Idea llrst
presented Itself to him.
Thp machine Is built on a flat nr,
which 4s supposed to precede the con
struction train bearing ties and rails.
The section hands build the leved road
bed and the machine does the rest,

The sense of the meeting was that
the coal trade at last showed signs of
permanent Improvement. Heporta were
that the various coal railroad lines
were disposed to work In harmony,
and that the prospects for a restora
tion of the trade to something like a
business 'basis were more hopeful than
for several months. , ,
