HU Anwnal Address at the Reunion of
the Boolety, Whioh Is Held Beneath
a Blf Olroui Tent.
Chattanooga, Sept. 10. If one may
judge of the events of the lost ten day the
Mason and Dixon line has been wiped off
the map. . The friendly, brotherly feeling
that Iim been displayed here this v9elc.
and that was shown at Louisville lOK
week by the boys of the Gray towards the
boys of the Blue, the bitter sectionalism
that has go long divided, tho Union llo
longer exists.
Kor nearly ti fortnight now, the doors of
the south have lieen opon for those Who
onme here thlrty-threo years ago bearing
arms of slaughter and destruction. Not a
single Incident that would indicate a feel
ing of hatred on elthor side has been re
corded. "Yankees" and "Johnny Rebs,"
grown gray with years, havogono over the
great battlefield together, discussed the
ovontsof those awful days, drnnk together",
and even In soiiio Instances slept together
without stirring up anything like an
angry thought. Generals who commanded
armies for tho Union have been the guests
of tho generals of the Confederacy, and
each has solemnly declared that there la
"no north and no south."
Chattanooga la an enterprising town
With 40,000 Inhabitants. Doth the town
and the people have every look of prosper
ity. The people have done as muoh for
the entertainment of their northern vis
itors as any ono could wish. At early
dawn the town and surrounding country
awoke. In loss than two hours there was
a general exodus from town to the battle
field. Thcro were bands of muslo followed
by regiments of militia. There were
thousands upon thousands of battlo-scarred
veterans, and thore were thousands upon
thousands of men, women and children,
who personally never knew what war was.
Thoro wore carrlagqs, wngons and vehicles
of every dosoriptiou in which the people
rode.
Tho cars, electric and steam, were loaded
to tho guardrail. Jinny of tho vast throng
looked ovor tho field of Chlokamauga,
sadly remembering the awful scenes In
carnngo and death they had witnessed thoro
thlrty-threo years ago, but all felt a thrill
of joy to know thntohl wounds had healed
and tho hatred was no more. Such were
tho conditions that prevailed yesterday at
tho preliminary oxercises attendant upon
the dedication of tho historic battlefield
and the National park, which will ooour
today.
It Is doubtful 'if P. T. Barnum in his
palmiest days ever saw such a crowd at
his circus as assembled beneuth one of his
old three ring touts in this city last night.
The ocoaslon for this great gathering wns
the reunion of tho Society of the Army of
the Cumberland. A large number of vet
erans belonging to tho Society of the Army
of tho Tennessee, who came here -from
Cincinnati, were present as guests. Tho
veteran, Gelioral J. I). Morgan, of Quiucy,
Ills., vice president of the society nnd who
is now past "80 years of age, presided
In the absence of General Itosecrans, tho
president.
When tho meeting had been called to or
der General Morgan Introduced Mayor
Oohs, who made the address of welcome.
Response wns mado by General II. V.
Boynton, secretary of tho association.
Following General Boynton, General Mor
gan made an address of wolcome to the
Confederate veterans, after which, Senator
Charles Mnnderson, of Nebraska, deliv
ered the annual address to the society.

HOW OROPSKY GOT HiS POWDER.
Secured Employment and Credit For the
BxplralTt M a Heir lace and After
Firing On Sola Qttlta With
the Supplies aa Profit.
The old saying that "thcro are tricks in all
trades" is as applicable to mining operations
as to other Industries, and probably more so
in many respects.
Councilman D. K. James, who Is inside
foreman at the Cambridge colliery, has un
earthed a now trick. Yesterday morning
one Anthony Orofski was given Work at the
mine and after receiving a keg of powder and
two rolls of blasting paper he started work in
a breast. He stayed long enough to fire one
insignificant hole and then left tho place,
taking the powder with him.
When James heard the man had disap
peared he commenced to figure on the situa
tion and concluded tliat, as the powder and
paper hail been sjld on credit and Orofski
had earned no money and taken the powder
away, the colliery was out the value of the
explosive He went before Justice Williams
and caused a warrant to be sworn out for
Orofski's arrest and 0. ft I. Policeman Daniel
Bedea executed it in short ordor. Orofski at
first denied that he hail taken tho powder,
hut caved in after some argument and paid
seven dollars to covor tho costs of powder
and suit, whereupon he was discharged.
From tho accused man's statements it be
came evident tliat the trick is leing worked
Unite exteusively and when successful a
couple of dollars can be eamod Tery easy.
For instance a man goes to a colliery aud, as
Orofsky did yesterday, secures employment
with credit for powder. After firing a small
hole he can leave the place without arousing
suspicion, by simply saying that ho does not
like tho breast, can't make money in it, or
something to that ellect. If he succeeds in
getting away with the powder, which has
hardly been touched, he carries it homo and
either sells It to a friend, or starts work at
anuther colliery with powder that costs him
nothing.- Orofsky admitted tluit ho had
secured work at another colliery and intended
starting there to-morrow with tho keg of
powder ho got from the Cambridge colliery.
A nunc official stated to-day that the dis
closures in the Orofsky case furnishe a
solution to the mystifying'shortages tliat are
frequently found in the supply accounts at
the collieries. There are times when powder
and other materials disappear and no audit
ing, or other process of figuring, can account
for them, Although everything appears per
fectly legitimate so far as tho clerks are con
cerned, and tlftre is no doubt that any man
who takes work at a colliery aud leaves it
under the samo circumstances as Orofsky did
will be watched carefully to see that ho does
not walk home with a keg of powder, or some
other kind of supplies, up his sleeve.
The official quoted said it is almost im
possible to keep abreast with the tricks
concocted by some minors of the foreign ebiss
to which Orofsky belongs in order to lteat the
companies out of supplies aud gain credit for
work that is not performed. It is owing to
the dirty work of these people that the
companies aro obliged to enforce rules that
sometimes work liandshipa on the honest
workmen,
