1 LOUISVILLE ENCAMPMENT. THE GRAND PARADE. Election of Omcere-Net Encampment to be at St. Paul. Wednesday. The metropolis of Kentucky n ultima with patriotic enthusiasm thii morning. Through her wide streets and over her boule vards marched a her guest 30.000 of those who came once to conquer. Their pathway was banked by over a tnitdof a million peo ple, wbo gave the boys In blue a reception that will never be forgotten. , Men of southern birth and sentiment vied witu;thelr brethren from the north In tbelr de monstrations of greeting, and white-bntred women, who thirty year ago this week, heard of the approach of the blue coats with tear apprehension, petted and pelted them to-day with flowers. It wa a gigantic and elncere tribute to the sentiment tbnt M bead of the procession and which was worn to-day on bad Ret Innumerable, "One ling, one coun try." Owing to the railroad blockade and the consequent delay In the arrival of mnny of the poets that were to figure In the line, It waa not until nearly daylight thl morning that Col. Cohn and hi assistants had com pleted tbe order of the divisions. At hnlf past five five signal guns were II red to awaken tbe vetenana In tbe outdoor camps and school houses, but the detonation la t tbe effect of startling the whole city and rattling the china In many elosots. An hour later all vehicle traflln in the district covered by the line of narcn was stopped, the police roped oil the roadways from the sidewalks, and the de partment delegations nud individual posts began to form at the locations-designated. In the meantime the sightseers had com menced to turn out In a torrent, aud aide walks, windows and the public aud private stands filled up like mnglc. Owing to the complaints of veterans at previous encamp ments, that they were compelled to go over mora gronnd than their age or physical con dition justified, tho lines ol murcb were lim ited to two and a hull miles, and the change was a wise one, for the heat was Intense and the sun beat down with remorseless fury. Blx members of tlieLoulsvllle Legion were Instantly killed this morning by tho explo sion of ammunition in the enisson of a gun which was being driven to Phoenix bill for service in connection with tho O. A. It. parade. Tbe soldiers killed were members of Bat tery A and bclouged to a section of six In charge of one gun. Captain David Cattle man was In command. Tbe six unfortun ates were seated on the caisson. Tbe accident happened about S o'clock. The battery section was proceeding to l'hoe nlx hill to lire forty salutes In houor of tho O. A. B., and had reached a point between Avery and Hall residences on llroadwny, be tween Third and Fourth streets, when the accident occurred. The Legion bospl la corps was notified at once and hastened to the scene. THUIISDAY. Business and pleasure waa combined by the Grand Army folks to-dny. While tba delegates to the national encampment settled down to legislate for the good of tbe order and to select ofllcers for another yenr, the rank and file Indulged in the reunions tiiut of late years have become one of the most in teresting features of tbe encampment week. Out at Camp Caldwell and In the tents over at JelTersouvllle, as well as in the school bouses and other post headquarters, the sur vivors of Htate regiments and companies now Scattered throughout the couutry, met to-day to say "God bless you," once more aud to rehearse never-to-te-forgotten incidents on the battlefield. There were many ailectiug soenea as comrades who bad not met since . I. ...r .. r w. t nil,., I hoi. i. ... could not find expression in words and tbey fell upon each other's necks, while tbe tears streamed down tbelr wrinkled faces. There wore many ex;Confeilerates, too, who bunted up the reunion quarters of regiments with which they engaged in battle and made themselvea at home with their former foes. Thus in scores of place throughout tho city the blue and gray spent the day and evening In a federation that came from tbe heart and soul. TBI MSINEBB SF.SSfllN, For the meeting tue national muslo ball bad been handsomely decorated with natlouul colors, and tbe official flHgof the organization. Promptly at 10 o'clock Commander-in-Chief Lawler called the encampment to order. State Commander Kelly was present and greeted the delegates in behalf ol the city and Grand Army of Kentucky. The response was delivered by ex-Congressman S arner, of Kansas City. Then, niuld a seono nl wild en thusiasm and waving bats, Henry Watteraon, whose oration at Pittsburgh laat year brought the encampment to Louisville, was escorted to the footlights aud addressed the Grand Encampment In a speech lull of patriotism and good taste. Immediately after tbe excitement and ap plause bad subsided, the annual addresses of the comraander-in-cbief and the other gen eral officers were delivered. W. A. Ketcham of Indiana then presented the name of Col. Iven A. Walker, of Indian apolis for commander-ln-cblef as a represent ative oi tnai peerless and sturdy loyalty mat rescued the nation. He was a maa wbo stood firmly when unmerciful disaster seemed to follow and fasten upon tbe armies. lie had fought at Richmond, Terryaville and suffered in prison. T. 8. Clarkson, of Nebraska, said bis de partment had presented bis name as a can didate lor commander-in-chief. He would. however, decline to be a candidate against Comrade Walker and moved that the rules be suspended and that the adjutant-general be directed to cast the unanimous vote of tbe en eampment for Comrade Walker. Mr. Clark' son's aotion produoed a thunder of applause. The motion prevailed with a hurricane of oneers. When order was at length restored Commander Lawler formally declared Col Walkor elected.' He dirsoted some comrades to escort tbe new command' er to tbe platform, which was done amidst . enthusiasts shouts and cheers of the old vet .erans on all sides. Regarding tbe location of next year's en. eampment Thomas Anderson said he was au tborlzed by all tbe railroada west of Miaaouri to oner for Denver, a rate of 1 cent a mile. W. H. Powell reported that Illinois was In favor of St. Paul. Edgar Allen did the same for Virginia' Tba Maryland comrades weta anxious to have the Boampment for 1897 at Baltimore, and tbey felt that If It went to Buffala tbey would have do show two years nance, nearly ai; tna seut hern and eastern states fait the same way and a combination waa formed for St. PauL Hew York voted ' solidly for liaftalo, while Pennsylvania, Ohio as miaow gaveiueir eirengta to Bl. raul.

The deiegatea to the encampment found It dlflloult to get down to business after the motion created by she welcoming exeruisus. The scene- that follewed tbe eloalng words of tba fervltt oration ol Henry Watteraon was thrilling. Tbe speaker was. over come with emotion, and left tbe front of tbe stage. Man rose lu thnur seats aud not only cheered bat yelled. Tbey cried and cheered y turns, bugged eaeb other and themselves, and threw tuna, fans and handkerchiefs Into the air. But they were not ptvpared for the touching incident which Mluwi 20 seconds Mm .Tnnn A T.ocsn waa seated a short flu tanca hack of the commander-ln-chlel's stand and as Mr. Wntterson walked away from the i footlights with the tears coursing down nis cheeks. General Lawler took his hand and presented biin to Mrs. Logan. Neither could speak for a moment, and then tbe white- haired, moineriy-iooaing womeu iuu ms band in both of hers, and, when she found her voice, enld tremblingly: "I am glad 1 have been permitted to live to hear your speech." That waa all she could sny. Then she sat down and wept. IIIAT.

OUR INDUSTRIAL REVIEW. r0RK AND WAGES., The Frst Week of the Fall Season Prom Fromiaes Continued Prosperity. The statoot business during the past week, the first one of the fall season, fully Justifies tbe hopeful views taken for tbe past few months In these columns. On every band It Is admitted that restored prosperity Is not a matter of anticipation, but Hist It Is an as sured fact, and it is slowly but surely cover ing every every branch of Industry. It Is particularly gratifying to note the Improve ment lu the condition of labor In Its various branches. W hile some of the trades are not yet experiencing the advsntages due to the revival or business, a majority seem to regard the situation ns Indlcatln g not only a marked Improvement over that of a year ago, but nn Improvement tbnt Is likely to contluue. Tbe voluntary incrense of wages still goes on In many of the manufacturing centers; nnd this la an excellent Indication of a tendency that cannot be accounted merely temporary. The indications displayed for several months are being confirmed by these voluntary Increases, and the news of the enlargement and strength ening of lines of business. Tbe small num ber ot Instances reoorded of difficulties ex isting between the wage-workers nnd their employers Is another sign that has a signifi cance, and shows that the employe Is in a better condition at present than for tbe post two years. Furnacemen Want More Wages. The furnacemen at a meeting nt Hbnrps vllle, l a., decided to ask for another advnuce in wages. They want the same rate as paid Newcastle, Thla will make the fourth In crease In wagea In three months.

The English average record Is C3,ly miles an hour THE ADVANCE IN IRON. A Strong Feeing That the End Has Not Been Beached. The "Iron Age" says: There has been a little less excitement during the past week, and there are indications tbnt there may ue a temporary lull. While many urge thnt there be no further advance lu prices, there Is a strong feeling In tbe trade that the end Is not yet. In some directions labor Is growing restive ngulu, and it tnny be deemed prudent to avert any stoppage of work bv granting Advances In wages, lu the hope that the con sumer mny tie made to pay lor It. This Is particularly true ot uonueiiaviiie ooke, which will probably witness a rise in wages, with a corresponding advance In prices, which fur naces will he asked to pay. In the central West, Bessemer pig nud steel billets have been ruther quiet, although somewhat nivH. terlous intimations bave been thrown out that a very large deal In Bessemer pig is under negotiations. There bave been further sales ol basic pig. In the West tee Carnegie Steel Company has taken 10,000 tons add! tlouiil, making 85,000 tons: the Illinois 20,000 tons In all; the Neideriugliutta lnteresta nt Ht. Louis 12,000, and two other concerns 12,000 together, so that the Tennessee Company has now sold about H0.000 tons outside of sales to Eastern producers. Tbe steel rail makers bave decided to make the advauce fore shadowed by the steady rise in raw material. although it may appear at the first blush that ti atoll Is a pretty large jump. Tbe highest point has been reached In pig Iron produc tion in the history of the Industry, On Sep. teuiber 1 there wus in blast 2ID furnaces, making weekly l'J4,t29 gross tons of pig iron. Siuce the beginning of the month additional furnaces bave started and others nre getting ready, so that It looks as though the 200,000 ton mark would be reached before the end of the current year.

Tbe derision was In the form ot a letter to Mr. Iselln nud wns as follows: We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter protesting Valkyrie. We have given tbe matter our careful consideration, and be lieve that the foul occurred through tbe mis calculation of the distance between the two ynchtus at a critical mement. From our ob servation, sustained by that of others who were in good position to see, we find that tbe Valkyrie, In contravention ot section 11 ol raolng rule 10, bore down upon tbe Defender and fouled her by tbe swing ot her main boom when milling to straighten ber course. We also consider that Defender allowed Val kyrie sufllolent room to windward to pass clear oi tue committee boat, lour protest is, tneretore, sustained.

Under the agreement tbe workers are not entitled to an advauce ot 2 per f-nL un til tbe advauoa bas been at least ci a too on Dull bad sheets. FROM THE OIL FIELDS The Wlld-Catter Has Had Poor Luck in Finding Pools. With nearly three-quarters of tha year gone, and despite tha fact that there has been an unprecedented activity In oil operations, there bns sot been a single hew pool worthy tbe name discovered north of the Ohio river. Shooting and sleanlng out Increased the pro duction lor a time, but the reaction has set In and tbe oil wells are fast settling down to their normal condition and are producing but little more than when they began tinkering with them to Increase their production. The recent discoveries In Monroe connty, O., have developed on the part of operators an eagerness to get Into new territory. Tba fancy prices paid for leases Is evident that tha oil man bas a good bank account. A single Instance ot paying a big bonus Is that of the Associated Producers operating the Deist farm. A bonus of 1 10,000 was paid tor the farm, and nt tbe lime It was leased It waa located more than a mile from developments, and contains but 66 acres. It has been de monstrated, however, that the farm, was cheap at the price paid. The lour completed wells have all been gushers and every acre of the farm shows for producing territory. This Is one Instance of success, but tbere Is another side to tha story. Many Inrina In the vicinity ol tha Frelden pool were leased early In the excite ment at prices that ranged higher than that paid lor the Deist, aud yet they will never produce a barrel of oil. Up to tbe present time but six ot 18 tarms that bave been tested In searching lor nn extension to the Freiden development, have found oil In paying quan tities. The showing In tbe Dye-Brooks pool has been even worse. Aside from the two Dye Brooks gushers, but two small wells have been lound, though test wells have been drill ed in almost every direction, In the hope ot : finding a new lead. The Oxford Oil company's well on the L. M. Thomas farm, which cameln last Saturday at the rate ol 30 barrels an hour, is now down to 10 bnrrcls a day. Its rapid decline is not unusual for Keener sand wells. Two miles southwest ot Wilson ereek, In Washington county, O., Kelley Bros, A Co., have drilled through the saud on the Stephen Payne farm, and bave a duster. The paova Oil company's well on the Grey farm, near Braden pump station, Tyler county, W. Va., is causing a little flurry In that locality. Tba well la producing IM barrels a day and Its owners will make two new locations at once. Death In a Wreck.
