CHICAGO, Aug. 27. The 8th annual
encampment of the G. A. B. which was
formally opened last night by the mon
ster meeting In the Coliseum, was In full
blast today, and In all respects It prom
ises to be the greatest and most success
ful encampment th Army has ever held.
AU last night and all of today train after
train loaded "with veterans and their
friends rolled Into the various stations in
the city, and by evening It was estimated
by railroad officials that fully ,000 old
soldiers had arrived, and that S,OC0 other
excursionists had come -with them. It is
expected that there -will be 50.000 addi
tional arrivals by tomorrow morning. The
veterans have come from all parts of the
Republic, and every Northern state has
sent a strong contingent. The New- York
delegation is one of the largest that state
has ever sent to an annual encampment.
Fully 1000 had come in by this morning,
and every train from the East brings
more. New -Jersey, Pennsylvania and the
"Now England States are all represented
by large numbers of old soldiers. Iowa,
Ohio and Indiana and Wisconsin have
Bent larger numbers than to any encamp
ment of recent years. General J. W. ICei
for, of Ohio, and General Bragg, of "Wis
consin, both said today that they looked
to sco tomorrow the greatest number of
old soldiers that had marched at one time
beneath the Stars and Stripes since the
memorable review in "Washington at the
close of the war.
The first day of the encampment was
one of Ideal beauty, in marked contrast
to the hot and humid weeks that have
preceded it since August L There was in
the early portion of the day a fresh
hreeze off Lake Michigan, tempering the
heat of the sun, which shone brightly,
but not too warmly to make marching a
burden for the old veterans who claimed
the day was theirs. The right of the lino
on the opening day was given to the men
who sailed the seas during the Civil "War.
The cheering today was- all for them,
and all the honors wore theirs. The Army
will come to its own tomorrow.
Naval Veterans Parade.
The heroes of river and sea of the Civil
War are a small band now. Of the 132,000
men enlisted in the Navy in the days of
the war, less than 1000 marched today,
and it is agreed by the old sailors that
their number was greater in the march
today than it will ever be in any parade
to come. But one battle-flag was carried
by the naval veterans. It was one that
fluttered from the monitor "Winnebago
-when Farragut sailed into Mobile Bay.
It was borne by Seaman Ed "Woodruff, of
Rockford, III., and beside him marched
ex-Boatswain's Mate J. R. Lynn, of Chi
cago, who made the flag while serving on
board the "Winnebago.
Beside the men who fought afloat
from 1S61 to 1805 came the younger
generation who helped to demolish
TMontojo's fleet in Manila Bay, and
made glorious history when Cervera
sailed out of Santiago 'Harbor to over
whelming defeat. "With the veterans of
the Navy marched a band of men whose
lot during the war comprised the worst
of hardships but none the less was as
lull of jglory as the career of the bravest
fighters of them alL These were the
members of the Assoplation of ex-Prisoners
of "War. who received an enthusias
tic greeting as they marched along.
The parade started at U o'clock from
the corner of Michigan avenue and Ran
dolph streets, and after a short march
through the down-town streets turned into
Michigan avenue at Jackson boulevard
and nassed on south under1 the beautiful
army arch at Van Buren street, through
the Court of Honor, and out Under the
naval arch at Michigan avenue and Hub
bard Court, where it passed In review be
fore Commander-in-Chief Shaw, of "the
G A. R.. acting Governor "Warder, rep
resenting Governor Tanner, Mayor Har
rison. Commander Jones, of the Sons of
Veterans, and Commander Atwell, of the
Ex-Prlaoaers of "War.
Chief Marshall J. F. R. Foss, of Min

by Lieutenant W. J. "Wilson. Captain
Joseph L. Brlgham. Past Commander L

Xeelcy. Lieutenant G. L. Carden, Cap
tain P. V. Christian, Lieutenant J. A
Jameson and Ensign L. C. Lindley, who
composed his staff. The first organ
ization In the column was composed of
sailors from the Revenue Cutters Fes
senden and Morrill. Then came two
crews of the United State Life Saving
Service, the Naval Militia of Illinois.
vhlch Included hundreds of men who
fought in the Navy during the war of
1S6S. the Naval Reserve Veteran Associa
tion, the members of the Sons .of Vet- i
crans, the Boys Brigade, the ex-Prlson-crs
of "War, and then the National As
sociation of Naval Veterans.
Xnvnl Arcli Dedicated.
Preceding the naval parade, tho big
naval arch, erected at Michigan avenuo
and Hubbard Court, near Ihe John A. Lo
gan monument, and marking "the south
end of the Court of Honor, was dedicated.
Although the exercises were held at a
comparatively early hour, an, immense
crowd witnessed the ceremonies in honor
of the naval veterans.
The exercises were cxceedlnglx simple.
Shortly after 9 o'clock Major J3. M. Blge- 1
low, secretary of tho G. A. R.; Bishop J
Samuel Fallows and Dr. E. P. Murdock. '
past commander-in-chief, Chicago, und
member of the Farragut Post. G. A R-. J
who had been selected to make the dedi
catory speech, left G. A R headquarters
at tile Palmer House, and escorted by i
T ilkinson Post, No. 3, of New York, a j
detachment of the Illinois Association of
Naval Veterans, and tho Illinois First
Regiment Band wore driven down Michi
gan avenue to the big -white arch erected
in honor of the Veterans of the Navy.
After the band" had played "America,"
the crewd meantime standing with uncov
ered heads. Bishop Samuel Fallows de
livered a prayer. Commodore George I
Seavey, National commander of the Na
val Veterans, then introduced Dr. Mur
dock. who. in a brief, eloqumt speech,
eulogised the gray-headed tars for the
prt they took in the fight for the Union.
and dedlaatod tho arch to their honor.
Again the veterans and the thousands of
spectators uncovered as the band played
V e Star-Spangled Banner. Bishop
Ful'itws aoHvered the benediction, and
O TTnodore Seavey and his escort left im
m x i ;cly for Randolph street and Mlch
lg i avenue to take their places in the
j- "f the Naval Veterans,
ite afternoon feature of the day's
. ttlon, the naval parade on Lake
M i' gan, proved somewhat of a dlsap
po ment. weather conditions interfering
sad' with the arrangements. Besides
the revenue cutters Morxell and Fessen
den and a Stet of excursion steamers, it
had been planned to have the large fleet
of the Chicago Yacht Club included In
the parade from Lake Front Park off
Jackson boulevard to Lake Michigan,
where thp naval battle took place, but
xhe breexo of the morning died away and
hardU &. breath of air was stirring dur
ing the afternoon, so this part of .the
programmo was necessarily abandoned.
The Government vessels, towing a string
of barges filled with detachments from
the Illinois Naval Reserve, and gaily dec
orated with flags and streamers, and the
excursion boats, loaded with sightseers.
made an Imposing appearance as they !
slowly steamed out of tho harbor and
headed toward Lincoln Park. The fleet
arrived off Lincoln Park about 4:30 P.'
M., and then, in sight of tens of 'thou
sands of spectators gathered along the
seawall of the park, the revenue cutters,
with their bluejacketed crews working
the rapid-flre guns of the two vessels,
went through some beautiful maneuver-
ing in a sham fight. The evolutions ex
emplifying the workings of two fighting
ships in battle lasted for half an hour,
and at their conclusion the fleet slowly
steamed back to the harbor.
Regimental Reunions.
The end of the naval fight -closed the
official programme of the encampment
for the day, but all over the city, in vari
ous halls and In all the hotels, there 'were
reunions of regiments almost without
number, fraternal greetings of all sorts
and descriptions. .
One of the leading affairs of the night
was the banquet'"' of the Iron Brigade,
which was held at the clubhouse of the
Chicago Athletic Club at 6:30. The speak
ers were: Speaker Henderson; Senator
Burrows, of Michigan; Governor Scho
fleld, of "Wisconsin; Commander-in-Chief
Shaw, of the G. A. R.; Governor Mount,
of Indiana: Controller of the Currency
Dawes and General Bragg. James "Whit
comb Riley recited a poem.
A meeting of the National Association
of ex-Prisoners of "War was held in the
Coliseum tonight, -which drew a large
crowd, an attractive programme being
rendered. The address etf welcome was
delivered by Mayor Harrison. Speeches
were made by Governor Stone, of Penn
sylvania; Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl
vania, and General John C Black, of Chi
cago. "While the old prisoners of war
were renewing old friendships at the Coll-
seum, and the survivors of the Iron Bri
gade were holding forth at the athletic
club, the Naval Veterans, who had been
given the honors of the day, were having
a dogwatch of their own in the audi
torium of tho Y. M. C A building.
A reunion of the veterans by states will
be held tomorrow, this being a feature of
the encampment which has never been
attempted before. There will be 28 of
these state reunions.
The programme tomorrow includes the
great parade of the Grand Army, which
is expected to be the largest parade ever
held by the organization since it came.
Into existence. Fully 40,000 men, all mem
bers of the Grand Army, will be in line,
according to the statement of the officials
in charge of the preliminaries, and It is
estimated that it will require over four
hours for the line of maroh to pass a
given point. President McKInley, If he
could have come to the encampment,
would have been the central figure at the
head of the parade, and a pageant of
patriotism had been arranged to accom
pany him In the form of guards of honor,
battle-flags and heralds.
Eloquent speeches by soldiers and
statesmen, and patrlptic music, vocal and
instrumental, made "memorable the an
nual meeting of the Cook County Sons
of Veterans, which was held in Memorial
Hall tonight. The beautifully decorated
auditorium was packed to the doors, and
the distinguished speakers were enthusi
astically greeted. Commander-in-Chief
Albert Shaw, of the G. A R delivered
the speech of the evening. Short speeches
were made by Senator Davis, of Minne
sota, General James C. Black and others.
General John C Black today received
a telegram from MaJor-Genera William
R, Shatter, commanding the Department
of the Pacific, expressing regret at not
being able to attend the Grand Army en
campment for ihe reason that "a large
number of men, horses and military sup
plies were being shipped to China, and
that within the next ten days several ves
sels were to be loaded which required his
attention." General E. S. Otis telegraphed
from Rochester that ho regretted circum
stances would prevent his attendance.
Governor John R. Tanner, at Glenwood
Springs, Colo., and Senator John M.
Thurston and Hon. C. H. Grosvenor, at
Washington, telegraphed their regrets at
being unable to attend the encampment.
Tne Xext Encampment.
The contest for the honor of entertain
ing the next annual encampment of the
G. A R. promises to be a very lively one.
The preponderance of sentiment appar
ently favors a Western city and both Salt
Lake and Denver have delegations on the
ground working hard to secure the encamp
ment of 1ML In the contest this year
something beside geographical considera
tions are apparently having much weight
with the veterans. The passing of the
years has made it much more difficult to
bear the fatigue of a march under the
blazing sun than it was In the "G0s and
many of the most prominent members of
the organization ore pronounced In favor
of the selection of a city for the next
encampment where reasonably cool weath
er may be expected. This undoubtedly
will have much to do with the selection
and it is considered not unlikely that the
next encampment may be held west of
the Mississippi River. Commander-ln-Chlef
Shaw Is quoted as "favoring any
place where they may have cool weath
er." It Is expected that the election of Ma
jor Leo Rassleur. of St. Louis, as Commander-in-Chief
will be unanimous, there
being no other candidate. f
Several changes In the order of forma
tion were made today by Commander-in-Chief
Shaw. The formal order is as
follows:
"Owing to tho absence of the President
of the United States, Mrs. U. S. Grant,
Mrs. John A Logan and the wife of the
Mayor of Chicago and the further fact
that the old battle-flags of this state could
not be secured, as was promised, on ac
count of a law that they be not taken
from the Capitol building at Springfield,
it has become necessary to make a change
of formation so far as the pageant of
patriotism Is concerned. Following Is the
final position:
"Cordoh of police; chief marshal and
staff; Second Infantry I. N. G. band and
drum corps; Commander-in-Chief G. A
R.; staff of Commander-in-Chief; Phln
ney's United States band, LaFayette
Post. New York: carriages containing
Mayor Harrison. Acting Governor Walter
WardT, Executive Director W. M. Harp
er, of the citizens' committee, each aid
representing the President by appointment
of the Commander-in-Chief; carriages con
taining Past Commanders-In-Chief of G.
A. R.: First Regiment hand; Columbia
Post. G. A. R.; carriages containing
members of the citizens" executive com
mittee; carriages containing other citizens
prominent in the work of the encampment;
hand of Bldwell Wilkinson Post. Buffalo,
N. Y.: Commander of Department of Wis
consin: Staff Commander of Department
of Wisconsin The remainder will be as
"before arranged."
In the evening a formal reception will be
tendered to Commander-in-Chief Shaw
and the various department commanders
at Memorial Hall and various affiliated
organizations will also hold receptions.
Several persons were Injured In the
crowded -streets during the day and one
aged veteran. Rev. Norman G. Whitney,
of Grey Eagle. Minn., was killed by being
trampled upon by a runaway horse.
A Dele&nte in Jail.
CHICAGO. Aug. 27. Dr. -W. D. Turner,

Horton Lrtt.
KHW YORK, Aug. 27. Robert Fitzslm
mons today .announced his retirement
from the Duidlistlc ring. He made an
t Ineffectual attempt today to get on a
match for the neavy-weignt cnampiansnip
with James Jeffries, to take place before
the- Horton law expires, at midnight next
Friday, and tonight 'issued the following
statement:
"I am through -with fighting. I will
retire from the ring and will not claim
the championship from Jeffries. I am
ready and on edge to meet Friday night,
as his manager suggested 10 days ago,
but, as he claims he is in no condition
to fight on that night. I am through with
him and with the ring. Henoeforth, there
will be one man less In tho heavy-weight
division, for I will go. out with the Hor
ton law."
FItzslmmons, with his manager, Percy
Williams, met William A. Brady, repre
senting Jeffries, this afternoon. Last
Saturday Fitcslmmons deposited 52SOO to

bind a- match with himself and Jeffries
for next Friday night and Brady sent
word that he would meet FItzslmmons
to arrange for a battle between Jeffries
and the ex-heavy-weight champion. Fltz
simmons said he was ready and willing
to meet Jeffries Friday night before ,the
Twentieth Century: lub under any condi
tions as to the division of the purse. or
gate receipts which would suit Brady.
He said he would be satisfied for the
winner to take all or to split the purse
In half, or to give 65 per cent to the win
ner, or 65 per cent to the loser, or, in
fact, any terms possible so that he could
meet the champion before the expiration
of the Horton law. Brady, In reqly. said
that Jeffries was in no condition, as he
had quit training several days ago, and
it would be unfair to force a match with
a man physically unfit for such a con
test. FItzslmmons replied that Jeffries
had had plenty of time to get Into con
dition, and said that although he had
gone through two very severe battles
during the last two weeks, he was on
edge and ready to fight to regain the
championship. Brady said It was Impossi
ble for a fight to take place between Jef
fries and FItzslmmons the date men
tioned, but that he would put up a for
feit at once to bind a match between the
two, the fight to take p;ace within three
month's from September 1, and a side bet
of $10,000., FItzslmmons would not listen
to this proposition, and said that It was
only made for advertising purposes.
JOE WALCOTT QTJIT. ,
CrooUed "Worlc in His Flffht With.
West In "Xew.York.
NEW YORK. "Aug. 27. The fight be
tween Tommy -West and Joe Walcott,
which was the .main attraction at the
Twentieth Century Club In Madispn
Square Garden, ended In a most peculiar
manner tonight. The bqut had gone 11
rounds, very much in WalcQtt's favor,
as, he had punished West badly about the
body and had him in a very weakened
condition. When the bell rang for the
12th round, to the surprise of everybody,
Walcott refused to go on, claiming that
he had Injured his left arm. Referee
Charley White, suspecting crookedness,
Insisted on Walcott's continuing, but the
negro refused to do so, which left White
no alternative other than to declare West
tho winner. There was quite a large sum
of money wagered with West, the favor
ite, and the referee was outspoken in
reference to Walcott's peculiar action.
Whlto said:
"Walcott was not Injured; he quit de
liberately, and It was my candid, con
firmed opinion that he was actuated in
quitting by some dishonest motive. I be
lieve that Walcott was encouraged to act
as he did by some persons-closely con
nected with him. That he should act thus
is no surprise to me. as he, established
a precedent for similar work In San Fran
cisco not so very, long ago. And I think
It was-a scheme to, hurt the management
of tho Twentieth Century Club, which has
all along acted In good faith."
Manager Kennedy, on behalf of the club,
announced that Walcott's share of- the
money would not be given to him, but
would be donated to some charitable In
stitution. -There were many anxious in
quiries as to whether the betting would
be called off. but It Is said that as bet
ting in New York State Is illegal, it
would be Impossible for the club to take
cognisance of wagers laid. Therefore, all
persons connected with the club would
be glad to call all bets off.
Kid McFadden. of San Francisco, and
Jimmy Rose, of this city, met In the
preliminary bout, at 115 pounds. They
were to have fought 12 Tounds,' but the
New Yorker was forced to quit in the 11th
round, after McFadden had planted, a
right over his heart. The early rounds
were full of fast work.
Mnher and Choynnld Fight Tonight.
NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Peter Maher and
Joe Choynskl have trained hard for their
25-round fight at the Broadway Athletic
Club tomorrow night. They are well
matched in size and skill, and it will
probably require many rounds of hard
fighting to bring about the defeat of
either manv Choynskl has fought Jeffries
to a 20-round draw, and Maher has met
such good men as Bob FItzslmmons and
Gus Ruhlln.

TWO MEW WERE ICIMjED AND
THREE "WOUNDED.
Mrs. Dr. "Wright Wna Also "Wonnded
and Captured Taken Oat of Town
to Prevent Lynching.
GILMAN, 111.. Aug. 27. Two men killed,
three wounded two of them perhaps fa
tallyone woman wounded and her resi
dence burned, are the results of an all
night battle between a mob and Mrs. Dr.
C. W. Wright, who -was accused of the
murder of Dessie Salter, 'the 16-year-old
daughter of a citizen of Gllman.
The dead are John Myers, laborer, em
ployed by Mrs. Wright; Michael Ryan,
Deputy ConstableFatally wounded: Law
rence Ryan, brother of the dead man,
wounded in the abdomen; George Wll
loughby, citizen, shot through left lung;
'Mrs. Dr. C. W. Wright, shot through
right shoulder, bullet taking downward
course. Seriously wounded: Peter Lauer,
member of the citizens' attacking party,
shot through stomach
Mrs. Dr. Wright was -about 50 years
old. It is stated that she was formerly
an actress. For some time she haa been
conducting a lying-in hospital on the out
skirts of Gllman.
About 10 o'clock In the evening the first
act of the tragedy was enacted. It was
precipitated by the investigation of the
Coroner's Jury into the death of Dessie
Salter, a 16-year-old girl df Leonard, 111.,
who died In the hospital Friday night and
was taken to her home In Leonard under
cover of darkness early Saturday morri
lng. No coffin was procured- She was
wrapped up In an old blanket and a'
piece of carpet and burled. 5 "
After the jury had heard the. evidence
ot Clarence Salter, father of the girl, the
Coroner came to the conclusion that It
was Injudicious to wait longer for Mrs.
Wright's arrest and a warrant was sworn
out by the Police Magistrate for her ar
rest. Constable Nllstead, with 'a posse-
went to the house to serve the warrant
about 10 o'clock last night. Mrs. Wright
barred the door. The Constables broke
the outer door and entered the darkened
rooms. Michael Ryan was about to en
ter the door of the Inner apartment
when a shot rang out and he fell dead.
The Constables made ft hurried exit and
formed a picket line around the building.
They fired into the building In the hope
that the occupants would surrender, but
without success.
Finally it was determined to set fire to
the building. The recent rains had so
dampened Its timbers that the fire would
not catch and, after burning some out
buildings, the posse gave up the attempt
and" fell back to their original pro
gramme of driving Mrs. Wright our
About 3 o'clock the family of Michael
Ryan arrived. A mob of probably 250
people had gathered. Most of them were
armed. The scenes of grief which fol
lowed the arrival of Ryan's wife and
children fired the crowd with frenzy.
They seized dozens of bundles ef straw,
saturated them with petroleum, piled
them against the front and sides of the
so-called hospital and applied the torch.
In a moment the place was a mass of
flames.
Shot after shot rang from the upper
windows, and George Wllloughby, a-"local
representative of the Standard Oil Com
pany, fell with a bullet In the left side.
The next victim was Peter Lauer, a
member of the attacking party. These
casualties so angered the crowd that they
volleyed the house as fast as they could
load their firearms. Contrary to expec
tations no screams followed the progress
of the flames and the mob began to
think that the Inmates of tjhe burning
house had been cremated. Suddenly, from
a bunch of timber in the rear, several
shots came In the direction of the mob.
They were answered, however, 100 to 'L
and the fire was quickly silenced.
Members of the mob rushed to the
timber and in the dim light of the com
ing dawn, found John Myers, a black
smith, who had been employed by Mrs.
Wright, stretched in the death agony.
He was shot In a -dozen places about
the head and shoulders, showing that ho
had been lying on his face, firing at his
enemies, Tvhen ho met death. Near by

How It Cures Deafness.
Here is another patient who for years
had been a sufferer. Every fresh cold
seemed to stay longer than former colds,
and hp noticed that his ears got stopped
up and his hearing became duller and
duller and there were ringing and buz
zing noises In his ears. She Catarrh had
passed upward and backward from the
throat along the Eustachian tubes leading
from the throat Into the ear. He had
visited Throat doctors and Ear doctors
and Catarrh doctors, without relief. In
this condition wo find" him inhaling the

stop, there is no more discharge, tho

Here is another patient who was always
sensitive to the weather. He contracted
Catarrh of the Head, and it passed to the
Throat, then down the Windpipe and into
the Bronchial Tubes. He coughed at
night so that he could not sleep; there
was pain behind the breastbone and under
his shoulder-blades. When he coughed he

A crowd soon assembled at the City Hall
and threats of lynching were uttered.
Every effort was made to quiet and dis
perse the mob, but at 9:30 o'clock this
forenoon the mob made another demon
stration, smashing in the windows with
stones and clubs. This culminated in a
shot being fired through the window by
one of the mob, barely missing the wom
an. The officers finally restored order,
At the coroner's Inquest In the case of
John Myers the jury brought in a verdict
of "death by bullet wounds from parties
unknown." In the case of Michael Ryan,
the verdict of the jury was "death by
leaden bullets fired from Mrs. Wright's
. house by parties unknown."
The Inquest over tho body of Dessie
Salter was completed this evening. The
jury held Mrs. Wright to the grand jury
without bail. Mrs. Wright was taken to
Watseka at noon, as a measure of safety
from poesible mob violence. During the

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-John W. Esson.
or Esslng, of Chicago, today fired two
bullets, one Into the head and the other
Into the body of his friend and associate,
Harold H. Strldlron, and then, thrusting
the muzzle of the revolver between his
teeth, sent a bullet through his own
head. The suicide expired Immediately.
His victim has a fighting chance for his
life. The police are of the opinion that
the man who attempted the murder and
then committed suicide was crazed by
the extreme heat, drink and jealousy.
The police have been unable to obtain
from the employes of tie Hotel "Vendome,
where the shooting occurred, a clean.
connected statement of the affair. Both
t'men came from Chicago originally. Es
son, or Esslng, Is said to have been a
prosperous contractor In that city. Both
men had been drinking heavily. Mrs.
Hayes, who claims to have known the
dead man In Chicago and to have lent
him $1000 worth of diamonds Saturday be
cause he was in desperate circumstances,
called on the Coroner today. The Cor
oner's Inquest was unable to find any
trace of the missing jewelry. Mrs. Hayes
requested the authorities to turn tha
property of Strldlron over to her, but
this was refused. To a reporter, Mrs.
Hayes said that Esson brought his friends
around to see her, and soon grew jeal
ous. Mrs. Hayes said that if he had not
been drinking he would not have been
jealous.
