They knew that from Nashville down the country was fought over time and again during the late war, and they had but to look from the windows to sea truces of the great struggles. For six milcH along the railroad in the vicinity of Murfrecsboro the remains are still to IIP seen of the earthworks thrown up by the contending armies. From the train the boys could see where the battle of Stone River was fought and they viewed the with great interest. They were equally interested in Murfreesboro itsplf, whirh was the center of so much fighting during the war. At the station in Murfreesboro there was a groat crowd of people cheering the boys from the North.

It may have been that iu the crowd there were men who had actually fought some of the men whom they were now cheering. At any rate, the welcome accorded the Northern soldiers yesterday was very different Irom the reception given them in the long ago. Tbp conductor of the road was well posted ou the history of the locality and he gave the boys some interesting information. From Nashville down the three sections of the train ran close together, and at the first stop the thrw of them were in sipht of pupil other. Quite a gang from the hrst section got left at Nush- villo.

but thi'y were nble to pet back. Nightfall did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people in the towns through which the trains passed and there was a di-uioustratiun nt every little town on thp way to Chattanooga. No stop was made for supper and the officers skirmished for forape whenever a stop was made. The men supped on army fare and retired without having coffee. At midnight the train reached Chattanooga and the long journey was over, except for the short run to the park.

Touching Scenes When the Third Broke Camp. Chicago, 111., May clllicers and men were glad enough to leave Camp Harvey, not because they had not been well treated there, but because they were anxious to get nearer the front and into a permanent camp. A ohoer went up, when, after hours of waiting, the train finally started and they were off for the front. The governor of the home had sent word tp the camp that thp veterans desired to give the boys a send-off, and the engineer of the train was ordered to run "sluw" through the grounds. It took but a few minutes to run from the camp to the home.

The train slowed up and the veterans had the desired opportuuits' to show their enthusiasm. It was a lunching scene. Every man able to leave the liuildiiiizs had gone to the side of the track to see the train go through. The veterans stood on either side of the trunk, with uncovered heads, and waved their hats to the boys as they passed. Some of them shouted, but many of thein were silent, visibly affected by the sight of the young soldiers going to fight for their country as they, then young and vigorous, hrtd poue nearly forty years ago.

It impressed the enthusiastic boys in the cars, but it must have meant much more to the cray-haired veterans on the bnnks, still young in heart, still loyal nnd patriotic, still wiiliug to tight if they could." but too old and crippled to be of service. What memories must have crowded into tlnir minds as they watched the train roll by! What emotions! Gov. Wheeler and a large crowd occupied the platform where the trains ordinarily stop and the Home baud played "Hail. Columbia." us the train passed. Word seemed to have been passed all along: the lino that the troops wore coming, for the people through the city were watching for thp train.

At every street corner men. women nnd children stood waving their hats nnd shouting. At the National avenue station the platform was crowded with people who desired to catch a glimpse of the train ns it wont through. No stop was made there. When the big inuuufacturiiigdistrict In theKinnickiuuic valley was readier, there was a chorus of whistling which brought the workmen to the windows and the women and children to the crossings.

All of them cheered lustily. Once out of the city, the train increased its speed and ran through the country without incident. There were no further tli-jiionstrations except an occasional cheer from a passing farmer, or the flutter of handkerchiefs from a group of rustic maidens on a depot platform. Dan B. Starkey.

THE TRIP OF THE SECOND. Got Behind Time, bnt Otherwise Enjoyed a Pleasant Journey. Ghickanianga Park, May The Second Wisconsin regiment is now on the ground at Camp Thomas and by tomorrow will bo nettled. It arrived at ChatUinooga last night and was carried to Chickninnuga this morning. The regiment is assigned to the Third brigade, GPU.

Lawtou coninini ding, and it is nsso- chitod with thp SS.xttenth Pennsylvania and the One Hundredth and Fifty-seventh Indiana regiments. Another regiment will bo added later. The three sections of the train carrying the Second ran into Chattanooga last night not more than half an hour apart, the second sectioa coming in first, having passed the first section nt Nashville. The trip was made' without accidents of auy kind or Incidents of special interest. From Terre Haute down the demonstrations accorded to the Third on its journey were repeated.

At some of the stations girls hi'ndod bouquets to the boys through the windows and some of them discovered notes attached to th.e flowers, to form the basis of possible romances. When Col. Born found that his regiment was to be held in Chattanooga all night he ordered the men taken out for exercise and they paraded the streets in squads under charge of officers. They were very quiet and made no disturbances of any kind. It was expected that they would be moved to Camp Thomas at a very early hour, but it was 9 o'clock before the first section started.

By 11 o'clock they were all on the ready to be marched to their camp. Col. Born reported to Gen. Brooke and learned that he was assigned to Gen. Lawton's brigade, which is attached to the first division commanded by Gen.

Wilson. While: the orders were being-read the men were allowed to be in the shade on the hill where Gen. Rose- erans had his headquarters in the battle of Chickamanga. At noon they formed into line and marched to the location of their camp on the west side of the Lafayette road opposite foe where Gen. Wilson has his headquarters.

The two Wisconsin regiments are In the same division, but their camps are a mile pr. more apart. first brigade is now complete and is of the ig. i Ifc.will have its first parade There was-so delay in. the delivery of the baggage belonging to the Third regiment that the boys could not get their tents Op and they were obliged to bivouac last night It was warm and pleasant and they did not suffer any.

The Third is winning no end of praise by soldierly behavior. The regular officers pronounce it the finest volunteer regiment that has yet arrived, and from Gen. Brooke down they are pleased with ft. 1 Burt, in command of the brigade to which it is assigned, is loud in his praise of it. He says that it has shown a wonderful degree of proficiency and that its equipment surpassed that of any national guard company he had ever Been! He said that he was surprised at the thoroughness of its equipment and for the men themselves he declared that they acted like regulars.

Some disappointment was felt because the two Wisconsin regiments could not be brigaded together. A rule has been made that two regiments from the same state shall not be placed in the same brigade, and no exception will be made to the rule. Speaking about the matter. Gen. Burt said that if the Second Wisconsin regiment was equal to the Third he was only sorry that he couldn't have it in his brigade.

The camp of the Third is on a spot particularly interesting because it was the scene of the hottest fighting on the part of the Wisconsin troops in the battle of Chickamanga. It is on tire eastern edge of what was known ns Kelly's field, where a large nnmber of Badger troops were engaged. A henvy strip of wood borders the field and the boys are camped in among the trees. Some regiments are located in the open fields, where it is hotter than Cuba is supposed to be, and the Wisconsin boys are lucky to get into the shade. The field makes an excellent place for their drills.

The tablet marking the spot where Gen. Starkweather had his is directly in front of the regimental headquarters and behind headquarters are two or three Wisconsin monuments, including those marking the spot where Gen. Hobart's nnd Col. Binghain's command were engaged. The many rnon- nments in the neighborhood give the boys something to interest them when they are not at work.

There are no men in the Third who were engaged at Chioknmnuga. but theie nre several who fought with the Army of the Tennessee. Col. Moore was at Nashville, Stone River, Mnrfreesbnro and other places, and Parker took part in the battles nronnd Chattanooga, To them this section of the state is fraught with and they tell some interesting stories about their experiences.

Thomas, Chirkainau- ga Park, May men in both Second and Third regiments are now settled.and the life on the mrt of both regiments can be said to have 'airly begun on battlefield. One appointment of interest was announced today. Adjt. Holwuy of La rosse, regimental adjutant of the Third cgimcnt, having been appointed by (Jen. iurt provisional adjutant of the First iripade.

It is understood, however, the letnil is likely to be permanent. Gen. Jurt would ulso like to appoint Capt. iams brigade quartermaster, bnt as Moore can ill afford to lose two of his taff this appointment will probably not je made. Regular regimental reports were made both Cols.

Moore and Born for the rst time this morning, the former report- ng to Gen. Burt and the second to Col. lulings, acting brigadier-general of the brigade. There are no further cases of sickness in amp. All the missing ones from the Second regiment have either got here or eported by wire nnd the last of the Htrag- lers will be in camp tomorrow.

By to- ight both camps will be ready and drill- ng will commence tomorrow. The first division of the volunteer army as been organized with. Wilon at its head, nnd Wisconsin furnishes wo regiments for it. Late yesterday fternoon Gen. Laxvton, who was to oiumnad the Third brigade, was ordered Tampa, which places the Second Wis- onsin under a new brigade commander, 'ol.

W. J. Huliugs of the Sixteenth Vnusylvanin took the command temporarily by reason of seniority. The division was made up ns follows: First brigade, Ohio, Third Wisconsin and Fifth Illinois. Second Brigade.

Fourth 'Ohio, Third Illinois, Fourth Pennsylvania. Third brigade. Col. J. "leentb Pennsylvania, Second Wisconsin, One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indiana.

Col. Hulings appointed Lieut. Disch of one of his aides. Gen. Burt has made his son, Lieut.

R. J. Burt, his aide. Col. W.

J. Anderson, Gov. Scofield's private secretary, arrived at Chattanooga last night. He came out to Camp Thomas this morning. He came from Chicago by way of Cincinnati.

He is here for the purpose of seeing how the Wisconsin boys nre faring. Gov. Sconeld docs not want the men to suffer for anything that the state can furnish and he sent Col. Anderson to see if anything was needed. The colonel has visited the two regiments during the day and was well pleased with the camps.

He was also pleased with the praise he heard bestowed upon the troops by the regular army officials. He was told that with a little polishing they would equal the regulars, and that is the handsomest praise an army officer can bestow. Col. Anderson expects to remain four or five days. He says that Gov.

Scofield will come down to visit the boys later. It is very evident that the troops are going to stay here a Ions time. The regular army plBcers who are here to whip the boys into shape insist that nobody can tell when the volunteers will be ordered to the south, but there are a thousand things pointing to a belief on the part of those in authority that the stay will be long one. Hundreds of men are at work transferring the park into a permanent camp. Depots, platforms and sidetracks are being built as rapidly as possible, and various other improvements are being made.

Contracts for vast stores of supplies to be delivered here have been let. A brigadier-general, discussing the matter today, said that in his opinion the trpons would not be moved before the middle of O9tober. It was thought that because of its thorough equipment the Third regiment might be hurried to the front, but the brigade arrangement makes that impossible. It is not likely that less than two brigades would be ordered forward, and no brigade would be ordered out without equipment. At least one regiment brigaded with the Third is as bad off for equipment as any regiment in the pork, and so far as moving is concerned the Third is no better fixed than it would be if it had no equipment at all.

Telegraphic orders were today gent to CoL Samuel P. Schadel, commanding the First Wisconsin infantry, to move his regiment to Tampa immediately and to report to the commanding general of the department at Chicago when he Is ready to depart. This is regarded as an indication that the First Wisconsin will be in the advance corps of troops landed in Cuba. THE DYNASTY TOTTERS If Cervera's Squadron Falls There Is Bound to be an Uprising In Spain. New York, May A dispatch to the World from Madrid says: The cabinet crisis excites more than ordinary interest because everybody comprehends that Sagasta finds so much difficulty in getting first-class Liberal politicians to join the new cabinet on account of the general feeling that this ministry is doomed to suffer for all the sins of its predecessors when the hour of reckoning with an enraged and disappointed people comes.

This hour is felt to be approaching and uvej-ting it is dependent on. the frail hope still entertained of the success of Admiral Cervera's squadron in the West Indies. Sagasta is certainly gamely doing his duty to his party, his country and his Queen, and he perceives the dangers of the situation in the growing audacity of the Republicans and the Carlists and in tone of the Madrid papers, which Assemblyman Hindes and Mrs. Emma Du Bois Join Hearts and Hands. ABOUT ONE HUNDRED PRESENT Official Associates of the Groom anc Many Friends of the Bride Witness the Ceremonies.

Baraboo, May Assemblyman Lemuel P. Hindes of Lodi and Mrs. Emma Du Bois of Keedsburg were married at her home today at noon in the presence of a large number ol friends. Rev. Scott of the Presbyterian church officiated.

After a wedding trip "to Chicago and Bloomingtou, the couple will reside at Lodi. The groom was born in Cameron. N. April 3, 1848, and came to Lodi in 1855, where he has since resided. Before being elected to the Legislature in 1S9C he held several offices.

At the present time he is engaged in the mercantile bnsi- the dare to attack and ridicule the monarchy and dynasty, openly forecasting then- fall. Even such a moderate man as Castelar is known to have told his friends that he considers the whole situation as going to pieces. Too many blunders have been committed to make it possible to avert a catastrophe, and he adds that he only divliues interviews and public declarations because he would have too harsh things to say. Before leaving Madrid Castelar issued he following circular letter: "I thank yon for your good wishes. The line of conduct that for ten years I have followed n-us dictated by my experience and disappointments and I do not propse to abandon it." The attitude and ominous words of Castelar created much impression upon 11 classes, particularly in the official orld.

He goes to spi-ud six weeks at Saxc. in the province of Alicante, with ricuds of his youth to recruit his health and follow a rigorous diet, until he can go in July.to the waters of Mondariz, in Gulicia. His personal appearance at the station showed his numerous friends the traces that his long illness this winter has left on his emaciated figure and his weak he was cheerful as ever otherwise. The crisis interests him much and his friends say that Castelar cannot hear the I'nited States mentioned unless he gets furious, saying that they have given him the bitterest and cruelest disappointment of his life. The Spaniards explain as follows the resignation of the four cabinet ministers: Count Xicjuona leaves office, like the eccentric grandee nobleman that he is, weary of the trimming policy of Sagasta, whom he charges with having too late decided for a policy.

Admiral Ber- niejo leaves the marine department because he only remained so long to please Sagasta and the Queen by stnvjng off the crisis. Senor Gmlou leaves tlje state department because he is really in bad health and never allowed to have his own way or would long ago have hastened the rupture between Spain and the United States. Sonor Moret has retired because not even the Liberals and Democrats could venture to share the extreme unpopularity of a minister that the majority of Spaniards cannot forgive for having attempted to bring about home rule and having long advocated concessions to America and Cuba. It is difficult to imagine all you hear of the popular and national feeling against Moret and against home rule in every rank of Spanish society, even among the women of the lower classes. His house and family have had to be constantly guarded by police and detectives.

He would be in great danger if national reverses provoked a revolution or a popular movement. ALABAMA LAUNCHED. LEMCEL P. HIXDES. ness.
