THE PROCEEDIXQS. WAsmiiGTON, May day of th(! reunion of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland yesterday was a perfect specimen of Washington spring The sky was cloudless, the temperature delightful and a light breeze tempered the rays just enough to make an ideal day for open-air ceremonies. At an early hour in the morning small detachments of regular troops, militia and other organizations that were to participate in the parade, took possession of the streets. The music of brass bands was heard in every quarter. At noon tlie executive were closed and ailded their quota io the throngs on the sidewalks.

At the business meeting in the morning of the society, Colonel Henry Stone, of Boston, was selected as the orator and Colonel William McMicliael, of New alternate of the next reunion. Chicago was selected as the place and Chickamauga week in September, ls88, as the time for holding the next reunion. The present ofticers of the society were reelected for the coming year, as follows President, General P. H. Sheridan; Corresponding Secretary, General Henry M.

Cist; Treasurer, General J. S. Fullerton; Recording Secretary, General John Steele and a Vice President from each State represented in the society. Long before 11:30 the hour fixed for the starting of the procession, all was bustle in the neighborhood of the Arlington Hotel, and a large number of spectators had arrived to secui-e some good positions from which to view the formation of the parade. As the time for starting approached, the different bodies which were to form the procession began to arrive and take position on the streets previously designated for the various organizations.

The aids to the Grand Marshal of the day, and the societies of the Garfield Guard of Honor and the Army of the Cumberland rendezvoused in front of the Arlington Hotel, while the G. A. the government troops and the District militia formed on the streets in the immediate vicinity. Promptly at 11 General Baird, Chief Marshal of the parade, gave the signal for marching and the procession started. A platoon of mounted policemen led the way, followed by General Baird and his aides, who preceded a carriage in which were seated Generals Sherman, Sheridan and Rosecrans, three of the four living commanders of the Army of the Potomac, General Buel, the remaining commander, being unable to be present.

The right of the procession moved up street to Eighteenth street, each organization wheeling into line as the left of the preceding company passed. From Eighteenth street the procession proceeded to Pennsylvania avenue, down which it marched to Third street, where the First division debouched and proceeded down Third street to Maryland, and halted on that avenue near the monument. The Second division continued on its course and tpok position on First street at the north of the statue. On a grand stand near the statue seats had been arranged for 1,500 persons. A numl)er of these were occupied at least an hpur before the profession arrived.

The grand stand was profusely draped with bunting, and the stand was ornamented by graceful palms and potted plants, while a tattered battle flag hung froiB its stair at either corner. A pair of comfortable arm chairs placed in the center of the stand were reserved for the President and Mrs. Cleveland. Places were also reserved fo? the sculptor and other favored guests. The large circle surrounding the monument was cleared by the police, while the sidewalks were crowded with spectators.

Just before one the invited guests began to arrive. James and Harry Garfield were escorted to seats by General Muzzy, while Colonel Wilson performed a similar office for the aged W. W. Corcoran, ihe usual Thursday Cabinet meeting was adjourned at an early hour in order to allow the President and his advisers to attend the unveiling ceremonies. Secretary Bayard and Attorney General Garland, were among the early arrivals and were seated to the left of Mrs.

Cleveland. The members of the Supreme Court of the United States, came in a body, excepting Justices Wood and Harlau, and" were seated in the first row on the left of the stand. The District Judiciary, members of the Court of Claims and District Commissioners were also present. Representatives Of the Diplomatic Corps were placed on the right of the stand. At one Generals Sherman, Sheridan and Rosecrans and Governor Curtin arrived in a carriage just after the head of the procession made its appearance.

They soon followed by President Cleveland, escorted by General Anderson and Secretary and Mrs. Fairchild, Colonel and Mrs. Lament, Postmaster General and Secretary Lamar. Mrs. Cleveland came accompanied by Mrs.

Folsom, Miss Bayard and Miss Welsh, just after one and took her seat beside the chair. Becretary Windom and ex-Attorney General McVeagh, of President Cabinet, were among the guests present. At 1:10 Marshal Wilson, taking his place on the stand, said Attention, ladles and So- eiety of the Army of the Cumberland with these distingaished guests, are assembled here for the purpose of unveiling the statue of eminent statesman soldier, James A. Garfield. The exercises will opened with prayer by Dr.

Giecy. In his prayer the clergyman referred in glowing lauguage to the merits oi the illustrious statesman to whom the statue was erected. The Marine Band sarronnding the monument struck up to the and amid the clapping of hands the American flag enveloping the statue was dropped and the great bronze image stood exposed to the rays of the midday sun. There was a short lull in the proceedings while a battery of artillery fired a national salute. General Sheridan then introduced the orator of the J.

Warren on the part of the monument committee, delivered an address transferring the statue to General Sheridan. The statue unveiled to-day, the orator said, was not alone in honor of a citizen distinguisiied for good qualities of head aad heart, nor alone to a scholar eminent for his attainments, nor alone to a soldier renowned for his bravery and successful high fomuiand, nor alone to a statesman and politician as wise and prudent as he was outspoken and bold, nor yet alone to a Chief Magistrate, who wielded the scepter of power in the interest of the citizen, but to one who combined within himself all these various characters, and illustraled all these qualities in a single life. This statue was mainly a tribute from immediate companions of the Army of the Cumberland, prompted by love born of camp, bivouac and battle; yet, in a larger sense, was the tribute to the memorv or a citizen, educator, soldier, statesmaa and ruler. After a brief description of the monument, General Keifer sketched career as scholar, teacher, soldier, statesman and President, from bis boyhood to the day of his death, and then, in closing, said: omrades now musters with that larger piirt of the Army of the Cumberland, who, having paid the penalty of devotion to cause and country, and fulfilled earthly mission, have passed on to join the Grand Army of the Republic beyond the grave We are all soon to be there, and muster again as one reunited host. Comrades.

splendid statue is worthy of you v.ho conceived it, and it is worthy of the great sculptor who created it: and it is also worthy of him whose life and chfiracter Is so imperfeci iy described by me, and so prandly symbolized by the artist. Enduring as this statue may be. the ruthless vandal or may demolish it, or Time, that destroyer of all things not fashioned by Omnipotence, will cruTiibh' it to dust. What the artist has done and what we may do or say here to perpetuate his name or fume may pass away and be forgotten. Hut the sun of his glory has risen, full-orbed, high in the tu-inament of eternal truth and justice, there to shine on and on through the ages.

Socrates was condemned to drink the fatal cup of hemlock, and thus give up his mortal body; but his philosophy the poison could not kill: it was immortal. So Gar tield was doomed to fall by a fatal Inillet. and thus surrender his mortal bodv. but his words and deeds did not die they belong to etermly. they, too are immortal.

Our hero cared little for past example compared with present duty; heb-lirned in a morning star of progress reigning perpetually in the tirmameni of our republic. to set only The eternal morning P.iles in its glories all the lights of Time. So may we. guided and controlled by bright star of prog? continue with the best Jight within us to towards our fellowmen the ful! mission of tne life, reuiembei-ing that 'V occasions leach new dudes; muki gotal uncotith; They uir.vard and Who would of Truth. Lo.

They recognized his merits as a soldier, and they wished to pay some testimony to that merit his worth as a man. I have the honor, sir. on behalf of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, to ask you as the representative of the American people, to accept the statue from their hands as it was given to me The President, who arose as General Sheridan began speaking, then began his address, accepting the statue as a gift to the nation. performance of flje duty assigned to me on this occasion, I hereby accept, on behalf of the oeople of the United States, this complete and statue.

Amid the interchange of fraternal greetings between the survivors of the Army of the Cumberland and their former foes upon the battlefield. and while the Union General and the people's President awaited burial, the common grief of these magnanimous survivors and mourning citizens found expression in the determination to erect this tribute to American greatness, and thus to-day, in its symmetry and beauty, it presents a sign of animosities forgotten. ah emblem of a brotherhood redeemed and 4 token restored. Monuments and statues multiply throughout the land, fittingly illustrative of the love and iffection of our grateful people, and commemorating brave aud patriotic sacritlces in war, fame In peaceful pursuits, or honor in public station. But from this day forth there shall stand at 3 ur of government this statue of a dis- citizen who in his life and services 'ombine all these things and more, which challenge admiration in American tenderness in every domestic relation, bravery 3 the tield of battle, fame and distinction in and balls of legislation, aud the highest honor 3 ur dignity in the Chief Magistracy of the This stately efttgy shall not fail to teach every beholder that the source of American greatness is conttned to no condition, nor dependent alone for its growth and development upon favorable surroundings.

The genius of our national life beckons to usefulness and honor to those in svery sphere, and offers the highest preferment to manly hopes and sturdy, honest effort chast- tened and consecrated by patriotic hopes and aspirations. As long as this statue stands let it be proudly remembered that to every American citizen the way is open to fame and station, until up from high to higher, Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope The pillar of a People's hope The center of a Worlds's Nor can we forget that it also teaches our people a sad and distressing lesson; ahd the thoughtful citizen who views its fair proportions cannot fail to recall the tragedy of a death which brought grief and mourning to every household in the land. But while American citizenship stands aghast and affrighted that murder and assassination should lurk in the midst of a free people, and strike down the head of their government, a fearless search and the discovery of the origin and hiding-place of these hateful and unnatural things should be followed by a solemn resolve to purge forever from eur political methods and from the operation of our government the perversions and miscgpcep- Uons which gave birth to passionate andbioody this hour our admiration fpr the bravery and nobility of American manhood, and ojar faith in the possibilities and opportunities of American citizenship be renewed; if our appreciation of the blessings of a restored union and love of our government be strong- ened and if our watchfulness against the gers of a mad chase after party spoils be quickened, the dedication of this statue to the people of the United States will not be in vain. During the delivery of his address the President was frequently interrupted by outbursts of applause. He spoke fluently in a clear voice, which was audible to most of the vast crowd that filled the circle before the stand.

When he bad concluded the band played Rev. F. D. Power, who was pastor of General church this city, pronounced the benediction. The troops were then dismissed and the ceremonies came to an end.

Secretaries Endicott and Whitney came in during the oration. Mrs. Vilas, who was also delayed, took the seat beside Mrs. Cleveland which had been vacated by the President stejiped forward to begin his address. The statue is regard by its sculptor, Mr.

J. Q. A. Ward, as one of his most successful achievements. The small circle at the intersection of First street, Maryland and Pennsylvania is directly at the Capitol grounds, and the statue is seen to fair atlvantage from the Capitol and sur- rounding grounds and from the intersect- i ing streets.

The statue rises thirty feet in the air and surmounts a broad and shapely granite base and graceful pedestal. The sides of the shaft are inscribed as follows; i Southwest face. James A. arfield On the southeast face Major General U. S.

Ni-w Uki.eans, May Mrs. Dclahous- an employe of the office of the mint, entered suit for criminal libel against (xoneral Allen Thomas, the coiner, Tuesday, but the facts in the case have only just leaked out. She was appointed by Mr. predecessor and belongs to a highly respectable Creole family. About three months ago Thomas made a demand upon Superintendent Montegut for her discharge, and made written charges reflecting upon her character in connection with Mr.

Montegut himself. The superintendent refused to approve the application, and forwarded them to Washington. After investigation, the Director of the Mint returned them disapproved, as not well founded. It is said that the lady's relatives have threatened personal violence to the coiner, if he does not retract his slanderous reflections, but as yet no conflict has taken place. The lady is a widow, and has become an expert in her work at the mint.

AN OLD FAMILY FEUD Results In Murder "The Hummocks," Long Murderer Gives Himself Up. ew ork May is the name given by the natives to a long low strip of marshy land abutting on Hempstead Bay, near Long Beach, L. I. Upon this narrow strip a number of one- story shanties have been erected by oyster men. On Tuesday night Jesse Abrams, a night watchman at the Hummocks, shot and killed Charles Rhodes, a day laborer at the bay.

Bad feeling had prevailed between them, owing to family feuds. Tuesday night Abrams says he suddenly saw Rhodes appear at the window of his shanty, pointing a pistol at him. Abrams warned him to go away, but Rhodes advanced, sayiug with an oath that he would kill Abrams, who then seized his shot gun and fired twice, killing Rhodes instantly. Local rumor attributes the murder to a quarrel between the two men about a domestic difficulty, in which a woman figures. Abrams gave himself up.

On the board at their headquarters the following notice was posted: All members of the Master Builders and Trade Exchange now working men are requested to stop work on Friday night.

May 13, and report to the executive committee. oseph owney President. Hundreds of master carpenters, builders, masons and material men stood around the doors of the exchange rooms on La Salle street yesterday, all anxiously and earnestly discussing the really alarming condition of affairs in which they find themselves and their business plunged. At the meeting of the executive committee of the Master Association Wednesday, committees were appointed to confer with the material men and learn how far the contractors could rely on their assistance in case they should decide upon a hard struggle with the trades unions. An agreement in which the signers pledged them.selves not to sell materials of any kind to any engaged in the building business, either directly or indirectly, was prepared and carried by the committee to the different building material supply firms.

The response to this action was far more encouraging than had been anticipated. All the leatling brickmakers and those who controlled the outside brick trade signed at once. The lime and cement men signed and the signature of the Chicago Stone Company, which controls the entire stone business of the city, was obtained readily. Other material men signed the agreement, and thus the construction of all buildings is stopped until the embargo shall be re- There is antire unanimity of opinion about the wnsdom of ihe lock-out among the builders. had to said a prominent builder yesterday.

Material men were just as badly off, and at the last meeting of the executive board it was decided that the next strike would settle the whole thing one way or it for keeps. We want to know when we begin a job that we will be allowed to finish it on the same basis as we begin Mr.

After drinking several times and refusing to pay, they were refused further drinks by Weigel.

The ball struck a man named Egans, a tank builder from Columbus, in the back part of the left shoulder, coming out in the upper part of the breast. Egans is still living, but will probably die.
