Adams County VOLUME 2 GETTYSBURG, SATURDAY, OCTOBBER I 1910. NUMBER 45 12,000 WITNESS DEDICATION OF NEW MONUMENT Pennsylvania State Memorial Dedicated without any Elaborate Ceremonies or Spectacular Display. Speeches by Governor Stuart and Others. Parade by College Boys. With ceremonies which lacked the display and features which Gettysburg is accustomed to witness upon such occasions the Pennsylvania monument was on Tuesday dedicated in the presence of an assemblage numbering about 12,000 over one third of whom were veterans of the Civil War from this state and whose names are inscribed on the bronze tablets on the facade surrounding the memorial.

To the veterans the event was the treat of their a day to which they had looked forward two score years and one which will never be forgotten by them. The addresses were the sweetest music they could hear and through the early part of the afternoon they stood in the light of a broiling sun unmindful of the heat while later on they endured a drenching rain and shouted for "more" when Captain Gardner, who was speaking, stated that he would stop so that all could find cover. To local citizens who have been present at the numerous dedications which have been held here in recent years the d-iy was almost wholly lacking in interest, due largely to the fact that there were no troops aire, that there was no parade, that there were no visitors of national prominence here. The exercises throughout were entirely for the interest of the old soldier and they enjoyed to the full every bit of the program. There was no little dissatisfaction manifested among the veterans over I the fact that the Monument Commission had arranged for them with benches in the open while other citizens were given seats on the grandstand.

Many of the old soldiers were quite insistent about claiming their right to the favored place and there were a number of rather unpleasant scenes as a result. THE CEREMONIES The only touches of the spectacular duri ng the entire day were the parade of the Scotland Orphans' Band and that of the students of Gettysburg College who marched to the scene of the dedication carrying their college colors and each wearing a band of orange and bine. One hundred of their number were on toe program to sing the national anthem' Angel of Peace" and as they marched to the Pennsylvania memorial they sang to stirring march time "Hail Columbia." The band from tho Soldiers' Or pbans' Industrial School at Scotland opened the afternoon's program with music and the prayer was made by Chaplain M. B. Riddle.

General H. S. Huidekoper, president of the Commission which had in charge the erection of tne monument and all arrangements for the dedication made the address turning over the memorial to Governor Stuart, representing the state of Pennsylvania. General Huidekoper, in the course of his address, sftoke of the hope of the Commission that the legislature would appropriate at some future date sufficient monej to allow the placing of a number of bronze statues on the monument at the places provided for them between the handsome Corinthian columns. He also spoke of the fact that there had been some omissions of names of Pennsylvanians who fought here and that it was hoped that an appropriation could also he secured for the placing of these names on the memorial.

In closing General Huidekoper turned over the monument to Governor Stuart representing the Commonwealth. 1 remind them of the deeds tbat made this place immortal.remembering also that to those who fought here and to those who stood the test on other fields i of conflict, we are indebted for the I preservation of the freest and best Republic thp world has ever known. The male chorus from the college i then sang "Angel of three addresses followed, General James W. Latta, representing the infantry; General D. McM Gregg repre- the cavalry, and Captain James A Gardner the artillery.

All receiv ed frequent applause but General Gregg was the decided favorite of the day, being cheered to the echo when his name was announced "The Star Spangled Banner" by the Scotland Orphans' Industi ial School i baud concluded the, day's exercises and at once there was rush on the part of the veterans for the grandstand where many of them clasped the hands of General Gregg and Governor Stuart, THE MEMORIAL Pennsylvania's memorial which was erected at a cost of $140.000 is de- dicidedly the most handsome and imposing monument on the battlefield of Gettysburg. It is tri iwphal f.u:h of pure white granite, the surmounted by a dome which is in turn capped by a colossal statue of victory bearing aloft an upraised sword. Twelve Corinthian monoliths support the dome and the platform around it from which a view of the country for miles around can be had. The most interesting feature of the entire memorial however is the recording of the name of every Pennsylvan ian who fought at Gettysburg on tablets of bronze which are placed on the granite facade about the foot of the memorial. Thirty thousand names anpear on these tablets, while carved in the gramtw of the monument are the names CL a number of the officers from the Keystone State who figured in the battle.

NOTES On Tuesday morning General Sickles addressed the Gettysburg College students on the campus. He told at length the story of his part in the battle. The Gettysburg post office handled 50.000 post cards on Tuesday and tens of thousands every day this week The sale was almost up to the banner day of National Guard week. Tuesday night the veterans had less trouble finding places to sleep. Several churches were opened Monday night to accommodate those without shelter.

A Western Maryland passenger train which left Hagerstown for Baltimore on Wednesday sideswiped an extra west bound freight one mile west of Thurinont. The tracks were so badly obstructed that it was necessary to send several main line trains through Gettysburg. Engineman H. XV. Straw, Baltimore, of the passenger train, had his leg bruised and was shaken up.

The passengers were also badly shaken up. The engine of the passenger train was derailed, but none of the coaches left the tracks. Seven of the freight cars, all heavily loaded, were derailed, and piled in a heap. The accident occurred on a reverse curve and grade where there is a siding. The freight had orders to take the siding, but did not get in far enough and the rear cars were on the main track.

When Engineman Straw saw the rear end of the freight he did his best to stop the train, but did not succeed because of the steep grade. He stock to bis post ana checked his train to a speed of about 15 miles an hour. Drs. Wachter and Keefauver, of Thurmont, wens hurried to the scene of the wreck.
