THE PROCEEDINGS.

RITTBHUHOH, I'a., Sept. 13.—There were no vacant seats in the Grand opera house Wednesday morning when, tho twenty-eighth national encampment of tho Grand Arm3' of the Republic was opened formally. Precisely at that hour Commander in Chief John G. 1!. Adams tapped the table with his gavel of cedar and gold and declared theencampment opened. Gov. PattiBon gave welcome to tho delegates behalf of the state. Mayor Bernard MoKenna spoke for Pittsburgh, and Mayor William SI. Kennedy for the sister city of Allegheny. Appropriate responses were made by Commander in Chief Adams and other delegates.

These exercises o\er, the encampment wont into executive session and the delegates settled down to listen to the reports of the national oflieers. The closest attention was paid to the annual address of the commander in chief, upon a largo number of topics. The membership of the order, he said, is us follows:

Jtcglnning of the ICml.

"One year ogo there were In good standing fW7.Qi!3. There have been gained during tho year, by muster-in, 10,75:! by transfer, 0.85-1 by reinstatement, H.ontJ, by reinstatement from delinquent reports, 2,519. Total gain, 39.601. Aggregate, 43tl,8H4. "There havo been lost, by death. 7.283 by suspension. 34.805 by dishonorable discharge, IM: by delinquent reports, 10,071. Total loss, 67,801. Tho number remaining in good standing June BO, JSi4, was Uft,083. "These figures show that tho Grand Army of tho Republic has reached the beginning of tho end, und each succeeding year will show a gradual docrenso in our membership. The long-continued depression lu business has caused many suspensions, and these wo hope to regain when prosperity returns, but it will bo impossible for us to recruit our rauks as fast as our members are inustored out by death. During the year tho grand army has not forgotten the great work of charity und has expended $203,780.10 for relief. While it has lost in membership, the interest in the order has not abated, but has grown stronger. Tho little bronze button was never worn with xnoro pride than it is today, and the enthusiasm of comrades in grand army work is everywhere apparent."

Vital Interest of Pensions.

His remarks on tho pension issue were reponte«1!y interrupted with applause. lie said in part: "The question of pensions is of vital interest to comrades of our order. While we dislike to consider money matters in connection with our services t« the government, the disabled condition of a largo uumber of our comrades forces it upon us. Tho president has stated that "thousands of neighborhoods had th»*ir well-known pension frauds.' Very few frauds have been discovered, and, when found, wero not cases where soldiers had defrauded the government, it was clearly the intention of the congress that passed the act of June 27, 18W0, to deal liberally and justly by the veterans and tho loyal people of tlie country were in full sympathy with them, but rejection of claims has been the rule all this that tho administration may make a show of economy and return to tho treasury money appropriated by congress for payment of pensions.''

Sonus Senaationul Utterances. Commander Adams said in referring to Memorial da}*: "It is an easy thing /or comrades in the north toobservo the day. The communities where tho posts are located are Jn full sympathy with them, and cities and towns make appropriations to defray the expenses. In the south posts havo neither moral nor financial assistance. Take, for instance, the day in Hichmoud, Va., this year, Everything possible was done to turn tho day and the occasion into a glorification of the lost cause, but our comrades of that city, loyal and true to those who died for the right, marched to Seven Pines and other battlefields and laid their garlands of love upon their graves."

Continuing, in referring- to the efforts of the Woman's Relief Corps to have the daily salute of the flag observed in all schools. Mr. Adams apaln launched in vituperation of the south, Biying*: "Thus far they have only been able to enter the schools of the states that were true to the un on. It is not possible to go into the sohool* of tho south carrying our flag and theirs and teaching the children that we are one country and have one common destinv. 1 am unable to understand why so many who, like the prodigal son, wandered from their father's house, will persist in living upou husks, cherishing love for a cause that is forever lost, and refuse to return and eat the bread of loyalty under the stars and stripes."

In his reference to law niul order Commander Adams made the statement that during the recent strike crisis he had the entire Grand Army of the Republic membership of five states under arms, and had the men on duty been unable to restore law and order he should have called out the Grand Army of the Republic, and was confident that every comrade able to bear arms would have responded.

Conclusion.

Commander Adams then uracil the establishment of a permanent headquarters for the grand* army for the preservation of its records. He concluded as follows: "As our members grow less may our love Increase. Be true to the principles of the order. Keep sacred tho memory of our dead, stand loyally for the interests of our living and, above and beyond all, soe to it that the flag we love so well and followed so long is not trailed in the dust. Place it higher aud higher, until its stars mingle with those In the heavens and Its stripes can bo seen by all the world, telling that it is an eiunlem of equal rights and national unity saved and made purer and brighter by the loyalty and devotion of its defenders."

The address was accompanied by detailed reports from all the national oflicers of the organization.

Various Department Statement*. The report of James F. Meech, adjutant general, .shows a decrease of 400 posts during1 the last year, or at least the lack of reports from that number of posts. According to the figures given, there was expended in charity this way for the six months ending December 81, LbV8, the sum of $100,440.08 and for tho six months ending Juno 30, 1804, 8108,294.07, a total for tho year of 52011,780.10.

Quartermaster General Louis Wagner in his report states that the affairs of his department are lu good oondltion. There are no unpaid bills against the national encampment, and nothing owing to tho national encampment except the per capita tax of two of tho smaller departments.

Blttor Against th« South.

The closing report was that of the committee on legislation, Joseph W. Kay chairman, and it dealt at length with its efforts, under instructions from the last encampment, to urge upon the Fifty-third congress to give preference lu every publlo employment to survivors of the war for tho union. It frankly admitted that all its efforts had failed, and continued: "This is hardly lo be wondored at when w® reflect that inea who fought to destroy tho union now dominate und control In both legislative branches of tho national government. No successful appeal oan be made to encmlea of this country—many of them as much so now as they were in tho war days—and wo may be permitted to say here that these now reconstructed states will never be for Justice to tho soldiers and sailors of the union. Such men do not understand they never did—tho meaning of patriotism, For them 'old glory' has no charms, home and country no significance. They arc nut Amer cans."

Will Meet'fiext itt Louisville. Henry Watterson delivered an address urging the claims of Louisville, Ky to the next encampment. The ovation tendered Mr. Watterson at the conclusion of his effort for his own city was a magnificent tribute to the eloquence and feeling of tho representative selected by Louisville. It was properly voiced later by the unanimous decision of tho heads of the grand army to break over a precedent and take the next national encampment, into the erstwhile enemy's country south of Mason and Dixon's line, to Louisville. ,St. Paul, tho only other contestant, gracefully retired, under assurance, it Is believed, of the encampment for the following year.

Some Resolutions.

Among the resolutions prepared for general action by tho encampment are two that are exeiting considerable interest. One demands an Investigation of the system of reporting upon applications for pensions as pursued in the bureau of pension reports under tho managomont ol Col. A ins worth, Its offloial head. Another paragraph in the resolution demands that Col. Alnsworth be himseli Investigated on allegations that he caused tho dismissal of ex-union soldiers for causes other than provided for In the statutes defining the right of veterans to employment under the government.

Tho other resolution covers the whole system of reporting upon and granting pensions, and charges that grave malpractice exists In connection with the conduct of the bureau oi pension reports, of which Col. F. C. Ainsworth is the official head. This resolution has attached to it the names of three members of the Washington post. Appended to it is a list of names of thirty-two ex-union soldiers, all of whom, tho resolution oharges, wero dismissed from tho service of the bureau, some of them to make way for ex-rebel soldiers and others, all of these men being at the same time perfectly able to do the duty they were relieved from.

Sickles on the Warpath.

At the reception to Gen. Dan Sickles Wednesday evening the general, in an address, turned his attention to the administration at Washington, and after saying ho was a democrat, scored the pension bureau officials. He said: "It takes the people In Washington a yoai to ilnd out whether you were in the wat or not, another year to find out if you were wounded, another year to And out if the enemy shot you, another yesr to And out something else, and bj the time a man's pension it duo thn applicant Is dead- Hoke Smith hah been busier in putting oonfederatos Into the pension office than In granting pensions tc union soldiers. He may find time next year tc look after you. The man who Is responsible for the pension laws is Mr. Cleveland and not Hoke Smith."

LOOTED AT NOON,

IIOOPESTON, 111., Sept. 18. The Citizens' bank at ltossvllle was robbed of 810,000 at noon Wednesday as systematically as the Dalton gang uould havo done It and much less tragically. Rossvllle is an important grain-buving point on the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad and large amounts of money are sometimes in the bank for tho elevators to check on. The rainy weather of the last week has made grain-buying slow and the money accumulated In the country banks.

At noon Wednesday Hanker Campbell loeked up the place and went to dinner. In the safe was about 810,000 in currency including glfio in SI and S'J bills, which he had picked up from the desk and placed in the safo. Tho safe door was olosed but the combination was not thrown.

When Hanker Campbell returned after an absence of thirty minutes ho found the safe door open and the currency gone. An investigation showed that the burglar entered the back window of the grocery store in the rear of the bank and with a pair of nippers turned the key in the back door of the bank. Then opening the safe he took the money and left the way he came. Tracks from the window led to the railroad traeUs, then into a cornfield. The engineer of the elevator says he saw a man with a light check suit run down the alley with a bundle in his hand. The iceman says he saw a man of the samo description in the alley in the rear of the bank in the forenoon, and others saw the samo man sitting in front of a grocery store just before 12 o'clock. He was an entire stranger, but evidently knew of the habits of the banker and something of his busi. nes*.

WOULDN'T ANSWER.

Witness lloRan Kefuscg to Testify In tlio Debs Trial. CHICAGO, Sept. 18. In the Debs trial several messenger boys testified to having delivered telegraphic messages addressed to E. V. Debs to various persons, but only a very few to Debs personally. They had been instructed to delivor all messages marked "personal" to no one but Mr. Debs. Among others to whom tele-R-ramshad been delivered were Messrs. Ilogan.Howard, Kelihcrand Rogers. In receipting for them the gentlemen named would sometimes sign their own names and sometimes that of Mr. Debs.

L. P. Henedict, who was Debs' secretary during the strike, was then called to the stand. Kvery question put him by Mr. Milelirist was objected to. He refused to answer except by advice of counsel for fear of self-in-crimination. Judge Woods said that was all right, so nothing at all was elicited from Mr. Henedict.

Mr. Walker then called James Ilogan, one of .the directors of the Ameri can Railway union and a defendant in the suit. Alter answering Mr. Walker's questions to the effect that he was a defendant and that he had filed an answer he refused to make any further statements on the ground of self-incrimination. A hot coutliot was engaged in between Mr. Walker and Mr. Gregory over the question whether the court should compel Mr. Ilogan to answer or not. Moth parties agreed to take the noon recess to look up decisions. When the court was called at a o'clock, however, Mr. Walker said he would not discuss the quest on at that time, and the matter dropped.

Mr. Walker then called David S. Geerm, a shorthand reporter who had taken Mr. Debs' evidence before tho federal strike commission. After much objection ho read a part of it to bo put in evidence. When he had llnished Mr. lirwin demanded that tho whole testimony be introduced, and tho court held that the government must introduce a complete transcript of everything that pertained to the matter already In evidence.

Mr. Walker then read portions of two copies of the American Railway union constitution and submitted them, after much objection, as evidence. After parts of the constitution had been introduced Mr. ISrwin insisted that it all go in and it was admitted. Mr. Walker then read certain portions of several numbers of tho Railway Times and introduced them as evidence.

Keolej* League Convention.

Coi.oiiADo SriUKOB, Col., Sept. 8.— When the national convention of Kecley leagues was called to order Wednesday by President Andrew J. Smith there were about 800 delegates in attendance. The report of the executive committee, which favors disbanding of tho state leagues, was presented. Iiarrisburg, Pa., was chosen as the place for the next convention. Andrew J.

VICTIMS OF THE WIND,

CHARLESTON, Mo., Sept. 1!!.—Twopersons were killed and ten injured, one. of them fatally, in cyclone here Wednesday, during which a train was blown from the track. Those killed are Parmelia Dempsey, r.f liertrand, Mo., and Freddie MeClellan. of Eldorado, 111. lllown from tho Track.

It wns about o'clock Wediiewluy afternoon when the westbound express on the Cairo branch of the Iron Mountain road was struck by the hurricane, and the result was one of the most serious wrecks ever known on the system. The train, in charge of Conductor Jack Lower and Engineer Andy Hill, had just readied the limits of the city when passengers ami cre-.v noticed the approaeli of a funnelshaped cloud that was dealing destruction to everything in its path, uprooting large trees and hurling missiles before it. The train and the evclone met aud the wind lifted the entire line of coaches and landed them at a distance of i!U foet from the track, almost turning them completely over.

Attuctcd !y

Those who were not hurt seriously hastened to free themselves and rescue those who were not so fortunate. KtTorts were being made in tliut direction when a new danger presented itBelf. Flames were seen in the rear of the train and only for the heroic action of ItraUeman artwell an even worse catastrophe might have been recorded, lie hastily secured a heavy piece of timber and battered down the door of the car, rushed In and succeeded in extinguishing the fire with hand grenades. Near by were a woman und little child whose clothing had Ignited, and hastily catching them up ho succeeded in smothering the tire, but not until the clothing .of each was almost destroyed.

Aside from the train and its passengers the damage done, by the cyclone, which seems to have been purely local, was slight. Its path was not over !t0 yards wide, and did not extend more than a mile.

Cyclone In TennegfMMs

MEMPHIS. Tenn., Sept. IA.--J?brth Memphis was struck by a tornado at noon Wednesday and nearly wiped oil tho face of the earth. One man was killed mid several others injured, who may die. It was ia o'clock when tho barometer of the weather bureau recorded a local disturbance. A dark cloud that resembled in appearance aud action a big balloon with a rope tied to it began to descend, and wherever it came close to the earth destroyed everything iii Its path. The greatest damage was done along Wolf river, which Is occupied by box factories, sawmills anil veneering factories. Along Second street the most damage was done. The roof of the Ebcnezer Haptist church and tho house of Mr. Shelbler were taken off. A tenement house was lifted into the air and dashed upon the ground and a cottage was treated In the same manner. It was the big lumber and factory yard where the greatest havoc was wrought. Smokestacks were leveled, buildings demolished, and the mammoth piles of lumber were scattered liite jockstrnws. Robert C. Culp, a fireman for the Hardwood Lumber company, was fatally crushed under a falling smokestack. He was removed at once. but died in a few hours. Wilkes Yandell, a filer in Anderson Tully's box factory, was badly bruised and had an ankle broken by falling lumber. He may die. A man from the country was also badly injured, but was taken 1 his home across tho Hstahee. re.cently completed railroad across Wolf river was demolished. It is known as the Hemiing switch and connected the C. & O. with Anderson A Tully's yards. N. W. Kpeers & Co. estimated their loss at 81.S00 Anderson, 'fully & Co., 3t,000 Hardwood Lumber company, 85,000: C. ). and Southwestern railway bridge and siding, S.I,000. One hundred thousand dollars will not cover the loss to dwellings and other private property. Every vestige of crop is destroyed as far as the storm swept.
