A heavy rain drenched the streets and the sky was fall of threatening clouds. It was thought once that the programme would have to be abandoned, but later in tha forenoon the sun looked oat and touched the earth into beauty. The rain had one splendid effect, at least. It laid the dust that had been swept through the 8tr? eta in a most disagreeable manner in the last few days and rendered the atmosphere cool and bracing. It was determined that the exercises should be earned out. By neon the streets along he line of march were thronged with sightseers. Nearly ail the business houses had bsen closed, and the day was given to memorial services and general recreation. At 1 o'clock the companies that were to form in line began their march for the starting point at the corner of Market and Delaware streets. The police, twenty-four in number, led the ran of the procession, under command of Captain CampbelL Fred Ward, marshal of the day, and a portion of the stall followed immediately after. Among the attendants of Marshal "Ward were George "W. .Epahr, chief of staff; Thomas J. Madden, A. J. Wells, A. E. Haskell, James Whfjat, Abraham Lang, Thomas Sharpe, J. A. Humphries, Ad Hereth. John Moloney, Ben Richardson, J. E. Boswell, John Fleming, Thomas N. Watson, 0. W. Smith, S. E. Tilford, W. H. Lster, William H. Wyndman, M. I. Brown, John W. Fort, J. A. Murphy, J. I. Rooker and H. C. Smither. They were interspersed at intervals between the companies in the line of march. Ihe Knights of Pythias, Division No. 2, under command of Captain Richardson, and the Many Division, Charles J. Many commanding, came next, with precise step and arrayed 10 splendid uniform. The Richardson Rifles, W. J. Kerchsval commanding, presented a hmdsome appearance in their army regulation suits ot bine. Their marching was excellent, With thfir guns shouldered and bayonet fixed. They were followed by the Rice Zouaves, under command of Lieutenant Draper, and the letter carriers, under the direction of Captain Decry. The second divis'on was led by General Fred Knefier, and was composed of the -various G. A. R. posts of the city. General Kneiler was accompanied by the department officers of the G. A. R. The George H. Thomas Post took the lea 1, with about 3 JO men in line, Captain I. N. Walker commanding. It was followed by the German Veterans, in command of Captain John Griers; the Martin R. Delaney Post, Captain A. A. Jone3 commanding; the Ruckle Post, A. D. Shaw captain ; George H. Co3prr an Post, John A. M. Cox commanding; the Major Anderson Post, Samuel Long commanding, and the street car drivers, arout fifty in line, unrfer the watchful eye of Pat Malone, brought up the rear of the second division. The last portion of the marching column was commanded by Davi4 M. Smock, who was followed by his staff, of which Hiram Plummer was chief and B. M. Bruce aid-de-camp. The president of the Woman's Relief Corps, Mrs. Flora Wulschner, and 8ta3 came after in carriages. Among the president's attendants were Mrs. Belle Ingersoll, department treasurer; Mrs. Malinda Sidda ), department chaplain; Mrs. Agnes Hiti, and Mrs. Juliette Wood, aids, and Mrs. Adelia New and Mrs. Lizzie Spahr. The rear of the whole column was composed cf wagons containing about 100 children dressed in white, with blue caps studded with golden stars and ribbons of red, white and blue failing from their shoulders. The line of march was from Market to Washington, west on Washington to Meridian, north on Meridian to North, west on North to the depot, where the train was in readinsss to bear the oolnmn to Crown Hill Cemetery, where the memorial exercises proper were to be conducted. The accommodations which the coaches afforded were very meager for the immense crowd. On reaching North Indlana pel's the cars emptied their burdens and the lines of Grand Army posts w ere formed anew. It was after S o1 clock when the column marched with stately tread into the cemetery grounds. A stand tor the speakers had been erected near the mound where sleep the heroic dead. Past this the column filed to the music of fife and mu filed drum. Upon the side3 of the gentle elevations which gradually arose from each side an immense crowd had gathered. The speakers, Major W. H. Calkins and Mrs. Flora Wulschner, were attended by the department officers of the G. A. R. and the Woman's Relief Corps. The grand stand was very beautifully decorated with the stripes and stars. To the platform also were carried the banners of all the Grand Army posts. The exercises began without delay. Prayer was offered by the venerable Rev. Love II. Jameson. Major Calkins was immediately introduced and began his ddrees, which was full of eloquence and power. Mrs. Flora Wulschner followed In abrief bot very happy address, which was loudly applauded. Mr. A. D. Shaw took charge of the ceremonies ot decorating the soldiers graves. The exercises attending these were very beautiful and affecting. The boom of cannon occasionally broke In upon the stillness that was only broken by the occasional reading of the Grand Army ritual. The little girls, over one hundred In number, proceeded In line to the hillaide where sleep the gallant dead, and upon the sod above them were strewn the tokens of love and remembrance, while over all floated the flag of the country they had died to rave, bearing upon its olds the motto, '"Tis sweet to die for or-a'a cciitry." A salvia of artillery was fired above the graves, and as the afternoon tun was falling lew fcj Jhe Wesl the crowd of people began.

to disperse, wending their way homeward with the tfres of patriotism burning brighter for the exerciser they had seen. THE DAT ELSE WU Eli n.

Details of Decoration Ceremonies at Various Towns and Cities. Special to the Sentinel. LcGAKfpoRT, May 30. The heavy rain this morning dampened the ardor of many who had intended to assist in distributing flowers on the graves of the departed heroes who had fought the battles of this great Union, and to witness the laying of the corner-stone of the monument now being erected here to commemorate their many deeds of valor on the battle-field, yet perhaps 1,000 people participated in the very imposing ceremonies, including the Logan Grays, Kniehts of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Grand Army post. Sons of Veterans and other societies, headed by FornofFs band. Arriving at the monument at 9:30 o'clock a. m., Rev. W. H. Daniel olTered prayer, and Major S. L. Mc Fad din deposited the box in the place provided for it containing histories, journsls, papers, coins, emblems, etc., with a list of the various officers cf the United States, the State, the county and the city, the roll of honor of the State, as well as the names of all the oiiicers and soldiers who went to the Mexican and late war from Cass County. The audience listened to some very fire mnsic by the choir led by Professors Glfle and Cushmsn, and aa able cration by Hon. J. W. McGrcevy. The exercises closed with a song and prayer by Rev. E. A. Scott and an address by Rev. L. K. Norton, the G. A. R. ritual and the strewing of the soldiers' graves with flowers. Many were surprised at the magnitude, architectural beauty and life-like simplicity of the splendid monument now being erected by Schuyler Powell, of this city, which is to be unveiled on the 12th and 13th of July next. At Grecucaatle. Special to the BentineL Greekcastle, May 30. Decoration Day was observed in the usual way. It was a holiday for nearly everybody during the afternoon. The Grand Army formed on tbe square and marched to Meharry Hall, at which place the meeting was presided over by Major Joseph B. McClary. The hall was beautifully decorated with flag! and flowers. The address was delivered by Colonel James B. Black, of Indianapolis, and was interesting throughout, bat partook somewhat of a political nature. He referred to the alleged ballot-box frauds at Indianapolis, the action of courts and juries in regard to thpm, bnt did not at any time say anything of the Louisiana fraud of 1870, which would have been just as appropriate. Many of his hearers failed to see the point the Colonel was attempting to make and the application thereof. It was remarked tht the text was good enough, if he had only stuck to it. At lUuffcon. Bixfftos, Mav 30. Rev. W. W. Tinker, pastor of the First Baptist Church here, yesterday preached the memorial sermon to Lew Ddtley Post, G. A. R., in the First Presbyterian Church.

Veteraaa'.. Csm&,JZQ.ZLmarched through a pelting rain to decorate the graves - of soldiers m both cemeteries. Addresses were made by Hon. J. S. Dailey, Key. W. H. Xanders and Rev. N. A.

Nearly 400 students of the Central Normal, one third ladies, with their splendid coilef band, joined in the procession. The exercises were held in the courtroom, which was crowded to its utmost. Tbe oration by Mr. R. B. Blake was a masterly effort and exceptionally free from partisan allusions, which so frequently mar the solemnity of such occasions. The Methodist Episcopal Church choir rendered some excellent and select songs, and especially "We shall meet, but we shall mi es him" brought the tears to many eyes. Nearly HO gravts of departed heroes in the old and new cemetery received the floral tribute of grateful remembrance. At Knlghtstown. Special to the Bentinei. Kbightstowjt, May 30.

R. posts from different parts of the county, the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Knights of Honor, Knigbts of Labor, firemen, city officers and Sunday-schools formed in procession and marched to the cemetery to the music of tbe brass band.

At Frankfort. 8pec!al to the BentineL Frakkkort, May 30. The morning of Decoration Day began with a heavy rain, which lasted long enongh to diminish the

crowd expected to hear Governor Porter's address and the exercises at the fair grounds. Governor Porter did not lose the opportunity for a wholesale and indiscriminate abuse of everybody south of what was Mason and Dixon's line and "their Northern allies in treason." We would not be treated to this Bort of stuff on Decoration Day if Governor Porter was a Democratic Union soldier, but the management in Frankfort somehow never imports that kind of a speaker. At EvansTllIe. Special to the BentineL Evaxsville, May 30. Fully twenty thousand people visited the cemetery today to do honor to the dead soldiers. The G. A. R. turned out in full force and made a splendid appearance. Addresses were delivered by prominent Grand Army men and Hon. J. G. Shanklln was the orator of the day.

Peelle delivered the oration at the decoration ceremonies here to-day to the very large audience which assembled in Crown Point Cemetery. Excitement Among Cattle Dealers. Chicago, May 27. The order f Commissioner Col man quarantining Cook County on account of pleuro-pneumonla created great excitement among cattle dealers and others interested here. Until this afternoon it was feared that the order applied to cattle in transit, which, according to a large shipper, "simply kills the cattle trade of Chicago as dead as a door nail." Professor Law, of the Live Stock Commission, was greatly surprised to hear that Commissioner Colm an bad ordered a quarantine against Cook County. He could hardly believe that any such step would be taken unless he bad first been consulted. Oaly a few days ago he wrote the department in order to correct the Impression evidently prevailing that there was pleuro-pneumonla at the stock-yards. The Champion Bicyclist Lohbov, May 30.

Minneapolis, May 30. No event since the Sullivan-Cardiif fight has caused so much interest as tbe fight between Tommy Warren, of Louisville, the champion feather-weight pugilist, and Tommy Danforth, of New York, to take place at the Washington Rink to-night. It has been an open question which is the better man, and they are so nearly matched in size and weight that the contest between them depended entirely on pugilistic ability. Warren is a quarter of an inch taller than Danforth, while the latter is a little broader across the shoulders than Warren. The men- were weighed this morning. Warren tipped the scales at 118, and Danforth at 119. The articles of agreement called for fifteen rounds with two ounce gloves, Marquis of Queensbury rules, and the man 'having the best of the fight at the end of the fifteenth round was to be declared tbe winner. The nght waa for a purse of $000 and the entire gate receipts, the winner to take all. After several preliminary set-tos the two principals appeared. Werrea was seconded by Patsy Cardiff and John Donaldson, and Danforth by John P. Clow and Daniel Needbam. Both men appeared in perfect condition, and when time was called responded promptly for the first round. For ten rounds the men were pretty eveily matched, and it was give and take, with the odds, if anything, in favor of Warren. The last three rounds Danforth was plainly beaten, but he fought gamely to the end, when be was laid out for good by a blow on the jugular. hie figet by eocnds. First Round Danforth made the first feint, bnt Warren led first with the left and landed on Danforth's breast. A clench followed the closing of the rornd. Second Round Warren reached Danforth's mouth and breast, and they clinched. In the break-away Warren found the left side of Danforth's no Be, which drew blood. First blood for Warren. Third Round Danforth reached Warren's face for a light blow, which Warren returned. Warren got a Equare blow on Danforth's month. The latter reached in, but without tflect. Fourth Round Warren opened by leading his left on Danforth's month. The latter struck back bat Warren escaped. Warren f gain led with his left on Danforth's breast, which Btaggered bim and followed with another on the left eye, which blackened, and in return got one on his own left eye, which colored. Fifth Round After sparring, thel men clinched and in breaking Warren caught his opponent on the left side of the neck. A rapid exchange of blows followed, and as the round closed Danforth landed lightly on Warren's face. Sixth Round Danforth landed squarely on Warren's month. The latter crowded Danforth to the corner, doing telling work on his face, Danforth righting wild. Seventh Round Danforth started in with a rush, and a rapid interchange followed. Warren having a decided advantage, getting in hard blows on Danforth's body and pushing him to tbe ropes. Danforth rushed, but Warren caught him a telling blow in the mouth, closing the round. Eighth Round Danforth led off with his left, but it fell short, and Warren countered with hla left on Danforth's injured left eye. A rush and rapid fighting followed, Warren slipping and falling as the round closed. Ninth round Warren landed a heavy blow on Danforth's nose, followed by rapid and heavy fighting until the round closed. Tenth round Danforth got In two blows on Warren's body and face, but the latter again lound Dandforth's mouth and rushed him to his corner.

First knock-down for Warren. Thirteenth Round Dan for tch came up apparently fresh, but had hardly reached the center of the ring when Warren planted another heavy right-hander uider Danlorth's left ear, which laid h.m out for gcod. After waiting the required ten seconds, and Danforth not being able to get up, the referee awarded the light to Warren. AN EAST WINNER. Gaud aar Defeats Ha&lan In the Kowlng Match at Lak Calamet. Chicago, May 30 Three hundred yards from the finish at Calumet course this evening Ned Hanlan, the oarsman, turned an instant from the pelting rain only to see thrown in his face a stunning defeat from Jacob Gaudaur. The oars of the great ex-champion dropped nervously into the choppy waters, as, with drooping head, he pulled along dejectedly through the ram six lengths behind the winner. Seven thousand drenched and dripping people on the banks gazed pityingly at the loser, and then began a wild cheer for Gaudavr, who crossed the line just as the sun burst through the clouds and shone on the countless umbrellas and waves. When the two oarsmen first came out on the course, ready for a three-mile pull to decide who should be called the champion of America and carry away $5,000 in stakes, the sky was leaden, but apparently did not threaten rain. A slight roughness of the water had no deterring influence, and the start was made with promptness. LI an lan was at once a trifle in the lead, pulling a abort, quick stroke, forty-two to the minute. Gaudaur kept cloe to him with a long, steady sweep, about thirty-eight to the minute. Gradually Hanlan forged ahead, and at the end of the initial mile was fully a boat length In advance. It had been the gnssip that if Hanlan could lead to the turn be wu newly A ceitala winner, but U

Gaudaur reached the buoy first Haulan would never catch up on a stern chae j. Great, therefore, were the expectations of Hanlan's friends to see him nearing the turn clearly ahead of Gaudaur and gaining all the time. While all eyes were straining after the blue and Bcarlet specks in the distance the wind suddenly freshened and huge drops of rain began to falL The lake was soon lumpy from end to end, and the downpour was almost blinding. Hanlan turned first, two lengths ahead. Time, 10:02. He was pulling about thirty-five strokes a minute at this point, and rounding to, Gaudaur struck about the Bame gait. Hanlan stopped an instant here for some purpose, but did not lose the lead. He kept well to the front, as from the start, until entering the third mile. There Hanlan commenced to flag. Bo uneven did his stroke become, and bo great exertion did It seem to require, that many believed his boat was leaking or had shipped one of the choppy seas, Gaudaur was rowing magnificently. He showed the same long, steady sweep he had taken at the onUet, but faster. With machine-like precision he parsed poor, struggling Hanlan. A boat's length of water between them cculd be seen, then another and at last or a more additional. "Hanlan's beaten," murmured the crowd. "No, no," shouted others. "See bim spurt, see him spurt." And spurt Hanlan did with a vengf ance. The multitudes on shore and afloat held their breaths, then regardless of rain, tossed hats and umbrellas in the air and started to yell like Comanches. The cheers died on their Hps. Hanlan could not stand the pace, and again Gaudaur's great sweep began to tell. It was then that Hanlan lay back just an instant and turning his face from the rain shot a glance over his shoulder at Gaudaur. The tingle glance was enough. Hanlaa saw himself irretrievably beaten. Gaudaur

was six lengths to the fore. Seeing Hanlan surrender all hope, Gaudaur magnanimously slackened the speed and passed the stand an easy winner by four lengths. Time, 20:29. It was a fine performance under the adverse conditions. Hanlan was seen by an Associated Press reporter immediately after tbe race, and asked what he thought of the result. "I do not think the best man won," said Hanlan, "though I acknowledge I was fairly beaten." Cjaestioned how that could be, the ex-champion grew taciturn, and would only say that he did not wish to make any excuses. Persistent querrif s, however, brought out the statement from Hanlan that he had not been in the beet of condition. ''I have been suffering from a cold," he said, "and it told on me exactly when I most wanted it not to." In sharp contrast to the glum appearance of Hanlan was the cheery, sun browned face of Gaudaur. "That was tbe hardest race I ever rowed," said he. "I just had to do my level best," he added, "and I did it." Tte referee of the race was Hanlan's choice, Hamilton Busby, of New York. Hanlan gets 40 rer cent, of $5,500, the total gate receipts. The remainder goes to Gaudaur. The figures 20:29 were from Lyman Glover, president of the Farragut Club, who was aboard the press boat and was understood to be the time-keeper. His facilities for doing so were very inadequate, the press boat, owing to unfortunate circumstances, not beln e in good position either at the start or fini&h. Jacob Stnmpf, of St. Louis, and James Rogers, of Toronto, were on the referee's boat, close to the oartmtn throughout the race. Both Mr. Stumpf and Mr. Rogers carefully timed the contest, and both agree that the three miles was made in 19:30. This time was this evening declared official. Gaudaur. therefore, broke the record, the best previous time being his own against Teemer over the same course, 19:54. On every side to-night expressions of admiration for the feat are heard, coupled with conjecture as to what might have been done had the conditions been at all favorable. Undoubtedly if the day had not been rainy from early morning the record-sma.-hlcg would have been witnessed by a crowd numbering 30,000. H&nlan, though beaten, not only forced Gaudaur to break all records, but also broke them himself. Hanlan's time, accordirg to the official record, was 19:34. His backer, Peter Duryea, taking courage from this fact, stated to-night that he would send Hanlan to Australia to beat Beach and then return and again attempt to defeat Gaudaur. Mr. Duryea attributes Hanlan's defeat mainly to the fact that his boat was unfitted for rough water, while Gaudaur's was peculiarly adapted to it, Hanlan also inclined to this view of the matter later in the evening and brightened up after it was announced as certain that he had surpassed the world's best previous record. Boss Wins tbe Race. New Yoek, May 30. Wallace Ross and George Hosmer rowed single near Flushing, I j. I., at 6 o'clock this evening. The announcements were for a three-mile race for $1,500. The start was made in choppy water. Hosmer got away first and in the first quarter mile gained a length. There were three turns and the announcement was made by tbe jndges that the first half was made in Vx minates. On the first turn Ross fouled both Hosmer and the stakeboat, but secured tbe lead and held to the end, winning by two feet in what was announced as 14:05. Tbe jndges were not in position to see the finish, and a man in a boat told them a'oout the finish. The time is correct; the explanation of this phenomenal time must be found in tbe measurement or nonmeasurement of the course. RACES AT CINCINNATI. General Disappointment Cansed by Heavy Bain. Cikcixka ii, May 30. A heavy rain fell for several hours before time for the first race at the seventh day's meeting at Latonia to-day.

A CRITICAL PERIOD.

The Great Strike cf the Chicago Baillirg Indes Reiches i Criü. A Csctest Bet-ween Mister Musss mi ttj Brick and Had Men. All tha Stnttgems of Modern Strikes t) h Brought Into Play. Tbe Stove-BIoldere' Strike In Plttaborg Nearly Ended Bailey Declines a Be-Electlon Etc., Etc TBE CHICAGO LOCKOUT. Seventeen Thousand Idle Schemes of the Master Masons. Chicago, May 30. The next six days are liable to witness the critical period in the great strike of the building trades. For four weeks strike has followed strike, terminating in a lockout cfiecting to a greater or lees extent almost every trade in thecity. Fully 17,000 men are idle, and it is stated, upon good authority, that over 1,000 firstclass mechanics have left the city. A careful estimate shows that wages to the amount of $9C0,OCO have been lost to the strikers. It is impossible to estimate the amount cf capital which has been diverted from the building trades. Well-known Eastern capitalists have instructed their Chicago agents to make no investments pending the adjustment of the strike, and in eevtrel cases large enterprises will be diopped until next year and perhaps forever. The master masons, realizing that so long as the trades unions were governed by their present laws and customs the strike was liable to be duplicated at any time, rcEolved to make a supreme effort to force the abolition ot the abuses of which, they were conspicuous victims. The code of principles and working rules adopted would, if enforced, result in the complete abolition of the unions as now constituted. The envelopments of the last week have demonstrated that if this is accomplished it must be done by tbe master masons. They formulated the plan of campaign, and have asked the kindred trades to indorse their code of principles and follow In their footsteps. The response to that appeal was sot so enthusiastic as was expected by Me est a. Prussing, Downey, Tapper and other prominent contracting masois. TLe rnsster carpenters adopted the platform, but nullified their action by refusing to tet any date upon, which it wes to ?o into eflect. The leccllectlon of a desperate struggle with their men, in which honors were admitted to be even, had a restraining eflect uton this powerful organization. A resolution will be cflered at the next meeting of the master carpenters making nine hours a day's work, but from present indications it will be defeated. The conservative element in both master masons and carf enters i3 composed of those contractors almost entirely dependent upon union labor. In many cases a protracted strike means bankruptcy to the smaller contracting carpenters. Many of the leading master carr,enters ar9 owners of sash, door, blind and planing mills, the ownership of which gives them a great advantage in a strike or lockout. An analysis of the situation proves that the strike has resolved itself into a contest between the masttr masons and their employes, the brick-lajers and hod-carriers, who have formed an offensive and defensive alliance. The other trades represented in the Builders' and Traders' Exchange are in a state oi armed neutrality, and, while in active sympathy with the master masons, are afraid to render any practical support. The matter masons will depend almost entirely upon brick-layers from other cities. The next few days will demonstrate to what extent this source can be utilized. Tbe answers to the advertisements Saturday were encouraging, and it is believed that plenty of good men can be Eecured. The leaders of the brick-layers promise that no violence will be offered to any of the imported brick-layers. Every efiort will be used, however, to induce the new comers to join the union, end all the strategems of modern strikes will be brought into play. He Will Not be a Candidate. Pittsbceg, May 30. It has been a matter of suimiEe among;the Knights of Labor throughout the country as to whether Mr. William H. Bailey will be a candidate for re-election as master workman of the Miners' National Assembly, No. 135, Knights of Labor. Mr. Bailey authoritatively stated to-day that he would not be a candidate. He said: "I leave for Cincinnati to-morrow, where the convention will be held, commencing on June 1. It will continue in session six or eight days." My resignation as Master Workman waa handed In six months ago. I can not accept the tffice again. It requires the full attention of one person, ana if I agreed to accept the office I would have no time to dp anything else, Mr. Bailey states that the investigation into the coak strike has ended, and tbe ' matter will go before the gereral Executive Board of the Knights of Labor. StoYemoldera' Strike. Pittsecbg, May 30. It is thought that the stovemolders' strike in this district will soon close, as the manufacturers have offered to withdraw the St, Louis patterns and resume work at once, on condition that the molders sign an agreement to work at the old wages for the balance of the year. A Political Wrangle. Chicago, May 30. A beerj garden was the result of an attempt to night to hold an adjourned meeting of the Chicago bar for the purpose of nominating six judges in place of the combined Republican and Democratic machine ticket, places on which are said to have been sold to the highest bidder. The report of the committee appointed at the last meeting to suggest a dozen names was not unanimous. After great confusion it was decided to hold a rimary to-morrow at which only licensed awyers shall vote. The idea Is to make a selection from fifteen names recommended by tbe majority and minority of the Nominating Committee, There is considerable opposition to this plan, however, and a strong probability exists that the entire movement will be wrecked by lack of harmony. .
