Old Memories

Recalled By Old Veterans In a Pleasing Way Saturday. Saturday the members of of Companies E and I, Indiana volunteers held a reunion at the fair grounds. Some 120 old veterans were present, many who had traveled miles to be once again with the comrades with whom they had marched through that bloody affray far their country's cause. Many grasped hands in a hearty hand shake that many never again grasp those same hands. The morning was spent in recalling old scenes and at one o'clock that sat down to feast on eatables, vastly different from those they ate together back in the sixties. Nevertheless it was a sumptous repast greatly enjoyed by all. After dinner short speeches were delivered by Dr. Steele, Hon R, A. Fulk: Rev. J. B.Hamilton and Capt. Howe of White Hall. Each speaker referred to the thrilling scenes those present had passcd through or participated in. It was about dusk when the happy company packed their canteens and haversacks and wended their way homeward. A Gambling Race Track. Plans were perfected in Chicago yesterday for the building of a new race track in Indiana) a short distance from the Moby course. A tract of land between i5fJand l&tf acres was leased by the promoters, and the task of surveying the field will be begun at once. The land is midway between Roby and Whiting, at a little station called Forsyth, and this may be the new course, althongher that is a matter of doubt. A consolidation of all the running how interests in and around Chicago has been formed embracing the legal "lights' of Harlem, Hawthorne and Roby tracks, and Hawkins; Coiitloh and either Corri"gah or Brenock has been given a gtibdly interest In the new venture. Work on the grand stand will lie begun as soon as th.3 tract is surveyed, and a season of at least fifteen days' racing will be indulged in this fall. It is figured that not more than thirty days will be consumed in converting the praire land . into a passable racing, plant. The Ihdiaha laW recognizes a season rjf ihe above length, abd it iS said that everything will be conducted within the letter of the aw. Some months ago Barney Martin wa arrested on the charge of having robbbd Robert Burns of $300.

THE MOST STYLISH DRESS

THE FIRST.

Gen. Hunter's Regiment First On Snodgrass Hill. Blonmington is proud of the fact .. that one of her distinguished citizens is soon to receive recognition that the facts of history justly entitle him. At the battl of.Chickamauga, Gen. Morton C. Hunter's regiment was the first in Snodgrass Hill, which proved to be the key to that great contest. General Hnnter's friends were confident of this claim, but there were a few who claimed that others were the first. The matter has been finally and forever settled by the Commission, to which the matter was referred, and the following inscription will be placed on the monument soon to be erected: Indiana's Tribute To her Eighty Second Regiment Infantry, Colonel Morton C. Hunter, Commanding First Brigade (MeConnell). Third Division (Brannan). Fourteenth Corps(Thomas) This regiment, Colonel Morton C. Hunter, commanding, reached the front Sept. 19th, at 11 a. m. and supported Church's battery which had been sent up to VanDerveer's line. At night it was moved to the extreme right of the Corps. On the morning of Sept. 20th it oceupied the right of the second line of the brigade, east of the Dyer house and north west of the Brotherton house. When the front line was driven from the works by Longstreet's

fierce attack, just before noon, Col. Hunter ordered the 82nd to charge, which it did In gallant style, re-

capturing and holding the works, but being immediately outflanked and almost surrounded, it fell back fighting until it reached the site of the monument at 12 m. The 2nd Was the first regiment of Brannan's division that formed a line of battle on Snodgrass Hill, which line was firmly held against all assaults until night put an end to the battle. Killed 20; wounded 68; missing 23. UNCLE TOM. A Good Crowd Greets a Good Show Dayis' Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. held the boards at the opera house last night. The -company showed on a short notice, but nevertheless there was a good crowd to greet them. The show was aboe the average really good. The old time play never grows old in the hearts and minds of theatre goers, though it has been butchered by pirate companies. Manager Davis is the Barnum in Uncle Tom business and only employs the best talent, all of whom are paid salaries and they get them each Sunday. The band was excellent far above the average band. The orchestra kept the people in good humor between curtains. The characters were all well presented, Uncle Tom, Topsy, Eva and Marks being es. pecially worthy of men ion. The performance will be repeated again tonight,'and no doubt the house will be cro wded, as it should be. The company gave a good street parade yesterday morning that will be repeated today. Manager Davis will see that the children will be wel! taken care of and provided with good seats. Owen Case Tomorrow. The Owen case came up for trial before Justice Dixon yesterday morning at. nine o'clock. The defendant asked for a change of venue which was granted. The case will now come up for trial Wednesday morning at nine o'clock, before Justice Fleener, who
