i ESTABLISHED I *SO. | | J. 11. ESTILL, Eclllor and Proprietor, f PHILADELPHIA'S PARADE TWELVE THOUSAND MEN AND 300 FLOATS IN LINE. All the Governors Cheered as They Rode Through the Lines of Specta tors—The Weather all that Could be Desired -Grand Stands Settle but no One Injured. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 15.-The last centennial of the events of revolutionary times began this morning. If there is one thing more than another for which the 1.500,000 people who are temporary resi dents of this city of centennials are thankful for, it is the weather. Even up to yester day morning the prospect for to day’s pa rade was gloomy, and it was a question whether or not it should have to be post pones!, as for the past week fog and threat ening weather have held the day. When the special bulletin of the Signal Service ap peared yesterday morning stating that special observations indicated cool and fair weather for this vicinity, it was displayed at every conceivable point, and buoyed up the faltering hope of countless thousands. This morning the prediction was fulfilled, and all fears of bad weather disappeared with a clear sky, obscured here and there only by stratus clouds. EARLY ASTIK. Philadelphians and their hundreds of thousands of guests appeared on the streets early this morning in thoir holiday garb, light-hearted and all bent upon the single object of making the celebration a fitting one. All day yesterday and last night, visitors, including distinguished guests, military ami firemen, arrived by every possible conveyance, and the dozen railroad depots were taxed to their utmost in accommodating the throng which had flocked to “the Cradle of Liberty ”to bear witness by their presence of their love and veneration for the historic document which gave them liberty and freedom, and made this a government of the people, by the people and for the peo ple. All the hotels were filled to overflow ing bv yesterday morning and every inch of surplus space had been filled with cots and other means of temporary rest, so that many of the strangers hn<* to resort to the beureau of inform vftnn, which was estab lished during the early days of the Constitu tional Centennial “boom,” and which has performed an important mission since its inception. A TREMENDOUS CROWD. It is safe to say there are at least 200,000 visitors from a distance, in addition to thou sands from ndjatefi counties of Pennsyl vania, New LuaMy, Delaware arid Maryland. Hardly a State or Territory will remain un represented in the three days’ festival. The streets to-day presented a beautiful appear ance. In all directions, as far as the eye could reach, it was one mass of bunting and decoration. Many of the newspaper offices and public buildings made a lavish display, decorators having worked early and late to complete their work in time. At daybreak this morning they were still at work putting the finishing touches, which have been de laved more o ■ le*j by the inclement weather. Every arrangement hail been made by those in charge, and the day was one of the most eventful ones in the history of the civilized world. The monster civic and in dustrial pageant started from Broad and. Dauphin streets shortly after 10 o’clock, and marched to Broad and Moore streets, a dis tance of nearly five miles, and then coun termarched through one long continuous line of observing thousands, and buildings decorated with the flags of all nations. ON NORTH BROAD STREET. North Broad street was so crowded as to be almost impassable as early as 7 o’clock, and great crowds betook themselves to the streets, notwithstanding the efforts of the police to keep the latter clear. Hundreds of carpenters and decorators, who had been at work all night, had transferred the magnifi cent thoroughfare into a vast amphitheatre, with seats raised high on either side. The people were crowded on the sidewalks and m tlio streets, and many of them were able to catch only occasional glimpses of the pageant as it passed. On Lower Broad street there was scarcely a house, public or private, that was not covered with hunting, or In other ways suitably docorat fjl The decorators strived for novel effects, and in this they were highly successful. Some houses were almost covered with heroic statues of Columbia, surrounded bv the flags of all nations, while other fronts were completely concealed with bunting. Odd Fellows’ hall exhibited a banner an nouncing that place as “The spot where Franklin drew the lightning from the clouds in 1753,” and at other points busts of Washington wore mounted in front of houses and profusely decorated. RUSHES FOR THE STANDS. Many of the stands were constructed in two and three tiers and most of the seat' therein were crowded as early as 8 o’clock, and in several cases the crush for admit tance was so great that a •umber of women fainted. Nearly all tiie side streets leading into North Broad were roped off and were filled with trucks, on winch huge tiers of seats were arranged and rapidly sold. Many of tiie handsome residences on the street had their window sashes removed and seats mounted on the interior for the accommo dation of friends. Tho sight before the an (earanoe of tho parade was n remarkable One. the street being black with humanity, While high above their heads every house and stand was crowded with multitudes of men, women and children, women and children largely predominating iu tho grand stand seats and windows. START OF THE PARADE. Sixteen telegraph stations had been placed along the mute of the parade, which were established for the purpose of commu nicating from one end of the line to the other, and just as a telegram flashed over the wire announcing that the liageont had started from Broad and Dauphin streets, at 10:35 o’clock this morning, Gov. Denver rode by in his carnage and was greeted with a hearty round yf applause. Bv 11 o’clock the invited guests, (invernors, Foiuign Ministers anil others Isgaii to |>our Into their assigned places. As tin l different. Governors passed up or down Broad street and were recognized, they re ceived round after round of cheers, and Indies and children joined in the greeting bv waving thoir handkerchief* and parasols. Broad street, from one end to tiie other, was roped off, and 1,300 police officer* were oil duty to preserve order. Traffic on all streets crossing Broad was en tirely stopped, except at intervals of forty infinites, when the ropes were let down, mid btris-t cars anil other vehicle* and pedes trians were alloweil to cross. ON THE REVIEWING (STAND. On the reviewing stand tho Constitutional Centennial Commission was officially represented by Hon. John A. Kaiwon, Presi dent; Hon. Amos H. Little, Chairman of tfi" Executive Conuiiittea; Hampton L. ('arson, Secretary; F. Carroll Brewster, Jr., 1 < irreqiondiiig Meeretary, and Assistant decretory Black, who occupied seats mi the front of the stand. Tu Central portion of the stand was reserved for the '"•Vernon of the Htales with their staffs. Among thorn wore Gov*. Kawysr of New ■‘Uiupehire, liigg* of Delaware. Groan of 'll ,ll # if fl itlPtll Vf tfHf wl #iii i2 J 4/ 4 14,41 4 M| <4^4 New Jersey, Larrahee of lowa, Gordon of Georgia, Beaver of Pennsylvania, Hughes of Arkansas, Lounsburv of Connecticut, Buckner of Kentucky, Thayer of Nebraska, Pennoyer of Oregon, Richardson of South Carolina, Wilson of West Virginia, Scoles of North Carolina, Foraker of Ohio and Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia. On this stand also were Senators any Representatives in Con gress, many of whom were present; Com missioners of the various States and Terri tories, thirty-three of whom were present; the Diplomatic Corps, foreign Consuls, ami specially invited guests of the commission. AT THE CITY HALL. The head of the procession, load by a cor don of mounted police, reached the City Hall, at Broad and Market streets, at 11:40 o'clock. The crowd was so immense at this l>oint that the police had great ditlleulty in drivingthem back. The street was, however, cleared in time to prevent a stoppage of the moving pageant, which proceeded around the west sine of the City flail, and on past the grand reviewing stand to Wal nut street. The Patriotic Order of the Sons of America, having on one of their floats “Education is tho basis of freedom’’ attracted great attention, as did also the Continental Club, of Wilmington, Del., with their ancient costumes. The street being clear, tho men marched widely abacast, and were displayed to the best pos sible advantage Everybody seemed to be imbued with the idea that the success of the day rested upon their individual shoulders and acted accordingly. SOME OF THE FLOATS. All of the floats were tastefully decorated, and all of the agricultural ami other machinery was in full motion. Notable among the floid s wore those representing the advancement ‘.) civilization of the red man. There were .. hibited Indians in their paint and feathers and children from various training and educational institu tions, all employed at various arts and in dustries, and showing a remarkable degree of skill. Behind them came an Indian band of nineteen pieces and nine platoons of Indian cadets who marched with unerring step amid cheers of thou sands As they passed the reviewing stand they fairly captured its occupants, who cheered themselves hoarse. It was indeed the feature of the j>ageant as contrasted with the teepees and other illustrations of Indian life in the far West. PROPORTIONS OF THE PARADE. To give an idea of the largo proportions of the industrial pageant, it may be stated that at 2:10 o’clock only soven out of twenty-three divisions had passed by the review ing stand, and by the time the seventh division had passed southward the head of the column had arrived on their counter march, having traveled twenty-three squares south of Market street. Several observation stands settled considerably on ac count of their heavy loads, but none of them collapsed, and the march was made without casualties. In the lower sections of the city, in the vicinity of South and Lombard streets, the police were obliged to make pretty free use of their clubs in keeping the crowd back of the line, but beyond a broken nose or so, nothing of consequence occurred. The police arrangements, as well as the anibular.ee service of the Rod Cross society, worked admirably and prevented any se rious accident. :JOO FLOATS IN LINE. There were in line 300 floats, each bearing a representation of some particular branch of industry, 12,000 men, 3,000 horses and 150 bands of musii., At the hear! of the column rode Col. A.

IRISH LANDLORDS CONK ICR. Dublin, Sept. 15.—At a conference of Irish landlords to-day resolutions were adopted by a unanimous vote denying that present rents prevailing in Ireland are ex cessive, or tnat general and reasonable abatements have Ixien refused during times of distress. Rents have not been raised in Ireland during the period between IS4O and ISXO, whereas in England, Scotland and Wales rents in the same time were increased between -4 and 111 jx>r cent. The landlords of Ireland, it is further maintained, linve rendered important services to Irish agriculture and they do not, as alleged, neglect their duties toward either their property or the community. “If," say the resolutions, “we were guided by the most selfish motives, we would still lie fools to evict tenants whose bankruptcy our for bearance would prevent. Ho deplore the alienation now existing in Ireland be tween landlords and tenants, and we desire to restore amity. The recent evictions were forced on us through political motives.” In conclusion the reso lution says: “We demand that the govern ment speedily and finally settle land legisla tion in Ireland on just terms to all parties concerned, including compensation to land lords for loss of exclusive ownership, and a reduction of the public charges on land.” GERMANY AND BULGARIA.

Fair agaiu becomes a prominent stock holder and accepts the Presidency of the bank in place of J. C. Flood, who retires though remaining as a director.

Maekey and Flood were not supposed to lie cordial, though any personal disagreements, if there were any, were removed a few days ago when negotiations were entered into for Mr. Fair’s return to the bank. Senator Fair recently sold his South Pacific Const rail road to the Southern Pacific Company nnd is supposed to have been well equipped financially to take the controlling interest in the hank.

The Post says: “That this announce ment created some surprise in business circles is but mildly stating the case, as the street knew perfectly well that between Mr. Fair ami his ex-partners there was some thing in the nature of a savage feud, and especially be tween Messrs. Fair and Mackey, who is credited with having publicly made some not very Mattering allusions about Fair and liis characteristics. Other rumors, which had almost drowned themselves in the sea of s|>e< ulation, floated up and help'd to give weight to the theory that the Nevada Bank, or rather Messrs. Flood nnd Mackay, were financially embarrassed, and were paying high as J per cent, l’or loans, and have even borrow ed collateral on which to seettro loans. The troubles of the Nevada bank have iieen brought about, it is universally admitted; by the late financiering in the wheat deal. This fact Senator Fair, in an interview vas terday, virtually admitted.” PIERCED BY THE GRIM ARCHER. Green B. Beard and James Barron . Hope Dead. Salem, Va., Sept. 15.—C01. Green B.

I j 5 CEATS A COPY, f PROTECTING TIIE PEOPLE THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEOR GIA CAN’T EXTEND. Consideration of the Bill Indefinitely Postponed by the House- A Long Debate Before tbe Conclusion was Reached The State’s Georgia Rail- Road Stock to be Sold. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 15. —In the Senate to-day Mr. Roberta presented a memorial from the Methodist Conference at Bruns wick, which was read. It wns in the na ture of a petition requesting the passage of inws preventing the desecration of the Sab bath, with special reference to railroad and steamboat <-onipanle Mr. Pringle introduced a bill to amend section 1374 of the Code of 1882, in reference to selling spirituous liquors near the State Lunatic Asylum. The following bills passed: A bill to lie entitled an act to change the time of holding the fail term of the Supe rior Court of Union county. A bill to incorporate the town of Kenne *aw in Cobb county. A bill to incorporate the town of Rwaina boro, in the county of Emanue). A resolution for the relief ot' E. E. Pollock, tax collector of Pulaski county, for failure to make a proper settlement with the Comp troller General of tho State. A hill to authorize the mayor and council of tiie town of Thoinasville, to issue bonds of said town, tho question of bonds or no bonds having first r>een submitted to the qualified voters of said town. A bill to amend the several acts of Pal metto. in Campbell county, by providing for the wo.-king of the streets in said town, the collection of taxes, and for fixing tho salarios of its officer* and for other purposes. In the House. In the House to-day the special order was the bill of Mr. Howell, of Fulton, to amend the charter of the Marietta and North (leor gia railroad so os to permit its extension to Atlanta. Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, moved an indefi nite postponement. Mr. Tate, of Pickens, hoped tho hill would be passed. It would tie a great benefit to tiie people of ins section, and it was their desire that the bill be considered favorably. He was not asking the passage of the bill or account of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, but he was asking it on account of the great benefit that would accrue to the people of North Georgia. If the Legislature ever intends to grant the charter, now is the time. It will lie granted sometime. Mr. Howell, of Fulton, in advocating the bill said lie did not believe that aJiy argu ment was necessary to convince the mem bers of the House of the justness of this measure. We are naked to extend this line from Marietta to Atlanta, ami it sliall not in any way come in contact with the West ern and Atlantic railroad. The Marietta anil North Georgia Railroad was probably ten years of age, and it was built by 250 convicts donated by the Htate. The road bail outgrown itself, and now they ask the privilege to extend it. Tha effects upon the Western and Atlantic rail road would he small, as it would only come into contact with it from Mnriettu to At lanta. Tiie House granted, by an almost unanimous vote, the privilege to the East Tennessee railroad to ouild to Rome. HARBINGERS OF PROSPERITY. Mr. Bray, of Fulton, followed in a Rpeech in favor of the bilk Ha wished that every county in Georgia had a railroad. Tha Nort.fi western Btates were cut into pieces by numerous, roadfl which had caused them so much universal iirotqierity. The extension of the rood would give the people of North (reorgia an outlet. He wanted competition. In every deportment of life* competition is necessary. The bill laments the northern jKirtion of Georgia. The representatives along tho line asked that the measure lia passed. Whatever benefits one portion of] the State redounds to the benefit of all otilers. He appealed to the House to vote down the motion to indefinitely postpone, and to consider tho question fairly. Mr. Ham, of Hall, spoke in fuvor of tha bill. Mr. Perry, of Gilmer, thought it due hist section that the people lie heard. His people would he sorry to hear that the gentleman from Whitfield was op[sising the measure. It. wns useless to argue the necessity of tbo bill. His county bml been without a rail road until 1884, when the Marietta and North Georgia was extended fifty-four miles. He hoped the House would grant! this extension in deference to the wishes of the people who ore to tie affected by it. WILL INJURE THE STATE ROAD. Mr. Berner, of Monroe, opposed the bill because it would injure tiie State road. The Htate road occupies a tremendous posi tion to-day. Only a few weeks ago when the Governor called the attention of tha Legislature to the faet t lint some action should be taken regarding the sale or lease,, we also received with universal disapproba tion a letter claiming betterments by th* lessees. If you pass this Mil you necessa rily reduce the earnings of tiie Htate road. He saw the evil the I-egislature committed In chartering the East Tennessee road, and was now to be seen as a grievous mistake. Mr. Felton, of Bibb, said: “Tho people of Knoxville have rained 11250,000 in aid of this road. They realized the benefit of the road and wanton It extended, and all that the peo ple along the line are asking is the same favor of the Ixigislature that has been granted other portions of Georgia. The extension of the rood will result in a great material benefit to a certain section, nnd would thereby boa holp to the whole Htate.” . GOOD RESULTS. He thought the building of tho East Ten nessee and Georgia road had lieen Ja very great benefit to the Htate, for in one in stance alone that he knew of it had saved an nually to the people of Bibb county $500,000. The Htate of Georgia done hail no more for tbe Marietta and North Georgia railroad than for the other roads. She hail aided tbe Macon and Brunswick by $1,000,000 gave $750,000 to the Atlantic and Gulf rail road. $300,000 by indorsements of Linds to the “Northeastern, and $300,000 to tbs North and South road. Mr. Lamar, of Richmond, fnvorod the hill, and was surprised ut the opposition to it. On the motion to indefinitely postpone, the vote was 70 yeas to 00 nays. The House held an afternoon session for reading bills the second time. The House Finance Committee has re ported favorably the resolution of Mr. Hor rel, of Webster, to tell the States 18ii share* of (ieorgia railroad stock and apply tha proceeds tit the public debt, maturing Jan. 1, ’(fit. This stock is now worth 197. Sentenced for Burglar)-. Pensacola. Fla., Hept. 15.—Alvin House, a colored servant working on tb* premise* of (.'apt. Thomas W.
