j ESTABLISHED I*so. ) I J. H. EfeTILL, Editor nnd Proprietor, f A THRILL OF PATRIOTISM. CULLY 80,000 TROOPS IN LINE AT PHILADELPHIA. President Cleveland and Gen. Sheridan Cheered by the Spectators-The G. A. R. Posts Show Especial Marks of Respect While Passing the Chief Magistrate. Philadelphia, Pa., Sept, IC.—Eleven years are gone since the national centen nial began. This will be the last. Only the record and memory will remain after to-morrow. The wheels of history mark a century since the fathers gave to the na tion the constitution which has fostered material growth more than fabulous to the old world. These three days will end the story of a hundred years. The record has been a good one. A patriotic spirit com manded each citizen to assist according to his opportunity in giving the impulse of success to this occasion. Philadelphia never makes slow response when the honor of the country is to be sustained or deeds of men —brave, wise, patriotic—are to be celobrated. Nature was kind to Philadelphia yesterday, and to-day she again showered her gifts upon the city with a lavish hand. The day opened bright and clear. A better one could not be asked. SOUND OF DRUM AND FIFE. Soon after daybreak the people were astir and clothed in holiday raiment. They were one and all ioining in with a will to make the second day of the grand occasion even more of a success, if such a thing were pos sible, than yesterday. Sounds of fife and drum early told that preparations were being made for the grand street demonstra tion of the nation's protectors. Even during the time of the late war when men left the plow, workshop and all to uphold the honor of their country with the deadly implements of warfare, there were not as many soldiers in Philadelphia as there were to-day, and even when that bitter strife ended and those who remained to tell the tale of countless bloody battles marched back to their beauti ful homes their numbers did not even reach a shadow of what was here to-day. 30,000 SOLDIERS IN LINE. Nearly 30,000 uniformed soldiers passed in review before the Chief Magistrate and the high officers of this and other govern mentsDefore the noonday sun. At their head rode the gallant cavalry hero, Gen. Phil H. Sheridan. During the past two days there arrived in the city by various railroad lines nearly 400,000 people, and tc this number must be added the vast number who reached the city by other means than railroads. There were at least 500,000 strangers within the city’s gates to-day, and even with this vast throng, in addition to the 1,000,000 of in habitants, the page of history made yesterday passed away without a blot. Not a single accident of a serious nature marred the occasion. Everybody was good natured and forbearing, and had hut one object in their mind's eye—peaceful and happy cele bration of the greatest event of civilized times. The enormous size of some of the displays in yesterday’s pageant prevented them from occupying any other street than Broad, but to-day’s demonstration being purely iflilitary the display passed through all the prominent streets, thus giving a greater number of people an opportunity of witnessing the display than were allowed to yesterday by reason of the limited space afforded them. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND ASTIR EARLY. President Cleveland was not allowed to sleep very late this morning, for the day was packed full of incidents for him. and he had to start out early. His escort, the First City Troop of cavalry, under Capt. Grubb, reached the Lafayette Hotel long before Si o'clock, and in a few minutes the committee of the Commercial Exchange drove up in barouches and paid their res|>ects to the President Chairman Thomas M. Thomp son and B. K. Jamison were already there, and in a few moments Mr. Cleveland was ready for his first public duty of the day," the reception at the Com mercial Exchange. The City Troop cleared a passage for the party and Mr. Cleveland, leaning on the arms of .Messrs. Thompson and Jamison, entered a carriage waiting for him. The members of the committee followed and in a few moments tho party was clattering down Chestnut street. At the custom house the inspectors and other employes were drawn up in line and were rev>owed bv the President. STREETS ALMOST IMPASSABLE. The streots wora almost impassable, and when the Exchange, which is located on Second street, above Walnut, was reached, it took all the efforts of the soldiers to clear a way into the building. In the meantime, the members Of the commercial, stock, drug, grocers and importers, maritime, petroleum, lumber, oil and wool exchanges, und the Board of Trade had assembled in the large hall on the third floor, and were listening to the strains of the Weecaroe legion Bond. The arrival of the Presidential party was the signal for repeated cheering, and when the Chief Magistrate had made his way to the rostrum at the lower end of the hall the cheering broke out again, and the names of Gov. Beaver, Mayor Fitler, Secretary Bayard, A. J. Drexel aud George W. Childs, were also cheered. Chairman Brook anuouneed that as soon as the Presi dent had spoken a few words the members would be given a chance to meet him. FORMALLY INTRODUCED. President, Cornly, of the Commercial Ex change, said: 1 have the high honor to present tn my fellow members and our guests. Ills Excellency, the President of the United Stattw. The cheering broke out again, and it was some moments before Mr. Cleveland could be heard above the dm. After quiet had been secured he spoke in a firm and clear voice. He said: 1 am glad I have the opportunity to meet so large a representation of* the business nien of Philadelphia. It is well that we should not entirely forget, in the midst of our centennial jubilee, luai the him and purpose of good government lend after h i to the advancement of the mat trial Interests el Hi" people and Incivasc of their trade and bommeree.

This spirit will prevail when the business men of the country cultivate political thought, when they cease to eschew participation in political action, and where such thought and action are guarded by better mo tives than the purely selfish, and exclusive bene fit. lam of the opinion that there is no place in the country where such a condition can be so properly and successfully maintained as hen l among theonlightened.and enterprising business men of Philadelphia After his sjieeoh Mr. Cleveland announced himself as being ready to meet the gentle men present, and one by one they walked up the steps of the rostrum ami grasped his hand, and then shook hands with Secreta ries Bayard and Fairchild, ex-President Hayes, Gov. Beaver. Mayor Fitler, A. J. Drexel and George W. Childs, who received with him. After the receiption the Presi dential party drove to the reviewing stand, at Broad and Walnut streets, to witness the military parade. LAVISH DECORATIONS. The decorations on the streets, buildings and residences were practically the same as those of yesterday, ami ovary street through which the column passed was almost a solid mass of tricolored bunting and flags of all nations. In addition to those on Broad street, stands had been erected on Chestnut, Market and Arch streets, and the streets themselves were covered by a solid mass of humanity. Twelve thousand and fifty of the city’s police force were on duty shortly after daybreak, and were shortly after wards reinforced by eighty of the Fairmount Park Guards and a large number of special officers in citizens’ dross. All of tho streets through which the parade passed were roped off from curb to curb, in order to insure clear passage for ih? troops, and street car traffic was delayed at intervals for a short time. The line was opened, however, every forty minutes to allow street cars, vehicles and pedestrians to pass through. ORDER OF THE LINE. At the head of the military parade rode Gex. Sheridan, followed by troops of the regular army, officers and sailors com manded by Admiral Luce and the Marine battalion. Then came the State troops in the order in which the States ratified the Constitution, or were admitted into the Union. Dela ware came film, followed by Pennsylvania, which made the most imposing display in numbers, having eighteen regiments in line, besides a dozen batteries of artillery and detached companies with full division and brigade staffs. New Jersey followed with 1,500 troops. Next came Georgia, represented by Gov. Gordon and staff and the Gate City Guard of Atlanta; Massachusetts with one brigade and two detached companies; Mary land with the Fifth regiment and an addi tionai battalion of 1,000 men; South Carolina with Gov. Richardson and staff, and the Governor’s Guard and Greenville Guard; New Hampshire with a battalion of three companies; Virginia represented by Gov. Lee and a battalion of 500 men; New York by Gov.

Foraker and one regiment; Maine by a battalion of 400 men; lowa by Gov. Larrabee and staff and the Governor’s Foot Guards; West Virginia by two companies; the District of Columbia by one battalion and three detached companies. CLEVELAND ON THE STAND. The President arrived at the reviewing stand at J 1 o’clock, escorted by the First City Troob of cavalry and a throng of dis tinguished guests. Shortly after 11 o’clock Mrs. Cleveland appeared on the balcony of the Lafayette Hotel, followed by Private Secretary Lamont and wife and two or three guests. Mrs. Cleveland received an enthusiastic round of applause as she ap peared in front of the balcony dressed in a handsome black silfc dress, with white insertions and a beautiful white feather adorning her hat. At just 11:30 o'clock Gen. Phil Sheridan, mounted on a handsome sorrel horse, came up the street at the head of a vast cavalcade of military, preceded by a squad of mounted reserves. As he passed the reviewing stand the Presi dent arose and tipped his silk hat. It was then one continuous round of huzzas. The troops one and all marched with head erect and eyes looking straight ahead, more like graven figures than moving humanity. Gen. Sheridan, notwithstanding the plaudits of the multitude, role erect, looking neither to the right nor left. SALUTING THE PRESIDENT. As each platoon passed the President their commander gracefully raised his hat and saluted, receiving in return a bow of recog nition from the commander-in-chief of all the troops. After passing the stand, and almost directly in front of Mrs. Cleveland’s balcony, the cavalrymen gave marvelous exhibitions of their skill in drill exercises, wuich were applauded to the echo. Behind Gov. Beaver came over 10,003 Pennsylvania militia, who marched mid performed the different evolutions like veterans. Some of them Mere veterans and carried flags that had been with them throughout the Into war. The entire parade was the most suc cessful ever seen in modern times and it would seem that the height of military per fection had boon reached by the troops of the various State's. It would indeed be hard to imagine anything more inspiring than the 30,1X10 uniformed militiamen, all of whom were headed by regimental bands. The commanders of each turned “faco about” as they reached the President’s stand, and with the cheers of countless thousands and the sweet strains of music the throng of people was completely enraptured. a. A. R. POSTS SALUTE. The rear of the line was composed of the Grand Army of the Republic, and as each post passed in front of the stand its com mander gave the salute to the President, and wus recognized. Post No. aof this city carried in the centre of it. column twenty one flags captured by them during the war; they were a muss of tattered, und lorn colors, but they were honorou hy the spec tutors with cheers whose echo seemed to never die. It was a fine appearance they made, soma walking with the aid of crutches, and all of tb"in wearing on their Visages the unerring marks of time. They were a picture in contrast with the youth ful militiamen. During the time they were pissing the President lemained standing, with nis head uncovered, and answers! each salute as it was given. Orders liad previously lieou issued hy the department commander ul the Grand Army of tliedle public that only post comma id rs should salute, the men in line to walk facing ahead. Tills was not strictly adhered to, however, and many of those of the tank and file passed bv the stand with uncovered heads, and when Garfield Post No. 4, of New , York, came tin the front ranks turned “face about” and sent up a rousing cheer for f lu* Clncf Magistrate, which he graciously acknowledged. Their cheer was taken up by the crowd and car ried to the echo About <J,(kKI Grand Army men were inline. It was just 8:45 when the last ol the Grand Army pasted by. THE RECEPTION TO THE PRESIDENT. The reception to Prosidriit Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland at the Academy of Music benight was one of the greatest social suc , imish- ever witnessed in this city. It untuned a* though every prominent man and woman her*, h*l f*lt It inrutubeiit Uhon lltaiu to ifii honor to the head of the SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1887. nation and his wife. Long before 8 o’clock the street in front of the Academy was a mass of carriages, and fullv 10,000 people found their way into the building before the tired President had grasped the hand of tho last comer. Every one was in evening dress, and the scene presented was one of unusual brilliance. The immense building was most beautifully decorated with flags, flowers, cut and growing plants, and the galleries and boxes were festooned with ribbons. Before the President and his party reached the Academy every seat in the building had an occupant, and the guests of the evening amused themselves liefore undergoing the ordeal of handshak ing by viewing the immense mass of people from the box known as the Prince of Wales box. opfevELAND’s ARRIVAL. Just before 0 o’clock President Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland accompanied by Justices Harlan and Miller, Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild, Col. Lamont, ex-President Hayes, Mrs. Earnout, !m-s. Cadwalader, Mrs. Franklin Dick, Mr. and Mrs. Amos R. Little, Gov. Biggs of Delaware, Hanni bal Hamlin and Mrs. Hamlin, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Harrah, and Mayor Fitler took up their position a t the rear end of the stage ready for the re ception. John A. Kasson, of lowa, Presi dent of the Centennial Commission, acted as master of ceremonies, and ushered in Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan and the visiting diplomats. Then the officers of the army, navy and militia, under the lead of Lieut. Gen. Sheridan made their bows, and received the grasp of the hand from the President and his wife. After the soldiers and sailors bad passed the rest of the audience followed. It was nearly 13 o’clock before the hand shaking was over and the worn out visitors were allowed to go to their hotel. The President wore a dress suit which became him a great deal better than the frock coat of the morning, and Mrs. Cleveland was clad in a beautiful white satin gown with ostrich trimmings. In her hair she wore several clusters of diamonds. The crowd in the building was something enor mous, but the police ai rangements were so perfect that everything passed off without a jar. AT THE CLOVER CLUB. The dinner at the Clover Club this even ing was a red letter one in the history of that famous coterie of dinners and wags. Covers were laid for 150 at the Bellevue hotel, and the tables were uniquely deco rated with vari-colored lamps. President M. P. Handy presided.

BRINGING THE PRESIDENT. At H o’clock Col. McClure and William M. Singerly, the committee on the part of the club, proceeded to the Lafayette Hotel to conduct President Cleveland to the banquet room, and thirty minutes later they drove up to the front of the hotel with the President. As the two com mitteemen appeared with their guest the entire company arose and sang a verse of the song, “Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue,” which ended with “Three dicers for the President of the United States,” as that dignitary was seated by the side of President Handy. Col. McClure introduced President Cleve land as follows: Commodore Singerly has promised that our honored guest shall talk an hour, but you all know gingerly. [Laughter.] I now have the honor to Introduce the tirst President of the United States whom the Clover Club have had the pleasure to entertain, THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS. President Handy, with mock solemnity, passed the “Loving Cup” to Mr. Cleveland, who, after receiving it, said: Gentlemen of the Clover Cluh: I thought 1 was sura that 1 knew the charae ter of Mr. Singerly. but if I bad known that I was to he a victim of his 1 think I would have failed to have entered this banquet hall [laugh ter], and if I had failed to have appeared here I suppose it would have been the most disastrous thing that had ever happened.

[Cheers and laughter.] I understand that you haven rule regulating the proceedings of this club. I <lo not know enough about it to fol low it, but I propose to suggest a privilege and avail myself of it—thnt every man shall do as he sees fit . lam a little pressed for time. A good many'people are waiting for me. I think very likely that 1 v.-ould rather stay here than go elsewhere. [Cheers and applause, j 1 do not say that it is so; 1 say it may be so. [Laughter.] Gentlemen of the Clover Club, I beg to thank you for this reception. As President Cleveland retired with Col. McClure and Mr. Singerly, the company an iso and sang, “Oh, he’s a jolly g<x>d fel low.” RUN DOWN AT A JUNCTION A Sleeper Hurled into a Ditch, But No One Seriously Injured. Chicako, Sept.

They Decline to Countenance the Cir culation of a Petition. Chicago, Sept. 16.—The consultation as to whether they would do anything more to save themselves was held by the condemned Auarchists this morning. They talked over the same tiling yesterday and renewed the discussion this morning. They came from their cells at. 8::k) o’clock and until o’clock they talked earn estly and turned the matter over for and against. Ael one friend of all the men, and a prominent member of the Defense Association, saw them this morning to learn the result of the discussion. He was induced to say that t hey had discussed two things— one the question whether they shall ap|>oal to the Supreme * 'ourt of the United Stales, and the other a monster petition it. is pro posed to get up pleading fore xecutive clem ency. NOTHING TO ASK PARDON FOR. The last measure was voted against by every man there. They feel, said (he in formant, that they have done nothing for which to ask the pardon of society, and that society ought rather to ask their pardon. As for the appeal to the Hu promt! Court, that is a different matter. Some of them feci that t hey may use every resource to be found in the laws and then if they die their death will accuse the system The member of the Defense Association said that three of the condemned men were opposed t<> an appeal to the Supreme Court, but. he refused to disclose their names. He also said that no matter what the final decision of the men was their friends would go ahead and make every effort for a re versal of judgment by the Supreme Court, lu the event of that failing a petition would lie gotten up. A MARKED PAPER. Ottawa, 111., Sept. 16.—. Justice Ma cruder received yesterday a copy of the Milwaukee Daily Labor /icnetc, which has the words ’’Free speech and free press” en closed in heavy black linos, the type being set backwards. The head lines “Law and Order Triumphant; Society to bo Saved by Judicial Murder on Nov. 11” were marked to attract the Judge’s attention. The decision of the Anarchist case gives entire satisfaction here. Everybody breathes freer, and with the ex ception of perhaps a dozou sympathizers with the Socialists, every!sidy says “justice has been done.” The reports that the case will lie taken to the United States Supreme Court, does not meet with approbation. Lawyers generally t hink it will not be done. MONEY HARD TO GET. Dun & Cos Report Stringency at All the Money Centres New York, Sept. 16.—1 t. G.

THE VOLUNTEER BEATS THE MAY FLOWER BY TWENTY MINUTES. f A Poor Showing Made by the Thistle Under Unfavorable Circumstances— A Schooner Leaves Her Behind in a Scrub Race -The Volunteer Chosen to Defend the Cup. Sandy Hook, Sept. 16.—The first of the trial races between the Boston sloops May flower and Volunteer was sailed to-day. The Mayflower is now owned in New York, but. she is still regarded as a Boston boat. At 8 o'clock this morning it looked a* though it would be a glorious day for the race. The wind blew a perfect gale all night, and at daylight was bowling through the rigging of the Thistle at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. The Thistle was all ready to follow the racers over the course and at 8 o’clock was standing out toward the lightship, where the start was to bo made. NATURE or THE RA( E. The race was twenty miles to leeward and return. The Volunteer and Mayflower passed out by Handy Hook at 1>;40 o'clock. They were still in tow, but were preparing to hoist ) heir canvass. The Thistle was sail ing close behind them as they passed the Hook. She had her whole mainsail set, and rolled a great deal in the heavy sea. She lugged the same old dingy behind. The wind was then blow ing from the west north west at the rate of thirty-two mile* an hour. The tug Is wit cast off the lines which held her to the Volunteer and the Mayflower Ilk 9:48 o'clock. A SCHOONER BEATS THE THISTLE.

The Lockwood at Romer beacon win a mile and a half be hind the Thistle. She gradually overhauled the foreigner until finally off the bar both vessels were sailing on even terms. Thera is no question but that the Thistle was sailed for all she was worth, as her sails were full at the time. THE START. The flagship Electra reached the lightship at 10:15 o'clock, and, taking upher position, drew an imaginary line. The wind harl gone down a little, and the dial at the ob servatory registered twenty-four miles. The Mayflower and Volunteer were then beat ing around to the north of the flagship, awaiting the preparatory signal. Thestart ing signal wns given at 11:10 o'clock. The Volunteer crossed the line first at 11:11:45, and the Mayflower at, 11:14:58. Jay Oould's A talari hi also passed out to ac company the boats over the park of tlie course which was to leeward. The Thistle took her spinnaker in at 11:30 o’clock, and allowed the boom to rest on tha pirt side. The main boom was to the star boerd. Notwithstanding the absence of the large spinnaker, the Thistle appeared to hold right on to the two American racers. The Volunteer at, It! o'clock wasa little over a mile ahead, and to the south of the May flower, and tiie Thistle was to the south of the steel sloop. The wind at that time was blowing twenty miles an hour, and the racers were dashing through a iross-choppy sea. At 12:15 o’clock the Volunteer was gaining steadily on the Mayflower, and the Thistle was fast falling behind. She is now sailing with her spinnaker set. All three yacht* are steering southeast. WENT OEK LIKE RACK HORSES. The Volunteer broke out her spinnaker on the starting line. The Mayflower fol lowed her example a minute before crossing. They had the mainsail, club topsail, fore staysail, jib and spinnaker; et,,and started off like racehorses, with their booms to star board ami spinnakers to port. The Thistle, which hurl lienn in the south of the starting line, starred two minutes after the Mav flower, hut did not set her spinnaker for eight minutes after starting. The Volun teer, at 11 >3O o'clock was leading by nearly three quarters of a mile. The wind was then still from the west northwest, and the yachts laid a straight course out of east southeast. At 12:25 o’clock the position* of the yachts were unchanged The Volunteer was still over a mile ahead. The Thistle had assumed third place. All three of the yacht* took in their spinnakers at 12:05 o'clock, and were then heading due east. The wind was from the northwest and failing slightly. The Volunteer jibed her boom over to the port at 12:18 o’clock, and at 12:30 o'clock wm*i the starboard tack, heading for shore. The Mayflower went about on the same tack at 12:21 o'clock. The Thistle still kept her course. At 12:35 o'clock both yachts were still on the starboard tack, heading down the Jersey coast. The Volunteer wn- two mile* ahead, but the Mayflower was to windward It now looked a* if the boats were sailing a triangular course, liu ving turned the stake Issit off Long Branch. It was hazy off shore and a y'eat deal could not be seen. A TRIANGULAR COURSE. There was a strong wind blowing from north to north northwest all day. It reached a velocity of thirty miles an hour. Added to the splendid conditions of the element* was the excellent judg ment of the committee, who de cided after the yachts got under way t hat a triangular race should be sailed. That decision gave the Contestant* a <urse of thirty-eight miles to sail over, with the wind on every hand. They hail a run to leeward of ten miles, a stretch of nine mil#; and return and a beat for home of ten mileC, At every turn and ill every weather, except during the first part of the run to leeward, when the Mayflower sailed I sitter than the Volunteer, the lat ter I tat, her opponent. Tho outcome of the day’s rare was that the Volunteer was choeen by the America’s ('up Commit tee, who Judged the event from the flagship. The Electro is to meet the Thistle in an In ternational (tontest. The Tbistla was out 100, but her handling was tit such a kind during the first half of the rare a* to give no idea of what the could do. After that she wart evidently sailed fir all she wa* worth.
