Berlin, Sept. 2.—The celebration of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of
Belan was continued to-day. The sun
shone brightly and the weather was per
f, Immense crowds of sightseers thong
ed the streets.
At 8 o'clock this morning Emperor Wil
liam reviewed the First regiment of the
guards before the Schloss and at the
conclusion of the review personally deco
rated the standards of the troops with oak
leaves. Half an hour later his majesty
started for the parade grounds, where he
was to hold a review of the veterans of
the Franco-Prussian war, who had come
from the United States to take part in
celebrating the German victory.
The parade of troops and veterans on
the Tempelhoefer field was attended with
unwonted splendor. The American vet
erans were given the place of honor on
the right railing, near the Sternhaus. The
weather was very warm and a haze hung
over the scene.
At 8:45 o'clock the empress drove to the
parade grounds in a carriage drawn by
four horses ridden by postilions. The
carriage was preceded by a detachment of
her majesty's own bodygaurds. The em
press wore an ivory cream colored cos
tume and a lace bonnet, and carried a
sun shade of the sumo color. Her majes
ty's carriage was followed by the van
guard.
At 8:55 o'clock the commotion and cheer
ing on Belle Alliance street gave the sig
nal of the emperor’s approach and his
majesty soon rode up on the grounds fol
lowed by the King of W urtemberg. Who
was attired In a Bed Hussar uniform. The
emperor was attended by a glittering suite
of generals, princes and foreign attaches.
He at once rode to the point where the
American veterans, about forty in num
ber, were stationed, and addressed a few
words to each of them, asking in what
regiments they had served. His majesty
asked Mr. Folcher, where he was from,
to which Mr. Folcher replied: “Your ma
jesty, I am from Koeniggratz."
Hearing another of the veterans was
from Brandenburg, he said: "Then we
are close compatroits; Unsere landes
leute.”
To a Saxon who had served In the One
Hundred and Fifth Saxon regiment, he
said: "You will see your liero-king to
day."
To Mr. Ritze of Eisenach, his majesty,
said: “Your town has grown so lately
that you would hardly recognize It."
He told Mr. Enderley of Augsburg that
the products of the industry of his native
town wore found everywhere abroad.
“When I was In Sweden this summer said
the emperor, “I found everywhere Augs
burgers.’’
To Mr. Kalbit of Pottweit, Wurtemburg,
his majesty said: “Your king also is
here.”
The King of Wurtemburg then rode down
the first line of Infantry, which was two
miles long and back along the second line
which was formed of cavalry, artillery and
the commissariat, the entire force on re
view numbering 30,000 men.
The emperor took his position at the
head of the parade and led his own regi
ment, the First Life Guards, past the
empress.
When the Potsdam Red Hussars came up
the King of Wurtemburg galloped to the
front, and placing himself at their head,
led them past the empress at a trot. The
king afterwards rode to the position of the
Amerian veterans and wished them much
enjoyment and prosperity In their new
country.
Amid tremendous cheers the emperor en
tered the city at the head of his color com
pany, passing through the Friedrichstrasse
and Unteden Linden, where the children of
the Berlin schools, numbering about 31,000,
were formed In line, awaiting the arrival
of his majesty. Over 100,000 persons wit
nessed the procession, the windows and
roofs of the buildings along the lino of
march being crowded with spectators and
every available space being occupied.
Cheers were heard on every side and
handkerchiefs were waved and hats
thrown into the air. The whole city was
in a holiday fever. The first brigads of
the Berlin troops, the Gardes du Corps,
again formed in line at the arsenal and
marched to the castle, and the emperor
caused them to pass in review on the
great square of the Lustgarten, with the
bands all playing. At noon, while the
colors were entering the castle a band in
the tower gallery played the march from
“Aida.” “Die am Rhein.” and
other selections.
A great demonstration In honor of the
day was held in front of the Germany
monument at Rudesheim yesterday. At

wvre crammed into the broad Ludwlg
cr.uefen, in front of the Feldherrn halle.
Mighty bonfires were lighted in the square
of the castle and fifty heralds in costume
zounded fanfares at various points.

cession, in which 60,000 persons took part,
arrived at the hall, where many banners
were displayed.
Burgomaster Brunner delivered an ad
dress, at the conclusion of which he call
ed for cheers for the house of Wlttels
ha'he, the empire and the kaiser, which
'"ere given with great enthusiasm.
Prince Leopold replied on behalf of the
regent. He called upon all never to forget
that Bavaria had done a great work for
German unity and to remember also what
bad made the Freiheits Krlege, neces
sary. if the union of German was ever as
sailed. Prince declared, the army
of Bavaria would be ready, as it was in
Hi'j, to defend the sacred possessions.
Tlie procession then passed before the
prince, depositing wreaths on the monu
ment erected in memory of soldiers who
perished in the war of 1870.
Emperor William to-day telegraphed to
Prince Bismarck as follows: “To-day,
when all Germany celebrates the world
historic capitulation of Sedan. It is a ne
cessity that my heart should n w!y as
->ire me that I ever remember with deep
b felt gratefulness the imperishable work
that your grace achieved at that great
f'me, for the fatherland and the Ger
man cause.. Wilhelm."
Prince Bismarck replied: “I lay my most
bspectful thanks at the feet of your ma-
Jesty for your gracious greeting and rec-
fpje lUoftting |
ognition of my co-operation in the na
tional work of the departed kaiser koenig.
"Bismarck."
Emperor William has appointed his
aunt, the Grand Duchess of Baden, hon
orary colonel of the Granadier Guard, of
which regiment the empress is colonel.
Herr von Koelier, Prussian minister of
the interior, has issued a decree prohib
iting the holding of meetings by socialists
to protest against the celebration of Se

rious churches at Stuttgart to-day and
memorial addresses were delivered at the
graves of the soldiers who fell during the
war of 1870. Later, gymnastic contests
were held and at dusk huge bonfires were
lighted on the Hazenburg and other hills
around the city.
At Manheim artillery salutes were fired,
processions headed by bands of music
marched through the streets, and the
dome of the city hall was brilliantly il
luminated during the evening. The veter
ans union placed wreaths upon the Kaiser
Wilhelm monument and Burgomaster
Brounig made an ardent speech to tne
crowd that had gathered on the Mess
platz.
After the parade, when the emperor
turned to ride homeward, he called out,
“Good-bye,” to the American veterans
and their wives.
Herr Krupp, the gunmaker of Essen, to
day presented each veteran of the Franco-
Prussian war residing in Essen or Its vi
cinity the sum of 100 marks in recogni
tion of the services rendered to Germany
by the men.
At lserlohn, Prussia, a fete took place
at the Warrior monument and memorial

authorities and 1,000 guests were present.
The Cologne choral union gave a great
volksfest in the gardens of the Floral so
ciety, at which patriotic songs were sung.
During the exercises on the pcgjide
ground this morning the emperor shook
hands with Mr. Schlucker of Chicago, who
is the spokesman for the veterans of the
war of 1870, who have come from Ameri
ca to take part In the celebration of Se
dan dgy.
His majesty said he was glad to have
seen so many old warriors who came
across the Atlantic to take part In the
celebration and asked Mr. Schlucker If
he had brought his wife with him. On
Mr. Schlucker replying that his wife was
in a carriage near by with several other
ladies, the emperor saluted toward the
carriage, and said: "Enjoy youselves and
safely return to your new homes. I wish
you all prosperity In the new fatherland."
THAT RIKAWAY EARTHQUAKE.
Failure of Washington Sclentls . (o
Get n Record of the Shocks.
Washington, Sept. 2.—Considerable sur
prise Is expressed here that no develop
ments in regard to the recent earthquake
oscillations, so plainly perceived in other
localities, have yet been announced from
any of the scientific bureaus In Wishing
ton.
When, six years ago, almost to a day,
the Charleston, S. C. t earthquake occur
red, a distinguished scientist of the Smith
sonian Institution delivered an address,
in which he demonstrated that there was a
volcanic belt running across the United
States in which Washington was the very
center. Elaborate
derstood, would thereafter be taken at the
naval observatory and other places to
register any future seismic disturbances,
but without result In the recent disturb
ance.
It is said, howeevr, that when the pho
tographic plates of the Washington mon
ument, which was automatically taken at
the naval observatory yesterday morning,
is developed to-morrow some indications
as to whether that great column, 550 feet
high, departed from the line of the per
pendicular during the period of the earth
quake shock may be apparent.
MANY REMAINED AWAKE.
Two Black Rapists In the Marlboro
.lull—Lynching Probable.
Marlboro, Md., Sept. 2.—Many residents
of Marlboro remained awake last night,
fearing that John David Gage, charged
with attempting an assault on little Miss
Stewart, would be lynched.
A gang of strangers passed through the
town late at night, but used no violence.
It is questioned whether they were colored
men, whose purpose was to protect the
prisoner in case of attempted lynching or a
gang of men blacked. They remained con
cealed in different localities around toe jail
but disappeared at daybreak.
The morning train brought another cul
prit. Graham Mason, colored, charged with
committing an assault on a married wo
man, Rachel Ross, also colored, at her
home near Branchville.
PLOTTED TO ROB HIMSELF.

B*so unil Buns.
Chicago, Sept. 2.—Shortly before noon
to-day, while Cashier Raymond O’Connell
of the Masonic Temple Association was
taking money from the safe, a young man
approached from behind and grabbed a
cash box containing 8750. The thief started
down State street with his plunder, fol
lowed by 500 citizens and was captured
by a policeman. During his flight he threw
the money into a garbage box and it was
recovered. Certain suspicious circum
stances led to the close questioning of
Cashier O’Connell who finally confessed
that the robbery was planned by himself.
He says the thief is James Gordon, of
Louisville, Ky.

New York, Sept. 2.—This is the first La
bor day that has not witnessed a general
parade of all the trades in this city and its
vicinity. This fact'is considered significant
in labor circles of the general condition
this year of New Y'ork working people.
With but a few exceptions there are no
questions to be agitated and no victories
to be celebrated.
The Marcus labor organization decided
some time ago that a parade was not ne
cessary that the various unions should
spend the day as the individual members
saw fit. Asa result there was to-day a sud
den exodus from the city in every direc
tion.
Picnic parties, great and small, took
advantage of the fine weather this morn
ing and traveled to the sea and to the va
rious pleasure grounds and jiarks about
the city.
An important parade was that of the
1,400 letter carriers of the city. It was de
cided some time ago that the New Y'ork
carriers should spend tlie day in Phila
delphia and swell the parade of letter
carriers in that city. The carriers marched
down Broadway to Cortlandt street and
down Cortlandt to the Pennsylvania de
pot, where tiiey took the train shortly af
ter 11 o'clock for Philadelphia.
The anarchists of this city started out
early to attend their picnic at Mantzel s
park, Staten Islund. Herr John Most and
Herr Calus Timmerman addressed the
crowd and enlarged upon the significance
of labor day to American workmen.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2.—Labor, day was
celebrated here by a parade of 1,800 work
ingmen through the principal streets.
Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 2.—The celebra
tion of Labor day here to-day was suc
cessful. There were 1,500 workingmen in
the parade. Afterward an address was
delivered by Thomas Wisdom, vice presi
dent of the Iron Moulders of America,
whereupon lengihy resolutions condemn
ing the aggressiveness of capital were
adopted.
Resolutions of condolence to E. V. Deils,
extending to him warmest greetings,
were adopted. One of the preambles
reads as follows: Whereas, We see a
spvo-ign state Invaded with national
ire ps, defying the protest of Its gov
ernor, and in defiance of law and freo
American citizens, our brothers of the
American Railway Union, prosecuted by
the government on demand of this same
money devil upon a process so weak that
they were glad to shunt It on to a side
track and secure conviction without a
jury on a charge of contempt of court—
a cowardly avoidance of the true issue,
all telling qs in language plain that we
are slaves”
St. Augustine, Fla., Sept. 2.—Labor day
was generally observed here by closing of
the stores, and by base ball und other
amusements by the athletic association.

letic games occupied the attention of many
during the fore and afternoon, and a
cloudeast sky, with a cool north wind,
male the temperature exhllerating.
Utica, N. Y., Sept. 2. —Labor day was ob
served by the parade of the members
of the various unions. A pleasant fea
ture of the day is the announcement that
the wages of the employes of the Globe
woolen mills have been substantially ad
vanced. An unpleasant system of fining
has been done away with and an advance
of one-half per cent, has been granted the
weavers. The mill is now running at near
ly full capacity, and other additions to
the force will be speedily made.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 2.—Labor day in
Brooklyn was generally observed by a ces
sation of labor, but aside from the wav
ing of a few flags on public und private
buildings, there were few decorations.

imprisoned by the federal courts for con
tempt.
Newark, N. J., Sept. 2.—Considerable Im
portance is attached here to the observ
ance of Labor day. The opening of the
Waverly fair attracted thousands of per-
sons from the city, while the monster pa
rade of German organizations In celebra
tion of the twenty-fifth rniv. i -ury of the
foundation of the Newark G* rman hospi
tal caused a very general suspension of
business. Over 10,000 women and men. rep
resenting the various singing and athletic
societies, appeared in the llr.
Chicago. Sept. 2.—Dissension marked
the celebration of Labor du\ 1898, in Chi
cago and two rival organisations of labor

the result of the long pending dispute be
tween the labor congress and the trade
arid lalK>r assembly.

Terre Haute, Ind., Sept. 2.—Labor day
was celebrated here with a parade in th“
morning and exercises at the fair grounds
in the afternoon. There were 10,600 at the
grounds, many of whom listened to the
speeches of Senator Voorhecs und Col.
McLean, ex-deputy commission! r of pen
sions. Col. McLean had been introduced to
speuk when there were calls for the read
ing of the letter from Eugene V. Debs und
so persistent was the demand that tho
speaker hud to pause and suspend his re
marks to permit the letter to be read.
Senator Voorhees referred to this inci
dent luter on and said it was natural that
Deb's fellow citizens wanted to hear from
him. The senator said: "I con
sulted with Deb's counsel when
the case was before the supr< me
court and I know that Debs Is suffering a
penalty that the constitution does not
warrant. A lawful conviction must be
preceded by an indictment and trial by a
Jury. A ranker, grosser and bitterer piece
of injustice never blotted the pages of our
federal Judiciary. I am the last person to
be responsible for William A Woods be
cause I opposed his conflrrnanon by the
Senate. 1 did so because he Is a narrow
man. He has ability, but he lacks the un
derlying principles of honesty. I have no
fear In denouncing the decision of the su
preme court. I denounced its decision tn
the income tax which will be as odlus as
the Fred Scott decision."
The senator advised his hearers that
they must not violate the laws, but should
elect the men to make laws that would be
acceptable to them.

THE FITZEL MURDER CASE.
An Instrniuent Maker Who Sharp
ened Holmes Knives.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 2.—There were
no new developments In the Holmes-
Pttzei case to-day.
Albert Whittling, an expert Instrument
maker of this city, met H. H. Holmes on
Oct. 3, 1894. Holmes called at his place of
business, 30 Virginia avenue that day
with two cases of instruments. These
cases were of brown leather. One case
contained two knives, and a saw. The
knives were about 20 inches long; one had
a white handle and the other a black.
They were quite sharp, pointed at the
ends and the blades bore a few dark spots.
In shape they resembled ordinary carv
ing knives. The saw was of very fine make
and fifteen inches In length. The other
case was much smaller and contained,
according to Mr. Bhiffllng's recollection,
eight knives of various sizes and shapes.
Holmes asked Bhlflling to sharpen all
the knives, saying that he would return
for them the next day. With him on this
occasion was the boy. Howard Pitzel,
and a strange man with a beard.
Holmes did not call the next day. as
he had promfsul, hut returned Oct. 8,
and secured the instruments. r n t j, e ]aßt
visit Howard Pitzel was again with
Holmes, but the strange man was not.
Holmes soemed to be In a hurry, paid for
the work and left at once. These knives
were doubtless to be used to dismember
the body of young Pitzel before It was
burned In the Irving house. 1

resenting over 1,000,000 members of va
rious unions. Mr. Holmes said that though
differences might arise during the ses
sions of the congress, he felt sure that all
the delegates were actuated by one mo
tive—the welfare of the working classes
of the United Kingdom.
At the conclusion of the chairman's re
marks, the mayor of the city delivered
an address of welcome to the delegates.
Samuel Gompers, ex-president of the
American Federation of Labor, and P. J.
McGuire, vice president of the federation,
are fraternal delegates from the United
States.
The mayor in the course of his speech
alluded to the growth of Cardiff, which,
he said, in this and other respects, Is sup
posed to resemble Chicago. Here Mr.
Johns interrupted the mayor by crying
out, *• hope not.” The Interruption was
received with laughter.
The congress then proceeded to the elec
tion of a presiding officer, the balloting
resulting in the election of Mr Jenkins, a
shipwright.
J. H. Wilson decided to postpone till
to-morrow his challenge of the parlia
mentary committee excluding delegates.

M’CAKTHY lUIiBN AS AFPKAL.
South Kerry Klreliira Eilmrtrd In
Support Mr. Farrell.
London, Bept. 2.—Mr. Justin McCarthy
has issued an appeal to the electors of the
south division of County Kerry, exhorting
them to support Mr. Farrell, the candidate
for the seat who was chosen by the regu
lar convention. Mr. McCarthy denounces
the candidature of Murphy as
treason against party discipline and
declares that his nomination was
due to a conspiracy concerning
which he (McCarthy) hus hitherto lieen si
lent. For three years, he says, there has
been an increase in the campaign against
the unity of the rlsh party which reached
Its climax In the baseless falsehoods utter
ed by Mr. T. M. Healy at Omagh, when he
asserted that the Irish parliamentary com
mittee had Sold seats for Kngllsh gold.
Such a state of things, Mr. McCarthy de
clares, means the bankruptcy and destruc
tion of the Irish cause.
The Fall Mall Gasette’s lobby reporter
hus had an Interview with several mem
bers of the antl-l’arnclllte section of the
Irish party regarding the appeal Issued to
the electors of South Kerry by Mr. Justin
McCarthy.
All of the gentlemen Interviewed con
curred In the opinion that the document
was a surprise to the party. Mr. McCar
thy, they all said, had not consulted the
committee of the party before Issuing the
appeal and it Is surmised that he had aeted
upon the advice of only Messrs. John Dil
lon and Thomas P. O’Connor. The docu
ment has produced a profound seitsatlon
and has widened the breach.

cent Mhovvinw on the Start.
State Camp, Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. 2.
The fifth annual meeting of the New Jer
sey Static Rifle Association, which com
menced at Sea Girt this morning, w*
marked by the strong shooting of tha
Georgia team, composed entirely of Sa
vannah guardsmen.
The day was devoted exclusively to
practice shooting. The Savannah boys
made such a good showing that they will
very likely be heard of to good advant
age when the big matches are decided
later In the week.
On the GtW-yard range the Savannah
boys made their best records. The fol
lowing are the scores on the second round:
Austin, ; Myers, 27; Sergt Screven, 12;
Capt. Cant), 17; Hunter, 42; Cupt. Postsli.
10; Klchberg, 42; Freeman, IS; Mercer, 31;
Wilson, 13.
These are out of a possible GO.
The shouting of F. C. Wilson In th*
Trenton Interstate fair match was remark
able. On the 200-yard range he scored 31
out of a possible 36, and on the 300-yard
range 33, making a total score of 67 out
of a possible 70. Private Wilson won the
medal last year by scoring 33 and 31 re
spectively. He Is the hero of the Geor
gia delegation to-night. The absence of
F. C. Wilson, Richmond and Uurpett,
who were shooting In the medal matches,
detracted somewhat from the average
score on the 600-yard range.
Capt. Williamson said to-night that
he was well pleased with the showing
made by his men.
Everything about the camp Is strict!/
military und the best discipline Is main
tained.
The Thirteenth Infantry, United State*
army, from Governor's Island, arrived to
night, and were given a rousing recep
tion.
The Massachusetts team Is due to-mor
row morning.
One of the prominent sharpshooters Iff
camp Is Col. Cecil Clay of Washington,
a member of the Alaska cavalry. Tha
colonel has but one arm, but this doe*
nut prevent him from making excellent
scores In the ranges.
The Pennsylvania team showed up to
day. In pruatlce they did some excellent
work.
To-morrow at S:3O o’clock In the morn
ing the regimental Inter-state team match
at known distances, will be decided. It
Is open to teams of six from the regimen
tal, battalion and separate company or
ganizations of the United S.tates army.
For four successive years the District of
Columbia hoys have carried off the trophy.
They expect to duplicate their perform
ance this year.
To-day's practice firing was for the pur
pose of selecting the best men from each
team to represent that team in the big
match, but their names have not been
announced.
