' ■
THE GRAND PARADE OF OLD
WARRIORS IN NEW ORLEANS
YESTERDAY.
GEORGIA WELL REPRESENT!D
Last Night the Reunion Ended and
Once Again the Homeward
Trend is Be
gun.
New Orleans, May 22 —The annual
parade, probably the most interest
ing feature of the United Confederate
Veterans-’ reunion so far as the rank
and file is concerned, took place today
and was witnessed by groat crowds
of cheering spectators.
The parade formed in St. Charles
avenue near Lee Circle at 2 o’clock
and began its march through the bus
iness section of the city.
- The point of interest along the line
of march was the St. Charles hotel,
from the balconies of which the pa
rade was reviewed by city officials
and a number of distinguished guests.
Many novel and .interesting features
ftftere introduced in the parade this
year. The line was led by the First
cavalry troop of the Louisana National
guard and the Memphis Bugle corps,
followed by a highly decorated tally
lio containing one young lady from
each southern state as herald and
one as sponsor for New Orleans.
Next came General John B. Gordon
and his staff.
The first division consisted of the
Army of Tennessee department led
by General Stephen D. Lee. Imme
diately behind General Lee and his
staff came the Florida division, which
was followed in turn hy the divisions 1
from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
.T^slawApd,-MMgjl
\
'Walker in command. Car
•uiina division came -.irst, then the
•' division, the Virginia div
ision, the Dstrict of Columbia division
. and the South Carolina and West
Virginia divisions.
The next division consisted of Ihe
Transmissippi department of the the
United* Confederate Veterans, com
manded by General W. L. Cabell, who
was attended by his staff. Behind
them marched the six divisions of the
department containing the divisions
of Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Indian
Territory, and Oklahoma, and those
from the Pacific division. Following
the last division was the section as- 1
signed to the Sons of Veterans, who
are also holding their reunion here.
The various camps made a fine show
and many of them had entire uniforms
of gray.
A nnmer of carriages contained dis
able veterans who desired to be in
the parade but were not able
to stand the strain of marching. It
was a continual cheering for these
old crippled veterans from the time
the parade started until it ended.
The parade was dismissed at Canal
street and the veterans retured to
their state headquarters.
The reunion has been one of the
greatest in the history of the organi
zation. New Orleans has lived up to
every promise made the association
and has added to its reputation for
hospitality, and caring for great gath
erings.
During the week the visitors have
had one-continual round of pleasure
and nothing for their comfort and en
tertainment was left undone.
The bulk of the visitors will leave
for their homes tonight but a large
number wil! remain here until Sat
urday.
Some of the Brunswiekians here are
to .remain until Sunday while some
few of them will leave in the morn
ing.

The people who reside in the va

a petition to council asking that body
to refuse the board of education the

more rapidly in the future, and there
fore, the citizens of this portion of
Brunswick are desirous of preserving
the park in its entirety, believing that
at some future day it will be needed
as a breathing place undisturbed by
any adjacent factor and therefore we
ask council to select some other
place in the vacinity and there are
a number of sites which can be pur
chased at a reasonable figure.”
Tho petition also states that the
paaks were set aside for for the spec
ific purpose of giving, people a place
for recreation and rest and not for

meeting of Georgia Bar association
has been announced several of tlio
speakers have already been selectedj

ing will be the most successful ever
held.

few papers this year and to devote
more time to discus- ion of subjects.
The meeting will be held at Talu
lah Falls on July 2,3 and 4. On the

JUDGE PARKER
REVERSED CIJTf
HE YESTERDAY SANCTIONED A
CERTIORARI IN T. L.
LAMB CASE.
VERY STRONG PAPER F!LED
The Action of the Court Means That
the Police Officer Will Finally
Win Out in the
Premises.
The case of T. Luther Lamb, who
was a member of the police force, was
recently tried before the mayor and
alde,rmen of Brunswick, sitting
as a court impeachment, on charges
preferred against him for violation of
the police rules, and in which he
was convicted and dismissed from
the force, has been certiorari ed to the
superior court and the petition for
certiorari was sanctioned by Judge
Parker yesterday and the same will
be determined te the Decern he' term
The points taken in the certiorari
are in substance, error in overrul
ing Lamb’s demurrer to the charges
for insufficiency; error in overruling
his plea In abatement, the ground in
the plea of abatement being that he
was suspended on another charge, and
was not exercising the duties of a
policeman when these charges were
preferred; error in refusing to strike
the testimony of Clinton Brown, who
testified that the defendant used pro
fane and vulgar language and cursed
without- saving what words were used;
error in the judgment because without
evidence to sustain it and contrary to
law.
There are also other minor errors
alleged.
This case is not* unfamiliar to gen-
I oral mUiUd ail ! grt.’.asi of
TOffbot Judge ParL f yesterday cer
tainly gives Mr. Lamb the best end of
it. It sustains the position taken
by the Lamb attorneys and at the
next session of the court Judge Parker
will hear the case on its merits.
If the contentious sustained by
Judge Parker are held good at the
final trial it is more than certain
that Mr. Lamb will win out.
GATHER
MALE MEMBERS OF ST. MARK'S
CHURCH TO FORM AN
ORGANIZATION.
Avery interesting meeting of tho
male members of the congregaH't: cf
St Mark’s chlrch was held at the par
ish house last night and was quite
largely attended.
Church work generally was discuss
ed and some very interesting remarks
were made by Dr. Rede and others
present. It seems that the men of the
church have decided to do more ac
tive work in the future than has been
the case in the past, and to that end
an organization is to be formed for
general purposes.
At the meeting last night, a com
mittee consisting cf Messrs. W. F.
Symons, A. V. Wood and J. C. Egleston
was appointed to prepare a set of
by laws and to suggest a, name for
the association.
Another meeting of the members
will occur Monday evening, June* 7.

A Supposed to Be Brunswick Man

The Savannah Press of yesterday
contains the announcement of the ac
cidental killing of one W. L. Johnson,
in the Vale Royal mils of that city.
After an extensive report of the awful
accident, by which the unfortunate
man lost his life, the story concludes
with the statement ,the remains would
be sent to this city today for inter

A News representative endeavored
to learn something of tl’6 dead man,
but no one seen had any knowledge of
such a person over having resided
here.

EX-SECRETARY HOKE SMITH OF
ATLANTA, IN BRUNSWICK
YESTERDAY.
Hon. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, sec
retary of the interior in the cabinet
of President Cleveland, was in the
city for a short time yesterday morn
ing.
The secretary and the members of
his family arrived on the early morn
ing Southern trakyand lint at $
o’clock for CunfffSfand, where he
goes for a rest of a week or ten days.

smiled blandly and said:
“We will have to wait and see —and
we will have to get together.”
Mr. Smith is one of the most pro

such an able oponent.

Tlie following from yesterday’s Con

“Secretary Walter G. Cooper, of tho
chamber of commerce, and also of the

apt expression, in work on the coming

industries, climate, soil, educational
facilities and institutions o \ every
character, and, in fact, setting forth
all 'of the great advantages which
Georgia possesses. There is much
preparation of this article, and Mr.
Cooper is arranging to secure infor
mation on each special feature direct
from headquarters.
The edition of 100,0110 of these pa
pers, practically magizines, will go
all over tho country without any ex
pense whatever to '’the association.
The association will, however, pur
chase 10,000 copies of the number for
special distribution and to lie used
in answering inquiries, at an expense
of about S7OO.
“Mr. Cooper has secured a large
number of excellent photographs to
used in this edition from parts of the
stale, and the indications arc a splen
did showing will be made.
“The Greater Georgia association,
headed by President J. K. Orr, will
go to Cedartown on Wednesday, May
27, where a meeting will be held.
Cedartown is very much interested
in the movement and will no doubt
do handsomely. On the return trip
arrangements will probably be made
to stop and hold a brief meeting at
Cartersville.”
