The young daughters of,Mr. Cole were shocked 7>y the stroke—of lightning. It Is reported that the little daughter, 9 years of age. Is in a serious condi tion as the result of the shock. Mr, Cole was in the act of lowering a window’ when the flash came killing him and his son Instantly. terlng step Ivovlny hands served Ice water to the old men as thej^passed along the route, fans wer^ disturbed and everything possible was done to re lieve the long tramp of Its tedium. That the heroes were in excellent spirits was shown by the fact that many of them sang old camp songs as they marched, such as “Butter milk Cavalry," “Old Time Confeder ates," "Bonnie Blue Flag.” They were happy and they, left a trail of tears among the spectators, for every one was touched by the sentimental appeal made by the ap pearance of the old soldiers. There were many in the parade who had left a leg. or perhaps !>oth legs, on some battlefield, but (hey enjoyed the occasion as much as the others, being Carried In vehicles. Their ap pearance drew forth, if anything; greater applause than the sight of the foot soldiers. The parade formed shortly after 1 U o’clock and required one hour and 45 minutes to pass a given point. The route was from Sixth avenue on Nineteenth street to First avenue, to Twenty-first street, to Fifth avenue, to Twentieth street, to First avenue, countermarching on Twentieth street to Capitol park, where the reviewing stand was located. In the vanguard were eight companies of the local National Guard, Including one bat tery of artillery and one troop of cavalry. Chattanooga had one troop of “Cavalry In line. Gov. B. B. Com er of Alabama with hts entire staff was neft‘ in line. Gen. G. P. Har rison, commander of the Alabama divisipd. was chief marshal, and Col. K. J. McCrossin of Birmingham was chief aide. Feature of Parade, The veterans of the department of the'Tennessee headed the line of vis itors of honor, these being followed by the Trans-Mississippi and the Army of Northern Virginia. Among the more conspicuous companies were the Forrest cavalry corps, mounted, and the mounted troop from Nash ville which has attracted a great deal of attention during the reunion.Thes® companies are regular members of the National Guard, being the only Confederate body to ha*e that distinc tion. Memphis representatives also came in for great applause. They were ac companied by the Crack fife and drum corps, which helped to give the martial atmosphere. Probably jio one person In the parade attracted more attention than the handsome Mias Tommy Gentry, a fnlJMooded Indian maiden who accompanied the Indian Territory department as spon sor. Her escort, was Adjt. Gen. Cole- mau. Gen. Clement A. Evans, the new commander-in-chief, wasat the head of the column with the entire staff. The Sons of Veterans followed the veterans and tbey were accompanied ;47y their sponsors. A noticeable fea ture of the parade was the fact that n number of the sponsors preferred to walk with the companies they rep resented rather than ride in the car* riages * which had been provided Miss Mary Hall Gray, accompanied the Georgia division on foot. -Airs KTHTy of New Orleans, a lady of 79 vears old. went through the march on foot as did Miss Edna Raub of Mem phis, who had the title of daughter of the company she represented. AN OLD COUPLE ELOPES. HANGED HIMSELF IN SKIRTS. y 4(jd Suicide Regaled Himself in J Woman’s Attire. Dangling from a clothesline in his home in Springfield, Mass., Joseph P. Johnson was found a suicide. Be cause of his habitual refusal to ans wer knocks at his door no suspicion was aroused when he did oot respond and his- t»ody was not fonod until tjie door forced open.

In face, figure, manner and even voice, Mr. Rush resemblesa forger, badly wanted by the police of a score of cities, who has been traveling oyer the country for sev eral years, leaving a trail of worth less paper and duped victims. Up wards of 100 persons have declared on oath that they knew him, and clamored for his conviction. His re latives and lawyers have grown sus picious In the face of the Memend- ous pile of clrcumstpnt;.•! evidence that has piled up ac-mst him. Evangelists have prayed over him in prison, and then tn^ned away in Au gust, pronounced him a hardened sinner because he refused to confess to crimes of whiclw-be knew nothing. 1 Yet In the end Rush has been ac quitted by an alibi so certain that his prosecutors have been made to look jtdiculous. It is nearly a year since Mr. Rush went West to find his remarkable crime record awaiting him. It was In Cincinnati that he was arrested last September, and when he was taken to Jail the police told him, to his astonishment, that he was John F. Blair, alias John L. Baldwin, alias Boyd G. Clark, alias F. N. Rush, alias S. S. Pickney. and that he was wanted for forgery in Chicago and several other cities. He was actually taken to Chicago, where his troubles began. Cast in ail. he was speedily overwhelmed with such a mass of identifications, crimes and evidence that his bal was set at a prohibitive figure, and he languished five month in his cell while the prosecution was building up a case aganst him. When the trial finally arrived Rush was posi tively identified as the slick forger by a score of persons who had been duped. The array of witnesses pro duced against him proved so c,>n vlncing to the jury that he was actua’ ly found guilty. But a doubt had been raised in the judge's mind, and he was let off with a morith’s im prisonment and a fine of $500. Hut he was no sooner released than he was re-arrested on warrents from otlfer cities and was cast into jail again. He was confined in a dungeon.for three days with the rats u ,*iug over him and without a bite t, and wa/ tW.i ptrt tlw-ubV 1,.. - it rd deg..e." by burly ool1«.» it'cci'S who sougnt to make him t r >ss <> resort Ip w t> violence.

Rush set altout to establsh an alibi, hi rebuttal of the five days evidence FUhmitte.d by the district atfornev supplemented by a four hour speech from that official. Rush presented his simple alibi to the Jury, and waa ac quitted in 11 minutes. Later he showed to the entire satisfaction of the Chicago authoMties that he was victim of the most remarkable case of mistaken identity on record in that city. But he is living In constant fear of arrest In other cities which he visits in his business of traveling re- «<resentat»ve ot a prominent New York drug firm. The “Great White Plague” seems likely to lose some of its greatne&a as the result of the national ctfAren- tion of the American Anti-Tubereq-, losis League which closed W StTKnla recently. The principal demand of the convention was for legislation against defective .cows, it being as serted that about 99 per cent of the consumptives in the United States contract their tuberculosis in raw milk. Opposing factions, one advocating the isolation plan for the treatment of consumptives and the other defend ing the present policy of treating the disease in cities, were in combat at the closing session. The controversy assumed the form of a debate^Or. Walter G. Tyzzer, superintendent-of the ^layfield Sanitarium, of St. Louts, representing the isolation advocates, and Dr. Joseph E. Chambers, presi dent of the Hippocratean College of Medicine, of St. Louis,' representing the other faction.
