f GRAY AND BENT i I But Gallant and Valiant Still in Heart , and Spirit ' GRAND OLD VETERANS GATHER. J Loytl and IjotIiik They Meet to'ltenew Old Friendships and to |>o Honor to Their Departed Brothers. The old Confederate veteraus had a big time iu Nashville, Tenn., last week. The veterans and their friends constituted a host of thirty thousand people. The tlrst meeting was held on Tuesday, 14th instant in the tabernacle and every bit of space was taken long before the veterans were oalled to order by Gen. W. Gordon of Memphis, commander of the Tennessee division. It was the tirst conven lion In the history of the organization that the Sons of Veterans sat with their fathers, and the cheers from the throats of the younger generation at almost every expression by those who took part in the strife 40 years ago made it plain that the spirit of '01 would be perpetuated in generations to come. California was represented on the Moor; from far off Montana a delega tlon was sent, and Ohio was on hand with four delegates. It was the fourteenth annnal meeting and the tirst at which the distinguished John it. Gordon did not preside. A few steps to the rear of Gen. Stephen I). Lee, who occupied the chair, sat Gen. Gordon's widow and two daughters, Mrs. Hurton Smith of Atlanta and Mrs. Orton Hishop lirown of Maine. To the right and to the left of them were seated many of the chief figures of the Confederacy and a charming array of beautifully gowned division and department sponsors. There was a noticeable curtailment of the sponsor feature of tlie reunion and it w:is announced from the stage early that only the sponsors accredited to departments and divisions would be given seats on the stage. On the stage were: Gen. Stephen 1). Lee, the acting commander in chief; Gen. Win. I). Jones, of Richmond; Gen. C. 11. Tebault, New Orleans, chief surgeon C. S. A., and Miss Corrine Tebault, spomor-in-chief; Gen. W. K. Mlckle of New Orleans, adjutant general; Gen. W. S. Cabell, commanding the trans-Mississippi; f ?PT1 A -I W net Af A v. ? u.iu ui nuiauia, manding the North Georgia br'gade; Gen. 0. Irvine Walker, commanding the department of Virginia, and Gen. Clement A. Evans, Atlanta, who suecceeded Gen. Stephen I). Lee as commander of the department of Tennessee. The convention hall was well filled by 11 o'clock. The long wait of an hour and a half l>efore the gathering was called to order was enlivened by the appearance of the Kentucky delegating and their band and later by ? the arrival of the only surviving drum corps of the Confederate hosts, a band of three or four men from North Carolina. As they marched.down the long aisle to the tune of "Dixie," escorting the North Carolina camp, the enthusiasm of the ili veterans was un bounded. A few moments later the Seventh United States cavalry hand, stationed at Chaitancoga, came into the hall playing a spirited march. They marched down to the stage and were escorted up to the gallery, where they took a position in the extreme end over the platform, their uniforms forming the only variation to the predominating gray of those assembled. WBLCOMKD BY GOV. KHA'/IKH. After Gen. Gordon had called the veterans to order Chaplain Jones delivered the invocation. Gov. J. It. Frazler welcomed the delegates to Tennessee in a splendid address. Twice he started to his seat only to be recalled and urged in behalf of the vetr erans. n Among other things Gov. Frazler B said: "When that grand man, tiiat patriot, that noble Christian, Gen. Itobt. B K. Lee, surrendered at Appomattox :B; lie spoke with a heart too full for decelt, in that no BQUthem mother swore . her.son to bitterness. She swore him to love and honor. All accepted tire Bk inequitable finality. When you saw ||B furled for the last time the Stars and Bars you had followed for four years B- when you had made your last final B march back to your homes, had a final Hfj- farewell to your comrades and found psf' the sainted mother's grave sleeping i||| in the family cemetery, tlie beautiful home in ruin and ashes, when you ft.'1'. pressed upon your wife's lip a loving Bk kis<. you sealed a solemn pledge that g|f^. from that day on you would know but ^B one covin try and but one flag. ||K 11 You came back to take up your old llpi work, to build a new civilization, to ||B redeem a land that had almost malll|gg? ciously been given to the iregro.

Williams, mayor of M||K Nashville, had extended the city's B welcome, Qen. Gordon brought forward Gen. Stephen D. Lee as the per- 1 rnanent presiding oftlcer and comman* 1 der-in-chief. Gen. Lej's appearance ' was the signal for a remarkable outburst of enthusiasm. Cheer after cheer greeted him. Hats, canes, , handkerchiefs and coats went into the , air In all parts of the auditorium and { the gallery added its vociferous voice ( to the demonstration. The band , took up the spirit of the occasion and < Gen. Lee was kept bowing from side , to side for several minutes. , Hon- Thomas M. Owen of Montgom- , cry, Ala , commander of the Alabama , division, Sons of Veterans, spoke In | response to the welcoming for the Sons, lie was heartily applauded. ( Gen. Lee then introduced Dr. Rin i dolph 11. McKim of Washington, D. \ O.v as the orator for the -occasion. ( Dr. MoKim was in excellent voice and his oration was a notable effort. A1-' though the veterans had listened to j two hours and more of oratory in a i temperature approximately 00, they ' gays Prl McK4in their undivided at- 1 ' tentlon and frequently interrupted ! brother veterans.'r Gen. Fitzhugh Lee wired his regrets from Richmond thus: "Love to the old hoys. 1 am very sorry that 1 cannot be present to meet and greet them." The report of Adj. Gen. Mickle which was adopted, shows that since the last reunion charters have been issued to 40 new camps, making the total 1,603. The Women's Monument association was instructed by the veterans to turn over all funds to the Sons of Veterans, who will complete the work of erect ing a monument to the women of the south. The most interesting part of the committee on resolutions report is as follows: First, that the resolution requesting congress to take appropriate action looking to the care and preservation of the graves of the Confederate dead now in the various cemeteries in the northern States be adopted. "Second, the committee reports to the association that more than one appliciation lias been made to this association to tlx a permanent place for our annual reunions, but your committee is of the opinion that for the present it would be wise, for many reasons, to hold our annual leunions as heretofore at such time and places as the association shall tlx from year to year. Adopted. "Resolved, That all Confederate veterans regularly enrolled in tills association and none other shall he ell glble to election or appointment in this association." Adopted. TltlDUTK TO (iOKIX)N. At the noon hour the regular business of the convention was set aside for the memorial services at which Judge Thomas G. Jones of Montgomery was the orator. All the departed heroes of the Confederacy were referred to by several speakers, but Gen. John P. Gordon, the last great tigure to pass over into the invisible beyond, was made the occasion of special tribute. The Association of Medical otllcers of the Army and Navy of the Confederacy Wednesday elected theseoitlcers: President, I)r. John S. Cain of Nashville. First vice president, Dr. J. I). Plunkctt of Nashville. Second vice president. Dr. I). II. Key of Monroe, La. Third vice president, Dr. Win, Martin of Kingston, Ky. Fourth vice president, Dr. Peter It. Pacot of Florence, S. C. The survivors of the Confederate navy chose Capt. II. P. Little Page of Washington, 1>. C., as commander in succession to Commander Dabney II. Scales of Memphis and elected Capt. W. F. Clayton of Florence, S. C., secretary. The Southern Confederate Memorial association met, heard numerous welcoming addresses and responses and adjourned until Thursday. TIIK OKKICKK8 ELECTED. The veterans elected the following ofllcers; Commander-in-chief, Lieut. Gen. Stephen I). Lee, of Columbus, Miss. Commander of the department of northern Virginia, Gen. C. Irvine Walker, of Greenville, S. C. Commander of the dfpartn ent. of Tennessee, Gen. Clement A. 10vans of At,l:mt,a ria Commander of the trans-Mississippi department, (Jen. W. L. Cabell of Dal his, Texas. Gen. Clement A. Evans of Georgia read the report of the historical committee, which said the South was now at-sured of fair treatment in history and that the youth of the country would not grow up under a false impression. The report was adopted. A resolution favoring the erection at Richmond, V'a., of a home for needy Confederate women was adopted. A sweet voiced young woman of Norfolk, V'a., Miss Mary E. Ewell, maid of honor for the south, by her singing of "My Old Kentucky Home" Wednesday won for Louisville the reunion next year of the United Confederate Veterans. It was after the old veterans had Chosen Lieut. Stephen I). Lee as their commander in chief and had listened to a stirring speech by Col. Dennett II. Young of Kentucky, extolling the beauties, capabilities and hospitally of his home city and people and their desire to entertain the followers of the Stars and liars, that Miss Ewell was escorted to the front of the stage. Her voice thrilled the great crowd that tilled the tabernacle and the last note of tlie song had barely left her lips when the convention went wild with shouts of "Louisville," "Louisville." Seconding speeches were unnecessary, although Gen. Lee graci ously permitted one from a Virginia delegate and another from Kentucky before recording the choice of the veterans as unanimous. The date will be determined later. It W*h Brutal Murder. The State says Nathan Truesdale, uncle of the negro killed at Oloud's creek on Saturday week, swore out a warrant before Magistrate Little at Saluda on Wednesday for Sion Miller, Joe Miller and Kussel McCormick. Thursday the Millers and McCormick surrendered themselves to the sheriff and are now In Jail. The Miller boys are 22 and 23 years old, respectively, and McCormick looks to be the younger of the three. It was stated that McCormick did the shooting but the report cannot be confirmed. The home of the Miller boys is not far from where the homicide occurred, while McCormick hails from Lexington county. He joined the Miller boys at Batesburg and was going on a visit to his brother, whose home is in this county. It Is not known whether application will be made for ball or not. The older of the Miller boys Is married. Opportunity for a Young Man. The South Carolina College (ffers scholarships in the Normal Department .to two young men from each bounty.

[continued from pane 1 ] water. By this time the shrieking whistle of the Sloeum had attracted the attention of river craft for a considerable distance around and tugs and other small boats were rushing to the assistance of the burning steamer. These small boats rescued all those in the water whom they could reach, but many persons struggled and sank before any help could reach them. In the wake of the Slocum as she hurried up stream was a line of little black spots, marking the heads and bodies of those who had sought to escape the roaring furnace on the ship by throwing themselves overboard. Few of those saved by the small boats had on life preservers. At no time during the progress of the tire was there opportunity to either lower life boats or get the life preservers out from under the seats. This perhaps gives an Idea of the rapidity with which the flames swept the decks. It was an experience harrowing and terrible and that any escaped alive seems wonderful. HKMAINKD AT TI1K1K I'OBT. Through all the wild panic, during all that Inferno, with lire and smoke surrounding them theoillcersand men of the doomed boat remained at their posts, but they were powerless to avert tire catastrophe. The Slocum got within 50 feet of the northwest point of North Brother island and there slopped In the shallow water. It was just before she beached that the hurricane deck, the supports ,of which had burned away, fell with Its loads of women and children, adding to the paidc and horror of those on the deck below. Very soon after parts of the second and third decks also caved in. But l>efore this happened the tug Walter Tracey had come alongside the burning steamer and been lashed to it. Many of the passengers were taken olT by the crew of the Traccy, which remained alongside the steamer until the tug's pilot house took lire. The point where the Slocum beached was just olT the scarlet fever ward on North brother island. The patients who had been out on the porches and lawns watching the approach of .the burning steamers were indoors and the physicians on the island hastened to the assistance of those who were being brought ashore through the shallow water. Many of those who leaped from the Slocum were carried away by the current, even after she was beached, and were drowned. A lMTIHl'L 8CKNK. The scene on North brother island as described by the rescurers was a pitiful one. body after body was washed ashore or brought in by boats and added to the long row on the beach. Fifty-three persons died there while the doctors were attending them. As the bodies of the living anil the dead were taken out of the water, those alive were taken to the hospitals on the island or sent across the nvur iajuospitais in raannaixati. Here ambulance? from almost all the hospitals In Greater New York and every other sort of conveyance which could he found were put into service. The hod lea of the burned and drowned drifted ashore on the island between KMst and 1118th streets In Manhattan. Some came ashore still alive. Many of these died while others will recover. The scenes on the beach of North Brother island were pitiable in the extreme. as the living and the dead were brought in. The row of bodies stretched along the beach and hysterical women and frantic men went along looking at one after another searching for children and friends. Women with disfigured faces, their clothes partially stripped from them, were carried to the improvised emer geney hospital, crying for children who had been torn from them in the mad rush when the boat took tire. Meanwhile the Slocum burned to the water's edge. At 12 25 o'clock, two hours and 2."> minutes after the tire was tirst discovered, she sank. It is estimated that there were then nearly 100 charred bodies on her decks. Just after the steamer sank the water nearby was black with bodies. The tug Fidelity succeeded in picking up 88 charred corpses in Hunts Cove olT Bakers island and carried them into the sound. None of these bodies, it is thought, can ever be Identiticd. DOES NOT KNOW CAUSE. Charles F. Ilill, a diretor of the Knickerbocker Steamboat company, visited the Lebanon hospital late Wednesday to see Capt. Van Schaick, the commander of the Gen. Slocum, who had been taken there earlier in the day under arrest. After a talk with him Mr. Hill said that the captain did not know the cause of the tire. "The cause of the fire is not known," said he. "I say that, because no Investigation has begun. The government will undoubtedly begin an investigation. The captain is under arrest and it would be inadvisable for him to make any statement at pres ent, but he told me that he and Ihe first and second pilots, Kdward Van Wart and K. M, Weaver, were In the pilot house until the Slocum was beached. Then they jumped directly from the pilot house Into the water. The captain hurt his leg and may require an operation. The two pilots were practically uninjured and assisted in savin# life. They were all in the wheel house until the last." "Was the boat under steam all the timci"' Mr. Hill was asked. "It has been said that the pilot house was deserted, and the boat drifted with the tide until she ran aground. "The steam was on until the boat struck. The engineer, Frank Conlin, told me thatr he was in the engine room until the boat struck. The current was on the flood, and could not have carried the boat earlier, for there is no shallow water nearer than North Brother island. If the boat had been run alongside the piers or pushed on the rocks on the mainland she might have sunk, as the water is deep along there and more lives would have been lost. The captain said that the first he knew of the tire was when he was told of it through tube by some one below. The Slocum w^yi^n off the sunken meadow. to the nearest be beached." ing the fire he there the MHI^^HHHB^HHSBrhere back by police lines formed about the city morgue at the foot of east 2Uth street. The crowd lav an to gather as soon as It became rumored about the city that the dead would be brought to Mauhattau from North Brother Island and other places. When Anally the morgue authorities allowed the crowd to enter the morgue a scene ensued which was harrowing In the extreme. In some cases tirst Identifications were found to be erroneous, men laying claim to bodies they afterwards discovered were not those of their relatives. At the entrance to the Charities pier at the foot of east 2t?th street the crowd Weduesday night tried to push past the police and a riot resulted. At the height of the trouble a man who had learned that his wife was among the charred dead tried to stab himself. Inside the pier the bodies are ranged In three rows, the entire length of the pier, about lf>o feet. ST. MAKK'8 ClIUllCII. St. Mark's Lutherain church con taln?d in its membership practically all those Germans of the i'rotustint faith within a radius of ten square bl cks. The excursion was the event of the year for scores of well-to-do German faml'i s and hud been looked forward to for many months Kaip'ly parties of ten or more had been made up, including in many ca es the o d grandmothers, the mothers and the chid re 11 of all ages with a sprinkling of tho e men of the families who could spare a day from their v\ork. A bureau of information was op nied in the church shortly after the tir.it news of the oatasirophe was received, and ever since there has been a stream of agonized men, women and children climbing the steps to ask for news of their rnla'tives or friends. As soon as news is received, as to survivors or victims, it is posted outside and the information so >n spread thoughout the neighborhood. Rev. J. (?. Schultz, the assistant pastor of the church, called at the temporary morgue and ido nt i tied the body of Mis. Anna Haas, the wife of the pastor of the church. The coroner gave permi-sion for the body to be romoved to the residence of I)r. Haas. I)r. Haas is among the rcscu red.

With great effort he kept afloat and was about to give up when a man on one of the tugs picked him up. of the scores he saw about him when lie rose, one by one sank. Assistant District Attorney Garvin was at the scene of the wreck for some hours. He said that lie would subpoena the entire crew and as many of the survivors as possible and would make every effort to lix the responsibility for the catastrophe. Si far as known only one of the crew of the Gen. Slocum lost his life. This was Michael McGrath, steward of the steamer, whose body has been recovered. When he jumped overboard he had with him, according to Capt. Van Schalck, $300 or $400 dollars. The money could not lie found when his money clothing was searched. WOKK OF Til 1C (,'KKW. Regarding the work of the crew during the disaster, John Iloltliusen, sexton of St. Mark's said: "The crew appeared to be undisciplined and unfamiliar with working of the life rafts and life boats. I was standing besides the pastor nearly all the time. He did everything in his power to save people. 1 placed my two daughters, Nina, aged 12, and Clara, aged 10, no top of the paddle l>ox and kept them there until a tug boat by the name of Sumner picked all of us up. The members of the crew of the burned steamer who are under arrest are being held simply as witnesses. They are Capt. W. II. Van Schalck, Pilot Edward Van Wart, Second Pilot Elward N. Weaver, W. W. Tremby, a deck hand, Henry Cantleld, a cook, Edwin Robinson, a cook, and James Woods, a cook. All of these men had been overboard and were suffering from exposure and in some cases from burns. Coroner Herr> had them all sent to Lebanon hospital with the exception of Pilot Van Wart, who was paroled. For a Hundred Years. For a hundred years or more Witch Hazel has been recognized as a superior remedy, but it remained for E. C. PeWitt & Co., of Chicago, to discover how to combine the virtues of Witch Hazel with other intiseptics, in the form of a salve. PcWitt's Witch Hazel Salve Is the best salve In the world for sores, cuts, burns, bruises and piles.

At New York in a panic among the passengers in a Brooklyn car on tire Fulton street line Friday nine persons received severe injuries, most of them requiring attention of physicians. The panic was caused by the blowing out of a fuse while the car was running at a high rate of speed. The front platform aud forward part of the car were at once enveloped in 11 imes, and the passengers made frantic efforts to escape. Many jumped, others were pushed off tire car and others fell and were trampled on before the the car could be stopped. Nearly every passenger suffered some injury. Mrs. Julia Caiman, 21 years old, with a six months old baby in her arms, was pushed from the car and received a fractured skull, a broken ankle and severe concussions of the l?ody. The baby was unhurt and was found asleep in the mother's arms, by an ambulance physician. Mlie Fooled Him. When the train came down from AuliftviMo fro Snn rt anhnrcr on WcrfnoB. day, among the passengers who alight- J ed was an old negro, named Jim Watson, who carried In his arms a seven months old negio boy. The man began Inquiring alxml for a mother for his charge, whom he said was to meet the train and relieve him of carrying the baby. He did not or could not recall the name of the mother; and told the police and others a garbalcd kind of statement something to the eflfcot that a negro woman In Charlotte, learning that he was coming to Spartanburg made arrangements with him to bring the child, the child she said was that of her daughter who | lived at Spartanburg and who would be at the depot to meet the baby. , He said he was on his way to Laurens, and was very anxious to dispose of the hnman burden. The police would not allow this and he was made to < carry the Infant along with him to Laurens. | It Is estimated that by Jane 15 the number of men employed by American rallR>ada will be 60,000 less than at the same time cne year ago.
