The Society of the Army of the Potomac had rainy morning for the opening of their an- nual reunion in Portland Thursday. Secretary of War Proctor was elected president of the first corps. The veterans met inthe City Hall about 2 o'clock. In the galleries were many ladies, while the body of the hail was occupied by the members of the society. In different parts of the hall were seen corps flags denot- ing the location of the various corps. Among the prominent officers who occupied the seats on fhe floor and the stage were Gen. Sherman, Gen. F.;A. Walker, Hon. Horatio King, Gen, Fitz-John Porter, Gen. Selden Connor, Gen. Colits, Col. Horace C. King, Gen. Hodge Dickinson, Gens. Locke, Clarkson, Beale, Van Vliet, Goddard, John W. Corse, Brodhead, Devens and Howard, also officers of the war Vessels in the harbor. At 2:15 p.m. Gen, J. M. Brown escorted Gen. Wm. T. Sherman to the stage and three cheers were given for him, Three cheers were also given for Gen. Howard. The meeting was called to order by Gen, Colis, who presided in place of Gen. Parke. After | Prayer by Rev. Norman Fox of New York and musie Gen, Walker was introduced and deliv- ered the oration, Ex-Postmaster General Ho- ratio King read a poem. While the baud was playing Hon. Hannibal Hamlin carae on the platform and. the whole society rose and gave him three cheers. Mr. Hamlin held quite a reception on the stage, shaking hands with many, while all gathered around to greet him. ‘Lhe chairman then in- troduced Mayor Melcher of Portiand, who we: comed the comrades in an admirable addre: which was responded to by Gen. Collis, The mention of the names of Gen. Sherman and Hannibal Hamlin by the latter speaker evoked the wildest enthusiasin. GEN. SHERMAN’S SPEECH. After the oration by Gen. Walker was finished the chairman introduced Gen, Sherman, who received a prolonged ovation and spoke for several minutes, as follows: “Comrades of the Army of the Potomac and Ladies and Gentlemen of Portland: It is not the food we eat that gives health and strength, but that which we digest. It is so with t mind. It is not the books we read, or re pers either, or even the specches we hear, that enlarge our understanding, but those we com- rehend and digest Now, my friends, I have ad a good deal of experience in my life and I have learned since I have been upon this stage that the grand review in Washington terminated when the Army of the Potomac passed. It reminds me of a story Gen. Taylor is said to have told an applicant for office in Wash- ington who urged his claims from having been at Buena Vista. Gen. Taylor said he had heard of so many things having occurred there that, although he had thought that he was there himself he bad come to the conclusion that he was not there at all. Now I have so many fresh memories of that grand review thatI think I was there, and I think that review occupied three days. ‘he first day the Army of the Po- tomac had the floor, and I was upon the stage at the time. asl am now, taking notes of tho positions, that I might profit by them. For, if ouremember, the armies of the west did not ave @ fair reputation for order. drill and dis cipline. You got your news of us through rebel sources, [great applause} and we chased them for 1,300 miles mto your very camps. They had not a very good opinion ot our west- ern armies, and we found that even the author- ities at Washington had nota very good opin- ion of our western armics. They thought we were rather liable to disorder. Now, I assure you, my friends of the Army of the Potomac, We were a better drilled army than you were. I know it because I was their com- manding general. [Laughtorand applause. ] Now let me give you a little bit of private history which “I have not given to any except my most intimate friends. I was on that stand before Meade was, avd. indeed, before President Johnson and the cabinet had gotten there. Meade came with his staff, as you have heard described, and as he wheeled into the gate of the White House ground up camo Custer, and some lady flung him a wreath—one of those ¢ircular wreaths—and in trying to get it his mare made off with him and he went by like a shot, and Custer was uot reviewed at all, and his brigade of cavalry would not have passed muster on the Champ de Mars in Paris, Tho horses were good, the men were sublime, but not good looking for review. Now four corps passed in succession, and the intervals between em were too large. I kept my eye upon them and watched them all the time, and the worst mistake the Army of the Potomac mado was that you had two bands loaned youby stay- at-homes in Washington, hey were those elegant bands designed to play music of the highest order and the latest operas. You couid not understand them, and I don’t blame you for it. You do not keep step. Now, the first duty of a soldier is to keep step and dress mghtand keep his eyes to the front, Now, good many of them turned their eyes and heads around like country gawks, looking at the big people on the stand. ‘Those are little things You know there are tricks my young friends, tricks in Pe Tturned to Meads ‘Lam ‘raid my poor voluntecr corps will make a poor appearance contrasted with your well-fed meu. ‘Well, Sberman, the people in Washington are now so well disposed toward the army that they will make ail allowances. You need not afraid.” Well, that evening I got word from bauds I could have them. I think I will stick to my old bands, and I sent word that night to all my corps commanders to be cureful about inter according to tactics, and keep your dress to lett towards the | reviewing stand,and don’t let your men be | | looking around over shoulders. We will give them plenty of time to see the capitol aud everything after the review is over. Let them keep their eyes fifteen paces to front, shoul- ders square and march in the old accustomed way.’ They did so. Well, after the review was over I contend that your review was over, but mine was not. The two constitute a thing of magnificent proportions credi- table to both. As to the patriot- ism within their heart, as to the principles which moved these grent masses | of men to a common purpose, we need not speak, because history has treated of it for | twenty-five years, upon the simple ques- t.on of instructio { discipline we take ' dessons to the very last day of our lives, Now, Gen. Waiker, for whom | have great affection | 84 well a» profound respect, did not give an account of the cost in human life in furnishing that bold cavalry nor the great corps that tur- nished the war with muscle and brain.

Bennett, his confidential clerk and book keeper, had forged cheeks in his name to the amount of $6,000. In May, Hammond said, Bonnett pleaded sick- ness and asked for a vacation, which was granted. A few days later tho Pacific Bank notified Hammond that his account was over- drawn and Hammond then ascertained that his clerk wasa forger. Before Bennett fled he had collected $1,000 from a contractor named Muldoon, deposited the money in hisown name in the New York County Bank in &th avenue and drawn out @5,000. Detectives O'Brien and McCauley learned that Bennett had left town with Hattie Stadt- feld, who was in the cast of ‘The Mikado” at Doris’ Museum, They traced the pair to St. Louis and New Orleans and finally to Denver, where Bennett was arrested on Thursday. Bennett spent the stolen money on the ope singer and left his wi and two children in straitened circumstances. CHINAMEN HONOR THE DAY. ATerrific Explosion That Shakes Tren- ton to its Center. The features of the Fourth of July celebra- tion in Trenton, N. were the letting off at one time of 10,000 firecrackers by two Chinese laundrymen opposite the Masonic Temple, and a wedding at the interstate fair grounds, in the presence of 9,000 people, who had paid fifty cents admission to see a balloon ascension, horse racing and other interesting attractions, The crackers were exploded in the middle of the street and no such . racket has been heard in Trenton since George Washington entered the town and surprised a lot of Hessians in the very same locality, The Chinamen had deftly mixed up cannon crackers with the smaller ones and at regular intervals they exploded, making the din, which lasted a full hour, per- fectly deafening. It was thought that a toy store known to be fullof fireworks was on fire as jounded. ‘Three horses ran away, several women fainted and four police- men were required to keep the crowds of peo- ple back. The bride at the public weading was Mrs. Anna M. Harris and the groom Charles G, Duffield. ‘Squire Thomas Abbott performed the ceremony. ep Arey AMERICA’S GREATNESS.

The family of Gon, Sewell in Cape May received a call from the party and the ride was continued from that point.

They Will Probably Put Up a Candidate For Governor in South Carolina, A Columbia, 8.C., special to the Philadelphia Press saya: The present indications are that for the first time in ten years a republican state ticket will be in the field in South Caro- lina ina short time. It is stated that Col. Ellery A. Brayton, chairman of the state re- Publican executive committee, will soon an- nounce himself asa candidate for governor. It was reported that Brayton would ran for Con- gressfrom the seventh district, but for the past month ho has been watching the campaign in the state between the two wings of the dem- ocratic party with intense interest and he has probably decided that this is the proper time to make a dash for the state government. It is very certain that if either the Tillman party or its opponents, the straight-out democrats, are successful in getting the nomination they’ will not be supported at the polls by hundreds, Again, Capt. Tillman is endorsed by the ‘colored alli- ances and almost all of the white independent greenbackers, and recently converted. demo- craty from the republican ranks are rallying to his standard, and while they may assist in splitting the democrats it is very probable that later on, if the republicans have a ticket in the field, they will give that party their votes, The outlook is more promising for the republicans than it has been for many years, eee is FOUR PEOPLE DROWNED.

The entire party were on the boat when suddenly one end of the flat gave way from overweight, In an instant the two families were floundering in the water and the frail craft sank out of sight. Both men could easily have gotten to sbore, but they turned their efforts to their loved ones, whom they prized more highly than life itself, Mrs. ‘Thompson clung pluckily to her little babe and with the aid of her husband reached shore alive. Then Thompson turned back to save his little daughter. He caught her in his lov- ing arms, faced shore again and bravely struggled toward a place of safety. But he was exhausted and the heroic father sank with hi danghier clinging to his neck, Meanw! Richard Smith had saved his wife and had tried to rescue his daughter, but they, too, were exhausted and both perished before the eyes of the affrighted wife and mother.

British Vessels Armed to Resist the American Cruisers in Behring Sea. ‘Victoria (B.C.) Special to Philadelphia Press. July 4 The news telephoned Thursday from Port Townsend that Col. Matthews, a special mes- senger, had arrived from Washington with urgent instructions for the commanders of the United States cruisers Rush and Corwin to proceed immediately to Behring Sea and seize all vessels found with sealskins on board or with any evidence that they had been engaged in the seal fishery causes great indignation and excitement here, At the same time comes the story that the British Pacific squadron has beon ordered to immediately rendezvous at | Esquimault where the Ampior is already. This | latter story brings peace to the minds of a few | rabid Britishers, but the majority of British Columbian s believe that it is the old story, and | that no matter what acts may be committed by the American gunboats on Canadian seulers, the British war ships will not interfere. For this reason, Canadians have at last decided to , take the matter into their own hands and meet | force with force on the high seas. It is well known that the crews of all veesols that have proceeded to the sealing grounds | and those now preparing to go have been | fully armed with a view of resisting seizure, | a8 protection from England could no longer my3-f,3m Onhondery el TNA!

Regarding this story Capt. Scott, veteran sealer on the coast and part owner of two ves- sels already in Behring sea, said today that the report, no doubt, was true, but that the matter jhad been kept dead secret, as the British war vessels were more likely to. stop the pro- ject than interfere with the Americans, He suid that he knew the new skippers of the two vessels in which he was interested bad armed their crews and before sailing had sworn to go down with their vessel her than submit to seizure when engaged in lawful fishing, aud the British Columbians have now taken affairs in their own hands, and if the commander of the Rush or Corwin attempt any of their tricks bee § will geta warm reception.

Brennan, the light-weight pugilist,who was injured in a sparring match Thnrsday night at Chicago with Frank Garrard, died at 4o'clock yesterday morning. Brennan first | sprang into pugilistic fame ayoar ago. His ‘first ring fight, however, was with Tommy | White a couple of months ago, and ho bested | White aftera battle that lasted seventy-six jrounds, He was about twenty-one years old. Last night when Brennan and Garrard jumped into the ring it was apparent there was blood | between the fighters. Ever since Brennan half | killed Tommy White in Indiana a month ago | words of an uncomplimentary nature have been | passing between Garrard, who was White's | triend, and Brennan's backers, Before they went into the ring Thursday night both indulged in sanguinary threats that | Were rather pleasing to the crowd that had as- sembled to see the fight. When time was called for the first round the two men sprang at each othor like tigers, Instead of sparring for an opening their Lands flew ont like battering |rams. Brennan, in his anxiety to land « shot that would settle the tight, lost his balance aud went down on his back. ‘He Kot up in an in- stant, however, and forced the fighting in a way that kept Garrard galloping ail over the ge. All during this round he seemed to have his antagonist, who was a much larger man, completely at his mercy, and there was scarcely one among the big crowd of spectators but thought that in the next round he would be abie to knock out Gar- rard, who was already dazed and unable to de- fend hunself from the ferocious rushes of his young opponent. When the round was ended, however, it was ncticed that Lrennan was nob in good condition and his seconds began dosing him with whisky. Garrard, in his corner, seemed almost done for and exhibited bnt lit- tle interest in the whispered counsels of his efforts to knock him out, but he was unable to escape the terrific shots that were aimed at his neck, and fell every time he got within reach- ing distance. The remaining rounds were but a repetition of the second. Garrard had every- thing his own way, but could uot get in the final blow. At last, in the fifth round, Bren- nau, to save himself, threw his arms around Garrard’s waist. He fell backward and Gar- rard went down on top of his opponent, land- ing on his breast with ail his weight. Bren- nan's he; hit the floor with fearful force. When_his seconds picked him up he was limp and lifeless, He had suffered concussion of the brain. Garrard was arrested at once. and early yesterday morning “Keddy” Galiagher of Cleveland, who was referee, and the seconds were also placed in custod 1 Ch: —————— eee ____ HELD FOR INCITING TO RIOT, One of the Incidents of a Fourth of July Celebration in Pittsburg. Yesterday as the Catholic societies were on their way to the point of formation for their Fourth of July parade at Pittsburg, St. Stanis- laus Society of Lawrenceville became involved in a quarrel with the driver of one of the gov- ernment mail wagons that resulted seriously for the captain of the company, Charles Dytt- mar, who was arrested on a charge of inciting to riot. The company had halted at the en- trance of the wagon yard of the post office as the mail wagon came along and demanded an entrance, Dyttmar told the driver to wait until the company got away, and refused to order move, After some hot words the driver started through the ranks and was stopped by several men, who seized the horse's head and pushed him back into the street. At this point the post office employes came run- ning out, and a fight was barely averted. While the government employes tried to make an entrance for the wagon, the Germans kept p'shing the horse into the street. The arrest vn 0 pb nae tall you elaim for tt. It.
