Pamis, August 13—1 a. m.—The town of Vicay has been thrown intoa state of consternation by the announce- ment of a frightfl railroad disaster that occurred yesterday on the Vichy branch railway, at Halterer station, between Vichy and Maulits. Itis stated that an express train from Paris ran intoa slow train. A great number of porsons are reported killad and in- jured and most alarming rumors pre- vail. Without doubt the facts of the accident are exaggerated. Anxiety prevails among sojourners at the baths at Vichy, in the absencs of exact .n- formation regarding the fate of rela- tions and friends. The caure of the collision 1s attributed to the fog, which was hanging over the country at the time. Through this fox,it is thought; the Paris express was dashingat heaa” long speed, and the presence of the other train on the track was mnot known in time to prevent the catas- trophe. HORKOE.

Greener, of the counsel of Cadet Whittaker, made an argument yester- day before Secretary Ramsey, adyo- cating that a court-martial be granted, and that, pendivg a_decision on this point, Whittaker, who has been in confinement since the opening of the court of inquiry at West Point, be granted a furlough The secrotary took the question of granting a court- martial under advisement, but at once ordered that Whittaker be granted an indefinits furlough. From what the socretary said to Prof. Greener, the latter infers that a court-martial will beordered. The granting of an in- definite furlough to Whittaker, how- ever, disposes of the entire question indefinitely, snd final action may not be had in the case until the meeting of congress in December.

The Great City of the TLakes Attired in Holi- day Garments, ASea of Human Faces Turned Toward the Mighty Tem- plar Throng. Fifty Thousan outiyilliantly Uniformed Knights in the City. Five Miles of Plumes Sabres. and Speclal dispatch to Tho Beo, Ciicaco, August 17, 10 a. m.—The grand procession began to form at 8:30, and at 10 a. m. is just boglning tomove. The strects aro densely packed for miles in all directions. Tt is utterly impossiblo to make a pass- age through thom. The number of knights in the city is estimated it 50,000. Many commanderies have come that were not cxpected, and all camo stronger in numbers than anticipated. Large numbers of people were unable at the last moment toresist the temptation of a cheap ex- cursion and attend the greatest con clave in tho history of Templarism. The local commanderies last night found it impossible to formally recoive all comers according to programmo, but did the best they could.” Crowded special trains were arriving all night, and _processions with bands marching through the streets. The weather to-day is all that could be desired —cool and cloudy. Tho air was freshened and streets sprinkled by a fine shower at an early hour this morning. It is impossible to de- scribe THE APPEARANCE OF THE CITY in adequate terms. The decor- ations are much finer and the crowds much larger than at the Grant reception last winter. The buildings all along the line of march and on all the principal stroets are festooned and covered with ever- groens, flags, Masoaic emblems, mot- toes and beantiful desizna of every de- scription. On Wabash and Michigan venues are sixteen arches or rather canopies stretehed from the four cor- ners at the various street crossings. The memorlal arch and tho grand master's arch are the most beautiful. All the colebrated bands in the coun- try, excont the New York Sevanth regiment band, are in line, and with their varied and beautiful uni- forma add variety and efct to the procession. Competent judges, old templars, who have witnessed several provious triennial conclaves, say the parade to-day for magnitude and mag- nificence has never been equalled in this country. 12:20 p. m.—Tt is cstimated that over HALF A MILLION PEOPLE line the strects, witnessing the pa- Tho procession moved in threo divisions and twenty sub- ons. The head of tho proces- sion started at 10 a. m. and did not reach the end of the five mile route at the Grand Pacific hotel until after 1 p. m. The tail end of the processivn had then only passed out of Clark street, whero it was formed. The procession was therefore just as long as the line of march. The weather has become warm since ncon, and the procession moved slowly. Each com- mandery bas several attendants car- rying pails and kegs of ice water. Frequent stoppages are made quaff cooling beverages. The last di- vision of the line will not_probably reach the end of theroute. It is prob- able that tho afternoon programme of yachting and lake steamer axcursions will beslighted by the tired knights. They will be obliged to rest and re- cuperate for the grand ball to-night. THE MONSTER PROCESSION. OFF. Spesial dispatchito Tho Bee, :A60, August 18—1 a. m.—The mplarparade ended somewhat abruptly. Many of the commander- ies began to rendezvous as early as 7 o'clock. The work of forming such a ponderous procession was more ardu- oua than anticipated, requiring most of the forenoon. This was exhaust- ing to the men with their heavy uni- forms and equipments, snd wlien the weather turned suddenly quite warm at noon, they began to wilt and drop out of line. ~ This continued for some time and_finally whole commanderies began to drop out and the parade was virtually off. Several cases of exhaus- tion or sanstroke are reported amons thosein line, but none, as yet, have resulted seriously. The evening papers estimate the number in line atnearly twenty to thirty thousand, including nearly one hundred bauds. The number of stran- gers in the city, aside from the Knights, is estimated at 200,000, and the crowds who thronged the streets to see the parade, at 500,000. About half this nember went home disap- pointed. Thousands who had posi- tions on the avenues opposite the en- campment were well paid, as they saw the whole procession, including Most Eminent Grand Moster Hurl- butin his carrisge, drawn by six black and seven white horses, the black horses having white harness and the white ones black harness. Following him were his peraonal staff in carriages, the wholo escorted by the Oriental Commandery, of Clove- land. But the vast crowds down town did not see auything but frag- mentary portions of the parade in forming and about half of the first d visions which passed over the eutire route. Many of. these people had paid high prices for advantageousseats but there was little co see, save a vast, jostling crowd. One cause of the early breaking up of the procession is said to have been the fact that many commanderies fell into line without their breakfasts. THE REVIEW. Upen regehing the grand reviewing stand at the intersection of Twelith street and Wabash Avenue, Most Em- inent Grand Master of the Grand En- campment of the [Tuited States, Vin- cent Lumbard Hurlbut, of Chicago, led the procession and entered the stand, which was occupied by other ¥ | grand officers of the Grand Encamp- ment, as follows: V. E. G. G., Benja- min Dean, oi Boston; V,E.G. R, E. P., Rev. Clinton Locke, of Chica- go. This stand was also set apart for grand officers of the grand’ comman- deries of the different states, s las number of whom were present. Grand Master Hurlbut stood at the front and received the salutes of the various commanderies as they passed. There wasa dense mass of spectators sitting and standing in the vicinity. RESTING KNIGHTS, During the afternoon, after the dis- banding of the parade, the knights gave themselves up to refreshment, relaxation, rest and recuperatin Some went on lake exc 1 rodo about the city, womo attonded the Chicago-Boston bas somo went to Forepaugh's circas, but the most_remained quictly in their quartersin camp witnessing the yacht contest, "HANTING PALL.
