And the Loveliest of Autumn Days Ushers in the Historic 18th of October. Five Miles of Men Marching to Martial Music While the Multitudes Loudly Cheer. A Grand and Successful Observance of George's Karewell the Boys. to The Newburgh Centennary. NewnvreH, N, Y , Ootober 18 —This islone of the loveliest of lovely autumn days. The confidence of the people in the glorious sunshine of the IM}I of Octo- ber has its vindication, During the preparations for this centennial celebra- tion of Washington's disbanding and tak- ing leave of his rictorious army, all questions about possible rain were ~met with tho answer that for the past ten years the 18th of October has boen cicar and bright, and that the benediction of sunshine was oxpected, Great crowds of people arrived by boats and thronged down town streets. Many persons could not find lodgings, so crnwi;cd are the hotels and dwellings of the city and towns round about. The torchlight processions, firemen’s display of fireworks and much onthusiasm were the preparations last night for to-day. The bay was illumi- nated by olectric lights along the river front and a large number of vessels, in- cluding yachts and steamboats and United States war ships riding at anchor made a picturesque scene. Brass bands and the fifo and drum seemed not to be still during the night. Mayor Ward held a reception in honor of the distin- guished guests. At sunrise to-day five navy vessels fired salutes, responded to from others, by cannon planted at Washington’s head- quarters and elsowhere on both sides of the river, and by ringing of all church bells, Immense throngs of peo- &e are en the streets. One train on the est Shore railroad arrived in four sec- tions with 1,600 pasaengers. One Erie train with two engines had nineteen cars, packed with people, and the platforms were also C!‘OWdEL{. The New York Cen- tral and local roads are also pouring into town masses of people. Farm- ers’ families are coming in_ all sorts of vehicles and farm hands are trudging along a foot. The lawn at ‘Washington's headquarters was thronged long the hour for the beginaing of the exercises. Two hundred New York City policemen and & _local force are pre- serving order. The city never presented a finer display. Flags float everywhere. Thero are not less than 50,000 strangers in town. At noon scores of steamboats arrived bringing military and excursion parties. The Seventh regiment with the veteran corps arrived by special train. The “Twenty-third_and Thirteenth Brooklyn regiments arrived on the Grand Republic and Columbia. Owing to the late arrival of State troops, the parade not oven forming at the time appointed for the march. Traing on the North Hudson River road are delayed by the breaking down of an engine on the way, with a train of 19 crowded coaches. ~The Put- nam Phalanx is a notable body and look as if o band of ‘ Old Put's” soldiers had come again on earth with their uniform, step and tactics of the hevolution, Although at 12:30 there was no ap- pearance of o parade the scene around the reviewing stand was inspiring. The spectators crowd every vantage spot and enthusiastically cheer the various c.gani- sations marching to their rendezvous. The grandetand at the court house is decorated with National flags, steamers and bunting. The residences on the op- posite side of the street bear tho arms of ‘Massachusetta and Virginia. Governor Cleveland and staff arrived from Albany on the West Shore train at 10:30. The train had eighteen coaches crowded with | assengers. President Arthur sent letter of regret. Conkling was also invited, but could not come. The marines and soldiers and favor- ite troops of the State made an impos- ing display, while joined with these were visiting troops, veterans, civic societies ote,, which made the procession four iles long. It marched in five divisions, five bands of music in each division, The line of march was crowded with people who applaudedenthusiastically. The windows and ateps of the houses were filled with 1adies, who clapped their hands or waved handkerchiefs as the troopsmarched past. At afew minutes bofore ten Governor Oleveland and staff, Governor Brown, of Rhode Iland, and staff, Senator Hawley, of Connecticut,and other invited dignitaries took seats on the piatform. As the head of the procession reached the grand stand there was great enthusi- asm among the people. The gevernors of different states, Senator Bayard, chap- lain, orator, poet and others who had special parts assigned them in the exer- cises, wheeled from the ranks to the re- viewing stand. The march past took place to enlivening music and the parade was dismissed. The people then hastened o the lawn in front of Washingten’s headquarters, where the exercises took place. After the introductory overture Dby the fine band of the 7th regiment, Mayor Ward called the assemblage to or- der and Dr. 8. Ivansens offered prayer. Te Deum for 600 voices and band fol- lowed, and then henator Bayard was in- troduced lu'i:residcln of the celebration exercises, The Senator delivered an elo- quent address and was frequently ap- plauded. *‘Hail Columbia,” by a chorus and band, an original poem by Wallace Bruce, and 8 grand chorus, *‘No King but God,” followed, Senator Bayard then presented the orator of the day, Hon. Wm, Evarts, who received a cor- dial welcome, The oration of Evarts had Washing- fatesness, mbsr;-:»:mur« e ta the joy and | pride with w.. nate pros- | perous and powertu. . look back | upon the men's action and” eventa which | have determined their destiny and made | sure their happiness. Such people should | and do insist that these glories of their inheritance should never fade from the eyes of themsolves or their posterity. They will mark the scenes where mo- mentous transactions have had their birth with durablo monument; they will search out and commemorate every nob o ourpose and every virtuous act which g\:\\'u made up the collective force and se- cured general triumph; they will emblaz- on with their admiration and their grati- tude the names and deeds of the illus- trious actors in these great affairs, and finally they will swell the impulse and volume of impressions of the heroes past which they preserve and transmit to their descendants with their own homage and applause.” Tho orator then passed in review the beginning and end of the war of revolution, the movement to raise up a patriot king at the head of the upited people, with Wash- ington's refusal to accept the crown and his energetic action. What was there to breast this sudden flood of meet- ing and rage, what to still this storm, what to stay this rising conflict between the civil and military arm of the Govern- ment? What, indeed, but the name, fame, power and character of Washing- ton. With instant decision he stayed the anonymous call for_a meeting, convoked tho assembly for a day appointed by him- solf and prescribed its constitution, its duty and 1ts method of proceedings. He attended and addressed it himself, mas tered it by force of his reason and earn- estness, his expostulations and the authority of his presence. The united voice of the assembled officers was but an echo of its wisdom, and thus the illustrious leader suppressed a mili- tary revolt against the supremacy of the civil government as swiftly as he had overthrown the scheme to subvert its frame. On this very day one hundred voars ago, Congress issued a_proclama- tion disbanding all armies, and Washing- ton from Princeton, under date of No- vember 2, 1783, For this farewell ad- dress to the armies of the United States those two remarkablo papers embraced within their counsels the exhortations, the instructions, the warning and the benedictions of citizens and soldiers of the wholo country. They were the evi- dence at once that the great work of in- dependence was done and the nation was established. And now after 100 years of marvelous fortunes and crowded experience, we confront the days and work and men of the first age of the re- public. These rolling years have shown a growth and strength and wealth and numbers ever expanding, while intelli- gence, freedom, art, culture_and religion have pervaded and ennobled all material greatness. Wide, however, as is our land and vast our population to-day, these are not the limits to name the fame and power of the life and character of Washington. If it could be imagined that this nation, rent by disastrous fouds, broken in its unity, should ever present the miserable spectable of the undefined garments of his fame parted among his countrymen, while for the seemness visiture of his virtwe, the cast lots of this unutterable shame of this immeasurable crime should overtake this land, this people may be sure that no spot in the wide world is inhos- pitable to his glory, and no people in it but rejoices in the influ- ence of his power and his virtue. 1f the great statesman and orator, Mr. Fox, could in the British Parliament exalt the character of Washington, as that illustrious man deriving honor less from the splendor of his situation than from the dignity of his mind, before whom all borrowed greatness sinks into insignificance and all potenates of Earope become little and contempt- ible; if the famous eloquence of Erskine could speak of himas theonly humanbeing for whom he felt an awful reverence; if the political philosophy of Brougham prescribed it as the day of the historian and sage of all nations, to let no occa- ston passof commemorating thisillustrious man; if he asserted that until time shall be mno more will atest of the progress which our race has made in wisdom and virtue from the veneration paid to the immortal name of Washington; if our own great statesmen and orators join this acclaim, niloriturum alias nilortum tale The Hallelujah chorus after the oration, and Bishop Cox pronounced the benediction. The great crowds then scatterod to march by band. The people enjoyed themselves in their own way throughout the after- noon. In tho evening there was a fine pyrotechnic display, salutes were fired was given OMAH ¢ar its inspiration. The oration | nounced in the strongest terms. Sov B or limit can | eral incendiary speeches were made. A bishop declared if the negroes rights were thus trampled upon, a revolution will be the resul RAILROAD MATTERS, PULLMAN PROFITS, Curcaco, October 18.—~The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pull man Palace Car company was held here to-day, 94,000 shares of the capital stock being represented.

THE FREIGHT POOLS, Crrcaco, October 18.—The sub-com- mittee of the classitication committee of the east bound freight pool, visited the stock yards yestorday ahd nadeinqulrios concerning the shipment of dressed beef and other dressed meats. The rule has been that dressed beef would not be re- ceived for shipment except upon payment for full car load, 20,000 pounds. This did not interfere with shipments in bulk to the seaboard, but for interior towns smaller consignments were frequently wanted, and it became a custom for a shipper to make up the necessary weight by putting in dressed pork, mutton, ete. The question before the committee was whether this would be allowed to con- tinue. The sub-committee decided to recommend to the committee that the practice be not interferod with.
