OMAHA DALy BEE —— FOURTEENTH YEA / SHOCKING CATASTROPHE. An Unfortunate Accident at the Fro- mont Rennion, The Amphitheater With a Throng of Many People Goes Down, Fifty Iojured Vietims Taken from the Wreck. No Fatalities Yet Reported, But Two Imminent, Other Particulars of the Sadly Marred Festivities, The Fourh Day of the Grand Con- clave Dawns Bright and Olear, to End in Sadness and Dire Anxioty. Camr McPreRsox. } September 4th, 1884, This letter is written on the eve of battle, and before it is in print this beautiful [spot will bo the scene of the conflict and dreadful carnagewill take the place of soclal and fraternal rejoic- ings. The men who are now exchang- ihg greetings and meeting as old com- rades and triends will soon meet at the point of the bayonet, and shot and shell will be exchanged instead of compli- wments, Still the valor of the reporter i equal to the emergency and if life is apared will furnish a full report. THE FOURTH DAY of the reunion is the most beautiful of all and promisos to prove the most in- teresting. The weather is lovely and he heat not so intense as yesterday. The enthusiasm increases and all present ap- pear to be enjoying themselyes, It is worthy of mention that THE DRESS PARADE of last evening, at b o'clock, was the fin- ost yet had, and attracted the entire camp to the parade ground south of the camp, where it is estimated not less than 20,000 people were assembled. Two battalions were formed on a line extend- ing east and west, the band of the 2lst Infantry occupying the extreme right. The firat hattalion, including nine com- panies, came next, and then the consoli- dated bands, 350 pieces, and next the second battalion of seven companies. The lines were formed with due precision, and passed in review before Camp Com- mander Thayer, General Morrow, their staffs aftl the officers of the department. The imposing mancuvres excited great enthusiasm, and in all the sea of faces there was not one but appeared pleased with the sight. At the conclusion the companies marched to their respective juarters, followed by tho assembled thousands and amid tho sound of stirring wusic from the bands, A GLORIOUS NIGHT succeeded the day, the camp fire at the pavilion drawing a large attendance and eliciting great enthusiasm, The address- es by Capt. Henryand others were of { tho usual stylo and were most interest- ing. The feature of this evening was the exhibition given by the Lincoln Flam- beau club, an organization which sent up about thirty of its members to entertain y visitors to Camp McPherson. The uni- form is of white from cap to trowsers and is very picturesque and attractive by night-time under the rays of & gorgeous full moon. Assemblylng at headquartors twonty-four rounds of Roman caudles were dealt out to each member and then the club marched to the parade ground, where a vast concourse of people awaited their coming, thousands occupying the srand stand and surging masses on the grounds. A space was set apart tor the axhibition on the river bank and here the boys, who carried flaming torches in their hands, went through a pretty drill, and wound up by firing off the Roman candles as they marched, e [ From another stand near by huge sky- rockets were sent oft over their heads, H forming arches of fire, beneath which they paraded like a detail from the army of Hades. To add to the effect Greek { firo was set off In large pan carried by cach man and lighted up the scene with an unearthly glaro, As it was reflected from the faces and forms of the crowd, ' it made the assewbly look like a grand conclave in the court of his Satannic Majesty, and the trecs on the island across the narrow stream resembled the fery forests across the Styx. The club | made a fine impression and increased it -day, when they made their appear- ance at headquarters and serenaded Gieneral Thayer, AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR, | marred the pleasure of this sight some- what. A team of horses took fright at the fiery display and ran away, colliding with the mgL spirited team owned by Honorable (ieorge Dorsey, which at once started off on the run and raced through the avenues at great speed. There were six ocoupants of the carriage and they were thrown out and several of them 4 injured. Elder Shinn and wife, well known in Omaha, were both considerably bruised, the former the worst, it being I at first thought that his leg was broken, | uarter-Master ¥. G, Parcell,s wife and Little daughter were badly shocked but not bruised to any extent. Another runaway oceurred this morn- ing and a woman and her five weeks old babe were thrown out and bruised up, Among the unfortunate iucidents was the sudden illness of a little four year old hild of Mr. Jacob Miller,of this county, which was scized with a violent case of — R. cholera infantum absut noon yesterday, and was removed from camp to the city, its life being dispaired of. It was report. ed still alive this morning, J. L. Bond, of Stromsburg, who was shot yesterday, was taken home to-day. the bullet was not found, but s believed that he will come out all right. Being a man_ who supports his family by hard word, a relief fund has been started in camp, and he will be well provided for, The foremoon of today was devoted principally to the mecting of state asso- ciations of veterans and a very interest. Ing sight it was. Companies were form. ed in front of the state hendquarters and headed by bands of music paraded through the camp and out upon the open field east of the camp, where, form- od in circles or hollow eqnares, their ban- ners flying in the center, the election of officers was held and short speeches made, after which the companies re-form. od and marched back to camp. The plains during the meetings, was a sight to behold and it, as well as Logan avenue wero litorally jammed with poople. Some of the states had a tremendous representation, Tllinois having over 700 voterans registered at their headquarters, churs have fewer present. A deloga- tion of four from West Virginia marched down with a band and elected each other ofticers, like the famous regiment in which all were brigadier generals ex cept one man, who was hired to be a pri- vate. Kentucky also has a_small reprosenta- tion, Pat O. Hawes being the only man that reported for the Bluo Grass state. Pat had lost his grip sack and ulster and had his pocket prcked at the hotel of ev- ery cont, but with the resolution and courage for which he is so noted, secured two bands and marched alone about the grounds. He presented an imposing ap- pearance and received a regular ovation all along the route. He then met and unanimously elected himself to ail the oflices of the Kentucky veteran’s assocla- tion of Nebraska, SEVERAL NEW BANDS arrived to-day, including the North Bend band and the Kremont band, which latter yesterday was_very highly compli- mented by General Morrow as the finest band he had heard outside of the ser- vice. There were serenades without number. The Twenty-first regiment band, in charge of Lieutenant Ebstien, sorenaded the Wisconsin veterans about 9o'clock. A double line of men who had belonged to the famous ‘‘iron Drigade” was drawn up in front of the door and after the music General Mor- row passed around among the boys ex- changing hearty hand-shakes and rene ing old acquaintances. The *‘Iron Brigade” was in the army of the Potemac, and was composed of troops under the command of General Sol Meredith,composed of regiments'from Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan, "Gen- eral Morrow was colonel of the 24th Michizan. The iron brigade became his- torical at the battle of Gettysburg, where the loss of men was greater in proportion to the body of men thon any racorded since the world was created. Later on the same band serenaded the preas and gave the boys some fine mu Thig band was in Oregon for twelve years and attended every public meeting within a hundred miles of their location. They will next winter make a tour through Nebraska, giving concerts at tho princi- pal cities, where there is a sure thing of a rare treat. Look out for them, THE COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION at its meeting this forenoon voted to re- consider the resolution previously adopt- ed to locate tha proposed Soldier’s Home of Nebraska at Plattsmouth, but the question is not yet settled. They also determined to dismiss the chargo of assault with intent to kill, filed against the target shooter, who was sup- posed to be responsible for the shooting of J. L. Pond and refund the man’s money, the shooting apparently having been accidental, It was decided to makoe the Nebraska Cynosure, of Lincoln, the oflicial paper of the state. The paper is edited by Dr, J. H, Painter and “olonel N. G. Frank: lin will edit the official column, THE MARCH OF STATES oceurring all forenoon long, kept things very lively, and some of them showed remarkable strength, Missouri even had sixty men, Wisconsin came out with a live eagle which is to participate in the sham battle, and is the legal success of the famous war feagle, ‘‘Old Abe,” whose reputation is ‘national.

He entered the service three months be fore he Was thirteen years of age and sorved through out the war, He was not drummer, cither, but carried a gun and was a sol- id, fighting, volunteer, The two regi wents from Nebraska were both repre- MAHA, Ni‘]!i..

It is of silk and now is but a small and tattered reminder of its former glor; It saw plenty of hot work. (ates Barber kept open house for the boys and his tent was frequented by all his friends. There the reportar met our old friend Sorgt. Allison, formerly of Omaha, and now at Fort McKinney, who is as jolly as ever. CUSTER POST NO, T of the Grand Army, located at Omaha, was oarly at the reunion and came forty strong, Commander Bloomaccompaniod froo in order to allay oxoitement and anxioty on the part of thoso who had friends, and this was commendable asit was enterprising. Since that physicians say that Miss Griswold's skall is fractured eo badly that sho eannot recover. Two or throe ladies are still ina eritical condi tion and having to remain on the und will suffer great discomforts, ANOTIER ACCIDENT, A young jockey named Rehaw, and well known in Omaha and David City, was picked up about 4 o'elock near the scene of the accident in _an unconscious condition. It is thought he had a sun- them, and General O'Brien was along to enjoy the fun. They had a pleasant location, and their banner was stationed in front of the quarters to direct friends to them, Custer post had tho largest delegation from any visiting post. Referring to Omaha mattors, people were dolighted to see the royal old Union Pacific band march in to-day, with Professor A. R. Toozer, its splendid leader and teacher, among them. They consolidated with the KFremont band, and made the welkin ring with their music, The Omaha Gleo club was also but have not yet sung in public. Crowdsiy'poured in all afternoon to witness the great sham battle which hore was to take place at 3 p. m, and at the appointed hour at least 40,000 porsons were assembled at the epaco nolocted for the fight, which was & broad and lovel plain soutll of the camp. Tho martial hosts were zathoring, the sound of warlike music was heard and the spirit of war hovered in the very air, 0 that all_wanted to rush to the front and minglo in tho fray. The im- pending conflict was unexpectedly averted and the whole business of the day suspended by a FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE which threw the whole camp into confu- sion and excltement, Opposite the parade ground was a rude amphitheater, roughly estimated to seat 3,000 people. 1t faced the battle ground and tho fort which will engage the gun- boats in battle, and was perhaps twelve feet in height. 1t was constructed under the direction of tho well-knewn bridge carpentor Tomkee, of Fremont, and was supposed to be very strong. 1t is clalm- ed, however, that it was not securcly braced, and at all events it proved un- unsafe. At 2;20 p. m., just as the field was crowded and folks anxiously awaiting the signal of battle, an immenss throng had taken seats on the structure and there was a siruggle by others to get ou. All at once a swaying motion was felt, and suddenly the whole structure col- lapsed, sliding sideways from east to west and coming down a confused and broken 1mass of timber and burying in its ruins mon, women and children, old andyour light and heavy. The crash was like ¢ nnen shot and teken to be that at first. Soom the accident was genorally known and there was a general rush by the erowd for the spot. This was the worst thing possible, and the officers seeing 1t made a charge and kept people away. The work of exiri- cating the injured ones was at once be- gun, and they were many. Some were bleaving and unconscicus, viicrs ivks only to find broken limbs refusing to support them, Groans and cries wero heard on all sides, and little children wailing among the rest. As fast as a suflorer was rescued they were conveyed to the camp, though a few were taken up town by relatives. The whole camp was a scene of excitement, and dozens of cats were turned into HOSPITALS and crowded with the victims, while a score of physiclans busied themsclves by going from tent to tent, setting limbs and prescribing for palients. It was at first believed that several were d, and the wildest rumors were flying about, but though several were taken up unconscious and badly hurt, no deaths have as yet ocourred, and it is hoped will not. General Thayer at onco issued or- ders tosuspend hostilities on the field and did all he could to provide for the care and comfort of the wounded. Tug Bei: reporter secured the follow- ing list of the injured and it is believed to be nearly complete. It was impos- sible to get the names of all and the many who got off with bruises or cuts are not counted, In this list the charac- tor of the injury is only given whero it was definitely learned or was excoeding- ly sovere. It is believed the list will run up over fifty when all aro reported, LIST OF THE INJURED, Mrs, Z. Avery, Grand Island, back injur. Miss Nellic VanVlict, Juniata.
