Cavr MoPiensos, | September bth, 1884, The unfortunate occurrence of yester day afternoon, which resulted in the in- jury of so many personr, has almost par- alyzed the camp and thrown over it a pall that cahnot be escaped. The programme for to-day was a grand one, including the sham battle at 3 p. m. and the naval combat at 8 p. m,, but notwithstanding these exciting features a stream of do- serters has been leaving camp ever since last ovening, and the crowd has dwindled down to almost nothing. Al eflorts to ro-animate things were useless and the stampede has been o heavy that at noon thero were not to exceed 2,000 persons on the grounds. Tents were deserted, Logan avenue, heretofore so full of life, no longer was black with eager crowds or resonant with music, and the attempt of the forlorn hope that remained, to cheer up their comrades, was a dismal failure. Tho only event of last evoning in camp was A CAMP FIRE, which was attended by a large crowd of veterans eager to unite onco more be- fore leaving in a joililication, There were several good specches, but no un- usual excitement was witinessed until Jim Laird was called for, and that gen- tleman no doubt wishes that he had not been present at all or had kept his seat. His appearance was the signal for an up- roar of disapproval, and he had hard whrk to get ina word edgewise. He was greeted with cries of ‘‘Porter!” “How about Porter!” etc., and it was with difficulty that he was allowed to say that the Porter question was a pol- itical one, and that he would discuss it at a more fitting time and placo. He discussed the pension bill and other minor topics, but it was with a sigh of relief that his friends saw him step down and out. During the eveming Masjor Clarkson made @ prosentation to Mr. A, Allee, the well known Omaha railroad man, handing him a magnificent gold amedal, which was purchased by the Ne- braska veterans for him in return for fa- vors shown them on the occasion of the Tast national reunion at Minneapolis. My, Allee responded fittingly. In the city thero took place the grand event of the week, when MAY BROTHERS gave a recoption to the G, A. R. boys and their friends. Cards of invitation were sent out some weeks ago, and the known gonerosity and enterprise of tho the brothers May led the fortunate ro- cipiants to anticipate *‘a picnic.” They were utterly unprepared however, for anything 80 extensive as was given. At eight o’clock p. m, Tue Bee reporter found himself in the midst of a vast crowd assembled in front of May Bros’. fine four story grocary building on Sixth streot, None present will ever for the sight and it is “the dead otr: t1p”" to say that no building in Nebrask was ever more elaborately decorated or so boautiful in its exterior appearaico. From the roof to the ground wera four lines covered with flags of allnationsand thousands of small flags wero nailed to every projection of window or door aud even driven into the brick wall. Three raph poles were hung with maasive wreaths of evergreon and wrapped with red, whito and blue, supporting lines of Chinese lanterns the full width of the house front and also to tho roof, The whole building was ABLAZE WITH LIGHT, and was s gorgeous as any fairy tale could describe. The east window of the first flogr, & very broad one, contained in characters ten feot in height, the words +May Bros.,’and above, two stars, the same #iza, while the west window in similar sizod lotters said **Come ogain G. A, R.” These mottoes were all composed of frame work supporting hundreds of wax candles,whose flaming tips made them ap- pear as lotters of fice, The eighteen big windows of tho three upper stories were onch supplied with a dozen rows of can- dles, twelve to the row, and the com- bined effect of all this was to make the building look like a palace of light. A splondid display of fireworks preced- ed the reception proper, and the lovely night was sparkling like a queen’s robe with hissing rockets, fire-wheels and many-Lued Koman candles, whilo the glare of red lights added to the wierd beauty of the ecene, Moantime the full Union Pacific band was playing in front of the building, and for overan hour the thousands of spectators wero royally en tertained, Following the outside exhi- ‘bition the guests bled into the interior of the store, the first floor of which was prepared ' in appropriate style, and were received at tho door their hosts. A great fl was festooned above the arched door and from it a large horseshoe of flowers depended, while above all ia gleaming letters was the word *‘Welcome,” After assembling on the inside and passing the usual compliments, Mr, Charles May, ascended the platform, which was con structed of boxes of soap, and made a bearty welroming address, neatly res ponded to by Majar Clarkson, of Schuy- ler, who paid a high compliment to the four May boys and their soclal and busi- nees popularity in the state, His remarks OMAHA DAILY BEE-- SATURDAY SEPTEMBER ¢. 1884, were interapersed with jokes that kept the audience in a roar all the time, The Union Pacific Band, who alse oc- cupied the stage, now played a thrilling and beautiful air *“The Warrior's Dream,” used for the first time on this occasion. Mayor Cleland, of Fremont, spoke next and was followed by Hon. H. G. Wolcott, Lioutenant KEbstein, of Fort Sidney, General Palmer, the Department Commander, Col. Smythe, Judge Hawes and others. General Morrow, of the 21st Infantry, made a finespecch in which he alluded beautitully to the unfortunate victims of the acvident, and exprossed the gratitude of the G, A, R. for such an entertain- mont, Tho toast to *‘the press” was respond edto by Major Davis, of Wahoo, and then “‘Jake” May was called to respond to'‘the agriculture of the west,” which he did by inviting all the boys to walk back and tako a glass of beer. This brief specch was received with great applause, and un- dor the superintendence of Mr. Low May and ascore of assistants, cigars and re- freshmentswore dished out atla livelyrate for the next hour. During the evening, speecheswere madeby Wm. P. Schussler, of Omaha; A. Allee, of Omaha; Sam Jones, of the U. P, and others, Oneof the best of all was the response to “THE TRAVELING MEN," made by Mr. Frank Bean, with M. J Neahr & Co., of Chicago. Mr. Bean spoke in high terms of the character of tho fim of May Bros, and their ability a8 business, He gave them credit for fair dealing in overy way and for always doing the fair thing by the traveling men and the houses he patronized. He con- cluded by saying that thoy were all “iglad to soll tho firm on sixty daye, but that tho trouble was they always wanted to pay cosh and make the discount on their own bills,” Mr* Bean was heart- ily cheered end congratulated on his oratorical ability. Among the traveling men present were the following: W. G. Higgins, with Sherman & Knox, Chicago; H. K. Groverman, with J. W, Doane & Co., Chicago and N. Y.; R. W, White, with Thompeon & Taylor Spice Co. Chicago; J. Lou Tucker, Royal DBaking Powder Co., Chicago; Cal H. Brown, with Dozier Weyl Cracker Co., St. Louis; Robert M. Simons, with W. K. McLaughlin & Co., Chi Frank E. Bean, with M, J. Neahr & Co., Chi- cano and Walter Challie, with Samuel Cuppules Woodonware Co., St. Louis. The Omaha G !ee club sent out W. B. Wilking, 1. W. Breckenrldge, Will Stevens, W. L. Welsh, C. K. Cralle, C. E. Burmester and J. R. Manchester and the sextette gave some fine selections, finally getting onto patriotic airs, such as SMARCHING THROUGH GEORGEA,” which brought down the house and start- cd the ball rolling, The U, P., band fol- lowed auit, and for three hours the jolli- fication continued, those present, includ- ing the oldest and most dignitied officers, locked arms and marching around the room in a circle while they sang all the ole. army songs loud enough to be heard in Omaha, and fairly rent the walls with cheers for May DBros., and others. Lunch and refreshments of all kinds were supplied in such inexhaustible quantity as to suggest that there must be a ware- house somewhere that wus being drawn on, for it didn’t diminish the stock on hand visibly. The firm is to be congratulated on the success of their ‘‘informal reception” which was an event that will never be forgotten and all hope that the boundless prosperity which has followed them for a quarter of a century in business at Fremont may follow them for all future time. OF tho four brothers, Lou May, the Nebraska Fish Commissioner, is best known to Omaha folks and his reputa- tion isthat of a most liberal, genial noble hearted gentleman, whose visits to this city are hailed with pleasure by all who know him. Gauging the rest of the family on the same basis, the universal sentiment would be *‘Long life to all.” THE LAST DAY, At the close of the rcception, a large mjority of THE U, P. BAND, | : with a few friends, charterod a wagon and drove out to the camp, serenading the citiz:ns along the route with vocal selections, The dancehall was visited and then, taking the ferry-boat, tho party made a raid on the island opposite the camp and found a mixed company of snide gamblers and other roprobites, and having no use for them returned and came back to the city. Tho avenues wero kept lively until about 3a. m., when they became deserted and most of tha ‘“dwellers in tents” were soon wrapped in slumber. ‘I'his morning a strong wind awoke the sleeping hosts by shaking the tonts and sonding a chilling blast throughhalf cpen tai As the dawn morged itsclf into v tho gale increased and the anowy habitations were soverely tried, several of them going down and leaving their oceupants homeless. A very maall crowd was scen on themain streets, aud it was learned that several tents had been struck during the night, and a large part of McPherson’s garrison evacuated the fort, One enterprising “‘vet” had stolen anothers tent and an advor tisement at the intelligence oflice stated that if it would bo roturned no questions would be asked., Several other tents were appropriated during the day, and two men were arrested and put in the guard house for pilfering, The outlook for the last day of the reunion was a slim one and all the bands but two having disappeared there thero was nothing to break the stillness of the tented field except a shot from the cannon at sunrise, until the 2Ist infantry band came out and played & while in front of tho general headquarters, after which they gerenaded the Illinois and Wisconsin delegations and the Ladies’ Relief corps, (ieneral Morrow accompany- ing them with his adjutant, Lieutenant Ebsteln. The latter, by the way,is & hand- some and gallant young officer and was cheered during the morning by the com- pany of three young ladies, who pre- sented him with &« mammoth boquet of exquisite beauty, THE OUIDOOK PHOTOGRAPHER was on hand as usual and took views of the Illinols association and Wisconsin votorans, who remained together longer than any other organizations. They were all armed and drawn up in double line with their baoners in the center and the *‘Badger” corps had with them their wives and dauchters, and were farther set off by the company of the drum corpr and the Table Rock brass band, which had been playing on Thomas street Outside of these two meetings, the badge fiend, the organ grinder, the card writer, and other artists held full sway over the crowd, At ten o'clock a visit was made 10 the river to see THE FAMOUS IRONCLAD which was to do battle in the evening She was tied up to the bank at a hayfield just north of camp, in the bend of the ver and loomed up in great shape. Her sidosand hurricane deck were covered with black paper muslin, four ugly look- canion, made out of stove drums and a double row of mortars gave her a form able appearance and altogether it was very creditabloas a specimen of Nobraska boat building and should be presented to Senator Chandlor for use in the United States navy now that it is no longer needed. The wind .was sweeping up the river and ruflling ita sur faco with waves, the sand was flying in clouds on either shore, and altogether the day was calculated to inspire one to deeds of blood and this deadly engine of war to aid them, The small scow used as a forry boat was kept busy carrying loads over the stream below (ladies free and a band of martial music added to the attractions of the sea voyage. THE BOOMING OF CANNON recalled us to oamp, whero a_skirmish drill and artillery practice had drawn the crowd to the east side of the canvas vilage.q When this was over the camp subsided into quiet, and as the crowd soemed to o going from instead of to the grounds the prospects for the day became more discouraging. ¥ The ofticial headquurters were in con- fusion from the packing up that had be- gun and applications were steadily being made to remove tents and as steadily rofused. There was consid- erable trouble about this business. It appoars that when the government rofused any longer to loan tents, the posts were notified that they must pro- vide their own quarters, and many not feeling that they could comply, there was o large falling-off' in attendance. The state finally provided about 200 larze new tents, and the rest wes furnished by about 35 posts of the state, and, as a matter of fact, there were ample accom- modations for twice the number who came, From eloven o'clock until 3p. m. thero was little of interest going on, but between noon and the hour set for the sham battle taings looked better and an unexpectedly large crowd came down from the city, a constant stream of vohicles coming and going con- tinually, At 2:30 p. m. at least 15,000 people were in camp and preparations wore made to begin the day's work. JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE the voterans formed by divisions on Logan avenuo opposite the _commander’s tent. Kach man was armed with abreech loader end *‘forty rounds” dealt out to him. The cavalry occupied the extreme right and the artillery and re- serve corps, the latter consisting of a well ‘uniformed militia _company were drawn up on tho left, The troops were divided and about one-fourth the infantry, n_emall squad of cavalry, one cannon and & martial band assigned to the rebels, who at once marched off and proceeded to occupy a fort constructed on the river bank, m which the gun was placed. The nunion troops, commanded by General John M. Thayer, than whom, tho boys sey, ‘no braver man over straddled a horse,” marched off in solid column to the east and thence south, the plot being to executo & flank moyement on the enemy, Inorder to capture the elmost impregnable fort- ress and end the bitter war that had raged on the Platte for five days, the river fleet was to co-operate with the land forces, and by assault from both land and water wipe out the rebels at ono fell blow. Such is the simple out- line of‘movements upon which a nation’s fute dopended. 1In order to inspire the Union troops to greatar valor they wers led by a consolidated band and on the other stde the war correspondents rode in a body, mounted on bob tailed donkeys, to the rebel stronghold and encouraged them by their prosence. The rebel forces as stated, werc along the river bank, thelr line running due noith and south and facing the east. The fleet had been towed from her moorings at the cornfield during the day by several men with ropes and loomed up like a thunder cloud just above the doomed fort. On the quarter deck of tho flagship ‘‘Fro- mont” stood the brave Commodore, John D. Moore, of Grand Island, and his crew consisted of picked men from Lyons Post, No. 11, of the same place. The commodore ordered himself to be lashed to the smoke stack and thon ordered the shoremen to untie the “Terror of the Seas,” give her more ropo and lsad her down to do bat{le, Mean time bueiness was boginning en the land side. The Union troops approached the rebel lines and thopickets were driven in, Therowas 2 brict but dosperato cavalry skirmish on thesouth side of the field and the Union forces woro ultimately repulsed (by mis- take). Soona body of infantry from eac sido advancad to the center ofthefiold and had a skirmish that was simply astonish- ing. Infact, it was admirable, and old soldiers in the crowd that surccunded battle field uttered oxclamations of izht, while the “‘kids” laughed at the that no one was wounded. The men nced a few steps, dropped in the fired, relosded andfired again ely, the wumnion forces being driven back it laughter. The ca neantime were at hot work and dushed abous the field cuiting and hing each other terribly, One brave »w from Omaha cut forty gashes in bis sabre in a hand to hand combat with w rebel cavalrman, The regular troops now came forward on both sides and rmed aline of battle, tho artillery came up and soon the guns of the fort were belching forth destruction in answer to heavy and fro- quent volloys from the union june, The two armies engaged in battle and the rat- tlo of musketry was very realistic, Vic- tory waverdd in the balance for some time, the non-appesrance of Commodore Moore causing no little anxiety, At last throwing shot and shell into the fort whose guns were now turned on the v sel. It was now evident that the crisis was at hand, and the rebels driving back the union forces, tho latter were obliged to call in the reserves, who came on the deed run with colors’ flying and drums beating, This brought out the confeder- ate rosorve but it was no use, for with a whoop and a yell the boys drove them back into the fort amid dreadful carnage. At this juncture commo] dore Moore succeeded in landing a detachment of marines, who scaled t'e the bank, captured the fort and planted the stars and stripes on her Lighest but - tress, the white flag going up at once from its defenders. This eunded the battle, except a few slight incidents such s an attempted escape of some rebel cavaleymen, fortunately frustrated, and the vutire force of the enemy surrender- od and were taken prisoners of war, The reserves did heroic service, o aquad of five unarmed men copiuring and hauling off the rebel mon. The troops wore formally thanked by General Thayor for their bravery, and Com- nander Moore, who was wounded 1u the hght, was promoted to the rank of Ad miral and dubbed with a K. C, B, The entire engagement lasted ahout aa hour and twenty minutes, and it held the vast crowd during all that time, in she most intonse excitement, The with those ofticial report chows that a majority of [ the Platto v the wounded men were of small statue, but it would be troason to think that brave men would pick them out just to lighten the labor of bearing them off the field.
