The rendezvous was at the entrance to the hall of Custer post on Douglas street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth, There, at 1 o'clock a large number of spectators had assembled, and the gather- ing increased until at the hour of the starting of the procession, the assem- blage had massed into thousands, which reached as far west as 16th street. On all the intersccting streets march- ing bodies had taken up positions ready to fall into line when the order to march was gi . T'ne scene presented was an animated one. Flags fluttered from a number of the houses, gaily decked wagons shot hither and thither through the throng, ana military bodies marched and counter- marched with all tl esty inspired by the occasion. Althongh advertised to start at 1 o'clock, it was something over 2 before the line was formed and placed in mo- }iou.

The visitors then withdrew, leaving the silent city of the dead covered with flowers, mute tributes of loving hearts. No’ OF THE DAY, The parade was a “daisy." The police made no arrests to-day. The excrcises at the cemetery were very largely attended. ~I'he weather could hardly have been improved upon. There wer ctly eighteen open car- iages in the procession. The “Band of Hope' w out force in one of Dewrey & Stone's w The trains on the Union Pacifi & M. brought in a large number of “con men."” The small boy tarned out en masso, and large numpoers of him frescoed the streets and sidewalks along the line of march.

Each bore a large flower upon his lapel of the peony order, with the exception 01’ the ptain, who seemed to have n decorated by some thoughtful hand, which considerately bestowed a blush rose. The physical appearance of the men was generally commended as they advanced, but, it was remarked that some of them stood . in néed of in- struction in the science of marching. Though not s0 numerous on last Decoration day, the appearance of the Fourth infantry ‘s not less impressive. There were two companics of about men i line, E. and K. commanded ively by Licutenant Leyden and n Neide, while the whole was the dircetion of Colonel Kent, marched with military air and to the excellent music of their , under the leadership of Drum- jor Josenh Nevotti, In the cemeteries of St. Mary and Holy Sepulchro sleep about a dozen soldiers, among whom rests the gallant Gen, O'Neill well known to Irishmen.

They bore with them u lnrge flag, provided es- pecially for the grave of Gen O'Neill in foly Sepulehre cometery. Custer Post turned out about sixty strong.

Advices received at the Umon Pacitie headquarters yesterday evening detail the sud and mysterious death of & brake- man named Edward Barclay, who was one of the crew which emme i on the first section of yesterday's overland ex- press. ‘The train consisted of several ex- press cars loaded with perishable goods, three or four emigrant sleepers, and a way car, and left Green River an hour late. It was brought out by afreight crew, oue of the brakemen being Barclay, who wis a man about twenty-hve years of age. According to the statement of a pas- sengor, Barclay went on top of the train at about the time it entored: the Bitter Creek valley nud his failure to return was first noticed at Rock Springs. A search through all the cars failod to dis- cover him and tl ain proceeded as far as bdson, thisside of Ruwlins, without RIOUS AFFAILR. his showing up. Edson was reached abont 2 o'clock at night and as the train pulled in another of the crew went up rough the “Jookout™ and climbed over the emigrant sleepers, upon the roof of one of them sceing & ghastly spectacle. There prone upon his back laid the missing Edward Barelay, blood oozing from his ears, nose and mouth. He was stone dead. The body was taken down from its singular resting place and carried to Carbon, where it was left for official in- vestigation as to the cause of the death The only plausible theory advanced is that Barclay, when he went on top of the train, found a tramp there and that in an encotinter with him he was slugged to death The trainmen eay that there is no bridge, tunnel or shed from Green River to Carbon that a man could not clear standing up. - Another Defeat, The base ball game yesterday afternoon proved another victory for the “Peach Pies.” The game was well contested. The pis as good on both sides, but the homoe team was simply out played at every point. Anderson ocoupied the pitcher's stand for the Union Pacifics, while Wesley took a similar position for the visitors, The latter was more freely batted than in any previous game, the Union Pacifics man- uginF to score three runs oft his deli in addition to three oft Down's pitching, who threw the sphere in the first inning. Anderson played a gooé game for the home team The score by innings was as follows: Union Pacitics...3 000000 St. Louis. . 15000300 2-1 THEYCAUGHT A HARD CAASE. A Man Wanted in Kansay Oity for Burglary Tarns up in Omaha, The police picked up a sneak thief last night who was identified as a burglar wanted in Kansas city. The fellow is T. C. Raymond who was sent to the county jail for thirty days the last of April for the arceny of a roll of earpet from a ear at the Union Pacilic depot. He claimed to De an ignorant Italian at that tme and pretended that he could speak in Eng lish. He served his thirty days in jail and was released on Sunday afternoon he went through the house of Foreman Barnes of No. 2 hos mpany, at 1008 Douglas strect, and cd off lot ot silverware, some pocket handker- chiefs and other articles. He wrested by Ofticer Rolls and taken to the ecity jail. He gave his name as John Dog. Shortly after he was locked up he made an excuse which secured his temporary release from his cell. As soon as he reached the corridor he made a break for lit as caught by Jailor Me Donald_just es he was getting out of the door. When Night Jailor Peironet came on duty Raymond made a second tempt to escape, and came very being successful.’ Just as Peironet wr opening the cell door to allow Raymond and another party to pass out to the closet, Rnymond made a spring for the door.’ Tlie juilor forced the other pris. oner to the cell and locked the door, but by that time Raymond had turned up Farnam street, and was head- ing toward the court house, closely pursued by Mavshal Cumimings, Sargeant Matza and one or two other policémen. At Scventeenth strect the procession was met by County Jailer Joe Miller, who took a hand ‘in the race. Raymond, closely pushed by Peironct, turned up Seventeenth and made a rush for th barn in the rear of Mr. Millard’s re: dence. Into this he went and was fol- lowed by Peironet. The fugitive showed fight and v ‘,rmu]llly knocked down a few times by Peironet. He was finally cowed and returned to the city juil, where he was identificd by a picture in the rogue’s galleryas T.

He was chillingly reticent concerning the des- tination or object of his trip and ouly said he wun’gnlug “a little way west on the Union Pacifi In response to a query the detective said that the Pinker- ton agency had long looked upon Omahn as a mostadvantageous point from which to manage and direet detective work for the western country, and that there is no doubt but that a branch of the Pinkerton agency will soon be established in this eity.

On the conclusion of his testimony the board adjourned tifl this morning, On the way to this eity the BEE reporter met Mr. Kimball ahd asked how he felt over the investigdtion of the commis sioners, “Oh," he replied, “we haven't lost any sleep over it, and we haren't yet began to reduce in flesh, Unless something a little more severe is doveloped it is quite likely we will be able to saryive.” The reporter questioned him about the ubing with red paint of the Omaha street car by some person in the Blufls Friday night. “What do_yon know nsked the traflic manager, question ahout that?" turning the “Nothing save what has already been published in the Bi said the reporter, 'Such things are of little moment,"’ said Mr. Kimball, *“but they are fre- quently magnified, and_made to_roflect upon innocent people, Indeed, that act was one of some malcontent and some people will, of course, hold the entire community of the Blufls responsible for iy A third suggested that Omahans had al- ways treated the city and the people of the Bluffs with 1espect, and inquired whether the compliment had been re- turned, Mr. Kimball avoided the said: “‘Well, Omaha has late years made . greater progress than Council Blufts. ‘She has grown much more rap- idly, nlthough in earlier days Council Bluffs had the lead. When the railroads extended to that city tern Tow came thickly scttled, and Council Blufls derived some benefit from the settlement. But when the roads commenced to run through Nebraska they held to develop and settle a country which beeame tribu- tary to Omaha and the trade of that sce- tion naturally ated toward that city. Under I cumstances the same has been the case with all the other river towns.

Wagner was arrested and positively identified by the girl as the perpe- trator. He was odged in jail, and there has sinee been talk of lynching him. Last night acrowd of 100 asseinbled in the vicinity of the jail and discussed the matter until alate hour, but they lucked a_leader, and no attemptat’ violence was made.
