St Loris, Dee. Talmage, general manager; Wells 11, Blodgett, general solic- itor, and J. ', Howe, general agent of the Wabash, and ex-reccivers, returned from Chicazo this moming, aceompanied by Judze J. W. Phillips, attorney for the Central Trust company. Thomas F. Tutt, one of the re- ceivers, had a_long conference with Messrs, Blodgett and Taling In conversation witha reporter Tutt said he had nothing to <ay concerning the condition of Wabash at- fairs. He knew no more of the cuse than the nublie, as he had all of his information from the pivers. Blodeett said that he, as attorney for the recoivers, would go before Judge Treat, of the United States district courthere_to-morrow, and motify him for- mally of Judge Gresham's action. Judge “T'reat, Blodgett has no knowledgo of the Gresham decision and appointment_only throizh the papers. A fter the matter is laid betore him formally, Blodgett will ask for instructions for the guidance of the receivers in their future movements. Judgo Phillips stated that while the press was proclaining the injury done to Gould by the apvointment of neiv receivers and the splitting up oi the roperty, the actual harm is dono to & lot of nnocent people who are Nolders of Wabash socunties, For instance, $11,000,000 of S16,- 000,000 0f the gencral first mortgage or blanket mortgage bonds are held in Englavd. He declares that the division of the property will prove very detrimental, not only to the trust company’s mortgae but to indlvidual stock- holders. Tle bases this statement on the fact that Gould’s holdings are of a_very trifling amount, and that no'material injury is done lim by'Judge Gresham’s decision. At the vestion of the court General Swaine waited in Chieago to micet Judge Cooley, and the two together will arrive 'in St. Louis probably on Monday. Judge Phillws thinks that had not Judge Gresham made up his mind to appoint Judge Cooley he would have accepted the purchasing counmittee’s propo- ition.

Ho did not want to consume any time in ncodless words of welcowe, but would introduce some of his comrades who had something of in- terest to divulge. He introduced Major- General Morrow as a brave soldier and a genial comrude who would favor the guests with 1 paper on “What I Suw at Gettysburg. " GENERAL MORROW'S ADDRESS. Goneral Morrow arose und was groeted with a round of applause, in which the ladies joined heartily, The general said that 50 much bad been written of the battlo of Gettysburg, the greatest battle of the war, thut fie would not go into historical details, but would confine himself to the narration of incidents that came under his own obseryvation. He was in the great fight that comumenced on July 1, 1863 and closced on the fourth, and witnessed the con- flict of the armies whose combined forces nutabered 170,000 men. He was taken a prisoner on the second day of the fight and observed mueh of the confed- erate movements. For the first day they wore contident of sucee not give up until after Longstr feat. The meu in both armics we in intelligence and patrioiism, and sides were ighting 10 one thing, t fate of the grentest country of the world. ’i'l general roferred foelingly to the death of General Reynolds, with whom he was intimately acquainted, and paid a tribute to his valor as a soldier and wurth as & citizen and gentlemen. He referved to the fearful Iighunxunllu- scond day in which the Efeventh corps under Gen eral Howard did some of the bravest fighting of the war. By sheer for of numbers the first corps was driven back uafter havin, lost 6,000 of the 10,000 men with which they had T into the fight. At this point th Cleventh corps was foreed back and re- treated through the town ana reformed on Kulp's bill after having lost 4,00 men ‘T'he losses in the First ana Eleventh corps were heavier than were sustaned by sny two corps in sy filgm during the war. To General O, O. Howard's sugac selecting Bewnnary il is due the fin: success of the Union arms, which were enabled from this point to withstund the most determnined nssaults that were mado by Lee's valiant men. The speaker also paia & fitting tribute to the sble leader- ship of Gen. Doubleday. Following up lus personal reminisceace Gon. Morrow Game Pie, Moses .. Suppe L Silivan. Yradier, 'his and Boetger both decide of the inner man lad- told that the death’ of Gen. Revnolds | was regretted by confederates as well as by the union soldiers. The contederate sotdiers were jubilant over their victory of the first day. In'Gettveburg the pub; lic buildings and ¢hurches were used as hospitals. The speaker said that from his quarters as a prisoner he could the lines of the federnl armies. #lo could overhear the plans of the assaults upon the federal lines, Hg neard a member of Lee's staft say that the confederatos would dictate theiy thrms of peace in the halls of congres<, | The sounds of the puttle were heard g8 distinetly i the prisoner's quarters:as on the battie ground., Longstreot’s attnek on the fines on the second day of July was as braye an assault any army of thirty thousand men ever made. ‘Tho re- pulse was considered a_victory by the confederates beeause Longstreet sne ceeded in driving the federal lines back A half mile before he was repulsed. On the next day the defeat of Johnston was a groal vietory for the union forces Lee's failure to support Johnston gave the union forces an advantage that could not be overcome. The speaker witnessed the fight on the third day from the roof of the building on which he was a pris oner. He gave a pretty picture of the scene before the battle commenced and ulso a vivid description of the battle that followed. The advance and repulse of the imposing, valinnt charge of Pickett's devoted brignde, the flower of the army of the morthern Virginia was vividly described, MAJOR CLA SON'S ADDIESS, Major T. 8. Clarkson was called upon to give something of the history of the Loyal Logion, Referring to the history of the members of the Loyal Legion e said: “How varied are the experiences of the average American citizen, They are <o different from the experiences of the men who were born and raised under the sound of one church bell,” He re- ferred to his experience at Gottysburg whore he was born and educated. He was there afterwards in tho performance of his duty to his country. The members of the Loyal Legion did their duty in the struggle for liberty. They still ‘have a duty to do in caring for the muimed sol- diers and the widows and orphans of the soldiers dead, who are the special chal of the government they saved. The or of the ‘Loyal Legion is merely a soci one and hus no secrets, The budge, the emblem of the order, was won by the performance of duty and is dear to the heart of every man who is entitled to wear it Mr. Jules Lombard, of Chicago, was introduced by Mujor Clarkson and fay ored the guests with “T Fear No Foe,™ sungin the magnilicent manner that 1s possible onlyin a Lombard.

JUDGE THURSTON ADDR! Tn rising to respond to the taast, “The ties,” Judge John M. Thurston thanked the Loyal Legion for the honor they had conferred upon him by inviting him to take a part in the programme of the evening. As the son of a soldier who died for his country he felt at home with the commanders of the men who gave their_ lives in a common glory, He thought some bachelor ought to respond to the toast. They wouldn’t have o much experience but would huve more courage to assert their honest convictions. While the toast was “The L *he proposed to talk of women. A lady is the artiticial product of society. A Woman is God's best gitt of man. He said he couldu’t suy wueh of woman's introduction upon enrth because he didn 't take much stock in the spare rib story. He didn’t see how $o much of the good and beautiful could have been produced from such inferior material. He thought that some angel who saw man's lonely condition had left heaven to become his comforter. Speak- ing of woman's devotion to man he said that she never regretted her love for man 10 miatter what’the outcome v ive is oven quoted as having remarked that she wouldn't give Adam for the whole garden of Eden, He referred feclingly to woman’s influence upon the warrior, Nothing has aroused man to accomplish deeds of yalor as the encouraging voice of woman. The history of every nation i roplete with instances, patriotism,devo- tion and sacrifice of noble women. At the close of Judge Thurston’s ad- dress, which was warmly applauded, Missra! Lombara andi Norton s fevarod the party with an_excellent rendition of “Larboard Watch,” after which the ruests withdrew to the tune of *:Auld 'n% Syne.” The event was an unusu- brillinnt and pleasant one and one long to be remembored.

For vurious reasons the attendance at the benefit given to Paddy Nortbn, the Deadwood pugilist, at Cunningham'’s hall last night, was not as large as it ought to have been, still a neat sam was realized for the beneficiary of the even ing’s entertainment. The programme consisted of three four-round bouts, The first was between Chas, Phebe and Johnny La Mountain, two light-weights, and was an excellent i esting exhibition. Some lively blows were given and taken, both coni- testants retiring with equal honors, Sam Stevenson and Pat Roue sparred four lively rounds, and the evening's enter- tainment was closed with u comical bout between Paddy Norton and - Arthur Rothery, in which both men received some ivd ouing, Among the spectators was Mike Nor ton, a brother of the pugilict, who has been separatod from him for ten years or more.
