" THE OMAHA DaiLy BEE EVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7%. 1887, GREAT SUCCESSES.| The Reanion and Fair Promises Marvels on All Sides. THAIN LOADS OF VISITORS. Tents Rapidly Filling Up For To-D: GENERAL FAIRCHILD SPEAKS. Fifteen Thonsand People on the Fair Grounds. THE DISPLAY UNPRECEDENTED. A Great Variety of Every Product in the Btate. Fast Trotting, With Excellent Horses, Exciting Chariot Races and a Howst of Other Intereste ing Sports, Second Day of the Rennion, Yesterday morning the thoughts of the oceu- pants of Camp John A, Lozan seemed hope- ful of a pleasant day. They were not disap- polnted in so far as the absence or indication of rain was concerned. But the sun shone with great intensity, and if it had not been for a pleasant breeze from the west the heat would have been oppressive, Great us it was, it interrered with ueither man, woman or child in the performance of business or pur- suit_of pleasure, Quattermaster Clarkson worked as if the temperature was not the subject of the general consideration; the commander and his aldes busied them- selves with their wonted devotion, and the fakirs, hucksters and shopmen lost nul opportunity to make an advantegeous sale. In the tents the heat was experienced most, and those in them lost no time in ralsing the walls toadimit of all the friendly breeze which came their way. Many of the veter- aus were reminded by the heat of the scorch- ing suns of the south and there were but few of them who were willin ; to admit that they felt annoyed by the unexpected visitation. Among those who suffered most were the of- ficers of the state orgzanizations, who yes- terday in the various state headquarters opened their book by way of preparation tor the roster of n| year. The tents in hey held their levees were crowded with veterans the greater part of the day and the atmosphere, as aconsequence, was at times almost stifling, Bands wighout number paraded the streets or stood in” the immedi- ate vicinity of their headquarters and vlayed by the hour to the delectatiou of sweltering circles of comrades, who between tunes gave expression to commendation of the muscular and long-windea perforiners, About 4 o'clock In the afternoon, the breeze became cooler. Dark clouds formed in the north, and increased in darkness as they slowly moved toward the camp., The wind veored to the east and the clouds were wafted toward the west, where they piled In dense masses threatening to burst into oceans of rain. The sun, for a time, was obseured, and when at length it re- asserted itgsif, the black elouds sped toward the city, leaving a sunset s]{lh'mlul‘ which was adwired by thousands of the occupants of the cancp, It was thouzht that a fall of raln had been avoided, but when the floating masses reached the city the storm broke with considerable violence, The wind asserted itself for about ten minutes and swept the streets with torrents of rain. At the camp the severity of the storm was not felt, although 4the rain and wind were for £y short time, the masters of the situation. They soon ex- pended their force, and the inmates of the camp, under the light of a briliant moon, Immediatelv gave themselves up to all kinds of legitimate pleasure. To-day the grounds willbe in good condition and everybody feels that tha shoct-lived tempestuous visita- tion was productiye of the beneticial effect ot cooling the heated atmosphere. “T'he eatly trains, aud indeed those up to noon, brought a number of Grand Arwmy posts, all of whom were quartered without delay and difficulty.

Con and Fellow Citizens: We are here this afternoon to meet the Commander in Chief, General Fairehild, It is very warm and I will take none of yoar time in intioducing the general. AL, ade his appearance, he was reeeiv with applause. After an entertaining introductory, the general spoke as follows upon the subject of soldiers’ re- ‘The work of the Gi. A. R. is outside of fun and frolie. We bind ourselves by a solemn oath that no comrade shall want for bread; no comrade’s wife or widow shall want tor bread: no ecomrade’s orphan child shall want for bread: and please God, we have almost literally kept that bond that we made with our comrades and with one another: to-day, comrades and you have been compellé every yearof your life, to put your hands in your poekets for sweet charity’s Last year the posts of the Grand A the Republic expended over $2%0, charity and about an equal sum was ex- ll'lldenl n private life without the order and he woman's relief over $50,000, making over half a million dollar: ded tor the relief of our disabled comrades. 1 want to ask you, 1s not that a good reeord for us? (Voices, Yes, yes). We are not ask overnment of the U States At which we will not do selves. We ahnrly usk the govern- ment of the Unitéd States, for ~which we fought, to stand between us and our com- rades that are so far disabled asto be inca- itated for labor, and we have for years nd years asked congress 10 grant this one thing for the disabled men. Every man, so far disabled as to be ineapacitated for manual Iabor, shall be given a small pittance of $1i4 r year, $19 per month to keep him oat of @ poor houso, For that, comrades and tommander, we have been charged that dur- g these last few months by people of this Wy with being treasury raiders, It Lias beon publicly stated and publicly printed that the sooner this great Grand Army of the Republic dies the better the people will like it aud the burden will be removed trom them. What would you do with a man that uttered such sentenees as those? (Voices: ‘“‘Hang him!”): You hang a decent yellow dog. 1 would not honor him that much. (Ap- glluse‘) 1 would not dishonor a dog { putting such a man up beside him. (Laughter)) 1have some respect forade- cent yellow dog, but no respect fora man that falks that sort of thing. That is all we have asked for twenty years, and what we will continue toask until the government of the United States will do it, and not men only who are disabled in the service in the army, but en that have become disabled since. We say, and I think we say no more than the truth, that the government of the people of the United States of America can- not and should not let a man that served two months or more in the Union army be an inmate of a common pauper house and re- lieved by public charity. (Applause.) 1ltis a shame and a diserace to this nation if they allow that to continue, 1 think the govern- ment of the United States ought to take care of all the soldiers that are be taken eare of. You have soldiers’ and orphans’ homes in every state. ‘Fhey ought to be turned over to the gnvern- ment of the United States. You did not fight for Nebraska, you did not tight for Wis- cousin, Obio or New York. You fought for the government of the United States and the \west, You fought for the whole country without regard to state lines, and that brings me to the oath, gentlemen, in our creed. Because we fou:nt for the whole union, we believed our allegiance was to the whole union and not to any state, and we ach loyalty to the union to our children and nw{ in‘turn_to their children that o loyalty is not to Nebraska, Ohio or Pennsy vania, or any other state, but to the union, and they shall never, by any means, turn their backs upon the flag of the union at the command of the state authorities, It makes us citizens of the United States of America, and citizens of the state of Nebraska, but of the United States tirst and last including Ne- braska. (Applause.). That is the loyalty, com- rades, that we teach to our children and we are teaching this in capital letters fif- teen feet long and every man can read them. (Applause.) There is no qualificatios it 18 simply loyalty to the United States of America. 1 know they tell us that all people are loyal, but 1 doubt it a little, {’A{mlluse.) Bnt this lesson of loyalty should be tauzht to each of our children. No man was ever too patriotie in this country ot ours. There are men that teach loyalty to the state of their birth or adoption, and men who say that state-rights doctrines are right and that the seuth had a right to secede. That is simply scotched in this man. Our children are to take our places, and [ want them taught the same doctrines and keep it scotched. 1 want the sons of veterans to follow us and teach their children to sing the same songs of loy- alty throughout all generations. (Applause,) You have lieard from some of these men what the United States government could do. Weask nothing for patriotism. The man would a low-born scoundrel would ask pay . Every man is above We simply ask that the contract made 3 government of the United States with the army when you entered service. shall be kept. They told us that no man that en- tered the union army should ever want or be- come a public trust as » pauper, 1f misfortune fell to him. You remember that and I re. member it. Nor that he should ever be the inmate of a poor house, and no orphan child should be the inmate of a poor house. want the contract kept. (A voice, that's right.) 1 heard but a few days ago that the contract had been more than kept. I declare it has not and the same article read in this way. 1 cannot quote the ianguage if you will excuse me. (Here the speaker took " off his necktie and hunz it on the railing, and then took off nis collar.) There is not as much starch in that collar as there was in one of those fellows that went to Canada in 1861 (Loud applause.) (Here the speaker took off nis coat.) | [ beg your parcon 1 couldn’t help (That's™ all right, go on.) Everything that my coat hunz on is better than money. ‘I'lie man that will make that answer is a man whose heart was not in accord with the cause for which you fought. (A voice, That's right; one is In the presi- dential chair now; if anybody wanted to shoot him he would go a-fishing.) Let me make this caution to you. comrades, never open your moths at any time or place where any man can by .u( possibility found the charge or possible charge that you have spoken disrespectfully of thoe president of the United States. (Voices, Good, good.) When it the proper time to talk, and there are ns wlien every man has a right to open s mouth, then open them and let all the world know what you think. ~ (Loud ap- plause.)

The names were written in small books, each of the latter being intended for the names of the survivors at the reunion of the regiments'which lefy that state, It was thought, however, that ahout 250 names had been entered.

Some of these were executed at command by the sword, others by the voice, and others still by the bugle. These consisted in forming action front and moving by the right left and flank into the same.

BURMESTER, Adjutant General, Youthful Durmmera. The attention of the campers until yester- day was divided among the host of adult wmusicians who throng the grounds. They. then found new objects, however, to interest themin a trio ot youthful drummers, who in some respects may be considered remark- able, hey are the sons of veter- ans and come trom Pawnee City, ‘T'he eldest is scarcely seven vears and their names are Jake Bole, — Lehan and Rob- ert Albright, son of John Albright, of the place mentioned. Lehman isa slight little fellow, seemingly wlfimng but little more than his drumn, while Robbie Albright is not 80 tall thouzh & handsome little fellow and compactly formed. Each of these i3 apout four years of age. Of the three, Robbie is the more competent, hand- ling his sticks in a mauner to surprise and evoke the admiration of the crowd. He drums, too, with a sense of timing the mustc, displaying a talent quite unusual. The other two little tellows do well also, and the trio form a combination which is not the least among the attractions of the grounds. Decorations, The morning breezes that came gently stroll- ing from the upper realms yesterday morning had to kiss the profusion of flags, bunting, wreaths and weleoming and patriotic decora- tions of all kinds, 'The city is indeed in red, white and blue attire, and, saving a demo- eratic patch or two, the garnent of the union is as intact and as new as when the veterans who are here to-day handed it over to the people, Yet the work of decorating is not finished, and it is hard to tell where any more little ana ouz tiags can come from. One thing is noticeable the postoffice remains without “*patriotic frill or furbelow” with the exception of two tiny flags sticking out of the United States marshal’s office and three trom the United States court clerk’s room. Evidently it the postnaster had written to Grover asking an aporopriation to ornament the bullding, an would have replied, “Let ’er go Gallagher.” Both of the rallway headquarters are also devoid of any welcoming emblems, which is 8150 noticeable, L‘iDMllll{ when occasions ot this kind are financial harvests for them.

At 20 minutes past 3, the 2:45 horses came upon the track for their second heat, Daniel being permitted to start again as the de- on on his shut out was very close, The horses were quickly sent away, Ollie taking the lead and maintaining it with comparative ease to the finish, Jenny Lynn held second place to the third quarter, when she was lapped, then passed by Prince, who made a spurt to catch Oille, but he hadn’t the speed although he hustled Ollie over the score, Jenny Lynn third, Chipmunk fourth, |l).u el L. distanced good and solid thistime.

Hub to hub Sol and Tom Miller rushed past the first quarter in 85, but on nearing the half Sol left his feet, and fell hopelessly to the rear.

S SCE OF HORROR, Additional Detalls of the Holocaust at the Theatre Royal. LoNpoN, Bept. 6.—The victlms of the burning 7Theater Royal last night were mostly working people. As soon as the flames were extinguished a large force of men began searching for bodies. The stalr- way leading to the gallery was literally packed with bodies, while at the head of the stairs there were scores of others piled one on top of each other. The unfortunate victims had rushed to the door when the alarm was given, but found the stair- way blocked, and the means of escape cut off. In a short time the flames had reached them, and they suffered a horrible death. There were pitiful scenes in the vicinity of the burned theater this morning, as friends and relatives of supposed victims awaited the recovery of the bodles. In many cases fathers and mothers both perished, and numerous children are thus left withont means of support. Several of the bodies were burned so that only small ecinders re- mained, The number of persons severely injured is sixty. Itls feared that tha death list will reach 140, In nearly every ease the clothing had been torn off the victims. From many ot the bodies the limbs} were missing and the re- mains show evidence that they had been wrenched off, Several whole fawilies, num- bering from two to five persone, lost their lives. 'The construction of the gallery stair- case accounts for the great loss of life among the gallery people, ‘I'ne scene shifter said the fire originated AMONg S0Me gauze which in some Way bes came ignited, The flames spread to the scenery, of which the stage was uuusually full, owingzto the preparations in progress for the production of a vantomime.
