The sky was without a star and the wind blew in swecping gusts from the north. Tho heavens were rent with ligntoing, the flashes assuming a dull red color in their majostic play. The momorial services over, every camper hast- ened to his teut. The guy ropos wers tightened, the flaps were tightly drawn and the camp was placed in condition to with stand the storm. Those precautions, how- ever, had scarcely boen made when the wind increased in volume and the rain fell in tor- rents. This morning, it was a damp, chilly crowd of mortals which made its appearance on the strects and avenues, The ground was wot and muddy. The sky was overcast and ther was little hope that the storm had passed away. About noon, however, the sun burst through tho clouds and afferded great relief to the disappointed reunionists. Hard on the Militia. Tho greatest sufferers were the young militiamen, who had been eaught without other protection than that afforded by their light blue blouses. They stood tue ordeal with commendnblo patience, however, and were complimented by their respective com- manders, Tt nost disastrous offect of tho storm was ¢ _perienced by Troop A, First cavalry, N. N. G, eight of its members navrowly os: caping death from lightning. When the storm was at its height there came a flash which resembled the voflection of n mammoth prairie fire, and a pealof thun- der which would have distanced the roar of &)1 the guns in the field. Captain (Tlver thought there was some- thing wrong. He arose, rushed from his quarters to the lino of his trooper’s tents and found one of the tents upon the ground, but the inmates had not yet been aroused. He entered the ‘tent and found tho men had been struck by lightning, He immediately summoned Dr. Waldon and Dr. Dempster. “The ridge pole of the tent had boen shat- tered and one of its supports was seamed by the current from top to bottom. Against this post Lieutenant Wyant lay. s back was badly burned. Licutenant —Vosbe was burned on the leg [Iirst Ser- geant .

In the guard tent Privates James Carr, Floyd Eusign, Harvey Bromwell and Georze Lewger were also stunned, and in the tnird tent Sergeant Luebben was also uncouscious. Outsido, Private Smith, who was on guard, was felled to the ground and was unable to continue at bis post. Near him tho horses of the troop were picketed, and the animal be- longing o Lieutenant Wyant was also knocked down. The entire command spenc the night in trying to afford relief to their comrades, After the kain, g Tio usual drill by the ational guards oc- curred this morning, though that announced for the Woman's Relief Corps and Daugh- ters of Veterans did not take place. The latter felt that they were not sufficiently numerous, notwithstanding there are about fifty of thom on the ground. Thoy come from the follow tents: H. K.

These representatives have beon attracting a great deal of atten- tlon. They are atured in the uniform of the order, a davk blue dress with gold facings and and tha regulation military cap. They are all beautiful young women, and their parents mav well be proud of them, as they aro proud of their pareuts. And the Band Played. This morning the main avenue was thronged with thousands of tenters. ‘Thov were kept thero for threo hours by the efforts of the bands, All of whom had beon summoned to appear in thevicinity of headquarters. There are more bunds here now than were ever enumerated at a reunion in this state. Each 18 uniformed, and some of them in the most extravagant’ fashion.

On tho opposite side of the aveuue the Michigan. veterans were formed in_ line, and under the leadorship of Adjutant Goneral Cole, marched to departmontal headquarters, There they were drawn up in line and General Cole sald: “General Alger. allow me to present to you the remnants of the Michigan regiments’ on the grounds.” eneral Alger said that he was glad to meet tno representati )s of the Michigan rogiments. He knew that they filled their places justas creditably bere as they had in their former home, and on the field of battle and that he was sure they were a credit to the state of thoir adoption.

The brigade was drawn upon the plain north of the camp. ‘The brigado formed in two squares, On the left of the Socond regiment the artillery was« stationed, the cavairy . occupying the oxtreme left, (General Colby was mounted on the famous charger, Linden ‘Tree, the movements of which were the ad- wiration of every oue. Behind the genoral wus ranged his staff. On the reviewing stand sat Governor Thayer with Colonel Jenkins, Colonel Correll, Major Magoon. Colonel ' Downs and Lieutenant —Colonel Hotchkiss of his staff in full military costume. The pavilion was thronged aud thousands of spectators fringed the plain on cither side. The troops presented a magnifi- cent appearance, their arms and trapvings glistening in the sunlight. After " the line had been formed four orderlies laden - with the medals marched toward the commuand, and presentod to ocach company commander a box containing a number of medals corresponding to the number of men in the company. Gen- eral Colby rode toward the reviewing stand and saluting tho governor, spoke as follows : General Thayer—I have boen requested by the officers i nd men of my connnand, consti- tuting the First brigade of” the Nebraska Na- tlonal zunrds, 1o say w word to you for them in pprecintion of your services to the peovle of the state on the northwestern border during the wintor ¢ protection of thelr ives and porty azainst the depre- ations of N have desirod ¢ o ussuro of “their apprecition of your acts aud xdr vices ©desire to suy in bebalf of the men of my ud who served the state in the camoalen that thoy desiro to present you with w more substintial and tinz memorfal In recornition of such ser- vices, und 1 now desire in their oehalf to pre sent to Adjutant Genoral Cole and Colonel S H.

Obili's People Rapidly Recovering from the Effects of the Late Unpleasantncss, BALMACEDA'S BOODLE WAS CAPTURED. Over a Million Dollars in Cash Reco ered by the Junta's Soldiers— Incidents of the Kev- olution. (Copyright 1591 bu James Gordon Bennett.) Varraratso, Chilly (via Galveston, Tex.,) Sept. 2.—[By Mexican Cable to the Herald Special to Tur Bee. |—Balmaceda will not bave as much money when he reaches Eu- rope s he thought Le would by over $1,000, 000. One of his most ardent sup- norters and closest friends, Deputy Verduga, was captured today at Falea while he was making his way out of the country with the purpose, it is supposed, of jolning his fleeing chiof, cithor at Buenos Avres or in Europe. He was taken to San- tiago and turned over to the ruthorities, He oarried with him £00,000 in Chilian bauk notes and £00,000 1n drafts on London. This of courso was promptly confiscated by the representatives of tne junta, It was at first suvposed that Senor Perduga hud ac- companied the late president in his fight over the mountains, but u sharp lookout was kept for him, and the funds, novertheless, and his capture followed, There is little doubt but that Balmaceda is making his wa) over the Aades mountains through the south pass. It would be 1impossible to stop him now. Minister Eagan’s friends aro doing their best to dispel the impression that he bas acted offensively as o partisan of the late government. Oue of them, an American by the name of Spencer, is authority for the statement, t it was largely due to Mr. Eagan's efforts that the prosident decided to turn over the government to General Ba- quodano and give up the straggie. This was done according to Mr. Spencer’s story in the face of the opposition of Balmaceda's min- isters, who insisted that the victory of the revolutionists at Placilla was not decisive, and were desirous of keening up the fight de- spite the fall of Valparaiso. Be this as it may, the bitter feeling against Mr. Egan in particular aud Amer- icans in general shows no sign of abatement. The congressioual leaders pro- fess to be puzzled at the continued refusal of of the State department at Washington to recognize their envoys at the capitol, and are generally inclined to attribute the tardiness to ulterior motives, though just what they may bo they do uot say. There are vague rumors of fat contracts and nitrate beds in the air, but nothing definite is specified. No further news has been received hero today from the mob stricken town of Coronel. I am assured, howover, that the provincial government has taken steps which will result in tho restoration of order there in a short time. It is alto- gether probable that it may require some tighting to get the rebellious soldicrs and miners under subjection, and it is per- fectly safe to say that the ringleadors will be shot as soon as they are captured. Klaborate preparations are being made for the reception of the members of the junta, who will arrive here tonight or tomorrow on the steamer Arequipa from Iquique. Their arrival will be made the occasion of general rejoicing. Many of the bodies of the dead which have been lying on the battletield near Placilla were buvied today, and probably the balance of them will be crewated to- morrow, About all of tho woundea in the various fights which followed tho land- ing of General Canto’s army at Quintero buy havo been brought in and are receiving proper attention at the hands of the volunteer ambulance corps. Temporary hospitals had been fitted up wherever possible and room was made for all of them. Intendente Walker Martinez has got the city government here in fair working order and Valparaiso is gradually scttling down into 1ts ante-bellum state. The sane is true of Santlago, where the leaders of the govern- ment are now waiting the arrival of their confreres, A proclamation has been issued to the effect that any person who is harboring men who were ofticials under ‘Balmaceda aud fail to give them up to the authorities will be shot. [ have just received word from Santgo that Balmaceda 1 his tlight left his family bohind. They aronow boing cared for by Senor Domingo Torres, brother-in-law of the fugitive president, but who is himself a strong supporter of the congressionalists, Many nstauces of the unreliability of the late government, so far as abiding by its promises is concerned, are coming coustantly to light. One of the latest is the kill- ing of the valuable herd of blooded cattls belonging to Senora Edwards. Balmaceda promised Minister Eagan and Consul McCreery last June that this herd should not v interfered with, on the ground that nearly all the improved cattle in Chili were bred from it. A dispa oh received today from Ranche Mailla says that on August 23 an order from Balmaceda was presented, in accordance with which eighty - nine valuable imported cows wero killed, s NEW YORK PRO5IBITIONIS Result of Their Confarence Yester. day -An Encouraging Letter Atpaxy, N.

Tho vote for judge on the first ballot was 43 for Welty, 6 for Smith of Indianoia, ana for Siduoy Dodge. The candidates were called upon to announce their positions, and each uuderwent, a running fire of interroga- tives from the delegates. Mr. Welty said that he was an independent, not for révenue, but because the princinles of the party were right and just, and that he had never taken a case for a corporation, that o had never foru- closed a mortgage on a farm, dud that he had never rode ou a raitroad pass. He promised the convention that if nominated and elected ho would never ride on o railrond pass, and would give the farmer all the advantage the law would permit in tho foreclosure of farm mortgages.
