A Touching Incident Followed the Speech of Henyy Watterson. LOUISVILLE, K., Sept. 12.—Business by the Grand folks to-day. le thie delegates National encampment settled down slate for the good of the order and ficers for another year the rank lged in the reunions that of e become one of the most in- features of encampment week. At p Caldwell and ‘in the tents overat nville, as well as in the school- other post headquarters, the sur- vivors of § regiments and other com- panies n scattered throughout the coun- try m together to say “God bless you” once m n se never-to-be-for- gotten upon the battlefields. There v affecting scenes as com- rades who had not met since the war recog- nized each other. Their joy could not find expression in words and they fell upon each other’s necks, while the tears streamed down th wri d faces. Ihs;'rc were many ex-Confederates, too, that hunted ap the reunion quarters of iments with which they had engaged in hand to hand encounters, and made themselves at home with their former foes. Thus,in scores of places through- out the city the bfue and the gray spent the day and evening in a fraternization that came from the heart and soul. The del2gates to the National encampment found it difficult to get down to business after the emotion created by the welcom- ing exercis The scene that followed the closing words of the fervid oration of Henry Watterson was thriiling. The speaker himself was overcome with emotion and left the front of the stage. Men rose in their seats and not only cheered but yelled. They cried and cheered by turns, hugged each other and threw hats, fans and handkerchiefs into the air. But they were not prepared for the touching incident which followed thirty seconds later. Mrs. John A. Lo- gan was seated a short distance back of the commander-in-chief’s stand, and as Mr. Watterson walked away from the footlights, with the tears coursing down his cheeks, General Lawler took his hand and pulled him to Mrs. Logan. Neither could speak for a moment, and then the white-haired, motherly looking woman took his hand in both of hers, and when she found her voice said, tremblingly: 1 am glad I have been permitted to live to Lear your speech.” That was all she could say. Then she sat down and wept. Meanwhile a scene of avery different nature was being enacted at the opening session of the National Convention of the Women’s Relief Corps. For several years the branch of the organization at Canton, Ohio, has sent a delegate, Mrs. Ada A. Clark, and just as often she has been excluded on technical grounds, the oppo- sition to her being led by Mrs. Sherwood of the same city, an ex-president of the corps. The feud has becomea celebrated one in Ohio. This year Mrs. Clark came to Louisville, determined to enforce her claims, and early this morning, accom- panied by counsel, she appeared before Judge Edwards and secured the issue of fifteen injunctions, restraining as many National officers of the corps from refusing her recognition as a delegate. The papers were given to Sheriff Pflanz for personal service, and having succeeded in securing admission to the secret session in Liberty Hall by warning the sentinel of the majesty of the law, he proceeded to the platform and served the first injunction upon the National president, Mys. M. R. M. Wallace, of Chicago. Then he wasin a quandary. The other fourteen he did not know from Adam. Mrs. Wallace upon being asked to point them out refused bluntly. Delegates mounted chairs and begged their sisters not to betray their associates. But Mrs. Clark had friends on the floor, and one by one, amid a scene of wild excitement, the officials were desig- nated until all the injunctions had been served. Then Mrs. Clark took off her hat in triumph and the Sheriff withdrew. The address of Commander Lawler and the presentation of subordinate reports oc- cupied the remainder of the morning ses- sion of the encampment. When the en- campment reassembled at2:30 the location of the next encampment was made the special order. The claims of St. Paul were presented by H. A. Castle and ex-Governor McGill, those of Denver by Nicholas O’Brien and General John Cook Jr., and those of Buffalo by F. L. Atkinson and James Graham. The first ballot resulted as follows: St. Paul 396, Buffalo 226, Denver 187, Nash- ville 26. The selection of St. Paul was made unanimous. The election of officers was the next order. For commander-in-chief, General T. N. Walker of Indianapolis was nomi- nated by his only competitor, General Thayer of Nebraska, and chosen unani- mously; for senior vicecommander-in- chief, General G. H. Hobson of Greensburg, Ky., and for junior vice, 8. G. Cosgrove of the State of Washington, were chosen by acclamation. An adjournment was then taken until Friday afternoon. At the close of the morning session the officers and council of the Women'’s Relief Corps called a conference and decided not to continue with business until the Clark injunction has been argued in court. Counsel was at once employed to move its dissolution to-morrow morning. The dele- gates met in the afternoon with open doors and listened to speeches and the reading of letters from absentees. Mrs. Clark was in her seat, but took no part in the proceedings. The Ladies of the Grand Army met in conference at Liberty Hall, with Mrs. N. Gunlock of Chicago presiding. The report showed & mem bership of 20,000, an increase of 4000 during the year, mostly in Illinois. | No business of National importance was | transacted. The display of fireworks on the river front to-night was one of the finest ever scen here. Two hundred thousand spec- tators lined the Kentucky banks. Of Interest to the Coast. WASHINGTON, D.

SECURED ONLY A GUN. Failing to Open the Express . Safe the Outlaws Quickly Fled COWARDICE OF TWO OFFICERS. Deputy United States Marshals Hjd Thelr Weapons and Crouched Behind Seats. WICHITA, Kans., Sept. 12,~The west- bound passenger train on the Santa Fe was held up three miles west of Curtis, 0. T., at 3:15 o’clock this afternoon by four robbers, all of whom wore black masks. The robbers forced tLe section hoss, John Miller, at the point of a Winchester, to place ties and other obstructions on the track in a deep cut, and then, still keeping their guns leveled at him from behind a pile of rocks, they made him flag the train. The train, which was under the charge of Conductor Corfield, Engineer Robert Buswall, Fireman Tom Parks, came within an ace of crashing into the obstruc- tion. When the train stopped two of the desperadoes ordered the engineer and fire- man off the engine, and made them march down the track some distance. Several shots were fired through the ex- press-car, one of which barely missed Mes- senger Klever, who retreated to the smoker and did not venture out again during the holdup. The conductor and brakeman jumped off to investigate the cause of the ing down the muzzles of a pair of Win- chesters. They were ordered to get back on the train and obeyed instantly. The robbers first entered the mailcar, and then proceeded to go through the ex- press-car. They got nothing but the mes- senger’s gun, and when they asked the en- gineer who the messenger was, he said he was unable to identify him. Their programme had evidently been to compel the messenger at the point of guns to deliver up the money packages. Foiled in their efforts to open the safe, they beata hasty retreat, ordering the crew not to move the train until they gave the signal. The hold-up lastea nearly a half hour. Two Deputy United States Marshals who | were on the train exhibited pitiable cow- ardice, hiding their guns and crouching behind the seats. After the train got under way the deputy marshals fired at the retreating robbers from the baggage- car, but to no effect. During the hold-up the robbers’ horses were hitched in a ravine several rods dis- tant. A special train from Woodward, O. T., bearing Deputy Sheriff Ben Woodford and Deputy United States Marshals Fun- hauser and Hall, reached the scene an hour and a half after the hold-up. The trail was plain and leads in a southeast- | erly direction toward the Blackjack coun- try. The officers are in hot pursuit of the robbers. Itis the first instance of a day- light hold-up known in this section. SANTA CRUZ CRIMINALS. One Sentenced to Five Years—Another Pleads Guilty to Burglary.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 12.—About 10,000 people jostled against each other and sweltered in the grand stand and lawn at the Louisville Driving and Fair Association this afternoon in their effort to get places of vantage to witness the event of the day—the pacing race between Robert J, Joe Patchen and John R.

In the fourth heat Geers drove Robert J to his limit, and doing so he made a world’s record for a fourth heat for harness horses. In the contending heat Joe Patchen was a nose in front when the word was given, and he led to within fifty yards of the wire, when he went off his feet, and Robert J, who was only a neck behind him, passed under the wire a winner of the heat and race by a length.
