THANKS ARE GIVEN. The ceremonies were opened at 2:30, with 2 prayer by Chaplamn Arnold of Company A, after which Captain W. R.

After the flag raising the address of the day was delivered by the Hon. T. Crawford, County Superintendent of Public Instruction, who related several touching incidents of the il War which had come under his personal no- tice. Among other things he said: The question has often presented itself to me, Do we think enough of the m Who fought and bled and died for that flag?” and it is with deep regiet that I am comvelled to answer "'No.” Many of us have forgotten that these men who fought for the cauze have a great claim upon this country whose unity they preserved. They faced danger and en- dured haraship without a murmur, thinking always of the flag under which they merved. During the reign of Napoleon a soldier of the Emperor, who had been shot in the heart -+ but was not yet dead, was laid upon the operating table and the surgeons probed for the bullet. “‘Probe deeper and you will find it," fspered the dying soldier. - “Find what asked the surgeon, and the soldier answered, ‘“The picture of the Emperor.”” And so if could have probed deep into the hearts men Who fought for the cause of y we would have found enshrined there cture of the flag they loved. SCATTERS HISTORIC EARTH. | After Mr. Crawford’s address the la- {dir of Appomattox Women’s Relief | Corps, under the direction of their pres- Ada N. Brown, held a short e and scattered the - historic earth at the foot of the flag staff. Be- fore beginning the ceremony Ms. Brown said: T ident, Mrs Women's Re- = ladies of the Appomattox | tier_Corps 5 now consecrate this liberty staff with soil from the battlefields of this republic, beginning with Lexington and Bunker Hill and from the tombs of Washingten, Lin- iu‘,]n, Grant, Jackson, Garfleld, Scott, Logan and others, as well as from the graves of John Hancock, Samuel Adams and Robert Treat Pain | Gependence, built s of the Declaration of In- Revere and Peter Faneull, cradle who of liberty at Boston, | and from the grave of our third martyred | Prestdent, Willlam McKinl We place this soil at the base of this beau- tiful staff with holy reverence, for it comes from the blood-baptized beds of honor, Where our comrades sleep beneath the crimson dews of war, in a land beloved, sanctified and re- deemed: The most of the scil used in the cer:- monies was collectad by Major Edwin A. Sherman, who sent a letter express- ing his regret at being unable to be present at the dedication. The letter was read by Captain Thomas. After the ceremony of the relief corps, the soil from Andersonville Prison was scattered at the base of the staff by George W. Collins and John Donovan, who were prisoners there during the Civil War. The exercises closed with an address by the Hon. Lincoln 8. Church. ward end of the cafe car where the pas- sengers were killed and injured. From a space six feet square the bodies of two women, a boy and & man were ta- | ken out. The westbound flyer, with its heavy bulkheaded cars, stayed on the rails back of the baggage and mail cars, and the passengers in this train escaped se- rious injury. As one man they rushed out of the train to assist the less fortu- nate ones on the train from this city. | PASSENGERS AID THE MAIMED. | Many stripped warm overcoats from | their backs and covered the suffering injured as they were borne to the less shattered cars of No. 5 and into the re- mains of the parlor car of No. 6. Neat- by farmers, hearing the crash, turned | out with blankets and did valiant ser- vice. According to statements made by of- ficials of the Pere Marquette, the west- | bound train was traveling down grade |at a rate of sixty miles an hour. The | eastbound train was climbing the hill at a speed of forty miles an hour. The former carried probably seventy-five | passengers, while the latter is believed to have been carrying at least 125 pas- The two trains collided at | about the middle of a ilong, sweeping curve three-quarters of a mile west of East Paris. | "On the inner side of the curve is a | nigh embankment, preventing a view of the track ghead. ‘When the engines met, one turned completely over and lay with ita nose in a direction opposite to that in which it had been traveling. The other climbed the wreckage of the first, its | boiler, torn from the trucks, standing | erect in the center of the debris. In the cafe coach of the ill-fated eastbound train, which was demolished as far back as the rear of the forward trucks, one of the most shocking of the | sengers. many tragedies of the wreck was en- acted. Section Foreman Baldwin, wife and son had spent Christmas in Grand Rapids and were returning to their home at Milliken. Between the man and wife, sitting on*the top of the car seat and playing with a bank received as a Christmas gift, was their little son. The crash came and all three met death. A beam flying through the air struck the child, beheading him. Mother and son were found together on the floor of the cafe car by the wrecking crew when they penetrated into the wreck. RELIEF TRAIN ON HAND. ‘he first relief train sent out from here brought in the injured and those of the dead who could be recovered without the aid of the wrecking outfit. The injured were rushed to the hospi- tals, where everything was in readi- ness for their reception. The second relfef train with the tool car and steam crane was sent to the wreck as Soom as the temporary hospital train had ar- rived here. Within twenty minutes.the wrecking crew had dug eight bodies, each one of them frozen stiff. They were brought here and sent to the Morgue. Shortly before noon a third train from the wreck arrrived with the last of the bodies, those of Engineer Stoddard and Fireman Burns, which had been found beneath the wreckage of the engines. Burns’ body was burned into shapelessness. e — Attempts Suicide on Seawall. Daniel Reardon, who resides at 15 Alta place, was found this morning about 2 o'clock by Special Policeman King of the Santa Fe on section 2 of the seawall with his throat and left wrist cut, the wounds being self-in- flicted. The sufferer was removed to the Harbor Hospital. The physicians are of opinion that he will die. 4 + EASTERN CONDITIONS AFFECT THE STOCKS American Securities Seem to Be Grow- ing in Favor All Over Europe. * LONDON, Dec. ' 27.—What little business was transacted on the Stock Exchange last week was completely dominated by the varying phases of the Far Eastern situation. Japanese securities were severely depressed at the beginning of the week, but became steadier when it was seen that the ne- gotiations between Russia and Japan were likely to continue. Depression, however, was rather general and was only resisted by the American mar- ket. The Statist calls attention to the fact that good American bonds are growing in favor all over Europe, and adds: “If the highest class of such bonds fell sufticiently in price to yield 4 per cent buying would be on an unprece- dentedly large scale. As it is, there have been lately immense purchases both of bonds and shares by French and German and other continental in- vestors.” —_—— Lad’s Condition Worse. OAKLAND, Dec. 27.—The condition of* Willie Kuhl, the cash boy who had his skull fractured last Thursday even- ing while playing in the basement of Taft & Pennoyer’s store, became worse this evening and Dr. J. M. Shannon, who has charge of the case, fears that meningitis may set in, which, in the weakened state of the boy, would no doubt prove fatal. ———————— Pretty papeteries in beautiful boxes; envelopes and paper tied with silk rib- bons.
