TWO O’CLOCK
STATUE OF LIBERTY
Grand Parade in New York This Morning in Honor of Bartholdi’s Great WorkNew York, Oct 28 - The day which will long be memorable as the occasion for the inauguration of BARTHOLDI’S great statue of Liberty Enlightening the World, opened dark and gloomy. The rain, which had fallen steadily for more than twenty-four hours, had ceased, but an almost impenetrable fog hung over the bay, rivers, and city. The statue was invisible, and range of vision was limited to about half a mile. The city, however, was alive with people at an early hour and detachments of soldiers and firemen could be seen hurrying to their respective rendezvous to take their places in the line of the big parade. Many buildings are decorated, the most notable being the city hall and postoffice. The Stars and Stripes and the national emblem of France float from the flagstaffs in all parts of the city and present a beautiful effect. An immense arch has been erected in front of the World office, and the World building is covered with flags and bunting.
The decorations of the City Hall consist of flags and banners festooned on spear heads, extended along the facade of the building. Long streamers and flags have been hung from the federal building opposite, along Mail street, through, through which the procession will march in order to pass the arch in front of the World office.
The French flag flies from the flag-staff of the Tribune building, and the Sun, Times, Star, and Express newspaper offices are all similarly decorated. Lower Broadway and Wall street are largely decorated, many of the fronts of the large buildings being almost obscured by flags, the tri-color predominating.
Mayor Grace arrived at the City Hall shortly after 9 o’clock and welcomed the different mayors and heads of departments from various cities who had arrived to take part in the festivities. Among these were Mayor WHITNEY of Brooklyn, accompanied by President OLENA and the members of the board of aldermen and supervisors occupying twenty-five carriages; Mayor Joseph HAYNES of Newark and the board of aldermen of that city with city officials; Mayor Morgan G. BUCKLEY of Hartford, with a number of aldermen; Mayor John B. THATCHER of Albany and Aldermen HITT, VAN ZANDT, NEWTON, WOODWARD, ROBBINS, BROWN, HOEY and Chief Engineer P. J. SHULIN also Mayer BEAUGRAND of Montreal, Mayor CLEVELAND of Jersey City, Mayor ROCKFELLER of Plainfield, Mayor RAYMOND, of Salem, Mass.
After being welcomed by Mayor Grace, Sheriff GRANT, as grand Marshal, wearing a rich tri-color sash over his shoulder, escorted the guests to the carriages in waiting on the plaza where Police Captain STEWART and a corps of officers kept the large crowd already assembled in order. President NOONEY of the Board of Aldermen and the grand marshal entered the first carriage and led the way up town.
The wet pavements, mud, chilly air and general discomfort were no appreciable bar to public enthusiasm over the event of Liberty’s unveiling. Streams of workingmen and women, who usually thread the streets at early morning hours carrying dinner pails and lunch baskets, were to-day as early astir, but with the difference that they wore their holiday attire, and their faces had expectancy in every feature. About 8 o’clock the people of the tenement districts began the movement toward the streets and avenues where they might see the pageant and hear the music. They had no money to pay for vantage ground on balconies or in windows on the line of march, and so they went early out from their homes to secure places on the streets. From a boundary line East and west at the river fronts the drift of people moved in families and parties until when nearing the line of march there grew to be a tide of human beings that at length damned up against the police lines, and let back its constantly flowing stream to near-by avenues. Meantime the favored dwellers in houses on Fifth avenue arose at leisure, and servants hung out bunting on the wet fronts of the dwellings, where it fluttered in occasional gusts of wind.
At nine o’clock the first division of the parade commenced to form on 58th street and 5th avenue. The Fifth U. S. Artillery and the engineer corps took positions in front of Secretary WHITNEY’S house. Next came the Old Guard who stood near the carriages waiting for the President and his cabinet to leave Secretary WHITNEY’S residence, where they had spent the night. Promptly at 10 o’clock President CLEVELAND, accompanied by Secretary BAYARD, descended the steps and entered an open carriage. They were followed by Secretary WHITNEY, Postmaster General VILAS, Secretary LAMAR, Private Secretary LAMONT, Rear Admiral ENOE(?) And staff and Maj. WHIPPEL. The Old Guard preceded the carriages, and at 10:15 o’clock commenced the march down Fifth avenue.
Both sides of the street were crowded with people who waved their hats and applauded loudly as the President’s carriage passed. On all the side streets from Central Park down to the reviewing stand on 24th street, military companies and civic organizations were formed. The carriages containing the President and cabinet were followed by a battalion of 250 police. The U. S. Naval brigade came next with the engineer corps which consisted of 250 men. The second regiment, numbering 325 men, fell in line at 59th street with 200 men composing the detachment of Massachusetts volunteer militia. These were followed by the 7th regiment, 400 men; 8th regiment, 250 men; 15th regiment, 200 men; 11th regiment, 224 men; 1st regiment, 300 men and the French societies numbering 250 men.
The Governors of Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and their staffs, together with the United States Judges, entered carriages at the Windsor Hotel and fell into line behind the French association.
The third brigade, in command of Hugh J. GRANT, consisting of the mayors of cities and municipal officials, a battalion of the police force of Philadelphia, 400 men; battalions of the police forces of Brooklyn and Jersey City, 300 men; veterans of the war of 1812, the Astec Club, veterans of the Mexican war and the military order of the Loyal Legion.
The fourth division was made of war-veteran military organizations, posts of the Grand Army of the Republic of New York, New Jersey and other States.
Brig. Gen. McLEER was in command of the fifth division, which was also composed of Grand Army posts.
Col. Locke WINCHESTER acted as marshal of the 6th division, which numbered 500 men belonging to Washington city, Continental Guard (with General WASHINGTON'S carriage). Old Washington Continental Guard, Sons of the Revolution and Sons of Veterans.
Maj. Gen. WEBB, marshal of the seventh division, had in his command 300 men, comprising the members of the different educational institutions.
The eighth division, commanded by Gen. Horatio C. KING, numbering 800 men, was made up of independent organizations.
The ninth division was commanded by Bernard J. DOLAN, and was composed of representatives of the Brooklyn fire department, association of old Brooklyniets, the mayor of Brooklyn and city officials.
John DECKER acted as marshal of the tenth division, which was composed of the Volunteer Firemen's Association, Board of Trade and Transportation, Knights of Pythias, Indiana, 250 men; Knights of Pythias, New York, 1,500 men; Odd Fellows' and other civic societies.
At 10:40 the Old Guard, acting as guard of honor to the President and headed by the Thirteenth Regiment band and drum corps arrived at the reviewing stand. The President was greeted with hearty cheers as he drove down the avenue and drew up in front of the stand. Secretary BAYARD rode in the carriage with him. The Old Guard made a fine show as they marched past the reviewing stand and formed in line on the opposite side of the avenue. After the President had taken his place on the reviewing stand the members of the French delegation were presented to him.
At precisely 11 o’clock the head of the procession reached the reviewing line. At the head rode Gen. STONE, accompanied by a large staff. After passing the reviewing line, Gen. STONE and his staff wheeled into line below the stand and the general took his place beside the President on the stand. The Seventh regiment struck up the Marsellies as it reached the reviewing stand. This was the first band to play the air, and every Frenchman on the stand removed his hat and shouted "bravo!" M. BARTHOLDI was deeply impressed by the spectacle. The great artist appeared at times to be deeply moved. He was constantly surrounded by enthusiastic gentlemen, and all points of special interest in the moving column were pointed out to him. Other notable persons on the stand previous to the arrival of President CLEVELAND were Gov. HILL, Chief Clerk BROWN of the State Department, in charge of the diplomatic corps, comprising the following: From the Hawaiian Islands, Minister CARTER; Argentine Confederation, Minister QUESODA; Chili, Minister GAVA; Peru; the Secretary; Bolivia, Minister CONAL; Equador, Minister FLORIN; Salvador, Minister VELARCO; Russia, Alexander GREGGOR, secretary of the legation, and France, Charge de Affaires, Count SALA. All the ministers were accompanied by their secretaries.
The following members of the Society of Cincinnati, which represents both France and America, were present: Judge Asa BARGARDNESS, Gen. John SCHUYLER, Gen. Herman BURGIN and Rear Admiral MALCOLM.
Others present were Presidenr William M. EVARTS of the American Committee and Gen. SICKLES, Gen. (H or B) AZEN, Gen SHERIDAN and staff, ex-mayor WICKHAM, Amassa J. PARKER of Albany, Gen. WILEY and Gen. SCHAEFER.
Meanwhile on the water there had been active preparation. War vessels of the North Atlantic squadron lay at anchor off Liberty island. The Yantic, Alliance, Tennessee, Minnesota, Saratoga and Portsmouth were there, while near at hand was the ancient warship Jamestown. At sunrise a gun boomed sullenly from the flagship Tennessee, and straightway over and through the rigging of all the war vessels there were fluttering flags and pennants. A rainbow of colors was spread over the topmasts of each vessel. At 7 o’clock a second gun shook the heavy air as three tugs steamed to the sides of the warships and soon over the sides embarked on the lighters the companies of tars who were to form the marine battalion in the great parade.
Soon after the head of the procession reached the reviewing point a drizzling rain began to fall. Some of the ladies on the grand stand spread their umbrellas, but President CLEVELAND who wore no overcoat stood at his post and removed his hat in response to every salute tendered him.
Madison Square teemed with people and the side streets were choked with humanity. Broadway was clogged with vehicles and street cars above and below the intersection of the line of march. When BARTHOLDI appeared on the reviewing stand and was easily recognized by the mass who had seen his portraits on programmes and in the illustrated papers, a shout went up from those nearest to the stand. The cry of "BARTHOLDI ! BARTHOLDI !" was then immediately caught up and passed to the people in the park and side streets until the air was shaken with a roaring cheer that must have gladdened the heart of the Alsatian, who bowed again and again his acknowledgments.
When President CLEVELAND arrived he was instantly recognized and again the crowds shook the welkin with their shouts, and from the house tops and the windows of the near-by hotels came shouts and the sounds of clapping hands to swell the roar of sound that like a wave broke over the park and flowed down the streets and along the avenue.
The formation of the marine part of the parade began on the Hudson river opposite Forty-fifth street at an early hour, but owing to the foggy weather it was nearly 1 o’clock before the signal gun was fired. At this time there were probably 100 vessels drawn up in two divisions, the first composed of large steamers and the second of tugs and smaller vessels.
Brooklyn, Oct 26 - There was no lack of enthusiasm on the part of the citizens of Brooklyn over the completion of the BARTHOLDI statue and the celebration of the event to-day. People were astir early, and all who had flags soon had them floating over their buildings or from their windows. All the public buildings were gaily decorated and the shipping wharves displayed all the bunting they had. The public schools were closed, and the doors in the public offices were locked at 11 o’clock. Soldiers to the number of 250 started from the Thirteenth Regiment Armory at about 7:30 o’clock, and the battalion of firemen, with their fire apparatus, followed them. The Old Brooklynites concluded not to join in the parade and went over to pier 4 on the steamboat Belle Houghton to wait for the mayor, alderman and supervisors from Brooklyn. The carriages for the mayor, alderman, supervisors and heads of the different departments were at the City Hall at 8 o’clock, but it was nearly 9 o’clock before the badges were distributed and the gentlemen took seats in the carriages and started for New York. At noon the city appeared to be almost deserted, nearly everybody having gone to New York to see the parade.
New York, Oct 18 - A reception was tendered to the members of the French delegation last night by the Union League Club. The theater of the club, where the reception was held, was beautifully decorated with French and American bunting, as was the interior of the entire building. In the banquet hall were floral designs representing Fort Washington and Lafayette, and French and American men-of-war. La France roses were strewn about profusely. The club rooms were crowded with prominent citizens and public men. Letters of regret were received from President CLEVELAND, Chester A. ARTHUR, Daniel LAMONT, Gen. SHERMAN, Roscoe CONKLING, Archbishop CORRIGAN, Attorney Denis O’BRIEN, Chief Justice WAITS, Daniel MANNING and others.
New York, Oct. 28 - The members of the Produce Exchange tendered a grand reception to the French delegates yesterday. M. BERTHOLDI made a few remarks in English, and M. De LESSEPS and one of the members of the Chamber of Deputies spoke in French. The Glee Club of the exchange sank the "Marselliase" when the delegates made their appearance in the gallery.

THE RED CROSS
An Interesting Letter Written by CLARA BARTON
An Eloquent Letter From the President of the Great Association-
Her Visit in the Sierras
The just recognition by the Hon. Charles T. SAXTON of the beneficent helpfulness of Clara BARTON in the hospitals and upon the battlefields of the Union, in his admirable address before the martial veterans of Wayne county, in the encampment at Sodus Point in August last , drew out the following expression of their sympathy, which the Rev. James P. FOSTER of Geneva, (a prominent member of this noble association) was requested to communicate to Miss BARTON:
"The public prints having announced that the soldiers’ benefactress, Miss Clara BARTON, in impaired health, has sought the genial climate of Lower California for rest and recreation, the Wayne County Veteran Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Association, in annual encampment at Sodus Point, August 17 to 20, 1886, send sympathy and grateful remembrance to this noble American gentlewoman, with earnest wishes for her recovery and happiness."
Miss BARTON’S response has just been received, with a request for twenty-five copies of the address. Unfortunately the small edition of 600 copies has been exhausted. The demand for this is so great that it is hoped another edition will soon be printed. We herewith give Miss BARTON’S eloquent and earnest letter.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 24, 1886Esteemed and Dear Friend - Your cordial letter of September 20th, with the accompanying printed copy of the address of Mr. SAXTON, reached Charleston as I left for Washington, and faithfully followed me home. It is not in my power to express to you how welcome were the words of that resolution passed at your grand meeting, and its unanimous endorsement by the men of all the world so honored by me. It is true that when all was periled and the moral and political earthquake shook us from foundation to turret, and the whole vast edifice of our national union reeled and tottered in its throes, and these, donning their working suits of blue, leaped into the yawning sulp?urous chasm of fire and blood, privation, suffering and death, to prop the structure with their bayonets, I gave to them the little I had to give - my sympathy, and sometimes possibly a wee little touch of the hand; but it was very little among so many, and who could have dreamed that twenty years later this sympathy would have come rolling back to me in bellows like the waves of the sea, from over the whole rescue and prosperous land ? It is so much for so little - such compound interest, they returned, that I shrink from the very knowledge of it, much less to find words for - -
Perhaps the most just and best thing I can do, is give one or two facts tending to lighten their apprehensions for me.
The illness which caused so much solicitation was of a less dangerous character than one would be led so far from a reported resort to Lower California. The monster that fastens upon the vitals not to let go his grasp, has never even pointed a finger at me; my lungs have been always sound and strong. But overwork had exhausted and prostrated, and there was need not of lower latitudes and soft atmospheres, but bracing, invigorating airs and "high life." the old comrades and campers of California knew what to do. Instead of Santa Barbara and Los Angeles they betook themselves with me to the rugged slopes and towering peaks of the High Sierras; and without even the shelter of a tent made our camp among the fallen needles of the scanty pines, where the moon and stars, with never a scud of a cloud, looked down upon our blanketed sleep, and the ice made in our camp cups through the August nights. The twittering of snow-birds and the chipping of squirrels awoke us as the morning sunbeams glinted in across the clear blue mountain lake, and at the word of command our little cavalcade of strong, fleet, mountain-trained horses started its climb of some rugged, rock-bound summit, towering high above us to right or left, and over primeval rocks and fallen timber, through gullies and ravines, we alternately picked and galloped our way up into the eternal snows resting in the majesty of solitude, with to? Sunshine and winds of the heavens alone for company. Back after a stroll of thirty-five or forty miles to the companionable supper around the crackling and blazing camp fire, and who could have guessed, by the quality of the evening’s entertainment, that "John BROWN’S body" had "mouldered" twenty years longer, or the "tramp, tramp" of marching feet had been heard no more through ??? that time; and I, who could scarcely leave my couch at the sea level, could lead that life in the mountains and gather strength to bring away with me.
May I, through you, my dear comrade, in the name of all womanhood return my appreciative thanks to Mr. SAXTON for his eloquent and masterly tribute to woman, in which he has shown not only a broad conception and strict sense of justice, but an insight into the character, attributes, nature, and capabilities of woman possessed by few, and acknowledged by still fewer. He has read history to some purpose, and the results of his research, I doubt not, while they have honored others, have broadened and enriched his own nature.
He draws strong lines between war and peace, and gives to the latter the glorious as?endency it should ever maintain; and he ac?or?s to woman the proud province of bringing it to its rightful rule upon the earth. God speed the day. An yet in two little lines he makes a statement so full of wise suggestions that it presents food for reflection for the philosepher, historian, statesman, and even philanthrophist for many a day. "Sometimes," he says, "wrong so entrenches itself, that it can only be overthrown by armed battalions." Is the remedy worse than the disease? This is the point for reflection and discussion. Meanwhile the swords will draw and sabers clash as of old till the better day shall dawn. Let us, comrades, one and all, hold firm our grasp upon the memory of what we have known and lived, and blessing God for what he has led us through, wait bravely the final reveille. With grateful regards I remain, my dear friends.
Cordially yours, CLARA BARTON.

Rev. Lewis HALSEY of Farmerville, who is well known throughout the county, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Baptist Church at Webster, Monroe county.

HALSEY Seneca county loses its foremost poet and who, being an old veteran himself, is always called upon to furnish the poem for their regimental reunions. What is Seneca's loss is Monroe's gain.
A rather amusing but provoking incident happened to one of our young men Monday evening at one of our first boarding houses. He having been out attending an euchre party, and not arriving home till late, in going up to his room found his door locked and a light burning in the room. He immediately woke up the house and wanted to know what was up. They pounded on the door, but no response came, but by listening intently they could hear a faint snore. Finding they could not get in they broke the lock, and, lo, and behold! There in the bed, fast asleep, snoring at a 2:40 rate, was a six foot darkey, black as the ace of spades, and also drunk, or, as the boys say, "paralyzed." Officer McCUE was sent for, who took charge of him in a much soberer condition than when he woke up. It seems that the fellow is from Lyons and came that evening. Traveling around with gentlemen of the same color, he looked through the bottom of a glass too often and it is supposed wandered into the house and went to bed. No one in the house heard him come in. He was seen staggering around alone about two hours before he was found. He was well dressed with good clothes, etc. He at one time worked at the Towsley House about two years ago.
Henry REBSON is just recovering from a severe attack of illness.

When arrested he wore a pair of prison shoes and the police were convinced that he was a somewhat suspicious character. Chief CLEARY communicated with various authorities in other cities, but could learn nothing concerning his prisoner. This morning he was brought before Justice KEELER, who sentenced him to the penitentiary for four months. It is thought before he is released something will be learned of his past life.

SAD ACCIDENT AT COLDWATER
George Seelman Struck and Instantly Killed by a Locomotive
George SEELMAN of Coldwater station, west of the city, was killed by a freight train on the Buffalo branch of the Central road near his home some time last night. The engineer of the freight train, found a hat on the pilot and this led him to suspect an accident. An investigation was made and the mutilated body of SEELMAN found. Coroner SHARPE was notified and took charge of the remains.
The body was found by trackmen about 8 o'clock this morning lying between tracks 2 and 3. Deceased worked on the Brown street improvement, and was in the habit of walking home nights. Locomotive 605 passed through Coldwater at 8:12 o'clock last night and the train had arrived in Churchville when the hat was found on the pilot. As the hat of deceased was missing there is no doubt that this was the locomotive which killed him. Mr. SEELMAN was fifty years of age, and leaves a wife and eight children. He was an honest, sober and industrious man, and his sudden death is deeply regretted by relatives and friends.
