PRICE TWO CENTS wr'/A-' ' * ? * i irr'? ;?***? ...: MANY THOUSAND" VETERANS THERE Blue and the Gray Are Talk ing the War over Now on Famous Battlefield. SWAPPING ST O R I E S Management of Celebration Prepares Tents for Many Thousand More. OETTYSBHTRG, Pa., June 30? Twenty-five thousand veterans in Blue and Gray, the biggest army of its kind that has been gathered together in fifty years, walked today on the field of Gettysburg to the call of revulsion and the warlike battle of pots and pans in a score of mess tents. Veterans who sat about campfires until late at night were up long before the sun climbed over the hills of the Blue Ridge. Before the electric lights of this modern camp are turned out to make for the sun the veterans were singing the songs of war time and wide streets of the tented city echoed with the kylights of the Johnny Reb and the hoarser yells of his Yankee brother of the North. The regular army men in charge of the camp expected 15,000 veterans to come into Gettysburg today and by tonight they will be prepared to tent and mess more than 40,000 men without hitch or delay. There was no set program today and the veterans were left free to look up all friends and all enemies, swap stories of 1863 and enjoy themselves in any way they saw fit. Just as soon as the rations of baron and eggs and coffee, fruit in season, fresh bread and butter were disposed of in the way all good soldiers dispose of them, the real inspection of the battlefield and the retelling of the story of Gettysburg began with all the pointed criticism that the private soldier knows so well how to make. I ain't seen a Reb yet who didn't charge - Round Top and take it all by himself," said a lanky southerner as he wandered into quarters of the Pennsylvania contingent. "No; and I ain't seen a Yankee who didn't break up Pickett's charge by his own self," said a smiling Pennsylvanian as they shook hands. The only set event today was the joint reception by the survivors of General Buford's cavalry and the southerners of General Wheeler's cavalry to the citizens of Gettysburg. It was Buford who discovered the Confederates at Gettysburg on the morning of July 1 fifty years ago and the pickets who first saw the Scouts of Lee swinging up the Chambersburg pike and fired the first shot of the greatest battle of the Civil war. It was Buford who stubbornly fought the advance of General Heath's division of the Third Confederate Corps on the July morning until General Reynolds arrived and took command and Wheeler's men helped to make the joint affair a warm one. Relatives of General Meade, General Longstreet, General Pickett and General Hill arrived today and were given quarters in the town. Col. J. M. Schoonmaker, chairman of the Pennsylvania commission, announced that thirty-five governors had accepted invitations to be present sometime during the week. Brigadier General Hunter Liggett assumed command of the veteran camp today and Major Normoyle, of the quartermaster's court, who has been working pretty nearly twenty years, said that the men would be glad to have the opportunity to make the joint affair a warm one. Three hours each day for the last two weeks, gave up the reins of office. General Liggett appointed as his Adjutants Lieutenant Simon B. Buckner, son of the Confederate general. WASHINGTON? June 30?

The company wore John W. Brown, a Socialist speaker, K. H. Kintzer and another man whose identity has not been learned by the Telegraph. The bullet entered the back of the arm just below the elbow and came out at the front just above the wrist. The bone was said to be shattered. Jordan was taken to a hospital. Just where the bullet came from is not known. It appeared to have come from a westerly direction and as it is what is called a Maxim silencer, there was no noise from firing. The police are making a thorough investigation of the case but so far they have not been able to identify the one who fired the shot. By a Street Car as He Starts Across Track But Not Badly Injured. Richard Huffman, an aged Water street trucker, was hit by a Bridgeport street car about 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon in front of the store of the Palace Furniture and Piano Company at West Main street but not seriously injured. The aged man is very deaf. He was almost across the track but he turned and walked down and off the track and then started across again. The car was running slowly when it struck him and it did not move more than five feet after that until it came to a standstill. Fortunately the man rolled off the track when struck.
