At six-thirty, the boys had reassembled at the courthouse, where the meeting was called to order by the election of Gen. T. F. Galla- gher as chairman, Colonel Jackson and Cap- tain Louden vice presidents, and Col. R. Lit- singer and Maj. R. M. Birkman, secretaries. Then the reunion services proper were gone through with, which consisted first-Oration of the day, by Capt. George W. Fleeger. This was truly a grand, noble, patriotic and flowery outburst of a gallant soldier, recounting the scenes and actions of the days agone, when the dark clouds of rebellion, blood and car- nage were upon us. Captain Fleeger ac- quited himself nobly in this effort, and was continually interrupted with storms of ap- plause.

History of the 11th Reserves, Col. Robert McCoy. As the hour fixed for banqueting had now almost approached, Colonel McCoy was compelled to pass by page after page of his history, which called forth a motion to have the same published for the benefit of the survivors of the 11th, which was unan- imously carried. This, we understand, will be done in a very short space of time.

journed, and the procession was again formed in front of the courthouse, when, headed by the Altoona city band, they wended their way to the normal school, where the banquet was prepared for them by the ladies of Indiana.

The scene on reaching the normal grounds was really a beautiful one. Chinese lanterns lit up the long walks from the entrance gate fronting Second street to the steps of the building, and as the wind swayed the varie- gated lamps to and fro the whole aspect was one of enchantment, and gave token of the good cheer within.

When the doors of the spacious dining room of the normal school were thrown open, what a sight greeted the eyes of the gallant boys! The many gas jets, sparkling Chinese lights everywhere, handsome festoons drop- ping down in beautiful confusion over the well filled tables, flags, the names of all the engagements of importance which the regi- ment participated in placed along the walls, bouquets, large ones, on all the tables and charming ladies to attend the wants of the hungry humanity gathered there.

Indeed, the normal dining hall presented an appearance of enchantment on this mem- orable evening of the first reunion to the 11th Reserves, and gazing around upon everything, one recalled to mind all the fairy tales and places of enchantment read of in early child- hood.

The banquet set by the fair ladies of Indiana was superb, and they are certainly deserving of all praise for the manner they got up and managed this affair. We had in- tended printing the menu, but when we came to putting it together, we found we would have to take up the space of about a column alone, in this line. We will only say, there- fore, that everything necessary to satisfy the wants of the inner man was there-not for- getting E. E. Allen's box of genuine hard- tack, which was generously distributed all around the different tables. The ladies vied with each other in their attentions to the old soldiers and visiting comrades, and we will just here insert a remark we heard let drop from the lips of an old battle-scarred veteran -"that they had the darndest (the old sol- diers never-well, hardly ever swear, you know), finest, good looking and best hearted set of ladies in Indiana that he had ever seen or ran across." And "them's our sentiments, too," as the boys say.

After all had partaken heartily of the royal Then Colonel Danks favored the boys, after feast, the finishing point of the reunion cere-

monies was gone through with by the follow- ing toasts being proposed and answered in the following order :

"Our Old Regiment"-Responded to by Col. S. M. Jackson, of Apollo, in a few well chosen and patriotic remarks.

"Our Regiment's Friends"-Responded to by Sheriff J. R. Smith, very feelingly and appropriately.

"The Pennsylvania Reserves"-Rev. J. little omissions, or think they were not hon- Day Brownlee, of the Stlı Reserves, responded to this. Well, you all know the gentleman, and can form an idea of what he had to say, and he said it so nicely and feelingly, too.

Then Rev. Col. Danks, being vociferously called upon, recited the "Superiority of the Blue," and sang that glorious old song, "Glory Hallelujah," the audience all join- ing in the chorus.

"Our Educational Institutions, and espec- ially the Normal School at Indiana"-Dr. French, of the normal. The Doctor made an elegant response, and was handsomely ap- plauded on his conclusion.

"Our Dead Comrades"-Dirge, by the Altoona City Band.

"The Ministry of Peace"-Rev. Theo. Hen- derson, of Brookville. This was a very fine effort, and the speaker was greeted with great applause.

The Press"-Responded to by M. J. Shan- non.

"Our Comrades of the Army of the Poto- mac"-Col. Chill Hazzard. This was the gem of the evening-brimful of whit, spice and story. The colonel made several "happy hits," and was roundly applauded when he concluded.

"To the ladies"-Response by Col. Robert McCoy. The Colonel paid a handsome tribute to the female sex, and concluded neatly by giving the ladies who were instrumental in getting up the banquet, and so handsomely entertaining the boys of the 11th, a very nice "send off."

Then the Altoona City Band favored the audience with another choice selection, and the first reunion of the 11th Pennsylvania Reserves was concluded.

This reunion will long be talked of in In- diana and immediate vicinity, and that our good people here will always cherish kind remembrances of the gallant old 11th Regi- ment, and the 25th of September, 1879, the boys may be sure to count upon.

mittee and our ladies, worked like beavers to make this reunion a success, which it was in every particular. Any one acquainted with the patriotism, spirit, enterprise and good will of the ladies of our place knows that whatever they undertake proves successful, and in this affair they added new laurels to their already famous endeavors.

Those who would cavil or find fault at any ored in an especial manner more than anyone else, considering the arduous task devolving upon all of them in an affair of this kind, and the consequent hurry and bustle and worry of the committees, are not worthy of the name of good citizens. It was impossible to entertain everyone, to extend invitations to all, and the good sense of our people under- stands all this.

We think, on the whole, Indiana can be proud of her first reunion, and we know the old vets. say it was boss, and that is all we care to know, so they were pleased.

That God, in His infinite mercy, may bless us all, unite us more closely together in peace and unity, and ever keep alive the fire of patriotism and love of country in us, is the heartfelt prayer of the editor of the Blade.

SPANISH AMERICAN WAR

5th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer In- fantry .- Pursuant to General Orders No. 7, A. G. O., dated April 25, 1898, the 5th Regi- ment Infantry, N. G. P., on April 27, 1898, left the respective home stations and pro- ceeded by rail to Mount Gretna, Pa., arriving early on the morning of April 28th, being the first infantry organization in the division to reach the point of mobilization. The total strength of the regiment when it reported for duty was thirty-seven officers and 483 enlisted men, a total of 520.

On May 11, 1898, the regiment was mus- tered into the service of the United States

prised thirty-seven officers and 604 enlisted men. Pursuant to telegraphic orders from the war department the regiment broke camp at Mount Gretna on the morning of May 17, 1898, and at twelve-thirty P. M. started by rail for Chickamauga Park, Ga., on the after- noon of May 19th at five P. M. bivouacked for the night on Snodgrass Hill, and on the morn- ing of May 20th marched three miles and went into camp along the Alexander Bridge road. The regiment was assigned to the 1st Brigade, 3d Division, 1st Army Corps. On June 20th Majs. John P. Kennedy and Rob- ert C. MeNamara were detailed to recruit the companies of their respective battalions to 106 men, the full complement, being readily secured and all the recruits having reported

Orders were received on June 29, 1898, of 106 each. The work of recruiting and mus- tering the additional battalion was placed in charge of Capt. Hugh S. Taylor, Company B. Within three weeks all the companies had been mustered in, and had reported for duty at Camp George H. Thomas. Company I was recruited at Somerset ; Company K at Wells- boro; Company L at Clearfield, and Company M at Gettysburg. Lieut. Col. Rufus C. Elder was placed in command of the 1st Battalion; Maj. John P. Kennedy, formerly of the 1st Battalion, was assigned to the command of the 2d Battalion, and Maj. Robert C. Mc- Namara, formerly of the 2d Battalion, to command of the 3d. On August 12, 1898, the regiment moved about a half mile nearer Battlefield Station, and escaped along the Brotherton road. Here there was good drain- age and high ground. On the afternoon of the 22d, the regiment left Rossville and trav- eled by rail to Camp Hamilton, near Lexing- ton, Ky., a distance of two hundred and fifty miles, the first battalion reaching its destina- tion on the 23d of August, and the other bat- talions on the 24th. The camp at Lexington was all that could be desired for health or beautiful surroundings.

On September 17, 1898, the regiment was granted a thirty days' furlough, and each company was directed to-proceed to its home station. The headquarters of the regiment were established in Altoona, Pa. After the expiration of the furlough, ten days were given for muster out, and this time was after- wards increased an additional twenty days to give the regiment an opportunity to par-

not engaged having been detained on account of smallpox, and were not allowed to proceed with the regiment. These were assigned to duty as train guard, and an interesting in- cident of train guard work was related by the survivors. At El Hoya Pass (probably the same as Paso de Ovejos) they were attacked by a strong force of Mexicans, and detached companies were ordered on skirmish line, driving the Mexicans five miles. It so hap- pened that Company B, 1st Regiment, Com- pany B, 2d Regiment, Company B, Dragoons, were all in the chase, and it was exceeding

In the affray at Contreras the stronghold could not be reached without exposure to a destructive fire, except by a circuitous route up a ravine through chaparral and cactus; through this they went, often creeping to prevent their clothes being torn off by sharp thorns. Divested of all except their clothes and guns, they silently and cautiously crept through this supposed impassable approach, taking the garrison by surprise. It would seem that the Mexicans were surprised at all points, for instead of an enemy menacing their front at daylight, they too late discov- ered that the Americans had built a wagon road around the supposed impassable heights of Cerro Gordo. It was a night of terror pre- paring for the assault, but the battle of the morning lasted but seventeen minutes.

This regiment also participated in the ter- rible storming of the fortress at Chapultepec, and taking of the City of Mexico.

Several Indiana county men lost their lives during the Mexican war. Daniel Kuhns was killed at the gates of the City of Mexico, and James Kelley, William Matthews, and Mathias Palmer died there. Hugh J. Brady enlisted when only seventeen years old, and Pliny Kelly, a young and slender man, was refused twice, and going to Pittsburg got ac- cepted by the Duquesne Grays, and stood the service much better than stouter looking men ; in the war of 1861 to 1865 he enlisted again, in California. William Campbell came home worn down, and lived but a short time.
