CROWN POINT, Ind.. Aug. 30
The Ninety-ninth Indiana Volunteers of the civil war are holding their annual reunion in this city, and will continue until tomorrow evening. Delegations from all points have arrived on all trains. To-night they were entertained at the Central Music Hall with patriotic exercises and the soldier boys who fought at Santiago were not forgotten by the old timers, for they cheered them to an echo. Rev. D. R. Lucas, of Indianapolis, addressed the soldiers and brought to memory many incidents that occurred In 1863.
