School Cadets in THEY GIVE AN EXHIBITION BATTALION DRILL—SATUR- DAY'S RIFLE MATCH—NOTES FROM THE CAMP—THE GATLING-GUN CONTEST, ETO. Saturday afternoon the battalion of Washington High School Cadets appeared on the drill ground, and gave a drill, which wound up the performances of the day, as the rain, that began falling while the Cadets were drilling, scattered the soldiers as- sembled for dress parade. The drill was one of the finest exhibitions of the week, and was the preci- son of movement of the boys, The marching, wheeling, loading and firing, won high commenda- tion forthe boys. ‘The battalion was organized during the win- ter of 1883, Au CO It comprised two companies—a total of ninety men, un- der command of Capt. Alfred Smith. Since then it has increased in num- bers and developed in proficiency of drill, com- manded successively by Majors Sholes, Sohon,and La Fetra, until it now presents ‘a front of our trained companies, with drum corps, under Maj. Andrew Stewart. ‘The Dattalion numbers 169 members, ‘The uniform of the privates and non- commisstoned officers consists of navy blue broadcloth coat and trou. =O, cers, with trimmings of > light blue; cap, with gilt cord and monogram “H.

It was a match between a section of Batvery B, of the Ohio State Gt commanded by Lieut. Elwood, and a section of Battery A, of the Loulsville Legion, Kentucky State Guard, commanded by Lieut. Mansir. ‘The Cincinnati Boys had the advantage of having their own gun, a Gatling of the very latest pat- tern, which they had brought with them. The Louisville boys had to fre the gun ot thelr oppo. nents, a weapon they had never seen until they appeared on the ground to shoot. The judges Were Capt, Lancaster and Lteuts, Randolph and Chase, of the 3d artillery, and these gentlemen felt an unusual of interest in the match, ‘because it was ‘a test of the improved Gat- sSording to thé terms the to begin Cur was ai 1 otluck, but owing tora delay. fh sending the omnibuses ‘to the camp for the men i was half- tone before they reached the Arsenal grounds. ides the judges there were twenty or thirty Army officers present, all anxious to see how the Gatling would work.” It was eaten ee a eae al obo shots at 500 yards: THE FIRING. ‘The gun was promptly placed in position at the 1,000-yard range, and was loaded for the Cincin- ‘the drill camp was used and some of the had been reloaded. ‘The gun was sighted ‘the word of command the the firing began at the rate of abo.t 100 a minute.

For the latter a new set of skirmishers was put out. When the last round was fired the entire party hastened down to the targets to see the effects of the shots. There was special inter- est manifested in the effect mies the skirmishers, as one of the chief merits cl: ed for the gatling gun ts that it will mow down skirmish lines. On the 500-yard range the artillerymen were it~ ted to use What is known as the oscillator of the gun. By its use the muzzle of the gun is rapidly moved (rom rigs, to left while firing, so as to scat- ter the shots all along a line of men.’ THE SCORES, bs ‘When the targets were brought out it was found ‘that at the 1,000 yard range the Cincinnati section had made 263 hits on their target while the Louis- ville boys had only put 167 holes in their target. At the 500 yard range the Cincinnatis put 18 lets through the Standing figures and § through ‘the kneeling figut ‘hile the Louisvilles marked only 4 of their Standi ing and 6 of their kneeling figures. ‘The result was a disappointment to the Army officers, but Lieut.

From the Brooklyn Eagle. The discovery that three Uttle children, resid- ing with their father, Frederick Engels, at Pear- Salls, L. L, were heir to $92,000 through the death of their grandfather in a Connecticut town, carries with it a somewhat interesting story, and there is no little curiosity among lawyers to know just how Counselors Geo. A. Mott and Wm. W. Gillen, of Jamaica, made the important discovery and got possession of the money. From the papers in the case 1t is learned that Col, Rob't Staf- ford, a cotton merchant on Cumberland Islahd, Ga, died in New London sud- denly ’in thé year 1879. Among his effects was found a will which gave to friends legacies amounting to$20,000. The balance of ail his prop- erty north of the Ohio River he divided into four equal parts, giving one-fourth to his daughter ‘Mary and placing the remainihg three-fourths in the hands Of trustees for the benefit of his daugh- ters, Ellen, Cora, and Medora. Allof the testator’s estate south of the Ohio river was distributed ac- cording to the intestate laws of the State of Georgia. ‘There was, however, a legal contro- versy as to whether or not the ‘colonel’s should pass to his heirs under the laws of i or the will be administered according >to the laws of Connecticut, which resulted in the passage of a special law by the legislature of the®tate empow- coin he trustees to administer all of the estate north of the Ohio river s0 as to give effect to the Ellen 18 was one of the daughters whose share #@ the estate was held in trust. In the course of time this lady married Frederick Wm. Engels, who was named after the crown prince of Germany and upon whom Emperor William be- stowed the decoration of the white iron cross for rallant conduct as an officer in the Franco- ssian War. At the time of the nuptials Mr. Engels was residing at Rockville Center, L. L, and he ‘took his bride there. The lady died recently, Jeaving three infant children, and Surrogate Weller appointed Mr. Engels their general guar- He had no definite knowledge as to his children’s interest in the Stafford es- tate, as he had never inquired into his Wire's affairs, though aware she had an income of herown. A desire to have his children inherit thelr mother’s estate led Mr. Engels to retain Counselor Mott, who called into requisition the services of Mr. Gillen, an expert in intestate mat- ters, and before long they had unraveled the seem- ing ‘mystery and saw their way clear to obtaining possession of the trust estaie. A few days ago the wyers and Mr. Engels made a, pligrimage to Connecticut and, obtaining from the trustees of the Stafford estate $92,000, brought the money to New York and deposited it with the American ‘Trust Co. for the benefit of the Engels children, te No Imperialism in America.

Sat~ urday morning opened cold and raw. A drizzling rain, which continued well into the forenoon, ad- ded to the general discomfort. It was like a No vember day. Everybody wore his heaviest wraps, ‘and the more clothing one put on the more com- fortableone felt. Some of the men, whose fishing zeal outran their discretion, went out early, but Teturned a few hours later with blue noses and fingers stiff with cold from handling the rod. ‘The President came over from his cabin soon after 8 o'clock in the morning With Mrs. Cleveland, each Wearing a suit of corduroy. ‘The President's short sack coat over a gray flannel shirt gave him @ very sportsmanlike appearance. Mrs. Cleve- land’s costume was a close-fitting one, very becom- ing and complete, with asailor hat. Col. and Mi Lamont joined the President and his wife at break- fast, which was eaten in the public dining-room at the Saranac Inn. At 11 o'clock Dave Cronk, the guide, got out the President’s forty-five pound Pine Boat, built by him for the President's use, and, With the President, went off down the lake. Col.’ Lamont, also accompanied by a guide, fol- lowed in another boat. Both boats returned three hours later. The President and his secretary found the wind unfavorable, and did not try very hard to catch anything. At all events, they did not get any fish. Another tripon the lake was made in the afternoon with no betier results. There was a brilliant sunset, with prospects of fine weather Sund: and the fine weather came according to promise, the sun rising yesterday in @ sky obscured only by fleecy clouds that rested Just at the tops of the most distant mountain There were few early risers at the Saranac inn, The President’s party breakfasted at 10 o'clock, the President and his secretary appearing im the’ camping costumes they wore Saturdi Mrs. Cleveland wore a tailor-made suit of black and a cardinal felt hat, about wiiich a quantity of white mull was twist Mrs. Laimont’s dress was @ close-fitting one of gray, and she wore a gray felt hat with @ blue band. ‘The President strolled about the hotel, chatted with the guests, and rested quietly at his cottage until 2 o'clock, when be and his party joined the other guests in the general -room, ahere were no excursions Or fishing expeditions.

During the past week 12,000 copies of a secret circular and the revised constitution and laws governing the formation of national trade assem- bifes have been sent out to all the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor from the general head- quarters of the order in Philadelphia, for approval. Some of the changes in the constitution, as suggested by the committee on law, are of the highest importance. The committee to do this work was appointed by the general assembly at Richmond last October, and consists of General Master Workman Powderly, with Messrs. Hayes, C. Carlton, McGuire, Barry, Bailey, and Alesworth of the general executive board, and John Devlin, of Detroit, John Homes, of Worcester, D. J. Haggerty, of Brooklyn, and Heury Abrams, of Boston. ‘Among the most important changes recom- mended in the revised constituti are: Those debat Tumsellers from ety 2 in the order ronibit local assembites to have any Soctal gatherings of picnics where liquors is sold on penalty of expuision; abolishing the ten- minute discussions on labor questions at assem- bly es and substituting for tbem the rule requiring the convention of a monthly meeting for the sole consideration of educational topics; tablishing the rule juiring every local’ as- sembly to ovtain pe ion of the district assem- Diy to which it bel Defore it can inaugurate a strike; and, lastly, those restricting the freedom With which members of the order have hitherto been able to attack or denounce their higher officers and members of the general execulive The new law governing the formation of na- tonal trade assemblies provides that local as- sembiles, Which are now attached to a district as- sembly of a mixed nature, and which desire to form a national trade district by themselves, must first obtain permission of their district, and then forward their application to the general secretary, who will lay the matter before all the local as- semblies of that craft in the country. This regula- tion, it is thought, 1s designed to increase the power of the general executive board and give them greater jurisdiction than heretofore in de- termining whether certain crafts shall be allowed. to form national trade assembiles of their own, ‘It is also declared by many knights in Ubis city Uhat by these means the tect board are inerely attempting to quiet the clamors of certain trades who desire to form national assemblies, While at the same time to retain their controlling grasp over those national assemblies when formed. The law concerning strikes meets with considerable approbation, but that one touching the temper- ance question is denounced by the German eie- ment in ungualified language. The circular accompanying the constitution and laWs contains instructions to the local assemblies to take a vote upon the two documents and re- ‘Ube result to the general sec: Charies |.

J., Saturday, was for the purpose of showing what the mental con- dition of Katie Anderson was at the time she made the declaration that Barclay Peak shot her. These witnesses were called at the suggestion of Judge Parker, who said the court first wished to be made uainted with all the evidence relative to the girl's state of mind before deciding upon the ad- missibility of her story of the shooting.
