Col. Bigelow said, in com with a Star reporter upon the subject of guard duty, that the manner in which guard duty is per- formed is one of the surest indications of the state of discipline and general efficiency of a command, Col. Bigelow said he meant to be- gin practical instruction with the day duties of guards and sentinels,and confine himself to that until the subject is mastered. The printed instructions will relate to day duty only. Be- fore the regular tical instruction com- mences the company ooeamanders should have at least one lesson or recitation in the orders that are to be distributed.

The instruction will not in- clude guard mounting, but will commence with the supposed arrival of the guard in front of the guard house, immediately after guard mounting. It will be assumed that there is no old guard and that each sumer exercise the guard will be regularly taken off. “Have you any practical object in view in this instruction?” asked Tue Srar reporter. “My object,” said Col. Bigelow, ‘is to pre- e the troops of the National Guard to per- abet guard duty as they may have occa- sion to in any emergency such as may arise in case of fire, disturbance, or a public ceremony where a line of sentinels would be required to keep the crowd back.” ‘ “Suppose,” asked the reporter, “the Na- tional guard goes into camp next summer, will the instructions they are about to receive fit them for guard duty while in camp?” “Not altogether,” said Col. Bigelow, “although they would by that time have re- ceived some instruction ‘in night duty. They would have to learn much in camp which can- not be taught in armories, Guard duty, more than any other,” continued Col. Bigelow, ‘‘re- uires the mental instruction of the soldier, ‘he manner of forming and marching a guard, the manner in which the sentinel bears him- self on post, although highly important, are less so than the sentinel’s comprehension of the resp vnsibilities resting upon him; in other words, of the spirit of his orders. It rests upon the officers of the national rd to thoroughly explain the spirit of guard duty to the men under their instruction.” At the end of each quarter a list of the men dishonorably discharged since the end of the last quarter is published in general orders, for the information of the whole guard, but he ee ally of enlisting officers, who are prohibited from enlisting a man who has been dishenor- ably discharged.

EXPERT TESTIMONY ABOUT A DEMIJOHN OF LIQUOR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN, Saturday afternoon, in the Police Court, Jonah Adams end Allen Colbert were on trial charged with the larceny of three gallons of sherry wine from the store of John Keefe on Christmas day. During the trial the question was raised as to the eontents of a demijohn, which was alleged to have been taken to the house of Wm. Harris, colored. Harris, in giv- ing his testimony, said he thought the liquor as & mixture of three parts of Catawba wine and one of whisky. It was suggested that such a concoction would taste like sherry, Lawyer Clogs volunteered the remark that he had fre- quently heard of blackberry and gin, but had never heard of whisky and Catawba. Another witness, who was invited to take a drink out of the demijohn, said that what he had was “straight whisky Policeman Trammell testified to the | arrest and alleged confession. Adams testified that he purchased the liquor he had in the | demijohn, and said that the officer beat him in the station tocompel him to make a confession, He said that he purchased the liquor in Fagan’s store on K street, and paid 60 cents for a half a gallon of it. The case was continued until Tuesday in order to give the defendants an opportunity to summon witnesses. Sere se a The Purchases of School Sites. FULL TEXT OF REPRESENTATIVE TOWNSHEND'S RESOLUTION.

Instructions in Guard Duty—Notes From | Hunting fora German Nobleman in Phil- rmories. adelphia—He Returns to this City. There is a strange and pathetic story at- tached to Detlef Olscewski, a German of noble birth, who was found Saturday morning by detectives in a cheap lodging house in Phila- delphia. Olscewski was born in Selesir, Prus- sia, October 8, 1862, of a noble family, Up to two years ago he was a student of agriculture at his home in Prussia, but becoming dissatis- fied sailed for this country, and landed in New York September 13, 1887. Before leaving home he received a letter of introduction from a friend to Mr. Wm. Burchard of 513 12th street northwest, this city. Making his way from uecessful ‘to last him, work soon thought he would more, but after a shot fe out, and Olsce' to Philadelphia, and hi absence from been lost.

BURCHARD SAYS. charitable was seen to-day by a Srar reporter, and while he admitted that the story was true he deplored the notoriety it had been given. He admitted that Olscewski was a man of noble birth, but wee ee that his birth signified nothing. He said that there were a hundred German noblemen in Washington to-day, and all of them in straightened circumstances. He said, further, that in the old country there are upward of two bundred thousand German no- blemen in poor circumstances. They are looked upon, he said, in about the same light that ex- congressmen’s sons are in this country, and the ordinary citizen is often held in higher regard than these poor noblemen are. Mrs, Burchard and Olscewski returned to this city yesterday, and the latter has obtained employment and will go to work to-day. id REET Columbia Athletic Club Prizes.

Michael Rezzillo, the Italian laborer, known as “Red-Nosed Mike,” who was arrested near Detective Linden, of the Pinkerton agency, his participation in the murder of Paymasters J.B, McClure and Hugh Flanigan, on the mountains, near Wilkesbarre, in October last. Linden refuses to make the confession pub- lic, but its substance has been learned. The murder was planned a month or more before its perpetration, There were only four in it. On the morning of the murder the four gath- ered at Miner’s Mills, and three of them started ont up the mountain road half am hour before by colored people in order, it is supposed, to get information in regard to the alleged act of incendiarism.

Policeman Redgrave appeared as complainant, and told of the manner in which Purcell had attempted to insult him on the car. “Redgrave, you're no good,” is how the accused greeted the ofticer when he entered the car, The officer said nothing to the young man, and then the latter said: “You tried to mash the doctor’s sister, but got left.” This he said in such a loud tone that the attention of the other passengers was attracted to the policeman. Purcell was required to leave col- lateral at the station. It was explained that Purcell was at one time a waiter at the resi- dence of a physician, and in his remarks re- ferred to an incident which he claimed took place at that time. The court imposed a fine of $5. — aes Narrow Escape of Children. THE CITY EDITOR OF THE PHILADELPHIA LEDGER LOSES HIS PROPERTY BUT SAVES A NUMBER OF LIVES AT A FIRE. From the Philadelphia Times, Jan. 6. The handsome residences of Robert McWade, city editor ot the Public Ledger, and J. H. Tighe, on Lancaster avenue, at Wayne station, were entirely destroyed by fire last night. The total loss is about $20,000. Nine small children narrowly escaped being burned in their beds. Mrs. Jones, a sister-in-law of Mr. Tighe, was driven crazy by the excitement and tobe taken out of the house by force. The fire broke out at half past 6 o'clock. . MeWade’s first thought was of his children and he darted up stairs and succeeded in getting them all out of doors safely. The houses of Mr. McWade and Mr. Tighe adjoin, When the flames were at their height, some one shouted that there was a woman at one of the windows in Mr. Tighe’s house. Mr. McWade ran up stairs through flame and smoke and found Mrs, Jones, with a babe in her arms, stan: in the center of a third-story room. told her to go down ptairs but she refused to go.

Lee may experience a similar change of heart. Leading democrats, it is said, want to see something done toward amending the election laws, and also desire to have passed some important measnres that failed at the regular session, Mr. Barbour, at the meeting on Thursday, will, itis said, ask to be relieved of the responsi- bilities of chairman of the state committee. - see A ..
