The Star’s Complete Arrange- ments for Furnishing News and Papers. - ——— The first encsmpment of the national guard of the District at Fort Washington, which be- gins to-day, is an event of more local import- ance than most folks believe. It is the first step toward the practical training of the city’s defenders, and is expected to bring about most beneficent results, Tux Star, appreciating the value of the camp, its importance to the people of Washington, and its general in- terest to all readers, early decided to give the fullest possible reports of camp happenings through its columns. There were two ends in view—one to give the news of the camp to the city people and the other to get the news of the city and the world to the guardsmen shut up on the Fort Washington reservation. There were no boats running to the city from the fort in the afternoon in time for the purposes of news gathering, news carrying and news printing. But Taz Stan is used to over- coming obstacles, and when it became neces- sary to provide other means of transporting “copy” from the camp to Taz Stan office the means were provided. ‘THE STAR BOAT. The river front was scoured until a steam launch of the right size was found and without delay she was chartered. The accompanying cut is an excellent representation, except that the craft is now decorated with painted wis- dom and truth in the shape of several Stan signs that almost hide her from view. boat, however, seemed to indicate that he had been cured by the Potomac breezes. PREPARING FOR ARRIVAL, There was some dissatisfaction among the aring for the arrival of the as the morning work was started murmurs that threatened to lead A few wise words of counsel from sich, however, soon brought the iblers around, and the eighty hands made work of the program laid out. Brigade headquar- ters was pretty nearly finished when Tue Star’s inspection went around at about noon, and before the sun had set it was all in shape for occupancy, with GEN. ORDWAY'S LARGE TENT PITCHED. It is of the same size as the hospital tent, 14x14 feet, with a fly in front for an awning. This tent faces a street 60 feet wide formed by two lines of officers tents facing inward. Di- rectly opposite the general's door is the flag staff. “Capt. Aldrich's tent floor is covered with matting and beneath his cot are # couple of well-filled boxes, from one of which comes the fragrance of lemons, HERE THEY COME. Shortly before 2 o'clock a faint horn sounded away off in the woods to the northeast of the ‘ari She is about 40 feet long, has 15 pret ache and imealled a 9-mile boat, Her engines wi be pushed to their limit to get the news to the printer aud to get Tue Srans, replete with bet le and other news, back to Fort Was! She will leave the fort ata Inte hour each day with Tue Sran’s emissary, who will occupy his trip up writing his notes into shape, and will start back again before Tux Stans are dry with a boat load of papers. 5 - The arrival of Tax Star boat will be daily awaited with eagerness by the soldier boys, who know where to find what they want. A Star route has been established in camp, with a regular Star agent incharge. This all means that the canvas city by the river side will be flooded with Stars at the earliest possible mo- ment, while Tax Star will contain each day a complete account of the doings in camp up to the latest hour possible, Sunday in Camp. The steamer Corcoran came like a benedic- tion to the soldier boys at Fort Washington yesterday morning. She was the link which connected them with the girls they had left behind them twenty-four hours previously and to whose coming they looked forward with de- hghtful anticipation. It was nearly the hour of noon when the boat drew up at the wharf and was saluted by a score of militiamen in all stages of dress and undress, They were a sun- burnt, tired-looking lot of warriors, for they had been hard at work pitching tents from shortly after daylight, but hope gleamed in | their eyes, and there were manifestations of | joyful anticipation visible in their features; they were evidently expecting the arrival of somebody or something. Two or three of them boarded the boat as soon as the gang plank was out, and while the passengers for Fort Wash- ington disembarked engaged in close conversa- tion with Capt. Blake. A minute or two later a deck-hand rolled a small keg down the plank to the wharf and before any one could have said ‘(Jack Robinson” it was seized by a couple of waiting soldiers and borne away in triumph, “‘Here’s the beer,” “Now we've got it,” were the cries, and the jubilation seemed really ex- cessive to the passengers on the boat who had had ample opportunity to indulge their bibulous propensities as frequently as their furnaces would permit. Then the ambassadors came off the boat looking eres mournful, They saida few works to the thirsty mob which surrounded the keg and then the silence was so large and profound that could it have been cut up in chunks for use in the sick rooms it would have been suffcient to supply all the city hospitals, IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE’s KEG. ‘The boys had toiled all the morning putting up the officers’ tent, and as an incentive and a reward they had been told that when the Cor- coran came down the officers would buy them a keg of beer. The coming of the Corcoran and the subsequent consultation with Capt. Blake revealed the fact that the boat had no more beer on board than would keep moist the clay of its own passengers, The keg which was rolled off belonged to Le Mour, the camp ca- terer. The sorrow of the br ggg ones was genuine and it lasted throughout the entire day. Stronger liquors were plentiful, but what the crowd wanted‘most was beer, A REAL CAVALRY SERGEANT. Perhaps twenty people, most of them rela- tives or friends of officers already in camp, got off the boat at the fort, but all eyes were cen- tered and all attention was riveted upon a ser- geant of cavalry who had conscientious scruples about erage, | his troop as it pounded over sandy and muddy Maryland roads in the hot sun, but who ‘Goughl hare was nothing im r in going down to camp by another THE EVENING STAR BOAT—THE and easier way.

Then came a cheer, softened and smothered by e and foilage, and in a few minutes two horsemen ceme into view urging their animals to a final spurt of — Close on their heels were others, until the road was filled with galloping forms in large, white hel- mets, making tracks toward the camp. Copa. ARRIVAL OF THE CAVALRY. i These were the cavalrymen, who had left the city at 8 o’clock in the morning and had strug- gled for seven hours with bad roads made worse by rain, untrained horses and a lack of experience in this sort of business, There were thirty-five weary, dirty, happy men. Weary of their long sojourn in the saddie, dirty from the dust and the mud that they al- ternately encountered, and happy to reach the camp at last. In a flash they had reached the ground and in another second every saddle was off and the horses were being led into the stables that lie behind the camp toward the river. THE CAVALRY CAMP. Within an hour the cavalry camp had been pitched according to thi manual and men wer | busy washing, putting their tents in order, hunting pumps, groom- ing horses, and com- aring lamenesses, ey hadcome through without accident be- yond the tumbling of a private, into ‘a ditch, sfrom whence he had been extricated with ifficulty. His horse was slightly bruised and lamed, but no bones were broken. The ar- LIEUT. BaRBouR. _ tillery company, the: reported, were about a mile or #0 behin and in a few minutes after the arrival of the cavalrymen.along came Capt, Yates of the bat- teries, with a couple of men. They had ridden ahead of the company to do what they could to make ready for the coming of the pilgrims, The captain said that the roads were horrible and that twice detours had to be made through the fields to avoid ravines across the path. No mishap had marred the journey, but he did not care for another such jaunt for a long time. AMONG THE CAVALRYMEN was Sergeant Major Peter Renney of the de- tachment of U.S. cavalry troops stationed at Fort Meyer, who has been bang begs comy this winter. He will remain in the camp, until Wednesday, when he shall have to accompany his troop to the encam tat Mt. Gretna, Pa. Ever and anon as the sun sank to his soft green bed in the Virginia hills the shrill. clear note of a bugle from the cavalry camp pierced to Seiler seaeee tant Nave eres cing 6 ac as a trum, practi is lines and his cals, or bl ww forth eome onder at the desire of Lieut, Barber, who commanded the detachment.

Se officers w acertain amount experience certain tol promised wonderful results in the matter of saving time and labor. The colonel assured him that he would be only too glad to receive pointers in the way of saving time on tent itching, and told him to go ahead. An hour ter two tents had gone and the officer and his men were struggling with the third. THE OTHER PLAN WAS BETTER. Then he acknowledged that perhaps the other plan was the better, and in a surprisingly short time the brown fields were dotted with canvas that showed a white spot on thé horizon visible up the river as far aa Alexandria. EVOLUTION OF GUARDSMEN. It is surprising to watch the evolution of the newly arrived guardsman into the camp habitue. He enters the reservation with his coat neatly buttoned, his cap straight on his head, his trousers immaculate, and a sly, modest look in his eyes that shows he is on foreign soil. day later he has discarded the coat, his cap replaced by a wide brim straw object., his trousers are turned up clear of his ankles, and his hands are thrust into the depths of his ockets with a grace that comes only from Femiliarity with one’s surroundin; “Inever used to think I was much of a sol- dier,” said one youngster yesterday afternoon as he Tounged on the wharf with half a dozen thers waiting for the passing of the Corcoran, ‘but now that I have got into camp I feel like a veteran,” all with an expression of the great- est sincerity. ADVANTAGE OF HELMETS. ‘The cavalry boys say that if they had not pro- cured helmets they woyld have been roasted to a fine turn by Sunday’s fierce sun on their march tocamp. As it was they resembled a crowd of light-hued Indians when they struck the reservation, Camp calls are beginning to be coined. Yesterday the favorite one was this query, yelled at the top of one voice, What are you going to eat?” while a chorus of lusty throats screamed back, ‘‘Dog.” In fact, canine flesh seems to stand first in the tastes of those who made way to the camp Saturday and Sun- day, judging from the vocal sounds given forth. A nice little pug was taken down on the morn- ing boat yesterday, and as the owner landed he was somewhat startled by half a dozen guards- men who stood at one side and gravely told each other that ‘he'll make meat for just about one meal,” ‘The long mess halis inside of the fort will be sure to be cool, for there is always a draft through them that is most refreshing after the intense heat of the shadeless enclosure, THE CAMP BARBER, ‘The Ethiopian hirsute artist who has estab- lished himself in one end of the post trader’s store is a linguist. Not only does he proclaim his ability to do “hair cutting” in large letters that are visible ten rods off, but he appeals to the feelings and for the custom of the wander- ing Teuton by a supplementary explanatory le- gend below—‘“harr schneiden.” OFF FOR THE TENTED FIELD. Twelve Hundred Brave Soldier Boys Start for Fort Washington. Twelve hundred militiamen arose early this morning and packed their knapsacks with goods enough to last them a week. Then they strap- ped on their leggings and buttoned up their coats and journeyed to their armories, From 9 o’cloek until 9:30 the streets were full of solid ranks ‘of soldiers moving toward the river, and at 10 the space infront of the steamer Moseley’s wharf was lined on either side with perspiring militiamen waiting to embark for their first annual encampment on the bluffs at Fort Wash- ington. ———— Gen. Uraway sat, in his neat blue uniform, on great white horse and gave orders for the loading of the steamer- His face wore a satisfied look after the hurry = work of four weeks of preparation, and as line afer line of men filed through the wharf- way his countenance re- Jaxed into a smile that betokened the flight of anxiety.

His horse was led aboard quietly, after one ‘unsuccessful effort, the gang piank was shoved off, the lines were cast off and the Moseley stream. The throng of folks who had filled the streets bidding their friends adieu rushed to the end and sides of the wharf and then be- = a noise that might we been heard at the camp. Nearly y man was on the si of the steamer nearest the wharf, and she keeled — considerably, so that her turning was performed with slow care. The farther CAPTATN ROSS. the floated out the louder the blue coats yelled, until the 1,200 throats on the boat and the 500 or more on shore sounded like a cata- ract or thunder storm. As the Moseley swung out the Corcoran passed her on her way down the river, and for a moment the noise was turned toward her, THE GIRL I LEFT BEUIND ME. “Good-bye, my lover, good-bye,” sang a dark gentleman on the hurricane deck toa dusky damsel on the wharf. Her voice was lost in the whirlwind, Then the steamer’s paddies were reversed, @ bel. sounded on the boat, and the District militia went gliding down the Potomac to camp,while the band played “The Girl [Left Behind Me,” and every man gave one last yell and brok« for shelter from the sun, The 12-mile trip down the river was a very pleasant one. The time was passed in cn- MAJ. C. A. FLEETWeop. joying the beautifnl scenery along the Poto- mac, singing, cracking jokes, and in talkit over the Rrospects of the coming weel in camp. Little knots of men ered in different parts of the boat and talked about the former encampments. They all agreed, however, that this, the first annual encampment of the national guard, was a red- letter occasion, and that it would prove the forerunner of many pleasant. instructive and successful encamp- ments, The national guard of the District is now a completed organ- | ization and every week sees improvement in i Under Gen.

MAJ. F.C. REVELLS. The ery of “no water” isa familiar one to the people living in elevated portions of the city, and the complaints that are stacked up in the Commissioners’ office make a big pile. These complaints, while they all receive the attention of Capt. Lusk, come to nothing, for it is al- most impossible to increase the pressure while so much water is being continually wasted. It has lately been brought to the attention of the water department that the several buildings and offices under the District government waste a large amount of water. To remedy this evil Capt. Lusk to-day addressed a letter to Major Raymond inclosing the following draft of a letter, which he requests be submitted to the Commissioners with the recommendation that it be issued: “The rapid increase in the consumption of ater coincident with the growth of the city renders it im le keep uy roper Bul ply to the high sections of the clip uring the ours of daylight. In their efforts to prevent public ineonvenience as far as possible the Commissioners veuture to request you to keep down the use of Potomac water in your depart- ment to what is actually needed for mechanical and sanitary purposes. It is especially sug- ested that fountains be not allowed to ran or ose to play between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m, ——— The Death Record.

A St. Panl special to the New York World says: Dennis O'Halloran, father of Agnes O'Halloran, the St. Paul girl who eloped from Paris, June 18, with George Hitchcock, a New York artist, as previously told im special cables to the World, arrived home to-day, sccom- panied by his eldest daughter, Mary, He met both daughters in New York on their return from abroad, but Agnes. on account of the no- toriety she had attained through her escapade, remained in the cast to visit friends until the Scandal has ceased to be discussed. The story of the Hitchcock-O'Halloram episode, as related by Mr. and Miss O'Halloran, is decidedly interesting, and it would appear that Agnes, instead of being a iy to the elopement, was the victim of an on, and that Hitchcock is little less than a maniac, The narrative is as follows: The Misses O'Halloran returned from their tour of Italy Juve 17. The next day was de- voted to pre) tion for the return home, the oldest sister having decided that the younger was to return with her to America, It was learned that the *‘Salon” was to close in a few days, and Miss O'Halloran and a friend went to see the exhibition, leaving Agnes at home to finish some correspondence, The work was finished, and, as the post office ‘was only a block distant, she went in house at- tire to post her letters. Returning she met Hitchcock, who invited her to go and see some ictures in a private gallery, to which she o! jected on the plea that she was not in a sn’ able attire. He insisted that they were not like- ly to meet many people, and, as she was going home so soon, there would be no better oppor- tunity. Having on other occasions accepted similar invitations, she saw mo reason to decline this one. As the drive extended juto a strange district she demanded an explanation and was informed that they were going to Chantilly. Hitchcock told ‘her he long had loved her and that he was now going to make her his own forever; that if he could not have her in life he would in death, for if she made any outcry or resisted he would send a bullet through her brain and then shoot himself, The frightened girl fainted, regaining con- sciousness late at night in a strange hotel. She again begged to be taken to her sister. Hiteh- cock said it was too late, as telegrams had been sent his wife, her sister and the correspondents of New York papers announcing that she had eloped with him. Every paper in America would have the story in the morning, be said, and she could never return to America, as she would be discarded by her family and friends, He was now the only person in the world who cared for her. Every time she attempted an outcry she was met with the revolver and the assertion that they should never be separated, as he was determined to kill her first and then himself. Mary O'Halloran learned of the whereabouts of the pair, and when the latter went to Chan- tilly she found the hotel, into which she forced an entrance, and was just in time to see Hiteh- cock and her sister enter a room. She rushed through the door to Agnes, who had fainte begging Hitchcock to allow ber sister to de) He was furious, and threatened to shoot both sisters if the elder did not depart at once and return to Paris. Early Monday she sought legai advice, and was informed that nothing could be done unless Mrs. Hitcheock would swear outa warrant for her husband. This | Mra. Hitchcock refused to do, and Miss O’Hal- loran, helpless and almost alone in her efforts to rescue her sister, returned to Chantilly, but Hitchcock and his victim were gone. Dr. McDonald of St. Paul, who was in Paris, then came to the rescue. He traced Hitchcock and the girl to Bree’s hotel, on the Island of Jersey. The chief of police was sought, but no help could be obtained, nized by the law had been committed. ne chief, | however, advised that the mayor be seen, as he was also a magistrate and might suggest some method for the rescue. The mayor asserted that there was no legal redress, but being a case where manhood might for once override law he would go outside his duties and issue a citation commanding the presence of the ab- ducted young woman, and Hitchcock might | also appear it he desired, A constable served the citation upon the girl and she was produced in court in # semi-cop- | scious condition, A stormy scene ensued, Hitchcock at first defied the mayor, claiming he had no authority. The mayor told him thi he knew one thing, that, law or no law, d fenseless and injured women were. prote within his jurisdiction, and ordered that, for the night at least, 8 O'Halloran must have charge of her younger sister. The two ladies were escorted to their hotel and arrangements were made for their departure by the 6 o'clock steamer to Southamp ng the whole night Hitchcock paced the sidewalk beneath the windows of the ladies’ room, and was there ten minutes before the rival of the carriage. Mr. MacDonald alone can tell what argument inf! d him to leave his lonely beat, but he was certainly not there to do the expected shooting whon the ladies started away. He, however, followed to South- ampton, but the ladies were so efficiently pro- tected that he kept a respectful distance, and the two frightened females were put aboard @ steamer for America, which arrived in New York last Tuesday, soe Emperor William’s Cold-bloodedness. Berlin Correspondence New York Tribune. Emperor William, who is naturally of an ex- citable and nervous temperament, never loses an opportunity of schooling himself to prevent any display of feeling. A few nights ago he gave a most astonishing exhibition of absolute self-control, and even cold-bloodedness. During the state performance at the royal opera, in honor of the marriage of the empress’ sister to Prince Frederick Leopold, the dress of the premiere dansvese caught fire fro: in the , and in a moment she wai from hea great presence of mind, the principal basso, who was standing near by, draped in Roman toga and waiting to “go on,” dashed her to the ground, and, tearing the toga from his shoulders, enveloped her in its capacious folds, ‘thereby extinguishing the flames. She was, however, 80 badly burned that during three days her life was Sor pe | of, and, as it is, the poor girl wiil be disfigured for life. Her rescuer was also badly burned about the hands, arms and face.
