T. Baxter, a $1,600 clerk in the first who was an applicant for the position of chief of division in that bureau, has been reduced to a $1,400 clerkship. This change was made in connection with one other to make possible the appointment of a private secretary to the controller. Baxter, said Acting Secretary Batchellor to-day, was making astrong contest for a promotion, backed by some strong republican influence, and was s0 importunate that an investigation was had into his recordand it was then found that he had made the same kind of an effort for the same object during the last administration. This, said the Secretary, convinced him that he was what might be called a “neuter in politics,” and as the reduction of two men or the dismissal of one was neceseary, he decided that it was best to reduce him.

A Boom in the Oil Market. New York, July 23.—There were lively times in the petroleum market shortly before noon to-day, and before matters quieted down crude oil certificates had touched the high point this year and sales were made at @1 per barrel. The market had opened steadily at 951 and tradi: progressed quietly until the announcemen' was made of an advance in the price of refined of 5 points, That started a scare among the shorts, and when they tried to buy back the oil sold earlier in the day the: found, none for sale, and the price was rapidly forced up on small transactions, After it reached the dollar mark a reaction of two cents occurred, and after that the market became quiet. Th den advance, however, created much anxiety among the brokers who have sold oil for deliv- ery in August, as an impression now prevails that the shorts will be cornered. Some com- ment was caused by the fact that Parker's Land- ing crude oil sold ‘4 cent per gallon above the price for refined oil: > It Was Kitty Doane who Suicided. New Yorx, July 22—An evening paper states that Miss Kittie McCormick of Cleveland, Ohio, who was supposed to have committed suicide as ‘Kittie Doane” last week, is not connected in any way with the latter unfortunate. “ Notwithstanding the supposed identification of the Doane gil as Miss ‘McCormick by her cousin, Tom Reynolds of Yonkers,who said the descrip- ion of Kittie Doane tallied exactly with that of Kittie McCormick and told a tale of her run- ning away with Will Kibler, a sewing machine agent. A reporter found Miss McCormick to- day. She isthe wife of Wilson Kibler, who keeps a small shop on 3d avenue. The two were married at home and came here. Mrs. Kibler denies that her husband wasa married man and says she knows nothing at all of Kittie Doane.

MORALITY AND MORTALITY. Sharp Points from the Annual Report of Dr. Purvis of the Freedman’s Hospital. Dr. C. B. Purvis, the surgeon in charge of the Freedman’s hospital, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, states that during the past year there were admitted and treated in the hospital 2,279 patients. In the dispensary attached 2,317 were treated. He calls attention tothe large mortality among the patients, especially the colored pa- tients, who constitute a large proportion, CAUSE OF THE LARGE COLORED MORTALITY, He says that fully one-third of the deaths oc- cur within ten days after admission to the hos- pital, and he attributes this to the fact that these people are compelled to live in the most unhealthy portions oF the city. -They are ob- liged, the report states, to crowd small apartments in alleys owing to the usuri- ous rate of rent exacted. Thesealleys, he says, are filthy and many of them are not sewered. “Owing,” he adds, “to a strong, unreason- able and unchristian prejudice, these people cannot obtain comfortable homes upon paved streets. Not until there is a thorough and complete change in the laws regulating the erection of tenement houses will this mortality be lessened.” 100 PIECES OF CHINA SILKS, PLAIN, OF ALL COLORS; ALSO FIGURES; ALL MARKED VERY CHEAP. 50 PIECES OF BLACK LACE AND LACE NET- TING, ALL OF GOOD QUALITY, PRICES VERY Low 60 PIECES OF FRENCH SATINE AT OUR USUAL LOW.

In speaking of the ninety cases of alcoholism treated during the year, Dr. Purvis refers to the proposition to establish an inebriate asylum in this city, and he reiterates the opinion e: pressed in two pre ious reports that such an i stitution ought not be established. He says that he considers inebriety a crime, and as such should be punished, In all his aepereos he cannot recall a case of this kind where the patient desired to re- form, as with most persons when very sick he says they dre very penitent and Erepertal, which disappears with returning health. He is of the opinion that when a raon has been admitted to a hospital and treated for alcoholism, and has been thoroughly sobered and kept so for ohe or two months, that that person can remain so if he or she possesses the will or the desire. In this connection, although he says that it is not exactly germane to an annual report, he calls the attention of the secretary to the nu- merous DRINKING BROTHELS AND GAMBLING dens that have recently been established near the hospital. These new places he says, are the outgrowth of a tricky law passed by Lepage) Congress about eighteen months ago for- ‘Washington Stock Exchange. bidding pool selling in the cities of Following are to-day’s quotations at close of | Washington and Georgetown, He says that h \: remonstrated against the passage of the law, rnment bonds—U.8. 448, registered, 106% | it would result in dumping the dens of the two Sone coun i aye an ‘etepou’ | cities upon the county, and he urged that the Moy es aaked. ‘U.S. ds conen’Ted; | law should apply to the District, bid, 1283¢ asked.

C., , 5 ——_______THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.G. MONDAY, JULY 28,188 0, for all ora “CAMP ORDWAY.” CHRISTENING OF THE CAMP. ARRIVAL OF THE SOLDIER BOYS. Latest News From the Tent City at Fort Washington. ; ee Sergt. Joyce finger the stirring notes of the reveille rang out blem which smiled down upon Capt. ABd ‘ich ‘a8 he cried out: “Camp Ordway.” The cap ain had received no orders to name the camp, but he was in command and no one could prevent him from doing just as he thought fit, Every- body agreed with him as to the fitness of the name. No other man in the country would have worked as Gen. Ordway has to make the soldier boys of Washington pro their position among the militia of the United States. No other man would have annoyed and burdened himself with the thousand and one petty details which have been shouldered uncomp niningly by Gen. Ordway, No other man would have fought so persistently for favorable legislation against such opposition as has greeted Gen. Ordwa’ A GREAT DAY FOR THE X. G. To-day was a great day for the general and a great day for the District national guard. The landing at Fort Washington was a triumph of the most pronounced kind. It was 11:45 when the steamer Jane Mosely drew up at the wharf, A few minutes were consumed in making a landing, and when the gang plank was run out every man in camp was at the water’s edge ‘to receive their comrades. Quartermaster-Sergeant Howe of the Light battery was seated on his horse on a ridge over- looking the scefe, andas the plank went ashore he fired his revolver in theair. The signal was repeated by Sergt. Longley, who stood at the foot of the flagstaff. In an instant the men of the battery were in position, and as Gen, Ordway marched ashore, leading by the bridle his beautiful gray steed, the headquartere’ colors dipped, and in obedience to the com- mands of Lieut. Robbins, artillery officer of the day, a brigadier general’s salute was fired, The booming of the guns was for a time lost in the cheers which went out from a thousand throats, Gen. Ordway took off his helmet and smilingly nexnowindned the hearty and spontaneous com- pliment. He was a proud man and he had a right to be, His eyes were suspiciously moist and his responses to personal greetings were brief. The emotion was natural. He had or- ganjzed the National Guard of the District of Columbia; he had made a homogeneous whole of a number of factions; he had given the city of Washington a militia force inferior to none and to-day he led them into their first encamp- ment. ‘The camp baggage came down on the steamer John W. Thorreon about 11 o'clock this morn- ing, and with it came Col. W. G. Moore, Lieut, Col. Walton, Capt. Barksdale, Capt, A. W. Kel- ley, quartermaster; Quartermaster W. H. Myers of first company, third battalion, and Quartermaster H. C. Surguy of the vecond bat- talion, Men and teams were numerous, and it was not long ere the huge poles of company chests and the et cetera of camp were trans- ported to their proper places, SUNDAY NIGHT IN CAMP, It was very quiet in camp last night. Up in the cavalry quarters the silence was so com- plete that it might easily have been indicative of death, The artillerymen were tired, and they admitted it, but they were in fi ting con- dition when compared with their be-sabered and yellow-striped brethren, Lieut, Barbour moved around in a sprightly manner and gave everybody who didn't know any better the im- pression that a little ride like that was amatter of no consequence whatever, The only other cavalryman who was in high spirits was the sergeant who came down on the boat, He laughed heartily at the stories of discomfort, told y his comrades and entered so thoroughly into the spirit of the thing that unless he is very careful he will find himself telling his friends all about that awful time we had whon we marched down to Fort Washington. The ex- periences of the troop while on the road were very interesting and occasionally amusing. Once they came very near to being tragical—- when Private Milnor’s horse fell down a i5-foot embankment with him and then went off on an i magne roll of his own for another 30 feet. Neither the man nor the animal were serious]; injured, but both of them are deliberate of motion ta-day, When Mr. Milnor pulled him- self together he is said to have remarked: “Good deal of a down-grade, wasn’t it?” It was a straight drop and he had a very fortunate escape. “18 NUTHAH WAR BRUK OUT?” The country folks who saw the troop on the road did not, with a few exceptions, know what was going on. One old darkey held up his hands in astonishment as the cavalry trotted by. He stopped Quartermaster Ser- geant Fosberg, and in tones that betokened alarm said: ‘Foh God, cunnel, is '‘nuthah wah boang out? I ain't seed no callavery foh thutty ea.” "1 Three times did the troop halt to rest horses and riders, and each time was the interval filled in with eloquent longings for the pres- ence of a few others to share the discomforts of the trip. There wasa generally distributed sentiment of regret because Gen. onary, and his staff were not of the cavalcade. Lieut. Barbour was iggy aes of the fall turnout of his command, ty-two men were in cam and thirty-one of them came down astride at their charges, ‘TIRED ARTILLERY MEN. There were lots of tired men in the light bat- tery when they reached camp yesterday after- noon at 4, but they were all proud of their achievement, and re Yates declared that no better drivers could be found than those who had directed the footsteps of the battery horses. Some of the amateur Jehus were green in the business when they started, but they accumulated experienee very raidily, and before the wearisome journey came to an end they were woh gabe make up the duties of a driver.

They have put up tents and done a great deal of gen~ eral work. Their favorite recreation is to cease toiling fora few minutes and then to give three cheers for the adjutant, They are a unit on voting him ‘‘a daisy;” a large one, ‘tis true, but nevertheless a ‘‘daisy.” The detail, as a rule, worked earnestly and well. In the matter of tent-pitching the advantage was naturally with the Light Infantry boys and the old stagers of the Union Veteran corps; they knew how and they did a large proportion of the work. The others caught on soon and they have worked very harmoniously. VIGOROUS KICKING. There was a good deal of what might be termed vigorous “kicking” when the detail arrived here on Saturday morning and found that it had to put up about one hundred and seventy-five tents for the use of officers, bands- men and others who are not required by the regulations to pitch their own shelter, When the details were made the men understood that their duty would be to ee on = gg Ag incase property—light guard duty. is they were perfectly willing to do, but when they <liscov- ered what the orders were they whooped with both lun, Lieut. Loeffler reasoned with them in his usual magnetic manner, and as a result they accepted the situation and vied with the ind lous beaver for a record as hard workers. One or two have tried to shirk their share of responsibility, but the lieuten- ant's arguments were sufficient to arouse them without any recourse to the articles of war. THE DETAIL is composed of the following-named men: First battalion—Sergeant J. E. Payne, Corpo- ral Sutton, Privates Mines, Pritchard, Mc- Glatherly, W. 8. Lee. Second’ battalion—Corporal Winslow, Pri- yates Strobel, Stiles, Shackleford, Henry Kondrup, E. J.'B. O'Neill. Third battalion—Sergeant O’Hare, Privates Chambers, Gartrell, Bailey, Brennan, Jenkin. Fourth battalion, company A—Sergeants J, C. Swift and A. S. Odell, Privates W. B. Sabin, John Bowers, H. H. Dove. Company B—Cor- rol G. A. Leech, Privates T. F. Arthur and ). F. Hester. Fifth battalion—Sergeant J. C. Chilton, Privates W. F. Beaumont, J. H. Roach, W. T. Company D—Corporal Richey, J. W. Totten. W. H. Rose, Privates W, C. Soules and B. H, Streeks, Sixth battalion, company A—Privates W. S. Burnes, U. L. Bogan, C..A. Lucas. Company B—Privates E. M. Wallace and J. T. Simpson. The detail hopes that their services will be rewarded by an order from Gen. Ordway reliev- ing them from guard duty during the continu- ance of this camp, AN OLD SOLDIER. But of all the men to whom credit should properly be given, after Gen. Ordway, is Ser- geant Joyce. The sergeant is in charge of the fort and the reservation and has been invalu- able all the way through. His long army ser- vice has given him a thorough knowledge of the detail incidental to camps and camp life, and his experience has been handed out by wholesale for the benefit of 2 "drivers | tions, On the outside of their those who were so sorely in need of it, He has hired and directed laborers and supervised wherever his attention was needed. His mod- esty has kept him in the background all the time, but his usefulness has been continuous. Early in the morning and late at night he has been just where he was most needed, and he hasn't hurt the feelings of any one. ‘ihe uni- versal opinion is that Sergeant Joyce is a sol- dier and a gentleman, ’ TRE “CANTEEN.” It is barely possible that there are some few articles of commerce which are not on sale at the post ‘‘canteen,” but they have simply es} caped Sergeant H.

An annunciator right alongside of the marksman will show just where the bullet hits the target. “THE scoor.” The greatest amount of interest was taken in Tue Srar’s steam launch, which some of the Camp Ordway wits have already christened “The Scoop.” She was at the wharf at Fort Washington when the soldier boys arrived, and they were pleased to say many very compli- mentary things of Tae Srax and its mat ment, The enterprise of the paper was fully appreciated, although none of the results of the enterprise were as yet visible, ‘The Scoop” will be an important feature during the prosent week, for it will be the connecting link between Camp Ordway and the news-loving, Star-read. ing public, Each and every afternoon it will come from Camp Ordway bearing with ita Stan reporter and all the camp news. As “The Scoop” left Fort Washington this morning she was loudly cheered by hundreds of people who read the inscriptions which decor- ated her nettings fore and aft. Those in the bows read: “Always in the Lead!” “The News of the World!” On the, stern was: ®The Day's Doings in Washington,”“and “The News of the Camp, Fresh and Spi Depending over her rudder was that solid and indisputable state- ment when made in connection with Tar | Sran—“The Largest Local Circulation in the World.” i aaa Grimy men on slee joud-snorting gazed in astonishment at the swift little craft, and made mental resolves to buy un extra copy of Tre Stax to send away to a relative or friend; people on the wharves at Alexandria calied each other's attention to the inscriptions; trim-looking artillerymen in the Arsenal grounds applantiod the pro; of the launch, and everybody approved the plan which wili give Washington fresh camp news ahead of any other papers, “The Scoop” will be all that its name implies, QUICK WORK. As soon as the brigade reached camp there was work to do and it had to be done quickly, for two reasons: One was that Gen, Ordway said it must be done as hastily as possible, while the other one could be founa in the slow ap- proach of threatening clouds. Guns were stacked, knapsacks were thrown aside and coats peeled off. The preparatory movements were through in a little while, and almost as by magic a cow of hundred tents appeared where a few min- utes before there was nothing but a few boards, a roll of canvas, and odd rope- ends, Things moved very rapidly around commissary and quartermaster — gen- eral’s headquarters and the comp was & continuous scene of noisy action. A good many men made more noise than was necessary and as a rule did less than they would have done had they been quieter, If Minister and ex-Senator Palmer had been there he would have preached a sermon on what he calls the great national error—mistaking activity for usefulness, LUNCH IN CAMP, Then came lunch. It was a remarkable scene. Nearly a thousand men jwere in the meal sheds at one time. A minute before they entered the fort the tables themselves were oa picture; the long lines of dazzling white table linen | the myriad plates and the equally numerous cups, flanked by glittering knives and forks, all tempted appetite. A minute after the men ‘were seated and the scene was changed. There was rattling and din enough to stir the latent sensibilities of adeaf mute. It wasnotas pretty as the first impression, but it was very much more natural, WIVES, SWEETHEARTS AND SISTERS. Guards were posted as soon as camp was reached and everything was reduced to order at the earliest possible moment. Preparations for dress parade, which takes place at 6 o'clock’ were visible as soon as lunch was disposed of. Everybody was busy. There are friends who will be down to see the soldier boys to-night and to-morrow, and the sweet girls who this morning were left behind will be beard from very soon. Wives and sisters are being looked for already and the camp is now almost as neat as the proverbial new pin. There may be flies in the vicinity of Fort Washington—to be ex- act, there are—but there are no flies on Camp Ordway. —_—__. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Apporntep.—Miss Sallie N.
