A.QUIET NIGHT IN CAMP. ORDWAY. GOOD WORK OF THE SOLDIERS. Night Scenes and Incidents st Fort ‘Washington—Passing the Sen- tinels—Visitors in Camp. —o—— Braxce Orrice Evexrxe Stan, Camp Onpway, Font Wasninoton, Mo., July 24, 1889. Life in camp has come to be a pretty well regulated. matter, and to-day, the third in the history of Camp Ordway, promises to strengthen that spirit of discipline that has already obtained firm foothoid. There are ® good many offenders, to be sure, but they are called to time by their officers ina style that causes them to remember that they are not out on a picnic, but are tasting the actual experience of a soldier's life. Several men, who have bumped their noses against this wall of military authority, are inclined to blubber a littlé over it, and two or three half-uttered threats to leave the camp and go home have been heard, GEN. ORDWAY IS THOROUGHLY SATISFIED with the way in which things are working, and he predicts, not only a successful first encamp- ment, but such a showing that Congress cannot well avoid giving the guard a liberal appro- priation for next year'scamp. An effort will undoubtedly be made to secure means to pay the men while in camp, as is done in some states, in order that those who attend in obedience to their orders need not suffer an absolute loss of their incomes. THE SECOND NIGHT. But to drop prophesying and to tell about present conditions the second night the brigade spent in camp was wonderfully quiet. There was absolutely no disturbance whatever after taps had sounded, the admonitions of the guard effectually nipping in the bud all cropping ten- dencies to hilarity in the tents, THE SUPPER LINE. The noisiest period of the evening is at sup- per time when the brigade files into the fort with their empty tin cups. The “dog” theory has remained as part of the fiction of the camp, and as the men tramp, tramp along with steps hastened by good solid appetites they raise this out: “What will we have for supper?” And voices without restraint reply: “Dog!” with a vim that sends the sound floating away down the Potomac. Every man beats time for the march on the bottom of his cup, and the thump, thump, thump of the vessels is now a art of the atmosphere. There is lots of larity on these occasions that is not at all sub- dued by the presence of officers. This march is taken at a “rout step,” and there is no order preserved except that necessary to keep the men in line and moving. Occasionally a fellow with an overdose of animal spirits will give a hideous war whoop to test the echoes and the strength of the plastering as he goes through the gateway, but a significant point of an officers’ finger into THE LITTLE ROOM ON THE RIGHT of the passageway in entering usually brings silence, This room was used, in the palmy days when Fort Washington was garrisoned, as the guard-house, and is provided with two cells, strong and dark, where recreants were kept. Well-worn steps tell of frequent use, and battered doors show where the temper of prisoners have, inday’ gone by, incited them to futile efforts to escape. od Little gratings on either side of the heavy doors and one above would give air to the un- fortunate soldier, At present the room is de- aerted and unoccupied, but ina case of extreme necessity the dungeons could easily be fitted up for the reception of a guest. TUESDAY'S GUARD MOUNT was as follows: Exterior guard, company C, fifth battalion, Capt. A. J. Robinson, officer of the day; First. Lieut. A. J. Woude, officer of the guard. First regiment guard, company B, third battalion, Capt. M. Mahaney, officer of the day; First Lieut, J. P. Earnest, officer of the guard, Second regiment guard, company B, sixth battalion, Capt. Bartlett, officer of the day; First Lieut, Bassett. senior officer of the guard; Second Lieut. ‘'umbleson, junior officer of the guard. Seventh and eight! guard, company A. seventh battalion, Capt. Arthur Brooks, officer of the day; First Lieut. FP, L. Dodson, officer of the rd. Detached commands, cavalry guard, detail under First Sergt. Mitchell, officer of the day; artillery sr detail under Lieut. Mellach, officer of the day. Privates Ford and Luiskey of company C, fifth battalion, were detailed as orderlies, the former at Gen. Ordway's headquarters and the latter at those of the adjutant general, The guards are doing better work every day, and some of the men are studying their litt! guard-mounting manuals printed by Gen. Ord- way withas much avidity as they ordinarily would a French novel. They are quick at chal- lenging and seem to delight in getting folks in odd scrapes, “CHARLEY, WE HAVE MISSED You.” There was a big hole in the camp yesterday, caused by the absence of Adjutant Charles Loeiiler of the first battalion, who secured a twenty-four-hour pass and went to town, He had been on duty at the camp from Satur- day morning, and had worked like a Turk to get things in shape for @ bo: Charley, as he is fondly called, by the entire command, i one of the jolliest fel- lows in the District of Columbia, and also one of the best soldiers in the national guard. He is so kind-hearted and jovial that when peo- le have met him but if an hour they re- ard him as an old iend, His rotund figure is gan and was afraid to fire one. He was among a squad detailed for instruction in rifle prac- tice at the electric from the WA battalions | GTON, - D. C. aby and toward evening the hearts of his capt werd softened by his pleadings for liberty. He confessed that he had never shot off a in his life save an air-gun that he fired at a cat and missed, and that he really did not know the least thing about firing a gun. Upon this declaration of ignorance and in view of the fact that he had been oe enough not to recog- nize the inspector, he was releaxed from cus- tody, and he immediately promised to put him- self in thorough training as a marksman, EVENING VISITORS. The steamers landed a large number of pas- sengers yesterday afternoon, and the camp was full of muslin and bright colors, pretty faces and happy smiles all the evening. A many who came on the steamer Law had just time to see the dress parade, then to take a ramble through the camp and: then get back to the wharf in season for the departure of the steamer at 7 o'clock. Others who traveled on the Corcoran were enabled to stay later and to take the boat that went up the river at about 10 o'clock. There was a number of young ladies in the party of visitors— sisters, sweethearts and friends—with a fair inkling of wives. The trim, neat uniforms of the guardsmen were the most potent attrac- peed and civilians were regularly left in the wake, ALL QUIET ALONG THE POTOMAC, Fort Washington abounds with nooks just suited to the tender confidences of young folks. Fallen trees and shaded boulders offer senti- mental attractions seldom equaled. The scene here depicted by Tue Srar’s artist is but char- acteristic of several incidents. Visitors are not allowed to wander from the road through the space bounded on one side by the hospital tents and on the other by the brigade offices, for this ground is sacred, so to speak, and the sentnel at the road side is kept very busy turn- ing back excursionists who thin! it would be just too lovely for anything” to sit on those porches and get that magnificent view down the river. This isa busy spot, for here are the quartermaster general's office, Tux Star's branch office. the dispensary and the commis- sary general's headquarters. These form the four strongest magnets in the resercation, bar- ring the mess halls, and the passing of guards- men and of officers to one or another of the offices is almost incessant from reveille to taps. THE OLD MANOB HOUSE. Just beyond the last building, and on the other side of the road, is the old Digges manor house, now used as the headquarters of the ad- jutant general and the mess hall for the gen- eral and his staff. The artist drawn his sketch of this well-preserved relic from a mound on the bluff overlooking the river in front of Bergt. Joyce’s house and to the west and south of the old mansion, The overhanging portico, supported by four brick piers, is used by the camp newspaper men when they eat. They do eat, strange to say, and they are unanimous in appetites that bespeak of midmght tramping for items over rough field and all-day hustling. ‘The room to the left of the portico is where Gen. Ordway and his colonels, majors and captains refresh the minor officers. A ingy green vine has just made the ascent of the wall, giving a picturesque appearance to the scaling wall. The straight, stiff, lightning rod on the far chimney seems out of place in the antique surroundings. Running around the front and both sides of the house is a sort of moat, which the porch crosses in front after the fashion of adrawbridge. The pump on the bank near the wall where the white-capped chef is at work furnishes splendid water for this mess. © e pt This house was built away back in those | vague years of which there is no exact record, The bricks, like all those used during that periea, were brought from England in a ship's old. ‘The great, high chimuey viect d the !low ceilings tell of an architectur> of the eighteenth century—for there are certain proofs that the house was standing in 1803, and it was probably built a dozen or so years before then, if notlopger. It was the manor of the estate that overlooked the river for miles up and down shore and back into the couaty.and has undoubtedly seen rough times and courtly times—times of ten-mile neighbors, when there were gatherings in the main room with a great log crackling on the hearth. One can imagine the broud hallway hung with guns and powder- horns, antiers’ hides and other trophies of the chase; one can almost hear the slow tones of the southern colonial farmer as he tells his sturdy sons how “that nigger Riah came nigh tting loose to-day.” or how the crop was in ne shape on account of the good weather in last fortnight. ‘The place is redolent with picturesque possi- bilities, and a half-active imagination will servo to conjure up sccnes of historical interest within the walls of this old manor house whose owner was George Washington's neighbor, g A large number of the over-thirsty, the tremely bibulous, walk beyond the confines the reservation and buy all the liqu want of a cot & & 5 4 fi 8 s & E g Private L.

One man had been over to River View, and when he reached camp he was without the countersign and he had forgotten to ask for a pass, Very skilifally did he elude the vigilance of the sentries on the wharf, but he was brought up standing by the lone watchman was down bis hilly post, just below e entrance to the fort. The peremptory chal- lenge was boldly responded to and the way- farer was requested to advance and give the countersign. He walked up brickly to the sentry, mumbled something in ® hoarse whisper, and was passing on, when the not quite certain as to what he had “Did you say ‘Gettaburg’ “I did,” was the response, The sentry re- sumed his tramp cat the quick-witted and lucky man reached camp safely, for he had been given the countersign. MAJOR MINTYRE’S STORY. The story broke loose in camp and was laughed at bysome of the officers at head- quarters, Major McIntyre was moved to tell a story when he heard of it. He was in the con- federate service during the war, and was on duty in Eastern Virginia, An old countryman who had enlisted challenged the major one night as he was returning to camp. The coun- tersign was “Lee” and the parole was ‘‘Beaure- gard.” In response to the challenge the major whispered ‘‘Lee” and started to move on, but the old sentinel wouldn't have it. ‘ ‘Lee’ is all right,” said he, “but you can’t pass bere unless you say ‘Beauregard,’ too.” ‘The major did not have the second word, but it was not much trouble to repeat it after the sentry, 60 he did it. CADET HINE'S EXPERIENCE. A case somewhat similar to this occurred in camp last night. Cadet Hine, who bas done great service in giving instruction in guard duty to the rather green hands, was making the grand rounds in the camp of the seventh and eivhth battalions at about 1 o'clock this morning. Plodding back through the long grass to the other camp after rounds were finished he encountered a sentinel who bade him halt and then told him to advance with the countersign. The word for the night was “Gettysburg,” but in order to test the sentry the officer whispered “Rappahannock” in his ear. The guard grinned widely and mumbled something to the effect that it was all right, whereupon the officer said: _ Fs Rappahannock is not the countersign, is it?” “Oh, no, sir,” stammered the confused guard, “It's Gettysburg, that’s so,” and his gun kept expanding. ‘The officer rebuked him for his carelessness, ‘You shoulda’t give the counter- sign away inthat manner. Suppose these were war times and I was an enemy, you would be in a pretty box wouldn't you?” “Yaas,” said the guard, running his out so far, in his embarrassment, that he could have used it as a bayonet. Cadet Hine has been one of the busiest officers in the camp, instructing guard detuils for the next day, inspecting the guard after it is mounted, assisting in the ceremony of guard- mount, and giving odds and ends of informa- tion that have helped things along wonderfully. In view of the fact that is entirely volun- now on farlongh z said: tary on his part, he bein, from West Point, his services are highly a —— by Gen.

The Washington Light Infantry Visit Fort Washington in 1860, The encampment will have probably as visit- ors numbers of members of the Washington Light Infantry of the olden time, some of whom pleasantly remember a three-days’ duty in the oid fort in 1¢60, The battalion then numbered two companies, under the command of Major (afterward colonel) James Y. Davis, and the Meet = fa tHe Arriving at the fort guards ‘of compa morning of the 4th, bent on spendi a pleas- ant day as guests. In this they were, however, disuppointed, for, once within the walls of the for’, the rule was enforced—“‘a soldier in uni- form was one for duts"—and_ the fret they ‘new some were doing guard duty, ers en- gaged in drill and performing other military ats ‘The fort was evacuated on the evening of the 4th, and the command returned, as they went, by the steamer Phenix. It is unneces- sary to say that this experience was valuable to the command, for when, tex months later, the battalion was called on for a camp, there were ® number who had a taste of @ soldier's daty and were not entirely green. Capt. Towers, after three months’ service, was, for a time, on Gen. Patterson's staff, and afterward colonel of the first District regi- ment, Lieut. Lem, Williams, Sergeant Major Perse , and Sergeant Jos. Coleman were afterward captains in the same regiment, and Private was detailed in April, '6l, to run the steamer Mt. Vernon, and from thence to the navy. 4 WELL-EQUIPPED COMPANY. The old company was probebly the best equipped of any of the old-time organizations, having, as early as 1843, provided a complement of tente—e marquee for the officers and twelve smaller ones for the men, each with a capacity reser ag were of the Sibley ——- jue round tent, with gun rack and tab! Attached to the pole. EARLY CAMPS. In the summer of that year the company went into camp on the spot now occupied by the Smithsonian and remained three days. Capt. Richard France was in command then, with Lieuts, James P. McKean, John F. Tucker and Joseph Philli In this camp were James Kelley and W, H. Nalley. each of whom was a captain of District troops during the last war, F.S. Lamb, Hiram Richey, Johu T. Given and James Powers, all of whom are living. The old command held a number of other encam ments in olden times—abont 1846 in Berry's woods, near Glenwood, and some years after @ two-days’ Fourth-of-July camp on New Jersey avenue mear the Carroll mansion, but the greatest seasons were the camps at Richmond and Fredericksburg in the '40«. An encampment of the National Blues, com- manded by Captain Asbury Tucker.early in the "608, was probubly one of the most lively camps ever held in this section. Refreshmeuts were extensively furnished and it was said that the men got the liquor, lemons, sugar, &c., on the morning of July 4, converted the spring into a punch bowl, and for some distance the stream was lined with bold soldier boys sucking the concoction therefrom through straws. It is interesting to note the fact that in the old-time organizations were the fathers and — of anumber now in camp and that jor Dalton’s father was for many years a member of the original Light Infantry. = NAMES FOR THE JURY BOX. The Commissioners Recently Appointed Meet To-day to Arrange Preliminaries. The commissioners recently appointed by the Court in General Term to prepare names for the box from which to draw names of jurors for the various terms of the court met in the Circuit Court room to-day to arrange pre- liminaries, The commissioners are B. H. Warner, John F. Cook, Thos. Soverviile, W. J. Stephenson, C. 8. Shreve, T. J, Lattrell, M. J. Adler, Heury Naylor and James B. Nourse, and they represent all sections of the District. e question of how many names they will require was discussed, and it was thought as the regular juries will require about 600 names, and as the galling of talesmen for the numerous homicide cases is to be provided for, that tully 1,500 names annually should be selected. It was not, however, determined whether to fill the box for a year, and it is likely that about 750 will b2 put im the box for the remainder of this year. eae reat THE SEWER PIPE CONTRACT. An Injunction Granted the Potomac Terra Cotta Company. In the Equity Court this morning Judge Montgomery delivered the opinion of the court granting an injunction in the case of the Potomac terra cotta company against the District Com- missioners ¢* al , restraining the award of con- tracts for fu-nishing sewer pipe for the fiscal year endi 1g June 30 next. ‘The case was pre- sented b7 Mr. F. T. Browning for the com- plainant and Mr. Riddle for the District, and was in somerespects a novel one. The District, about June 1, advertised for bids to be re- ceived at noon June 22 last, and the complain- ant, by Mr. G. Y. AtLee, filed their bid a little before noon of the latter date with Commis- sioner Hine. It proved to be the lowest bid. The Commissioners, however, did not have the bid before them in the board meeting, and Mr, Hine, having overlooked it, did not find it until the afternoon of the 25th of June. ‘ihe con- tract was after that date awarded to another compauy, and the Potomac company com- menced proceedings, claiming, as a taxpayer, that the citizens had the right to have the work done by the lowest responsibie bidder. DECISION OF THE CoURT. The court said that, although the Commis- sioners had power to reject any or all bids, and could decide who was the lowest responsible bidders, it must be held that the bid of com- jainant was in, and, inasmuch as it was some juys after their knowledge of this bid that the coutract was uwarded, they should have con- sidered it. ‘The injunction was, therefore granted enjoin- ing the making of the contracts, eee A Youthful Thief Sentenced.

The belt waa in plain view, aud Muidoon ask the terms on which ithad been turned over. On learning that the estimated value of the belt, $1,000, had been guaranteed by Wakely, in case the belt was lost, Muldoon examined it and al- leged that its real value was not that much, He advised Sullivan not to keep it @ minute, Sallivan agfeed with Muldoon, and the belt was turned over to Wakely, who will send it te Mr. Cridge this morning. It will probably re the hands of Richard K. Fox, the donor, or his representative before the day closes, Mr. Muldoon said last night that in bis opin- ion there was only one reai championship belt, and that was the one given to Sullivan a few years ago by citizens of Boston.
