A New York special to the Philadelphia Press says: Complaints have been coming in from all parts of the country to the New York post office of a green goods gang which appeared to be doing arushing trade. Mr. Comstock and an agent followed an old man to No. 17 Moore street, but by the time Police Captain Me- Laughlin and Detective Oates arrived on the spot the man had escaped. Capt. McLaughlin searched the room. A small safe stood in one corner, which he easily forced open. He found in it $4,644 in good money, done up in packages from $10 bilis down. No letters of a damaging character were found, but there were four books of addresses in the safe, with names of men to be written to, from Texas to Montana, Two of Bradstreet’s books were also found, giving the rating of business men all over the country. The agent of the build- ing said that the gray-haired man had taken the room under the name of Henry Marsh, cealer in all kinds of patents, He had a part- ner, whose nume was not known to the agent, Capt. McLaughlin sent the money to the property clerk at police headquarters. If the men have not the nerve to claim it it will hel; swell the police pension fund. But they will probably claim it through a lawyer. Workingmen’s pedition to Paris. The American workingmen’s delegates to the Paris exposition, under the auspices of the Scripps league, sailed from New York yester- day for Europe. Altogether they are a fine body of representative American workingmen aud will reflect great credit on the classes they represent. The trip will last eight weeks, and will be through England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany and France, with’ Paris and the exposition as the objective point. dbo nesta Will Ruin the Wool Industry. A dispatch from Pittsburg says: Within afew days, at the suggestion of Mr. Leach, surveyor of the port of Philadelphia, the Pitts- burg appraisers have decided to admit English wool at 10c,a pound instead of 30 or 60c., according to the classification, as heretofore. This course will make English wool py ed than the American article, and there is a fear that the wool industry hereabout will be CAMPING BY THE RIVER. THE SOLDIERS A? CAMP ORDWAY. WELL-DISOIPLINED ORGANIZATION. Night Scenes and Incidents in the Tented City—Keeping Order in the Dark— A Creditable Record. rs Braxca Orrice Evente Star, ‘Camp Onpwar, Fort WasHincton, Mp., July 25, 1889, When the last whistle blew for the departure of the steamer George Law for camp yeeterday afternoon there were fully three hundred peo ple left on the wharf unable to get aboard on account of the wd. They took passage, however, on the and arrived at Camp Ordway about half an hour after the Law, which was unable to make a landing at the fort for some time owing to a broken fast line. When a landing was effected there was a rush for the drill grounds, but dress parade was al- most over, and before the Leary arrived the gun announcing the close of the drill had boomed forth and the boys were in their tents Preparing for supper. There were many per- sonal friends of the guardsmen among the visitors last evening, and some boasted of fried chicken and cake for dinner, The visitors wan- dered through the camp, chatting with the soldiers until the BUGLE SOUNDED FOR SUPPER. There was a sudden activity developed among the tents and blue coats popped out here and there and fell into line,‘each bearing a tin cup with which to beat time on his brass buttons, The march lay in the direction of the old fort, and soon several hundred men were at the dra bridge waiting for the word to get to work. They had good appetites, judging by the time they lingered, and the sunset em boomed o1 upon the stili evening air and sent its ech reverberating among the hills of old Vi — before they got up from the long tables, Evi- a me meal was a good one and heartily enjoye After supper the boys hada chance with their sweethearts, and the envious looks and groans cS to the favored ones could be seen and ard on all sides, IN THE EVENING, ‘When it began to grow dark the camp pre- sented an attractive appearance, the light in the tents gave everything a ghost-like look, and the old gray sergeant who passed up and down the dusty road looked like a specter of the war. AT RIVER VIEW. A large number, having obtained leave until roll-call, visited River View. Here everything was bustle; the blue coats seemed to own the pavilion and captured many a dashing maiden. The shooting galleries did ‘a good business and the gravity railroad paid for itself. The boys would load a car, and then with a war whoop of “let her go” they would dash down the incline, yelling at the tops of their voices. Taken all in all, they behaved very well and there were no scenes of drunken disorde: About 9:45 there was @ lull in the festivities and a mad break down the hill for the boats. They had but five minutes to get into camp before the tattoo sounded. The old colored boatman was promised everything if he would et them there on time, but although e did his utmost many got in late and were reported. One of the representatives of Tue Star accepted the invitation of one of the cay- alrymen to spend the night in camp. The re- rter was left outside the lines while the sol- ier went through to make it all right. Pretty soon he heard him call to come on, and he started. He didn’t go far, however. for sud- denly a soldier sprang up from the grounds and called in a gruff voice, “Halt.” The reporter tried to laugh it down, but the sentinel looked determined, and so did his gun, and the com- mand was promptly obeyed. The sentry told him to advance and give the countersign. He didn’t know it. Things began to look serious. The reporter thought of his home, the sentry of his duty; so commanding the scrib» to for- ward march, he brought up in the rear with his gun cocked and primed in readiness for the slightest resistance. The march ended at the guard tent, where the following conversation took place “Who are you?” “A reporter for Tr Stan.” What's your business?” =? hat’s your name?” “Don't know.” Married or single?” “Single.” “ Circumstances all_ pointed to the guard house, when Private McElhone stepped up and acknowledged his friend, and he was saved. After having escaped the guard house Tur Stan man was shown to his tent and notified that he had but twenty minutes to turn in before the lights would be put out. After the bugle sounded for lights out Tux Star man started forth on a little tour of investigation. Nothin, disturbed the stillness except an occasional exclamation as it issued from a tent where the ant was vainly endeavoring to corralla “chigger.” = the present” was 2 == the proverb that no “\* doubt haunted his seem to be extracting the most fan out of camp, and a history of their numerous adven- tures would fill a large-sized book. Yesterday a party of them, learning that they could get a good dinner at a small village it 6 miles away, slipped by the sentry and were soon gal- ing away over the ‘After several ex- citing races they arrived at their destination and sent out a scout to look up something to eat. The scout returned empty handed ard declared that the people in the vil would not accommodate them, as they had nD vis- ited by some of their gang the day previous and had been eaten out of house and home. One of the party had an acquaintance with one of the farmers and he departed to try his luck with him. In a short time he returned, no bet- ter off than when he started. He found out, however, that THE CONSTABLE OF THE VILLAGE was one of the boys, and if they could interest him about horses they were sure to get some- thing to eat, The constable was visited and found in. “How would you like to trade horses?” asked Private Gus Macias, riding up. “We are just from camp and want to dispose of our stock, if possible. for something better,” put in Private Jim McEthone. ‘-Why, howdy boys,” said the constable; “won't you jine me insome- thin’ to drink?” ie boys were willing and the constable led the way to the house. All this time the boys did not dare to broach the subject of food, although the long ride had given them sharp appetites. There was but one thing to do to get the constable in a hospitable humor, in hopes he would take them to dinner. The scheme was successful and he invited the sol. diers to dine with him at the house of his aunt's law. The boys readily accepted. y were introduced all around and were treated royally. Outside were the farmers who had heard that there were men in the village who wanted to trade horses, When the soldiers came out they were pounced upon by the farm- ers and taken to see ‘ther best piece of hoss flesh that ever war born.” They humored the farmers and several trades were made, the farmers to come to camp Tuesday and get the horses. When the truants consulted their watches it was found that they had but a short time to get back to camp to be ready for dress parade, 80, leaving the constable in peaceful slumber and giving the farmers three cheers, they rode away and arrived in camp just in tim : to answer to roll-call, VK VALUABLE INFORMATION, Bean soup, corned beef, sausage and bacon are beginning to pall on the appetites of most of the fastidious guardsmen, and every re- source for supplying extra edibles is resorted to. The few fruit trees on the reservation have long ago been stripped of their products, while bona fide cases of “ye little green apple” and his consin the “peach of emeratd hue” have been treated at the dispensary as a re- sult. The fact is very potent that the reserva- tion cannot supply these extra appetites, and foraging parties frequently steal forth up the roud in seeking whatsoever they may devour. The watermelons are not ripe yet; the fruit—well the boys have had all the fruit they want; they don’t care for vegetable, else th might long ago have devastated the third artillery garden on the other side of the road from the camp, But chickens—nice, plump spring chickens—are to be found, with a little dexterity, not far from camp. So the hungry ones go for the nearest shanty beyond the line and ply the inhabitants with diplomatic ques- tions as to the nearest hen roost. Sometimes an expert lends his aid to the foragers and not only shows them the way but gives them a pointer or 60 in the art of depopulating a roost. In this way chicken feathers are com- mon in some of the company streets and chicken bones are scattered here and there— circumstantial evidence of banquets that were not down on the camp program. Comey In a tent near by a dim light cast a startling shadow picture against the canvas, and while the reporter was looking a pathetic voice shouted out “Hold on there.” It was evident that the boys were refreshing the inner man, but as the reporter was meditating over the hibition platform a guard brushed suddenly y, and in a moment the shadow was nomore, Several of the boys to sneak bp Tom igs few escaped the watch- eye Having obtained the necessary pass THE Stan reporter strolled through the They were all more or less TARGET PRACTICE, The sharp crack of rifles now forms one of the most familiar sounds at Fort Ordway and adds a military tone tothe pervading atmos- phere, for the rifle a fe | ceepadeem pater | mered almost constant of expert _riflemen. to the LJ ‘The target is of iron and is provided with Ross | electric annuncintor stationed at os the my when and where targe' Huck, thus aiding the, dangerous wovtmty has rather ne e Fee ie i tl Hi i: Dress parade is becoming the great event of the day in camp and attracts not only numbers of visitors from the city but also quite an audi- natives, to whom the idiers and the sound of delights of the dusky toilers—hewers of wood and drawers of water—who live just beyond the Haertnregs trap d into camp when the sun begins to down to the Virginia side and to take up advantageous positions on the rail fence that bounds the grounds.

One of these might be: “Wise ins rivate who his own ap- petite, for verily it will be heard later on.” dent prophets in their wisdom are those who look for- ward to future needs, nd this sort of wisdom isextremely prevalent in camp. About the first thing some of the guardsmen do when they get to the mess hall is to chuck one of the thick slices of bread under the coat before beginning to eat. If such a soldier has room he stuffs one or two more pieces un- der his jacket by the time the meal is over, and when he rises to leave the fort he apparently ® Good exponent of the fattening qualities of the food fur- nished to the — His head is thrown back and his tightly-buttoned jacket comes down anatomy in queer waves and lum) dicate a new ies of humanity.

Barton Wants to Marry a Widow, but is Opposed by His Children. An interesting story is told at Holyoke, Mass., of the love affairs of Phineas T. Barton, the oldest citizen of the quaint old town of Gran- by. Mr. Barton has almost reached the nine- tieth mile-stone on the journey of life, but feels so young that be has fallen in love again. He is worth from €30.000 to $50,000. His family of four sons and one daughter do not want a stepmother and are trying to change the old man’s mind on the subject. He was | brought back from the station a few days ago while on his way to get married, In fact, the old man is a close prisoner and is not allowed to move outside his farm, lest he make another break to lead his sweetheart to the parson. He, however, declares that he wili get married again and that he is old enough to know what he wants. The old man’s story of love and in- fatuation is indeed a romance in itself. It was not until a week ago that his family discovered that he was courting a widow in Springfield, one in Hartford and another in Belchertown, and it is said that a beautiful widow of Holyoke is among his admirers. One day last week the oid man hitched up his team, and, after chang- ing his farm clothes for his Sunday suit and crawling into the buggy, remarked to his daughter: “I am going to Springfield to get married.” “To get married, father?” ‘The daughter looked at her gray-baired sire half amazed and half dewildered, but before she could speak wnother word the old man was on his way to marry the charming widow of fifty who said she loved him.

When the son-in-law got almost into Belchertown the old man was seen about half a mile ahead. He turned around and saw he was pursued. The old man loves a fast horse and soon had the one he was driving breaking the record. He used the whip freely and dashed into the town of Belchertown ona run. His son-in-law, ike Jebu, caught him rs streaming down his face he begged to be allowed to go to Springfield, but the young man made him return, He is now kept under the watchful eves of his son's family.
