Ricuaoxp, July 22—Richard H. Cardwell, speaker of the house of delegates of the Vir- gina assembly. in an interview in the State to- day announces himself as a candidate for Con- gress from this district. He says he intends to make a fight for the democratic nomination against George D. Wise. _ Ho is a resident of Hanover county, but prac- s law in this city. The contest between Wise and himself promises to be lively. It ix understood that Cardwell is backed by the Farmers’ Alliance. A BOLD DIAMOND THIEF. He Chloroformed Young Women and Robbed Them of Their Jewels. Cmicago, July 22.—A man who gives the name of Walter Vanvalkenberg was arrested last night for a series of strange crimes. He is accused of chloroforming and then robving in- nocent girls and women of their jewelry, money or valuables. Vanvalkenberg says he is nineteen years old. Sunday, July 13, Miss Kittie Howell, « Philadelphia girl, who is visiting cousin in the city reported at the central station the loss of diamonds worth $550. She said she told the detectives that Vanvalken- berg had been introduced to her by a friend and that he had invited ber to the theater. She started to the theater with him the evening of July 11, but he said it was too late and proposed a trip to a beer garden, where they drank lemonade. She suddenly became very sick and started home. Becoming too sick to travel, Vanvalkenberg took her into a saloon, telling her that he would get something that would relieve her. He ordered lemonade and offered the bar tender $5 to “fix” the drink. ‘The bar tender refused. Vanvalkenberg him- self drugged it, probably with chloroform, and before Miss Howell could reach the sidewalk and take acar she became unconscious. She knew nothing further until Saturday, when she awoke in aroom at the Nixon Hou: diamonds, valued at $550, were gol next heard from Vanvalkenberg had taken a young woman into a saloon and under the pre- tence of examining her diamond ring walked of the special committee of which Judge Jam K. McKenzie of Kentucky, is chairman. The Philadelphians, members of tne centen- nial finance committee, who were present bi side the mayor included Frederick Frailey, John Baird, Wm. V. McKean of the Ledger, Thomas Donaldson, Thomas Cochran, Amos R. Little, Clement W. Biddle, E. T. Steel, Thomas H. Dudiey, James Robb and P. A. B, Widuer, who is alsoa member of the special commit- tee. The mayor and his guests seated themselves democratically around the table in the lurge reception room of his office and the confer- ence was opeucd by Judge McKenzie. who stated what the committee would like to know. “First,” said he, “we should like to know the different suggestions nnd ideas that were mooted before you when you first took action in regard to the centennial; also the original plans that were adopted and abandon-d. “Second. We wouid like your suggestions as to the plan and scope of the exposition at Chi- cago in 1893 and the suggestion of any novel ideas that would be suitabie. “Third. What you think should be the powers and duties of the director general. “Fourth. What should be the powers and duties of the executive committe; and, gener- ally, any suggestions that you may be pleased to make. ; “Our object Is to make use of your experi- ence and your ideas which went so far to make Philadelphia's Centennial! Exposition a shining success,” : Mr. Cochran foliowed Judge McKenzie and sketched the suggestions that he made to the committce last week. Mr. Fraley. who was one of the most valua- ble members of the centennial commission, outlined the history of the exposition in this city and told how money was raised here by individual subscriptions of $10 cach, and the work was carried on to triumphant success, Asked as to the duties of the director general he Feplic d: “He should prepare arrangements for all the work; invite architects to submit plans of buildings to be erected and make all sap pipers for the installment of exhibits, “He should, of course. have wise consulters in the executive committee on whore advice he aes relay. Ee careful in the selection of your director general and you can clothe him With all these important powers that should ap- pertain to his position. The executive committee should hold regu- Commissioner,excepting as to the water depart- ment—which is also undert he control of the Board of Commissioners---and the duties which are assigned to the two officers of the engineer corps, detailed to assist him, involve the expenditure of mearly all the funds abont which dispute can probably arise as to the validity of the expenditure, it seems but right that said assistants should be assigned as assistants to the Commissioners in- stead of to one Commissioner only. The ma- jority of the Commissioners have now no right to call aco said assistants, even for in- formation, andean give them no directions concerning District work, “The inconvenience of this condition is fre- quently very great. Its absurdity is evident in the light of the fact that the Commissioners appointed from civil life alone give bonds for the legal expenditure of all appropriations for District purposes. The Engineer Commis- sioner does not agree with the majority in this recommendation.” THE BILL. The bill enclosed is entitled a bill “Toamend the act of Congress entitled, ‘An act to provide a permanent form of government for the Dis- trict of Columbia,’ approved June 11, 1878.” It provides that the last clause of section 5 of an act entitled, ‘An act to provide a permanent | form of government for the District of Colum- bia,” approved June 11, 1878, be repealed and the following substituted in lieu thereof, to wit: | “The President of the United States may de- tail from the engineer corps of the army not more than two oflicers of rank subordinate to that of the engineer officer belonging to the board of Commissioners to perform such duties as may be assigned to them by the board of Commissioners.” —____.

They re- ceived stuff from the wagons at the battalion headquarters and saw that everything was put in pl FEEDING THE MULTITUDE. The commissary was on its mettle, too, At the fort and at headquarters mess there was much activity and the least possible quantities of friction and noise. More than a thousand men would be ready for dinner almost as soon as they reached the wharf. There wus ice water in plenty for the brigade (although deal of the brigade seemed to be suppli with lemonade and other mixed arisks); at the headquarters mess there was a huge bowi of punch that was reputed to be strong enough to walk away with the bowl. ‘The officers of the Excelsior say that there was no difficulty yesterday in landing the troops; that the boat made the wharf and was ready for the disembarkation in as quick a time as is usual in handling large boats. A GRATIFYING SUCCESS. The parade was in every respect a most gratifying success, The line was as steady as though every man in it wasaveteran, And when to the really fine maneuvering was added the somewhat theatrical effect of center- ing the colors and having the br them as it marched by the square the spec- tacle was all that any on-looker couid ask for. One of the most interesting things in counee- tion with the dress parade was the fact that the commands uttered by Gen. Ordway could be heard on almost any portion of the reserva- tion. Nobody seems to know where the gen- eral gets ai that voice from, but that he bas it there can be no doubt. Every word uttered by him in command was heard distinctly as far down as the woods and then again in the oppo- site direction at the headquarters of the cav- alry and artillery. Adjt. Gen. Long, too, spoke with much more distinction than might have been expected from one who had for some time past been suffering from a severe throat trouble. EMBEZZLED SANDWICHES. Supper was served to the brigade while the men were in their tents, but somehow or other Wednesday will be a big day. WHY EVERY ONE SOLED.

He | lightened up the darkness of the artillery | camp with the scintillations of his humor, and everybody felt the happier because he had come, ithin ten utes of his arrival he had distributed a m r of labels on which were inscribed: “This is an original package.” Incidentally it may be stated that there are enough “original packages” in camp to call | fe other United States Supreme Court mn.

It is expected that the President and the See- retary of War will go. THE BODY NOT IDENTIFIED, No Clue to the Mysterious Drowning Case on the River Above Holtzman’s. Coroner Patterson viewed the body of the unknown white man found in the Potomac above Holtzman’s early yesterday morning, as published iu yesterday's Stan, bat failed to find any marks on the body indicating that he had been foully dealt with, The man’s front teeth were all gone. After their publication in last evening's Stan many persons visited the morgue and viewed the body, whic was placed in the ice box to be preserved for identification. This morn two ladies called at the morgue and han Lient. helly a picture of a missing member of the family, but there was no resemblance to the dead mano faras the lieutenant could see and the ladies concluded that be was sot the oue for whom they were looking. WHo Was HE? Among the persons who called to view the remains none were abie to tell who the dead man Ww: Thus far the police have learned nothing that will throw any light on the case whatever. There is no clue either to the identity of the dead man or where or how he got in the river. Ithas been intimated that the body washed down the river some miles, but it was too well reserved to have been carried over either the Big or Little fails, INVESTIGATING THE CASE.

As soon as Gen. Ordway discovered that whisky was being illegally sold on the Teservation he decided to put a stop to it; so he instructed his inspector generals to board the fish commission launch (which is under his control) and to visit these gentlemen who seemed determined to sell the vilest whisky that was ever manufactured to the District National Guard in camp, ‘he inspector general did his duty pretty thoroughly. He went around both on shore and in the fish launch and notified each of the gentlemen most immediately concerned that it would be the desire of the general commanding that he quit business and move out right away. This intimation was received inaspirit more or less of resignation by all the parties concerned except one, and that one will probably have his little dose of trouble to- day.

Itlooks now as though Wednesday was to be the big day of the camp. The President, the members of the cabinet, a large number of Senators and Bepreneere with quite a re- spectable sprinkling of other persons of official and social importance, have been invited to the camp and will be here carly Wednesday after- noon. Altogether the number of invited its will be about two hundred and fifty. The Presi eave the city, wecom- ide! will te [aew by his cabinet, on one of the oat, bué the invited guests, who Headquarters was another get-up-and-move place during the day. The different companies in turn came up to the not very pretty but ex- ceedingly useful porch and each man was sup- plied with a mattress sack which could be tilled with straw at the bales which were placed con- veniently by each camp. Near one of these piles of straw an incipient fire broke itearly in the day in the dried ather an exciting scene for a ith the men beating and stamp- ing ont the blaze. however, the fire did not have any more show than a bottle of beer, and disappeared about as quickly.

The artillery are officcred in camp this year as follows: Captain. Arthur Yates; senior first lieutenant, A. P. Rovbins; junior first lieutenant, W. Ale: ander; second liewtenant. G. W. F.

AFTER THE DRESS PARADE, After the dress parade came supper, which was brought around to the boys. A big ham sandwich and a cup of coffee was what it con- sisted of. and with this fora foundation and numerous other little things which had been brought down. many a jovial supper party was scattered through ti hite tents, After sup- per singing seemed favorite amusement. Solos. duets and quartets could be heard every- where, and the variety of songs was beaten by the number of soldiers in camp, a DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. KILLED BY Gas. The park commission soveral days ago noti- fied the Commissioners that escaping gas on A street northeast between 11th and 12th streets was killing the trees, Upon examination it was discovered that there was a leak in one of the mains of the gas company. and the same was repaired at once. ‘THEY WANT ASPHALT. ae a of the lend through which Pennsylvania ave- nue extended will have, through their at- torneys, naotneed yy ts duwsatisfaction with and Joba H.
