WORKING FOR WASHINGTON, Arrival of the Invitation Committec at De- trolt—A Hopefal Outlook. Special Dispatch to Tax Evewrxa Stan. Dernorr, Mrcw., Angnst 3.—The G. A. R. trains that left Washington Saturday night and Sunday morning arrived here this morning. The special beuring the Secretary of War ahd the citizens’ committee on invitation arrived at 8:30a.m. They spent yesterday at Watkin's Glen and Niagara Fallsand woke up this morning with the roar of Niagura still in their ears to encoun- ter the bustle and hum of a city whose popula- tion is alreedy swelled far beyond its usual proportions. ‘The citizens’ committee was joined at Ni- agara Fails by Mr. O. G. Staples and was met on its arrival here by Maj. Fred. 8. Brackett, Past Department Commander Burke and Capt. Houghton, who arrived Friday and had already been actively at work in the interest of Wash- ington. Tbe committee went at once to the Russell House, where headquarters were opened. ‘The splendid silver plate which contains the in- vitation from the citizens of Washington to the G. A.R. to bold the encampmentat the national capital is displayed in a prominent place inthe Russell House lobby, where it can be seen both from the lobby and from the street, and it is al- ready much talked about. IN HOPEFUL sPrRits. The committee arrived in hopeful spirits, for at Niagara Valls they encountered hundreds of G. A. R. men on the way from New England w York to Detroit, aud the sentiment was unanimous in favor of Washington. Corporal ‘Tanner, who accompanied the com- mittee asa guest, received much attention from the New England Grand Army men and turned bjs popularity into account by making every man he met a worker for the Washington com- mittee. ARRANGING THE Wor! Commissioner Douglass and his associates on the committee held a brief meeting upon their arrival here and made details of work to be ac- complished today and tomorrow. The great parade is tomorrow and the encampment opens Wednesday. Thefquestion of the location of the — encainpment may besettled Wednesday next, but itisthought probable the vote will not be taken until ‘Thursday. State delegations are arriving to- day and their vote in the encampment on the question of location will be determined in pri- vate caucus before the meeting of the encamp- ment. Commissioner Douglass with members of the committee paid their respects today to Com- mander-in-chief Veazey and to many of the de- partment commanders. Mr. Douglass grows more hopeful every minute and his face fairly beams with enthusiasm. “It seems,” he said to Taz Srar correspond- that there can be no question but that Every one we AT GENERAL VEAZEY'S MEADQU General Veazey, commander-in-chief, arrived His headquarters had already a member of his staff.

The unanimity of sentiment in favor of Washington has been — surprising From the far western states and territories as well as the east, they ail want to 0 to Washington. It is Washington or bust. Fion’t think there is any question ubout it.” Col. Looker of the local committee, who has had to meet all the prominent Grand Army men coming in, told Tue Stan that the senti- ment, so far es it, had been expressed, was un- doubiedly in favor of Washington. With par- donably locul pride he remarked: ‘The en- campment never had a finer place to mect in than Detroit with ita broad and beauti- fal streets and fine parks. The only city that n equal it in this respect is Washington, and I believe every one appreciates that.” SOMETHING YOR WASHISGTOX. The correspondent of the New York Mail and Express here, who made a thorough canvass last night of the G. A. R. men, tele- graphed to his journal today that the iy- terest in the question of the location of the next encampment has subsided, as it is « foregone conclusion that Washington Will be chosen. ‘This is a disinterested opinion. It must not be supposed, however, that Wash- ington has no opposition. BOOMERS FOR MR. LIxcoLs. A delegation of fifty hustling. breezy boomers from Lincoln, Neb., got here today. They bave headquarters at the Russell House, where the Washington committee is located, and that house will bea most interesting place to visit during the next three deys. If any G. A. BR. man gets into the neighborhood and gets away aguin withoat wearing a Washington bad or having his pockets stuffed full of Lincoln literature he will have to accomplish it by ren- dering himself invisible. These Lincoln men are very active. Lincoln is pictured as the center of the rse. ‘They are backed by a subseription of nearly 210,000, and as against any other city but Washington would probably win. THE SILVER PLATE DOES THE BUSINESS. The Detroit Tribune this morning says under the heading “Washington Wins in a We “The silver platter has already done the busi- ness and Wanhington will got the next oncamp- ment ifthe representatives of that city con- tinue as they have begun. ‘The same paper, summing up the situation im another article, says: “In regard to the place of holding the next eneampment Wash- ington hos the pull. A crew of trained workers have been here for several days and have captured everything in sight for their city.

THE MECCA OF THE VETS. Old Soldiers Arriving by Thousands at De- troit. Dernorr, Micu., August 8.—The city of the straits has assumed a martial air today. The veterans of the G. A. R. are no longer arriving by the hundreds, but by the thoumnds, and every incoming train brings another throng to mingle with the multitude that already parades the streets. As the gala week of Detroit opens business is tically suspended and the tramp of the G. A. R. and the inspiring music of bands are heard on every hand. Gen. Wm. G. Veazey of Vermont, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., ar- rived this morning and bis headquarters at the Cadillac have been the Mecen of scarred and grizzled veterans throughout the fore- ompanied by Miss founder of John Taylor of Phil jatant Emery of Washington. The national ‘department adjutant general, J. H. Golding, and wife of Rutland, Vt., aro also at the adil: lac. The Vermont department headquarters are at the Cadillac and the Vermont department officers arrived with Gen. Veazey. D. L. Mor- gan of Rutland is the state department com- mander. The party numbers 100 men and 100 ladies. Maj. D. J. Safford, W. H. H. Stack of the Vermont governor's staff and Col. E. W. Jewett of Swanton are of the part Vermont favors Washington for the next en- campment. ‘ToMORKOW'S PARADE. The grand event of the encampment will be tomorrow's parade and it has been thought that that day would witness 200,000 visitors to the city. The arrivals thus far indicate that this expectation will be realized and the twenty- fifth national encampment will be the largest in the history of the organization. The growth of the G. A. R. within the past few years must be rapid indeed when each succceding encamp- ment is larger than the others. despite the constantly increasing death rate in the ranks. The Massachusetts contingent, numbering fully 500, arrived this forenoon, and their head- uarters are at the Cadillac, where Department Ccaumander A. A. Smith and Adjt. Gen. H. O. Moore warmly welcomed all visitors. In the headquarters car of this party were the department commander and ad- jutent, and Junior Vice E. W. Hull, A. E. Perkins and ©. S. Anthony, council of ad- ministration; W. A. Wetherbee, department in- spector, anti a large number of past department commands Fifty ladies accompanied this party and have headquarters in parlors. ‘T expect $,000 Massachusetts people here,” said Gen. Moore, “and 2,000 menin the parade. I don’t know what Massachusetts will do about the next commander and the place for the next encampment, but our delegates will be a unit.” It is understood that the Massachusetts dele- gation will bea unit for Washington as the place for the next encampment. LINCOLN MAKING A GOOD FIaRT. The rivalry is sharp between Wa: and Lincoln, Neb., and the latter city is mak- ing a much better fight for the next encamp- ment than was generally anticipated. 8. H. Morrison, department commander of in 1889, has a seat in the conventio and with many others will do what he can to get the next encampment to go to Lincoln, Neb. Lincoln, he says, is atown of only 55,000 people, but it claims it can give the G. A. K. as enthusiastic a reception as any city inthe country. Washington, how- ever, seems to have the strongest following and most delegates concede that it will get the next encampment. It has, been working for it se eral months and bus all details carefully ranged, have arrived over the Wabash in a special Pull- man car, the «“Lincoln.” ‘They have opened headquarters at the Russell House. The party includes President Oakley of the board of trade, Pual Vanderwoort, past national commander, and Governor Richards. They will present an invitation backed by a guarantee of $75.00, and their room will be filled with literature telling of the advantages which Nebraska's capital city will afford. FIGHT FOR COMMANDER-IN-CHIET. A special train from California bore Col. Wm. R. Smedburg, candidate for commander-in- chief, and forty or more of his ardent friends. They were followed by contingents from Colorado and Wyoming. Assistant Adjutant General P. L. McKinne of the Illinois department is here iz advance of his department. Ho thinks that bis state will contribute 10,000 people. Lin- coln, Neb., is his favorite place for the" next ‘encampment. He saya that 85,000 old soldiers in Kansas and 45,000 in Ne- braska are not members of the G. A. R. and are too poor to travel far to attend an encamp- ment. If there is not room in Lincoln the men can spread out upon the prairie. ‘The most prominent candidates for the posi tion-of commander-in-chief are A. G. Weissert of Milwaukee, Wis.; Col. Wm. R. Smedburg of San Francisco, Bvt. Brig. Gen. Samuel H. Hurst of Chillicothe, Ohio, and Col. C. P. Lin: coln of Michigan. Weissert was a prominent candidate for the ition a year ago and withdrew in favor of m. Veasey. He will probably get the support of Gen. Veasey's friends and is a strong candi- date. Col. Smedburg is probably the most enthusi- astic G. A. R. members on the Pacific coast. He has done much toward organizing and booming the G.A.R. in California and other Pacific states, and is very popular throughout the west. He is also a very energetic and enthusi- astic Loyal Logion man. Gen. Hurst is popularly known as “Fighting Sam,” and comes with the unanimous backing of the Ohio delegation. He is an active G A. man, and was an excellent department commander. He was colonel of the seventy - third Ohio infantry, and well deserves his title of “Fighting Sam.” One hundred and seventy men in his regiment were killed in action—the second heaviest proportion in Ohio regiments. Col. Lincoln ix a well-known Michigan man, who now holds the position of deputy commis sioner of pensions. He will get the unanimous support of Michigan and may get support from castern states. In addition to the above candidates have been mentioned the names of Gen. H. A. Bar- num of New York city, Gen. John Palmer of Albany and Gen. John’ M. Hedges of Haver- straw, N.Y. ‘They are all from the same state and will possibly divide between them on the first ballot the fifty votes of New York. WILL MAKE A FIGHT OX THE COLOR LINE. Cmrcao, August 3.—Among the delegations to the Grand Army encampment at Detroit ar- rived in the city yesterday was that of the De- partment of the Louisiana and Mississippi. Comrade A. 8. Graham and others of the delegates say in published inter- views that they are going to Detroit to make an issue on the exclusion of negroes from the Grand Army ranks, and they declare that unless their demand is acceded to they will withdraw from the organization. ‘They say they expect to have an animated opposi- tion from northern posta. Mr. Graham gives the origin of the trouble as follows: ONIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. ‘The Grand Army posts of Louisiana and Mississippi have always refused to grant char- ters for negro poste on the ground that the G. A Risa pratt pennies ‘and has power to restrict its membership to those who are agreeable in a social sense to its members. ‘This policy was ied until about the time of the death of Jeff. Davis.

Preparing for the State Convention at Springfield on Wednesday. Spnrxorieiy, O10, August 3.—Preparations are going on ona large scale for the state con- vention of the people's party in this city this week. Itis said that the convention will be presided over by a woman, Mrs. Stevens, on ‘the stafY of the Toledo Bee. It is expected that nearly every county in the state will be represented.

Lovrevinne, Ky., August 3—The voting is proceeding quietly all over Kentucky, with in- dications that the proposed constitution, against whieh a strong fight has be made, will be ratified by a very large majority, and that the plurality for Brown and the other democratic nomineos will be between 30.000 and 50,000.

Y., August $3.—Newton Baker, the private secretary of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who was shot three times on Satur- day night by Orville M. Anderson during a quarrel, was still alive at noon today. He is very much weaker, however, and his bysicians, Dr. Acker qf __ Croton, Be''Helm of Sing Sing and’ Dr. Content of Tarrytown have only faint hopes of his re- covery. They say that few men wounded Baker is would survive as long as he has. ‘The worst wound of the three was made by the bullet which passed through both of Baker's lungs. The bullet went entirely through his body, entering at the left breast and coming at the right armpit. Baker grew steadily weaker all.this forenoon and if he continues to sink he may not live through the day. Orville M. Anderson, who dia the shooting, was this morning arranigned for examination before Coroner Sutton. ‘The coroner, after listening to the testimony of the witness, who told substantially the same story as that which has already been published, com- mitted Anderson to jail to await the re- sult of Baker's injuries. Anderson will have an examination at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. He tells the same story he told yes- terday. “He acts cool and composed, altho clearly he realizes tho extent of tho decd he committed. Today he inquired with much concern about Baker's condition, and when told that he was still alive seemed much re- lieved. He appears to be much cast down over the prospect of Baker's death, ‘The tragedy has lost none of its absorbin interest for the people hereabouts, | Every one is talking about it.

Herxpox, Va., July 31, 1891. A number of Herndon people bent on having @ good time were out inall their glory last Wednesday. The occasion being a joint picnic of the three Herndon Sunday schools to Grange Camp, considerable pains were taken to make ita memorable one. Among the many other interesting events prepared by the committees from the several schools were the athletic sports. The prizes awarded were: First prize, blue and pink ribbons daintily tied in a bow knot; second prize, a red ribbon also neatly and artistically tied. ‘These sports were opened by a 10-yard dash, the first prize being won by C. E. Yount, athlete, and the second prize by P. Starr. In the junior 100-yard dash the winners wero W. Blanchard, first, and W. Simonds, second. ‘The most amusing of the sports were the three- legged races. Tho senior race was won by C. E’fount and Starr, frst; Taylor and Town, ‘second. The junior race was won by White and Roy, first; W. Blanchard and Simonds, second. In the senior standing broad jump Ballou was go closely contested by Buckler that it was a difficult matter to decide the winner, but it finally resulted in Ballou receiying first prize and Buckler second. ‘The winners of the junior standing broad jump were H. Bready, first, and W. Blanchard, second. Another tight contest was. the senior running high jump, resulting in Taylor gotting first prize and Buckler second. The first prize of the junior running high jump was won H. Bready, and Roy received second prize. E. Yount again defeated his opponents; in the senior 100-yard hurdle race he beat Starr, the winner of the second prize, by almost eight feet. ‘The junior 100-yard burdle ended in receiving first prize and Simonds second. “The tug-of-war between the two sides chosen by Yount and Starr was highly exciting, and had not Yount slipped his side would probably have won, but os it was Mr. H. W- Blanch ard, who acted as judge in all the sports,awarded the prize to Starr'sside. THE COURTS.

SEVERAL REAL ESTATE OWNERS AND DEALERS GIVE THEIR OPINIONS A$ TO THE WORTH OF SOME OF THE PARCELS OF GROUND TAKEN BY ‘THE PARK COMMISSIONERS. The commission—Mossrs. James L. Norris, George J. Seufferle and N. W. Burcheli—to ap- praise the Rock Creek Park grounds resumed its sessions in the Circuit Court room this morning. ‘Mr. Perry said that in view of the fact that unless summoned now it may be difficult to se- cure the attendance of real estate experts and Suggested that they be summoned now. Mr. Wilson objected, claiming that this wasn novel proposition and not within .their- power. Mr. Perry said that he proposed that the com- mission should do just what was proposed, and on this point he read the instructions. Mr. Lambert, Wm. Stone Abert and others ey for the owners. commission declired to act on the sug- gestion. NOT A REAL ESTATE EXPERT. Mr. Reginald Fendall was called by Mr. Abert in behalf of T. Blagden, and testified that he was not a real estate expert, but had his gpinion as to the value of the Blagden iand. fe had been connected with the Ingleside, of which a sie was made in December, 1890, after six months negotiation. It became his duty to ascertain values of property in that section. He regarded the twenty-four acres as worth 24,000 to $5,000 per acre. Ingleside was put up for sule in 1888 or 1889, and the highest bid was $156,800 for the seventy acres and it was bid in by the famil; a On cross-examination by Mr. Perry Mr. Fendall said the house was worth $15, to $20,000 and was surrounded by fine old trees and lawn. A portion of Mr. Blagden’s was desirable for villa sites, and for that pur- Pose would be worth 10 to 15 cents per foot if subdivided into quarter-acre sites. By Mr. Wilson—The negotiations for the sale of Ingleside to Chapin Brown were begun in June of last year and consummatedin December. There were no contracts, but an offer was made. ‘The commission overruled the offer as to the price paid. Mr. Benj. P. Davis wascalled as to the 240- acre tract of Mr. Shoemaker and testitied he went over the tract on Saturday on horseback and foot and in his a the most advan- tageous use to which it could be put was to divide it for building sites. He regarded that east of the creek worth £1,600 per acre and the west side at $1,000 per acre. In this ho did not consider the value of the creek for water power. On cross-examination witness said he had been in Rosemont, There were some villas in Woodley Park. DR. KLINGLE RECALLED. Dr. J. P. Klingle was recalled and testified the price he received for that within the Zoo ‘Was not its true value, but below it, and he had some other considerations on making the sale. The California syndicate had bought along Connecticut avenue extended. His property had been in the market since 1886, and when the question came up it formed an obstacle to the fale; and it had affected wales and the im- "heer spate There were no buildings at Oak View, Cleveland Heights, Petworth or Whitney Close. The impravements were in Kalorama, Washington Heights. There was no property which compares with Rock Creck. For his own use he would not exchange one acre for two acres in any other tract. After recess Mr. Klingls valued the Blagden property at $3,000. On cross-examination witness said he had sold to the zoo for $1.500 per acre. In Septem- ber last for a tract of sixty acres he considered “Proposition for 1,750, but it was not the value. In July, 1890. he offered it at $2,000, but the park project defeated it. Mr. Perry said after a statement by Mr. Lambert said he would withdraw what had been testified to as to the amount paid Mr. Klingle for the Zoo land. An exception was noted to the refasal to receive Mr. Fendall’s testimony as to the price paid for Ingleside. JOHN SAUL's TESTIMONY. John Saul testified that the valley of Rock creek was the most verdant «pot of vegetation he had known in the county. Every known species of wood and plant of the south are there. There were some unique trees and plants among them, ‘purple beeches and clinfers and were they his he would not take §: apiece. On cross-examination he said the purple beeches were not on the tract. Redirect—The value of the the ops was more than the land, and it could not be got together for €1,000,000. Millions had been expended on Central Park, which was notacircumstance to what nature has here su) d to order. ir. Lansdale of the parking commission corroborated what Mr. Saul said, but_ placed a higher value on some of the trees. There were sixty to seventy species of trees. W. G. Duval! testified as to water power, that he had examined the creek through Mr. Shoe- makers’ tracts and taken Gen. Meig’s calcula- tion there was 238 horse power on the tracts and 80 per cent of it could be utilized. There tation within ‘were 19,000,000 6 flow per day and 3,000,- 000 oe day could beelevated to the highest poin MISS BLAINE’S CONDITION. She is Somewhat Weaker This Afternoon— Consciousness Not Fully Eegained. At a Inte hour this afternoon the condition of Miss Blaine, who was injured on Saturday last by being thrown from a carriage, had not improved; in fact, it was stated at the house that she was somewhat weaker than yesterday. She has not yet fully regained consciousness. This afternoon her mind seemed brighter, how- ever and she complained of the noises in the street. It was thought best to stop travel in front of the house, and this afternoon a rope was stretched ut each end of the street. DISTRICE GOVERNMENT. BUILDING PERMITS were issued today as follows: W. H.

Scattered here and there are ranges and peaks of the Blue Ridge, with more level and cultivated intervals, with farm houses and extensive peach orchards and vineyards. We are camped in a lovely forest of young chestnut trees. All the timber ou these moun- tains was cut down during the war to give free range to the batterics that crowned their eum- mits and to prevent the unobserved approach ofanenemy. These ragged, decaying stumps tel the story of blasting war. The young, vigor- ous, clean-limbed chestnuts, with their mautles of Ray green leaves, are a record of ki ce. Of these young trunks are as a man's body, and it seems hardly pos sible to one who took an active part in the war that they have all grown since its close.

It isan idy], it is unwritten poetry. We rise in the morning whenever we like, our simple bri fast is cooked with dry cedar, a little fire b between two flat stones, the smoke of w rises like incense. The smoke of a camp fire is delightful, notwithstanding it has a provoking way of drifting into 8 eyes, no matter which way the wind blows. One| comes near to nature while leading sucha hfe. The many tools, the conveniences and luxuries, by whic! we are surrounded in our highly civilized life, dull the inventive faculties. One is placed here in positions where he wonders what a stone age man ora Swiss lake dweller would do under like circumstances. The round in the tent made a hard bed the leaves we packed on it did not hel ters but a little while.

A long dreary storm comes on and for da: the rain pours down without abatement, t stones are slippery, the wood is soaked and will not burn, the cook, whoever he or she may be, is cross, an affection which becomes epidemic, the trees rain while the clouds are resting, and there is mud abundant and pastry everywhere. Hations run low and we are confined within our narrow wulls until life becomes irksome. Under uch circumstances if there is any profanity in man it is apt to ooze to the surface. But such weather is the exception, and this tent is strong and tight and not a drop of water has ever come through it. In short, camping out is a most agreeable and healthful change for those who live in cities, a mode of life that in very many ways is preferable to that in country boarding houses or summer resorts. CTs. — ALEXANDRIA, Coroner Purvis held an inquest today at De- maine’s undertaking establishment on King street near Alfred stregs upon the body of Richard Collins, a colored employe of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company, employed with the repair gang in Alexandria county. Collins, who lived at the corner of Alfred and Prmcess streets, while on the track of the Washington and Ohio road near the double bridge about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, was run over by the incoming train and one of his lege nearly severed from his bod: the other leg and his right orm being also terribly mangled. He was brought into town and carried to the Alexandria In- firmary, where it was thought that an amputa- tion of three limbs would be needed to save bis life. but it was soon found even that desperate treatment would be unavailing, as the shock and loss of blood had been too great. His pains were eased by medical skill, but nothing could save his life and he died about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The jury found a verdict of accidental death. TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE. ‘The Peabody Institute for colored teachers will open tonight at Peabody Hall, Mayor Strauss delivering an address on the occasion.
