It was cham- pioned by Mr. Tingwold in the affirmative and Mr. Wolverton in the negative. After the opening speeches there were several readings by J. A. Keenan. Each selection was followed by vociferous applause, and it was with great reluctance that the audience permitted him to leave the stage. After this the debate con- tinued, Messra.

Stewart had been drinking, and when the town of Bladens- burg was reached he did not know where he wanted to go. The driver returned with him to the city, and at 2 a.m. the corner of New Jersey avenue and C street was reached. Stewart, it was charged, failed and refused to pay the cab bill, and when he had some words with the driver Policeman Creagis arrested him. collateral was left AT COLONIAL BEACH. The Third Battalion Are Having = Good Time at Camp Harrison. INSPECTED AND REVIEWED BY COL. mooRE— CEPTION BY MRS. HARRISON—COMPANY B's HOP. Camp Harzisox, Coroniat Bracu, Va., August 9, 1891. Correspondence of The Evening Star. After Tux Stan report closedon Friday even- ing Col. Moore arrived in camp. The third battalion being one of the three battalions of the first regiment, Col. Moore held an inspec- tion of quarters and afterward reviewed the battalion. He expressed himself as-highly pleased with the result. He was careful, also, tocommend the dress parade as most highly creditable. He left on the George Leary for Washington the same evening. Mrs. Harrison received the officers of the battalion at ber pretty place, the gift of Maj. Harrison. The reception was attended in a body and a most enjoyable evening was spent. ‘The guests distributed themselves through the house and grounds, the majority being congre- gated on the front’ porch. refreshment which were served early, were of an exception: character. Several of ‘th gentlemen highly praised the product of the major’s mint Singing was indulged in until alate hour, the solos of Mrs. Costinet and Mrs. Weaver being exceptionally fine. Atalate hour good ni ppearance in court, and he ap- peared this morning for trial. Judge Hiarper fined him $20 for carrying a Pistol and required him to pay the cabman $3. pistons Street Names. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Occasionally a Washingtonian gets his let- ters a day or so delayed with marks “not s.w. orn.w.” onthe back of them. This comes from the sender neglecting to put the section of the city on the address, or maybe carelessly directing it to the wrong section, and the whole ie due in the first place to the fact that there are actually four houses of the same number and same named street, though in different quar- ters of the city. This must be the source of a great deal of trouble to the postal delivery. Washington is not so large that she needs to duplicate the names of her streets, and she is rge that this repetition of names creates a deal of annoyance. The present system unbusinesslike and ought to be done away With entirely. This could be done without changing the present name of any street or al- tering the number of e, with the Yeast 3 street ¥ the following reets in the north- "those in the south- uuseways,” those in the south- ys,” lewving those in the northwest as they are at present, “streets.” ‘Then let aud 2d streets northeast will be known ee Ist and 2d avenues, Aand B streets south- ast will become causeways A and B, Ist and2d streets southeast will be ist and 2d roadways. The streets in the northwest, the largest part of the city, will not be changed. The capitals N.W. can be done with and N.E., &c.,will no longer be the the fruitful source’ of con- fasion. PF.

ANOTHER SHAM BATTLE. There was another sham battle, ona larger scale than the last. The colors and the drum corps were taken out. After some time Capt. Weber's command ran out of ammunition and was forced to withdraw. As the companies Were marching back to the camp one of Capt. Weber's scouts was observed to have been cut off and he was immediately chased. Fox-like, he made for some swampy ground, covered with willows, and plunged in. His pursuers followed and soon the scout was discovered and grappled with by Sergt. Greenwood and thrown. Even then it took several men to disarm him. Sergt. Greenwood marched his prisoner back tocamp. Both were the color of mother earth from collar to ankle. On Friday night the guard hada job on their hands of no small proportions. A party of men were on the outskirts of camp and annoy- ing the camp in every possible way. Missiles of every kind were thrown. When pursued by the guard they would scatter and get away. One by one they were captured, the last being caught on the wharf and scared by a volley of blank ammunition. With the whole gang in the “jug” Corp. Gorbett was able to rest easier. No further disturbance was made. SOCIAL FEATURES. Owing to the fact that some of the officers are accompanied by their wives and the ladies are for the most part acquainted @ more en- joyable time has been the result. Mrs. Costi- it, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Columbus came down with the boys and will remain until cam is broken. Mrs. Columbushas Miss Baker wit her. Among the other ladies that have been down to spend a little time near the camp are Miss Hamilton, with Mrs. Warren, Mrs. Bresna- Mrs. Greenwood, Mra. Glover and Mra. Weller. Most of the party go in bathing every day together. An interesting party who fre- quent the beach at these times are Capts. Costi- nett and Robinson, with Mrs. Costinett. Mrs. Kobinson is not fond of the salt water and usually remains on shore an interested spec- tetor. Skylarking is indulged in. They are no Tespecters of persons. THE Star correspondent was surprised with a ducking at the hands of Mise Beker and 3lise Columbus, which compli- ment was not returned. Lieut. and Mra. Bres- nahan spend an hour in the water each day, and judging from their actions seem to enjoy them- selves. ‘The stay of all has been most pleasant, and now that it is drawing to aclose regrets are expressed that it could not continue longer. ‘he personal relations of the participants in the camp has been necessarily close. NOT A SHIRE IX CAMP. It must be said for the credit of the third battalion that the dispositions developed by the men are, on close observation, the best. There is not a shirk in camp, although one chronic grumbler was sent home by Capt. Weber. ‘the prompt action of this company commander gave a salutary lesson. The com- missary has more than fulfilled the promise of the early week and nothing could have been better. ‘The men to whom this credit is due are Capts. Myers and Suess, quartermaster and commissary, respectively, Sergt. Swigart and Chief Cook’ C. Baird. Mr. Baird has handled his department in the best style. ‘The men are £0 well pleased that they will allow the above mentioned to wear a white suit without sharing the fate of Lieut. Warren. Another man who comes in for commendation is Private King of the Merchant Kifles, who acts as chief of the kitchen police. Mr. King received an official documeat purporting to come from the court citing him to appear and answer to the charge of being a horse thief. It was subsequently found to bea joke. Mr, King has a weakness for hiring bull teams and running them into a fence in his attempts to drive them. ‘Mr. Hamilton has been the guest of Capt. Mabany. Mr. Hamilton's son is Capt. bany’s first sergeant. Sergts, Tom Kelly and Harlow have visitors in the persons of Mr. John White, who served in the thirteenth New York, company A, and J. C. Maller of the one hundred and twenty- eighth Pennsylvania, first lieutenant compday G. There was, some dificulty in getting the fag up at reveille yesterday and Private Hagan climbed the pole and set the matter right. MASQUERADERS IN CAMP. A number of the camp assembled last night as masqueraders, and the costumes were some- thing wonderful. Having had time to mature their plans the costumes were most elaborate. ‘The most startling was that of “Capt. Jack” Rovinson, and was the design of Mra. Robin- son. What it was Tue Stax correspondent was not able to determine, but the captain was swallowed up in the general gorge of color. He received several invitations later in the evening from various cottagers to come and ex- hibit Limself. Capt. Simmons wore a woman's costume, with a tasteful bonnet made of an old bathing hat, trimmed with red. The effect was excellent. ‘Knockey intended to shave off his mustache and borrow the only cavalry uniform in camp. He finally thought better of it and rigged himself out in a fearful aud wondertul manner in a bathing suit of Capt. Simmons’. ‘The adjutant wore # variegated red costume, and promptly upon his appearance wus seized and bucked by pergt.Greenwood aud Tue Stag correspondent. He chased his persecutors about half a mile, but could not succeed in catching up with them. After parading about for a ume and visiting various places the en- tire party was called im and royally entertained by Mr. Sherman. Everybody had a good time and it was a very merry party. Even the guards were remembered and refreshments sent them. Mr. Sherman has been unceasing in his kindness to the battalion, as has been every one else here. Nothing but’ the highest praise can be given. COMPANY B's HOP. Company B gave a hop at the pavilion last night. A piano was borrowed from the hotel and carried to the pavilion. A large party gathered and dancing was kept up until the ar- rivalof the boat. The floor committee was Corporals Andre and Phebus and Private Leh- man. Private Flood supplied the music. At a meeting of the officers Capt. M. Ma- hany was elected chairman and Tug Sta cor- respondent secretary, and the, following reso- lutions were adopted: 1. Resolved, That in view of the success of the camp the attention of the general com- manding be called thereto and he be requested tocontinue the same for the term of eight days. 2 Resclved, That the battalion, leaves = regret the people who have so kindly sj ho eiforte to further the ‘undertaking, and the measure of whose kindness is the success of .e cau 3. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the commanding general of the nilitia and furnished Tux Evexina Bran for for publication. A Brahma Bull for the Zoo. The Zoological Park has received an interest- ing addition to its collection in a sacred Brahma bull, which has been presented by Hon. John H. Starin, ex-member of Congress from New York. It was one of his fine Zoological collee- tion at Glen Island, N.Y. The interest in this animal, which is known as the Brahma bull or zebu (bos indicus), lies i A BAKER'S SUICIDE. ‘Mr, Adam Koehler Hangs Himself in His Stable. Mr. Adam Koehler, an old citizen of South Washington, committed suicide yesterday by hanging himself in the stable loft in rear of his house, No. 417 6th street, and when found his body was cold and rigid, indicating that he had died several hours before. The deceased was a baker and conducted his business at his home, where he resided many years. He got up early yesterday morning and fed the horses as usual. When he went to the stable he carried with him a piece of clothes line, but as the hour was so early no one saw him, nor would they have suspected anything wrong if they had seen him. A His wife heard him feeding the horses, and after performing this duty he climbed the ladder to the loft and hanged himself from one of the rafters. There was no hitch in the fhastly ceremonies and it probably took him ut a few minutes to do the work. Both ends ol the rope were tied to a large rusty nail and twisted often enough to prevent slipping. This was evidently done while the suicide stood upon a ladder, and after putting a double loop about his neck’ he pushed the ladder from under him and the fall pressed the rope into his neck and no doubt caused almost instant death. Mr. Koebler’s absence from the house was noticed, but no attention was paid to it, as such a thing as harming himself was never thought of by any member of the eat About noon, when Louis Koehler, the only son of the deceased, had occasion to go to the stable loft, he made the horrible discovery and word was sent to the police. Lieut. Vernon soon responded and cut down the body. Coro- ner Patterson was notified and he gave a cer- tificate of death in accordance with the tacts. ‘The cause of the suicide is not known unless it was that business troubles preyed upon hig mind o that he was driven insane. He had spoken of business troubles several times, but no one ever thought he would seck rest in the grave in the manner in which he did. Mr. Koehler was sevonty years old. He was born in Germany and has lived in this country nearly fifty years. He has beon in business in this city since 1877. Private funeral ceremonies will be held at the THE EVENING 'sTaR: WASHINGTON. One Man Killed Outright and Another Be- Heved to Be Fatally Injured. This morning shortly after 6 o'clock » Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad train while passing over the railroad tracks near Four-mile Run on its way to this city struck a brick wagon in which two men were seated, and did as much damage as possible, with the exception that one of the men was not dead when picked up. The men were James Nicholson, white, and Robert Lee, colored. The former's home is in Stafford county, Va, and Lee lived in Fredericksburg. They had boen here some time and were employed as drivers of brick wagons for the brick company on the Virginia side of the river. This morning they got their teams out early, ss naual.and attempted to drive acrose the rail- road track just asthe train came around the curve. The train was due here at 6:35and on ac- count of the heavy grade near Four-mile Run the engineer had just put on a good head of steam and was making fast time to get over the in- cline without any difficulty. NO CHANCE FOR THEIR LIVES. Both horses were on the track when the train struck the team, and it came upon them so suddenly that the men did not have a chance to make a leap for their lives. The engineer saw them and he reversed his engine, but it was, of course, too late, and in an instant the colored man was hurled into eternity. Both horses were also instantly killed and Nicholson was so rightfully injured that it is feared he will di e top of Lee's head was taken off and his legs and body were horribly mangled. Nicholson received a compound fracture of the left leg, several ribs were broken and he wi also badly injured ubout the head. The train struck the team with such force that the fragments of the wagon as well as of human and horse flesh were scattered some distance along the track. The train stopped and pushed back to tho scene of the terrible accident. The trainmen lifted the lifeless body of the colored man from beside the track and pt it in a baggage car, while the almost life- less body of Nicholson was placed on a tempo- rary bed and also brought to this city. He was removed to Providence Hospital as svon as pos- house this afternoon and the body will bo taken to New York tonight for interment. jaan Ts THE ORDWAY RIFLES. Fair Weather and Fine Times for the District Soldiery. Correspondence of The Eveninx Star. Camp CAMPBELL, Hanren's Ferry, W. Va., August 8, 1891. The weather scems to have permanently cleared and it is sincerely hoped that before the Ordways’ return to Washington there will not be suficient rain to justify the continuation of the many nic-names by which the company have been going for the past few days. It was no easy task for Sergt. Carpenter to get the boys up this morning, two-thirds of them hav- ing been at the dance until the very small hours of the morning. After one of the finest break- faste the guard was mounted. Wm. 8. Carpen- ter was the corporal of the guard and Privates Gilbert, Hawes, McGowan, Orrison, Jackson and Hodges were his sentinels. Guard mount over the company assembled for drill and the improvement of the company in this line is wonderful. As the boys get better acquainted the crowds to witness the drills become larger. ‘The firings Co pen have always been excel- lently execute SCATTERING FOR AMUSEMENTS. . Immediately after a drill it is amusing to see the fellows strike off in different directions. Half a dozen will make # break for the hotel parlor, where they will entertain by their songs, &c., a majority of tho ladies. Others take a direct line for the Shenandoah for a swim; others race all the way down town to see who caught the best horse. In other words, it is almost impossible to find an Ordway within the limits of Camp Campbell after drill and before dinner, and after dinner and before drill, with the exception of the corporal of the guard and his eqntinels. But even though they are all out of camp never yet has a man been known to missa drill. Capt. Williams bas the men so disciplined fhat with only a few very simple rules he keeps them perfectly within his control. ‘The drill in the afternoon, although the white ducks were not worn on account of nearly half of them being in the wash, was a most satis- factory one, aud many of the residents say that it was the finest they ever saw. GOING To BE PHOTOGRAPHED. The photographer of Island Park will be up tomorrow morning and will photograph the company in a body and will also take several messes individually, such as the Fanctans, the Geraniums, &. ‘The Geraniums’ mess con- sists principally of the ladies’ men and is ex- ceedingly popular. It is proposed that a large number of horses be secured tomorrow mening and thata sort of cavalry march be mide from here up to Ratling Springs, where the company has. re- ceived an invitation. Last evening at supper the old Summit House certainly did ring with cheers. ‘The company marched in and just before the command “take chairs” (for they do everything but eat by the numbers up here) Capi. Williams stepped forward and asked for “three cheers for our friends of the Summit House.” There an In show in town, but that was the first time that the people ever heurd a yell like the Or ways gave. The cheers being over the captain asked for the company yell, which was imme- dintely responded to by thirty strong voices in this manner: Cae D, four B ere bat- tation), D.C. N. G., Rab! Rah! ih! Rat-tat- tat, rat-tat-tat, Ordway, sis, boom, ah! The yell was given in perfect unison and took very well. All the girls are saying company D, four B, this evening. ‘Copeland has not been very weil for a day or 80, but he still continues to be the funny ‘His ailment is not at all serious, und there is no doubt that he will be able to run about as much as the next one tomorrow. Copeland has healthy rival in Perkins as the funny man, and the feliows on both sides of either of them at the table find it exceedingly ditlicult to finish eating in time. Coporal Espey has not been feeling in the best of health, but with @ little rest he will be all right. ibe boys are beginning to realize that the time for their departure ix drawing near, and are taking advantage of every opportunity to have fun. A large crowd of them went over to the Hill Top House last night. About twenty-five of the company serenaded Mr. Jno. Chambers of this place last night about 11 o'clock. Tuey were handsomely rewarded by Mr. Chambers in the shape of cigars, refresh- ments, &o. MF. LL a The Fish Market. The report of Inspector Harris for last week sholws the arrivals at the river front of the fol- lowing: 7,999 bunches of various fish, 3,050 Spanish mackerel, 51 carp, 22 sturgeon, 4 sea turtles, 900 bushels of oysters, 159,000 clams, 43,200 crabs, 17,000 watermelons and 69,000 canteloupes. Among the condemnations were 283 bunches of fish, 23,200 clams and 16,700 crabs. : Sea Does This Hold Here? To the Editor of The Evening Star: Dees this decision hold good in this city? Judge McAdims of York recentiy made a de- cision which is of wideand general interest. He de- fined @ nuisance to be anything that is ‘hurtful and Yexatious; that aiscurbs happiness and impairs or pre- Yentsenjoyment;and that causes displeasure, «ives pain, or produces unpleasant sensations." Under so liberal a definition of the offense, the operatic: n of the law would seem capable of a inuch larger aud more varied application than ts usual. If the above decision is applicable to this city, why don’t our authorities enforce the law and abate the nuisance existing throughout the city in the way of long-standing and full swill barrels, manure pits, &c., &¢., exposed to the sweltering sun's rays?

Important Action Taken by the Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society. An informal reception was offered a number of the members of the late convention of the National Union who have remained over at the regular meeting of the Father Mathew Total Abstinence Society at Carroll Hall last night. Last night's meeting was a most important one and the action taken far reaching. Last week number of the members most interested in the temperance cause in the various societi in the arch-diocese of Baltimore met to discuss plans for the formation of a union taking in all societies in the arch-diocese which owe alle- giance to the National U: McGee of Washingtonand Rev. Fathers Scanian of Chicago and Tiernan of Pittsburg were active promoters of the plan. Cardinal Gibbons, it was maid, highly approved tho plan. The meeting [ast week finally decided that a call be issued to all societies eligible to membership requesting them to each send three delegates to a joint convention for the purpote, to be held in Washington the second junday in September. At last night's meeting the question of a ¢. pany of Visitors. The attendance upon the regular meeting of Porseverance Lodge of Good Templars last Saturday evening was much larger than usual and included visitors from the other lodges, as well as the grand chicf templar, who compli. mented the lodge very highly upon its profi cient exposition of the ritual during the initia- tory ceremonies and invited the lodge to join ina reception to Dr. 0. M. Whitney, the ro- turning delegate from the Edinburgh session of the R. W. Grand Lodge. The informal and en- Joyable reception tendered the new initiates and the many visitors was followed by a bus! ness session, during which the ways and means committee was instructed torecommend a plan under which the lodge may occasionally in as meet receive, entertain and interest in Good Templar work the general public. The committee on licenses purpose to lay before the People information received from the business men of Philadelphia in regard to the effect of saloons epen the value of adjacent property. ‘The social session which followed was desig- nated in the official program as “Ladies Sur- prise,” and the “surprise,” as well as the enter- tainment, was exceedingly enjoyed. Mrs. Jen- nie W. Frear was master of ceremonies. ‘The triumphal entry was succeeded by the cuttin; of the monster cake, which, in the success wit! which the real contents were hi 1, a the perfection of the confectioner’s art. The choice musical and literary contributions were in gen- eral keeping with the spirit of the meeting and light refreshments proved an acceptable addi- tion to the ertainment. Next Saturday will lars’ vi i Alma Lyons, being attendance of each chi aud arranged for an evening of especial inter- est. HANDICAP TENNIS. ‘The Heat Materially Interfered With Good Playing on Saturday; The first round of the handicap ciub tourns- ment of the Bachelors’ Tennis Club was played off Saturday afternoon on the courts of the club at the corner of 17th and P streets north- west. There wasa vory small attendance, al- though no admission fee was charged, owing to the intense heat. The weather interfered largely with the style of the play and reduced the vigor of the contestants to the last limit. The greatest surprise of the day was the defeat of Davidson, the District champion, by Kennon Peter, who wasgiven a handicap of 15 and 1 bisque. Peter played in his best form and won two sets in succession, 10-8, 6-2. Boag was defeated by Walter Peter, playing even, 6-4, 6-2. Sheibley astonished himself and his friende by downing Woodward, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Sheibley had 15 ani Woodward'2 bisques. Prince beat Painter by default. Painter was ill but he pluckily started the match with 15 against him. Prince won the first set, 6-4, and the game stood 5-0 in favor of Prince when Painter gave up. This completed the play of the first division and brought the winners out to play as follows in the first round: Prince va. Walter Petr, the former getting 15, and Sheibley vs. Kennon Peter, the latter getting 1 bisque. THE SECOND DIVISION. In the second division the play was also com- pleted in the preliminary round. McCawley, giving McClurg 80 and @ bisques, won by the score of 6-2,6-8. Then Chilton beat Lyor, who had 16 in his favor, by tho same score, 6-2, union was thoroughly discussed, especially by dames F. Judge, national organizer, and Mr. Wm. Mulhearn of Auguste, Ga., both gentl men being enthusiastic over the plan of a united organization. ———— LINCOLN 48 A RAIL SPLITTER, Testimony Gathered From People Who Knew Him in His Youth. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In Tux Stan of last Saturday appeared an article, copied from the Indianapolis Journal, headed, “Lincoln Split No Rails,” in which the writer declares that all tho stories so freely in- dulged in, especially during the presidential contest of 1860, that Lincoln made rails ineurly life, were mere myths, only told to affect his political and personal advancement, and were untruthful in every particular. The writer in the beginning says: ‘Lincoln City, a small vil- lage in Spencer county, Ind., was for four years the home of Abraham Lincoln's parents whon he was growing up,” &c.. &c. Mr. Lincoln's parents moved into’ that new and sparsely wet tled country in 1817 from Kentucky, when Abraham was eight years old. The following year Mrs. Lincoln died and was buried out in the woods, with no tablet to nark her last rest- ing place.’ Soon the widower, Lincoln, Thomas, returned to Kentucky and marricd'a second wife and came with her to his home in Indiana, where the entire family continued to reside up to 1830, when they moved to Macon county, IL, Abraham being then twenty-one years old. ‘They did not in Lincoln City, Ind., f years, for there was no such town in for many years after the fumily had state, but their home was exclusively “out in the Wilderness,” where for thirteen years Thomas Lincoln and bis son, Abraham: did, apparently, as best they could, all that good citwens, poor and, in most respects, illiterate, would be expected to do to build up and sus. tain an honorable and worthy name in the com- munity in which they bad cast their lot. In February of 1872 I was in attendance at the state republican convention Indianapolis, and met at the Bates House at that time a go: tleman whose name I can’t recall, who was resident of Spencer county. He ‘came there soon after ‘the Lincolns left. This gentleman had served two terms as treasurer of that county, having been elected first in 1860, and was a candidate before the convention where I was in attendance for state treasurer and only lacked a few votes of a nomination. He mea taan of splendid personal appearance and of the highest character. He told me that all of the older citizens of his locality when be came there were well acquainted with Abraham Lin- coln, Instead of being “an awkward, indolent and apparently unambitious boy,” he was a studious, industrious and thoughtful young man, whose habits were unexceptiouably gout There were but few book» wehin bis reach while ne lived there, but he managed to borrow or buy, these and catefully peruse them. This gentleman informed me that many of hisneigh- bors saw Abraham Lincoln makiug rails, cut- ting cord wood and doing other manual work. He was also gifted asa cabinet maker, having made quite respectable book cases and other household furniture, which this gentleman hed frequently ween. in August of 1360 I went to Springfield, Il, to a Republican mass meeting As I approached Mr. Lincoln's house @ vast procession way passing, and the wide street running in front of that building was packed as fur as one coula see either way with ople. Mr. Lincoln stood by the side of his Bock facing the street, eight or ten feet above the sidewalk. In front of the place where he stood, not ten feet away, were two high stone gate posts rounded off at the top, and upon one of the several gentlemen were elevating the rotund form of Jchn Hanks, aconsinof Lincoln. ‘This Hanke was « big, burly fellow. All manner of questions were put to him, some wise and some not so wise. In the talk with Hanks Lineoln took a hand. Hanks was asked, I remember distinctly, if he ever split rails with “Old Abo,” and he said he had, as well as cut cord wood. He said he had always been a democrat, but he was going to vote for his cousin that time, for he had worked with him and been with him many years and knew that he was honest and reliable. 1 stood in Mr. Linooln’s house that day from 9 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon and saw the procession as it continued towend its way along, anditscemed almostevery other wagon that passed was drawing a big log and men were on it making rails. I'never saw so much rail splitting in all my life eleewhere as Iwit on that occasion. ‘There was no one in the whole of that vast assemblage that doubted that Mr. Lincoln made rails, both in Indiana aswell as in Llinois, and I never heard or saw the apparently universal belief in his having done so doubted or disputed until this which appeared in Tux Stax last Saturday. It is too late in the day to attempt toov. ‘and destroy so well authenticated afactas the one under consideration. That Mr. Lincoln made rails there can be no doubt, Siemenrten comet ate meee it ways or maintain the contrary will ouly bring theauthor into ridicule and contempt. _C. G. PowaLb.

On the opposite side of the street a short distance from the stgting point the team collided with a tree box and the fright- ened children were thrown forcibly against the reservoir wall, All who witnessed the accident expected to see three maimed children, but fortunately. owing to their cartilagenous build, they bounded like rubber balls and came down uninjured with the exception of a few slight bruises. One child had his clothes a good deal torn, but escaped entirely bodily injury. REMOVING THE HAY SCALES.

A LOST RIVER Where It is. According to the Los Angeles Herald the ‘the sands of the region just this side of Seven Palms as long as any one can remember. The station of Whitewater was located where the river crossed the railway and was supplied with water from its current. During the last heavy tains the Whitewater rose in ite might and devastated the whole country roundabout, washing out the bridge and the road bed and playing the mischief generally. Soon the rains and the river ped simul- taneously and the river bas not nm found since. It apy to become ashamed of itself for doing so much harm and bas appar- ently slunk away in sorrow. Itisentirely gone. At no poiut does it cross the railroad, as it would have to were it still in existence in some new course. The railroad company, in order to secure water for its station Vhitewater, has been obliged to build a pipe line way up to the mountains at considerable expense. All Jast summer, during the hottest, dryest weather, the river ran placidly along—in fact, it has never failed until after its “jag” of this winter. Now it is one of the mysteries of that myster- ious region, the Colorado river desert, and per- haps is flowing by the Pegleg mine, and possi- bly rippling beside the treasnre-laden Spanish galleon which lies somewhere in that region buriad in sand. ATTACHED A MONUMENT. Celebration of the Unveiling of the Benning- ton Statue Damped. The big monument recently erected at Ben- nington, Vt., to commemorate Gen.

But the Security Company of Hartford, Conn., has put an attachment on the monument and this fact may, in @ measure, somewhat mar the | fri: When the question of | Pa. joy of the celebration. erecting monument to commemorate Gen. Stark's victory was agitated, Charles Bliss, a former resident of Hartford, was one of the enthusiasts. When Mr. Bliss found the funds running short for the monument he went to Mr. Day | and told that gentleman that he wanted to draw a little from the trust fund left him by his brother to pay some of the monument bills. He told Mr. Day that it was only a question of a few weeks when asufiicient xum would be raised by subscription to pay back the money tothe trust fund. So Mr- Day let him have some of the money. But time passed and no more subscriptions dropped into the Bennington fund, conse- ently none dropped into the Bliss fund, so the security company, under bonds to keep the Bliss fund intact, got ‘nervous, President Day consulted with the company’s attorney, ex- Gov.
