A meeting of the third army corps, Army of the Potomac, was held last evening at the Ebbitt. Maj. A. H. Richardson was chosen chairman and Mr. Frank Blaisdel secretary. General discursion was indulged in as to the Dest method of getting the old comrades to- gether during the coming encampment, ands committee was appointed, consisting of the secretary and Comrades T. W. Lord and Will- iam H. Doolittle, to draft a letter to be sent to the members of tife third corps. The cavalry corps of the Army of the Po- tomac also met last evening at the Ebbitt. The following committee on reunions was appointed: Chairman, Gen. E. W.

H. Dow was elected secretary and Geo. W. Rich treasurer. A committee was appointed to ascertain the names and addresses of the corps resident in the city. After the transaction of business relstive to a corps reunion and re- unions of the divisions and brigades in the corps the committee adjourned to meet Mon- dey, the Sth instant, at 7:30 p.m., at the Riggs onse. The twelfth held a meeting last evening ‘lliam H. Webster, president. at the Ebbitt, William Aughinbaugh of the fifth Ohio infantry was elected secretary. Although in November, 1863, the survivors of the eleventh and twelfth corps were combined into one body—the twen tieth corps—it was decided that di the coming encampment the original corps should preserve their individuality and hold separate Teunions. Mr. Clark reported that the seventh Ohio regiment would be present with fitty mem- bers, and the chairman was instructed to corre- spond with other regiments which might be in- fuced to come in force. All present were con- stituted a committee to secure an attendance at the next meeting of all the members in the city. ‘Maj. McElroy, the chairman of the committeo on reunions, attended these mectings and made a statement of the plan which is proposed to be carried out. ‘There will be a meeting of the survivors of the fourth and twenty-first army corps at the Riggs House thie evening at 8 o'clock. A full attendance is requested for the wurpose of organizing for a grand reunion and encamp- ment. ae Gov. Tillman's Standing. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your issue of yesterday you publish an ar- ticle on “South Carolina Politics,” in which the following language is used in reference to Gov. Benj. R. Tillman: “A man of fair education, with rough and un- couth manners, with a countenance which | ‘Th would bar its owner out of the society of de- cent men anywhere, Tillman had a political sa- gacity to see that the volatile and excitable peo- ple of this peculiar commonwealth wanted something in the way of a change, something to excite and stir their blood.”” Evidently your correspondent is not on the subject which he handles co roughly or he is prejudiced against Goy. Tillman. I have known (and known of) the Tillmans for years. They are famed for refinement, uprightness, candor, unusual intelligence, being well-read people and great of hospitality. Mrs. Tillman, the mother of Gov. B. R. Tillman and of our honored M. C., Hon. Geo. D. Tillman, even in her old age was a woman of great refinement and of bright, keen intellect. In 1876 it was my pleasure to enjoy the hospitality of her house For one night. "She was then an old lady (she has since died). I will never forget with what animation she discussed the topics of the day, with occasional references to well-known standard works and authors. Her table was covered with late leading daily papers and with magazines of recent date. Their good standing m South Carolina has never been questioned, and if Gov. Tillman saw fit to work in the interest of the farmers, of which he is one, departing from the customs of the old regime, being a free man, not afraid to speak his convictions, I think he should be allowed to do so without such sweeping asser- tions, which I regard as a cruel slander. The governor has been accustomed to the best of society all his life. gE >— ‘Thanks to Senator Hiscock. Senator Hiscock has been rendering willing service in behalf of a veteran naval officer who desired employment in one of the departments. Last night Potomac Association of Naval Vet- erans held a regular meeting, at which resolu- tions of thanks for the Senator were unsni- mously adopted. as Going Into Camp at Cape May. From August 20 to 29 the Washington Light Infantry will be in camp at Cape May, on the lawn in front of Congress Hall. This was de- cided upon last night at a meeting of the corps. It was also agreed to appropriate $50 toward the entertainment of the Grand Army in Sep- tember. H. Anadale, Chas. 8. Gunn, Edward G. Russell and Andrew M. Smith were elected toactive membership, J. Finley was placed on the honorary contributing roll and Fred. J. Melvin of Cape May went on the honorary roll. —_.—_ The Sheridan Rifles. At the last regular meeting of the Sheridan Rifles, company C, fifth battalion, D. C. ky the members by unanimous consent decided to relinquish the idea of going to Scranton, Pa., as had been intended, where the Irish-American Military Union will hold its encampment this year, but instead will go into camp at St. George's Island, on the Potomac, for a period extending from the 14th to the 22d in elusive. All the arrangements for the trip are being perfected by Sergt. Jas. O'Connor, who left on the Leary on Monday morning with that intent. It is estimated that fully forty of the members will take advantage of this pilgrimage in order to secure all possible information from the duties atténding camp life.

Conflicting Testimony as to the Assault on an Officer. In the Police Court, Judge Mills, this morning Jerry Matthews and Francis Matthews were charged by Officer Hanley with an aseault on him last night. The officer testified that he went to examine Jerry’s carriage to see if there was a number on it or a light; that Jerry cursed at him and he arrested him, when he resisted and kicked him, as also did his partner, King. and the prisoner's mother came up and seized his club. Officer Stamler testified that he responded to the distress call and there was a crowd of « hundred and the officers were being resisted, and they had to fire to disperse the crowd. Jerry testified that the officer, after some words with him, struck him with a “billy” over the arm; that’ both officers jerked him off, upsetting the carriage, and struck him, threat- ening to bat his head. He denied that he resisted or assaulted the officer. - On crowe-examination by Mr. Clagett witness said he weighed 300 pounds. The mother. who was dlso charged, denied that her son swore any and corroborated his statement as to the officer striking him four of five times,once on the head.

Building Inspector Entwisle writes to the Commissioners urging the necessity of an order prohibiting the uso of gas under any circum- stances on tho stages of the theaters. The house being lighted by electricity the gas ap- pliances would be neglected and to turn it on would endanger the audience. Gas should be allowed in the auditorium; in that part of the house it would be an advantage to afford light in ease of a failure of the electric lights. 1¢ Commissioners will consider the subject at the regular board meeting.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The long-suffering citizens of Northeast Washington are asking themselves who is to be the next victim of the insatiate locomotives that traveree the highways of this fair capital city. ‘The excitement over the recent awful death of Wm. Brabler bas not at all abated. and the indignant people are loud in their demands that some more adequate means for the pro- tection of the lives and property of our citi- zens be at once adopted by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Mr. Brahler was a citizen whom everybody liked, and who had spent his life in honorable toil in our midst. His family, to whom he was devoted, was a large one, and is now deprived of his care and fatherly advice, He was in the prime of life and a useful citizen. Penned in that death trap at Ist and H streets, through no fault of his own, he was run down and horribly mangled, while his son by his side miraculously escaped. Only the other day a whole street car load of people came within an ace of being run over on the other railroad at 6th street and Maryland avenue.

Crane bunted the ball cleverly and beat the throw to first. Fuller aroused storms of ap- plause by making his fourth consecutive driving ‘the ball to far center field. scoring O'Rourke and Crane. Crane in the ninth in- ning wound up his clever record by striking out the opposing side. For Washington Radford sent a grounder whistling between Danny Lyons’ feet in the first inning and advanced to third on sacrificos, but there he perished.

In the sixth McGuire got around to second on H. Lyons’ muff, but was left there. In the eighth Dowd went to first on balls and died there, and in the ninth Jones reached first on balls and stole second. McGuire and Mil gan had previously struck out, and Crane fin- ished the game by striking out Danny Richard- son. Score, 8 to 0. Other games resulted as follows: Brooklyn, 3; Philadelphia, 1.

Raflway to Try the Under- ground Conduit Electric Wire. ‘There is to be an underground electric street | railway in this city. At least the Rock Creek | railroad has practically concluded negotiations | for the putting in of this aystem along that por- | tion of ite route which lies within the limits of | ‘the city. As is well known this company has | constrneteda road out Connecticut avenue from the bounds of the city at 18th street and Florida avenue to the District lineand beyond two miles into Maryland. The line within thscity extends | along U street from 18th street to 9th, and then along the Metropolitan Company's tracks to 7th street. The charter also gives the right of way | along Florida avenue from 7th streeg to North | Capitol street. Under the present laws the company is not itted to use the overhead wires within the limits of the city. . AN UNDERGROUND CONDUIT. In order to operate this portion of their road | they have entered into negotiations for putting in an electric underground conduit. It has all | along been held that the underground electric wire as a street car motor was nota practical success. But it seems that the Fullerton avenue loop of the North Chicago Street Railroad Com- pany is being operated by the Love electric Underground system, and it is this system which will be adopted by the Rock Creek rail- road. It is to equip the road from i8th strect antl Florida avenues following. the line along U street and 9th street to 7th street and Florida avenue. It is rup} that if this | of the road is operated with success that e line will be extended to North Capitol IT REVERSES THE OVERHEAD WIRE SYSTEM. The experiment, however, will be watched with 9 good deal of interest in railroad circles, ‘as all the city companies, with the exception of the Washington and Georgetown Company, are Giving a good deal of attention to the subject of the methods of rapid transit. As is known, the underground electric overhead wire system. Instead of having the wire carrying the current string over head on poles the wire is placed ina conduit beneath the tracks, cable, ALL DIFFICULTY OVERCOME. By the Love system it is claimed that the difficulty which has operated to prevent the practical success of the undergound electric | wire for railroads is overcome by that device of covering the were with copper sheets, thus pre- venting the contact of the wire with water. ‘The trolley which from the motor in the car down through the slot into the conduit has anend which projects at right angles from the trolley wire. tne part of the wire curves up and passing under the copper covering of the wire comes into contact with the wire and re- geives the electric current.
