Michael informed Tae Star reporter that the committee had fully decided to give three hops aboard the Kearsarge, one in honor of naval officers and their wives and daughters, one in honor of the United States Naval Asso: | ciation and one in honor of the citizens’ com | mittee and their coadjutors in the gran | work of the encampment and reunion. These | hops will be unexceptionable in every respect. | Every detail wil! be looked after to make them ‘cordial and recherche. The dancing will be | on the spar deck, under the canopy of a gener- | cus awning. The deck itself ix large enough to accommodate a lurge party, and will be smooth and suitable for the most dainty feet. No more romantic and high-toned party was ever given leytown, through the efforts of the | or enjoyed in the nation's capital than will be | those given aboard the Kearsarge. THE CABIN CONVENIENCES, The cabin has been enlarged to 16 by 36 feet, | j and will be pro ed with dressing rooms, toilets | and every convenience for gentlemen and ladies. | | Arrangements have already been made for the furnishings of the cabin and dressing roo W. H. Houghton & Co., the enterprising furni- | ture and carpet dealers, will furnish and decor- | ate th 1 under their thorough and | | artistic it will be made luxurious and | (handsome. The lighting and ventilation will be | Perfect, afd nothing will be left undone to pro- vide for the comfort and pleasure df the guests | of the vessel. The forecastle rises several feet above the | | spar deck, and from this elevation music for the | hops and for reunion occasions will float out | upon the oper air. Themusic will be furnished by different bands, but on ali oceasions it will be first class. Refreshments will be served in jand from the cabin, as the weather and other | conditions require. COMMANDER MICHARL AND STAFF. The chairman of the naval reunion com-| | mittee, Maj. W. H. Michael, will be the com- | mander of the vessel and will appoint daily his | staff, executive and h officers, aud have direction of the affairs of the hip. On re- | union days the senior living officer present rep- resenting the squadron, whose reunion is being | held, will preside, and beside him on the plat | form will cit officers of his squadron next | him in rank. The same gener! plan adopted | for the corpes reunions will be foilowed in the | navy reunions. Distir volunteer navy, who hnve made national repu: tations since the war as public spenkers, and offices of the regular navy, weil known for their literary cuiture and ‘eloquence, will de- liver appropriate uddrenses on the spar deck of the Kearsarge during the week. It is intended | that the week shall Le one for the navy and ma- | rine corps of feast of reason and flow of soul | in which the wives and daughters and sweet- te of naval heroes shall take part. A GOOD CHANCE FOR THE Navy. has never before had a chance at a ampment of the Grand Army, and, thauks to the considerate and generous manage- ment of this one, to the earnest and prompt co- operation of Acting Secretary of the Navy Mr. Soley and Naval Constructors Wilson and Hich- burne, the commandants of the Washington aud Norfoik navy yards, the practical and energetic help of Mesers, Littletield, Brast.

It is Said That e Will of the Late Col, Smeed Will Not Be Cont>sted. | The prospective contest in Omaha, Neb., over the will of the late Col. E. C. Smeed, chief en- gineer of the Union Pacific railroad, who died | surprise in Philadelphia. Mrs. Hotchkiss, at | whose house the colonel died, said yesterday | of Emporia, Kan., | daughter of the deceased and the contestant, | who by the terms of the will is to share the | estate. which is estimated in value from dence yesterday with the body for Omaha they | were on the bestof terms. Mr. and Mrs. Cross | and Mrs. Nichols left on the train together. Irs. J Nichols came to my House with the colonel about two weekw ago,” contin- ued Mrs, Hotchkiss, “Bhe had been with bit to Cresson. He was an invalid and they were tobe married soon. Ther had known each | other ten years and he was guardian of her son. “During the whole time of his stay here his | mind was-as clear as my own; he never betrayed | the slightest mental weakness. Even durin | the lant three days, when bis illness took a fata turn, be retained his faculties and was entirely conscious and calmly rational to the end. Ail of the colonel’s actions and converrations were such as were to be expected in aman who bad his position in the business world.” Concerning the allegation that Mra, Nicholas unduly influenced the colonel, Mrs. Hotebkiss id: “Who bas a better right to possess infla- ence over a man than his aftianced wife? He wus devotedly attached to Mrv. Nicholas. If the were ont of the room for w minute he in~ wuired for her, And loving her ax be did it was the most natural thing in the world for him to endeavor to protect her by will.” Mrs. Hotchikica pronounced aa outrageous the statement that churges of a sensational nature ——~++e0_—____ A Mysterious Shooting Affair. , Two women, while placing a wreath on the é pistol shot near by.

Action of the Branches ia a Namber of Cittes, Judge Bregy in Philadelphia decided to accede to the application for » receiver for the | state, and named District Attorney George 8. Graham as receiver under both bills. ‘The Judge disclosed the fact on the bench that he was himself a member of the order, and said that he would not think of giving ® decision unless the counsel on both sides should signify their assent. There was no objection raised, the fact being knows before the application was brought. Officers of the seventeen local Iron Hall lodges in Chicago have decided to hold on to their reserve funds without going through any legal formalities. The members have reached the conclusion that the order has collapsed and that the best plan is to get all they can out of it, Accordingly the reservefands, which range m $800 to $1,500, will be distributed amon; the paying members, and the local officers will resign, leaving nobody responsible to the Indi- anapolis receiver. As the paying membership of the local 1 has dwindled toa small num- ber those dividi funds will fare well. Supreme Justice Somerby of the Iron Hall returned to his home in Chicago. Several re- orters were m waiting for him at his front loor and to whom he said: “I have just arrived home from Baltimore and am tired and sick. That is all I will say at present to any newspaper man in America.” ‘The general interest taken by the public in the affairs of the Iron Hall was represented to ‘Mr. Somerby and he was persuaded to answer a number of questions. “What is your opinion of the future of the Iron Hall? Will it survive the present attacks?” “hat I must decline to discuss,” said Mi Somerby. “In fact Iam not able to give opinion, as the events of the past few days been so unexpected. The te ones of a re- ceiver for the Iron Hall in this city was a great surprise to me.” “How is Iron Hall off financially in your opinion?” - “You can my that to my mind Iron Hall is as sound as any institution in this country,” re- plied Mr. Somerby. “The dispatches from Indianapolis quoted you as saying that Secretary Hayes was respon- sible for the £88,000 of the reserve fayd being invested in the Mutual Bank. and that you knew nothing about it.” “That is absolutely false. While Secretary Haves was the one who made the investment, still I knew it had been done. I said nothing that reflected in uny way upon J. Henry Hayes, for I believe him to be a thoroughly honest man. “Do you believe that this $88,000 is lost?” Mr, Somerby reflected a moment before an- swerfig, and then he said: “Yes, I am ob!iged to admit that I think it is.

Pursuant to orders issued by Col. Moore roll call was held at 5:30 o'clock this morning and immediately afterward the assembly was sounded. The colonel wanted to see how much progress had been made in certain directions that he had no chance of seeing at dresa parade of yesterday, and had ordered a battalion drill at6 o'clock. Afteru drillof over an hour's duration the company commanders dismissed their respective companies and later on had the gratification of hearing the colonel express his pleasure at the marked improvement in drill. Company B has been under the command since their arrival here of Lieuts. Shreve and Brown, two very efficient officers. Capt, Ross was detained in Washington by sickness in his family, but last evening word was passed around camp that he was on his way Y May and would reach this place on the evening train, On his arrival he was received by bis company and escorted to camp, where he was made the lion of the hour. fle states that he left no sickness at home.
