Half of the National Guard Makes a Flank Movement on Ivy City. For the first time in its interesting history the District National Guard today enjoyed | field day. Not the whole of the brigade, | though; just the first regiment, the engineer | corps and the cycle company. Congress failed | to appropriate money with which to pay the | expenses of a brigade camp of instruction, so Gen. Ordway came to the conclusion that field days wero necessary. | Under the recently approved drill regulations | old things have passed away and most military | things have become new, which means that a | great deal of old-fashioned Uptonian tactical | knowledge was of no avail and had to be forgot- ten and that much novel information had to be imbibed. Of course a great deal of this could be worked | out in the armory and drill hall, but in none of | these is there sufficient space to euver in extended order. A field, and » big field, is | needed, and this was found at Ivy City. Mr. Albert Gleason very cheerfully placed the race track at the disposal of Gen. Ordway and it was to the race track that the first regi- ment proceeded this morning. The regiment d The three battalions of infantry and the engineer corps tramped to the B. and 0. depot and were transported without any exertion on their part; the cycle company, of course, wheeled out. ‘There was a good turn out; not as large as it might have been, but there was nothing dis- couraging about it. ‘There was more than enough leaven to leaven the whole brigade lump, and if itshould happen that the entire command had to take the ficld a week hence the knowledge acquired today could easily be disseminated. THE BOYS ENTHUSIASTIC. Col. Moore was in command for some time after the evolutions commenced, but business called him away and that left matters in the hands of Lieut. Col. Walton.

An stated in Saturday's Star, Mr. McIlhenny was in his office on Tues- day, where heattended to business as usual, re- ceived his friends and appeared to be in his customary health and spirits, He, however, suddenly had an attack of illness, which proved to be congestion of the kidneys, He was re- moved to his home, and from that time up to the hour of his demise his indomitable will, which had carried him through many a serious attack during the years of his invalidism, made a gallant fight against death, The struggle, however, was a vain one. The paralysis which attacked him fourteen years ago, and has veen in its nature progressive, held him in a firm grasp and finally reached his tongue and deprived him of speech. Hts mind remained clear and active, and on Wednesday when his brother John, who had been summoned from his home in Philadel- hin, reached his bedside he was able to call im by name.

THE ROUTE OF THE SUBURBAN RAILROAD. A delegation, consisting of Messrs. G. B. | Davis, D. W. Glassie and others, called upon | the Commissioners today with the object of getting their approval to running the tracks of the District Suburban railroad on the | Bladensburg pike. In view of the re- quirement of the law which seemed to re- strict them to a route along and outside of the road and of another provisiqn which said that | the tracks might be laid on and along the road the Commissioners did not feel justified in coming toa conclusion without the advice of | their legal officer and therefore referred the | matter to the attorney of the District, HANCOCK CIRCLE.

John A, Brooke, commanding the department of the Platte, has been submitted to the Secretary of War, | showing that the number of court-/ martial trials in his department had increased over last year, a fact probably due, he says, to the efforts of’ the officers to main- tain discipline by resort to military courts and also to the decrease in the numtber of old soldiers in the various regiments. Until offi- cers tommanding troops shall be upheld in | minor disciplinary measures a large number of trials by court, he says, may be expected to | continue. In conclusion Gen. Brooke says that tho post exchanges have passed beyond the experi- mentai stage and may now be considered a successful and valuable institution. —_s— Funeral of Capt. Ross. The remains of Capt.0. H. Ross were interred in Arlington cemetery yesterday with military ceremonies, conducted by members of the Loyal Legion and the G. A.R.

They. were the south's sole representative in the grost military parade of last Wednesday, and all along the line of march from the ‘battery to 59th street they | were greeted with cheers. They presented a fine appearance, and the New York papers com- plimented them highly. While in New York the Guards were enter- tained by several military companies, and were forced to decline many invitations they could not accept on account of the shortness of their stay. Yesterday they attended services at Dr. age's tabernacle in a body and left New York for Washington at midnight.

The convention of representatives of the sub- ordinate bodies of the Scottish Rite in the southern jurisdiction, which met in session at the Scottish Rite Cathedral on Saturday, com- pleted its work late thatevening. ‘The object of the convention was to prepare a petition to the SupremeCouncil setting forth the grievances of the members of the rite. An organization was effected by the election of Mr. A. H. Holt of this city as chairman and J. L. Dobbins of Minneapolis as secretary. A committee on credentials was appointed con- sisting of Harrison Dingman of this city, chair- ©. N, Beal of Wichita, Kan., and Rev. Mr. man; Nash of | Fargo, 8 D. A committee was also appoirfted to prepare a peti- tion to be sent to the Supreme Council. This committee reported and after discussion the report was adopted, with but one dissenting voice. The petition was en- tirely respectful in tone, asked the supreme body for a reduction of what is considered an excessive . rate of taxation, the aboli- |tion of the life tenure of office of | members of the council and the substitution | therefor of a representative form of govern- | ment, and for the establishing of councils of deliberation when desired. A form of address was adopted to accompany this petition, and the documents were directed to be sent to the Supreme Council, which met today at the sanc- tuary on 3d street. ae COLUMBUS IN THE CHURCHES.

His home was in the north of Ireland, where he was born in the year 1835. He made’ his home upon arriving in this country in Philadelphia, where he attended the public ‘schools. He then entered a machine shop, ‘and acquired the practical knowledge which made him a ekilled engineer and ma- chinist. He selected as a special study gas en- gineering, which was then in its infanev in this country, and through closo application, combined with energy. he became one of the recognized authorities on this subject in this country. When still a youth, only twenty- two years of ago, Mr. Mellbonny's ability was recognized by his appointment in charge of the gas plant at Macon, Ga. From this place he received an appointment to the more import- ant position of superintendent of the Gus ight Company of this city. He came here March 7, 1865, and since that time his best thought and energy has been given to advanc- ing the interests of the company. November 15, 18¢°, he was elected president of the company, which position he held at the time of his death. His practical knowledge of the art of making illuminating gas was never allowed to grow rusty. He was making constant progress and so kept abreast of the improvements which have in the past few years completely revolutionized the pro- comes of gasmaking. The company “has profited from Mr. Mcllhenny’s researches. He made several improvements which were pat- ented. He has written a number of Papers on gas manufacture, which were publiched in the proceedings of the American Gas Light Association and which ized as uuthoritative. While Mr. a business man and as friend and adviser his’ memory will be fondly cherished bya large number who were so for- tunate as to know him.
