It was while there he perfected the phono- | Photograph, an astronomical instrament | that has been spoken of by men learned in the science as one of the greatest inventions of the age.

JURISDICTION OVER THE GROUND. Adetachment of soldiers from the cavalry | post at Fort Myer, Va., left here this morning for Gettysburg, Pa., to superintend the laying out of the camp and the erection of the tents for use at the encampment of the New York state veterans on the Ist, 2d and 8d proximo. Lieut. A. C. Merillat, eighth cavalry, was in command of the detachment, which consisted of four non-commissioned officers and six privates. They will have the assistance of a large force of laborers in the work. It is estimated that there will be 10.000 veter- aus in attendance, and the government has pro- | vided 700 tents for their shelter and accommo- dation. SECRETARY LAMONT CA¥'T GO. Secreta the reunion, but finds that the pressure of official duties makes it impossible. A few days ago he made a conditional acceptance of an in- Vitation from the national Gettvsburg com- mission to visit the battlefield —_ for the purpose of making a personal inapection of the work projected by the com | mission in execution of the congressional pro- sion for “marking and_ preserving the lines of battle” at Gettsburg. The commission de- sired him to visit the ground, in order that he might have a perfectly clear’ understanding of the situation. ‘The Secretary subsequently re- called his acceptance. As has been heretofore stated in Tur Star, the proposed visit had no relation whatever to the operations of the trol- ley road. LACK OF GOVERNMENT JURISDICTION. According to the law officers of the War De- | partment the government has no jurisdiction whatever over the battlefield and consequently ad no legal right to interfere with line. Secretary Lamont is so well satis the soundness of this view of the govera- ment’s Inck of jurisdiction that he does not think it necessary even to submit. the question tothe Attorney General. It is a on all sides that the battleficld should be fully protected from vandalism, and a strong effort will be made to induce Congress at its next ses- sion to legislate to that end. UNITED STATES TROOPS TO PARTICIPATE. The only United States troops that will par- ticipate in the encampment are one troop of cavalry at Fort Myer, Va., and the light bat- | tery of the fourth artillery at Washington barracks, numbering in all about 120 men. They are under-orders to report ut Gettysburg not later than the 30th i and will probably o tomorrow. ‘The journey both ways will be y rail. a Satisfactory Smokeless Powder.

Albert Pike as grand commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scot- tish Rite of America, lies at death’s door in the same room in the‘House of the Temple,” 3d and E streets northwest, in which Gen. Pike passed away April 2, 1891, During the past winter Dr. Batchelor, who has been an invalid for many years because of a wound received in his leg during the war, went to Alabama to visit a sister, his only living relative, and for the benefit of his health. He returned to the city on the Ist of April, and on the way home caught a cold, which he was unable to throw off. Despite his great vitality he gradually became weaker, and ‘on the 15th of last month he was compelled, much against his will, to take to his bed, and has been so confined ever since. ‘The cold de- veloped into a severe cough, which his friends believe is now that of a consumptive. His emter has been at his bedside now for some time, and from her and hin friends he receives every care and attention. Beeause of his ad- vanced age, seventy-five years, his friends en- tertain no hope of recove last weeks his death may occur at any moment. HIS LONG LIFE. ‘The grand commander was born of English | parents in Quebec, Canada, July 10, 1818. | ‘The family shortly afterward removed to New York state near Geneva, and after that made | their way to Alabama. Subsequently Dr, Batehelor made New Orleans his home. where | he resided when he succeeded Gen. Pike as | grand commander. Studying medicine he be: came a noted physician, and rendered noble service during the visite of the yellow fever. Dr. Batcheior ix a widower, his wife and six children having died yearsago’ Since early inlife he has beena very prominent member of the Ma- sonie order. and for twenty-four years wasgrand, secretary of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, resigning that office shortly before the death of Gen, Pike. A man of the highest cbaracter, | a learned scholar, possessed of those qualities which make a man beloved and respected, Dr. Batcheior’s deat will be a matter of deep anc universal regret. Upon his death he will be | succeeded, as grand commander, by Lieut. Grand Commander Philtin Tucker’ of Galves- ton, Texas, a prominent member of the Texas bar, and aman of high attainments and great integrity.
