Antonio Bachetich died yesterday morn- ing in @ seaman’s boarding house in Phila- delphia, after having voluntarily fasted for seventy-six days. During that time nothing but water passed his lips. Just before he died he called for food, but it was too late. He had only taken a few mouthfuls when the end came. The doctor attending him gave a certificate that death was caused by eneral debility, due to voluntary starva- tion.” Bachetich’ was a sailor, and when in that city made his home with Lucas Bachich.

The Washington and St. Louis Ball Games, aA ‘Two Hundred Mile Bicycle Race— The Navahoe to Race in Engla! Other Events of Interest. Two games were played Saturday after- noon at National Park, the Nationals hav- ing as their opponents the St. Louis. The first game was won by the latter and the second game resulted in a draw after play- ing twelve innings, it being then too dark to continue to play. In the first game the local club put up an excellent fielding game but fatled to bunch their hits, while the visitors found the pitching of Stockdale and Stephens exactly to their liking. The playing of young Ely at short for the St. Louis was very fine and the feature of the game. Sam Wise kept up his great stick work in both games and fielded perfectly Stockdale was driven from the box in the third inning of the first game and Stephens substituted, but the batting streak could not be stopped. Mr. Meakin and Charles Farrell were in the points for the second game, and as usual when this battery comes together the players behind them did good work. Clarkson started to pitch this game, but as the result began to favor the local club he was hastily retired and Breiten- stein substituted. This move no doubt saved the game for the St. Louis, as the latter pitched very effectively, keeping the hits scattered. Two games will be played today between the same clubs for one price of admission, the first game starting at 2 o'clock. To- morrow the Cincinnati club will start the last series of the season in Washii Latham will be on third, and as it will be ladies’ day he can be expected to be in the best of humor. Meakin will no doubt go in against Dwyer and as a result of this com- bination a good game can be looked for. Following are the scores of Saturday's games in detail ASHINGTON. 8ST.

SHANN. Insurance Men Not Satisfied as to the Cause of Her Son's Death. A Trenton, N. J., special says it is like- ly that Mrs. Shann will have another sit- ting in the Mercer court, as the Manhattan Insurance Company has refused to pay the two thousand dollars on the policy held by her son John Shann at the time of his death and which makes Mrs. Shann the beneficiary. Since her acquittal on the charge of kill- ing her son her counsel have opened a correspondence with the officers of the company, and they refuse fo pay the money because the cause of death has not been shown and is very much in doubt. Capt. Holt went to New York on Saturday but did not succeed in having a conference with the officers, and will in a few days, if he does not succeed in getting any satisfac- tion, at once bring suit for the money. Mrs. Shann. is anxious to leave Princeton, be- use of the strong feeling that there is against her in the community. It is a1 nounced in Princeton that Mabel, the pret- ty young daughter, who sat with Mrs. Shain during the trial, is soon to be mar- ried. It is estimated that the trial of Mrs. Shann cost Mercer county $7,500. eee = Offered to Sell an Award. Mrs. FE. J. Harmon, sllas Mra.

A Successful Encampment and Great Improvement in D1 Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALLISON NAILOR, ATLANTIC CITY, August 27, 1893. ‘The annual encampment of the Light In- fantry is about o7 and there is no doubt but what it has been entirely successful. Today being Sunday, the command at- tended services at the Various churches in the city, and were then at liberty to pass the time till dress parade as they thought best. Quite a large crowd of the boys, who have by this time gotten acquainted with a num- ber of very pretty girls, were seen on the electric cars bound for Longport, the ex- cursion house or the inlet. A number went iu bathing and the rest stayed around the ae pane up their things or lounging around. On Saturday an exhibition guard mount was given on the parade ground, and was greatly enjoyed by the very large crowd that had avsembled to witness the drill, and they certainly were not disap- ted, for it is very doubtful if the Light Infantry ever gave “a ‘finer exhibition of their training than that presented on this Occasion, the marching in review being especially worthy of. comment. Guard mount has been a feature of this week's rogram, and each morning a certain num- of supernumeraries were placed in the ranks for the purpose of instruction, and they ‘have all profited by the few minutes’ work consumed attending the ceremonies, ‘The skirmish drill that took place on the beach yesterday morning was indeed a revelation to a very large portion of the participants. It is true that It took place at & very warm hour of the day, but the boys did not seem to mind it at ail, as there was ® brisk breeze blowing over the ocean that helped to allay the warmth of the beaming sun. Fifteen rounds of blank cartridges were issued to each man, and a line of battle was mapped out, the opposing forces belng the Light Infantry on'the right and the War Department Guards on the left. A very interesting battle took place, the deploying as skirmishers being ‘especially well ‘executed, the rallying and charging causing a large amount of amusement for the mass of people that thronged the board walk and fringed the outskirts of the bat- tle ground. The first attack was started Ly the War Department boys, who swooped down on the infantry shortly after the skirmish line was mapped out, and caused them to beat a hasty retreat After re- pairing to “safe ground,” they quickly “re- covered” themselves, and with a yell they immediately bore down on the enemy, and in a few minutes “none were left to tell the tale.” “It was short, but decidedly lively. Last evening after dress pal le a street parade took place, embracing some of the principal streets, Again Gommand was proceeding down Pacific avenue past one of the large hotels the guests all rushed to the front of the house. One enthusiastic gentleman grabbed /up @ miniature American flag and began waving it. The quick eye of Maj. Ross. the commanding officer, took In the situation at & glance, and at ‘once brought the boys down to a “carry,” and executed the marching salute. It’ caused rounds of 4p- Plause from the spectators, The following orders were given out at dress parade: HEADQUARTERS W. 1. 1. CORPS, ALLISON NAILO! ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Augi He First Lieut.

By order of WM. G. MOORE, Col. Commanding. WM. M.-ARNOLD, First Lieut and Adit, Tomorrow morning the joint encampment of the Washington Light Infantry and War Department Guards will be broken early, chests will be packed, and later in the day knapsacks will be slung, and then the boys will wend their way ‘toward the depot, where a special train will be in waiting to take the soldiers away from the scenes of the ten days’ outing, and nothing will be left behind but the kindest words, sincerest regrets and the one wish among the citizens that Atlantic City will next year see once more the merry faces of the Washington soldier boys, where they are always wel- come. On the part of the brass-buttoned troops will be a feeling that they have been treated, like princes by the open-hearted people here, that they have had a royally good time and that when next summer rolls around the sad sea waves will once more break upon the shore at their feet and that old acquaintances will once more be renewed. Surgeon General Henderson of the Dis- trict militia arrived in town yesterday and his face was very familiar in cemp today. ‘The tent oceupted by Capt. Childs and Surgeon Luce has been the scene of many visitors today, among thelr callers beini Messrs. Ab. Ruff of the Central Nationa Bank and Mr. Fred. Giesking. Also Capt. Littlefield and Mr. Humphreys of Philad phia, and Messrs. Ash, Jacoby and Mitchell of Wilmington. Capt. Allison’ Natlor entertained the offi- cers of the Washington Light Infantry Corps in a royal manner at the United States Hotel last evening and a most en- joyable time was had. ' Capt. and Mrs, Nailor received the guests in the parlor of the hotel and after exchanging courtesies Capt. Nailor made a few remarks of wel- come, after which the party repaired to the dining room, which was very handsomely draped in silk flags and bunting, Sweet scented flowers were everywhere. ‘The af- fair was informal. Everybody was there to enjoy themselves and that was just what they did. After the repast the ‘party as- cended to the parlor, where the band had in the meantime assembled and a little im- romptu dance was indulged in by ev ly. Capt. Nailor was voted a jolly good fellow and his wife a charming hostess. It is whispered around the camp that Capt. Childs is going to engage in a new line of business when he arrives home. At any rate he was discovered seated on the hokey-pokey cart that is ever present on the camp grounds dealing out the wares with a very lavish hand today to the boys. He found many customers, as he refused absolutely to accept any pay for his stock of frozen sweets. Private Javins of company B ts said to be one of the quietest men in camp, and is never out of his tent after dress parade. Private Niedfeldt went out on guard- mount this morning and was taken sud- denly sick and was compelled to leave the ranks and repair to his tent. He is, how- ever, all right this afternoon.

The corps is un- der the leadership of Capt. James C Churchill, and consists of little lads, none of whom ‘appear to be over twelve years of age. They wore handsome zouave cos- tumes and caps and presented a fine ep- pearance as they marched up Providence Street to the doctor's residence, with their martial music, and followed by a large contingent of the youth of Brookland. At Dr. Penrod’s home they rendered most ef- fectively some beautiful selections with fife and drum. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Horner at Sylvan Place, Mr. J.C.

CAMP CECIL CLAY, HARPER'S FERRY, Angust 27, 183. Saturday was housecleaning day with the soldiers at camp Cecil Clay. Some were shining buckles, others were s*wing on but- tons, while still others were washing gloves and outing shirts. This morning “Black- bail,” the barber, is busy shaving the beards off the sunburned and weather-worn warriors. There are a few old veterans | here who played a part in the tragedy that made the name of this olace known the world over. They occasionally gather about some one of the tents and speak of those times—they always have an cager audience —and the busy scene of che housecleaning in camp awakened in them recollections of thelr campaigns under privations and hard- ships. A good story is told of Capt. Smoot, who came up here to select the camping grounds. He met one of these veterans and they were soon bosom friends, as it appeared they were members of’ the same regiment during the war, though it is sali. and up- Pearance seems to prove it, that the - natured captain was too ‘young to have served in the war. He was nevertheless royally entertained. ‘The manner in which gaardvnoun:, dress parade and battalion drill has teen ut up for the last two or three days is generally remarked upon, and the vast improvement over the first days is apparent to all. Act- ing Maj. Salmon complimentel the boys on the splendid battalion drill on Saturday, and he asked no more than just such a show before the visiting veterans, Col. Clay and Maj. Bartlett. They arrived on Satur- day evening, and when they reached camp it was well nigh deserted by the soldi on pleasure bent.

A ‘mustache cup and an introduction to the handsomest young !ady in the hall was the prize. He was introduced to Miss Grace Anderson. Miss Nettie Spangler also sang. Corp. Reed is now eagerly looking for a mustache. Capt. Smoot gave the cor- mands and Capt. Salmon and Lieut. Orth were the judges. On Saturday night the drill was continued, and Private Goode was the winner of a box of fine cigars. Seret. Whipp gave the command: Lieut. Orth Ras the judge. | Sergt. Miller, Corps.
