Soldier Boys Take Possession of the Green Lawns—A Busy Scene at the Armory. Marshall Hall is now ruled by martial law. The popular excursion resort has been captured by provisional regiment of the Mstrict of Columbia National Guard, and for ten days the green lawns will be the scene of guard mounts, dress parades, riot and skirmish drills, a sham battle perhaps, reviews, battalion and regimental drills, rifle practice, and while off duty battles of hearts between the sollier- lads and the fair gs from Weshington, who will’ visit them at “Camp Blake," and a godd ‘time generally. After weeks of the hardest kind of work all arrangements for the outing were finally completed at a late hour last evening. The Center Market armory presented thé ap- pearance of an enlarged beehive. ~ Men” were moving to anl (ro, baggage was belug packed and moved, and Major Suess stcod in his headquarters room, the eenter of a perspiring ant inqris group of commnis- sioued and non-commissioned officers, issu- ing directious and orders. About midnight seria reigned, but.at diy- tight this merain hings again assumed. ajr of activit Xpress wagons ari and a moment later the bridge leading frum Penusylvania avenue to the armory butld- ing was blockaded with luggage of almost every conceivable nature. By 7:30 o'tiock men in uniform began to arrive rapidly, and half an hour later the entire membership of the provisional regiment, with -but few ex- ceptions, had reported for duty.-In spite of the intense hi the National Guard Drum Corps formed in the drill hall and rendered numerous selections. At length the various companies reported on line, and at just 9:20 o'clock Major Suess commanded “fours right, march,” and the small army moved by way of 7th street toward the river front. ‘The boys were tu heavy marching order and wore white helmets, fatigue caps and tin cups being slung from the waist. belts, and blanket bags, respectively. Major Suess rode an iron-gray horse, and he and his followers presented a decidedly formidable appearance. ‘The march down proved an uncomfertably hot and tiresome one, lana Alends men marched at “route step” during the greater portion of the way. Upon the’arrtynt at the 7th street wharf companies A and C ot the sixth battalion, company C of the third bat- talion and the ambulance corps, at Maj. Suess’ direction, fell out of line and marched aboard the steamer Macalester. The four companies ,were urder the command of Capt. Story. The remainder of the troops passed on to the steamer River Queen and took possession of that boat. At just 10 o'clock che Queen backed off, and, amid the good-bye shouts of a large number of wives, Sweethearts and friends, the District de- fenders sailed away for their temporary home at Marshall Hall. Four minutes later the Macalester started in pursuit of her consort. Upon arrival at the end of their journey the soldiers were met at the wharf by a squad which had preceded the command to erect tents for the officers and otherwise prepare for the coming of the regiment. Tne detail was under command of First Lieut. Cc. E. Swigart, and was made up of First Lieut. S. H.

ARMES REPLIES. Dentes All the Charges Made His Wife. In the suit for divorce filed on the 12th instant by Lucy M. Armes against George A. Armes, the defendant today filed his an- swer. He states that they have been and are still living together as husband and wife at their residence, near Tenleytown; that he has always provided for his wife and chiiiren to the utmost of his means and ability, and that he has always treated the ccmplainant and their children as a fond and true husband and father should. Maj. Armes denies cach and every allega- tion made by his wife as to cruel and in- human treatment, and states that they are absolutely false. He says that he and his wife have, since the filing of her petition, been living together under the same roof, eating ot the same table and cohabiting as man and wife. He claims that Mrs. Armes’ ckief reason for filing the petition for di- veree Was because he would not indulge her in extravagant luxury in living, an in- dulgence he refused because to have granted it would have brought immediate and fnai firanciai ruin to im. ‘The defendant also states that during the past two years his income from the real es- tate business has besa absvlutely nothing, and then he goes on to explain that the in- cumbrances on his various pieces of proper- ty render it barely possible fér him to sup- port his large family. Nevertheless, he states that he supports and maintains the complainant and caildren with the neces- saries end ordinary Comforts of life, in a nicely furnished home, providing them with three Servants. He alleges that Mis wife has a bank account of several humir sd dollars, and s that she has paid and fs able to pay counsel. He states that {n correct- ne his children he has never used more ‘ssery foree, and char.zes that Mrs. has at various times interfered with his duties to his children. Once, he says, when correcting his daughter Cecily, Mrs. Armes rushed upon him with such violence and fury that it was necessary for him to push her from him; when, in a perfect fury of temper, she threw herself on the grass. ‘As tending to support his answer, Maj. Armes filed the affidavits of Dr. Jonn W. Chappell, the family physician; Thos. J. Hurdle, Harry C. Scrivener and Junius B. Jones. — A CALL FOR A CAUCUS, 1 is Being Circulated fm the H by Mr. Springer. Representative Springer of Iinois late this afternoon circulated the following call for a democratic House caucus.

A Circalar Ca’ x for Ansis the Industrial Army. ‘The following official circular was today issued, signed by the advisory board of the industrial army encamped at Rosslyn: HEADQUARTERS U. S. INISUSTRIAL ARMY, CAMP ROSSLYN, ALEXANDRIA, Va. July 28, 18 ce by (Official Circular No. 1.) Fellow citizens: The advance guard of the industrial army has reached Washington in bodies large and small, and thousands are still on the way. The journey has been nade amid difficulties and dangers, and in spite of obstructions that were enough to all the strongest heart. Famine, thirst n our experience, eheer- ed occasionally by outbursts of generous support and good cheer from the masses whom ft is our mission to reieve, and only the lash of hunger and the remembrance of our unfrnitful efforts to procure work in the past have induced us to persevere on our journey. We mourn the loss of a number of our comrades, who perished on the way, and we tender our heartfelt sympathy to the thou- sands of our members who now languish be- nind prison bars, martyrs to the cause of humanity. We have com> here to secure our rights to life by demanding cf thé people's represen- tatives employment for ourselves und the millions ef unemployed American citizens whom we represent by generat consent. With power to produce wealth, we are not paupers, and we demand justice—not alins, We are at war with hunger, wre‘chedncess and despair, and we propose to stay aimless forcibly removed) vntil our demands are granted, Meanwhile, through lack of proper organi- zation heretofore and the lying accounts sent forth by the tools of plutocracy, the encampment is today nearly destitute of provisions or means of shelter, and it is absolutely necessary that the friends uf this oe should come to our immediate re ef. We therefore make an earnest appeal’ ‘to all who can contribute something -for our support to do so immediately. The army is new reorganized on a popular basis of ‘res trol and management and transacts its. p fairs by a vote of the whole body, hold! ing up to the world the model of a popular Bov- ernment. The advisory board is compesed of delegates selected by gach contingent as soon as they arrive, and, apart from commissioned agents, Mrs. A. S$. Diggs, chairman of the national board of Teller for the industrial armies, is the only. persom authorized to receive’ contributions, of any kind from the country at large for the bene- fit of the army. We have upward of 2,000 men encamped at Washington and vicinity, and large num- bers are arriving daily. Hundreds more are out on furloughs, ready to return when needed. Do not place any confidence ‘in the false reports of the army, concocted by our enemies, but hasten to give us suc- cor. The employment of this surplus labor will advance wages all along the line, in- crease the wealth of the country, and will ultimately settle the labor problem. We therefore bereech you to cail meet- ings, organize boards of relief, and we ask all labor ani reform organizations and all friends of the movement to assist us as soon as possible. Send all contributions in cash, food or clothing to Mr. A. S. Diggs, 107 Sth street northeast, Washington, D. C. Respectfully, THE ADVISORY BOARD: Gen. Lewis C. Fry, Los Angeles contin- gent; Col. Arthur Vinette, Los Angeles contingent; Col. Thomas Galvin, Los An- eles contingent: Gen. Frank Cantwell, northwestern contingent; Gen. Chas. T. Kelley, San Francisco contingent; Col. Geo.

House Conferecs Not Likely to Sur- render to the Senate Tarif Bill. The democrats of the conference held an informal conference this morning, and it was the hope that before the close of the day a meeting of the full conference would be held. The conferees are anxious to get at their work as speedily as possible, and it is the expectation of the Senate wing of the conference ‘that ‘their differences will be soon settled by the substantial surrender of the House. They wilt prebably be disap- pointed in their expectations. If the House ever yields at all, itis hot probable that they will do so until they have had at least a ‘week in conference, The prospect of a deadlock is what sp- pears at this time. Mr. Cleveland bas had some of the conferees at the White House, and it is understood that he has urged very. earnestly upon them their duty to resist the Senate to the point of securing some concessions. Representative Monigomery returned last night. [4 is undersioed that he is as firm as ever. While some of the democrats in the House are getting shaky, a majority of them, and all the leaders, are as yet very set in their determination not to yield everything the Senate demands. Possibly a very little yielding on the part of the Senate would do. ——+- THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 4—Judge Hagner. Bayne agt. McBlair; time for filing tran- script of record extended thirty days.

There were desertions as these. men moved through the country, and when thef reached here and went into camp at Stegmaier’s there were in the party about 200 souls, Three days Ago there was a meeting of the half-starved men, and they decided to dispose, ofthe team and convert the money inty foodsr + This was -done yesterday, Moses Sin- sheimer” paying tiem 995 for the outfit. After paying over the money and getting a receipt, Sinsheimer became suspicious and had Ugliceman Schultz arrest the men and the money. The prisoner, George Jefferson, who is an intelligent mah, told Judge Miller that he realized the fact that the men had been misguided. He had kept a diary, which he produeed in court, and Judge Miller listened attentively to his story. He gave a history of the team as stated, and said the trouble commenced when the receipts of money disappeared. When there was no further show of the army's getting food he said Randall told them they would have to trust to pot luck, “and,” he added, “Randall got the pot and we got the luck, and it was pretty hard lubk at that.” Defendant then told: of Coxey’s speech when he deserted the army, and he said he became much disgusted at it. “He advised the men to come here, walk on the grass and beg nnd get sent to jail.” said Jefferson, “for then we would get fea, but when some of the men wanted him to lead them he backed out.” He bjamel Coxey and Randall for the sad condition of the men In camp, and as- sured the court that the sale of the team was made in good faith. Lawyer Sillers, who represented the pris- oners, conducted the examination, and asked Randall if he were not an anarchist, and the latter answered in the negative. Judge Miller had very little to say. Like the Pennsylvania judge, he concluded that the team was the property of the army, and not of the so-called “general,” and the men had a right to dispose of it. This case, he said, was only another illustration of how these poor men had been misguided, and he discharged the de- fendants. f e court also made an order returning $4 tq the three.men, and “Gen.” Ran- asa policeman, remarked, “wasn't add. in i Suggestion fot Baia Belief of Firemen and The om Mr. Droop’s Idea Ayyc Parris—Inventing ¥- Breve Men. “chtet The death of Firemen Fenton, Mastin and O'Donoghue in the Knox fire Wednes- day morning bas resulted ina great wave of popular sympathy, not only for the fami- lies of the dead -heroes, but for the brave men who risk their lives at each stroke of the alarm.

Wednesday next Judge Bradley will re- lieve Judge Hagner, who has been the only judge of the District Supreme Court sitting during the last two or three weeks. Judge Bradley will then be the only mem yer of the court sitting until the 15th of August, when he expects to be relieved by Judge Cole. While it is necessary that there should be at least one member of the court in the city during the hot spell, very little is done outside of what might be called routine business. That can usually be done in an hour or two, and in conversavion with a Star reporter this afternoon Judge Bradley explained that he proposed Lolding ceurt from 9 in the morning until noon each day he should be here during the hot weather. Three hours, he thought, were cuffictent in which to transact all business necessary to be done at this time of the yeat, and he felt sure the members of the bar would so promptly accommodate theniselves and the court. —es NO UNEASINESS FELT. ing Low and Foreign De- mand Active.
