MAKING oop SCORES Corcoran Cadets Indulge in Creditable Rifle Practice. n Good Time Down by the Sea—How Soldier Boys Enjoy Themselves, Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP JOS. W. ANDERSON, OCEAN VIEW, July 27, 1894. A person unacquainted with camp life, and especially a military camp, cannot ap- preciate what great benefits may be de- rived from them until they have had ex- perience. Such experience the Corcorans have had, and every one readily concedes that this has been the most successful ever held. The work in drilling, standing guard, &c., is far overbalanced by the pleasures and many happy incidents that nappen dur- ing the encampment, while it is not to be supposed that a nine-day camp as this is, and paid by the men individually, and not by the government, as some suppose,should be very strict in the military line. Such, however, is the case, and it would be hard to find a more strict order of things than exists here. Hardly a man visits the camp who does not remark upon the military discipline that prevails and the soldierly bearing of the men. At the dance last night everything passed off smoothly, and it was close en to mid- night when the fun ceased. The girls were more numerous and the boys more at home, consequently a better time prevailed. ‘Tonight the company gives a military hop, \d <li the Norfolk military companies are expected to be present. During the dance last night a few young Norfolk sports evidently were looking for trouble, and picked a wordy war with one of the company, followed by action, and the corporal of the guard was called, and in less than three minutes the entire camp was at his rescue. It was suggested that the blanket be put in use, but on account of the many apologies offered and the promise that they would return to their homes immediately they were let off. The command was out bright and early this morning at the target. ‘The boys were a bit shy of the guns at first, but are mak- ing pretty good scores. Corporal Gibson didn’t surprise the boys by making the highest score, because first place is h record for a long time. Lieut. King certainly been of great service, always watching out to give the boys pointers as to } making good scores. Rifle poactice has been one of the princi- Fal features of the encempment, and de- spite the difficulties encountered in obtain- ing a suitable range great progress has been made. The work has been restricted to 20 and 200 yards, as it was found im- possible, without a great deal of labor and time, to shoot beyond that distance. The greatest credit is due the men of the com- pany for the soldierly manner in which they pe:formed the work assigned them, «l- though the weather during the entire time was excessively warm.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS IN CALIFORNIA Deputy Marshals Ordered Out for the Protection of Railroads. FOREST FIRES RAGING VIGILANT STAYED OUT. The Britannia Beats the Satanita in Today's Race. FALMOUTH, Cornwall, July 30.—Britan- nia and Satanita alone started this morning cn the race over a forty-mile course.. Vigi- lant was unable to race today, owing to de- rangen ent of her bowsprit gear. She may not be able to race again until Saturda: next. The withdrawal of tae American yacht from the day’s contest caused great disappointment among the many yachting enthusiasts who had assembied here in or- der to witness another ayiatic struggle be- tween the Amecican sloop and the Li cutter, The course sailed ove the tannia and Satanita was tr miles southeast, ten miles wes home; three times around this course to complete the total distance. A light northerly breeze was blowing when starting gun was fired at 1 Britannia’s weathes, and th: as soon evident, had but litt chance against the Prince of Wale’s cutter The Britannia, pointing well for the got across a go tanita, and quickly forged ahead. At the end of the first reach the Britan- nia was nearly four minutes in the lead, and she increased the gav while en route to the second markbeat, and at the end of the first round the Prince of Wale’s cutter was five minutes forty-two seconds ahead of th: Satanita, and the latter was apparently hopelessly behind. On the final round, both yachts were al- most stopped by a calm. But the Britannia soon slowly glided on, and eventually cross- ed the line a winenr, At that time the Sa- tanita was half an hour astern and four miles from the finishing line. However, she caught a breeze soon afterward, and moving jek bri- line, od minute ahead of the Sa- speedily, made a better showing than at first expected. The folowing were the times of the two yachts at the finish: H. MM. S8. Britannia. 3 4D Satanita. 2 Consequently: ‘Britannia won by. sixteen minutes. The prize competed for the achts was $100, given by the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club. It was finally decided this afternoon that the Vigilant will not take part in any Faces until Saturday next. St polished preparatory to taking part in the match race for a cup valued at $500), ranged between the Prince of. Wale! Mr. George Gould. In addition, bet now and Saturday, the Vigilant’s mainsail will be slightly altered. es FIRES STILL RAGING. The Flames Broke Out Again in Phit- lips, Wis.

The Experience of the Citizens of Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 50.—T city was shaken by an earthquake at 9:11 o’cleck last night. It is described as 2 sharp shock, but not doing much damage. At Santa Monice and San Pedro a tidal wave was looked for by the timorous, but no indication of one was noticed. At Acton there were three distinct shocks, the mest severe ever felt in that region, but no particular damage is reported. The principal feature of the affair at that place, however, was that immeliately after the vibrations ceased a large meteor, similar to the one which attracted so much attention on Friday night here, was seen to fall to the ncrth. It appeared like an immense ball of blue fire, and apparently moved from the zerith to the novth in a rapid way. —_— > WORK OF WRECKER, A Train Near Trenton, Derailed. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 30.—Last night unknown miscreants wrecked the fast mail and express train on the Great Southern road, which left this city at 9 o'clock. The wreck occurred at Trenton, Ga., twenty-two miles south of here. A few miutes before the train came along some yersons opened the switch, which threw the engine, eapress and mail cars down anembankmert, totally demolishing them. The train was not running at a very rapid rete, on account of the switch being, there, and therefore the passenger coaches were only derailed and the passen- gers bedly shaken up. The express mes- Senger, Stewart, and the colored porter were seriously, but not fatally, hurt. The engineer and fireman, by a miracte, escap- ed unhert. Chattanooga officials were noti- fied of the wreck in a short time, and blood- hounds were sent tu the scene on a special engine. The hounds are now hot on the trail, and if the wreckers are caught they will be severely dealt with. ————— Opposed to Wemnan Suffrage. ALBANY, N.

Cushing, the famous stu- dent of Zuni life, delivered the last of the series of lay discourses before that congre- gation, choosing for his subject “Primitive Religion.” His words were spoken from years of experience with primitive people, e:pecialiy with the Zuni Indians, in whose tribe he lived seven or eight years, and out of considerable study of the subject. His ideas were illustrated by incidents in the lives of animals and savages, tending to show that religion is older than man and the oldest of human arts and institutions. He asserted even that the elements of it were in che natural and physical world be- fore men was developed, Were Made Whole. Dr. Stakely of the First Baptist Church is off for his summer vacation, and yester- day his pulpit was filled, morning and even- ing, by Rev. George W. Sandelin, D. D., of North Carolina. Dr. Sanderlin preached an able sermon, taking for his theme, “A Pur- poseful Life.” He read a number of Scrip- tural selections, all exemplifying the same idea, and closed with: “As many as touch- @1 Him were made whole.” At both services the subject of his sermon was the same, the sermon in the evening being a logical con- tinuation of the one del.vere] in the mornins.

TESTING THE NIGHT SENTRIES Major Campbell Gets Himself Ar- rested by an Efficient Corporal. THE DAY’S ROUTINE The preacher | Tones from bugles, stern voices of com- mand and the calls of sentries, in addi- tion to the well-known sound of the merry- go-round organ, are now heard at Marshall Hall. Camp Blake, since Saturday after- noon last has been existing as a model institution of its kind, and every one di- rectly interested is more than satisfied with every detail thus far of the outing of the provisional regiment of the District of Columbia National Guard under the command of Maj. Otto L. Suess. Even this early in the week the encamp- ment has demonstrated clearly that it is, firstly and mainly, one of instruction, with pleasure a secondary consideration. And every commissioned officer, non-commis- sioned officer and private in the regiment is thoroughly alive to his duty and is striving to the utmost to conscientiously do his share towarfl earning a reputation for Camp Blake that shail be everlastingly in local military circles. But despite the strict military discipline inaugurated and maintained by Maj. Suess all are enjoying themselves thoroughly, as was attested by a remark made by one of the men. “How are you enjoying your- self?” asxed The Ster man, and instantly the reply was: “Elegantly. I wouldn't go home if they would let me.” The same cpinion appears to be general throughout the encampment, one feature of which being particularly noticeable is the busi- ness-like air that prevails throughout and the activity displayed by all. Maj. Suess has two orderlies constatnly on duty, and their position no sinecure. The com- mandant directs the bugler to sound “offi- cers’ call,” and in less than two minutes every wearer of shoulder straps on the grounds reports to headquarters, and the sume promptness is apparent at “orderly Capt. J. S. Tomlinson. call.” Those on guard are also wide awake, as an amusing incident which occurred yes- terday morning will testi Two privates of the regular cavalry, with their blouses unbotioned, attempted to pass post 1, at Camp Blake, and were prompt under arrest and taken to the guard tent, but explanations followed, and Uncle Sam's men were released, they re- marking: “We didn't know you fellows were so strict over here. As reportel in Saturday's Star, the rezi- irent on that afternoon took possession of ils temporary home at Marshall Hail,where, ter the hardest kind of work, tents were erected and everything made shipshape. Although the men were weary dress parade was held on schedule time, after which guards were posied for the night, with Capt. J, S. Tomlinson as officer of the di Lie oflicer of the guard; Se: Wi ant of the guard, and Co Forals Schwenk, Tyler and Scott, corporals of the guard. Testing Sentric Jokes and jollity usually make night hide- ous to some extent in camps of the National Guard, but the men at Camp Blake were either too weary or too soldierly to indulge in anything of that nature on Saturday night, ‘but on the contrary it was found necessary to awaken many to answer the final rom call. Silence then for several hours reigned more than usually supreme. in the @ee small hours, however, Major Suess, accompanied by Major Campbell, Captain Moyer, Captain Columbus) and Lieut. Allen, emerged into the darkness for the purpose of testing the efficiency of the sentries.. The. party successively strolled to the various posts and reaped considerable amusement fromm the mocturnal excursion. After a few preliminary questions, Maj. Suess said to one guard: Would you give up your rifle if a commissioned officer asked to examine it?” “I would,” without hesitation, said the man on guard. “Suppose he should throw it over the fence?” was the next query from the major. “Then he could walk my post and I'd go about my business.” Although the sentry had the right con- ception of duty the major gave him a few words of advice and passed on to the next post. The party was promptly and correct- ly challenged, but Major Suess took the sentry to task for permitting the approach of Major Campbell, wno was in citizen's a’ th I thought’ he was a friend of yours,” feebly said the frightened sentry. “Never saw him before, and don’t know anything about him,” untruthfully respond- ed the ruler of Camp Blake. “Well, what are you going to do about it?” The interrogation was satisfactorily an- swered by the sentry calling in loud tones for the corporal of the guard. That official responded on a run, the situation was ex- plained to him and he demanded of Major Campbell the countersign. It was correctly siven, but the very efficient corporal was not satisfied and next asked for the parole. “I won't give it to you,” Major Camp- bell said, und he started to move away. “Halt!” commanded the corporal as he brought hts piece to a ready. The major halted. Then the sergeant of the guard was sum- moned and the commander of the fourth battalion marched under arrest to the guard tent and placed in durance vile. After about an hour devoted to explanations to the officer of the guard and the officer of the day, Major Campbell was allowed to seek his cot, well satisfied with the effici- ency of the sentries at Camp Blake. The Day's Routine. Reveille sounded at 5:45 o'clock Sunday morning, followed shortly after by an in- spection of camp, the only point open for criticism being the presence of a rotten apple in one of ti® company streets. At tress call for breakfast the regiment was rot formed as promptly as the major thought proper, and he expressede himself accordingly. His words had the desired effect, for at dinner the formation was all that could be desired, and the same proved true at supper. Guard mount took place directly after breakfast, with Capt. Jenkins as officer of the day; Lieutenants Andrews and Walker, officers of the guard; Sergt. Gray, sergeant of the guard, and Corporals Brandt, Kirk and Kins corporals of the guard, At sick call Serzts. Schultz, O'Brien, Gibson and Ireland, Corporals Gray and Grocme, and Privates Sauls, Stewart, Bur- dine, Reinbum, Hubbard, Billings, Holmes, Smith, Lewis, Lavin and Detweiler reported to Surgeon Watson, the medical officer of the day. ‘The illness was slight in each in- end after treatment the men re- ed to duty. arrived, bearing a large number of persons from Washington, who inspected the camp with interest, and added much to the pic- turesqueness of the scene.
