On Satur evening I lost on the street in bills. On Monday I advertised the Joss in The Evening Star with little hope that I should ever see the money again, but upen Monday evening between 8 and 9 o'clock, John Stewart of 1650 Vailey Street, wn, a young man of or sev 's of age, who is an as- sistant on an ice cart in Georgetown, call- ed on me and returned the money. To a boy in Mr. Stewart's circumstances the emptation to keep so large a sum must ave been very great, and his honesty in re- turning it strikes me as something so re- markable in this world of dishonesty and deceit that it deserves spa S$ a news item.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ENCAMPMENT ot Arrangements in All Lines Progress- ing Satisfactorily. ae THE ILLUMINATION The citizens’ executive committee on the Pythian encampment met yesterday after- noon at the Warder building with the fol- lowing members in attendance: Chapin Brown, George E. Emmons, A. F. Medford, G. W. Heisley, F. W. Helbig, J. W. Cronie, Dunean S. Walker, John R. Carmody, Rich- ard Goodhart, J. H. Johnson, Archibald Greenlees, J. H. Mitchell, D. B. MacT.eod and A. J. Yost. After the usual prelimina- ries, Secretary George E. Emmons read an abstract of the following order, issued by Gen. James R. Carnahan, commander-in- chief of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias: - I. All and each of the divisions of the Uniform Rank that have entered for the competitive drills during the Washington encampment will take due notice of the fol- lowing instructions and orders: Ist. The commanding officer of each regi- ment, division or troop that has entered for the competition will report to the adju- tant general at headquarters in camp at 8 Pm. on Tuesday, August 28, 1804, for in- structions and for casting lots for place in competition. Sir knight captains who do not report as herein directed will forfeit their entry. 2d. Attention is calied to the instructions and rules governing competitive drills. A copy ef said instructions accompanies this order. 3d. The rumber of entries for the compe- tition at the Washington encampment is so large that it will be necessary to begin the drills on the morning of August 2), in order to give each division entered an opportunity to drill. ‘The executive committee at Wash- ington has therefore arranged for the drills to begin at S o'clock a.m., August 29, and each division should hold itself in readiness for assignment. 4th. The drills will begin at 8 o'clock Wed- nesday morning and continue until 1 p.m., «nd will continue each day thereafter until and concluding on Saturday, September 1, Iso, and the awards wiit be made at a dress parade of the competing organizations at 5 o'clock p.m. Saturday, September 1, on the White Lot, adjoining the camp. The prize offered by The Evening Star to the best regiment taking part in the parade and inspection and review will be awarded at the same time and place. Sth. The executive committee in charge of the preparations for the encampment have selected the grounds of the Washington Bese Ball Club for the competitive drills of the infantry divisions and battalions, and the cavalry drills will be, by the kindness of Gen. Henry, in command at Fort Myer, on the drill grounds of Fort Myer. h. The forty-five minutes allowed each division for drill, as announced on the schedule, will include the time cecupied in marching on ard off the grounds. 7th. Nothing contained in this order will alter or change the conditions or dutt heretofore published and placed upon com- peting division to taking part in the parade on Tuesday, August 2S, and in the inspection and review of Wednesday, Au- gust 2), IL The executive committee at Washing- ten, following the precedent of other cn- cempments and competitive drills, will ad- mit all members cf the Uniform Rank to the drill grounds free, provided they present themselves at the gates in full-dress or fa- tigue uniform, that is to say, wearing the dress coat and belt and cap or the fatigue ccat and belt and cap of the rank. Ill. Ali brigade and regimental command- ers will bear in mind the orders heretofore issued directing them to meet at headquar- ters at 8 o'clock on Monday evening, August 27. Attention is also called to the import- arce of each brgade and regmental quarter- master and commissary reporting at head- quarters not later than the morning of Au- gust 25, to make suitable arrangements for the quarters afd comfort of their men in camp. IV. In general orders No. 19 the location and address of Thomas G. Atvord, jr., vice chairman of the citizens’ executive commit- tee, was incorrectly reported. The address should be Thomas G. Alvord, jr., Washing- ten News. ‘A communication was also read from Gen. Carnahan bearing on the vexing problem of railroad rates. Musie Again. It followed the sane line of discussion as those pr-viously sent by the general on this topic, and urged the local committee of ar- rangements to bring its influence to bear on the Western Passenger Association, which, it is charged, Is discriminating in favor of the Gran} Army encampment, which ts to be held at Pittsburg in September. Mr. i airman of the subcommittee on transportation, reported that the outlook was not so gloomy as it thing [ike so dark as in some of the foreign press. The roads had made a fare of one rate for the round trip. and, although this was absolutely low, | it was not relatively so, when placed in comparison with rates made in behalf of tne Grand Army of the Republic encamp- ment at Pittsburg. Secretary Emmons re- viewed the situation. had been pictured A communication from Congressman Conn, chairman of the subcommittee on stands, inclosing an additional bid to erect the two stands for $20 was received. He was ill, but would be able within a few days, he thought, to call a meeting of his committee. Mr. Emmons made an explana- tion of the difficulty concerning music as he understood the tangle. The Fourth Artil- lery Band had been engaged for two days of service for $25. A request for music had Leen recetved from the fifth regiment Illi- nois, U. K., K. P., and communication had been entered into with this command with the view to transfering the Fourth Artillery Pand to them, and applying the money so received to the employment of the Marine Band, for duty at the promenade reception, to be given at Convention Hall on the even- ing of August 27. A letter was read from Gen. Ordway, chairman of the subcommit- tee on escort, saying that it would be inap- propriate to order out the National Guard as escort to a civic order, but that such companies as might volunteer to turn out would be allowed to do so, The regular troops would not turn out. He also wanted to know that if in the event of the compa- nies of the National Guard turning out whether the citizens’ eommittee would fur- nish the muste. This question was referred to the commit- tee on appropriations with power to act. About a March. Mr. Emmons read a rewspaper clipping concerning the publication of a march by. Mr. D. B. MacLeod, to which Chairman Helbig of the music committee had taken exception. Mr. Helbig explained that a Pythian march had been written by Leader | Buglione of the Fourth Artillery Band. These copies were to be sold for the bene- fit of thy encampment fund, and Mr. Hel- | big thought {t unfair that any other mu- siclan should have his production indorsed. Mr. Helbig thought that the committee had been playing foot ball with him, and he j also said some sharp things at the expense of Mr. Richard Goodhart, which brought that gentleman to his feet. Mr. Goodhart |explaincd that Mr. Helbig was under a fon and that Mr. MacLeod ught the indorsement of the com- or his march nor had this been Mr. MacLeod arose and said that he had tten the march in question and had dedicated {t to the Supreme Lodge without any Intent to tread on anybody's toes or to make money. Further discussion of the matter ensued and Mr. mons movel that the action of Mr. Helbig's com- | mittee be approved. Mr. J. H. Johnson of ic order asked for Mr. Goodhart here stated that vould be In the city on the .

Discussion followed and by a vote of the committee Mr. Brown was given authority to settle the matter. He will probably send a representative to Columbus. It was voted that the headquarters of the committee be transferred from the Warder building to 1216 F street. Mr. Carmody, treasurer of the citizens’ committee, made the follow- ing report: Receipts from Pythian executive commit- tee, $71.68; from chairman of finance com- mittee. .18. Disburse- ments, $177. aving a balance on hand of $3,580.53. Since Friday $500 additional subscriptions have beea solicited and $500 paid on previous subscriptions. The Avenue to Be Hluminated. The committee on fireworks and {Ilumina- tion of the Knights of Pythias encamp- ment are pushing the work to a success- ful end and the result will be one of the most imposing, as well as one of the most novel, features ever introduced on a like occasion. Pennsylvania avenue, from Ist street to the Treasury Department will present, on Tuesday evening, August 28, a most bril- liant appearance, the merchants and resi- dents having in'a large measure ulready, by their responses to a circular from Chair- man Darr of the subcommittee on illumina- tion, assured the success of this feature of the entertainment for the visiting knights and thelr friends. Besides this illumination on the part of the progressive merchants of Pennsylvania avenue the committee will illuminate the avenue by thousands of Japanese, Chinese and American lanterns. Another, and by far the most novel, feature introduced by the committee will be the industrial illuminated parade, which will be in charge of a chief marshal who will be appointed in a day or two, who will is- sue his orders and open headquarters where all merchants, corporations, trades, etc., will be invited to co-operate. Merchants who have not responded to the circular are requested to do so at once in order to permit the committee an early op- portunity to publish the names of those who will be in holiday attire on August 28, in the evening. —~—. —__ THE GUARDSMEN HOME AGAIN. Return of the Regiment—Aboat Fri- day Night’s Disturbance. The provisional regiment of the District of Columbia National Guard, after. nine days of enjoyable and instructive camp life at Marshall Hail, bas returned to Washin ton ard been disbanded. It was after 6 o'clock last evening when the soldiers alighted from the Macalester and marched up 41-2 street. On arrival at the Center Market Armory each provistonal battalion passed in review before the other, Maj. Suess thanked the men for their strict at- tention to duty during the outing, the com- panies were dismissed and all repaired to their respective homes to once again sleep under other than a canvas roof. Dr. Joseph F. Roberts of Marshall Hall has sent a statement to The Star respecting the disturbance last Friday night, defend- ing the employes and endeavoring’ to show that there was a rowdy element in camp, whose presence and conduct aided to bring on the unpleasantness. ‘Ff don’t mean this,” says Dr, Roberts, “to be construed as a defense of Depro, as his action in. as- saulting that soldier was unwarranted and should be condemned by every law-abiding citizen. In regard to the man, Claggett, who was struck on the nose by an officer of the militia, there seems to be considera- ble doubt as to his guilt. The account the newspapers gave of bjs addressing the ladies is contradicted in many’ particulars by persons standing neag by at the time. As he seems to bear the reptitafion of be- ing an excellent citizen of Charles county, I think judgment in his case should be re- served. while the larger body of the militta conducted themselves in a most gea tlemanly and soldierly manner, there was als another element in the ranks quite the reverse, dence of this can easily be talk with residents in the vicinity all Hall. They made nightly ex- sions to farms ‘n that locality, and not only robbed and destroyed a large number of watermelon patches, but atso scared the families of those places nearly out of their s by firing off a few surplus cartridyes. hey also made a couple of raids on the pleasure boats near the wharf after the st boat left, and after using and turning them, generally speaking, inside out, set them adrift, in consequence of which some are, as yet, unrecovered. They also made themselves obnoxious to ladies on the danc- ing pavilion during dancing hours by their loud and boisterous language and actions. It will be seen by this that the trouble, to a certain extent, was brought on by this rough element of the encampment, and it is with sincere pleasure that we bade them adieu. We hope that the regi Disfrict militia, which 1s a pride to us 41, witl, on their next annual outing here or elsewhere, root this class of men from’ their midst, and thereby maintain their previous reputa- tion for order and good conduct.” ss e Golden Cro: At the meeting of Mount Vernon Com- mandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, last evening Noble Commander Wm. H. Main presided. A communication from Grand Commander Perry was read, in which he congratulates the order on its large gain in membership during the last term, nd offers a premicm of two dollars for each member in:tiated during the present term, and for every five members a Golden Cross pin or button to the member secur- ing the new members.

Seven-Year-0) Bey Shot While on a Fence—Sad: Feature of Gonzaga Lawn Party. Jchn Russell, a cab driver, out of em- ployment, has reason to believe that fate is against him. He lives at K street north- west, and in additicn to being out of em- ployment, his wife, who is an invalid, has been almost at the point of death for come weeks, and last night his seven-year-old scn, Edward Russell, was shot and killed. His killing, it is thought, was purely an ac- cldent, and just who killed him may, per- heps never be known. He was shot by seme one who attended the garden party at Gonzaga College. The affair opened last night and there was a good attendance. Lanterns were hung from one end of the lawn to the other, and the bright lights, to- gether with the colored bunting, made the place attractive, and many boys, as well as some older persons, who probably could not get in the garden, contented themselves on the outside by looking through the cracks in the fence. There were others, however, who could not see well enough from the ground, and so they mounted the fence. Several small boys who were in the alley near the north front of the lot en- joyed the festivities, and little Eddie Ros- sell Climbed to the top of the fence. Rubee there he recelved the fatal shot, a sma’ bullet from a target rifle. There was a col- ored man in the alley at the time, and with his a: tance the boy finally reached his father’s house. Later he was taken to the Emergency Hospital, Pong he died about 4:30 o'clock this morning. . ‘Persons attending the lawn party knew nothing of the sad affair, so quietly was the injured boy taken away after the shooting. The boy himself made no loud outcry, nor did any of the witnesses say anything about it. Even Officer Kimmell, who was detailed there at the time, knew nothing of t had taken place. . aoc one at the rifle range of course eid the shooting, and it is claimed by the police that P. J. Byrne, who is known as “Doe” Byrne, did it. The Emmett guards attended the party in a body, and Sergt. Thomas F. McAnally and Pri- vate Byrne were detailed in charge of the rifle range. Not until last aight at a late hour did the sergeant know of the affair, and {ft was about 5 o'clock this morning when Policeman McNamee calied at the house of Mr. Byrne and escorted him to the sixth police station. The officer had made an investigation of the affair during the night. According to the investigation the boy was on the fence when Mr. Byrne, who had a rifle in his hand, called: “Get off that fence.” He had the rifle in his hand at the time, so one of the boys told the policeman, and he thought that the weapon was accidentally discharged. When the wounded boy got down from the fence he remarked: “I'm shot. ‘ou’re all right,” said a colored man who was there at the time. With a little assistance the wounded boy walked across the istreet to the alley on the other side, amd when a match was light- ed there was a ‘hole found in his clothing. The bullet, whieh was a small one, had entered his stomach. Then the boy was assisted to the homewf his parents and Dr. Lochboehler was» soon at his side. He dis- covered that the wound was of a serious nature, and had@ the patient taken to the Emergency Hospital, where an operatioa was performed. At the sixth precinct station this morning a Star reporter saw Mr. Byrne, who ex- pressed regret at the unfortunate occur- rence, but he felt certain that he did not fire the fatal shot. In the first place, he said, he did not speak to the boys on the It’s Hood’s That Cures The combination, proportion and process by which Hood's Sarsaparilla is prepared are-pecpliar to it- self.

McAnally steadied the rifle while she fired the shot. That shot, however, he thought, was too high to have struck the boy on the fence, When questioned by the reporter he said that he only fired three or four shots, and ezch time he struck the “bull's-eye.” He orly fired them because some one com- plained that the rifle would not shoot straight. Coroner Hammett viewed the body of the boy this morning, and decided to hold an inquest at the Emergency Hospital at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The transfer of policemen from the fourth Precinct, announced yesterday, is causing considerable talk among members of the force and others interested. The transfers are known to be the result of the Sunday raid made Sunday, July 8, by Sergt. Daley and a squad of officers on the club room of the Fat Men's Beneficial Association, and the various charges growing out of that occurrence. Several officers, who, It is sald, are members of the club, were found in the club room. Sergt. Daley, as stated in The Star, was not transferred, but remains in the fourth precinct with a new set of officers under him. The secretary of the Fat Men's Beneficial Association, Mr. C. B. Kenealy, has written a statement to The Star, as- suming that the editorial comment in last night’s Star on the expected transfers wa: intended to reflect on the officers transfer- red. Mr. Kenealy says that the officers transferred were good, conscientious of- ficers, faithful to duty, and the transfers were personally requested by a great many, if not all, of them. Mr. Kenealy criticises the conduct of Sergt. Daley on the occa- sion of the raid in question, says the ser- geant will be brought up upon charges, and asks that comment be withheld until the results of these charges are known.
