ORK The Flag Raised and the Drills Com- menced—Practicing With the Deadly Gatling. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP FORSBERG, MARSHALL HALL, Md., August 14, 1894. On Sunday morning at 9:30 sharp the light battery pulled into Marshall Hall after a march of about twenty-nine miles over Maryland roads. The time consumed on the march was about nine hours. At precisely 35 p.m. Saturday the command “Forward march” was sounded by the trumpeter, and the march to Marshall Hall began. The route of march was via 3d street, Pennsyl- vania avenue to llth street east, thence over the Anacostia bridge, passing by the Hospital for the Insane and through Pis- quotaway, Md. ‘The first stop was made at Friendly post office, at which place the horses were winded for about fifteen min- utes. This place reached at 7 o’¢lock. After leaving Friendly post. office nothing of note occurred until within about one mile of Pisquotaway, when one of the rotten bridges of Prince George's county gave way under the wéight of a caisson. Fortunately nothing more serlous than a delay of a few minutes was the result, though several can- noneers were precipitated to the ravine be- low, but being pretty tough they bobbed up serenely. Pisquotaway was reached at 9:30 p-m. and preparations for the evening meal were at once under way. At the command, “Unhitch,” all horses were unhitched and then the harness being placed on the poles of the carriages, and everything being. secured, horses fed and watered, the bat- tery went into bivouac until) f40 Syn- day morning, the cook (Private Jacobson) being awakened a half hour earlier to pre- pare breakfast, which consisted of good hot coffee, rye bread and hot sai age was carried on the road, officers and men sleeping on the ground, with the sky for a cover. A great numberof the men found comfortable beds on some ancient tombstones of an adjacent yard, i Was a rather gruesome sight Vo see a mbit arise in the small hours of the morning and commence to rub his eyes and wonder where he bad been during the earlier ag night. Of course, he soon realized where he was. It was quite different from awaking in a snug bedroom at home. After feeding and watering horses and the men had “break- fast the march was resumed. At 6 o'clock rain commenced to fall in: considerable quantities and continued to fall until some time after reaching Marshall Hall, which place was reached at 9 a.m. Sunday. The men and horses of the‘hattery’ were in Al order when camp was reached. The pair of horses attached to the ambulance had to be relieved shortly after leaving Pisquotaway. Instead of taking them out altogether a line was attached to the rear of the preceding caissun and assistance rendered in this manner. The tents being up very little work was necessary to put things in shipshape. In a remarkably short time the horses were at the picket line and camp was practically .begun. As it rained nearly all Sunday no werk beyond straightening up the camp was done. Of course, the horses have to be at- tended to with great regularity, this being considered but routine work. Neglect of horses means a crippled and worthless bat- tery. The camp of the battery ia situated in the northeast portion of the grounds, just on the river shore. The picket line is being at the water's edge. For this reason it is not much labor to water horses. The ground occupied this year is the same as last year in all respects. Directly after dinner the regular camp routine was commenced. Reveille was sounded at 5:40 a.m. and the’ first day at camp began. Guard mount took place at 8:15 a.m., Capt. Forsberg acting as officer of the day; Sergt. Henderson, sergeant of the guard; Private Chase, acting corporal of the guard; Privates Sherwood, Vernon, Carpenter, McKeon and Beaumont. There are two posts, ome at the picket line and one at the park. At 8:30 a.m. drill call was sounded, the drivers cleaned and arranged harness, and the cannoneers were instruct- ed in standing gun drill, which latter lasted for one hour and a half, it being the first drill the battery has had in a year where there was room enough to maneuver the guns and carriages properly. Capt. Fors- berg took charge of the drivers for the morning work, and Lieut. Griffiths had command of the gun detachments. Both the drivers and cannoneers made a very fair showing in the matter of drill. At 10 o'clock sharp the a fos the flag was commenced. For the purpose of getting the flag pole in position Sergt. Be- ondi and a detail of men were sent to the late camp ground of Maj. Suess’ command to get the pole erected there. It was taken down in a very few minutes, thus showing their aptitude as mechanics. The detail then brought the pole to camp and ere ed {t im a very substantial manner. When everything was in readiness Capt. Fors- berg took the halyards and proceeded to raise the brand-new garrison flag furnished for the occasion. The trumpeter sounded “To the colors,” the Napoleons thun- dered forth a salute as the most beautiful flag the world ever saw was raised to the top of the flagstaff and Camp Forsberg was declared officially opened. The camp was named after the popular battery commander at the last monthly meeting, and at the unanimous request ‘of the men the captain raised the flag. Di- rectly after the flag was raised practice with the Gatling guns was participated in by a large number of the men. Some very good scores were made, About 200 rounds, were fired in all. The target bore the ap- pearance of having encountered a_ severe hail storm. The range was 600 yards. The targets were erected by Privates Condon, Long and Jacobson, and their work was well done, as they are all experts at this business. No further work was done until 3:30 p. m., when drill was again ordered. This was a mounted drill, and was a very creditable showing indeed. It was the first mounted drill since last summer, and, con- sidering green men and worse ‘horses, tt was a highly creditable affair. The drill took place alongside the camp of the two troops of regular cavalry camped here, and was viewed by a number of the cavalry officers and men. With some more. drill the battery will not be such slouches as militia mounted troops are supposed to_be., Of course, the battery has to ‘cotitehd with new and green horses. very time they go out, were they able to have the same horses as their professional competitofs, the comparison of the two would be more just. At the afternoon drill. the drivers handled their horses with exceptional skill, while the cannoneers showed their applica~ tion to drill by making but very. few er- rors. At the present rate of improvement the battery will, most likely, be in pretty good shape by the time the flag is finally lowered over Camp Forsberg. J. H.

C., August 13, 1804, Ex-Judge Henry G. Connor, who was nominated by’ the populists at their state convention of August 1 for associate jus- tice of the supreme court, positively declines to be the nominee of any party, and so the -executive committee of the populist party is to meet in a few days and fill this vacancy. pated. The platform adopted by the democrats at thelr state convention August S does not suit all the party. There are many who insist that the indorsement of the President ought to have been absolutely unqualified. The platform committee had a long discussion over this “administration plans.” and as offered tt was with the Silver. plank, “16 to 1," does not give entire satisfaction. Even the chairman of the. said he dissented from this silver business, that the platform ou ht to be termed thi “06: platform,” which means they think its tgnor populistic. One paper apologizes for' the platform and says it is not nearly so ee ago, Bd that “there is less in’it to offend a Sgmocrat.”” few words are being coined for use in the epming lively campaign, and the demo- ‘cfats are the coiners. “Populists” are term- ed by Ransom men those whe favor Jarvis, ‘while those who are determined to hide Ransom’s faults by a fight on Jarvis are called “Scopaukers.”” It ts the plan of soi publicans to make both H. P. Cheatham and George H. White, the colored republican congressional candidates;' who are strang- ling each other in the rac@ in the second district, retire and in fqver of Hiram Grant. It is reasonably (certain that th will set many negro voters against Grant, for they think one of oar race ought to represent the “black disttict.” In the sixth district it is teasonably cer- tain that Oliver H. Dockery will be_ the Tepublican congressional: ngininee. John Nichols may be that gdrtkis nominee in this, the fourth, district. He wants to get the nomination, but there Is opposition. Thomas Settle will, without any doubt, get the republican nomination in the fifth district. Rufus Amis, formerly a demo- crat, wants the nomination dnd ts attacking Settle. Amis says in his paper that if Settle is nominated the populists will indorse Au- gustus W. Graham, the democratic nominee, while if Amis is nominated the populists will themselves make no nomination, but will indorse him. Amis’ paper Is The Silver Dol- Jar.

The White mountains are best identified at this time of year by referring to them as the locality where hotel keepers adver- tise that their houses are heated through- cut by open fires during the entire summer season. They really are not, of course, but the bare idea of a degree of cold sufficient to warrant such advertisements is enough to bring many people here from the swelter- itg lowlands. There are a dozen important resorts in the White mountains, of which Bethlehem, North Conway, Jackson, Jefferson and | Sugar Hill are the largest; Intervale, Pro- file, Crawford's, Fabyan’s, Mt. Washing- ton, Twin Mountains end North Wood- stock are smaller, but very popular. Each place consists for the most part of one large hotel. ‘The principal daytime amuse- ments are fishing, climbing and tennis. In the evenings there are hops at close inter- vals, and this year there are an extraor- dinary number of progressive whist and euchre parties. ‘There are a great many Washington peo- ple in the mountains, although perhaps not quite so many as usual.

A romance has just come to light in Boar- bon county that is the talk of southeastern Kansas. A son, twenty-eight years of age, meets ani identifies his father, whom he had never ‘seen. The incidents of this strange meeting are unusual and thrilling, and, in ote Sense, pathetic. The son finds his father, who has never been divorced from his mother, living with another wife, to whom he has been married for twenty- six years, and his mother the wife of an- other man. The recognition was made on the fath- er’s form last Tuesday, five. miles northeast of Fort Scott, through a wounded finger on the left hand, which had been described to the son by his mother many years ago. As a result of this meeting the father’s second wife has left him, and the old man, sev- enty-four years of age, with two Ifving wives and one son, is left on his lonely farm uncomforted. About twenty-eight years ago Stewart Strevil and his wife were living on a farm in Bates county, Missouri. They were very comfortably situated, and he was a great devotee of race horses. He owned two blooded animals, but had not found them profitable. One day he concluded to sell them, and he left home in the morning, taking them with him. He never returned, and since then he and his wife have not known each other's whereabouts until a few days ago, when the son, by a mere chance, found his father. Mrs. Strevil could not account for his disappearance. After several days she received a letter from some unknown person in Kansas City, Informing her that the body of a man, who was doubtless her husband, had been found, murdered, there, and buried. She was asked to accept his grave and care for it, which she consented to do, This was twenty-elght years ago. Meanwhile the afflicted wife endured the grief, which was assuaged only by time. Three months after MP. Strevil’s disap- pearance a son was born to her, who was named Noah. About ten years later Mrs. Strevil was married to James Bowling, and several years ago they moved to Bourbon county and located on a farm, ten miles from Stewart Strevil. The soa, now a man twenty-eight years of age, with a wife and three children, grew up with them, and is still living with them, jets for rifle Vhen the company Srey senmmel Bee puher selected apd had fully started of tHe work’ they begah to realize that it was not all play. In fact, it was necessary to clear away a large space of underbrush, additiga,.,.to, that for the butts for a con- tye target frames together, still another went to work digging sand, and the remainder passed buckets from these last mentioned to the butt frame. In a few minutes-all were -working stoned officers and privates working shoul- ger t shoulder, and every man working and. hy iene At about 2:30 the men were pretty well tured after their exertions, and as opera- ons were nearly completed it was finally decided that the rest should be all to remain until morning, immediately after breakfast. It is hoped that the company will be enabled to start sgn. As soon as work was discontinued al] hands started immediately for camp, the unani- mous vote being all hands for the surf. Et of course, required only a short time for the boys to get out of their uniforms, and Gon their bathing suits, and then there was @ general rush for the water, followed by an immediate halt when first wawe was | reached. The only reason for this was that the water was cold, although not so cold as y y. Regaining courage, however, an advance was made in double time. and then the fun commenced. The surf was d, and everybody enjoys “After the bath was over” the boys re- | ®ppeared in their best uniforms, ané@ ail | hands had opportunity to make themselves more presentabie, ag their shirts end-ether accersories were obtainable, such not being ‘the case in the rain of the day before. ———— Edacators to Meet at Kasisas City.

Urtil a few days ago he never heard that a man bearing exactly the same name as his lived in Bourbon county, Last Tues- day he deeided to investigate the matter, He called at Strevil’s house during the noon hour, and was invited to participate in the meal. At the* table y: Strevil noticed the crippled finger, as described by his mother. The young man waited until dinner was over, and then he invited the old gen- tleman out into the shade of the house, where he disclosed his suspicions. The father laughed at the statement, but when the young man gave hith the name his mother bore befozve marriage, as well as the names of his brothers and s'sters, the old gentleman broke down in tears and conf |. The decrepid ol’ man was a: sisted into the house his son, and his aged wife was tohd of che recognition. She was prostrated, but she soon recov- ered, when she severely censured Strevil for living a Me for twenty-six years. She then and there notified him that she would not longer live with him, and immediately she packed up her belongings and went to friends in Kansas City. Mr. Strevil is living alone on his farm, and is very much worried about a prosecu- tion for bigamy, though it is understood that proceelings will not be instituted. The aid gentleman ‘denies the authorship or knowledge the letter written from Kansas when he left his first wife. He believes the second Mrs. Strevil will return and live with him. The romance has caused a great deal of talk among the people, and the old gentle- man‘ is very. much worried by the promi- nence that has been given it. > At Narragansett Pier, espondence of The Evening Star. NARRAGANSETT PIER, R. I, August 11, 1894, The last day of July saw many of the visitors here leave for home, but their Places were taken by so many others, who came to spend the month of August, that the hotels are now more crowded than ever, while the daily list of arrivals is steadily increasing. The round of gayety continues about as before, but there are not so many dances and hops as in previous years. People here are disposed to take things more quietly, and to enjoy the natural, rather than the artificial, advantages of the Pier.
