CARNAHAN HERE Satisfied With Washington Arrange- ments, Not With the Railroads, ESTIMATE OF THE COMING HOSTS The Details of the Camp and the Great Drill. COMFORT OF VISITORS Maj. Gen. James R. Carnahan, com- mander-in-chief of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, arrived in Washington from Indianapolis late yesterday afternoon, and with his wife and daughter ts quarter- ed at the Ebbitt House. Gen. Carnahan will remain in this city till the biennial en- campment of the Uniform Rank and the biennial convention of the Supreme Lodge, of which latter body he is also a member, are matters of history. He and a Star man had a long talk last night in the Ebbitt lobby. Gen. Carnahan is not apparently enthusiastic, because he does not permit his enthusiasm to be ap- parent, but he is amply satisfied with the cutlook, and expregses himself to this effect in unmeasured terms. He has a grievance against the railroads. He does not think that they have acted generously toward the great order of Knights of Pythias. Per- haps he does not think that they even act- ed justly. He is very diplomatic in his ut- terances, and is careful to not give rash or vehement voice to his sentiments, but it was clear to the reporter that in the matter of railroad rates he is disappointed. It might be putting it too strong to say that he Is disgusted, but it is not a cer- tainty bat that this would be an undue liberty with words. He said that the rail- roads had made no concession. They had done even worse than this; they had dis- criminated in favor of the Grand Army en- campment to be held at Pittsburg in Sep- tember and against the Pythian encamp- ment and convention to be held at Wash. ington next weck. True, the trunk line soclations, or some of them, had made re- Guctions, but a party of ten, coming from Indianapolis, for instance, could make as low rate as had been made in behalf of the Pythian order. Thus no concession had been made. It had been a bitter and weary wrestle with the roads. The Grounds for Complaint. At first it nad seemed that they would lend an attentive ear to the claims of the Pythians, and would at least give the cour- testes waich had been extended to the same order on the occasion of other encamp- ments and to many other orders, neither so great nor so strong as that of the Knights of Pythias. Their failure to do so was what rankled in him. The railroads were running excursions out of Indianapolis to Niagara and return for five dollars, and to Toronto, C: via Niagara Falls, for six dollars, yet they had declined to make any inducement in the direction of the capital city. When the Grand Lodge of the District. of Columbia went to Kansas City in 1892 the rate for the round trip was $15. In addition to this cheap fare, the railroad ccmpanies carried the bands of music gratis and gave thirty-three passes to the local jurisdiction. Now, it would cost the Kansas City ledges $27.50 for the round. trip to Washington, au increase of close to 100 per cent. ‘Tke result of all this would be to greatly diminish the attendance at the -encamp- ment. Despite all this discouragement, there would certainly be, he thought, fifty thousand strangers in Washington during encampment week. This was a conserva- tive estimate. He had positive information that the number of uniformed men who Would report would be ten thousand. This was likely to be increased as the days went by. It was not likely to be diminished. Experience had demonstrated that the mumber of followers per each uniform knight was five. This would give 60,000 outsiders as visitors to Washington. This average had been proved repeatedly, and there was no reason why it should fall short this time. Those ten thousand knights wege coming. There could be no mistake about that. They knew perfectly well how much their railroad fare would be, and they had determined to come. Come With a Rush. Had the rafiroad fare been equitable the number of visitors would assuredly have been 50 per cent greater, and it was only reasonable to calculate that it might have been 100 per cent greater. If the new- comers had not already engaged rooms it did not indicate that they would fail to show up when the time arrived. It merely meant that they would all pile in with a rush. There would be plenty of room for them. The hospitable expansiveness of Washington could not be questioned. Fifty thousand strangers was the minimum figure. Camp preparations had been made by the subcommittee on camp and camp ground for but six or seven thousand knights, but he had already had an interview with Mr. George &. Emmons, secretary to the citi- zens’ Pythian encampment committee, and that gentieman had given the assurance that every mar who applied for quarters would be properly bestowed. The contract with the tent-furnishing company at Co- lumbus, Ohio, had this in view, and tents would be ordered as it became clear to the committee that they would be needed. No hitch need be feared in this direction. Gen. Carnahan reviewed for the reporter much of the encampment history; the troubles which been encountered and which had been overcome. He made no criticism. He had only words of praise for the citizens’ committee, which had so ably seconded the Pythian encampment execu- tive committee, and at the vital hour had taken the lead. Gen. Carnahan will give a good deal of his time before the opening of the encampment to the camp groun. To him this is a very Interesting feature. He is satisfied with the location, and the plan has already received his unqualified approval. The Great Drill. After the heat, dust and fatigue of the parade on the 28th, and the inspection and review on the 29th, Gen. Carnahan will re- main in camp and see that the competing divisions in the competitive drill get away in time so that no delay will be experienced on the drill ground. Fifty divisions, count- ing infantry and cavalry, have entered for the contest, and this is the greatest num- ber of entries ever made for a similar con- test within the history of the order. The izes have been guaranteed by the Grand fe of the District of Columbia, snd were the same as those given at Kansas City two years ago, with the exception of the prizes for the cavalry winners, which were somewhat different. Gen. Carnahan, in answer to queries as to what he thought of the proposition to postpone the promenade reception to be given the Supreme Lodge at Convention Hall from Monday to Wednesday night, did not seem to be much impressed with the suggestion. Monday night would do. ‘There was no doubt that all the represen- tatives to the Supreme Lodge would be here by that time, and as they would enter upon their sessions on Tuesday, It would perhaps be best to have the reception over with so that no interference, further taan possible, might be made with their busiress. Time, with the Supreme Lodge, was money. ‘The sessions cost the order cash, and ought not to be needlessly prolonged. He was pleased that so many courtesies were to be shown the knights, and these attentions would receive due appreciation and proper acceptance. Caring for the Visitors. The Pythian encampment committee on information and the sub public comfort committee for duty at the Baltimore and Ohio station held meetings last night. At the first named meeting there were present A. F. Medford, chairmen; J. W. Carter, secretary; S. H. Gladman, G. W. Bauman, S. Silverberg, J. W. Hardell, J. M. Craig and M. C. Thompson. The session was net needlessly prolonged, and it was voted to employ men for the information booths which are to be located at the Peace monu- ment, 15th street and New York avenue, 9th and F streets, 7th and Pennsylvania avenue, ond at the information stations at headquarters and at the camp grounds. These booths, which were used during the Grand Army encampment, are now being rejuvenated and repainted in the glowing Pythian colors of blue, yellow and red.

The committee having charge of the ar- rangements for the proposed commercial parade, to take place on the night of Au- gust 28, in connection with the general Mlumination of Pennsylvania avenue, ex- pect that the parade will be a decided feat- ure.of the festivities attending the Knights of Pythias encampment. Many of the lead- ing business firms of the city have already reported that they will take part in the Parade, some with floats and others with their business wagons. The committee hopes that every business concern ‘in the elty that can do it will be represented in some form in the parade. Many will send out their delivery wagons, simply and in- expensively illuminated. A few Chinese lanterns will be all that is necessary. The avenue will be illuminated, and the inten- tion of the committee is, if possible, to have every vehicle moving on the avenue illumi- rated that night. It is desired that business establishments intending to have its wag- cns or floats in the parade report that fact at once, by postal card or otherwise, to the chief marshal, Capt. Harrison S. Bar- bour of James L. Barbour & Son, 614 and 616 Pennsylvania avenue. The place and hour of forming the parade will be an- rounced through the newspapers. Additional Subscriptions. The following subscriptions, in addition to the lists already published. are reported by Chairman Noyes of the finance committee: The Shoreham... THE OWNER WANTED. A Mysterious Buggy and Dead Horse Found at Wheaton. Not since the mysterious disappearance of Philip Haviland, the Montgomery county miller, has the sheriff and his assistants had an opportunity to make a similar in- vestigation until yesterday, when Deputy Sheriff Samuel A. Jones learned of the find- ing, in the woods near Wheaton, of a buggy and dead mare. There was nothing about the buggy or dead animal to indicate when or under what circumstances the animal and buggy got there, nor was there any rame or other mark about the vehicle to indicate to whom the fix belonged. The animal was detached from the buggy, end was abcut fifteen feet from the vehicle. On the animal was the harness, and the deputy sheriff was satisfied that death had ensued at least five days ago. Tracks made by the vehicle indicated that the horse had been driven from up the country and not from the direction of this city. The vehicle has a red running gear and light body. In it was a summer robe, from which the monogram had evidently been cut to prevent identification as much as possible, and this cir stance is regarded as suspicious by the inty officers. There Was also in the vehicle a guano sack, in which was a feed of wheat for the horse, indicating that the animal protably belong- ed in the country. The officers are certain that the horse did fot run away and enter the woods of its own accord, for in this event the vehicle would no doubt have been broken, and then, too, the animal could not have detached it- self from the vehicle without damaging the ness. The horse was certainly driven into the woods and unhitched. The woods belong to Mr. Roland Moore, and the abandoned horse and vehicle were only a short dis- tance from the house of William Linkins. ‘When Deputy Sheriff Jones had made a thorough investigation of the vehicle and contents, he made known the facts to per- sons living about the Wheaton district, giv- ing a complete description of the vehicle, but no one was found who could throw any light on the affair, So far as could be ascertained, no one about the county had seen the vehicle, nor had any strange man been seen about Wheaton. Now the county officers are conducting an investigation of the affair, and are en- deavoring to ascertain to whom the horse and buggy belongs, and under what cir- cumstances the outfit reached the woods. Until the officers ascertain the name of the owner they will not have much to go upon. It is possible, they think, that the driver may have fared the fate of the horse and died in the woods. In order to ascertain this a searching party was instituted this morning and a thorough search of the woods is being made. Deputy Sheriff Jones came to the city this morning and saw Inspector Hollin- berger about the case, giving him a descrip- tion of the vehicle. The records were searched, and although several missing animals have been reported from other sections, no "e answering the description of this animal could be found among the missing ones. The police here will render the Maryland officers all the assistance in their power. _—_—_ EXCURSIONS. Another all-day excursion to Chapel Point will be given by Capt. Randall next Satur- day. The Point is a lovely place, and dur- ing these dog days of heat is a cool, de- lightful retreat. The steamer Harry Ran- Gall will leave Saturday at 9 a.m. Tickets for the round trip are twenty-five cents, Today the Morris pony aggregation will be seen in their wonderful performances at River View. The exhibitions will be given at 8 p.m. The Sunday appearance of the twelve sagacious animals made a pleasing impression, so much so that today’s boats will doubtless be crowded. The Pentz leaves at 6:45 p.m., the trip continuing to Indian Head, stopping at River View both ways. Tomorrow an excursion will be given to River View, under the auspices of the St. Donainie’s Conference of the St. Vincent de. Paul Soclety,for the benefit of St. Dominic’s parish. It is likely that there will be a very large crowd carried down on all the boats, and a most enjoyable day is to be had by those going on this trip, as plenty of attractions have been provided for the young and old. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 10 a.m., 2:15 and 6:45 p.m, —_—.—_—_. Counterfeiters Arrested.

VY The Pythian Camp Bekpming White With, Canvas. > Disappointed by ¢he Railroads —Be- The tented town began to be today. The first tent of the Pythian encampment was pitched before noon, apd soon dozens of canvas mansions were flapping their white wings. When the first stake was driven there was a strong ‘tendency on the part of the fifty workmen and the half hundred bystanders and the scores of interested Pythians and encampment officials to cheer, but the work proceeded without any inter- ruption because of boisterous demonstra- tions. Those present were Maj. Gen. Car- nahan, commander-in-chief of the Uniform Rank; Mr. Lawrence Gardner, chairman of the committee on camp and camp ground; Mr. James McNabb, jr., secretary to the same committee; Mr. Richard Good- hart, chairman of the Pythian executive committee and chairman of the subcommit- tee on the réception of the Supreme Lodge; Col. Harry Coggins, commander of the first regiment, U. R. K. P. of the District of Columbia; W. T. Mockabee, past grand chancellor of this jurisdiction; Mr. Notley Anderson, chairman of the Pythian com- mittee on camp and camp ground and a member of the citizens’ executive commit- tee; Mr. George E. Emmons, secretary to the citizens’ executive committee, and oth- ers. The first tent to reach the grounds was one of a load brought by Knox's ex- press, and was dumped at the extreme southeast corner of the camp ground. Dur- ing the wait Gen. Carnahan told of some of the disappointing experiences which he had with the trunk line associations in the mat- ter of the reduction of rates. He stated to the gentlemen present that he had worked harder than he had ever before done, or probably ever would again, to accomplish a result. And yet, in this particular, no re- sult had been accomplished. The Grand Army would soon cease to be a feeder for the railroads; it was only the question of a few years when the order would cease to be. He was a Grand Army man himself. So were thousands of the Knights of Pythias. The Knights of Py- thias was a young organization, founded on eternal principles, destined to grow in greatness and in strength as the years rolled by. It would be a permanent feeder for the roads, and yet despite all this rea- son the reads had refused to do what was right. The Pythians did not expect per- haps as Icw a rate as prevailed at the time of the last encampment at Kansas City, but they expected as fair a rate as grant- ed to other organizatior s. The tented city is to be ready for oc- cupancy on the 25th of August, and the first body of men to march in will probably be the first regiment of the District of Co- lumbia. At a meeting of that regiment last night, held at 421 llth street northwest, it was ordered by Col. Harry Coggins that the command should assemble at Marini’s Hall at 10 a.m. on Sunday, and attend service at Foundry Church, to be contucted by Chaplain-in-Chief Sanderson of the Uniform Rank. At 3 p.m. of the same day the regi- ment will assemble at 7th and K streets northwest and march into camp. The po- sition in the camp hag not yet been as- signed to them. Probshiy the regiment will have dress parade on Sunday evening in the White Lot. Matters are beginning to become enthusiastic. Business establishments, and particularly houses of public coi t, are beginning to adorn themselves with holiday bunting, and everywhere house frente are being lighted up with blue, yellowjand red. ——_o.—_—_ FOR §$0UTHERN DEVELOPMENT. Good Progress Made by the Promoters of the Comiag, Convention. Splendid progress was made last evening at the regular meeting of the promoters of the southern development business meet- ing that is to be held im this city next week. The headquarters, , at parlor 10, Wil- lard’s, were well fited- with representative southern men, and something very near a permanent. organization was effected. Judge Samuel Blackwell of Alabama was chosen permanent chairman of the committees in charge, and) Mr. S. W, Reiley of Tennessee was made secretary, with four assistants, as follows: B. J. Laudry, Louisiana; W. O. Bradley, South Carolina; J. K. Jones, jr., Arkansas, and J. L. Mock, Georgia. Mr. H. H. Colquitt of Georgia was made gen- eral manager of the convention, and the following members of the reception com- mittee were selected as the chairmen of the state subcommittees: Alabama, Gen. Charles M. Shelley; Arkansas, J. C. Little- page; Florida, D. H. Yancey; Georgia, E. B. Speer; Maryland, E. P. Baldwin; Louis. jana, W. G. Crawford; Mississippi, L. Q. C. Lamar; South Carolina, T.

Superintendent Davis of the street clean- ing department has submitted to the Dis- trict Commissioners for their approval the new schedules for sweeping the streets of Washington and -Georgetown. The con- tracts for sweeping and cleaning the im- Proved alleys for the year ending June 30, 1895, and ‘for cleaning the unimproved streets and alleys, as also hand-scraping Pennsylvania avenue and contiguous streets, have been made at such reduced rates over those of last year as to make it possible, With the fhcreuse of $12,000 in the congres- sional appropriation over that of last year, to sweep during the year just entered upon about 350,000,000 square yards of streets, or 100,000,000 more than were swept during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, Under these new schedules most of the streets that have heretofore received but one sweeping a week will receive two, and streets like East Capitol street from Ist to 1th east, Maryland avenue from ist to 15th east, 11th from East Capitol to River street, Pennsylvania avenue from 2d to 11th east ord Sth from Pennsylvania avenue to navy yard gate, heretofore swept twice a week, will be swept three times. Other streets in different sections of the city will be swept more frequently than hitherto, which will give a cleaner city than has ever been had so far as streets are concerned. words, Maj. Davis says he can expend about $85,000 for sweeping the streets this year as against $60,000 last year. RATHER DIE THAN LIVE. BODY ENTIRELY BROKEN OUT IN ONE MASS OF SORES. COULD NOT SLEEP.
