It is now said by the friends of the late fapt. E. W. Nicholson, formerly in charge pf the treasury stables, that his death was wtirely accidental, and that he did not Jommit suicile as was at first reported. According to their story he was cleaning his revolver, when it exploded prematurely and gave him his death wound. The fun- tral of Capt. Nicholson took place in In- dianapolis last Wednesday. ————_— Charges Desertion. October 21, 1891, Mary Strothers became Mrs. Arthur Brooks. She has now petition- ed the court to grant her a divorce from her husband, alleging that the defendant, two months after their marriage, began a course of cruel treatment toward her, his abuses, eurses, threats and neglect making her life a burden to her. She also alleges that her husband willfully and maliciously deserted and abandoned her. Mr. Neill Wants an Advance. In the matter of the estate of the late Robert S. Wharton, estimated to be worth over $148,000, John L. Neill has filed a peti- tion claiming that he is entitled to a one- forty-eighth part of the sum, if his sister Sophia is living, and a one-thirty-second so if she is dead. Representing that he is straitened circumstances, the petitioner asks that $00 be edvanced to him, he be- ing willing to give bond for its return if he fails to establish his claim. ——__—. Mrs. O’Hara’s Claim. ‘A suit against the Baltimore and Potomac ®ailroad Company has been filed by Annie E. O'Hara, administratrix of her husband, Patrick H. O'Hara, who was killed by a train in the freight yard of the company the 26th of last August. The plaintiff al- leges that the death of the deceased was due to the carelessness of the railroad em- loyes, and, therefore, claims damages to e arrount of $10,00U. a The Property Sold. The Potomac Electric Light Company’s property in both the District and Virginia, comprising the power house and all ma- chinery therein, together with the poles, wires and franchise in the. District and Virginia, was sold at pubile auction on Saturday at noon. The price brought was $17,500. The purchaser was Mr. Wilder of Minnesota, who had advanced the money on the company’s bonds. He was repre- sented at the sale by Mr. A. H. Walkins of St. Paul. The amount advanced by Mr. Wilder is said to have been $25,000. The face value of the bonds taken as security Was $0,000. The stockholders lose every- thing. The auctioneers of the District prop- erty, Ratcliffe, Darr & Co., stood near the Virginia end of the Chain bridge and made their sale. The Virginia property was sold from the power house. Then the combined Property was resold from the bridge. There was an attempt made to stop the sale through the service of injunction pa- rs. The legal proceeding, however, was rdily made. The High View Hotel, owned by Mr. O'Gorman, the president of the electric company, was not included in the sale. —_—_—_—. Bay Ridge on the Chesapeake.

Characteristics of the American Na- tive Seen at the Camp.” PICTURES OF THE PYTHIANS LIFE Typical Incidents Met With at the Monument Grounds. GAY SCENES, AND CROWDS Time was when the rough, uneven com- mons surrounding an uncouth pile of mar- blz blocks were dotted by canyas peaks that covered a multitude of men with iron in thefr souls and the burning heat of war In their blood, who, as they paced the sentry lines that stern discipline laid down, looked across the silver stream that glided by and gritted their teeth over the deeds they swore to do upon the other side. There was little of the picturesque about that camp of the sixties. Everything was rigid and severe. Blue-coated soldiers went about their du- ties with alert precision. Muskets were stacked in front of tents, while horses At an Information Booth. chewed their forage from boxes placed on caissons in their rear. No crowds idly sountered through the narrow strects, save with permission from the powers of the government. Everything wore the frown of war. That time has gone so long that it is almost forgotten, save by the pages of the history it has made so bloody. Today the gentle,undulating grassy slopes, now gray and brown from the pitiless at- tacks of the drouth that even the hard rain scarcely relieved, are covered with the tents of an army of peace, and above it, pointing like a monitor to the sky, stands the completed shaft of the immortal Wash- ington, typifying the completed country, to which the principles he fought for assure perpetuity. Some years ago another multi- Tired of Sightseeing. tude, bent on a mission of gentleness, occu- pied the same broad park, and for days the encampment of the National Guardsmen, who had gathered to contest with each other for soldierly supremacy, was the most attractive spot in the country. The present encampment of the Knights of Pythias is destined to be the same. Out of a seemingly untranslatable tangle of poles and ropes and wires and canvas a spotless city has arisen, and the thousands who have visited it already have returned charmed and anxious to renew their pleas- ure. ‘he flags that float in. profusion from peaks and poles are not thgwstars and stripes, yet they are emblems of a true pa- triotism and as hearty loyalty as the na- tional glory itself. The frowning mouths of cannen, the shining barrels of rifles are absent, yet in every tent are gleaming swords, and brave men willing, if need, to wield them valiantly in defense of their own or their country’s honor. Probably every thoughtful visitor who has gone to the camp has brought away a different impression from another of the various incidents he has met, but In every mind the idea has doubtless lodged that such an opportunity has seldom been of- fered to view the stalwart and earnest citizen of the Union in his varied and va- rious moods and manners. He is there from every part of the country, and his tent flap is open to all the world. It is here may see the energy of the western rican illustrated to a striking degree. The Irrepressible Westerner. While the visitors from the north, south and east content themselves, for the most part, with the objects that brought them here, and devote themselves to extending their fraternal acquaintance and strengthen- ing the ties that bind them together, the men from the boundless prairies bring the breath of their independence with them and dispense it to every inquiring nostril. A southerner gives you his emblem-covered card, and drawis forth a soft and cordial invitation to come and stay with him if you ever get, down in his neighborhood; the man from the north draws out his pasteboard, . Not Lost. teo, and asks for yours in return, with the hope that you will meet again; the easterner does the same thing, and dwells upon the growth of the order in his particular neigh- borhood, and wonders why you have not become a knight yourself. The westerner dces all these things, and more. His card comes out from a well-filled case and, nine times out of ten, if you appear to be a fellow, an envelope is also brought forth, and out comes a silken badge, similar to the one that is pinned on his breast, which is deftly attached to your coat lapel. Then is shown the “rustling” proclivity that ever marks the true westerner. He begins to talk about his section. He tells you of its splendid climate; its unrivaled agricultural richness; the magnitude of its resources, now lying fresh and almost un- touched in their virginity. He expatiates upon the social qualities of the people and the educational advantages that exist, and then he presses into your hand a circular or pamphlet containing all that has been said and a great deal more, all backed up by statistics, maps and pictures enough to familiarize you with the entire country con- tiguous to the town he hails from. ‘ How the Kansans Work. The Kansas men are particularly promi- nent in this respect, especially the members of the Mystic Division that hails from THE TOWN OF TENTS THE EVENING SPAR, MONDAY, AUGUSD:2% 1@94~TWELVE PAGES. keeping careless callers from feeding the prectous literature descriptive of the glories One of the Big Knights. of Girard to the two mascots that they brought along—fat, sleek, sharp-horned and even hungry goats, which rejoice in the names of Mascot Jim and—of course—Mas- cot Grover. But even the watchfulness of the entire command did not prevent Grover from feasting on a copy of the tariff bill yesterday morning, and he felt bad all the afternocn in consequence. Life in the Tents. It would take columns to recount the many striking characteristics of the camp; indeed, one might as well attempt to con- vey an intelligent description of a kaleido- scope. The tents are all alike, save the large ones used for headquarters and other important purposes, but they contain a va- riety of contents, both animate and other- wise. In some of the canyas abodes the fair hand of woman is in evidence in the dec- orations, while upon undulating tent flaps are pinned many a picture of dear ones, Whose sweet faces are, like their prayers, turned Washingtonward from far-off homes. Bachelors’ quarters, especially those of old bachelors, are easy to pick out. There is no covering on the earth save the dry, gray grass; the cot is covered with the regulation brown coverlet; a small hand- glass hangs from the tent pole, and a trunk or chest stands half open, just Itke a man's, in full view of the passers. The old bache- lors’ tents are only like those of the young bachelors and the married men in the pos- session of yellow-painted wooden buckets. Some of the people around headquarters re- joice in gleaming new tin pails, but the bundreds upon hundreds of small tents are every one equipped with yellow wooden buckets. They are aggressive in their nu- merical strength. You see a knight sitting down writing away to his home folks upon a book resting on hts knee, and under him you will see an inverted yellow bucket. Four genial Pythians are regarded with in- terest as they vie for supremacy in a game of duplicate whist. A camp chest is their table, and their reats are the all-pervading yellow buckets. ‘They are here, there and everywhere. You stumble over them in the twilight as you pass down the tented streets; you meet them in lines going to and from the hydrants; you see them perched like sen- tries at every point of vantage; they are impressive and supreme. Good Nature of the Knights, The interior of the camp is as quiet and peaceful as such a plice could well be kept. There is no noise, no confusion, and the knights pursue an even tenor of life that is full of incident of surpassing importance to themselves, but which does net obtrude it- self upon the thousands of strangers who surge up and down through +the straight streets and broad avenues trying their best to preserve that good behavior which makes prying curiosity impossible. The knights well understand that they are individual Parts of a great attraction which will prove an object lesson of vast importance in edu- cating thoughtful men in the beneficent principles the great ofder represents, and so they submit with much good humor to the Tempting. inspection of the crowds, and proceed with the burnishing of their buttons and swords, the furbishing of gold lace and polishing enameled epaulets, and the score and cne other duties they may be engaged in, an- swering questions with equable courtesy, and submitting sometimes to inquiry that borders closely on impoliteness with imper- turbable geniality. Even the heavy rain scarcely disturbed their equanimity. Sel- dom, indeed, has a gathering been brought into one place whose individual members are so conspicuous for the qualities enumer- ated above, and so on the first day of the encampment a pleasant understanding has been reached between the knights and their visitors which cannot fail to make the monument grounds a popular point in the public estimation. Lively Scenes on the Outskirts. Peaceful as it is on its interior, the town of tents Is lively and bustling on its out- skirts. The streets leading to the reserva- tion from every direction are lined with fakirs of every description, save shell three- card monteeand similar dishonest individ- uals. The visitor runs the gauntlet of hum- ble sidewalk merchants, no matter which thoroughfare he adopts, and is invited to buy everything from a badge to a brown bread and bologna sandwich a dozen times over. Candy, fruit, popcorn, ice cream, peanuts, lemonade, cake, doughnuts and the omnipotent snowballs are for sale wherever a tree gives shade enough to pro- tect a vendor and his wares, and the ncarer you get to camp the thicker they are. On the southern and western edge of the carrp itself, however, the scene is striking. No country fair, with its catch-penny de- vices eliminated, ever presented a more pic- turesque effect. It is Donnybrook without the fighting; the Atlantic City board walk deprived of its merry-go-rounds, its roller coasters, its amateur Ferris wheels and, of course, its surf and sand features. But the same variety of cammercial activity abounds, and the same species of crowd, so = —— ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure.

It is a gay, glad place to visit, is. the Pythian camp. It teems w interesting and instructive sights. It shows in an epitomized way a composite picture of American character at its best and truest and it illustrates how the great principles of benevolence, friendship and charity can bind human hearts together with bonds of brotherhood so strong that they are tn- dissoluble forever. Behind the glamor and back of the glare, this is the true signifi- cance of the village of virginal white whose peaks are glistening in the eunlight that bathes the monument to Washington in a baptism of glory. eee DR. LEON’S CASE. e Affidavits Submitted in Support of a Motion for a New Trial. Counsel for Dr. Edward Leon, convicted of manslaughter in causing the death by abortion of the unnamed infant of Miss Es- telle Beach in October last, have filed sev- eral affidavits in support of motion for a new trial, which, they claim, destroy the veracity of the prosecuting witness, Miss Beach, and establish the innocence of their twice-convicted client. The affidavits, it is asserted by the man’s counsel, show that another physician, then having an oflice near that of the defendant, performed tie abortion, and that Miss Beach was there- fore mistaken when she positively swore that Leon was the man who performed it. It is also intimated that Mr. Harvey Given, a clerk in the District attorney's office, en- deavored to intimidate one of the witnesses during the seccnd trial of the man. Argu- ments on the piction have been postponed until Wednesday morning, when Judge Cole, who presided at both trials of Leon, will dispose of the motion. > — AMUSEMENTS, Academy of Music.—W.
