_——— THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. CAMPERS AT COLONIAL Washingtonians Who Are Spenting the Summer at the Beach. Im Hotels, Cottages and Under White Canvas—Camps With Queer Names. Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLOSIAL BEACH, Va., July 30, 1895. From the present outlook ft Is possible that another means of connection between ‘Washington and Colonial Beach will be established in the near future. The Vir- ginfa, Fredericksburg and Western Rail- way Company is seeking to construct a road through the northern neck peninsula of Virginia, which embraces the counties of King George, Westmoreland, Northum- berland, Richmond and Lancaster. The company proposes to run the read from the extreme end of the “neck” formed by the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers to its main line at Fredericksburg. A branch line will be run from Fredericksburg to Colonial Beach. To accomplish their object - the ratlroad people want each of the above named counties to take $30,000 worth of stock, payable in thirty years, bearing 5 per cent interest. Voting on the matter of taking the bonds was held Thursday in all of the counties. The ballot box for this (Westmoreland) county was held at Oak Grove, about eight miles distant from here. In case the railroad people come out ahead the bonds will not be taken until the road is actually constructed and at least one train a day running. Social Events.

Wilkins. On Saturday, August 3, The Star will be- gin the publication of “The Long Arm,” story by Miss Mary E. Wilkins, which won the first prize of $2,000 offered by The Even- ing Star in connection with several other newspapers for the best detective story, Out of the hundreds of stories sent to compete for the prizes offered, the judges awarded the first prize of $2,000 to ‘The Long Arm,” which proved to have been written by Miss Wilkins in collaboration with Mr. Joseph E. Chamberlain. The thousands of Washington admirers of Miss Wilkins’ delightful stories of New England life will be much interested in this departure in her choice of subjects, The story will begin on Saturday, and several daily installments will be re- quired for its completion. a Serious Trouble Not Likely. It 1s now thought there will be no trouble of a serious nature with the Pottawatomle and Kickapoo Indians in Kansas. Sheriff Naylor of Holton, who failed in his efforts to arrest several obstreperous Indians, hag not carried out his threat to call upon the governor for troops to ald him in arrest- ing the accused Indians. The trouble grows out of a lease of a certain hay land on the reservation to the whites. A MYSTERY OF HEROISM ————_—— A DETAIL OF AN AMERIOAN BATTLE BY STEPHEN ORANE. ——SS (Copyright, 1895, by Irying Bacheller.) The dark uniforms of the men were 80 coated with dust from the incessant wres- tling of the two armies that the regiment almost seemed a part of the clay bank which shielded them from the shells. On the top of the hill a battery was arguing in tremendous roars with some other suns, and to the eye of the infantry, the artillery- men, the guns, the caissons, the horses, were distinctly outlined upon the blue sky. When ‘a piece was fired a red streak as round as a log flashed low in the heavens, like a monstrous bolt of lightning. The men of the battery wore white duck trousers, which somehow emphas‘zed their legs, and when they ran and crowded in little groups at the bidding of the shouting officers, it was more impressive than usual to the in- fantry. Fred Collins of A company was saying: “Trunder. I wisht I had a drink. Ain't there any water round here?” Then scme- body yelled: “There goes th’ bugler!”* As the eyes of half the regiment swept in one machine-like movement there was an instant’s picture of a horse in a great con- vulsive leap of a death wound, and a rider lezning back with a crooked arm and spread fingers before his fuce. On the ground was the crimson terror of an ex- ploding shell, with fibers of flame that seemed like lances. A glittering bugle swung clear of the rider's back as fell headlong the horse and the man. In the alr was an odor as from a conflagration. Sometimes, they of the infantry looked down at a fair little meadow which spread at their feet. Its long, green-grass was rippling gently in a breeze. Beyond it was the gray form of a house half torn to p:eces by sheils and by the busy axes of soldiers who had pursued fire wood. The line of an old fence was now dimly marked by long weeds and by an occasional pest. A shell had blown the well house eto fragments. Little lines of gray smoke ribboning up- ward from some embers indicated the place where had stood the barn. From beyond a curtain of green woods there came the sound of some stupendous scuffle as if two animals of the size of islands were fighting. At a distance there were occasional appearances of sw'!ft-mov- ing men, horses, batteries, flags, and, w: the crashing of infantry, volleys were heard, often, wild and frenzied cheers. In the midst of it all, Smith and Fergusen, two privates of A company, were engage in a heated discussion, which myolved the greatest questions of the national exist- ence. * The battery on the hill presently engaged in a frightful duel. The white legs of the gunners scampered this way and that way and the officers redoubled their shouts. The guns, with thelr demeanors of stolldity and courage, were typical of something infinite- ly self-possessed in tais clamor of death that swirled around the hill. Une of a “swing” team was suddenly smitien quivering to the ground, and his maddened brethren dragged his torn body in their struggle to escape from this tur- moil and danger. A young soldier astride one of the leaders swore and fume in his saddle and furiously jerked at th2 bridie An officer screamed out an order so yio- Tently that his voice broke and ended the sentence in a falsetto shriek. The leading company ef the infantry regi- Ment was somewhat exposed, and the col- onel ordered it moved more fuily under the shelter of the hill, There was the clank of steel against steel. A ileutenant of the battery rode down and passed them, holding his right arm carefully in his left hand. And !t was as if this arm was rot at ail a part of kim, but belonged to another nm: His sober and reflective charger went slowly. The officer’: face was grimy and perspiring and his un from was tousled, as if he had been in di- rect grapple with an enemy. He smiled S grimly when the men stared at him. He turned his horse toward the meadow. Cc 3s of A company said: “I wisht I had a drink. I bet there's water in that there ol well yonder!” “Yes; but how you going to git it?” For th3 little rheadow which intervened was now suffering a terrible onslaught of shells. Its green and beautiful calm had vanished utteriy. Brown earth was being | flung in monstrovs handfuls. And there was a massacre of the young blades of gtazs. They were being torn, burned, oblit- erated. Some curious fortune of the battle had made this gentle little meadow the ob- ject of the red hate of the shells, and each one as it exploded seemed like an impreca- tion in the face of a maiden. The wounded officer who was riding across this expanse said to himself: “Why, they couldn't shoot any harder if the whole army was massed here! A shell struck the gray ruins of the house, and as, after the roar, the shattered wall fell in fragments, there was a noise which resembled the flapping of shutters during a wild gale of winter. Indeed, the infantry paused in the shelter of the bank, appeared as men standing upon a shore contemplating a madness of the sea. The angel of calamity had under its glance the battery upon the hill. Fewer white-legged men labored about the guns. A shell had smitten one of the pieces, and after the flare, the smoke, the dust, the wrath of this blow was gone, it was possible to see white legs stretched horizontally upon- the ground. And at that interval to the rear, where it is the business of battery horses to stand, with their noses to the fight, awalting the comman@ to drag their guns out of the destruction or into it, or where- soever these incomprehensible humans de- manded with whip and spur—in this line of passive and dumb spectators, whose flutter- ing hearts yet would not let them forgét the iron laws of man’s cgntrol of them—in this rank of brute soldiers there had been relentless and hideous carnage. From the ruck of bleeding and prostrate horses the men of the infantry could see one animal raising Its stricken body with its forelegs and turning Its nose with rnystic and pro- found eloquence toward the sky. Some comrades joked Collins about his thirst. ‘Well, if yeh want a drink so bad, why don’t yeh go git it?” “Well, I will in a minnet if ych don’t shut up.” ‘A Jleutenant of artillery floundered his horse straight down the hill with as great unconcern as if it were level ground. he galloped past the colonel of the infantry, he threw up his hand in swift salute. “We've got to get out of that,” he rgared, angrily. He was a black-bearded officer, and his eyes, which resembled beads, sparkled like those of an Insane man. His jumping horse sped along the column of infantry. The fat major standing carelessly with his sword held horizontally behind him and with his legs far apart, looked after the re- ceding horseman and laughed. “He wants to get back with orders pretty quick, or there'll be no batt'ry left,” he observed. The wise young captain of the second company hazarded to the lieutenant colonel that the enemy’s infantry would probably soon attack the hill, and the lieutenant colonel snubbed him. ‘A private in one of the rear companies looked out over the meadow and then turned to a companion and said: “Look there, Jim.” It was the wounded officer from the battery, who some time before had started to ridc across the meadow, supporting his right arm carefully with his left hand. This man had encountered a shell apparently at a time when no one per- ceived him, and he could now be seen lying face downward with a stirruped foot stretched acress the body of his dead horse. A leg of the charger extended slantingly upward precisely as stiff as a stake. Around this motionless pair the shells still howled. There was a quarrel in A company. Col- lins was shaking his fist in the faces of some laughing comrades. ‘Dern yeh! I ain't afraid t’ go. If yeh say much, I will go!” “Of course, yeh will! You'll run through that there medder, won't yeh?” Collins said, in a terrible voice: “‘You see, now!” At this ominous threat, his com- rades broke into renewed jeers. Collins gave them a dark scowl and went,| to find his captain. The latter was con- versing with the colonel of the regiment. “Captain,” sald Collins, saluting and standing at attention. In those days all trousers bagged at the knees. “Captain, I want t’ git permission to go git some wa- ter from that there well over yonder!” “The colonel and the captain swung about simultaneously and stared across the meadow. The captain laughed. “You must be pretty thirsty, Collins?” “Yes, sir; I am.” “Well—ah,” said the captain. After a moment he asked: “(Can’t you wait?” 4 was itching Collins’ face. iad.” he said, in a plous sort of a voice. “Look here, my lad.” Col- lins was not a lad. “Don’t you think that’s taking pretty big risks for a little drink of water?” “{ dunno,” said Collins, uncomfortably. Some of the resentment toward his com- panions, which perhaps had forced him in- to this affair, was,,beginning to fade. “I dunno wether ’tis.” ‘The colonel and thé captain contemplated him fora time. =! “Well,” said the captain, finally. Well,” said the colonel, “if you want to go, why, go." <s Gollins saluted. “Much obliged t’ yeh. As he moved away the colonel called after him, “Take some of’ the other boys’ can- teens with you an’ hurry back, now.” “Yes, sir. I will” * The colonel and the captain looked at each other then, for it had suddenly oc- curred that they could not for the life of them tell whether Collins wanted to go or whether he did not. They turned to regard Collins, and as they perceived him surrounded by gesticu- lating comrades, the colonel said: “Well, by thunder! I guess he's going. (To be concluded tomorrow.) LATE SPORTING NEWS UMPIRES NOT TO BLAME. New Yerk Made Hits When They Were Needed and Wo: The game between the Washington and New York base ball clubs yesterday was in marked contrast with the one of the pre- vious day, and although the local nfen were again defeated, their udmirers had no cause to complain of the Mferior play- ing. Each side made an error, Hassamer and Stafford being the offending players, “River View” dropping a fly and Staiford fumbling a hot one. Each side also made nine hits and earned three runs. The umpiring of Messrs. Heydler ond Hunt was, on the whole, excellent, al- though in declfring Davis safe at second in the first inning Mr. Hunt was clearly wrong. The decision, however, did not af- fect the score. The visitors on three hits scored twice in the first, and in the next they scored one on Farrell's double and Hassamer’s drop of Meckin’s fly. In the third Tiernan knocked one oyer Abbey's head and easily scored a homer. Tiernan scored the fifth and last run of his clup in the fifth on a base on balls, Yan Hal- tren’s double and Doyle's fly. ‘The Washington men scored twice in the fourth and fifth innings. In the. fourth they scored on a base on balls and three singles, and in the fifth on four singles and a three-bagger by Selbach. The latter could have made it a four-bagger, but was senselessly held on third. Anderson and McGuire and Meekin and Farrell, the lat- ter being too good for Washington, were the batteries.

Washington and New York made the same number of earned runs yesterday and an equal number of hits, Lack of team work at the bat beat the Senators. President Hart expects to sign three new pitchers for Chicago at once. Anson is said to have written to President Young telling him that Umpire Jevne is incompetent, and that, too, on a day upon which Jevne gave Anson the better of bad decisions. f It is decided that double games with Bos- ton will be played at Baltimore on August 13 and 14. Two of these are of the three which were postponed by rain when the ex- champions were last in Baltimore. The third of these postponed games will be play- ed in Baltimore on September 13. it is said that 1,200 of Stlvetts’ friends from York, Pa., will attend the first two games. Jack used to play ‘there. Second Baseman’ O’Brien has been ap- pointed captain ‘of the Louisville team, Cincinnati fans are’kicking against Arlie Latham’s retention on the team. It is said that the eastern clubs will not play Sunday ball next season. Glasscock and Mahbney have been drop- M day. so Washington, through great good luck, holds tenth place. The Colonels unexpect- edly defeated St. Louis twice and deprived them of the chanc§ to“leave the eleven hole. ‘This year’s record is.little better than last year, as the table;pristed elsewhere shows. Umpire Hunt has certainly not deserved the abuse that hais been showered on him here by the local’players, whose senseless kicking has becorhe very tiresome.

George Dixon, the champion feather- weight pugilist of the world, won on a foul in the fourth round,-at Boston last night, a contest with Tommy Connelly, ex-amateur feather-weight champion pugilist of the world. The fight was under the auspices of the Union Athletic Club. Dixon and Connelly were to fight twenty- five rounds. Dixon was in excellent condl- tion, but Connelly appeared to be over- trained. The men weighed in under 126 pounds. In the first round Connelly won applause by cleverly dodging Dixon's fierce on- slaughts of body blows, but Dixon had the est of the round. In the second Connelly was not so lively, and received a series of telling blows on face and body and on top of the head. In the third Connelly was plainly afraid of his: colored antagonist, and, after getting In a sojid face hit, retired at the bell, weary and practically beaten. The fourth round was about two minutes old when Connelly was down. He lay there till six was counted, when his second, Hod; jumped —— the Topes and ted him to his feet. this palpable foul on the part of Hi is Ref- eree Bill Daly awarded the fight to Dixon. VIGILANT AND DEFENDER. The Latter Has Ket Shown Wonder- ful Supericrity. From the New York Times, Today. An effort will be made to have the big yachts measured before the Goelet cup race on Friday. It is estimated by several yachtsmen that the Defender’s rac- ing length is somewhere about 102 feet. That of the Vigilant two years ago was 96.18 feet, and, while changes have been made in her sail area, very little change has been made in her actual measurement. Her sail area is about 11,300 square feet, while that of the Defender is about 11,500 feet, or possibly more. The Vigilant’s water-line length ts 86.16 feet and the De- fender’s a little under 90 feet. These fig- ures would make the Defender’s racing length 102 feet. Based on these figures in today’s run the Defender “would allow the Vigilant 3 minutes 31 seconds. i In the cIxty-four-mile run yesterday the Vigilant would be allowed 5 minutes 3S seconds, so that, although the Defender was 2 minutes 45 seconds ahead, the Vig- flant would have won the race in spite of the Defender’s mishap. In the commo- dore’s cup race, over a_twenty-gne-mile course, the Defender would have to allow 1 minute 51 secorids, and, as the Defender only finished 1 minute and 49 seconds ahead, this would give the race to the Vig- flant. In her first race over a thirty-mile course, when the Defender finished 2 minutes’ 42 seconds ahead, the Vi; it's time allow- ance would be 2 minutes 38 seconds. These figures, while only based on approximated lengths, which are, if anything, in favor of the Defender, show how very close these two boats are together, and, with the ex- ception of one race, the second, the De- fender has not yet shown such wonderful superiority over the Vigilant as it was expected she would do. = DEFENDER AGAIN WON. First of the Yachts to Reach New- porte, The fleet of the New York Yacht Club ran yesterday from Sarah’s Ledge buoy, off New London harbor, to a point in Newport harbor, abreast the dumplings. It was a long spin before a twelve-knot wind, with ail sails set. The Volunteer was on hand, and so was the old Mayflower in schooner rig. These, with the Vigilant and the Defender, made the run an interesting one. A minute pre- vious to the start the Vigilant’s mainsail split at the leach near the end of the boom for a distance of nine feet, as telegraphed to The Star. It was soon repaired, how- ever, and the accident did not materially affect her signal defeat. The Defender got over the line first and widened away from the Vigilant from start to fisish. The old cup defender, Volunteer, made a good showing with the Vigilant, but was beaten by 12m. 3s. The Defender won by 12m. 2s. - Trotting nt Cleveland. At the Cleveland, Ohio, Driving Park yesterday afternoon a cold rorthwest wind blew almost a gale down the homestretch. The track was remarkably fast. Five thousand spectators were present. Azote was such a strong favorite in the free-for- all trotting that there was little interest in the race after McDowell had driven the bay gelding the first mile in 2.0646. 2.20 pace was the race of the day. Abeto was @ hot favorite, but it was ap- parent after the first heat that the mare as not in it, the fight being for the first two. heats een Gilman and Valeu, and after that between Valeu and Arcturus. Giiman broke badly in the third heat, and Hills laid him up for the next two heats, but darkness prevented a finish. Bouncer proved a surprise in the 2.19 trot, taking the race in straight heats after a hard struggle with Sidney McGregor, the favorite, Lady Wilton failing to get a place. Ningara Almost Won. The result of the race for the Queen's cup off Queenstown yesterday was for a time in dispute, the claim being made that Niagara hed wom, The gommitiee, how- ever, ruled that Britannia wes the winner by 14 secords.

Correspondence of The-Evening Star. LAKE GEORGE, N. Y., July 28, 1895. As the date of the open afr production of Dorothy approaches interest in the event is marked aJl along the line of travel. Already no less than five thousand dol- lars have been spent in preparation. One of the most effective features will be the magnificent electrical display throughout the grounds. Incandescent lights of all golors, like gleaming fireflies, will be strung ‘among the topmost branches of the maples that stud the sloping lawns—upward of one thousand and more—the dark trunks turned to glittering crystal by means of artistically prepared gold and silver dust, the whole thrown into relief by huge calcium lights, whose concentrated powers will be thrown directly upon the stage. This is to be beautifully decorated with young pine trees and flowers in pro- fusion, with hop and corn fields in the distance, bounded by the natural scenery. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dunlop of Georgetown, D. C., have been spending a fortnight at the Lake House an‘l are greatly charmed with the spot. Upon first coming to Cald- well it was Mr. Dunlop's intention to m ly stop over for a few days en route to the Adirondacks,but they were so agreeably impressed that they will at least linger until the first week in August, when it is their intention to return home _ by leisurely stages, visiting the Catskills and other mountain resorts. Mrs. Dunlop has won many friends among residents hy her uni- versal courtesy and active interest in hotel entertainments. Their eldest son, Master Jas. Dunlop, ras acquired skill as an oars- man. Both the young feliows are social favorites, though taking little interest in the regular evening dances, that prove so absorbing to the young people of the neigh- borhood. Large parties drive over from Glens Falls and Sandy Hill every evening to take advantage of the fine orchestra and smoothly polished floor of the big ball Toom. Gen. and Mrs. Jos. C. Breckinridge and family are at Camp Eador Hague, on Lake George, where they have as their guest Miss Myrick of Florida. Their son, who has been visiting them during the past week, has rejoined his ship, the U. S. S. Montgome! en route from Nicaragua with the United States commissioners. Dr. Delevan Bloodgood, U, S. N., and Paymaster George A. Sawyer of the navy own cottages higher up the lake. One of the prettiest island homes opposite Bolton, fifteen miles up, is owned and cc- cupied by Engineer Moore of the navy. With Dr. Wm. T. Hord, wife and son, who are sojourning in the neighborhood, they form quite a sociable naval contingent. Another well-known former Washing- tenian is Carl Schurz, who has built him- self a cozy retreat on the spot. Each year the list of private homes increases, to the social advantages of the community. —_—.__. NEW IRISH MOVEMENT. Parliamentary Remedial Measures to Be Opposed. The new Irish movement, the object of which is to form an open organization to redress Ireland's grievances and advocat- ing revolutionary measures, is about to take definite shape. A convention of delegates from Irish or- ganizations in the United States and Cana- da will be held in a few weeks, when a program for the working of the new move- ment will be formulated. A committee is now in session considering a time and place for the convention. In a few days the de- cision will be made pulic. Washington, Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Boston and Philadelphia are the cities most favored, and the probability is that in one of these cities the meeting will take place. THE BUSINESS MAN’S LUNCH. Hard Work and Indigestion go Hand in Hand. Concentrated thought, continued in, robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this also true of hard physical labor, * ‘When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse-power work something is going to breal Very often the hard- worked man toming from the field or the office will ‘bolt’ his food in a few anin- utes witich will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as uséful in the stomach as a keg of nails would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. ‘The nerves are weak and “ready to break,’’ because they do riot get the nourishment they req from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at- tempts to find rest in bed. The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to the busy man the full en- joyment of life and healthy digestion when ¢ takes Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty m and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. ‘The “Pellets” are tiny sugar-coated pills made of highly concen- trated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of all acute matters easily and thoroughly. They need only be taken for a short time to cure the biliousnes constipation and sloth! fulness, or torpor, o: the liver; then the “Medical Discovery” should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in- crease the blood and enrich it. It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do —but refreshed and fed on the food they need for health. If you suffer from indi- ion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and an: of the ills which come from impure bk and disordered stomach, you can cure yourself with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained at any drug store in the country.
