The camp is named in honor of Admiral Frank- lin Buchanan, who commanded the ram Merrimac in the fight with the Monitor, and who was afterward the senjor admiral of the | and the comman- ing offi in the fight with Admiral Farra- gut's fleet in Mobile bay, and who died in Talbot county, Md.. in i874. The o' ers of the camp, all of whom gained distinguished honor on the southern side during the late unpleasant- ness, are: Commander, H. Ashton Ram- first Heutenant commander, John Gill; d Eeutenant commander, Charles Mar- tnird lieutenant commander, Ran- rton; adjutant, Winfield Peters; * rancis T. Miles; treasurer, Sam- uel H. Buck; sergeant major and secretary, John McWilliams. of se officers, Commander Ramsay wes the chief engineer of the Merrimac, and af- terward lieutenant colonel in command of the naval battalion in the confederate army. Lieut. ‘Commander Gill was sisnal Sergeant in Fitzhugh Lee's division of cay- alry. Lieut. Commander Marshall is well known as assistant adjutant general and military secretary on the staff of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Lieut. Commander Barton Was assistant adjutant general in the famous Stonewall brigade. Adjutant Peters served as lieutenant, commanding soldiers in the ambulance corps in the Army of Northern Virginia. Treasurer Buck was on the staff of Lieut. Gen. Holmes. Secretary McWilliams was a ser- geant major in A. P. Hill's thirteenth Vir- ginia infantry, and Assistant Secretary - Grayson was a private in the second Mary- land infantry. The camp comprises some of the leading citizens of Maryland, and the members have announced their intention of taking an active part in the collection of funds for a grand confederate memorial hall or battle abbey, for which Mr. Charles Broa® way Rouss recently offered a contribution of $100,000. May 1 has been set aside as Memorial Festival day, and the S800 camps will then unite with the Daughters of the Confederacy and similar organizations to raise $0,000 as an additional sum. The following year another $0,000 is proposed to be collected in order to have $200,000 in hand before the building is begun. ROCKVILLE, say In the orphans’ court yesterday the fol- lowing business was transacted: Marshall H. Ward, administrator c. t. a. of Thos. F. ‘Wari, deceased, passed his first and final ac- count, and Mahlon T. Lewis, administrator of George W. Israel, deceased, passed his second account of the personal estates of their respective decedents, and Tuesday, February 25, was assigned the latter to Pess his final account and make distribu- tion of the assets in his hands amongst the creditors of said deceased. Frank Higgins, administrator of Jackson Hinton, deceased, was authorized to make a deed of convey- ance to Frank IL Marsden, and Loulse B. Perkins, administratrix of Bishop W.

Wilmot, executors of John H. Wilmot, deceased, and reported to the court was ratified and confirmed. Owing to the bad weather the meeting of the county commissioners held here on Tuesday was not largely attended, but a considerable amount of business was trans- acted. The following bills for public work Were passed and ordered to be paid: Third district—C. Q. Cooley (piking account),$31.05. Fourth distriet—C. C. Ricketts (work on bridge), $6.30; J. J. Stearn (road), $6.80; seme (piking), $11.60; Daniel Kraft (work on Georgetown pike), $10.80. ‘The case of John W. Watkins vs. the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company has been Femoved to Howard county, and a trans- cript of record has been sent to the clerk of the circuit court for that county. Mrs. Elizabeth Power, one of the oldest residents of this county, died on Monday at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M. J. Kemp, at Clarksburg, in the ninety-seventh year of her age. Mrs. Power was the mother- in-law of the late James S. Kemp, at one time a prominent democratic politician of this section of the state. Messrs. Wm. Viers Bouie, jr., and Edward . Peter, trustees, on Tuesday sold to Sala- thiel T. Mullican a house and twenty acres of land adjoining West End Station, at this place, for the sum of $1,801. This property Was formerly owned by the late Angelina Keys, and the proceeds will be divided among her surviving children. Mr. Edward Larkins, wife and child of Brunswick, Md., are guests at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rabbitt at this place. Dr. R. C. Warfield has contracted with Mr. Alfred Warthen of this place for the erection of a residence on a lot recently pur- chased on Reckville Heights. Considerable excitement was created here yesterday by a vicious cow that was being driven along the main street. The animal attacked several persons, knocking one man down, and causing several ladies and chil- dren to take refuge in houses along the street. No one was seriously injured. ———_ BROOKLAND. The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Méthodist Church had an enjoyable social last night at the church. Much interest and enthus- jasm was displayed. The program was un- usually good. There were recitations by Miss bessie Lynch, Edmond Wolfe, Doris Southall and Miss Eva Hurd. Miss Annie Hollidge, Mrs. McChesney, Mrs. I. S. Hol- lidge and Mrs. Groomes furnished some very fine vocal selections, which were greatly apprecisted. Dialogues were ren- dered by Helen Moore, Florence Owens and Mary Hollidge in “The Three Kittens,” and by Louise Hollidge and Lynwood Moore. All the numbers were loudly applauded and many were obliged to respond to en- cores. After the program the ladies of the church invited all to partake of refresh- ments. Dr. H. J. Penrod has been reappointed a notary: public by the President. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin of Eckington have moved to Washington. King David Lodge, F. A. A. M., had a pleasant meeting last night at the town all. This evening the Ladies’ Sewing Guild of the Church of Our Savior will give a paper tea in the guild room at the town hall. A large attendance is anticipated. Miss Sarah Willard Howe has issued cards for her first juvenile soiree, to be held Friday evening at the Brookland Hall, ‘There will be a fine exhibition of fancy dances by her pupils, after which the floor will be cleared for the older people. ——.—__ RIVERDALE. The leap year ball given by the ladies of Riverdale Jenuary 31 was a great suc- cess. The hall was beautifully decorated with evergreens, American flags waved from all points of attachment, fit emblems of the freedom given to every lady pres- ent to take the initiative that is denied her during the three years indivisible by four. When darkness had fallen upon Riverdale laughing groups of girls were met on high- ways and byways, swinging lanterns, as they went for the expectant young men who were the objects of the old-fashioned search lights. The young gentlemen never appeared to better advantage than when accepting with timid grace the prompt re- quests for names to be inserted upon their dainty cards opposite the two step, waltz, quadrille, Varsouvienne, etc. The music was fine, the floor perfect, the dancing unin- terrupted and “all went merry as a mar- riage bell.” Some of the boys confessed to a_shriveling of soul at the contemplation of themselves as wall flowers, but the ulert committee saw to it that none were left to “waste their sweetness.” There were pres- ent Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, Dr. and Mrs. Mis, Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, Col. and Mrs. icGee, Mr. and Mrs. Van Norsdale, Mr. and Mrs. Weldon, Mr. and Mrs. Wagner, Prof. Gardiner and Prof. Corning. Mr. Ogden has been very ill for two weeks; friends have looked anxiously for the welcome report that he is better. Mrs. White is building a pretty new house east of the station, which lends itself 28 an attraction to that neighborhood. The order to stop work on the new elec- tric road is off, and agair the sound of the graders is heard in the land. Sabbath school was started Sunday last in Academy Hall. It promises to be a prominent feature of the community. It is under the direction of Mr. Preston and Mr. Britt. Forty-nine persons were pres- ent, the children being in the majority. A church is sur2 to follow. — LANGDON. Mr. D. J. Snyder and family are visiting kis brother-in-law, Mr. James N. Nash. Mr. William Catterton was taken suddenly ill Tuesday with a congestive chill. Mr. Henry Mills has been called to Lang- don on acccunt of the illness of his brother, Mr. W. T. Mills. The young people's prayer meeting will be held at the residence of Mrs. C. A. Baker, next Thursday evening, at S o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Sexton of Avalon Heights have been entertaining Mr. H. R. Perry and family of Washington. Mr. Bruce Ranch had a flying visit Tues- day from his brother, Mr. W. B. Ranch, of Warfersburg, Pa. Last Sunday afternoon, while playing with a large dog owned by Mr. Dewy, Pelham, the little son of Mr. R. C. Walton, was bit- ten on the hand. Dr. Alderman dressed the wound. The Langdon Whist Club, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. I. J. Baher, Mr. and Miss King and Mr. and Mrs. H. W. McNeal, met at the residence of Capt. and Mr. Bartlett of High- lands last Monday evening for a game of duplicate whist. After playing twelve boards and duplitate, refreshments were served. The score cards for the evening tallied about even, showing that a strong game haa been played and that the skill of the players was about equal. ‘The Rev. W. H. Chapman preached a very Interesting sermon last Sunday evening, in the M. E. Church, to an unusually lagge audience. ——.__ HYATTSVILLE. A large number of people attended the Masonic fair last evening, notwithstanding the continued bad weather. The various booths, paddle stand, ice cream and supper table were well patronized. Among the articles being voted for are a past master’s Jewel for the most popular past master; a Knights Templar charm, for the most popular Mason; a chair, for the most popu- lar minister, and a diamond ring, for the most popular lady. The Hterary and mu- sical program was much enjoyed. Miss Re- gina Fowler sang “The Sweetest Story Ever Told,” and was _encored. Master Newton of Washington recited several se- lections, which called forth storms of ap- plause from the audience. Miss Laura Lewis sang a solo, which was much appre- ciated. Among the Masons present were Dr. S. F. Newton of Washington and Chas. W. Learnnarda. The upper hall was crowded with dancers during the latter part of the evening, the music being fur- nished by a string orchestra. Mr. Geo. M. McFarland has resigned as one of the deputy sheriffs of Prince George's county. Owing to a lack of quorum the town commissioners failed to hold their regular monthly meeting last evening. _ HERNDON. Mrs, Ruth McKeen, who died Friday of last week, was the daughter of the late John Baker and widow of Rev. John Mc- Keen, who became pastor of the Congre- gational Church here in January, 1881. They were married in September, 1594. Finding the need of a milder climate, they went to Florida tn December, 1884. There he became pastor of a Congregational Church in the town of Inter Lachen, where he continued to preach till his last sickness, which occurred in 1887. He died in August of that year, and hig remains were brought here for interment. ‘The funeral services of Mrs. McKesn were conducted in the Ccn- gregational Church Sunday afternoon by Dr. Mason, and were very impressive. The remains were taken to Chestnut Grove and deposited beside those of her husband. She has left an only son, nine years of age, who will be under the care of his sisters— ee ees pomere bese nemer wife, re joward been & dian for the boy. se Lio Oak Grove, the colored settlement in the western portion of Herndon and the east- ern border of Loudoun county, has an_en— terprising population. This church (Bap- tist) has a membership of nearly 200. They bave a good church building with a bell, a good school housa with a flourishing public school, a lodge of Odi Fellows, in cennec- tion with which is a lodge of the Household of Ruth; a lodge of True Reformers, with a large membership, and they have recently organized a lyceum, which has for its ob- Ject the training of the young to think, write and talk correctly. Its officers are C. T. Ferguson, president; Frank Stewart, vice president; Jas. F. Jackson, secretary; Henty Valentyne, assistant secretary; Mrs. L. Woodson, treasurer; Frank Stotts, door- keeper; Wm. Berkley, assistant doorkeeper, and Rey. Robt. Woodson, chaplain. There appears to be an earnest desire that the rising generation shall improve the privi- leges which are so much superior to thore enjoyed by their fathers. ‘They are now raising funds to purchase an organ for the church. Mr. Henry Tolson, who went to Washing- ton in pursuit of the man Law, who robbed his boy and took his team from him last Thursday, found the team hitched near the railroad tool house between Vienna and Hunter’s Mill. The robber has not yet been secured. : Mr. Charles Richardson, son-in-law of Rev. Dr. Mason, is making the family a short visit. Mr. Grant Banister, who has been con- fined to his bed a number of days, is slowly improving. oo FIRING AT HOUSEBREAKERS. One Shot Proved Fatal to an Inno- cent Man. Shortly after midnight Monday night a man named Crawford, who keeps a general store midway between Hilton and Unton, tear Newark N.J., heard some.one trying to break into his store. Lying in wait with a gun, Crawford fired when the intruder came in sight and then, being alone, and fearing that if he showed himself he would be attacked by the man at whom he fired or by his comrades, if he had any, Craw- ford returned to his sleeping room and waited for daybreak. Then blood stains on the snow were followed to a blacksmith shop at some distance from Crawford's store, and in the shop was found a man mortally wounded. The man admitted that he had been shot while trying to break in- to Crawford’s store. He said his name was Snyder, and that he lived in Newark, but would give no other particulars about himself. He was brought to Newark. The Police do not know him. James Thzede, who conducts a beer bot- tling business in East 115th street, New York, living on the second floor with his wife and two assistants, was awakened during Monday night ty hearing some one on the roof. Sending his wife to call the workmen, Theede ran to a rear window, where he saw two men in the yard. He fired a rifle at them, but missed. Having teloaded his gun Theede again went to the window, and seeing a man standing on the fence took deliberate aim and _ fire ‘he man fell with a bullet in his side. I vestigation showed that the victim of Theede's shot was Franz Seidel, one of his workmen, who had been aroused by the robbers on the roof and had gone out to intercept them before 'Theede was awake. The wound Seidel received proved almost immediately fatal. ——_+e+____ CATHODE PHOTOGRAPHY. Following Up Rontgen’ Discoverte: From the New York Tribune. : The startling story which came to this country from Germany three or four weeks ago, about the possibility of photographing the interior of a human body without show- ing the exterior, by means of a newly dis- covered radiance, was generally received at first with much incredulity. People recalled the wish of an eminent essayist, inspired by sultry summer weather, that he could take off his flesh and sit in his bones, but dis- credited the idea that the ‘new light” would depict a living person In that airy costume. It was jokingly suggested that if this instru- ment of research had been available in time, it might have shown whether the poor little bird in “The Mikado,” which died singing .““Tit-willow,” really died from a broken heart or succumbed to a more prosaic dis- order. But from the first, a few electrical experts and medical men treated the matter seriously, and they have awaited further developments with great eagerness. And now not only people of scientific tastes and training, but nearly all wide-awake, intelli- gent men and women are discussing the facts thus far recorded,the theories involved, and the possible applications of Professor Rontgen’s discovery. At Yale Professor A. W. Wright secured some rather satisfactory results last week. In one of his tests he placed small spheres of platinum, brass and aluminum in a paper bex, packing the metal in cotton. He almed his Crookes tube endwise at the box and placed tehind the latter a photographic plate covered with black paper and a wooden board half an inch thick. The paper, paste- board, cotton and wood were almost trans- parent to the Rontgen rays, and cast only a faint shadow on the plate. But the metals were more distinctly outlined, the platinum most strongly, the brassnext and the alumi- num very slightly. In fact, the last-men- tioned metal has been generally found to be the most transparent of all the metals thus far experimented with. Nevertheless, if a medal of that material be photographed in Startling NICARAGUA’S_ FINANCES. In Good Condition Acgprding to Prest- dent ZelayWa/Messnge. Lewis Baker, United States minister to Nicaragua, has suppiief, go the State De- partment extracts frdjn'thj to congress of President Zelaya, to indicate the excellent financi## Standing of Nicar- agua and the materilil ‘progress made dur- ing the year. The president, who found a large deficit in the sreagyry when he as- sumed office, now reports that he has paid off $379,370 of the foreigsigdebt, which now amounts to but £285,600 at’ 4 per cent, hav- ing twenty years to rtin,“dnd has also paid $2,157,446 of the domeStié debt, and retains $713,179 In the treastry.‘ At this rate the republic would be frée bf debt inside of three years. It is not proposed, however, to keep on extinguishing the debt, but, in- stead, to apply the surplus receipts to the building of a railroad to connect Lake Nicaragua with the Atlantic at Rama, and there to connect with steamers to’ the United States and Europe, which is ex- pected to do much to develop the commerce of the country. The only reference to the canal concession in the president’s message is the following paragraph: “It has been‘a lamentable error to have set aside the great highway that nature has given us to connect ourselves with the Atlantic ocean, so that now it is nearly lost; and to mend part of this great mis- take the railroad to Rama will bring us in- to immediate contact with the world, and which will give us the material possession of that rich part of the Atlantic coast in which Nicaraguans have so many interests. But this does not mean to say that we ought to leave the river San Juan alone. We are obliged to do everything in our Power to construct that principal artery of the commerce and the most valuable and beautiful possession nature has given us.” The president also takes credit to himself for having reopened and bettered the pub- llc schools closed by his predecessor. ee es WELSH TIN MAKERS. A Dismal Picture of Thetr Condition by Consul Howells, A dismal picture of the condition and future prospects of the Welsh tin makers is drawn by United States Consul Anthony Howells in a report to the Department ot State. He says: The tin plate trade of South Wales has persistently, during the past few months, gone from bad to worse. When prior to the November elections ‘the ruinous effects or the Wilson bill on American manufactur- ers’’ was portrayed in certain newspapers there was much rejoicing on this side of the Atlantic. The optimism which asserted itself was remarkable, and when the facts were quoted as being against those who gloried because American failure meant British success, their reply seemed to be, as 1s always the case with such as are un- willing to ve convinced of being in the wrong, that it was ‘so much the worse for the facts.” Unhappily a crisis 1a at hand, and the only panacea suggested fs a general stop- page for a little time next month, provided no Improvement takes place in the mean- time. The consul incloses a printed call upon the men to suspend work in this fash- jon, but doubts whether it will be generally heeded, although as there are at least 100 too many mills in existence, the only re- course seems to be to’ check the output. As it is, scarcely one of;the works has been running regularly, there being at present nearly 170 mills idle with a prospect of an immediate increase of the number. At the office of the, New Haven Steam- boat Cénipany’ in New York’ an official of the line stated-yesterday that-there:is no truth in the story published in the morn- ing papers that the;steamboat Richard Peck ran on the rocks off WHifasitiie Mon- day night. . ——_—-e+_____ AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c.

In another test with coins in a leather pocketbook the Yale expert found that silver was more opaque than nickel, and nickel more so than copper; but the positions and size of all the pieces were well defined through the purse. Hence leather is found to he almost as transparent as paper or wood. On the other hand, clear glass, which permits the passage of ordinary light so freely, obstructs the cathode ray enough to cast a faint shadow. It 1s appar- ently more opaque than wood or the ebonite slides used to cover a sensitive plate in a photographer’s plate holder. Prof. Trow- bridge of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, a Harvard institution, has had a share in developing this latter fact. Exploring the Human Body. Experiments with human subjects, how- ever, possess the most fascination for the popular mind, if not for the scientists. One German expert Is sald to have photographed his own skull, taking a profile view. The bone obstructed the passage of the light so as to outline the form of the whole cranium fairly well, but the fleshy coverings were so imperfectly. outlined as to be practically invisible. There is no evidence, up to date, though, that the cathode ray will tell what is going on inside of a man's knowledge box, and it may be that we shall still be able to keep some secrets to ourselves, even if our purses and bodies are not proof against the new irquisitor. ‘There seems to be some differences in the testimony as to the opaqueness of bony mat- ter. Rontgen Is said to have secured pic- tures in which the bones of the hand cast a much darker shadow on the plate than the flesh. But Professor Wright is reported as finding a much less striking contrast. The Wurzburger’s case ts strengthened, though, by the statement that a Vienna surgeon has obtained information of a malformed ankle joint, besides being able to locate a bullet in a wound. Campbell Swinton, a London ex- pert, who has been particularly successful in his experiments, finds that the finger nails are transparent. Mr. Swinton, it is said, secured imprints of the bones of the hand so clear as to show the articulation of the joints. This revelation, taken with the al- leged detection of calcareous deposits in the interlor of a man’s body, suggests the possi- bility of getting information not otherwise obtainable relative to gout and rheumatism. How far the various organs in the body can be distinguished, and any abnormal con- ditions existing therein can be ascertained by cathode photography, 1s yet very un- certain. Dr. Neusse of Vienna is said to be meditating an elaborate series of experi- ments in this direction. The tissues which compose the organs are so much like the muscles, in chemical composition, if not in color and function, that much doubt is en- tertained by medical men on these points and also as to the possibility of studying cancer by the new method. To a certain limited extent the incandegcent electric light has already been used in exploring the human interior, the stomach and: face in particular. Lamps of special form are made for this purpose. The attempt has heen made, too, to throw luminous rays entirely through the human body with a pawerful arc light. None of the results thus far ob- tained in this manner are very satisfactory; but it remains to be seen whether the in- visible actinic rays that give the Rontgen photographs can be utilized to any better effect. ———++____ Barely Escaped With Their Lives. ‘The Keely Institute building at Ashland, Va., was burned yesterday.
