A large concourse of friends followed his remains to Congressional cemetery, where, draped with the flag he loved so well, his remains were laid to rest. The impressive burial services of the G. A. R. were per- formed. GUESTS AT CAPON SPRINGS The Annual Ball Was a Snuocessfal Event.

Acting Controller Bowers in a decision rendered today holds that a transfer from the volunteer service to the regular army, although in the form of a new enlistment, for the balance of the unexpired volunteer term of enlistment, is not such an enlist- ment as to entitle the soldier so transferred to veteran bounty. The service in the two tranches of the army is held to be a con- tinuous service. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN What the Local Weather Record for the Month of August Shows.
