HIS epS-3m,21 PIERCE STILL ABSENT. The Ex-Policeman'’s Failure to Ap- pear Causes Forfeiture of Bond. Ex-Peliceman James E. Pierce again fail- ed to appear in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning, his trial for breaking into and robbing the house of Helen M. Cooke, in Georgetown, the 20th of last December, having been continued until today. At the request of District Attorney Davis Chief Justice Bingham directed that the man’s bond be forfeited and a bench warrant be issued for his arrest. In the Police Court the amount of bail was fixed at $3.54) and he committed to jail in default. The Sth of last month, however, it was reduced in the Criminal Court to and Chas. W. Slater and Theos. W. qualifying as his sureties in that amount, Pierce was released on bail to await the action of the grand jury. He was indicted two weeks later, and, after pleading not guilty, w: allowed to remain eut on bail. The trial was set down for Wednesday last, but Pierce failed to respond, the trial being continued until today, as stated. When the case was called last week the man’s counsel, Mr. O. D. Barrett, explained that so far as he knew Pierce was in White River Junction, Vt. This morning Mr. Barrett state! that he is unaware of his client's whereabouts. Pierce's bonds- men will do all they can to secure his ar rest, having engaged a private detective to hunt him down. It was freely predicted about the city hall when Pierce was released that he would jump his ball. He is said to be in Canada ig One Sentence Ended, Another in View. Al. Collins, a young white man, was d livered over to Sheriff Foley of Fauquter county, Virginia, this morning upon a requisition from the governor of that state, to answer an indictment in Fauquier coun- ty. charging him with having last April broken into a railroad car there and rob- bed it. Collins yesterday completed a term of sixty days in the District jail for petty larceny. While in jafl he identified as betng one of the four men who broke into the car. Nevertheless, he dented in court today being one of the guilty parties, but he was again identified; and Chief Justice Bingham placed Collins in the custoG@y of Sheriff Foley, who left at once for War- Fenton, Va., where he will be tried. MET ITS WATERLOO Downpour of Rain Yesterday Deluged the National Guard. The Colored Separate Battalion is Making a Record. PROGRAM FOR MIMIC WAR od By Specie} Wire. CAMP WASHINGTON, Fort Washington, Md., June 14.—The District of Columbia Nationa? Guard has met its “Waterloo,” to a certain extent. Water, in the form of rain, yesterday afternoon, just ruined everything. . Preparations on a gorgeous scale had been completed to make the only Sunday of the encampment one to be re- membered, and everything ran smoothly according to program until 5 o'clock. Then s¢metiing happered. Dark clouds obseured the sun, and a few minutes later it not orly rained, but it poured. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands, of visitors in camp when the storm broke, and very few of them were prepared for inclement weather. The downpour continued for more than an hour, the visitors huddling in the tents and under trees. Many were drenched to the skin, and a damper was cast over everything, much to the regret of the guardsmen, who had hoped to make things as pleasant as possible for the folks from home. The grounds and roads were made muddy, and the trip from camp to the wharf was a disagreeable task. Gen. Ordway regretted deeply. that the omission of dress parade was necessary. Acjt. Gen. Mosher postponed the sounding of first call until nearly 6:30 o'clock, but as An Early Riser. the rain continued to fall, and the grounds were water soaked, retreat was sounded a few moments thereafter. The most exas- perating feature, though, was the fact that just as the majority of visitors left camp, and just as the evening concert by the band commenced, the full moon opened up fo: business, and the evening was as bright ard as thoroughly delightful in every way as could well be imagined. That some Hoodoo got in his deadly work the guardsmen feel satisfied. Was Quiet. Sunday was very quiet at Camp Washingten.. Company C, Ist Battalion, was mounted es exterior guard at 8 In the nornirg. The next feature was a religious service in the afternoon. No drills were held during the day. The Ist and 2d R ments attended the church services, form- ing a hollow square in front of the grand stand. The chaplain of the i pt. Dudley, was to have offi , but b was delayed in reaching camp, so Col. Cee Clay acted in his stead. The band assisted. A large number of visitors who reached camp on the steamer Macalester were in attendance at the exercise: Soon after they w ended, Companies A and D, 4th Battalion, were mounted a provost guard. While the visitors were i specting the camp at the conclusion of th’ ceremeny, the rainfall began. When the clcuds broke away, a long procession of dcwneast Washingtonians wended its wa te the wharf. Although considerable crowd- ing was noticed, pody succeeded in safely poz mers. The band concert was attended by a ma Jority of guardsmen, and after taps all was quiet. Capt. Slocum, accompanied Maj. OBrien, Capt. Riggs and ap order! le a tour of inspection among the sentinels, while Maj. Davidge, accompanied by Bri gade Ordnance Sergeant Kennerly, mad similar tour party. Many of the visitors dingd and supped at the mess tents. Every one was properly served, and all seemed to be sat- isfied. Today dawned as beautifully in camp as yesterday was disagreeable. The first cer- emony of the day was guard mount. Com- pany B, 1st Separate Battalion, is protect- a after the return of the first A Quict Time. ing the camp, with Capt. Meredith acting as officer of the day. The Ist and 2d Regi- ments were formed into one regiment, and under command of Col. Clay occupied the parade grounds for two hours this morn- ing, going through regimental maneuvers. The drill was somewhat of a revelation to the guardsmen, and was of a decidedly in- structive character. More drilling was in order this afternoon, and at 4:30 o'clock Company A, 2d Batt: ion, will be mounted as provost guard. Unless unexpected rain should put in an appearance, dress parade is booked for 6 o'clock this evening. The Band's Program. The band at this evening's concert will render the following selections: March, “Benegambia;"” “The Jolly Coppersmith,” “A Serenade by Niedlinger,’’ Foster's “American Fantasia,” “My Dream Waltz;" gavotte, “Captivating,” and ‘Mikado’ mearch by Sousa. At taps last evening the band, stationed at the tar end of the camp, played goftiy “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The percent- age of guardsmen in camp yesterday reached the high-water mark. Many of them, however, merely spent the day. The Nafional Fencibles will give an ex- hibition drill at 8 o’clock tomorrow even- ing at Rivér View, on the occasion of the excursion of the Union Veteran Union. ‘The drum corps of Encampment Ne. 6 will escort Capt. Domer’s men from camp to the excursion resort, transportation being furnished by the steamer Pentz. The officers of the National Guard at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon will be instructed in aiming and sighting drill, in rear of head- quarters, under the direction of the depart- ment of rifle practice. ‘This is flag day at Camp Washington, and although there is no general observ- ance of the occasion, it has not been over- looked by a single individual. The mem- bers of Company D, 4th Battalion, and Principal Musician Duvall were the first to display small flags this morning. ° THE OFFICIAL ESPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at WEATHER MAP. ® Partly Cloudy Cloudy. @ fain @ Soom 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.

She jumped lightly across, and then proceeded to walk one of the rails of the railroad track in order to es- cape the mud. An Entrancing Tableau. It was to be expected that she could not maintain her balance unaided, and Captain Cc. Sumner Domer, with his characteristic gallantry, supplied what was lacking. The tableau was really entrancing until that uncouth private yelled: “Break away, there, and stop holding hand: The outcry gave everybody in the mess tent the up. The lady in blue blushed scarlet and was pre tier than ever. Captain Domer didn’t blush and, it may be added, didn't let go. He is too old at the game.

Capt. Slocum was trapped into joining the crowd, and, oddly enough, there accompanied him the son of Maj. Godfrey of the 7th Cavalry. As they reached the front of the building the band struck up “Garry Owen.” In- siantly everybody in that vicinity was at “attention” ard every hat was off. It was a very pretty ccmpliment and well de- served. The Mysterious No. 13. People who delight in the mysteries of superstitious mathematics will be inter- ested in the morning report of the 2d Bat- talion for yesterday, which day, it will be remembered, was the thirteenth day of the month. Adjutant Anderson of the 2d is the person who first noted an altogether re- markable aggregation of figures. It was, as has before been stated, the thirteenth day of the month. In Company C there were 18 enlisted men absent with leave. In Company B there were 39 (mul- tiple of 1%) enlisted men present. The bat- talion total shows that there were 13 com- missioned officers, 14 sergeants and 13 cor- porals present for duty. The total number of enlisted men present was 130, which is a multiple of 13. The grand total present was 143; which is also a multiple of 13. Sixty-nine (another multiple of 13) enlisted men were absent. The total number of officers and men present ard absent was 213. If anybody can uncover a more ex- traordinary aggregation of thoroughly re- Mable figures, he or she is not likely to be found in a thousand years of life at Fort Washington. Incidentally it may be m tioned that there are 13 letters in the name of the commanding officer of the 2d Bat- talion—Richard O'Brien. The surgeon of the battalion is another 13 man—Romulus Foster. There are four companies in the battalion, and three of these are command- ed by officers whose respeciive names are composed of 13 letters—Eugene Edwards, Edgur Shilling and Charles 8S. Domer. Just what the awful thing is that is gcing to happen to the 2d Battalion nobody here can guess. ew la The reports of the medical officers of the y continue to show a highly satisfactory céndition of things in camp. The officer who served for twenty-four hours ending Sunday morning reported the general san- {tary condition of the camp to be good. The condition of the mess quarters, he said, had been carefully noted. The food served is excellent, in the opinion of the officer, the quantity abundant and preparation sat- isfactory. The dish water and garbage re- ceive proper attention, and no fault can be found with the guard quarters. The Culimary Department. It was real mean, that’s what it was,| First Lieut. George A. Drury of the En- *~ =a x the day yesterday, in bis report, submitted this raorning, said: “Special attention was paid to the condi- tion of the culinary department of the dif- ferent commands, the tin. basin: ery and ice chests being rigidly s These, without an exception, were found in perfect condition. The quantity, quality ard preparations were all that could be de- sired. Che dish water, slops and garbage were properly disposed of. Most careful inquiry as to complaints failed to reveal any worthy of note. The streets were well pcliced, the tent walls were looped and tent ficcrs placed in a perfect sanitary condi- cn. In conclusion, [ desire to make spe- cial mention cf the neattess ard cleanliness of the colored detachment, one of the sep- arate battalions. They deserve great com- mendation, and may well serve as a mcdel for the brigade. “When the tossing of bouquets is in or- der, the camp of the Ist Separate Battalion and the battalion itself should be made the turget for a vast quantity of flowers. Not a neater or a more orderly camp in any de- tall whatsoever can be found on the Fort Washington reservation today, nor is there a Lody of men under canvas more inclined to learn and to perform every duty con- scientiously, or who succeed better. “Maj. Frederick C. Revells being on leave of absence of sixty days, Capt. Ar- thur Brooks of Company A is in command. Capt. Brooks is a soldier. He does not merely wear a uniform and hold a commis- sion, but is a soldier in every sense of the word from head to toe. Part of his. er- viable reputation in the military ine has been eorned as military instructor of the colored High School Cadets. Those who had the good forture to witness the annual company competitive drill of the colored High School Cadets, held at the National Base Ball Park several weeks ago, realize to what extent the instructor must be pos- sessed of signal, tactical ability.

An inéident was witnessed by The Star correspondent which illustrates the effi- ciency of the sentinels. All officers and enlisted men should present a neat ap- pearance in camp and in passing about should have their blouses buttoned. This rule applies with particular force to the officer of the day and tne medical officer of the day. The latter official approached a colored sentinel Saturday, and the iatter promptly halted him and presented arms. The medical oilicer saluted, and was about to pass on when he was again halted by the soldier with the rifle. “I beg pardon, lieutenant,” said the senti- nel, “but your blouse is unbuttoned.” Tae medical officer flushed slightly, for the odds were against him. He saluted once more, buttoned the blouse and moved away at quick time. d the Symptoms.

YOUNG'S ADVICE, Views of Life Expressed in Baccalau- rente Sermon Yesterday. The onnual commencement exercises of the Maryland Agricultural College began yesterday at the institution, with the de- livery of the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates by Rev. James H. Young, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church South, Baltimore. Mr. Yourg’s text was: “What is Your Life?” ‘The minister urged the graduates to re- member that life is what we make it, and that it was a mistake to think that a man’s career is shaped by his surroundings. he said, bad much to do with a character, still individuality was the prime factor, and a man’s life is what he makes it by his own actions. He further urged them to remember that the young men going out from coélege must exercise their own power and individuality. This, he said, was an age demanding original thinkers, and no man could take another's methods and succeed. Culture and education helped, he said, in the formation of a man’s character, but these qualifications would not alone bring success. —————— If you. want. anything, try an ed. in The Star.
