IFIRST REGIMENT District’s Quota Under the Call for Volunteers. GENERAL HARRIES 70 TAKE COMMAND Roster of Officers Who Will Serve Under Commission. REDUCTIONS IN RANE a Although nothing in the way of an offi- cial anrouncement has been made, it is definitely understood that Brigadier Gen- eral George H. Harries, commanding the District of Columbia militia, has prepared a roster of officers to command the regi- mcnt which will represent the national capital in the volunteer army. A num- ber of the officers of the guard were sum- moned to headquarters Saturday forenoon, and later in the day a second assembly was held, at which time, it has been learn- ed, the list of officers was read. According to the plan the District will put in service a regiment of minimum strength. There will be twelve companies. Each company will consist of about fifty- five privates, on> first sergeant, one quar- termaster sergeant, four sergeants, twelve corporals, one wagoner, one artificer and two musicians. The idea 4s to offer to the government a model regiment in every way. Although the command is to be made up of those who are at present con- nected with the District National Guard, it is distinctly stated that the regiment has absolutely no connection with the guard. The officers of the regiment selected from the National Guard will retain their com- missions'in the guard, being absent from the latter command on leave. Enlist2d men in the guard who volunteer will be on furlough from the guard. When the regi- ment is mustered out of the service of the United States the officers and men will return to their places in the District serv- ice. Regiment's Designation. The regiment will in all probability be known as the Ist D. C. Volunteers. An effcrt has been made to select the most desirable and efficient officers, taking every circumstance into consideration. Those rot chosen will remain in Washington as the District National Guard and may be called upon to perform duty at any mo- ment. In making up the regiment the plan followed was to retain, so far as pos- sible, the officers of the commands they are now with. Many officers of high rank in the guard drop several points in accepting office with the regiment, while in one or two in- stances men- will rank higher in the regi- ment than they do in the guard. When the plan was made known the expressions of dissatisfaction were surprisingly few. It was impressed on every one that the regiment is distinct from the National Guard; that it is a purely volunteer or- ganization, and that no one who does not care to do so need apply for membership therein. General Harries will command the regi- ment, with the rank of colonel. Lieut. Col. Charles H. Heyl, adjutant general of the District militia, who is a captain in the regular service, will accompany the regi- ment as leutenant colonel. The adjutant will be Willlam Edward Horton, his rank being first Meutenant. Lieut. Horton was originally captain of the Ordway Rifles, and for nearly ten years served as an aid on General Ordway’s staff, performing val- able service. For a long time he was em- ployed in the adjutant general's office, War Department. All in all, hé was consid- ered a very desirable officer for the regi- mental adjutancy. First Lieutenant John M. Field of the signal company, who 1s an officer of wide experience, will be the regi- mental quartermaster, and First Lieuten- ant Francis J. Woodman of the 6th Battal- fon will be regimental surgeon. He will have two assistants. The chaplain has not yet been selected. Rank as Major. Col. M. Emmet Urell of the 24 Regiment will be a major, as will Capt. Charles D. Hine of Light Battery A. Coijonel Urell's standing and reputation are too well known to require more than passing mention, while Captain Hine, as a graduate of West Point and as an officer of the army, gain- ed experience that well fits him to com- mand a battalion of the Ist District of Co- Jumbia Volunteers. The senior company of the regiment, which has been designated Company E, will have for its captain Lieut. Col. Richard A. O’Brien of the 2d Regiment. Colonel O’Brien is conceded to be one of the most experienced and valuable officers of the brigade, and his friends have no doubt thet his company will not only be at the head of the regiment when in line, but will also be quite equal to the other companies in efficiency. Colonel O’Brien first made a record for himself as captain of the Em- met Guard. He was promoted to the ma- jorship of the 2d Battalion, wearing gold leaves in his shoulder straps until last De- cember. When General Harries took com- mand of the brigade he recognized the standing and ability of Major O’Brien by immediately promoting him to the lieuten- ant colonelcy of the 2d regiment. Maj. Otto G. Simonson of the 5th Battal- ion will be a captain, as well as Maj. Fred- erick G. Hodgson of the 4th Battalion and Maj. Henry Looker of the 6th Battalion. Captains in the guard who will retain similar rank in the regiment are: Eugene C. Edwards of Company A, 2d Battalion; Harry Walsh of Company A, 4th Battalion; Charles S. Domer of Company C, 2d Bat- talion; William 8. Hodges of Company D, 4th Battalion; William T. H. King of Com- pany B, 5th Battalion, and Glendie B, Young of Company D, 6th Battalion. First Lieutenant Frank L. Graham, adjutant of the 6th Battalion, will be a captain. Rep- resentative John J. Jenkins of Wisconsin, a member of the House committee on the District of Columbia, will be a captain. Reductions in Grade. The only officers of the general staff who will be connected with the regiment are Captain Charles B. Hudson and Captain C. F. Cook, aids-de-camp. Captain Hudson will be first Meutenant of Captain Ed- wards’ company, while Captain Cook will serve as first lieutenant with Cap O'Brien’s company. Captain Dantel V. Chisholm of Company’ B, 2a Battalion; Captain Thomas 8. King, inspector of rifle practice of the Ist Regi- ment; Captain Jas. L. Mock, adjutant of the 24 Regiment; Captain G. C. Shaw, inspector of rifle practice, 2d Regi- ment; Captain George’ W. England, Ccmpany D, Sth Battalion, and _Cap- tain Frederick G. Stutz, Company B, 24 Battalion, will drop to first leutenants; First Lieutenant Richard D. Simms, adju- tant of the Sth Battalion; First Lieutenant Richard J. Harden, Company A, 4th Bat- talion, and First Lieutenant W. E. Crist, Company C, 24 Battalion, will retain their present rank. First Lieutenant C. A.

Hayes, Company C, 6th Battalion; Second Lieut. W. E. Sorrells, Company D, 6th Battalion; E. N. Meckins and Private H. M. Bell, Company B, 4th Battalion, and Mr. L. T. Bolseau. Lieutenant Meekins is an old soldier, and though he has not been connected with the District National Guard, the indica- tions are that he will prove an efficient officer and the best of reasons exist for making the appointment. Lieutenant Boiseau is the property clerk of the District. He was for many years a member of the 1st Battalion, proving himself to be a soldier of unexcelled merit and ability. His appointment was strong- ly urged by a score of influential citizens and officials. The Correct Roster.

Hayes, 8; W. B. Sorrells, 9; Meehan, 10; Horace M. Bell, 11; L. 'T. Boiseau, 12. Up to a late hour this afternoon no orders had been received from the War Depart- ment affecting the District quota of volun- teers, but it is practically certain that the regiment will be mustered into servicesand under canvas al the Soldiers’ Home by the end of this week. Colonel O’Brien has called a meeting of all members of the National Guard who desire to volunteer their services with his company to meet at 7:30 o'clock this even- ing in room 18, second floor, Center Market Armory. The company 1s to be organized at once, and only the very best material will be accepted. : A Preliminary Step. Captain Charles H. Heyl, 23d Infantry, adjutant general of the District militia, was today detailed as acting assistant quartermaster and acting assistant com- miesary of subsistence of the District quota of troops of the volunteer army. He had been previously detailed to act as muster- ing officer at Washington, D. C. —_—. Magnificent New Eaulpment for the Pennsylvania Railrond’s Congres- sional Limited. A few months ago, when the Pennsylva- nia Railroad Company replaced its olive- hued New York and Chicago Limited trains by the splendid equipment which now de- lights every traveler between the east end the west, it inaugurated a characteristic policy of improvement which has again been manifested in the superb new Con- gressional Limited trains between New York and Washington, one of which was on exhibition for the first time in Broad Street Station, Philade'phia, on Saturday, April 30. These handsome trains were constructed by the Pullman Palace Car Company for this special service, and con- tain a number of novel and important feat- ures. The exhibition train was composed of the Pennsylvania Railroad composite car No. 4819, Pennsylvania Railroad dining car No. 4462, Pullman parlor cars “Ogygia,” ‘“Oe- iB a,” “Aphrodite” and Pull- man parlor observation car ‘Electra.” In external appearance the train closely resembles the new Pennsylvania Limited— red name board, cream between the win- dows and dark green below. This coloring is further enriched by elaborate decorations in gold leaf. The interior of the train is a veritable palace. The woodwork throughout is ver- milion, ornamented with delicate inlaid marquetry in Persian designs. Each car is furnished in harmonic colors. The dining car and the parlor cars “Ogygia,” “Oe- none” and “Ocellina” are upholstered and carpeted in blue, the parlor car “Aphro- dite” in green and the parlor observation car “Electra” in dun. The composite par- lor-smoking and baggage car is upholstered in_ green with stuffed leather chairs, The dining car is a new departure and a unique creation. The tables are placed di- rectly opposite the windows, which are un- usually wide, instead of between them; and instead of the fixed seats usually seen in dining cars, this car is equipped with ma- hogany chairs so placed as to leave abund- ant room between the backs. The tables on one side of the car are somewhat longer than ordinary, while those on the other side are shorter, accommodating only two persons, In consequence there is nruch More room on all sides than formerly. The most noticeable new feature in the parlor cars is the ladies’ dressing room. This is a rounded compartment five and one-half by six feet, tastefully furnished and finished. On one side stands a beauti- ful dresser with a large plate-glass mirror and a number of drawers. This is flanked on each side by a plush wall or corner seat. On the opposite side is a metal washstand and the door to the ladies’ saloon. Besides these, the room contains several small closets and racks. Every lady traveler will appreciate this latest effort of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company to provide for her “The train 4 ted throu e in is carpet shout with Plain velvet in appropriate colors.

BATTERIES G AND M LEAVE. Midnight Supper Furnished the Men BeferesDeparture. Batteries G and M of the 4th Artillery, heavy artillery, left the Washington bar- racks last night presumably to guard the powder mills r.¢ar Wtlmirgton, Del. Short- ly after 9 o'clock last night the orders came for the batteries to pack up and take a train which was cheduled. to leave 9th and Maryland ‘avenue at 12:50 o'clock, but no intimation was given as to the exact destinaticn. A number of the men were out on passes ard messengers were quickly dispatched to notify them to return to barracks. There was a scene of busy activity about the yard until the iast wagon had been loaded and sent to the station. Battery G was under Capt. Ennis and Battery M under Capt. Fuger. Major Grugen commanded the detachment. Three batteries, D, C and E, of the 6th Artillery, remain at the bar- racks. A midnight supper was furnished the men before they left the barracks. The troops were in heavy marching order, each man carrying knapsack, haversack and centeen. The men carried the new army riftes. —_—__. THE CUBAN ADVANCE GUARD. A Party of Patriots OM to Tampa Un- der Gen, Julio Sanguilly. A party of Cuban volunteers accompanied by Gen. Julio Sanguiily passed through Washington yesterday on their way from New York to Tampa, whence they will go to Cuba and join the army of liberation. A short stop was made in this city, during which the travelers paid their respects to Gonzalo de Quesada,charge d'affaires of the Cuban republic in Washington. In conversation with a reporter, Gen. Sanguilly said his party was going as the advance guard of the Cuban corps, which, under the command of Brigadier Gen. Nunez, will co-operate with the American army of invasion. “This party will report directly to Gen. Calixto Garcia, under the protection of whose soldiers we will land. “We have received from Gen. Garcia a statement of the plans as to landing and will act accordingly. We expect to en- counter difficulty. Our landing place will probably be to the west of Havana, but it would manifestly be improper for me to go into details. We go, of course, prepared to fight, but we desire to attain our ends with as slight cost to ourselves or to our safety as possible. That is the reason for our secrecy. “I do not anticipate a long drawn out struggle. I believe that one--or, at the most, two—decisive blows will teach Spain the utter futility of further resistance.” a ROBBED OF CASH AND JEWELRY. New York Man Victimized by Laurine Belmont. A woman named Laurine Belmont, and who is known as Bessie Fitzgerald, was a prisoner in the Police Court today as a vegrant and suspicious person. Detective Weedon arrested her on a charge of having robbed a New York man of about $1,500 in diamonds and cash, but as the latter re- fused to prosecute the charge was changca. Her counsel entered a plea of guilty in the case and asked that her personal bonds be taken in order that she might leave the city. To such a course Prosecuting Attor- rey Pugh objected, because of the woman's reputation, and the court sentenced hcr to ninety days om the farm In default of a bond of $200. When the woman was first arrested by Detective Weedon she denied her identity, but later, when the New York victim call- ed and saw her, she told th> story of her experience with him. She was in New York when she met the hotel man and relieved him of $480 in cash and about $1,000 worth of jewelry, including a lady’s watch and diamond rings and a pin. From New York sh2 went to Reading, Pa., where she pawn- ed most of the jewelry. What she had left she pawned in Newark. Being a man of family her victim could not afford to ga into court with the case, but he wiil prob- ably recover his jewelry. The woman stat- ed that sh2 had lived in the disreputable section of this city for about one year. + THANKSGI iG SERVICE. Annual Observance by Grand United Order of Odd Fellows.

A number of old soldiers who served under Gen. Nelson A. Miles have sent him a communication, in which they say: “We, ex-Union officers and soldiers now serving in this office, and who served with you in the 2d Corps during our late un- pleasantness, having the same faith and confidence in your patriotism, valor and wise judgment as of yore, hereby ten- der our services to you and are will- ing to serve in any capacity you may and flag from the western hemisphere.” The communication is signed John Hancock, brevet colonel and assistant adjutant general; F. C. Jones, cap- tain 64th New York Volunteers; William P. Seville, captain 1st Delaware Volunteers; y. Davis, lieutenant 64th New York Vol- unteers; H. R. Stewart, lieutenant 145th Pennsylvania Volunteers, infantry; J. R. Hayes, surgeon 72d Pennsylvania Volun- teers; H. T. Hutton, 34th Volunteers; J. J. Purman, lieutenant 140th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry; H. Cushing, Battery G, 1st New York Light Artillery; H. C. Bradley, sergeant 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. A reply has been received from General Miles, in which he says: “I have your favor of the 22d instant, and also the tender of services referred to therein. Please convey to the veteran of- ficers whose names are appended thereto my grateful acknowledgments for their kind expressions personal to myself. Their fervid words in behalf of our matchless country in its present hour of trial tell eloquently that the fires of patriotism which spurred them on to chivalric deeds thirty-ve years ago are still aglow in their breasts, and that the valor so well attested on mzny bloody fields is still a lively real- ity.” DEATH BY HIS OWN HAND. Frederick Kaiser, a Prominent Busi- ness Man, Commits Suicide. Frederick J. Kaiser's lifeless body was found in his room at his home, No. 813 18th street northwest, Saturday morniag. ‘There was a bullet hole in his left temple and a revolver in his hand showed that death was caused by a self-inflicted wound. The deceased was twenty-six years old, was prominent in business, and a member of the firm of Wiimarth & Kaiser, deal- ers in china and glass ware at 1114 and 1116 F sireet. Saturday morning, when Mr. Kaiser fail- ed to appear at the usual hour at the store, his partner went to the house to see him, as he wanted him to open the safe. Then it was that he learned of Mr. Kaiser’s sad fate. Earlier in the morning Mrs. Flemming, who is the housekeeper for the Kaisers, called Mr. Kaiser, as was her custom. He answered and said he would soon be down stairs. He had not been in the din- ing room when she returned, after break- fast, and she went up to his room to make an investigation. She was shocked at the sight of the dead body, with the revolver clutched in the right hand. Mr. Kaiser's brothers and sisters had left the house shortly before the body- was found. Dr. Kelly was summoned to the house and found that life had been ex- tinct for at least an hour. The affair prov- ed a severe shock to the dead man’s rela- tives, who had not the slightest idea that he intended committing suicide. He. had shown signs of deepondency, which it is thought had resulted from business trou- bles, but there was nothing about his con- duct Friday night to indicate that he con- templated self-destruction. Dr. Kelly notified Coroner Carr of the affair, and a certificate of death, in ac- cordance with the facts, was given. The deceased was a son of the late Jus- tus Kaiser. For about six years he was a clerk in the store of Wilmarth & Edmon- ston, and after this firm dissolved partner- ship he became the partner of Mr. Wil- warth and opened the store on F street. He was unmarried. His funeral took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from his late home. —<__ Grand Commandery Meeting.

Cooper Shop and Warehouse Burned— Loss $4,500. Shortly before 11 o'clock yesterday an alarm of fire was turned in for a blaze in the cooper shop of James O’Reilly Kuhn and the frame warehouse of Joseph Blunt, lo- ¢ated on the canal, between Jefferson ave- ree and 3ist stre2t. The alarm was turned in by Policeman Delaney. It brought out a large crowd of people. The sparks from the burning frame bulldirgs ignited the roofs of 1053 and 1055 3ist street, and at one time it looked as though thse bulldings would be consumed. Prompt work, how- ever, prevented a spread of the flames, and the buildings escaped with no more serious damage than a partially burned roof. The cooper shop and the warehouse were almost entirely destroyed, entailing a loss of $4,500, Partly covered by insurance. The buildings were owned by Mrs. Rose Riley of New York city. The origin of the flames is re- ported as unknown, —_——.—__ It Pays to Talk Trath! In your ads.; successful business isn’t a bunco game.
