Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Va., July 14, 1898. Not a little consternation has been cre- ated here by the announcement that the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment might possibly be brought back to Camp Alger from its new quarters at Dunn Loring. If such a course is adopted it will be in consequence of poorer water supply than that afforded at the old camp, and will mean that none of the Ist Division regiments will be able to change weeks. ‘ When the 8th Regiment was ready to start yesterday morning its commanding officer received an order delaying its de- parture until ¥ o'clock. Then came a sec- ond order to the effect that the reginient would not move at all, and then a third di- recting the men to proceed at once accord- ing to the terms of the order published in The Star. The secret of this vacciiation on the part of the Ist Di was tnat information had been received that there was almost no water at all to be had at Dunn Loring, in excess of that need- ed by t quarterm: departments on du been let at le the constructien of a dozen é which were to have ago yesterday, and the quar partment went on the presumpuun these wells had beea completed. Wells Not Completed. But the contractors, as in many instances at Camp Alger, had undertaken a great deal more than they could perform. Out of the twelve wells that were to have been finished only one is ready for use. The others cannot be completed before next Wednesday. It would have been most un- wise, it is claimed, on the part of the medi- cal department to have permitted more than one regiment of infantry to proceed to Dunn Loring under such circumstances. Whether the &th will continue at Dunn Loring has not yet been decided. Gen. Gobin's brigade is now divided, two- thirds of the command receiving its sup- plies at one point and the other third at another point four miles distant. The quar- termaster and subsistence department are nearly driven wild, and it is deemed un- likely that any solution of the problem can be found that does not involve the return of the 8th to Camp Alger. In the meantime all sorts of efforts are being made to improve the sanitary condi- tion of the camp. Col. Girard has recom- mended that wooden floors be supplied for enlisted men, and has begun the constrac- tion of a contagion ward in the 2d Division hospital and a reserve bospital, to be held for special emergencies. As directed sey- eral days ago, all the company cooks in camp now boil the drinking water for the men, and the regimental surgeons, who have been relieved from duty at the di- vision hospital, have been directed to pay particular attention to that matter.

Police and Guards;Busy Arresting Of- fenders—Large Number of Blue Coats im Pelice Court. All day yesterday .ithe police were kept buzy looking for soldiers from Camp Alger whose leaves had expired. Guards from camp were also out in full force, and many of the volunteers were taken to camp under guard. The 24 Tennessee Regiment Was probably more largely represented than any other. Many menrters of this regi- ment have fallen in the hands of the po- lice during the past few days, among them, being the chaplain of the regiment. Those who had remained over time were found in different parts of tre city, chiefly in the ‘Divisibn” and in keer saloons. Most ef them had been drinking heavily, and scme had violated the Jaws of the District, which had called for their arrest. Real- izing the necessary hardships of the sol- diers during war times, the police have been extremely lenient with those in uni- ferm, but owing to their repeated viola- tion the police have been obliged to treat them as other offenders. During the day the police a1d the guards captured a great many of the soldiers, and those who be- longed to the 24 Tennesgee were not with- out company from other regiments. Almost every day a number of soldiers with expired passes go up on the after- noon train to’ Dunn Loring, as well as to Falls Church on the electric cars. It is stated that the punishment at camp is not ‘severe, and the men are satisfied to take it for an extra day in the city. Some of the volunteers who go from camp on a twenty-four hours’ pass leave with the intention of remaining away several days, the punishment not being sufficient to de- ter them. Carry Water and Saw Wood. “We'll carry water,” they are frequently heard to say;"‘or we'll saw \ ood.” They do not seem to think they are do- ing anything wrong and laugh and joke about their prospective punishment. This morning came requests similar to those of yesterday. The most sought-after man was James McConkey of the hospital corps. “McConkey,” his comrades all call him, and he is one of the most popular men in the whole camp. “He's a first-class man,” the police were told, “but when he indulges a little he goes to pieces.” Judge Kimball had several of the soldiers in court this morning on charges. SSugene Daley and George Ryan, members of the 7th Illinois, were among the victims, the charge against them being disorderly conduct in Harvey’s restaurant. Police- man Heller of the first precinct entered the complaint. The soldiers had been drinking, and the big-hearted policeman who had arrested them was anxious that the court should let them go. “Is this an unusual case?’ the judge asked when the men had admitted their guilt. “Well, your honor,” the officer said, would like to make*a statement.” “What is it?” Judge Kimball asked him. “These men were:in Harvey's,” the offi- cer answered, “and one of them disputed a bill, which he afterward paid. This man was profane and his friend was backing him up. ‘Now, your honor,” said the policeman, “I have been in the service myself, and I know that these men will be severely pun- ished when they return to camp. They have already been punished by being lock- ed up since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. They realize what they have done and are thoroughly ashamed of themselves.” The Judge's Comment. “And,” added Judge Kimball, “‘they ought to be ashamed of themselves. We've had enough of this misconduct on the part of soldiers, ‘and .when they are arrested and convicted they. ought to be treated the same as if they were not soldiers. I've been a soldier myself and favor showing them all the leniency possible.” “This is our last trip to Washington,” said Daley, “and I hope you will not be hard on us this time.” “I hope, your honor,”’: pleaded the offi- cer, “that you will see some way to let them go this time.” “I can't do it,” said the judge. “I want to be proud of our soldiers and volunteers, but when so many of them have disgraced themselves I think it is about time some- thing should be done. When soldiers come to the city there is plenty to see and enough places to go without going to drink- ing saloons and in the “Division.” The court. finally disposed of the case by holding the men for the provost guard and not impcsing fines. The soliiers had return raflroad tickets, and their leaves will expire tonight. They were extremely anxious that the court should release them and tet them go back before the arrival of the provost guard, but the court refused to change the order. Rhode Island Represented. James Drury, a young member of a Rhode Istand regiment, whose home is in Providence, was so sick when he was called to the rail to plead that he merely said “Guilty.” He had nothing to say when questioned by the court, and afterward said he was so sick he was unable to talk. James had been drinking rather freely, and an officer picked him up on 12th street, “Five dollars or fifteen days,” said the court. “Where will I be sent?” he asked the guard, when he had been put back. “To the workhouse,” he was told. “For how long?” “Two weeks.” The young man said he hoped his com- pany would not be ordered away before the expiration of his sentence, for he 1s anxious to go to the front. James Rooney, also a Rhode Island vol- unteer, then appeared in the dock. The court was told of the young volun- teer's conduct in a bar room yesterday. He was held to be put in charge of a guard. “y The Marine Corps. ‘There was a sergeant of marines in court to look after the interests of a marine named Peter Lyles, against whom there was a charge of destroying private prop- erty. He admitted his guilt, but claimed he had just provocation. “This man rang the door bell,” said Amy Carter, ‘‘and when I told him he could nof come in he kicked two panels out of the door and smashed two panes of glass.” “Was that his only reason for doing so much damage?” “Yes, sir. udge, your honor,” sald Lyles, “I went to this house, and as soon as I rang the bell the woman threw water on me, and struck me with a@ beer bottle.” The woman denied the charge, and Lyles was fined $5, which the sergeant paid, and the two went away together, ——_>—.

Staples the Complainants. IN THE EQUITY COURT ‘The contest over the law enacted at the recent session of Congress fixing the rates to be charged by the Chesapeake and Po- tomac Telephone Company for the use of telephones took definite shape today by the filing of two sults. In both cases the complainants are members of the Tele- phone Subscribers’ Association, and are represented in these proceedings by Birney & Woodard and J. J. Hemphill, attornéys for the association. One suit prays for an injunction, and is brought by J. F. Manning Co., telephone subscribers whese contract has expired, and who gave the company the required notice of ten days that they would not re- new the coatract. Subsequently a tender was made to the telephone company of the qvarter’s reat, according to the rates fixed in the new law, but the payment was re- fused by the compary. Now Manning & Co. come before the court and ask that the telephone company be restrained from re- moving the telephone from their premises and depriving them of the service. The other suit is filed on behalf of Mr. O. G. Staples, proprietor of the Riggs, Wil- lard’s and Nafional hotels. Mr. Staples is not new a telephone subscriber. He, how- ever, wishes a service for his hotels, and tendered the telephone company payment of the first quarter's rent for three instru- ments, according to the rates fixed by the new law. As the company declines to fur- nish the service at such rates, Mr. Staples applies to the ccurt for a mandamus to compel them to comply with the law. Similar in Terms. Both bills are alike in the subject matter. The one filed in behalf of J. F. Manning & Co. recites that the complainants are citizens of the United States, residents of the District, and the copartners, James F. Manning and Harry E. Rupprecht, are doing busii:ess under the firm name of J. F. Manning & Co. The bill further recites that they bring this suit in their own right. The defendant, it is stated, is the Ch peake and Potomac Telephone Company corporation organized under the laws of the state of New York, having its princi- pal place of business in this city, and that it is sued in its own right. After stating that the telephore company is in the business of furnishing telephone exchange service in the District and Mary- land to persons who contract to accept ard pay for the same, the bill recites that for the preservation of its business the tel- ephone company, with the assent of Con- gress and the District Commissioners, maintains underground and overhead wires in and over the streets of the city, and for certain hire allows messages to be sent over its wires by subscribers to ser- vice. It is further stated that the tele- phone company maintains a central office or exchange, and it is averred that the telephone company is a common carrier of telephone messages and is bound in law to furnish, set up and maintain telephones in the premises of all persons in Washing- ton who may request the same and nay the lawful charges thereon (such premises being upon or near to the lines of service wire established by the company). and to furnish such persons, their families. ser- vants, agents and employes connestiun through the telephone exchange with other telephones, and to suffer and permit them to send and receive messages over the lines of wire of the company. The bill then recites the contract made by Manning & Co., July 1, 1807, with the telephone company for telephone exchange service, which was to continue nntil July 1, 1898, and thereafter until such agree- ment should be terminated by ten days’ nctice in writing given by either party. A certain price was fixed in the contract to be paid by the subscriber and In accordance with the contract, it is stated, a service was furnished according to the true intent and meaning of the agreement. It is fur- ther stated that Manning & Co. have per- formed their part of the agreement. The 2d of July instant, the bill adds, Man- ning & Co. gave notice in writing to the de- fendant, that they desired to terminate the contrect, ten days after receipt of the no- tice by the company, and that Manning & Co. believe the notice was duly received by the company on@he ith of July, 1898. Provisions of the Act. The provisions of the recent act of Con- gress fixing the rates to be charged by the company for telephone service are given in full, and, proceeding, the complainants charge that it is now unlawful for the tel- ephone company to receive for the use of any telephone more than $30 per annum, end that it is the duty of the telephone company to furnish service to any person who may desire it and who will pay the rate established by the act of Congress above referred to. It is also stated that after Manning & Co. had given notice of the termination of the contract they delivered to the tele- phone company a notice in writing that they desired to retain the telephone equip- ment in their premises after the expiration of the contract and at the rate fixed by the act of Congress referred to. At the same time, it is alleged, Manning & Co. tendered the telephone company the sum of $12.50 as payment in advance for the first quarter-year of such service, and that the telephone company, “in defiant and con- temptuous disregard of the said act of Congress and of its duties under the law, refused and still refuses to accept the tender made by these complainants, as aforesaid, and has declared and still de- clares its purpose to remove from the said premises of the complainants the said tele- Phone and its appliances, and to refuse to render the complainants further telephone service after the said 14th day of July, 1895, unless upon payment of a much higher rato than $50 per year; that is to say, $145 per year in quarterly payments, with deduc- tions of $2.50 for each*quarter’s rent for Prompt payment thereof in advance.” Reasons for Injunction. The bill then proceeds to state as the belief of the complainants that unless the telephone company is restrained by the action of the court it will proceed to remove the telephone from the premises of the complainants, and their business will be greatly interrupted and injured. They thereupon ask from the court that the tel- ephone company be summoned to appear, and that it be restrained and enjoined from removing the telephone from the premises of the complainants. Action of the Court. After reading the Staples petition Chief Justice Bingham granted an order requir- ing the defendants to show cause on or before the 2ist instant why a writ of man- damus, as prayed for, should not be issued, In the Manning case for injunction Chief Justice Bingham, sitting in Equity Court No. 1, this afternoon ordered the telephone company to show cause also on July 21 why the injunction should not be granted. ———_ Attempt to Break Jail. Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock Sheriff Gordon of Fairfax county, Va., noticed some rag strings tied in a suspicious men- ner about the iron bars of the cell of the county jail, in which some white prisoners were confined. Upon examination he dis- covered that one of the bars had been sev- ered ‘and another nearly so, the strings serving to keep the bar in place, It is sup- posed that the work had been done by the prisoners, and that they would have made their escape during the night if it had not vethe cell was occupied by Charles Sergub, The cell was By J.

His Statement to the Court—Pleas of Others Arraigned for Vari- ous Offenses. George W. Horton, the ex-policeman who June 24 deliberately murdered Mrs. Anna Nicholson, afterward acknowledging the crime, was arraigned in Criminal Court No. 1 this morning and pleaded not guilty. When asked the pointed question by the clerk of the court, Mr. Gatley, as to guilt or innocence, the prisoner, looking directly at Chief Justice Bingham, who was on the bench, said: “My hands may have been guilty of the deed, but my heart was not in concert with my mind. I may be guilty in some re- spects, but not in others. I am not guilty of murder.” Horton was returned to jail. He stated that his friends are at work endeavoring to secure counsel for his defense. If Jus- tice Bingham decides to have jury trials this month it is possible that Horton's case may be disposed of before August. The jury in the court is incomplete and is re- spited until the 19th instant. The panel cannot be completed before the 20th, and trials may not be begun until two days later, as the law provides that defendants shall have a list of the jurors at least two days before being brought to trial. There will doubtless be a plea of insanity entered in Horton's case, and in such event the trial will necessarily be indefinitely post- poned. Oliver C. Moore, a scldier from one of the Pennsylvania regiments at Camp Al- ger, was arraigned cn the charge «f false Fretenses, and pleaded guilty. Moore was arrested for passing a worthless check for $25, drawn ch a Camden, N. J., bank, to B. Rich & Sons, shoe merchants of this city. Moore, it was learned, is paroled from the Pennsylvania industrial state re- formatory, and 4s an agent of t tution was in the city to take charge of the soldier, his personal bonds were taken by Justice Bingham. Moore will be revurn- ed to the reformatory to serve out his term of sentence. He says he wotld lots rather go to Cuba. Dennis Niland, the young white man who, in a fit of jealo.sy, and inflamed by strong drink, assaulted and dangerously wounded his sweetheart, was allowed to give bail in the sum of $2,000, with Mark Cook as surety. Niland stands charged with assault with intent to kill. Robert L. Taylor and Charles, allas Le- dates, Carter were airaigned upon indict- ments charging them with assault and in- tent to kill. Both pleaded not guilty and Were remanded to jail to await trial. Frank Fox yell, Alexander Adams, Rich- ard Moore and Edward Moore all pleaded not guilty to indictments for larceny and were remanded. —— $1.25 Baltimore & Return via B. & 0.
