Major General Butler left camp this morning fcr Manassas, where he intends to select a suitable camping ground for his division. Unless his plans misearry he will have returaed at noon tomorrow. The time of departure for the Ist Division, the corps headquarters and the hospital corps has not yet been determined, but all three de- tachments will probably start on the march next Wednesday. Word has reached camp that the 2d Division stopped over for a day at Burke's station, and so delayed the re- turn of the wagon trains an entire day.

INJUNCTION: Hearing of Argument Before Equity Court of District. OF ANSWER DEFENDANT Hearing was begun in Equity Court this morning in the suit of the Purcell Envelope Company of Holyoke, Mass., against Post- master General Charles Emory Smith, Justice Cole presiding. The complainants seek an injunction against the Postmaster General to restrain the cancellation of a contract with the Purcell company to fur- nish the Post Office Department with stamped envelopes and newspaper wrap- pers dor a term of four years. The com- plainants were represented in court by Mr. Hoehling, who is associated with Mr. J. M. Wilson, and Mr. John C. Fay. The Post- master General was represented by Mr. Henry E. Davis, district attorney, and Mr. Hurrison J. Barrett. The contract was awarded to the Purcell company by former Postmaster General Gary, by netification and official order. When Mr. Smith succeeded 10 the office he refused to sign the contract. The conten- tion by the complainants is that the con- tract as awarded is valid. The defendant says this is a question for the court to de- termine. Mr. Davis declared that if the complainants have a contract they have an adequate remedy in law in the Court of Claims, while if they have no contract they are notin court. The hisiory of the case has already been published in The Star, as well as the con- tention of the complainants. er General's Answer. of the Postmaster General It is denied that the con- Purcell company was duly objection by the Post- It is averred «iat the are that the contracts, after having been executed by the complainant, were transmitted to and received by the Pos master General, but were never signed by Postmas: tract with the xecuted without er General. him, and were, in not ¢ 2 Postmaster Ger .

It is not admitted, howevet, that the Purcell compary at that time had in its possession all suitable and reeessary facilities with which preperly to commence and carry on the said contract o: was able to carry «n the same. : Postmaster General Smith denies that the contract as awarded in the manner set forth in the bill of complaint constituted a valid and binding contract cr gave the com- Plainart any vesieG right. The question whether such contract exists, or if the complainant has any vested right is a que tion of law for the ceurt. Mr. Smith ad- mits that he has set aside and annulled the contract with the Purce!l company by an official order, has erdered an advertisement for new proposals, and that it is his inten- tion, unless restrained by the couri, to award a new contract. It is said that any preparations nade by the complainant company for carrying out the contract are immaterial. An Allegation. In the answer it is alleged that Mr. Smith made further investigation and decided that the complainant was not a suitable. or proper person or body politic to be intrust- ed with the carrying out of said contract. It is lastly alleged that if the complainant bas any vested right it has adequate rem- edy at law. Mr. Fay opened the argument, declaring Mr. Smith’s act in annulling the contract a “high-handed action.” He said that all the other bidders are members of the envelopc trust. It w now proposed to shut out the Purcell company, the only competitor. He said there was no adequate remedy for the complainants in the Court of Claims, and it is not competent for a suc- cessor in office in such a case to refuse to sign a contract awarded by the prede- cessor. At this point a recess of half an hour was ordered. Opens for Defense. When the court met at 1:30 Mr. Barrett took up the opening argument for the de- fense. During the course of the attorney’s re- marks Justice Cole declared that he thought it a very peculiar ground for a government officer to take to say that he would annul a contract for fear the successful bidders could not carry on the work, especially when a $200,000 bond had been furnished. He said he doubted the official's authority to take such action. This remark is regarded as a strong point in favor of the Purcell company. At the conclusion of Mr. Barrett's argu- Ment an adjournment was taken until Tues- day next at 10 o’clock. —_—+—__ ‘AIRS IN GEORGETOW A Ice Famine Threatened — Improve- ments to P Street Bridge. A limited fcc famine exists in George- town, and the chunks of hardened water, regarded by many as so essential for com- fort in warm weather, cannot be obtained as easily a3 the dealers desire. The Great Falls Ice Company has only a limited sup- ply on hand, and this it is holding back, in the effort to make it last as long as pos- sible. ‘The Georgetown branch, where it received tons of ice every day, is now re- ceiving only as many pounds, and orders are given to sell only to the regular pa- trons. How long the famine will last is herd to state. There are no boats at the wharf unloading, and it-ts not known when any vessels will come.<:For the time be- jing the company will have to go through on limited sales, there-being no other means at hand to meetzthe emergency. The improvements, ongthe P street bridge are now practically campleted. The iron work in widening thé roadway of the bridge so as to make it dvenotvith the width of the street was finished some days ago, and_the new flooring is; almost ready for traffic. The flooring of the footwalk is also in place, while the approaches to the bridge are being given tHe finishing touches. The Commissioners ihave ordered that four gas lamps be erected: on the approaches, which are expected to furnish plenty of illumination. The contract with James C. Maguire for widentgg the street has been extended until August J5, the cost of in- spection to be charged: against the con- tractor. a2 oO The top of a large building just a little southwest of Rosslyn, Va., which is plainly visible from Georgetown, has been the cause of a good deal of wonder as a struc- ture. It is the new county court house for Alexandria county, the erection of which was begun several months ago. The walls of the building are cempleted, and work- men are now engaged in putting the roof on. When finished the building will be a great addition to that part of the county.

These | agencies, ft ts said, have proven a failure, and did not produce the results expected. The trouble seems to have been the want of publicity, the agencies not taking the trouble to let the public know they sold stamps. While each agency only received a small compensation frem the government, the pay, it was believed, paid for the trouble and kept the agency constantly suppited with stamps. There are thirty of these agencies, located as follows: Albert B. Acker, 1429 Pennsylvania avenue; John H. Becker, Willard’s Hotel; M. Birekhead, 1100 4th street; John C. Brown, 7th street and Rhode Island avenue; Wm. Burke, jr., the Raleigh: Lucinda D. Christmas, How. ard University; Joseph Bury, 1024 Pennsy vania cvenue southeast; H. T.

The abolishment of these agencies must not be confounded with the sub post office stations, which have proven a great bene- fit to the department, well as a_con- venience to the people. They will still be continued. —_-——.—_—_ MUNICI LODGING HOUSE, Annual Report of Superintendent Giving Statistical Data. The annual report of Mr. Lyman B.

D. E. Gra~es Chosen — Arrest for Theft—Other News. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., August 5, 1898. Constable R. H. Vincent Wednesday ar- rested Clarence Sharp, colored, aged thir- teen years, upon a charge of stealing 39 frcm Mr. George Dorr. It appears that the money was under the seat of Mr. Dorr’s ice wagon, and while he was serving a cus- tomer, the roll of bills disappeared. Sus- p'cion centered upon Sharp. The constable threatened to take the boy to Marlboro’ jail unless he would immediately return the money. Being thoroughly frightened, Sharp led the constable to the woods and extract- ed the money from a hollow tree. One of the most enjoyable lawn fetes of the s:ason was held Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. J. A. Blundon for the benefit of St. Jerome’s Catholic Church of this place. The spacious grounds were illu- minated with scores of Chinese lanterns and the dainty beoths elaborated with national colcrs. Those who assisted in the entertainment were Misses Elizabeth Blundon, Edith Gal- lart, Eva Fowler, Corinne McFarland, Mrs. George E. Riley, Mrs. Grachette, Mrs. E. O. Castell, Messrs. Eimo Guista, Wm. Guis- ta, W. J. Hickey, J. F. Hickey, Riley, Cecil Gallant and Paul McFarland. Capt. Roger Bellis, state’s attorney for this county, is spending the summer at Berkeley Springs, W. Va. A movement is afoot to have the town cemmissioners establish a large cistern for the use of the public. At the present time there is no public pump or well in the village. It is proposed to dig a cistern scmewhere near the center of the town and to connect it by means of pipes with the roofs of several of the larger buildings, whereby a good supply of water may be obtained at a comparatively small cost. A well has lately been bored in the new Perkins subdivision. It yields eighty gal- jons of water per minute. Town Bailiff Charles W. Barr complains that he is having difficulty in collecting the annual dog tax. The bailiff announces his intention of capturing all dogs without tags and of holding them for forty-eight hours, At the end of that time, unless re- claimed by the owners, they will be shot. —— + A GREAT FISH CATCH, A Washingtonian Breaks All Records for Weight and Number.

They weighed 60) pounds, and were caught between the hours of 6 a.m. and 1 p.m. It is such a record as even the native fisher- men find it difficult to equal, and will prob- ably be the maximum for the season. ‘There is no climate for recuperation quite equal to what is offered by the coast of Maine.

WASHINGTON GROVE, August 4, 1898, By the return today of Dr. Wilson to camp an impetus was given the services of the day. Dr. Wilson had be2n obliged to leave the previous day on account of fliness. Mr. William Houghton conducted sunrise devotion at the tabernacle. The temple con- secration meeting at 9 o'clock was ‘y well attended. Mrs. M. E. Coken made a strong a.-peal for an entire surrender of each per- scnality to the Divine will. Rev. Alex. Bielaski of Union Chapel preached to a representative congregation at ll. A feature of the service was a solo by Mrs. Olin Leech. Her song was en- titled “Nothirg to Pa: The blackboard talk of Rev. William S. Getman at 4 o'clock attracted a goodly rumber of grown folks, as well as an in- crease in the attendance of the chiléren. The ark was made an interesting tepic for a half hour by the leaders, Mrs. Roact. and Rev. William German, and Mrs, Frances Woodman inspired the little peo- ple to sing with all their might./ Rev. William Harris conducted ‘the young people's vesper service, but a drenching rain storm distracted the atten- tion of the audience, and a song service Was substituted by Chorister Woodman to tide over the uproar of the elements. Later Rev. C. O. Isaacs preached to a full audi- terlum upon “Rep2ntance;” text, Psaims exix:56. “The Plains of Peace,” a con- tralto solo, was sung by Mrs. Olive Hough- ton, accompanied by Miss Smith. Sunrise Devotions. The first surrise prayer meeting the morning of the 3d instant brought to- gether a larger crowd of worshipers than has ever been seen on a similar occasion here. The tabernacle bell sounds at 6:20 a.m. to awake the shumbering cottaze! and at a quarter of 7 a burst of sacred song arises. Family prayer in the cottages exempt the householder from atter vpon this first tabernacle duty, but the service is held in the interest of those ©o- journing temporarily in camp. At the same hour young and old, the women of God had gathered in the West Temple for consecration. ‘They were led by Mrs. M. E. Cohen, and an hour wes srent in spiritual preparation for the united endeavor to be mac Rev. Mr. Gill pre mon, discussing earnestly the comm given to the tweive aposiles. One hundred children met at Mrs. Clara Roach’s at 4 o'clock p.m., and spent a half hour in song, led by Mrs. Frances Wood man. Rev. Win az made a_fine blackboard, story Heart of Ch ley Brown,” w tention, and delighted many of the full- grown children attracted thither. “Fervent, Effectual : theme of the v Hallie Wise, organist. These meetings deservedly popular, and the first atter ance was an earnest of the success of the series. The climax of this day of rare good things was the evening service, when Dr. Frank M. Bristol of Metropolitan M. E. Church, Washington, preached to an over- flowing audience. His text was Acts, xviii: ‘And he preached Christ.” It was the doctor's first message to the camp, and it was the verdict of many that no more powerful and inspiriting camp meeting ser- mon has ever been given to this peopte. Mrs. Olin Leech, who is the cuest of her sister, Mrs. Arthur Middleton, sang “The Sweet Story of Old.” Personal Notes. Rey. Stowell L.
