CAMP ALGER DESERTED —EE SES Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAMP ALGER, Dunn Loring, Va., September 6, 1598. Authoritative information has reached the id Regiment, Virginia Volunteer In- fantry, that the court of inquiry which con- sidered recently the order issued by Gen. Buuler reflecting on that command has ex- onerated the regiment. The report was sent first to Gen. Graham and considered in his office. It then went to the War De- partment, whence the Information referred to was sent Col. Nalle. In substance the repert of the court em- braces the following data: Shortly before dress parade, August 8, a fight occurred be- tween a negro teamster of the Ist Division hcspital and a member of the Ist Division Hospital Corps, Lut a short time previously transferred to that corps from the 2d Vir- ¢ aia. The fight took place on the hospitai grounds near the camp of the Virginians, and resulted in favor of the negro. A num- ber of enlisted men afterward chased the negro across the hospital grounds toward the adjacent woods, some ten or twelve of them shouting “Lynch him!" “Hang him!’ This"party was composed partly of enlisted men from the 3d Virginia, the others being from the hospital corps and civilians. Al the Virginia men had left their camp in violation of the standing orders of the camp guard. The court finds that the guard sent to qvell the disturbance was not compeiied to use force, and that the Virginians returned to their camp by direction of their own of- ficers. There was some disorder in the Virginia camp, but not such as, in the opinion of the court, could be characteriz- ed fairly as riotous or insubordinate. Gen. Butler's Order. Here the court cites the order issued Au- gust 9 by Maj. Gen. Butler, commanding the ist Division, 2d Army Corps, to which detachment the 3d Virginia was assigned, and says, in substance: “By the terms of this order the regiment was credited with all responsibility for the disturbance; the officers and enlisted men were confined to the Mmits of their reg- imental camp, and were compelled to re- port daily at four roll calls; the regiment was arraigned as havirg iced the en- tire volunteer service and the state of Vir- ginia, and the adjutants of all the other regiments of the division were directed to read the order aloud to their men once each day. The court comments on this or- der, it is said, so far as to intimate that the author was influenced while preparing it by previous experience with the 3d Vir- ginia which had not been to his liking, and that the order was largely, perhaps main- ly, a consequence of his conviction that the company officers were unwilling or unable to exercise any control over the basta ne men, indicating to his mind a very ble lack of discipline. Concerning the Dre- vious experience mentioned the court of- fers no opinion. It is reported, however, that Gea. Butler testified that the second conclusion (his conviction that the officers failed to do their duty) was erroneously de- duced and is no longer entertained. Finally, the court does not consider itself authorized to make any suggestions as to further action in the matter, but expresses its opinion that, if the author of the order had been restricted, as the court was, to considering the conduct of the men belong- ing to the 3d Virginia Volunteers the night of August 8 only, and had possessed his present knowledge of the behavior of all the officers of the regiment shown to have been cognizant of the trouble, he could not, with his high sense of right and justice, have issued the order at all. Comment of Gen. Graham. Gen. Graham's comment on the report begins with a statement that Ger. Butler probably had very good reason for veliev- ing that the men of the 3d Virginia had been insubordinate in a manner subversive to military discipline. The testimony has, however, shown that he was mistaken. He then says: “Since such publicity has been given the affair, it would be only just to the regiment and to the state of Virginia hat the pubiie should know that the act which brought forth the order of Gen. Butler was not countenanced, but reprehended, by the offi- cers and by a great majority of the en- listed men of the regiment, and that it was not participated in except vy a few, for whose bad conduct the rest are suffering and the reputation of the regiment for alee cipline is injured. The order is, therefore, discontinued.” Home With a Clean Slate. Col. Nalle and his men are naturally de- lighted with the outcome of the inquiry. “We are, of course, very much pleased that this exoneration came before we left the service,” said the colonel to The Star re- porter this morning. “We are going home with a clean slate, without having reflected any discredit either on the service or the State of Virginia. Our people at home and the men in my command could not have been more keenly hurt by any other charge that could have been brought against the 8a Regiment, and so we are corresponding- ly relieved that that charge has been found groundless. We all owe Senator Daniel, Attorney General Montague, Representa- tive Rixey and Messrs. Hamilton, Moore and Peter our warmest thanks for their great kindness in'the matter. We shall go home now with light hearts.” After Thursday, unless all signs fall, Camp Alger will be no more. Final ar- rangements were made this morning to have the Ist Connéctieut leave tomorrow morning and the $d Virginia break camp Thursday. Headquarters will be transfer- red to Camp Meade at the time the Vir- ginia men leave. ~ = ‘The Connecticut Men. Col. Charles L. ‘Burdette of the Connec- ttcut command has hard at work for @ week past to induce the War Department to have his men sent back to Providence. Yesterday afternopn, after The Star had gone to press, he geturfed to his men with the news that he had succeeded at last, and all the formalities of mustering out would be conducted at home. The relief of the men was immediately made evident. They cheered and hurrahed for an hour, and then set about getting ready for the trip back to Narraganset bey. Once there,as was the case with all the other regiments that have gone home, most of their traubles will be at an end. e Ist Connecticut is cularly relieved to get away from however, because it was brought south from the most pleasant gar- rison service possible. When the Virginians go (Thursday) Gas are to take the train for Richmond, an will be mustered out there. Friends of the regiment ‘have hoped for a week past that their men might ‘be sent home before the time allotted by headquarters. Now, haw- ever, every one is delighted that they did not succeed before Col. Nalle was oes of the finding of.the court of inquiry. There is much sentiment attached to the fact that the regiment is going home cleared of all the charges made against it. Adjutant General Strong, Majors Butler and ‘Wright, the mustering officers, Major John Little, the commissary of subsistence; Major B. L. Howard, the quartermaster, and Major F. C. Cook, the division surgeon, will all leave far Middletown the same day, only enough men remaining behind to care for the sick and guard the government stores. ————— DEATH'S HARVEST AT MONTAUK.

The mustering out of the volunteers will be followed by vexativns and troubles for officers of the regular army and for many of the volunteers themselves. This is due to a misapprehension on the part of some of the Officers of the volunteer organiza- tions respecting the disposition of the prop- erty of the government which they have in their possession. The government will re- quire that every article be accounted for. Every officer or man in the volunteers who has charge of government property will have to account for it before he can be mustered out and paid. An Instance is re- lated of a governor of one state wto re- ceived two regiments of troops. He told them they could take thirty days’ furlough and go home. What became of all the equipments in their possession, which are the property of the government, the United States officers cannot tell. Some of these equipments belonged to the ordnance, some to subsistence and scme to the quarter- master’s department. Receipts were given for these equipments when received from the government, and the volunteer officers who gave such receipts will be held re- sponsible for them. Their pay accounts will not be settled until every article is accounted for. If men have carried home avy of the guns, revolvers, swords or any otker article, or if they have lost any of these articles, the cost will be charged against the men, and they will have the amount taken out of their final pay. The officers whose duty it is to make final settlements with the volunteers do not look forward to a very pleasant time, as information already received at the War Departinent indicates that there has been a great deal of carelessness already in the matter of herdling government property, and that which has been lost or destroyed has not been accounted for in a manner which will make settlement easy. The guns with which the National Guard was equipped when the call for volunteers was made, and which were brought into service by the volunteers, are the property of the United States. Instead of being turned into the state arsenals and armories, where they were kept before the war, they are to be re- turned to the United States. This require- ment will probably cause some confusion, for it is known that in some states volun- teers have already stacked their arms in the armories and arsenals of the states, and have not turned them over to a federal erdnance officer, as the order mustering cut troops requires. All these arms must be accounted for. It is the intention of the War Department to — supply the states when the guns arms are ac- counted for, but in onder 20) to keep a straight account in the department records it is necessary to have them all turned ‘over to the government. The same fs true of other government property. + + _____ Best values in Furniture and Carpets in Hoeke's Clearing Sale.—Advt. ‘ —_._—_ Named After Lieut.

Hofman Were Resi- dents of South Washington. ———_»— BODIES TO BE SENT HOME = ee en John Hofman and his son Edward of this city were murdered at their lumber camp, near Scotland, Surry county, Va., early yesterday morning. They were shot by @ man named John Schmidt, who was urder the influence of liquor when he com- mitted the crime. A telegram received here last night by Mrs. Hofman, who lives at 217 9th street southeast, gave the in- fcrmation that the murderer was ghot to death by the sheriff's posse. Mr. J. W. Kinlock, who was foreman of Hofman’s lumber works, sent the telegram convey= ing the sad news to Mrs. Hofman and her daughter. He gave no particulars of the affair. Today another telegram saying the bedies were on their way home was res ceived from Mr. Kinlock. Mr. Hofman’s home was in South Wash- ington at the address me ntioned, his family consisting of his wife, son, daughter and himself. While he and his son spent most of their time in the lumber camp, thi occasional visits hom ‘s azo Mrs. He ofman re from her husband son, and this sad intelligence following 60 closely upon the receipt of the bright and cheerful Jetter, Only a ed a le proved a severe shock to both Mrs. Hof- man and the daughter. The Murderer. John Schmidt, who committed the dou- ble murder, was a Cissipated man, and when he made trips to Wakefield and Sur- ry he frequently returned under the influ- ence of liquor. Early yesterday morning he went to Surry, the county seat of Surry county, and bought a gallon of “fire water.”* In addition to the demijohn of the liquid he drank about as much as he could hold. When he reached Scotland his conduct was that of a wild man, and during his carouse he met and killed both men. According to the information received from Mr. Kin- lock, the sheriff started in pursuit with a posse, and Schmidt was soon given a dose of the treatment he had administered to hig victims. Then a coroner's inquest was of little importance, and the bodies of M Hofman and son were prepared for shi ment. It is expected that they will rei here on a late train this afternoon. It is thought that Schmidt became of- fended at something said to him about his work. The Hofmans were cutting and saw- ing wood for McLean, the lumber mer- chant, in Baltimore. Mr. Hofman was an elder in St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, in South Washington, — Sa Return of Illinois Naval Militia. Commander Hawley is arranging to have the Illinois naval militia arrive at Chicago about 12:30 o'clock next Friday. By Thursday, when the men start from New York, he expects to have assembled about 450 of the Illinois men. They are now on the receiving ship Vermont, and as the vessel is crowded and warm, it is desira- ble to start them for home as soon as pos- sible. Commander Hawley will take the men to Chicago, and in addition there will be with the party Chief Engineer Harrie Webster, Boatswan Larkin and two junior militia oificers. = = — —— MARRIED.
