mjjpimwr ' . 12 "THE- PITTSBURG. DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE ; '15, v1890. j f ?OCltjY If! ?lptll. The cottage by the sea deserted for the past eight months will resound with enough merri- ment within the next three to compensate for the loneliness and neglect it has suffered, unless present Indications prove erroneous; and the cottage in the mountains will receive the same social recognition, as everyone excepting those who are positively compelled to remain In the city, appear to be making arrangements for an exodus in advance of the heated spell. What a national custom this going away for the summer is becomingl In days gone by it was only the wealthier people who availed themselves of the salt water spray and the mountain zephyrs, bat nowa. days almost everyone takes an outing of some kind. It may not be a trip to Europe, which in the time of my mother, even, was considered quite an event in one's life and required some weeks of preparation by the majority of the people, bnt which has de generated into "a run across,' and is indulged In annually by thousands who think no more of it than they do of crossing one of the big lakes; or it may not be to the Yellowstone Park, a place that attracts such multitudes of people, and yet to some is practically unknown, as the quostion one dear, Innocent old lady ssked me last season as to whether it had a fence around it or not proves. But if to neither of these places it is somewhere, and one thing particularly noticeable regarding this now uni versal custom is that while there is certainly the most exquisite dressing seen, yet it does not figure as prominently as a feature of the seaside or mountain resort as in days of yore. Really for Comfort. The tourists or vacationists seem to think more or comfort and enjoyment, and laying in a good stock of nature's rouge for the cheeks by increased vitality, and gaining the good health that will insure them comeliness for the rest of the year than they do if displaying the results of their modistes' skill. True, there are any number of most strikingly picturesque - end decidedly fetching toilets to be seen at the resorts, but there are also any number of natty little outing costumes that with a bathing snit end a traveling dress form the entire wardrobe of many a pretty maid or matron that enjoys herself just as thoroughly as if attired in a dif ferent gown every hour of the day. And the young men say such girls are vastly more charming as companions, as their minds are sot taken np with their toilets. The ideal seashore maid is a most delightf nl creature. She apparently is never fatigued; bathes, yachts, swims, walks, plays tennis and dances with the same alacrity that she sits on the beach or swings in the hammock. And what a chatterer she is ! Everybody Get EnthnslaHtlc There is something in the very air that for bids drawing room conventionality and makes a j611y companion and comrade out of the demure, dignlhed, little mortal of the winter season. And, it has been said that severe, sedate matrons occasionally become slightly youthful ani gushing in their manner under the influence of the impregnated oxygen. Even Mrs. Harrison "thused" (in anyone else It would be gushed) so over the pleasures and joys of ber last season at the beach that she was rewarded with the keys and deed to a cot- taee by those to whom she "thused." 1 wonder if she realized what a bad precedent She was establishing as first lady of the land, and if many of the ladies, who would require several figures attached to their names, were they to be given rank, would follow her example. Doubtless they 'will, especially if they think there is any possibility of their efforts being rewarded in the same substantial manner. So, possessors of cottages or the wherewith all to purchase them, beware of the Eusher. Thokxe Bbaxch. AMONG JTJHE FXOWERS. Weddlnc nnd Other Social Events of the Week Just Ended.

Spoilt ?ktpty 11 & s The dog days are here, and the weather as an interesting topic of conversation is vindicat ing itself with a vengeance. It interdicts en thusiasm about everything except the weather. Thousands of people are beginning to look for some means of alleviating the misery of life in the city, and the dally rush away from the endless vistas of brick and mortar has already begun. The hot weather has given the death rate a boom, and It is now endeavoring to keep up the pace with the thermometer. Conse quently the exodus ot health seekers is dally Increasing. The summer resort hotels and cot tages are almost ready for the reception of guests, and during the next two weeks summer flitters will have a variety to choose from, as all will be thrown open by that time, and "the season" will be fully on. A prosperous and pleasant summer Is looked forward to by mine host on sea and shore, and the early exodus indicates that he will not be disappointed. The exodus of society people for Europe this year. In the belief ot the agents of the steamship lines, will be greatly in excess of 1S39. This year there is no special attraction, and yet every stateroom and cabin on the out going steamships Is engaged. At various times 'during 1SS9 the'eaptains and pursers gave np their fine rooms for considerations. ThU year even the steerage accommodations of some of the steamships are converted, by means of portable arrangements, into second-class ac commodations, and the companies reap ncn harvests. QUEER CUT OF THE SEA. Atlantic City Alrendy Filling TJp Early Bathers Attraction aad Personals. ISFECIAI. TILEORAH TO TBB DISPATCK.1 Atlantic City. June 14. The summer rush of seaside travel is on. No better argument could be advanced than the placing of extra railroad facilities for reaching this "Queen City of the Sea" to prove that the season has opened a full month earlier than sincothe place first became the summer borne of Phlla delpblans. But it isn't any longer the summer home of people from the Quaker City, but an "all year round" health resort for people from Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Washington. During the past week a great number of hotel guests have dally disported in old ocean. and basked on the beach in a bathing suit. Never before at this early stage ot the summer season were there such scenes of life and ani mation along beach and boulevard. Attrac tions and diversions without limit are offered to the stroller on the grand new ocean high way at every step, and the most exacting amnaement seeker has ample opportunity to indulge his skeptical whims. On the beach the little canvas cots and canopies so popular last summer are already in place, and the inevita ble red umbrella is conspicuous from one end of the strand to the other.

J., June 11 This grand old resort, at one time popular as could be, is coming back into favor, and It is astonishing to see how the travel to the place has increased over that of this time last season. Another thing which is in Cape May's favor is the coming of the President and family for the summer. They will not be here all summer, but part of it, and this will virtually make Cape May the summer capital for 1890. Among late guests have been a number of Pittsburgers. From indications more people willoome from your city this season than in many seasons past. The cottage at Cape May Point recently pre sented to Mrs. President Harrison by a syndi cate ot gentlemen, through Mr. William V. Mc Kean, editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Postmaster General Wanamaker, is most de lightfully located within 100 feet of the ooean, of which an unobstructed view is obtained from all the sides ot the bouse, with the ex ception of the rear. Tbo front of the cottage is directly south, and affords an excellent sight of the joining of Delaware Bay with the Atlan tic Ocean. Across the mouth of the bay the light from Cape Henlopen lighthouse shines at night, while at intervals of 30 seconds the flash from Cape May lighthouse is spread over the cottage. It is on a plot of ground 100 by 200 feet in depth, and is fenced off with a pretty two rail green fence with the posts topped In red. The cottage is 40 feet by 60. or the Queen Anne style, and is three storiesh!eh, built of wood, with broad first and second story verandas spreading all round the house. The structure Is painted in a light color, with dark bronze trimmings and shutters. The panels of the shutters are the color of the bouse. It is well supplied with windows, which Insures excellent vsntilation. The interior of the cottage is tastefully and conveniently arranged. It contains 20 rooms; six on the first and eight on the second floor. It Is finished in natural woods, with poplar pre vailing. In the center of the building, running from the entrance to the kitchen, is a handsome hallway, 11 feet in width by 40 feet In Ungth, at the rear of which is a handsome fireplace built of fancy clay tiles. At the back of the place Is a cast of a historical incident, probably taken from Spanish or Trench customs early in the eighteenth century. Overtho fireplace stands a mirror. On the left of the hallway entering the house is the spacious parlor, plainly but richly furnished, into which two arches opon the way from the hall. On the right of the hall it a sitting room in front, fur nished in oak and with a onerry revolving book case, while the dining-room is just to the rear of it, to which entrance is made tbrough fold ing doors from the sitting-room, or from the door to the hallway. In the room is a very lino cherry sideboard and stylish chairs. Conveniently hack of the dining room is the pantry, containing a handsome oak refrigera tor, closely connected with the storeroom for dishes, etc The kitchen, perhaps the best equipped on tho coast, is arranged for the preuaration of food for 0 people at a meaL It has hot and cold water, etc The enunclator is also In the room, from which the electric wires run to each room In the bouse. A dainty little number or word on the door of the room tells the servant from which room the call came. From the rear of the hallway, between the parlors and kitchen. Is the big polished oaken stairway leading to the second and third floors. On the second floor there are eight rooms and a splendid hallway. At the north side of the hall, fronting the ocean, is Mrs. Harrison's room. The room is richly carpeted and finely furnished in oak, papered with richly embossed gilt and has a door openinc into the bath room just to its rear. On the other side of the bath room is Mrs. McKee's room, carpeted with handsome dark red Brussels, and furnished with a fine suite of oak. At the rear of the floor are three more bed rooms furnished in oak. On the southside of the floor is two rooms Tory nicely furnished In cherry for the use of guests. On the third floor is a hath room and four bed rooms' for servants. From the upper stories back a fine view of Lilly lake, the light houses and Cape May Point is had, while from the north atria thprn l n. fnll iH.w of Cape May proper, the United States Life Saving Station and the magnificent Sboreham Hotel, just finished. On the third floor, front ing the ocean, is a handsome billiard room, 20 by 40 feet, from which a grand view Is obtained. UP OH THE M0UHTAIN TOP. Many Plttsburgem Booked for n Brenlhlng Spell at Populnr Bedford. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Bedford, June II The summer season opened Thursday last under the most favorable circumstances. Forsome weeks an army of men have been beautifying the walks and nu merous drives, for which the famous old resort is noted. The Springs Hotel will again be un der the management of L. B, Doty, who last year placed the hotel among the best of the country. The inquiry for rooms have so far exceeded all past seasons, and, with the in creased facilities that have been carefully looked after, Bedford will entertain, by several thousand, more visitors than shs bas ever done before. There are a number of inquiries for rooms from Pittsburgers and among those who expect to spend some weeks are tbo Baileys, the Painters, the DalielK the Beyers', the Parks, tbe Morebeads, the McKees, the Cham bers', the Browns and many others who for years nave Deen making Bedford tneir home during the hot summer months. The Aran dale. Chalybeate and the East End cottages have all made extensive improvements and otherwise beautified their grounds. Mr. R. B. Brown will bring his family bere during the present month and leave them for some six week", running here to spend Snnday. John W. Daizell and lamlly will arrive about the last of tbe month. "The Willows." the famous old resort, the place where so many Pittsburgers have enjoyed many a chicken and waffle supper, will be once more under the supervision of toe Mortimores. Mr. Thomas Farley, who presided over tbe office at tbe Springs Hotel, will again be in charge. From Sea nnd Shore. Olives Dotjd Bybox Is in his cottage at Monmouth Park. Avaxon, tba young Jersey resort, is becom ing quite popular. Ex-Goveruor PATTisoir has secured a cot tage at Spring Lake, N. J. The larger streams and lakes in the Catskills are well supplied with trout The warm wave brougbt many people to their cottages at Asbury Park. Hundreds of new cottages have been erected in the Catskills since last snmmer. All tbe summer resort hotels will be in full blast within the next two weeks. A splendid season is expected ail along the line. The Hotel Kaatersklll will open on June 28 nnder the management ot W. F. Paige, who bas bad charge of it for six seasons. Mayor Fitleb, of Philadelphia, has pur chased and will occupy this summer the beau tiful villa of tbe late Commodore C. K. Garri son at Elberon. Cottages are dirt cheap at Long Branch. Between Sthe Old Mansion House and tbe United States a correspondent saw five "to lets" in a row oi seven. The selection of Marion, Mass,, as a summer home by Mrs. Cleveland tua increased the popu larity of the place. Marion undoubtedly has a future as a summer resort. Mrs. Frederick W. Va2tserbi.lt has pre; sented to the Newport haccmen 100 copies of Sewell's "Black Beauty," a story showing the need oi ununess to norses. Moonlight boating excursions are popular on tbe Shrewsbury at Red Bank, N. J. The boats are gaily decorated with Chinese lan terns, and most of them carry musicians. Seagirt, Spring Lake and Belmar are now in full Bummer dress, and old and new visitors are dropping in daily, some to their cottages and some to secure a home for the season. The regular cottagers both at Monmouth Beach and Seabright and at the West End and Elberon are rapidly taking possession of their summer homes. The cottage season bas al ready begun. The Saratoga season Is starting off with an early boom. Saratoga's lusty and beautiful trees protect It from tbe hottest sun, and its al titude insures a refreshing breeze on most days of the summer. The most remarkable things on the Atlantic coast are the tin types displayed in tbe beach photograph galleries, showing the singular de sire ot the women to obtain portraits in their surf costumes. Mss. General Custer, who Is at her cabin on the Pocono creek, Delaware Water Gap, is preparing to spend July and August in the West, accepting invitations and enjoying life among her old frontier friends. These are more pretty girls in a minute at Cape May than at Long Branch, Coney Island or Rockaway In a season. They are what you might call "country pretty." But like all Southern girls they are spoiled. A bide by stage from Kaatersklll down tbe ravines to Palenville and thence to Catsklll Village by tbe Catsklll Railroad should not be missed by people who desire to enjoy tbe.de- llghts oi mountain ana vauey scenery. It is the custom at Cape May for the ladles to dress for breakfast, to parade on the porticos in pretty morning attire and then to disappear in their rooms, presently to flock to tho beach In wrappers. It is a thing you have got to get used to. THE legalizing of gambling at and around racetracks by the recent Jersey Legislature rejoices tbe hearts of the big Long Branch gamblers. Between tbe clubhouse and the Monmouth Park races they expect. to make a fortune. James; A. Bradlet, the founder of As bury Park, has offered to give a lot 100 feet square If Dr. Hugh Kinmouth would give a like plot for the erection ot a public sohool in Ocean Park. The doctor bas not yet re sponded. One of the newest schemes to be talked up this season Is the erection of aroadhonse at Point Judith, a sort of banqueting hall of light and graceful architecture, to be used as a Mec ca for coaching parties driving from Narragan sett pier. AT Cape May the bathing houses are many times the finest on the coast They are better than the hotels. They are well built, well kept, tidy and picturesque little cities of closets intersected by scores of street-like pas sage ways. Newport is filling up with summer people with astonishing rapidity. Arrivals of cottage people for tbe summer are increasing almost daily, and there are more cottagers here to-day than ever before at the close of the second week in June. The season has opened at Alexandria Bay, the favorite resort on tiro St Lawrence, with many fine catches of bass. It is probable that no other bass grounds in the State are mora in favor with tbe vast army of anglers than those of the St Lawrence and Lake Ontario. Then there are merry-go-rounds by the dozen, shooting galleries, toboggan slides, coasters, mnseum wonders and attractive Jap anese, Chinese and other booths In bewildering succession, from tbe breezy Inlet down to the new Excursion House, in Atlantio City. One still hears a great deal of talk about tbe establishment ot a race track that will be worthy of Atlantio City. As the matter is still more or less nebulous, however, and as other projects have fallen through in past years, one is not disposed to take too mnch for granted. The steamboatmen, railroad employas,postal clerks, telegraphers and expressmen are be ginning to see signs of the coming invasion by city people of the Catsklll Mountains. Board ing house and hotel proprietors in the range are in good spirits, and all say the outlook for a successful season was never better. There is more drinking by women at-Cape May than at any other coast resort The prin cipal hotel has a large drinking room purposely kept for men and. women. Hotel clerks who go there from any other place are Hway as tonished at tho orders for alcoholic beverages that the ladies send down from their rooms. The sea has thrown an unusually fine crop of moonstones upon the beacb at Narragansett the past spring for true lovers to gather in their walks this summer. One enterprising jew eler has already spread out bis sign for tbe sea son: "Moonstones mounted here." Some very fine specimens of the translucent stones have already been found. The old Long Branch is a memory only. There is no beach there now. Only a few rem nants remain, and gossip about the costumes of tbe bathers will have to be procured further down the Jersey coast this summer. There Isn't a bath houso from tbe iron pier to the West rSnd. The handsome boulevard on the bluff Is also a memory. One of the peculiar customs of Cape May's female bathers is connected with the hair dry ing process. Each lady puts a towel over her shoulders and then spreads her hair out over it as thin as possible to dry. One of the most re- marivaoie outgrowins oi tuia uuawu - i.ua habit that the girls havo ot allowing their beaux to rub their hair with towels. It is only at Caps May that yon see women riding baroheaded and in morning gowns in stylish equipages. Tbe drive down to the Ele phant, or. farther still, to the "Point," is very alluring, and carriage riding is a great pastime. But you will see ladles in carriages attired as you would scarcely expect to see them, except at a chance meeting in a botel hallway. The aristocratic, and vet democratic, old Narragansett Pier is doubtless tbe most popu lar of all the Eastern shore resorts. The easy and delightful summer sociability on Its bait worn beach finds new converts by the hundred every year. The beacb, the beautiful women and tbe jolly Casino are attractions too power ful to be resisted. The season's guests are already arriving. Some or the peculiarities of Cape May are that it Is tbe fashion there for tbe girls to blister themselves into a deep mahogany tan. Ono month after the season opens they can't wear evening dress. You can Imagine for yourself what the effect would be ot a mahogany throat above a natural neck. What on earth they are going to do tbis summer, wben all tbe ladies are going to wear coilarless gowns or low-cut shirt waists, it Is difficult to see. Refobts from the Lake Ontario resorts are to the effect that fine bass fishing is being en joyed. At Henderson Harbor as many as 60 bass have been brougbt in by single boats, and the fish are said to be unusually numerous on tbe shoals. Pickerel and perch aro abundant everywhere, and already two or three fine muskallonge have been taken. One day tbis week a fisherman bad the novel experience of capturing a 66-pound sturgeon near Alexandria Bay with book and line. Clara Louise Kelloqo) Is coming to pay her first visit to Atlantio City. Lily Langtry was the last great stage light that visited the island. Tbe gentleman who then took ber sail ing and showed ber tbe sights of the place is now an unfortunate Inmate of the State Insane Asylum at Trenton. He was a well-known newspaper man, but he was even more smitten than Freddy Gebhard, and it is said that bis meeting with tbe Jersey Lily was partly respon sible for his dangerous-illness. AN establishment at the foot ot South Caro lina avenue, Atlantio City, leads all other sea side resorts in tbe variety of its money-making schemes. There are two carroussels within its ample confines, an Edison phonograph, weigh ing,' lung-testing, electric, tutti-frutti, light literature and photographing slot machines, a salt water taffy stand, a mammoth soda water fountain, cut glass, fruit and news stands and a thriving peanut stand, tne pretentious roaster of which is driven by a miniature electric bat tery.

Once more tbe great and only Gilmore is to visit Pittsburg with bis famous band. Tbe con certs will be given on tbe afternoon and even ing of Thursday, June 26. In addition to the band, which is probably the finest In tbe world, several vocal artists of distinction will assist Madam Rosa Linde (Mrs. Schaarsmidt) will make her first appearance slnr.o her retnrn from Paris, and the other singers will be Miss Ida Klein, soprano; Miss Hellne Von DoenbofC, contralto; William J. Lavin, tenor, and Edward O'Mahony, bass. Mr. Gilmors will nf course conduct, and tbe concerts will be of great in terest beyond a doubt The sale of seats begins next Thursday morning at Hamilton's music store at 9 o'clock. It Is a pleasure to commend an entertain ment without an objectionable feature. We refer to Bartholomew's Equine Paradox that delighted over 10,000 persons at tbe Grand Opera House last week, and will give six more evening and tour afternoon performances this week, positively their last appearance in Pitts burg. Prof. Bartholomew Is the only exhibitor of horses that ever received tbe indorsement of the late Henry Bergh and humane societies. Monday evening, June 16, 1884, in tbe Boston Theater in the presence of an audience of over 8,000 members, the Massachusetts Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals presented Prof. Bartholomew with a beautiful gold medal adorned with diamonds and suitably inscribed, and he was also elected an honorary member. It Is as novel as it is interesting, nothing to of fend the most refined taste; partakes of noth ing old, is interesting, instructive and amusing. The horses all appear at one time on the stage entirely untrammeled by harness. Tbe attraction at Harris' Tbeater this week apparently is one of no little merit Mr. Horace Lewis comes bere supported by a first-class dramatic oompany, appearing in Dumas' cele brated drama, "Monte Cristo." Mr. Lewis is entirely familiar with the title role, having f;lven it a very great many times. He renders t, it is said, with a dash and spirit that capti vates an audience and quickly wins their syin Eatby. Mr. Lewis is a favorite in Pittsburg, avlng renewea bis acquaintance recently when he created such a favorable Impression, bv his artistio acting of the role of the Corsican father in "Mr. Barnes of New York." The drama will be staged in good style and tho per formance promises to give entire satisfaction. Tbe company supporting Mr. Lewis has tbe appearance of strength, and undoubtedly con tains some ciever people, juyron ieiiingwell the leading man, will bo remembered for his work In "The Great Metropolis;" Nelly Donald Lefllngwell was with Redmond and Barry; Charles Lamb has done good work with Barry and Fay, and E. W. Morrisson, Howard Hall, Lois Arnold, Ettle Rossland and others in the company are favorably known. Some years ago Eugene Robinson conceived the idea of running a circus on a boat, and will visit this city for the first time next week. It will be located on tbe Allegheny at tbe foot of Market street. The outfit consists of three elegant and mammoth floating palaces, mu seum, exposition ot wonders and opera bouse. It Is somethlog entirely new, and besides a clean circus entertainment there are an innu merable number of animals, curiosities and illu sions shown. Tbe opera bouse is beautifully illuminated by incandescent electric lights, and a splendid entertainment is given. Al together it is an amusement that both old and young can attend with profit! betide no ticket Is sold or admission given to a person under the influence ot liquor, while tobacco is not tol erated. Two exhibitions will be given dally after noon and evening. In tbe afternoon a grand free exhibition is given, when Charles P. Blatt will catch a solid iron ball fired from a cannon A parade will also be made. Prof. George Bartholomew and Manager E D.

The Allegheny county Executive Committee of the Grand Army will hold a meeting next Saturday evening at City Hall for tbe purpose of transacting business of the utmost import ance, and tbe attendance of all the members is earnestly requested by Chairman A, P. Burch fleld. Tbe committee is made up thus: A. P. BurchHeld, J. F. Dennlston, Edward Fisher, H. H. Bengongb, A. C. Frank, John F. Hunter. Thomas G. Sample, W, H. Lambert W. J. Patterson, J. L, Rolsbonse, Charles F. Sherriff and Thomas G. Jones. All tbe business of tho past y ear referred to the committee by tbe general committee will be disposed of. Probably the most important matter to come before tbe body is that of the manner of celebrating Grand Army Day. It will be remembered that there was a great deal of talk on this question last year, many desir ing to dispense with the observing of the day in the nsnal manner on account of the lack of Interest shown by the city business men who were largely benefited, but many of whom re fused, to give anything toward the defraying of expenses, others very little. It has been sug gested, as stated in the Grand Army column some time ago, that the usual parade be dis pensed with and that instead a dress parade take place at some park or grounds. This would be vastly more satisfactory to the vet erans and the spectators; it would also be less expensive. The usual campflre would be lighted in tbe evening. It has also been sug gested that the celebration be taken entirely away from Pittsburg to some smaller town where the proper appreciation would be sure to be shown. But it is likely that quite a number will be found who will not favor any change In tbe form of celebration, who will positively ob ject to sueh change. The outcome will be looked for with much Interest. Many to Go From nere to Boston. Pittsburg will in all probability be well rep resented at the Boston Encampment Doubt less all who can go will take advantage of the opportunity. Tbe trip will be one tbe most en joyable ever taken. Tbe fare is quite low. .More of Post lSTs members are talking of go ing this year than ever before, and this post will be there in strong numbers. Twenty-five at least will go, and probably there will bo many more. Post 41 will also bo largely represented, will probably go In a body. Efforts are now being made in this direction. A committee may be appointed to make the arrangements, and all go who can. The firing squad, consisting of 24 men, under tbe command ot Captain A. J. Reid, will go. Some time ago the squad offered Its services to the Department Commander as an escort on that occasion, bnt bas not beard from the bead of tbe department yet Post 41 went in a body, nearly every member being in line, to last years encampment at Columbus, O., and made an en viable showing. Post 162 is making arrange ments to send a large delegation. Tbe post will likely go as a body, taking as many as can go. Post 233 will send a large delegation and the post's flag will be seen by the Bostonlans. For Wearing the Legion Shield. Dr. A. M. Barr, of the East End. who has been arrested for wearing the shield of the Union Veteran Legion, was at one time a mem ber of Post 8, hat about five or six years ago he was court martialed and dismissed from tbe post His offense was in failing to account for some tlcketstto the "Drummer Boy," or the money for tbe same. The case is of unusual interest, as it is the first prosecution in this vicinity under tbe act passed in March, last year, making it a misdemeanor for any person not entitled to, to wear tbe badge of the Grand Army, Union Veteran Legion or Loyal Legion. Comrade Joseph S. Watt, ot Encampment No. 1, is the prosecutor. Tbe case will come up be fore Magistrate Hyndman, of the East End, between 7 and 8 o'clock Tuesday evening. The extreme penalty Is a fine of 3100. Disappointment Over Qlra. Logan. The veterans of tbe vicinity were very much disappointed on account of the unavoidable absence of Mrs. General Logan at the Exposi tion last evening and the consequent preven tion of the reception. Thousands would have been delighted to-grasp tbe hand of tbe widow of tbe great Logan. The Art Gallery was to have been used in which to hold the reception. Major Dennlston had made arrangements to have it beautifully decorated in red, white and blue silk. A tent was to have been placed on the platform decorated with flags. Camp stools and ntensils were to have been arranged around this. A large picture of General Logan was to have been placed in the background. The Guard of Honor would have been a fine one consisting of 20 men in all. To Go to Fredericksburg. Comrade S. M. Dnvall, of Post 151, Is organ izing a club to visit the battle fields in and atound Fredericksburg in the early summer. Wagons will be employed from Fredericksburg to Salem Church, Chancellorsville, etc.. and perhaps as far as Cold Harbor aud Seven Pines. The number in the party will be limited to 25.

Lemon May Bvmala a Cripple. Comrade Thomas Lemon, of Post 157, who was brutally assaulted, as stated in last Sun day's Grand Army column, is mending slowly at bis home, 1324 Virginia avenue, Mt Wash ington. The Injury to one ot his legs is so severe that it Is feared he will be crippled for life. It appears that it was not a fellow driver who assaulted him, but a negro who was with one of tbe drivers. An effort has been made to discover tbe man with a view of prosecuting him, but bas so far proven fruitless. Random Shots. Post 8 will have a muster to-morrow even ing. Post 151 -will not attend the National En campment as a body this year. Comrade J, B. Chapxax is the newly elected officer ot the guard of Post 157.

Tbe loser can recover it by applying to Comrade Joseph B. Eaton, of Post 8, at the City Treasurer's office. CAPTAIN CALHOUN, ot Post 15Ts firing squad, is disappointed greatly in Mrs. Logan's not coming, m be expiated the gaard of honor j to distinguish itself and had prepared matters accordingly. Post 3 purchased $50 worth of tickets for the West Penn Hospital benefit and soldtbem at half-price to tbe members, and consequently a number of tbe comrades beard tbe great Marine Band last night Adjutant Blackbubn, ot Post 41, navi gates with difficulty just at present on account of a wound received during the war in one of bis legs.

Ihe last meeting of the Board of Control o the Eighteenth Regiment, one week ago, was quite interesting. The new constitution and rules for tbe government ot the board were brought up for action, and were adopted by section after several warm and lengthy debates. Tbe rule excluding all outsiders not actual members of the board from being present at the meetings was the point contested most strongly, as tbe non-commissioned staff, whose presence heretofore bas never been questioned, would come under tbe proposed prohibition. Tbe point was carried, however, and as a result Sergeant Major James Bigger has asked for bis discharge and Adjntant Charles Ruse ten dered his resignation to Colonel Smith. Mr. Ruse has been connected wilh tbe National Guard for the past 11 years and with the Eighteenth Regiment since 1S83. He has filled bis position as Adjutant in a most acceptable manner, and should his resignation be accept ed. Colonel Smith will lose one of bis most efficient officers. The trouble in Company G, Fourteenth Regiment, over tbe election ot a captain, bas not been settled yet June 3 was tbe date set for tbe original election, at which time ex Quartermaster Patterson received 20 votes and Lieutenant McLain 19 votes. After two post ponements ot three days each, Captiln Emory Thompson, formerly of Company I, was selected for the position. In tbo mean time 31 members of the company, who were alleged to be Patter, son supporters, bad been discharged, and tbelr places filled with new men. Mr. Patterson has decided to make a figbt over tbe manner ot tbe election, and It is probable some interesting developments may follow. Tbe postponements of the election should have been for at least ten days each time, in order to comply with the provisions of the military code. The fight lor the position may, in the end. result in the disbandment of the company, as it was rumored tbat Major Patterson, the Brigade Inspector, bad already filed such a recommendation in tbe Adjutant General's office.
