The Barracks Filling Up Rapidly and Hawkers Are Happy. HOW THE VETERANS ARE LODGED. Arlington the Mecca for Most of the Eojb in Bine Just Jfow. AN ABOLITION OF THE 8DNDAT LAWS Whom a ETArr correspootjkvt.i Washington, Sept 18. This lias been a great day for the vets. The weather is per fect, and while the temperature is so grate ful and the atmosphere so free from all miasmatic vapors there will be little fear of serious sickness, even if the situation should provoke bilious and malarial attacks. The fen- days that have passed since the great rains hare dried the grounds of the tents and barracks so that a good blanket and the bare earth make a safe couch for an old fel low who is used to roughing it. It was inspiring, and not a little pathetic, to see the boys in blue start almost as soon as the sun was up to seek out the old battle scenes, or rather the scenes of war camps and forts and earthworks. Thousands of the visitors had been stationed during the war at one or more of the many forts with which Washington was surrounded and in their stay there had become thoroughly ac quainted with the city,. They expected to be able to start fair and go straight to the old camping grounds, but only those who have frequently visited the Capitol since the war and who have kept pace with the growth of the city and with the notion of time and the real estate speculator on the earthworks, which are fast disappearing, were successful in finding the way to even the most prominent find best preserved of the forts that were famous in theit day. Arlington the Mecca of the Visitors. Out to the suburbs on the cable and elec tric cars, and then over the fields, hither and yonder, the old soldiers scattered them selves until the whole country seemed fall of them. Arlington, however, was the Mecca of most of the sightseers, and all day, from dawn till dark, the pretty road to that im posing field of the dead was lined with pe destrians. Arlington, the old forts and camps, and the long bridge which was so important a pas: during the war, were ap parently the places of all others uppermost in the minds of the veterans, and it is safe to say that i'evr of those who had arrived in the citv before this morning failed to visit one or more of these historic spots. The thousands who arrived during the 3ay busied themselves getting fixed in their quarters, and most of them were clearly pretty well done up with their journey on the cars, and were rather disposed to catch a little sleep than to engage in exploring tours. It was a unique sight to see the proceed ings at the barracks and the tents in the various camping grounds. At the tents of the post commanders there were crowds registering their names, greeting old com rades, sitting about in the shade smoking and spinning.wir yarns. .. TTSTJaJracks rilling Up Itapldly. Pew of the tents were occupied, but the barracks were filling up rapidly, and in hundreds of the bunks tired veterans were sleeping or resting after having taken a wash and a bit oi cold breakfast, which lat ter most ot them had brought with them. A big lavatory is provided with water pipes and faucets and washbowls and towels and soap, and here were long lines of dusty men scrubbing the grime from their faces and necks. There is no drain to carry 'away the waste, and so it is thrown on the ground to disappear by absorption or evaporation, which is another evidence of the "perfect sanitary arrangements" that are the boast ot the committees concerned and of the ex traordinary Health department of the Dis trict. if ear the washroom a dozen barbers were bniy Istherine, scraping and haircutting and talking an immense amount of wise politics to the old soldiers. Old house wives, not a lew of them, were performing their ablutions at the washrooms as well as the men, and it was evident they were determined to join their husbands in rough ing it, and not leave all the fun to the old men. Adjoining the barracks the immense coffee house, capable ot feeding 3,500 per sons at once, was doing a thriving business, though its golden harvest will come a little later, when the luncheons brought from home are exhausted. Ihe "Warning Against Pickpockets, On posts and sheds everywhere are tacked signs suggesting to the old soldiers to be ware ot pickpockets, and they who have luggage are .commanded to deposit it at the baggage room ami receive a check for it, as no one will be responsible lor losses other wise. Advertisements of picnics and ex cur&ionk are scattered everywhere, and one of the dodgers most liequcntly seen is a notice of grand sprinting and running races at the bas.cb.ill park, to be engaged in by the veterans, the winner to get a prize and the honor ol the G. A. E. championship. Small merchants with brilliant stocks ot badges and souvenirs called their wares at every turn. Some were prepared with blank badges o! all colors and with num bers aud insignia for every corps, division, brigade, regiment and company, and with a little ingenuity and mucilage would man ufacture a badge tor anybody in a moment oa the spot. Of course there was a fair sprinklinc of the veterans who like a sup of something good, and who are sure to get hilarious when fighting their battles over again at these annual campfires; and lor these the haloons were most of them wide open, the liquor sellers having been tipped a wink by the authorities that they could forget the Sunday law as they do on the occasion of Presidental inaugurations. AH the Kar Well Patronized. It was apparent that the bars were well patronized, and many a good old warrior with hi boc companion of 30 years ago warmed up to the spirit of the noliday, wbicli means more to him than all the other holidays ot the year combined. A startling report went out a few days ago that the Committee on Arrangements had induced the Commissioners to permit the sale of liquor under a temporary liccnie on the grounds di' the barracks, and a great Bensation was created by the rumor. Tem perance organizations protested, and the President interested himself to the extent of writing a. letter on the subject. Mightier than all, the liquor sellers who have regu lar licenses, rose as oue man in protest. They didn't want that sort of oppo sition. They had naid for their privilege in the city, aud hai subscribed to the fund for expenses, aud did not want a cent of their legitimate boodle to get into the hands of any temporary rival. If one were permitted to set up shop :n the midst of the barracks, all should have the privi lege. The protest of the liquor men car ried the day. aud so the money for beer and its more fiery relatives will be spent at the regular bars. The Corcoran Gallery Open Tree. , One oi the most graceful acts of any of the corporation or mdividiuls of the dis trict is that of the trustees of the Corcoran tallerr of art, which will close its doors on "WedneMlay, the dav ol the grand parade, but otherwise will be free-to all, though the custom is to charge 25 cents admission -on Mondavs. Yednesdavs aud Fridays. The Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The (stately building is welt necoraiea, Desine. This Is worthy of remark for the reason that the atmosphere which hat always sur rounded all that bore the name of Corcoran was anything but congenial to the soldiers of the army of the Uuion. The trus'tees are yet dominated by the will of Mr. Corcoran! ,-uid it is to be sup posed it is their impression that if the late millionaire were now living he would have forgotten all the antagonism he ever felt toward the Union soldier aud would him self have authoiized the decoration of his buildings and the free entrance to his art gallery in honor oi tne visit oi union vet erans 30 years after the war. Iteady to Feed the Multitude. The main dining hall or mess room of the encampment is 320xS0 feet, built with an "L" extension 2G0x80 feet Under this immense roof there are fifty long rows of plain pine tables, with benches for seats capable of seating 3,400 persons. To look alter the wants and answer the calls of tne diners, one head waiter, with three assist ants and 200 waiters are required. Each table will have a division captain who will look alter the gastronomic wants of those under his command. To cook all the food required for the guests a kitchen with 108 feet of range ex panse has been built. Fifteen cooks and a corps of assistants preside over this station of supplies and three 110-eallonsoup kettles are necessary to lurnish sonp lor all. Three 110-gallon coffee caldrons will supply that beverage. Plenty of 'good beef, mutton, ham, corn beef "and all vegetables will be served at the meals, and in a large house nearby is stocked all the ice that may be re quired. Kail road tracks are near the grounds so that every day fresh supplies ot meats will be brought in for consumption.

Washington, Sept 18. panaZ. J. S. Hull Post He 157 arrived this evening and marched to its quarters at the Lenox school building. No post will have more agreeable quarters, as the building stands on Capitol Hill, in one of the highest and healthiest parts of the city. The Pennsylvania posts are slow coming in, partly owing to the blockade in some places which causes delay. Perhaps the post which attracted most attention during the day with the exception of the famous Massachusetts Sixth which came in this afternoon, and was given a great ovation, was Baker Post, of Philadelphia, composed almost wholly of fine-looking old men cariying nearly a dozen battle flags, tattered and stained beyond recognition. The first deatli among the veterans, moreover, was the color bearer, Corporal Krueger, of this post, who fell fainting at the corner oi Thirteenth aud F streets and expired in a few moments in the office ot Dr. Hamilton Leach, near where he fell. Of coure the story went out at once that the man died of cholera, but the truth is he merely dropped suddenly in a faint ing fit, struck his head against the pave ment, and died of concussion of the brain. A great number of Pennsylvanians are to be quartered at Camp Farragut, in Gar field Park, south of the Capitol, but a visit there this evening found but a few small posts from the Central part of the State, the great body of Pennsylvanians not now being expected till to-morrow. The railroad officials report that up to this evening 105,000 visitors have teen brought into the city. Upward of 100 special trains have en tered the city besides the regulars within the last three days. All azents West have been instructed to stop selling ticketsVor Washington, as every car will be needed for the next two days to accommo date those already having tickets. Never in the history of the railroads has there been such a rush for tickets to Washington, and the rolling stock of the roads, all tend ing to this center, glut the sidings in this region, while the yards everywhere else are emptied. From various points come news of a blockade or long delay, and the veterans fear that some of the great trains on the way will not deliver their passengers here in season for the grand parade of Tuesday. TOBACCO A TEST In the Appointment of Preachers by the East Oldo Conference. Steubentille, O., Sept 18. Special. At the Fast Ohio Conference last night Bishop Newman, in addressing the new local preachers, asked of all if they used tobacco. They answered in the negative. Br. Burt made a motion to the effect that only those candidates having high grades be selected in luture, as there are now more ministers than places in the Conference. W. C Evans, one of the first-class, of this city, and pastor of the church at Brilliant, was cheered when Presiding Elder Stewart told how he had given up a 1,200 job in a pottery for a ?300 job at preach ing. Dr. William Samplo was reappointed as Superintendent of the Children's Indus trial Home at Chicago. A big fight is expected to-morrow over the adoption of the educational and temperance reports. Mt. Union College has been re ceiving churcn collections and Scio College expects a slice. Scio is backed up by a ma jority ot the Conference. The temperance committee is expected to bring in a report favoring prohibition, in which case a bitter fight will be made against its adoption. A. J. Hyatt, whose capers at Burton and Richmond, this county, caused his retire ment, has been reinstated on the report of Dr. Mueller, to whom the case was referred to in the last conference. A IIlTJaVILLE MYSIEEY 80LVD, Tho Corpse of John Ilancox, Who Disap peared, Pound Hanging In a Barn. Titusville, Sept 18. Special The body of John Haucox was found this morn ing by XewtHancox, a brother, hanging to a beam in the second story of the latter's barn, about one-eighth of a mile from the late residence of the deceased. The body was badly swollen and half decomposed, showing that the suicide had been commit ted some time ago, probably on the day of disappearance, September 8. The body was on its knees, the straw having been kicked away irom underneath the feet After ad justing the rore the man had fallen for ward, thus bringing the strain to bear upon his neck. The hrother's attention was attracted to the barn loft by a sickening odor. The lower parts of the building had been re peatedly searched, but no one had thought to lookupstairs. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of deliberate suicide while de ceased was laboring under a temporery fit of insanity. There 'was no evidence ot foul Play. Jeannette's New Catholic Chnrch.

F A sT , UUll h II 11 II Hl-Ei -EiilOl. Our Sluggers Pass on to Tackle the League Leaders at Cleveland. BUCKENBERGEtf IS CHEERFUL. The Coney Island Athletic Club Offers a Purse for Smith and IlalL GENERAL BP0KTIKG NEWS OP THE DAI The local ball team will tackle the League leaders at Cleveland to-day. They finished up their contests with the Eastern clubs on Saturday, and now have only their "Western opponents to deal with this year. Yester-' day Manager Buckenberger talked quite cheerfully about the work of his team, hut he had not much good to say about the at tendance down East He said: "Our team have played great ball in" al most every game we have played since we left home. I am not disposed to excuse ourselves by hard luck stories, but really it was something extraordinary that we did not win both games at Baltimore. If there ever was such a thing as hard luck we had it at Baltimore. All the boys have been doing well, and Donovan has simply been doing phenomenal work. He is a great player-at present and no mistake.. I hope to win two games at Cleveland. We have a hard fight to face, but we have a great team just now, and, if they play in lorm, there is no fear of us. Ko changes are con templated just now. "The patronage of the game in the East has been bad this trip and we have fared just as well as anybody else. I am not in a position to say what I think the causes of this lack of interest are, but there is small interest, indeed, in the game where we have been." Kegardinc this very serious qnestion re lating to the falling off in the attendance an Eastern writer says: "That the attendance at the Polo Grounds has fallen off to 500 persons to a game seems very strange. If such small crowds were recorded in St. Louis, Louisville or Washington there would not be much astonishment, but to have such a ereat falling off in the largest city in the Union indicates that the New York manaeers are largely at fault. "Visiting teams speak encouragingly of the increasing patronage in other places all season, as the respective teams made spurts, but here the enthusiasm over the national game seems to he at a low ebb. At times the attendance seemed to increase, but the poor work of the players killed the en thusiasm of the patrons and they have ap parently grown tired of the indifference of those who control the pastime here. The players have been either unable to or are indifferent about getting a place in the race, and the people of this town are no more anxious to support a losing team than those of other cities." The Western clubs have come out best in the series between East and West. The Clevelands have done much toward accom plishing this result There are nine games scheduled to he played on the. home grounds before the season closes and the first of these nine will be on Thursday, when the Chicagos will be here.

Birmingham looks like a winner In the Southern League's second season. Joe Qoink Is fielding out of sight and batting like a man with a glass eye. A little streak of hard luck has overtaken our Sluggers, but they'll get over it. "The Mississippi Misfits" is the latest endearing name affixed to ''Der Browns."

There seems to be decided opposi tion to It OCR sluggers will tackle the aspiring pennant winners at Cleveland to-day and Ehret orfamlth will likely pitch. It Is not fair to commence and abuse Terry be cause lie has lost about three games out of tbe last dozen he bas pitched. Buck EwiNO has a batting percentage of oyer .400. If he had been In the game all season tbe showing of his club would have been considerably better than It Is. GILBERT, who pitched for Baltimore against CIe eland.

The Eastern League will be a thing or the past after Friday next The backers see that It would be Tolly to keep on until October 1. The Provi dences and Blngbamtons will play off lor the final championship. Manager Selee Is thinking of taking the Boston and Cleveland teams to 'Frisco this winter. He has requested General Dlxwell to become the backer or the enterprise, but the General says: "HI. hll Ho, hoi" ' IP your sad-eyed uncle. Adrian Constantlne An son, knows a good thing when he sees It he'll say farewell to Chicago this j-ear and go somewhere else. The cranks up there imagine he is In Sulli van's class and has "played one season too often." Ned Hanlon says the finest lnlleld ever got to gether was the old Chicago Infield Anson, Pleflcr. Williamson and Burns. And Ned is right These were lour of tbe greatest players that ever suc ceeded on the baU field when each was at his best Colonel Pat Powers has created lots of amueuient In Lastern League circles by planting Jim Knowles at third. The IlochcstermiW says: "Patricio should gather aronnd him Charley Kelp schlager, Joe Gerhardt Pat Frlel, Willie Daley, and possibly Colonel Abo blupsky. and then play something for tbe championship or Hunter's Point" To-Day's Gravescnd Card.

A Purse to Be Offered for the Plttsbnrger and the Australian. There Is a possibility of a glove contest to a finish botween Ed. Smith and Jim Hall. Tho President ot the Coney Island Athletic Club has notified the Pittsburg backers of Smith that the club will offer a good purse for Smith and Hall, bnt that no aide bet will be allowed. Some time ago the Coney Island Club offi cials were asked to give Smith a chance. They replied that, after considering the mat ter, they w ould oflbr n purse for Smith and either Jim Hall, Ptor Miner or Joo Choyn sk I. Smith replied that ho pi efrned Hall to either of the other two, and If liall declined he would meet Maher, and If he also de clined ho would meet ChoynskL Smith believes tho last named to be a rrally good mnn, and he has not as much confidence of defeating him a he ha1 of de feating Hall or Maher. Still Smith is willing to meet hlii. It now rest with Hall to say whether or not he will meet Smith. Prob ably he will have too many engagements elsewhere. Miscellaneous Sporting Notes.
