The trip fiom llniilshliiir tip this
place was delightful ami Interesting,
which In a way has been ticteiilimtt-il
by the general Rood behavior of the
men, the plen-anl oudlllons existing
on the vhih, and the clear, brlubt
weather. In the ieiietunl change of
Hceiies and the inospeets of happy days
to come, all I'm set whatever regret"
they felt at leaving 'nnip Meade and
Pennsylvania, soil. At llanlsbtirg the
boys left mementos In the t'oiin of but
tons and of haul tack, on which their
names were Inner'bed.
The moinlng camp was bioken,
breakfast was seived In the regiment
at 3.K0 o'clock. The light reast was
followed by four or live hours of hard
"oik. h quick inuu-Ii to the depot and
a four-hour tun on the train from llar
Msbttrir to llaltlmore. The ualutal re
uultf followed the men faltly liowleu
irom hunger, and for some time previ
ous they kept yelling at every station.
"When do we eat?" anil sang "Nobody
Knnw's How Hungry We Are." At
IJ.iltlmoie hot coffee was distributed
one pint to each man. This, together
with a canned beef sandwich, made up
Hie sum total of the dinner. Some,
more foitunate than the others sue-
"eded In getting pie, cake or fruit
at the station.
GOING 1NT MARYLAND.
AVhen passing the Seltsslaud station
tin liveliest intetest wa excited, and
nil were on the anxious lookout for the
signal hontds which tuiitk the Pennsjl-vanla-Marylanil
state bouudailes, and
as the train passed over the line at 2.10
p. ni. the boys waved a last farewell to
home, at the same time giving three
ringing cheers for Maryland. In the
exenlng at .' o'clock the dome of the
'c.'ipltol and the Washington monument
were sighted: the historic Potomac was
Mossed .it .'.no. and at fl o'clock the
tialn milled Into Washlngtor. In the
course of a few minutes Alexandria
was reached, and the boys remembered
that not far distant lie the grounds to
be known fotcver hereafter as Camp
A I tier.
For at least six bouts after leaving
the national capital, the trains passed
over a stretch of territory which was
baptized and tonseeiatcd and re-con-serrated
by the struggles and sacri

The Value
Of Little Things
We :irc afraid, has been lost sieht

We have wiitten largely of our
extreme featuies in wearing apparel

necessary in all the positions of life
are handkerchiefs Our buyet has

blood of the nation liberally spilled In
Its defense and perpetuation. It Is
sacred soli and must forever remain
such, not only to the brave survivors
of that mighty struggle, hut to every
student of American history. For sev
eral miles we ran parallel to the
tomac, going through Woodbrldgo and
Qunntlco, then bent slightly to the
west, crossing tho Happahannock and
skirting KrederlckshurR. Further on
we passed through Mllford, Ilothwcll,
Hanover, and made a short detour
around the city of Hlchmond, the capi
tal of the Confedetate stales, whose
lights were iulte distinct.
CROSSED THE JAMB'S.
At half-past twelve we had crossed
tho James river, so Insepatably con
nected not alone with the operations of
tho Federal and the Confederate armies
In 1SH1-5, but also with the llrst strug
gles of civilized man In the original
thit teen colonies. The boys were all
asleep as they wote swept through
Drevr's Ontralla, Chester, Walthall
and Petersburg, which place has so
many stirring memories for the der
mis of the lat war. This point we
reached at half-past three In the morn
ing, passed from Virginia Into Notth
Carolina at t, o'clock, and teaehed the
city of Weld on at ti.13, and the city of
HalPlgh. the state capital, at S, by
which time everybody was awake anil
on the alert. Hetween Washington and
ltalelgh the average speed of eaeh sec
tion was '.'I I'-lii miles an boar, which
wns good time, considering the eltcuni
stances, and the heavy, twelve-car
tialns which bad to be hauled.
Fiom Wcldon to I'.alelgh the 'oinitiy
is as beautiful us it Is uncultivated. In
evei direction as far as tho eye can
reach not a mountain or even a hill,
was visible Small, inipoveilshed look
ing farm houses dotted the landscape
here and there, and the only signs of
Industry weie snowy llelds of cotton,
which gtows In abundance, pastuie.
gardens of cabbage and large tracts of
corn. Occasionally the scene Is vailed
by clumps of pine or of oak trees. The
dlffeience between this country and the
nelghboihood of Camp Meade becomes
plain at a glance.
The meals for the boys have so far
been few nnd far between. Supper
wns sei ved. or rn titer distributed, last
evening ut S o'clock, and consisted of
canned salmon, beans and hard iitend.
We had breakfast at ltalelgh at S
o'clock. It consisted of a canned beef
sandwich. The second Installment of
half n pint of toffee was received at
Sanford station shoitlv before 10
o'clock. The bovs ae not being over
fed, but nevertheless are In flue health.
They are doing splendidly. Last night
thev made the .best of their surround
ings, huddled themselves together
wrapped In their blunkets and slept un
disturbed until the warm Southern sun
woke them.
GOOD BKHAVIUll OF MEN.
In a former message notice was tak
en of the very good behavior of the
men. They are still keeping It up. nnd
In consefiuente everything tuns
smoothly. The officers hnvo no com
plaint, and not the least trouble Is giv
en. Good will prevails throughout, and
all oiders are obeyed without a mur
mur.
It Is a strange feeling which mines
over a person when he rellects that he
Is In a land wbeie the color line Is
tightly ill awn. where one race lives su
preme and the other is simply toleial
ed. Tills Is the case heie, and it Is
just now dawning upon the minds of
the members of the Thirteenth what a
difference exists heie between the black
man and his white neighbor. Nearly
every railroad stutlon has prominently
displayed the significant signs. "Wait
ing Ilooin for White People," "Waiting
J.onni for Colored People."
.lust nfter bieakfast Tuesday morn
ing the boys saw something of which
they had merely read up to that time.
The train wound Its way slowly past
the North Carolina state penitentiary
a large, three-story brk-k building, sur
rounded on all sides by a high wall, on
the top of the wall are constructed
sentry boxes and a plank walk protect
ed by a railing. At regular Intervals
are. posted sentinels, who pace tip nnd
down over this elevated plank walk,
carrying well-loaded rifles and leady
for business at any moment in case of
trouble. Another curiosity wns an old
engine, which used wood Instead of
coal. It attracted no small amount of
Interest.
The Southern heat Is already becom
ing very noticeable.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
The Mamllle breaker will start up
the fore part of the week, after having
beep shut down a few days for re

and then n tunnel run to tho old shaft.
Hy cutting off the air at the old shaft
a stream of water which has run
down the shaft and Interfered great
ly with the air, can be diverted and
run into the old "Clark" vein. The
new fan Is twenty feet In diameter,
being four feet larger than tho old one,
and has n speed of eighty-five revolu
tions per minute. Although they nre
mining only the thirty-six inch veins
this breaker turns out seven hundred
toiiti a day and employs three hundred
hands.

VINDICATION FOR
LANDLORDS JONES
PREMISES WERE NOT IN UN
SANITARY CONDITION.
Judge McPherson Takes the Boycr
Case from the Jury nnd Directs n
Verdict for tho Defendants DJd
Not Show the Landlords to Be in
Any Way Responsible for the
Typhoid Fever Two Verdicts
Reached Interesting Suit Be
tween Prominent Firms.
When the testimony In the case of
Hoyer against Jones was all presented
yesterday morning Jttdgo McPherson
ti ok the case from the consideration
of the Jury and directed a verdict in
favor of tho defendants.
Dr. W. 11. Allen, health officer; Col
onel V.. H. Hippie, who was a member
of the board of health at the time of
the deaths In the Uoyer family, and
Sanitary Officer W. II. Murkc testllled
that there was nothing In the construc
tion of the vnttlt, the house or the sink
tbut w;ould tend to caue tvphold, and
this lakir with the testimony as to
Hie manner in which the tenunts used
the premises, led the court to declare
thai the landlords were In no wise re
s onsible t..r the Mid calamity which
overtook the family.
He further ruled that the plaintiffs
hnd no ptoven the claim made In their
declaration that the landlords had wil
fully and fraudulently withheld from
the tenants the condition In which the
premises were in. There were other
reasons, Judge McPherson said, for dis
missing the case, but ho deemed it un
necessary to mention more than these
two
In the case of Lewis & Pro. against
Charles II. Miller, a verdict for the de
fendant was returned yesterday morn
ing. In the case of C S. Turner Sr Co.
against R. I. Cooper, a teruiet for the
defendant In the sum of jsfl '?. was di
rected by Judge McPherson It was a
replevin suit lo recover n balance due
on a safe which the defendants se
cured through sheriff's sale. It was
proven that the safe was only leased
and the defendants being unable to
sustain the contention that It was sold
outright, the court directed a verdict
lor the plaintiffs.
Judge Archbnld tiicd the case of Hill
& Connell ngalnst the ltexford com
pony. II. C. Kverett, an employe of
the latter company, purchased $00
w oi th of furniture from the plaintiffs
on an order for credit to that amount
given by his employers. He nfterwards
purchased J30 worth of goods on his
own credit. He paid fGO and then
censed payments. Hill & Connell
sought to have the Itexford company
make good the JIM balance, but they
contended that the $60 which Everett
paid was to be applied to their order
for credit.
The plaintiff compan held that $30
of it had boon applied to pay the bill
