THE LOST FOUND.

THAT MISSING TELEGRAPH BOOK
"TURNED UP"
All who are in any measure familiar with
the details Of the examination by the
investigating committee into the safe bur-
glary job will remember that there was in
troduced among other records leather-coYered
dirty pass book, such as is ordinarily used by
the messenger boys of the telegraph company
to obtain receipts for messages.
This apparently insignificant book was relied
on to prove the statement Of the man Hayes
that he was doing the work for Col. Whitley,
that he had sent Whitley q telegram from
Washington and that the latter had receipted
for 1t. The alleged signature of Col. Whitley
was in this book, but whether II was verified
to the satisfaction Of the committee is not
known.
Its, however, known that the committee got
so bewildered with their job that they turned
the work over to the Treasury Department and
the courts and left disguised for scenes where
they fondlY hoped for time to DO rid of every
thing connected with investigation. But they
were fooled. Solicitor Wilson tried his hand at
It in all the leading cities, but has failed to
make public the results of his labor. Mr.. Rid
die was designated by the Attorney General to
prosecute the cases but has as yet been unable
to collect his evidence, and so the matter
About two weeks ago, however, some In
quiring person ascertaiaed that this book was
missing, and then there was war. Letters
were sent to Senator Allison and Congressman
Wilson inquiring about the mighty book, which
was to he the silent witness against Whitley
and convict him where oral testimony had
failed. From one end Of the land TO the other
went the charge that the book had been stolen
10 prevent its use in evidence. Senators, mem
bers, judges, lawyers and all joined in the
charge, giving this simple book the notoriety
Of the case Itself. Now, however, they must
feel ashamed, for day or two ago, in looking
over some Of the waste paper which had been
allowed to accumulate In the committee-room,
Mr.. Colby discovered the long-looked-ior much
talked-about document.
This is sad news for those who wers so
anxious to make capital out Of the supposed
theft of It, but It is good news for Col. Whit
ley, who can disproVe the alleged signature.
II Is probable the croakers are looking about
for some other point on which TO continue the
fight, but they may have bad luck again.

wealth of song, for which their home IA the

wealth Of song, for which their home IA the
woods is noted.
Mr.. Jos. A. Kerlin, agent of Sanders & Stay
man, OF Baltimore, the general agents of the
Estey organs, has been for day or two past
upon the ground singing and playing upon the
organs sent here by this Baltimore firm. At
the tent Of Mr.. Jos. Birch, IT,, and the tents Of
the Annapolis company, he has formed one Of
the singing bands who while away the tWi-
light hours in sacred song. One Of these ele-
CANT organs has been loaned for public use
during the camp, which greatly aids in the
singing.
THE oHnDREN's MEETING
at p. 10. was attended by about twelve hun
dred persons, one fifth Of whom were children.
The exercises were conducted by Rev. G. W.
Hobbs, of Grace church, who is becoming very
popular among the young folks Of the camp.
heVs. Z. Kirby and A. H. Ames addressed the
meeting In q manner calculated to please all
the young people, and the singing, which was
the feature of the meeting, was most spirited.
Immediately at the close Of this meeting the
8 o'clock service was held, at which Rev. ]. P.
Wilson, of Sandy Springs, Nd, preached from
John xxxix:5-"Search the Scriptures, for in
them ye think ye have eternal life, and they
are they which testify Of me-" The sermon
was followed by an eXhortation by Rev. G. ".
Hobbs, of Grace church.
At O'Clock the meeting for the promotion
Of holiness was held in the large tent on First
avenue, and was well attended. A special IN
terest in this meeting has been induced by the
fact that large number of persons are here
who profess to enjoy the second blessing of
holiness, and in keeping with the teachings OF
the doctrine they are specially jealous in its
spread.
At 8 O'Clock Rev. ]. R. Wheeler, of Balti-
more, preached from Matthew, xiii:44: "Again,
the kingdom of Heaven is like unto treasure
hid in field, the which when a man has found
he hideth, and, for Joy thereof, goeth and sell
eth all that he hath and buyeth that field"
The subject of the discourse was religion to be
sought because of its desirability. 1t was de-
livered with earuestness and JUNCTION. The
prayer meeting which followed was q season of
great fervor, and a number of penitents pre-
scented themselves for progress.
On Thursday afternoon the meeting of the
Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society will be held.
Addresses will be delivered by Mrs. DR.. Hlb-
bard and Mrs. Keen, Of Philadelphia, who will
be accompanied during their stay at the camp
by General Thomas Berry, of Baltimore.
As the day advanced the heat increased,
and has been without any breeze until
about nightfall, when a cool breeze is tanning
the grove from the northward. Over two thou
sand persons are on the ground. very many Of
whom are additions to the permanent tenters
here.
The meetings are growing in interest, and
the corps of clergymen are doing their duty in
personal efforts. Personal conservation is be-
coming more apparent daily. A.Y L.

A SLEEPING WOMAN BADLY BEATEN
BY A MAN.
Mary Bedford, coloEed, visited the Seventh
precinct station on Monday night, decked out
in her sleeping attire, with the blood running
profusely from wounds in her head. It had
spread so thoroughly over her face as to make
the features difficult to recognize. She stated
that the wounds were inflicted, while she was
lying in bed, by q cOlored man named John H .
Devaughn, with heavy oak strip from bale
of hay. Sergeant johnson and Officer ShImo-
neck started out at once in search of the brute
and found him in a shanty between and F
and North Capitol streets, where the assault
was made. They found the bedclothes satu-
rated with blood, and everything showed that
there must have been hard struggle of the
woman in defending herself. DeYaughn was
taken TO the station-house and locked up, and
DR.. Magruder was summoned. There were
four very bad cuts on her head, from two to
six inches long and to the skull. The man
was taken into the Police Court AMI COM
mitted to jail, to await the action Of the grand
jury.

miles from the city, caught colored man on
the place, and suspecting that be was the per-
son wanted by the authorities Of Prince
Georges county, Nd, for committing the
heinOus crime on the woman near Good Hope,
brought him to police headquarters. The man
simply protested his innocence, and declined
10 make q statement, as the men who captured
him had guns, and be was afraid that any re-
marks made by him might be miscontrued and
result in harm to himself. At police head
quarters he stated to the officers that he had
worked considerably about the Capitol, and
was well known by Mr.. Geo. Nokes; that he
and his wife had misunderstanding, and that
was why he went out into the country. 1t was
proven that he was not the man desired, and

ing and G. Wilson, visited Laurel to engage in
friendly contest with the Star base ball club,
of that town, and were gepteely defeated in
five innings by a score of II to 6. In consider
alton of the fact that the Star is comparatively
an amateur club, and that several of said
picked nine are ex-members of a once popular
club of this city, and that in some four or five
contests with Washington clubs during the
current season they have come out victorious,
we think speaks pretty highly in their favor.

look well to their laurels when they visit the
