CAMP -, August 3, 1880.
However questionable may have been the
name, in respect to its appropriateness, bestow-
ed upon this association at its christening, no
one can dispute its right to the title of
veteran" now that more than generation
has passed away since its formation. This is
its thirty-sixth celebration. With very few
exceptions its annual vistations have been to
this spot where, in 1915, the club was in
augurated Hither stately the members have
come, each year with renewed interest in these
festive gatherings, which, if now lacking the
livelier and more eXcitable demonstrations of
earlier days, are productive Of greater solid
enjoyment to those who participate in them.
Taking time by the forelock, few of the
''seed ones" came out on Saturday as an lad
vance guard" with whom came your cores
pondent. After tentpitching Brother Shaw
who presided over the culinary department,
got us up late supper, which needed not the
sauce of hunger" to give it relish, but with
that to season it, you may be sure that full
justice was done to it.
Supper over, smoking and singing were
in order. Sitting in the rear of the tent,
with the ocean spread out before us smooth
as an inland lake, the skystudded with stars,
and with the old time melodies floating around
us, you can imagine how enjoyable it all must
have been. Sunday was passed in manner
becoming the day. True, we were shut off
from pulpit admonitions, but the sermon we
listened to was a thousand fold more effective
than any oral discourse that was ever pro-
nounced, for the voice of the sea is exceeding
ly eloquent. From the heat that prevailed
here during the day, the mercury at one time
rising to 500 and only falling to $40 at7p. NJ,
we judged that you must be in a general state
of fusion" in the city.
This, Monday, morning, the boys were astir
early trying their luck at fishing, and were
very successful the cunners taking freely to
the hook. We would have sent you in mess
of beauties could we have found means of
conveyance. Late in the afternoon a shout
was heard-''Here come the laggards'' as
the main body of the Veterans came in view
"We commiserate the poor fellows was the
additional remark, "for we have had the cream
of the affair" In few minutes the lately
quiet camp was all life and animation. Shaw,
the prince of purveyors, at once set to work
getting up some of his famous "slap-jacks."
the quantity of which that are consumed would
astonish you A hint from the Messenger"
that they are ready to be served leads me,
nothing 10th, to forsake the pen for the platter.
Our camp is yet without NAME Tomorrow
it will be christened. Pic.

Further Particulars in the Schroeder
Lefevre Case.

A San Francisco despatch says the excite
ment over the Schroeder-Lefevre tragedy is
greater than ever. The despatch says the most
peculiar part of the testimony of DR..
Stebbins was to the effect that the
first thing he did after Mrs. Schroe-
ders confession was to go with the hus-
band to Lefevere and obtain receipt in full
for dental services to the Schroeder family
without paying money. His testimony on this
subject was as follows II asked her (NIrs.,
Schroeder) in the presence of her husband how
long this had been going on. She said the first
occasion was two months before asked her,
and asked her husband if the dentist had
bill against them for the work he had done. L
asked if they had paid him anything He said
no. 1 said to him, Il don't know what sort OF
a man this is, but if you should confront him
with the outrage he might offer you insolence
and the bill for the dentistry propose that
Edward and l go to his office and demand the
account We went to the office, and an atten-
dant called Lefevre to come out. i had never
seen him before. AS he came out he motioned
to accost me, and moved his hand to shake
hands with me. drew back, resenting his
approaches, and l spoke in commanding and
imperative voice, and said: Have you an ac-
count against Mr. Schroeder for dentistry?'
He said yes He was pale and tionulous. 1
said Present that account in items, or will
blow your brains OUT That was said unhap-
PLY, in an unarmed condition. Had been
armed I should have committed the deed my
son did. l struck him on the shoulder and
said: Turn to your books sir He quivered
and turned over his index and account book.
He could not find our account. 1 said Where
is your account, sir? You have none. Have
you been attempting to seduce my daughter?
Have you been enticing her under professional
pretences?' He did not answer. turned to
Edward ard said again to the doctor: Write
a receipt in full for all work done to Mr..
Schroeder and for his family He took bill
head and made out a receipt and signed it,
gave it to me and took it. L said: If you
ever meet me in the streets don't dare to speak
to me, and don't dare to speak to Mr.. Schroe-
der or his wife, Edward said to Lefevre:
Did you leave 1164 Alice street little after 8
o'clock last night He hesitated some time,
and then said: No. Edward said something
else, which he will tell at the proper time, and
we both returned to the house."

Mr.. EDIToR:-The article in yesterdays

conspicuously inaccurate. The public will un-
derstand this when it is known that the state

Maine long before the Augusta meeting, and
his coming had nothing to do with that affair.
His remuneration was left entirely with me,
