OUR SUMMER.LANDS.
A PLEASANT RESORT FOR CHILDREN.

Special Correspondence Of The EVENING STAR.
SHENANDOAH ALUM SPRINGS, Va. Aug. g.
Pressing home and business duties kept me
from coming to this delightful summer resort
until the nights became quite cool at home, and
it seemed useless to go away. However. L
knew from experience how important it is to
enjoy, if possible, an entire change Of air. Of
food and of Surroundings. and how much the
health and thereby usefulness for the whole
coming year would be affected by it. had
heard that at the Alum Springs there was no
bar. no extreme gayety. involving fashionable
dress and late hours, and therefore decided TO
come here.
We left Washington in the morning and
reached Mt. Jackson about two o'clock pm.
four-horse stage coach awaited us there to take
the mail and passengers to Orkney and the She
nandoah Alum Springs. The ride would have
been delightful up the hills and along a little
mountain stream if the lack of rain had not
made the road so very dusty. This place is
located 1000 feet above the level of the ocean,
in the very midst of an extensive apple orchard.
while beautiful lawns and graperies form the
Immediate surroundings. where the children.
with their mothers or nurses and groups of
ladies and gentlemen walking seated i'm the
shade of the trees. with the blue tinged range
OF North mountains for a background, form a
picturesque scene. There are quite number
OF mineral springs almost within sight of the
hotel and within easy walking distance. -
Inc Alum Springs, which l believe are es-
teemed the most. are now kept under lock and
Key in the night to keep the waters from being
stolen. They look like pool of water i'm
slate rock. Their medicinal quality seems to
benefit variety Of gastric and pulmonary
troubles. Then there are the Chalybeate. the
Arsenic, and the Iron Sulphur Springs. while
within quarter of a mile distance a new
Healing Spring" has been lately discovered
All who are here seem to feel well satisfied
with the benefit they are deriving not only from
the mineral waters, which are free to ALL but
from the dry. pure atmosphere, absence of mos
ketoes, the good and plenteous board together
with the kind and hearty hospitality of the host
and hostess, who, with their bright and amable
daughter. spare no pains to make their guests
feel perfectly at home. Any one having a family
of children should give this healthful summer
resort trial. for, with few Injuries brought
from home. it might We'll be called the Paradise
OF childhood. Every morning grand weighing
is going on. / gained five pounds in one week.
ana others have made similar experience. There
are more people here from Washington than
from any other place. and L expect there will be
many more every year. as soon as this healthy
and delightful locality becomes more generally
known. LIP

Give us Cheap Railway Fares.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Your recent utterances on the subject of rail-
road fares are wel-timed. Has not the period
arrived for the press of Washington and Balt-
more to call attention to the excessive rate of
fare between the two cities and urge retluc-
ton thereof? The distance by the Baltimore E.
Ohio, one of the roads is, believe, thirty-eight
and by the other forty miles, yet on 10th roads
for round-trip ticket two dollars is demanded
being at the rate of two and a-half cents per
mile. or more. When the amount of travel be-
tween these two large cities is considered. is not
this charge enormously excessive? One dollar
or certainly one dollar and a-half for the round
trip would be ample. and such rate would I'M
mensely develop the local travel. A comparison
OF rates with those charged by the roads run
ming out of New York, say to Newark and other
places near by, will show that persons travelling
between Baltimore and Washington are the sub
jects OF most unreasonable charges.

Reported Mail Robbery.

THE STORY TOLD By THE CARRIER.
This morning the mail carrier, who takes the
73O mail from Washington and Georgetown to
TennallytOwn and Bethesda, returned about II
o'clock with the story that he had been robbed
of his mail pouch. He says that when within
about 100 yards of Tennallytown a man called
out to him that he had dropped the mail. and
that looking back he saw man pick it up. jump
into wagon, attached to which was grey
horse. and drive rapidly off. He says that he
hred four shots at him from revolver, but did
not hit him. 1t is supposed by some people here
that the boy fell asleep and lost the mails and
that that is about all there is about it. John
NAPLES. of Washington, is the contractor for
this route for $3.50 per annum.

Marvin in Custody.
HIS PASSAGE THROUGH THIS CITY AND NcARCE-
RATION IN RICHMOND.


RATION IN RICHMOND.
Detective Robert H. Pinkerton, of New York.
passed through this city yesterday on his way to
Richmond having in custody Thos A. Marvin
alias Merton, etc. the much-married scoundrel
whose recent villainOus exploit marrying and
deserving Miss Turpin of Richmond. and cozen-
ing some of her relatives, besides one of the
banks in Richmond, has brought to an end a
long career of libertinism and swindling Brow
nell, the brother-in-law Of Miss Turpin, also ac-
companied Marvin through this city. Marvin is
tall, rather spare man Of fully fifty years, with
rudy face and searching grey eyes, partially
concealed by overhanging brows and spectacles.
He appears to be man of nerve, brains and
culture, and assumes an air of con-
scious innocence, occasionally displaying vir-
tuOus indignation that he should be the victim
OF case of mistaken identity.
HE HAS CAREFULLY PREPARED STORY
as to where he was at the time he was engaged
in his scheme in Richmond. He calls himself
General Budlong A. Morten and claims to have
won the title in the army, and never knowingly
to have wronged man out of dollar. He
says he studied four years in the school of civil
and military engineering at Heiderburg, Ger
many. where he graduated. On the war break
ing out he entered the service for three months,
and then re-enlisted. When Gen. Mcpherson
was appointed general superintendent of mill
tary railroads with the army of the west he
selected him as one of the superintendentS and
was burned out in the Chicago fire, buried his
first wife In 1872, and in succession lost little
boy of five, his Oldest daughter, aged thirteen,
and in 1876 his two remaining children. little
girls, were drowned while out sailing. In July,
1876, he was a witness at Washington at the
trial of Gen. Belknap, and on the Oath of July
was married to his second wife. After visiting
the Centennial they went to New Haven. where
he claims to have lived ever since. He claims to
have been engaged with numerous railroads in
making estimates.
MARVIN, LIKE GUITEAU AFRAID OF LYNCHING.
The party left this city yesterday morning and
arrived in Richmond about noon. As the train
approached that city Marvin expressed dread
OF mob violence but was assured that he would
be protected. He was taken from the train at
the head of the city, and carried into town in a
carriage under police escort. He had an honor
able reception, the mayor of the city being along
as well as the commemorative attorney, who
accompanied him to the statiOn-hOuse where he
was locked up. He will have hearing before
the police court in Richmond to-day, and will be
escorted there by strong police force. The
first charge preferred against. him is grand lar
ceny, and upon this he will be tried first. 1t is
not known yet whether Miss Turpin Marvin's
last victim, will be willing to face the ordeal of
the courtroom. If she declines. then he will
escape the charge of bigamy, so far as Virginia
is concerned.
