Lieut.. Harrison Deserts the Opposition
Their Indignation ut His Action.


Their Indignation ut His Action.
The internecine war in the camp of the
Union Veteran corps has assumed several
phases of late, while the serious charges pre-
ferred against the commanding officer, Capt.
S. L. Thomson, by an opposing faction in
the company are we'll known. The Thoma-
son party claim that the fight was waged by
soreheads and jealous minded members and
the other side, formerly headed by Lieut..
Harrison, have alleged crookedness
Last night meeting of the disalfected
members was called at the residence of Lieut.
Harrison, who has figured as leader of the
opposition party, and thirty-two members
responded. Imagine their surprise upon ar.
riving at Harrison's house to find, instead Of
the lieutenant, the following note:
GENTLEMEN: have come to an understanding
with Capt. s. +. Thomson aud believe myself 10
be IN the wrong, and am man enough to aclnowl-
edge II. IeXpect To be at the meeting tomorrow
nlgnt to support Capt. Il. Truly yours
Il. b, HARRISON.
The note was read and indignation cropped
out all over the countenances of the thirty
two. A sidewalk conference was held, and il
was unanimously resolved to adjourn TO Cos
mopolitan hall and hold an indignation meet
ing, which was done. During tho meeting
Lieut.. Harrison received many blessings, and
the striking members declared that he had
weakened, because Thomason had brought
suit against him.
'"We have never said anything that re-
fected upon Capt. Thomason's integrity"
said one OF the number. ut was Harrison
who made the serious charges, and now he
has backed down"
Another member of the disafiected faction
declared that the strikers had majority of
forty members, and would fight il out ON the
ground that Thomson, while not crooked
had not acted for the best interests of the
corps. A committee consisting of Messrs.
Hickman, Carnell, and Simmons then visited
The REPUBLICAN office and set forth the
above statement of facts. There is consider
able comment at the action of Lieut.. Harrison,
who has all along lead the movement against
the commanding officer.

WASHINGTON LIGHT INFANTRY

Monthly Meeting OF the Corps-Enthu-
siasn as TO the Proposed Encamp pment
ut Cape May.
The Washington Light Infantry corps held
its regular monthly meeting last night at the
armory, Col w. G.. Moore, presiding, and Mr..
w. c. White, secretary. Five active mem
bers were elected, and the following gentle
men were elected honorary members George
r. Aiken, William Dietz, A. Willige, r. f.
Bartle, Capt. j. III. Doyle, DIR. A. S. White,
John b. Hammond, j. G. Gattinger r. p.
Stephenson, Il. A. Shuster, Col. A. IL. Holt, II,
A. Parke, and ID. ID. Kane.
The subject of the coming encampment ut
Cape May was discussed and the greatest en-
thusasm was manifested. The corps have
purchased forty tents, which Quartermaster
Breitbarth will have pitched upon the lawn
in front of the Stockton, and which the boys
will occupy during their stay. Adjt. Gen.
Webster and staff have accepted the invita-
tion of the corps and will accompany them on
the trip. 1t is believed that at least $50
members of the corps will go, and probably
double that number of honorary members and
friends will accompany them.
Last year the Infantry were the recipients
of great deal of attention during their en-
campment at the Cape, and it is believed that
even greater courtesies will be heaped upon
them this year 1t was decided last night to
leave on Saturday night the eighteenth in
slant, and to return on Monday, the twenty

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
BIRNEY VS.. WARNER.
To NE Editor.

1t appears from a report of the proceedings
of the school board at its lato meeting that
Trustee Curtis took exception to the assign
meut Of Gen. Birney to the county school d-
vision whore ho resides, and he demanded
I" to know tho reason for the change" and ho
added, "the public, think, would like to
know :"
Well, tho people of the second division, or
number of them, stated the reason in writing
and that statement is understood to have
been forwarded by the commissioners 70 the
school board 1t set forth n desire on the
part Of the people of the second division to
have their schools assigned to the care and
management of come resident of that di-
vision. IL called for local representation on
the school boatd. In response to this prayer
of the people the school board assigned their
schools to the resident trustee, MIR. Warner.
And now, having given "the reason for tho
change" from Birney to Warner in the sec
ond division, should like to know, and the
public, think, would like to know, where
General Curtis gets his title, and particu-
lary how he managed to get his name hoisted
TO tho bell tower of the Georgetown public
school building, in defiance of tho rule, en-
forced in tho remainder of the district, that
public school buildings shall not be named
after living persons. Why was an exception
made in his case and for Georgctown2 Has
Georgetown no honorod dead among her
Linthcums, Dunops, Coxes, Corcorans,
Cooks, Hydes, Dodges, and others, worthy to
be commemorated? Who will believe that
the school board has done its whole duty
until it has corrected this mistake and re-
named the Georgetown school building in
accordance with the rule which has been ap-
piled to the rest of the DISTRICT CITIZEN.

"Well, no." replied the reporter in draw

=" He is though" continued the young man.
I" My father who has just returned from the
point, met an old acquaintance of his there,
who owns large farm in that neighborhood,
and he stated positively that Howgate spent
tho night at his place not many days ago. He
also said that it is currently believed that the
defaulting officer lives not many miles from
Piney Point, and pays regular visits to this
city in disguise" This statement verifes the
article published in THE REPUBLICAN some
time ago. in which it was stated that Howgate
was quietly living in Virginia, and was not

Statistics as to Crime.

Major Dyes annual report will show that
the total number of robberies burglares, and
larcenies in this city for the year ending June
30, 1888, was 712. During the first three
quarters of the year, under the old detective
force, the number was 565, while for the last
quarter, under the nIH detectives, there were
but 147, or only 7S per cent. for the quarterly
average. In other words, these crimes have
decreased % per cent. The showing in favor
of the new detective corps is seen to better
advantage in numerical statement of bur
glaries alone. During the first quarter of the
year ending June 80 1883, there were 3s bur
glaries, second quarter 80, third quarter 80,
and in the fourth quarter (under tho new
detectives) only II. Maj. Dye is making ex-
crtions to secure thorough police protection
to houses left vacant by their owners for the
summer, He requests all houscholders leav-
ing the city and closing up their houses to
notify him or the Lieutenant of their precinct
of the time of their departure and says that
the policeman will be required to give special
attention to such houses and ascertain at
short intervals that they are safely locked
