TIE VETERAN CORPS ROW.


A Meeting Last Night-Boistorous and
Confessed Procecdings--No Action Accom-
plisbcd.
Tho regular meeting ofathe Union Veteran
corps was held last night, Lieut.. Urell In the
chair, Capt. Thomson being absent from the
city with his wife, who is very i'll in
New York. Tho meeting was attended
with great deal of unnecessary disorder,
and very little was accomplished, the latter
part of the evening being occupied in fill
bustoring. The members 90 the left styling
themselves the "Trip raps," led by Messrs.
Harrison and Simmons, were mainly respon-
sibe for the confusion.
The committee of Ave appointed to investi-
gate the financial affairs of the captain were
called upon to report Mr.. Corson stated
that tho committee had not had time
to thoroughly sift the matter. He
also stated that tho majority of the
committee had amended the resolution
under which they were acting, making
IL read "to investigate the captain" when
the original resolution read to investigate tho
financial affairs of the corps. The chair ruled
against him, and on an appeal the decision of
the chair was sustained by 81 to ~,
The chair then called for tho report, which
Mr.. Simmons read. 1t stated that the COM
mittee met and sent for persons and papers.
Capt Thomason was sent for, and letter was
received from him saying that his papers
were in the hands of his lawyer demand
was mado on the lawyer for the papers, who
refused TO surrender them, Tho papers and
vouchers wore placed before the committee n
short time ago, They showed vouchers al
lowed, $3,5i4.02 not allowed, $730S5 re-
ceipts from tho fair, So,45650. Nine hun
dred and sixty-eight dollars and forty-sevon
cents was neither accounted for by vouchers
nor receipts.
On motion to adopt the report Mr., Duffy
| moved that in the absence Of Capt. Thomason
| the report be laid over until his return.
Commodore Ramsay said the sickness Of Capt
| Thomason's wife was no excuse for his not
being hero. Said he: "If my wife were dy
ing and these charges were against me,
would be hero"
comrades Connell and Hickman opposed
| postponement. Com rade Gordon asked that
| the report be laid over. Mr.. Corson, on bo-
half Of the minority Of the investigation
committee stated that they did not
indorso the report This was n
scheme, he said, to remove the captain, and
| he did not sanction it. The committee. said
| he, had not given Capt. Thomason credit for
moneys disbursed. Thercupon q riotous scene
occurred, dozen members speaking at once,
amid which Mr.. Franklin moved that the
Office of captain be declared vacant, which
motion was withdrawn however, there being
| unanimous objection.
Mr.. Harrison said that tho captain would
probably resign If he had any sense. mo-
| tion to adjourn was made and carried. 1t is
understood that several of tho members who
| stood by Capt. Thomson will resign.

DESTROYED by Fire.

BosToN, July 5-One of the old woolen
mills of the Hurltet Paper company, in South
Lee, Mass, was burned this morning. The
flames are supposed to have been started by a

department was unable to stem the progress
of the flames, and the mill was entirely de-
stroyed with a large stock, including guam
titv of fancy cashmere.
The loss will probably not exceed $125000,
and the insurance is $96,250. The owners
are one of the most extensive woolen manu-
featuring firms in tho country, and their
have been constantly running. Owing to the
recent depression in the woolen trade, it is
doubtful if the mill will be rebuilt,

A Probable Hoax.

New YoRK, July 5.-Wherever inquiry
was made to-day for John A, Knox and Da-
vid b. Sheahan, the latest aspirants for duel
istic honors, the answer was that they were out
of town. The places in which they were
located by rumor were as numerous as the
suburbs of New York. When search was
been chosen to act as seconds it was
found that they also were invisible. The
police professed to know nothing about
the movements of the duelists, and seemed
TO think there was very little danger of a
duel being fought. This evening the rumor
was circulated in the city that Knox and
had there fought the duel, the former re-
ceiving flesh wound in the arm 1t was
impossible to obtain any dfinite confrma-
tion of this rumor, but it was generally

1878, there were but twonty-two in
forty-eight; in 1882 twenty-seven; last
Saturday there were 45S, exclusive Of chill
dren and nurses. That these were not nero
transients or exoursionists was shown by the
fact that the Union Transfer company that
