BATH NOTES.

Steps are being taken by the Brunswick
Platoon of the First Maine Battery to have
an encampment of that company, the Var
mouth Rifles and the Bath Light Infantry,
at the Maine Live Stock Associations
grounds between Bath and Brunswick. In
case it is decided to go into camp, Adjutant
General Gallagher has volunteered to grant
the use of the state tents, camp equipage,
and ammunition for target practice. Col.
Harrington, Inspector of Rifle Practice, has
offered the scheme every encouragement.
He will order the Annual Rife Match
between State Militia companies to be held
there during the encampment, and VIII In
strtrct the companies in rifle practice. He
will also pro, ide medal or purse for the
company making the best score and to be
worn one year by the best shot OF the eompa-
ny team.
The camp will be under command OF Ma
ior Hill of Auburn, and day will be ap-
pointed for inspection by the Adjutant Gen
eral. 1t is proposed to camp three days,
either the first week in October, or the last
week in Sebtember. The proposed camping
ground is a level plain on the direct road
from Bath to Brunswick at an almost equa
distance from each. The Maine Central
Railroad has station there, and both on
account of its accessibility and general de-
STABILITY for the purpose, it is as good a
site for camp as can be found. The Ju-
veniIe Band Of Brunswick will be in atten-
dance during all three days. grand mill
itary ball is planned for the evening of the
second day. AS the reserve militia have
never had any of the ad vantages of state
muster or of rifle practice, the state military
authorities are disposed to offer every en-
encouragement to the scheme. The matter
is at present in the hands of Lieutenant
Frink of the Battery.

THE ADAMS CASE.
An Adjournment Taken to Await a
Decision.

HALIFAX, N. S., Sept. 20.--The Adams
case was resumed in Commissioner McLel-
lan's court this afternoon. Mr.. Meagher,
the counsel for the United States, at once de-
manded the removal of the Chronicle re-
porter who happened to be the only news
paper man present and who had been sub
pRned as witness. The commissioner,
acknowledging the technical justice OF the
demand, asked the Chronicle man to With
draw. He refused to go, but was finally in
duced to do so by Sheriff Archibald, who
was called in and threatened to use force if
the reporter did not leave. HOrdly had the
newspaper accompanied the sheriff outside
when ludicrouS discovery was made that
the wrong officer had been called on to en-
force the commissioners order, the marshal
of the admiralty court being the properly
missioner to call the reporter back and have
the work done over by the marshal, but Nc
Clellan declined to do so. Then another re-
porter who had been subp9ned came in and
Meagher's demand that the man be sent out
was not acceded to. Finally the Chronicle
man came back and was unmolested.
Owen Reilly was sworn in. The witness
said the vessel with the broken topmast
bore up to Digby pier on the 9th or 18th OF
May. He was at work on the pier at the
time and though the day was foggy, 1T
cleared off just then for short time and he
could see the vessel plainly. A piece of can
vas or tarpaulin was hanging over the stern,
and he could not see the name on her. Al
forwards he saw the same vessel brought to
Digby, seized for buying bait, and she proved
to be David J. Adams. At this point, the
counsel agreed to adjourn sine die to await
the decision of Chief Justice Macdonald on
Mr.. Meagher'S application to allow the wit
nesses on the American side to be examined
in the United States by a commission.

FROM CHARLESTON.
The Condition of Affairs Much
Brighter and People More
Cheerful.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 2o.-The condi-
tion Of Summerville for the past three days
in regard to the earthquake disturbances
have been very reassuring, and the people
are strongly impressed with the belief that
the annoying tremors and detonations are
about to cease. On Saturday last the whole
day passed Without even as much as deto-
nation. There were only two scarcely audi
BILE explosions Saturday night, separated by
an interval of two hours. On Sunday, about
o'clock in the forenoon, there was plainly
audible explosion, which was, however, un-
accompanied by the usual trembling OF the
earth. At II o'clock Sunday night there was
a tremor, but as the people have become ac,,
customed to such manifestations, it caused
little comment At 2 O'Clock this morning
there was another slight shock of the same
character. The detonations and tremors are
now at very long intervals, and are unheeded
except by the most timorous. The situation
in Charleston is brighter and more cheering,
fact which is largely due to the favorable
weather and the escape from threatened
West India hurricane. The death list from
the effects of exposure is 40, against SO in
the previous week. There is still scarcity
of skilled bricklayers and plasterers, and
wages are at earthquake prices.

The handsome gray mare Fanny Knox
has been sold by Mr.. Charles G. Sterns OF
Bangor to Mr. Wainwright of Boston, and
she was taken there few days ago. Ihe
price paid is not known but it is understood
to be about $7OO She trotted three heats in
a race in Brockton last Thursday making
the mile in 2.304. Fannie Knox is an unusu-
ally fast mare, very kind and a good driving
horse.
This year, as usual, the many good horses
at the New England and Maine State Fairs
have been the admiration of horsemen from
other States.

+. Hawkins of this city, made very line

The performance of Glenarm for the stall
lion cup at the Maine State Fair Saturday
was very fine one.
During the afternoon the stallion Glenarm
was driven three exhibition miles, the frsC
ne made IN 2S!4 the first quarter in 3o3 Sec Sec
onds, the half in 1.16 the last quarter being
the fastest, in 371 seconds. The mile was
trotted very prettily and smoothly,no breaks
being made. The second mile was not SO
satisfactory, as the horse was frightened, az
an umbrella at the fence, and from au tnat
time out he could not seem to keep ms Ieet,
only catching on to trot fast for little way
and then back again. The time of the mile
was 2313, The. third mile was very satls1actose
ry indeed, and as it was the third fast one oI
the afternoon and as it was trotted late, was
great performance. Going away steadily anu
level, the horse acted better than at any
time during the afternoon, and reached as tne
quarter pole in 373 seconds; the next quaIIel
was half second faster although the morse ,5
made q break, ,and the half was made in 1.14t :;
the third heat was trotted at clip rarely
seen on Maine track, the horse going 70
the three-quarter pole in 35a seconds, anu
the stretch; the last half was trotted in 1.12a
and was great performance. AS IS n9t
likely that this mile will be beaten TO-DAY, II
is safe to say that Glenarm has won gne cuP
and record of 2.27. Glenarm is by GonsIter
latlon, he by Almont, and is owned py MI

Revolution in MADRID.

MADRID, Sept. 20.-A revolution was at
tempted last evening by a number of Spanish
troops quartered in this city. The uprising
was i'll planned and i'll managed, and practl-
cally amounted to but little more than
mutiny.
The trouble was inaugurated by a regiment
of infantry quartered in the Gil Bias bar
racks. The soldiers revolted. broke down
portion of the wall that separated them
from the quarters occupied by tie. cavalry
and intermingled with the men OF the two
cavalry regiments, a number Of whom joined
the revolution. :,
The officers of all three regiments did all
in their power to dissuade the men from re-
voting. But 800 soldiers, after beating a
number of officers and wounding three, de-
serted the barracks and marched in two
bodies through the city. One body went to
Prado, the principal park and promenade OF
Madrid -Four thousand troops were quar-
tered in Prado at the time and the revolu-
tionists expected to be joined by them. The
other body went hurrahing through the
streets of Madrid calling on the people to
join in the revolution, crying, Long, live
the republic and making all kinds OF
threats against the monarchy.
At this time the theatres and other places
of amusement were crowded. The populace
were taken by surprise. To most OF the
public places the people f1ocked in Jam.
All entertainments were abruptly finished;
The streets were soon filled with people, all

The Insurgents attempted, among their first
exploits, to secure possession of the arsenal,
docks and barracks, which they attacked
with open fire, but all these places were well
and successfully defended, and the rebels
were repulsed. Finally, their reversess
drawing them together, the insurgents at
tackled and took possession of the Southern
