WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP.
Sad Faces Greet the Sun on the Last
Day OF the Meeting.

WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 25.-There is
an end TO all things and Washington Grove
camp is no exception. Sad faces greeted
the sun this morning as he shown for the
last time on the camp Of 1886. The crowd
to-day almost equaled the number present
on Sunday. The prayer meeting at o
O'Clock this morning was led by Rev. DR..
Edwards and was well attended and really
profitable.
At 1890 Rev. DR.. Hanlon, from Penning-
ton Seminary, Now Jersey, preached to a
large congregation from the text found In
John xiv; SO: "Philip saith unto Him,
Lord, show us the Father, and It sufliceth
us. Jesus saith unto him, have l been so
long time with you, and yet hast thou
not known Me, Philip? lie that hath seen
thou then, Show us the Fatherp His SER
mon was eloquent and impressive, but Gu
tlrely too short, as the congregation would
willingly have listened attendvely for an-
other hour. Long before 2 o'clock the
tabernacle was again filled, the little ones
all being anxious TO be present. as this was
their final meeting, and TO hear again the
voice Of their beloved leader, Rev. IL. 5.
France.
Ladies' meeting at the same hour in the
tent was conducted by Mrs. Clara l.. Roach.
The announcement that DR.. Hanlon would
hold Bible class at 3 o'clock this after
noon drew n large crowd to the tabernacle
at the appointed time. This meeting was
conducted on the same plan as the Bible
class at Ocean Grove, and was of great In
terest. The lesson for this afternoon was
found in Cor Ill. After discussing this
chapter for some time the collection baskets
were passed, and all questions deserving
answers were written on slips OF paper
and placed In the baskets, and were an.
swered by DR.. Haulon. At 6:i5 young peo
ple's meeting was held In the tent, con.
Quoted by Mrs. Kelley and Rev. A. II.
Thompson.
Rev. II, S. France will preach the closing
sermon at 8 o'clock tonight.

THE CoNrINENTALs' TROUBLES.
Magistrate O'Neal Called Upon to De-
eide the Matter.

The troubles existing between the two
factions Of the Washington Continentals
brought both into q magistrates court, and
Justice l.. l. O'Neal will have to determine
whether or not there are two branches Of
the command, and If there is, which is the
Continentals proper. After the split oc-
cured suit was brought by Capt. VIM. W.
Mills, claiming to represent the company,
against John Kelly, one Of the withdrawing
sergeants, to recover sos damages for failure
to return the military suit, which it was
asserted was the property of the company.
The trial came before Justice O'Neal
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Ed. Wright
appearing for the plaintiff and Judge
Bundy for the defendant. In addition
nearly all Of the membership was on hand,
and while 1t could be seen that there was
division In the ranks, still good feeling pre-
vailed and the soldier boys chatted with
each other, joked as to which would come
out victor In the lawsuit, and left the serl-
Gus part Of the picture to the attorneys and
the magistrate. After some legal sparring
the taking OF testimony was entered upon.
For the side of the complainant 1t was
shown that the uniforms were the property
OF the company, fund had been raised to
purchase, and II was the understanding
that each man should return his uniform
upon seveiing his connection with the
command. u was admitted that In all
cases the rule had not been complied
with. The uniforms cost sos each, and this
was the sum sought to be recovered In the
case before the magistrate. When the
other side came to be heard the case grew
perpexing, and there was not such smooth
sailing as had been imagined. Quarter
master Beach was tolerably well posted In
regard to uniforms, as the handling Of them
fell In his department, He had trouble 10
Keeping track OF them, and some had never
been returned to the command when parties
having them quit the company. In
spector Lippardt, In his testimony,
made matters interesting. He said
that the Continentals had reorganized
| FIVE times. The branch he belongs to, he
declared, were the Continentals and the
others the seceders. The company, he
stated, numbered forty seven men. or that
number they had thrty.four men and all
the officers except Capt. Mills with them
which he contended made them the com
mand and gave them the right to control
the Affairs OF the Continentals, AS Sergt
Kelly was one Of the thirty-four, he was
still in the company and entitled to hold the
uniform.
| Other testimony corroboratiye Of this wa'

TIE PLUMBERS UNION
The Only One Keeping Up the Strike
Started Last May.


The only trades union In this city not hav-
ing effected compromise after the mem
orable strike Of last May is the Plumbers
Union, which Is still on strike. Last Fri
day evening they had committee meet the
Master Plumbers Association aud offer, as
a compromise, to work eight hours for SO. 25,
or nine hours for $3.75, providing the mas,
ter plumbers should discharge their present
iOurneymen and apprentices. This they re.
fused to do, and the only answer given the
Plumbers Union was that the shops OF the
seventeen members Of the Master Plumbers
Association were open, and that they could
90 TO work on the same terms as other jour
neymen were employed, that is for $3.50 for
a nine-hOur day. This was refused by the
journcymen, who held lengthy meeting
last evening at their hall, corner OF Four
anda-half street and Pennsylvania avenue.
No further compromise, it is understood,
was decided upon, and the members Of the
union refused to say anything on the situa-
tiOn.
A master plumber last evening said: "It
was just sixteen weeks last Saturday even
ing since the strike commenced. At that
time the Master Plumbers Association
numbered nineteen members, two OF whom
have conceded to the demands Of the jour
neymen and left us. Our members now
employ forty men, about ten Of whom have
been brought here from abroad. The Others
are from the union and such rs we could
get outside. The union now has l3l men,
Of whom they say thirty-oue are unem'
