In your issue of Sunday last your
correspondent relates at length incidents
of early days at Harper's Ferry. While
the article referred to is beautifully put +,
your correspondent must have very poor
memory. or was not there at all.
AS high private in the Culpepper, Va. {,
minute men, we left Culpepper on the
morning 6 o'clock) of April IS, 1861 +,
for Harper's Ferry. On our train and
following us closely were the following
Virginia soldiers:
West Augusta Guards of Staunton,
Va, 60 men.
Louisa Blues of Louisa G. H.. , Va. IS
men.
CuIpepper Minute Men of Cuipepper G.
H. Va, 60 men.
Gordonsville Greys of Orange county,
Va, 80 men.
Orange Rifles, Orange c. H., Va, go
men.
Brandy Rifles of Culpepper county,
Va, 10 men.
Montpelier Guards of Charlottesville,
Va, 60 men.
University of Virginia Students of
Charlottesville, Va, 100 men
Boomerangs of Winchester, Va, 30
men.
Continental Guards OF Charlestown,
Va, 30 men.
Letcher Artillery of Culpepper county,
Va, 50 men.
Imboden's Artillery of four guns and
full complement of men followed the
next day. The Lanier Guards of BaItI-
more arrived on the goth, making about
100 men, rank and file.
We reached Manassas junction about
a. m. took trains for Strausburg, ar
rived about l D. m. got dinner, which
had been prepared by the good ladies,
then took up line of march from Strauss
burg to Winchester, eighteen miles, ar
rived in time for late supper which the
ladies prepared and literally spread all
over town. We took trains about II D.
m. for Harper Ferry, via Charlestown,
arrived in HaTper's Ferry just before
daybreak on the 10Th.
1t is Il fact that most of us had guns of
some kind, except the Letcher artillery,
a company of boys, they were empty
handed, and when the first ''lOng rOll''
was heard, it was amusing to see them
hurry to their quarters and fortify their
barracks with sticks and stones. Maj.
George A. Wheatly, now a prominent
merchant of Austin, was captain of the
company, and a very young brother Of
mine first lieutenant, and now captain
of the Culpepper minute men.
There were none but Virginia soldiers
at Harper's Ferry for six weeks or more
save the BaltimOreans and Keutuckians,
about two hundred strong. l think your
correspondent does the Kentucky soldiers
such gross ignorance; in fact they were
mostly men OF culture and refinement,
and came to Us well prepared to care for
themselves financially as well as with

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-09-04

A VERY novel change in modern war.
fare seems to be on the taPis. Recent
experiments have been made with q
powder which is both smokeless and
noiseless. Under the old system o1
wholesale slaughter of mankind on land
and sea both the armies and the vessels
of the combatants were invested in q
dense smoke. In the maneuvers of 9
land force one of the great uses of cav.
airy was found when masses of infantry
were enveloped in dense cloud. Unde,
such circumstances such a cavalry leade,
as Nurat would sweep through the
obscured cohorts like q thunderbolt,
making rally difficult or impossible.
On the sea vessels were run down unde,
the cover of the dense smoke of the
cannon. Extensive experiments made
in the German army have shown that
not only is it possible to fight battle
without smoke or noise, but the execu-
ton will be twice as great as under the
old system. 1t is hard to realize the
idea of embattled hosts standing oppo-
site each other, apparently intent on
nothing in particular, and yet to see
thousands on both sides dropping to the
ground in the agonies of death. The in
creased accuracy in the rife practice is
possibly due to the fact that there is
neither fash nor report-both calculated
to disturb the nerves of inexperienced or
timid marksmen.

FOREIGN BUDGET.
Admiral Heneage's Doings
Questioned.
DOMINION STATESMEN IN DOUBT
The London Dock Directors Expected
to Yield to the Strikers by
Thursday.

Associated Press dispatches to the HERALD
OTTAWA, Ont, September 3.-The De.
partment of Justice has received dis.
patch from Hon. Hugh Nelson, Lieu
tenant Governor of British Columbia,
reporting the action of Admiral Heneage
in ordering away and removing the
German bark j. A. Hustled from hel
anchorage in Esquimault harbor, and
asking for instructions. No answer has
been sent, as the matter will be laid be
fore the Privy Council. Hon. 81
Upper, Minister of Marine and
Fishery, says the question which arises
appears to be this: Are or are not ships
of Her Majesty's navy exempt from in
structiors issued to the Canadian Gov.
eminent. The -harbor master says al
present no vessels are exempted from
these instructions, and all vessels are
treated alike. Ships OF her Majesty's
navy and ships of the Dominion
of Canada are exempted, how.
ever, from paying harbor dues, but
they are the only exceptions. The ques-
tion arises, are Her Msjesty's navy
ships exempted from coming under these
rules and instructions? This is a new
point and will have to be settled.
Sir Adolph Caron, Minister OF Militia
and Defense, had not considered the
matter, but thought the action of Admi-
raj Heneage extraordinary. A high
Government official said the thing ap.
pears as having probably arisen from
misapprehension on the part OF the Ad-
miral. In every port in England
section of the harbor is set apart for the
use of Her Maiesty's vessels, and nc
other vessels are allowed to anchor within
certain distance of that area. Admiral
Heneage probably thought it was the
same way in this case.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
More Supplies shipped to Greytown
for the Great Enterprise.

New YORK, September BY the
steamship Aguan, sailing from Brooklyn
tomorrow, additional material and re-
inforcement will be sent to Greytown
for the use of the Nicaragua Canal Con-
struction Company. This will make q
total OF six steamship loads and three
sailing vessel cargoes sent to Nicaragua
since the construction party sailed from
this port, May 25th, last. The Aguan will
take down sixty miles of telegraph wire,
sufficient to complete the line now being
constructed from Greytown to Fort San
Carlos on the shores Of Lake Nicaragua,
from which point there is Nicaragua
Government line connecting with San
Juan Del Sur and thence to Galveston,
Texas, via Mexico. She will also take
the first mile of eight-inch steel
water pipe to he used in the pro.
posed aqueduct between Deseado basin
and Greytown, the object being
to supply the Atlantic terminals of the
American canal with an abundance of
pure water. A mile of railroad material
to connect the landing place at Grey.
town with the company's storehouses
along the beach, is also on board the
Aguan, and two additional miles of pipe
and of railroad material will be sent by
each steamer following. Seventy tons OF
provisions, quantity OF house furniture,
bedding, etc., and several railroad con.
struction cars, also form part of the
Aguan's load.

tlOn OF Mountain Forests.
HELENA, September 3.-Rain has ex-
tinguished the fires that have been rag.
ing for the past month. The damage to
timber has been quite severe, but not 30
heavy as anticipated.
In the vicinity of Elliston and Ten
Miles snow to the depth of four to six
inches covers the ground. The fires
ragged fercely Saturday and Sunday.
Fifteen hundred people, it is estimated,
turned out at Elliston and other places
to fight the fire. They worked all night
Saturday and to half-past l Sunday
night. Many came out with scorched
faces, burned clothing and bloodshot
eyes. Huge cinders were blowing in the
air, and the arrival of snow and rain was
never SO welcome as it was there, In
the morning the top Of the range was
covered with snow, very rare occur.
renee at this season of the year.
Fire still shoulders in the trunks of
trees and may make a fresh start If the
wind rises. Many bridges have been
burned, as we'll as miners cabins. The
snowfall saved the. town Of Jay Gould
there.
The fire at Ten Miles was disastrous
one. The timber in that section was fir.
cedar and pine, and was said to be the
finest forest in Montana. Hundreds of
trees were four feet thick at the trunk.
There was one pile Of logs which stood
20 feet high and 800 feet long. The area
burned is very large, and the occupation
of woodmen in that section is gone for.
ever, as everythin is burned to ashes.

For three months this section will be
blessed with weather which the world
envies wherever it is understood. Dur.
ing these coming ninety days balmy
airs, warm and sunny, will characterize
our daylight hours, while the nights will
be just cool enough to be a little bracing.
Surf bathing is not yet at an end, MOI
will it be for six weeks to come. In.
deed, it never ends here, but is INDUCED

and summers surpass the East in their
climatic elements, our falls and springs
do so a hundred fold more. Alternate
frosts and deluging rains will mark the
weather of the East during all these
months, while we shall have cloudless
skies and the most delightful tempera-
turo.

LONDON, September 3.-The ship own
ers again urged upon the dock companies
that the ship owners be allowed to EN-.
ploy their own men in loading and un.
loading vessels. The dock companies
refused, but arranged to present their
views in writing to the ship owners later
in the day. The result destroys the chance
of arriving at settlement today and en-
bitters the men.
The Towerhill strikers met this morn
ing and decided to continue the strike.

the dock directors will yield by Thurs.
day. Mr.. Norwood sent telegram re-
Questing conference with deputatior
of the strikers late this evening. Burns,
in addressing meeting tonight, justified
the manifesto calling for general strike

DEEP LAID PLOT.
How Robert Ray Hamilton Con-
tracted an Unfortunate Marriage.

How Robert Ray Hamilton Con-
tracted an Unfortunate Marriage.
New YORK, September 3.-Mrs. Swim.
ton and her son, Joshua A. Mann, who
were concerned in the Robert Ray Ham
ilton scandal at Atlantic City, New
Jersey, are prisoners at police head
quarters in this city, having been ar
rested by detectives acting under orders
from Inspector Byrnes. They are
charged with conspiracy. At the request
of Elihu Root, attorney for Robert Ray
Hamilton, Inspector Byrnes last week
hunted up the history of the woman
who is now Mrs. Hamilton. The facts
unearthed reveal the details of a con-
spiracy at the bottom of which ia the
woman who made the murderous assault
upon her servant in cottage at Atlantic
city, and whose object was to force
money from Hamilton and to become
possessor Of the family riches.
The investigations of tie detectives
have proven her to bs "a unscrupulous
character. The fact he's been established
beyond doubt that the child which Ham
ilton evidently believed he was the
father of, has not a drop of his blood in
its body. Inspector Byrnes says he has
conclusive evidence that the child was
bought from a midwife for the sum OF
ten dollars and palmed off to Hamilton
as his own. The conspirators in the plot
were Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Swinton.
The latter has made confession of the
part she took in it.
Hamilton said when he married the
woman he thought he had merely righted
a wrong, but if he found he had been i'm
posed upon he would let the law take its
course. He was anxious to have all the
facts in the case ascertained, and was
willing to have it proved that he had
married the woman under false repre-
sentations, if it were possible.
Mrs. Swinton says Eva has frequently
told her since her marriage to Hamilton
how she had imposed upon him, and said
che had carried out the scheme in order
to get the family jewels and eilverware
left by Mr.. Hamilton's mother in her will
TO Robert Rays wife. When she got
possession of these, she said she would
make plenty of money.
Joshua Mann says he and Eva had
been living as man and wife for eight
years. Duringt ne past year she had given
him So 900 to live on. He admitted
that he knew of the deception of which
Hamilton was the victim.

CREsToN, Iowa, September 3.-The
failure of the banking house of L. s..

within the past few days, and being as
sured of its solvency, deposited their
money even after banking hours on Set-

upon all Of Brooks property. The Sher-
if found the bank vaults empty of cash.
Brooks says he will pay, but the credi-
tors are not hopeful. Prominent attor.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-09-04

A CIRCUMSTANCE which it is not we'll to
overlook is that related by a.reputable
citizen of Riverside before the Senatorial
Committee, viz, that the yearly yield
per acre Of some of the orange groves OF
that charming section frequently amounts
to 81 100. 1t has been of late years the
fashion to sneer at statements like this,
and yet they can be truthfully made.
Some ten years ago Col. B. D. Wilson,
a man Of unquestioned veracity, told the
writer that from a single acre of matured
trees he had sold 81, 800 worth of oranges
in year. About the same time old Mr..
Dalton sold from specially fine grove OF
matured trees, which covered scarcely
more than quarter of an acre, eight
hundred dollars worth of oranges. Oh
course, these are exceptional cases, but
the instances in which $500 and $500 an
acre per annum have been realized
have been in no sense exceptional
On the contrary, they have
been quite usual experience with many
orcharaists. 1t is true that such results
have been attained after considerable
waiting, but in many cases the orchard
lists have cropped the ground In vegeta'
bles. In the case where a man has sci
out say twenty acres in oranges and re.
tanned twenty acres more for garden
crops, he has found himself at the end Of
his probation in possession OF grove
which practically means a fortune, and
in the interim he has probably made 9
comfortable living off his remaining
twenty acres devoted to vegetables and
other fruits. It would be hard indeed tc
estimate the value of such lands, and
there will be widely extended reaction
all over the East in this matter. We have
merely limited at the practical side ol
this question. In most cases the property
which yields such practical results it
fancy" in every sense OF the word
owing to climatic and other advantages
and would sell for large sums even in
New York or Connecticut. The foothill
locations Of Southern California are moi
surpassed in the world either for salu
brity or beauty. The report of the
Senate Committee on Arid Lands will
be, at least as respects Southern Cali
fornia, most interesting reading.

ELECTION I'm LOUISIANA,
Democratic Cong ressman Chosen.
Deputy Sheriff shot.

Dsputy Sner11f SnOts
New ORLEANS, September 3.-Tele-
grams from various points in the
Third Congressional District indicate the
election of Andrew Price. the Democratic
candidate, by a good majority over H. G.
Minor, Republican. The affair at Frank
lin, in which Republican Deputy Sheriff
was shot and seriously wounded, is the
only disturbance 80 far reported. A heavy
vote was polled, many negroes voting for
Price.
The only particulars of the shooting OF
Jacobs at Franklin is the following
received by Chairman Moore, of the
Democratic Committee, from John A.
O'Niel, Al old and respected citizen of
franklin:
Jacobs had been troublesome and off.
cious at the polls. Neither the commits.
sioners nor the bystanders knew that he
was Deputy Sheriff, 30 when muttering
threats, he drew pistol and made q
murderous assault, he was shot down
before he could fire. The wound is not
necessarily fatal. No disturbance what
ever followed.
LATER.-The Times Democrat claims
the election of Andrew Price (Democrat)
to Congress from the Third district by a
majority Of 5000 or 1000.
