LIEUT.. ARN0LD'S CASE.
A Position Offered Him-Dfderence of
Opinion Among the Commissioners.

The Commissioners have about concluded
their investigation OF ex-Lieut Arnolds con-
duct under Major Walker. for which he was dis
missed from the police force by the late board
of Commissioners II is no secret that two of
the Commissioners believe he has been ILL.,
treated, and are anxious to do something for
him. Some time ago, it will be remembered,
the Commissioners learned that certain en-
ployes Of the District government were the
owners Of carts which were employed in work
immediately under their contract and issued an
order forbidding il. Prominent among these
cart owners was NJ. J. Faley, inspector of clean
ing streets and alleys. The Commissioners in
vestigated the matter and concluded to make
change in the Office. IL is known that Mr..
Arnold has been offered this place, but whether
he will accept it is an open question yet, as It
Is known the position Is distasteful to him. The
change, at any rate, will not take place until
Commissioner Douglass returns, a majority
OF the board is necessary TO approve the change,
and it is well known that
MAJOR RAYMOND Is AGAINST THE APPOINTMENT
| Of Arnold to any position under the District
government Major Raymond still has the
papers in the case, but it is understood he has
been through them carefully and will make n
protest should the Commissioners appoint Ar
mold. In speaking to n STAR reporter of the
case, Major Raymond said:
las yet no action has been taken by the
board appointing Mr.. Arnold to any position.
He was dishonorably dismissed from the police
service before became Commissioner"
"Have you concluded yoar investigation of
the papers in the case?" asked the reporter.
Yes, have" replied the major, Il have
gone over the papers and read the proceedings
of the trial carefully. He was undoubtedly
properly dismissed According to the evil
dence and according also to his own verbal state
ment before the present board. he deliberately
signed an official communication addressed TO
the Commissioners which contained false state
ments. He repeated these false statements in
the most solemn and emphatic manner in the
presence of two Commissioners. This is
enough to show that he is not the proper per-
son to place in any position under the District
government"

Everything was dank, heavy and disagreed.
BILE, except the hearts of those who had re.
ceived mamma in the shape of well-filled boxes
packed by appreciative mothers, sisters and
sometimes best girls. Many banquet was
spread in the tents, and from the camp rose
sounds OF mirth and the cracking of chicken
bones.
The greatest good nature shone out on all
sides and the men, with replenished stomachs
were in different mood from that in which
they awoke to see the threatening heavens.
The wharf became the grand loafing place fol-
the camp, and it was only deserted when the
last boat left for town. Some went to River
View, but not many, for this pilgrimage cost
money, and bv yesterday morning nearly every
purse was empty and credit was bad.

THE NATIONAL GUARD BAND.
Prominent among the many things which
have made life in Camp Ordway more pleasant
than the meteorological conditions tried to
make it was the band. Composed of thor
ough musicians and amiable gentlemen, it
could not be otherwise than popular. Prof.
Schroeder worked hard to organize it and
his efforts have resulted in giving the
District national guard a band which will COM
pare favorably with the soul-stirring aggrega-
tons attached to any brigade in the country.
When the weather has been fine in the evenings
the band has always furnished the music-loving
militiameh with lengthy and cleverly varied
program. More than once the music has
been such as to move the boys to show
their saltatorial agility, and Saturday night
this was So to a marked degree. Yesterday
evening, after coming off dress parade the
band marched over to Gen. Ordways head
quarters tent and rendered number Of beau
tiful and suitable selections, commencing with
Hail to the Chief" When the program ended
Gen. Ordway stepped up to Prof. Schroeder
and thanked him and the other members
of the band for their pretty compliment. To
Randsman Caesar Campagna, the cornetist. the
general and staff are much indebted. Every
night, rain or shine, he has treated them to the
sweetest of music just after the trumpets have
sounded ''taps." Last night, when the entire
staff was at headquarters, Mr.. Campagna blew
"Annie Laurie, ''Then You'll Remember Me, :"
and 1.-The knights Farewell" out of the big end
of his cornet, and was heartily applauded for
the very artistic manner in which they were
rendered

Hundreds OF Lives Reported Lost an

A Vienna special cable to the Philadelphia

Southern Hungary, Pennsylvania and Bukovina.
The destruction of property was enormous and
there is reason to fear that hundreds of lives
have been lost. The area Of the disturbance
was several thousand square miles. Many
bodies Of men, women, and children and car

THE UNION STANDS FIRM.
No Reduction I'm the Price of Compost
ton Will BE Accepted I'm New York.

n. Y. dispatch to Baltimore American. July 2s
To-day's meeting o: Typographical union,
No. 6, is said to have been the largest ever held
in New York city. A thorough discussion OF
the troubles Of the past week was had, and by
a vote of about 500 to 400 it was decided to re-
sist to the utmost any reduction in the price Of
composition. Many members were unable 10
get into the hall where the meeting was held,
and waited outside TO hear the result. Some
few were not averse TO the making Of conces-
sions to their employers, and others desired
certain notifications, but the great mass OPP
posed change in the present scale. They re-
gard Big Six as the backbone of trades-unionism
in the United States. and it is assumed that il
the scale were reduced here, the printers
stronghold, reductions would follow in the
trade all over the country. Fears also en-
tertained that other trades might be affected.
Two hours of discussion preceded the vote.
Some difficulty was had in deciding upon Q
further course of action, but it was concluded
TO leave the matter in the hands of a committee
with power, the committee TO be selected by
the chapels Of the offices in which the dispute
lies.
One of the delegates to the recent convention
in Denver said that unions all over the country
had urged No. to resist the proposed reduc-
ton, and that promise Of support had come
from all trades.
Chapel meetings were held by the various
offices. Work is proceeding usual tonight,
but trouble may arise at any moment.
The Mai and Erpress has solved the diff
Guilty with the printers by abolishing piece
work in the Office. All the men there now
work eight hours a day, and are paid salary
of S2l a week. The same system is in opera
ton on the evening Sun and World
THE NEW SCALE.
The New York Tribune to-day says: When
the meeting adjourned at am. the commit
tee had decided upon three scales, which it
will submit to the proprietors to-day. II was
willing to make some concessions, and all the
committeeman were in favor Of settling the
dispute without strike. A somewhat modified
scale as regards piece-work will be proposed
and as an alternative, an entirely new scale Of
time charges. The third proposition that will
be made, if neither of the others is accepted,
is that the proprietors may keep the cuts and
pay So cents thousand ems for composition
II none of these is acceptable the men in the
three Offices will be called out, and as Presi-
dent Bolsey said, "Then they will have to
fight" The committeeman said that the dis
cussion was carried on in quiet manner, and
that the feeling was altogether conciliatory.

Harrison Dingman. the most vorshipfuI

ton clandestine and warning all members Of
that rite that they are liable 10 discipline

edict, aside from other questions arising in the
Scottish Rite controversy is stated to be that the

relations Of amity and Masonic correspondence
with the Grand orient Of France. the govern

Grand orient has stricken the name Of Goa

that they are not members of the Gorgas Ger

Another Cerneau organization is presided over
by John ]. German of New York. These bodies
were organized about ten years ago by men
who claimed TO repudiste the consolidation OF
1868, by which the Cerneau organizations were
merged into the Northern supreme council OF
the Scottish Rite. The edict Of Mr.. Dingman
makes no reference 20 the German Cerneau
organization, because no question in regard 70

Some of the sppetites displayed were wonder
ful-marvelous as the tales of gastronomic con-

he, with his own two eyes, saw one man drink

cups holding nearly quart each-equal in all
to nearly twelve ordinary coffee cups He
also heard man say that he had

his nose remarked: well, don't care what

THE FINAL DRESS PARADE.
Gen. Ordway decided when he had surveyed
! the drill ground and when he saw the throngs
of people on the reservation that the time was
up for a final dress parade Of the brigade, and
so orders were sent out early in the day Tor the
men to assemble at $50. The result
was q brigade dress parade the like of
which has never been witnessed in the
vicinity since the war. The visitors flowed up
the road and into the field in a steady stream
for fully half an hour, and when the brigade
line, by few fine maneuvers, formed on the
plain, the bluecoats were confronted by fully
1t was fortunate fact that with all the rain
and mud the brigade has missed but one parade,
that of Friday, and the result of the practice
was shown yesterday when the guard marched
like veterans and when the hundreds Of spec
tators sent forth cheer after cheer to the blue
wall of men moving like clockwork. When
parade was dismissed Gen. Ordway took occa-
sion to say a few words of thanks and compii-
ments to the officers of the line, and in sending
them back to their commands he expressed a
hope that they felt well satisfied with their
weeks work as he with what both officers and
men had done.
The breaking of the brigade line was beau
tiful thing to witness. The order was for COM
panies to break from the right and march to
the rear. and it executed with precision
and accuracy that brought out thunder of APP
plause.
Col. Bates, an officer of the US. army, who
spent the day with Gen. Ordway, witnessed the
parade and said afterward that in his opinion
the general and his men had done wonder

After parade the men had all their time to
themselves, and they occupied it to good ad-
vantage in enjoying the company Of their
friends from town.
THE COOK IN EFFIGY
The artillery and cavalry boys burned some
thing yesterday evening that looked remarka-
bly, like some kind of man. The figure was
made simply by stufing an old vest and a pair
of trowsers with straw and keeping the frag-
ments together by the use of scraps
of string and pins. In the lower por-
ton OF the artillery's camp a bonfire was
blazing, and here, as close to the blaze as was
possible, were a number of soldiers who were
engaged in a good-humored endeavor to get

offender by court-martial. The presiding
officer was Sergt. Ferguson; the at
torney for the defense was Sergt
Jack She pherd, and the interests of the COM
blnation of old clothes and straw were looked
after by Driver Shannon. Testimony was taken
as to the cuisine arrangements, and the jury
headed by Driver Bob Joyce, speedily
found the prisoner guilty of everything
charged in the specifications and a good
deal more. In few minutes the
effigy was fastened to one end of a fence rail,
while the other end of the rail was sharpened
as though for use in the ground. The pris-
oner was first shot by trooper and then straw
and other infammable stuff was placed all
around it until it could barely be seem The

gray clouds that had been hanging like pail
over Camp Ordway burst as by magic and let
down flood Of sunshine on the head Of Rev.
DIR. Perry, as he announced his text for his
sermon. He was standing ON temporary plat
form at the foot of the brigade flagstaff,
and he was surrounded by two hundred blue
coats, formed In a hollow square. Col Clay
stood uncovered at one corner of the square,
and the officers Of the second regiment were
in front of their battalions, while the band
was placed at the southwest corner. About
twenty-five men selected from the regiment
were grouped on the mound of the flagstaff,
and waited for the sign from Prof. Schroeder's
baton to sing hymns The services were SYM
pie and impressive, being conducted in accord
ance with the ritual of the Episcopal church.
They were preceded by voluntary by the
