ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
WnLIAMsPoRT, PA, July 16.-When the sun
set gun doomed tonight Camp Maloney was
closed. Special orders were issued by De-
partment Commander Boyerat o'clock this
afternoon, announcing that the camp would
close tonight, one day earlier than anticipat-
ed stating as his reason that, owing to the
threatening weather, the majority of the
visiting posts attending the encampment
had decided to break camp to-day and leaye
for their homes at once.
The attendance to-day was small. Little
life was shown about the camp, and no busf-
ness transacted. The dress parade was held
tonight, and most of the veterans left for
their homes to-day before the camp had
been formally closed.

A MAINE Mavor has forbidden religion

A MAINE Mayor has forbidden religious
services in the Poorhouse, on the ground
that they excite the paupers. According to
the general belief, a pauper has q soul to
save, as well as the rich man, whether his
nature is excitable or phlegmatic. If relig
ious services were to be denied all excitable
people, the churches would speedily dimin-
ish in members. and the pastors could not
collect enough to pay their living expenses.

A CELEBRATED CASE.
II becomes More Complicated in Court
This Morning.


This Morning.
George i. Clarke, whose case has be-
come celebrated through it's complica-
tons, was brought before Judge Cox yes
tcrday afternoon on writ of babeas cor
pus. Mcssrs. c. c. Cole and William A.
Cook appeared for Clarke, and Messrs.
Mackay and Claughton represented the
plaintiff, Samuel Carson, upon whose af-
iidavit the GO ga was originally issued and
Clark taken into custody.
The counsel for Carson demanded q
trial by jury and Judge Cox ordered the
issues of the case to be formed, and ad-
jourped the proceedings until this morn
ing. when the hearing was resumed in
the Circuit Court
The charge brought by Carson was that
Clarke was endeavoring to conceal his
property from his creditors, in order to
avoid the payment Of his debts, and al
legged that he had deposited the sum of
$4,000 in bank in the name of L. u.
Clarke, jr. It was also alleged that
Clarke and his brother engaged in
business together and falsely pretended
that they had not.
Mr.. c. C. Cole on behalf of the defend
ant claimed that the plaintiff did not show
that there had been any. deposits or con-
cealment of property or that he had any
interest in business with his brother.
The charge that he secreted property
for the purpose of dcfrauding his creditors,
Mr.. Cole said, was not the issue before
the court, as such an action could be pre-
vented by bill Of discovery. 1t is a
grave question, he said, whether or not
the statute under which Clarke was
arrested for debt is now in force. The act
Of 1858, he thought, repealed the law au-
thnrizing the arrest of persons for debt.
Mr.. Mackay said that If any disposition
had been made of the property so as to
hinder or delay the payment of creditors,
such an act would come under the statute
and justify the arrest. That this was
done was clearly shown by the plaintiffs
bill Of particulars.
The counsel for the defendant demurred
to the bill Of particulars presented by the
plaintiff and after some discussion Judge
Cox decided to strike out the bill and to
end the case by ordering the discharge Of
Clarke.

The Pig in the street Car.

There is one woman in Boston who is
determined that her sex shall not debar
her from putting heavy mark ON the
next generation. She is school teacher,
and one of the few who do not undervalue
their position and its influence. She has
suffered deal in her time for the bad
manners prevalent In public places and
every year she has about fifty boys and
girls between the ages of and o in her
power between five and six hours five
days out of seven, and she thinks that it
will go hard if she does not do something
toward intoxicating manners into them.
and at the same time hitting the parents

result.
This is one of her methods. Once week
half an afternoon is given to recreation.
and she invents games FOR the amusement
and instruction of her class, so that while
they think they are playing they are really
learning something. One of these games,
the one in fact which the Youngsters en-
joy most, is called street car" The CEN
trail aisle of the classroom with its row of
seats on either side becomes the electric
car. A boy is chosen for the motorman.

way the teacher makes the class UNDER

children are all passengers. They are
supposed to be business men returning
home to dinner-and it is impressed upon
them that they are very tired and very
anxious to read their papers-and women
who have been shopping or to the matt
nees.
One by one the children signal the car,
and the conductor rings his bell, the
motor man turns his crank, the passenger
enters, walks down the aisle and takes
seat. Finally all seats are taken, and to
point the play the better most of the boys
enter first and take the chairs. Then the
girls board the improvised car. The boys
being impressed that they are very tired,
politely rise one by one and civilly offer
the girls the seats, until every one is up
but one boy who is known in the game as
the pig" Then the teacher enters. She
plays her own part and the children are
supposed to be her old pupils, who are
glad to see her, and all the girls, even, are
anxious that she should take their seats,
and still the pig" glanced at with sur
prise by all the children, sticks to his seat.
Now this game is very popular with the
class, but no one enjoys being the "pig."
The teacher says that she already notes
the great improvement which her pupils
show In manners. They are most anxious
to do civil things for one another, "and, ;"
