State Camp, Peclslill. n Y, June % speciaD.-Tfe
32d Regiment has made good start toward big
record and IT became necessary this afternoon to ap
point garrison courtmartial to try noncomms-
stoned officer OF Company F. Had II not been for the
fact that they lively sprinters about fifty more
men would have been brought before the same court
The thirst for Annsvllle beer caused all the trouble
About O'Clock this afternoon word was received in
camp that fifty or moro of the soldiers carousng
in one Of the dives" In Annsvile. Orderly Mayer
and three pr!vates started for the scene of the dis
turbance in Of the ordnance department wagons.
Upon arriving near the place half hundred men were
discovered carrying loads Of Annsvile beer of varos
Sizes They all scur1fed for the woods when they saw
the wagon approaching Corporal Bryant carried such
heavy load however, that his legs refused TO do their
duty he dropped right down in the grass where he
stood. He was tumbed into the wagon and brought
back to camp Tonight he is in the gus'dhouse where
he will remain until nc Is brought before the garrison
courtmar;ial which will convene tomorrow. All along
the road on the way home those in the wagon came
across small crowds Of the men who had been at
Annsvllle. They would Jump up and run into the
woods much Ike tack1abbts which started from
their hiding place by hunter. Some novel evidence
will be introduced when the corporal is brought before
the court tomorrow. newspaper man who had
portable Photographic outfit went along and took several
nap shots at different stages OF the proceedings Willie
the being scared away and the corporal was
being loaded into the wagon.
project is being discussed in camp to-day which. II
it is brought about, promises to be one of the most
important episodes In the history Of the place 1t Is
proposed to bring the Naval Reserve battalion Pees
Kill on the boat which the battalion occupies while
with the Squadron OF Evolution. The vessel would
anchor in the below the camp and the members
Of the battalion would pay a visit to the camp. An
other proposition is that number OF Army and Navy
officers and well-known military be invited to pay
visit to the camp. Among those whom It IS pro
posed to bring here the Secretary Of War and the
Secretary of the Navy and the President too, may be
asked to come II 1t is found that his official duties will
allow him to make the trip. If the project should be
carried out the occasion wohld be gala day in camp
1t is not thought to be impractcabe, because the New
York camp, together with the organization generally
Of the New York militia, has been used as model for
many other States and military all the
try less interested in the camp at Peelski
The Federal Government appropriated 100000 last
year 10 be divided among the organized militia Of the
several States and II is thought that by arranging such
an affair this great deal Of valuble information
concerning the large amount Of money which IS annu-
ally spent the militia Of this state might be con
veyed to the who will IT to the best advantage
They Will discover that the sum appropriated by the
Legislature each year represents OILY fraction Of tho
money actually spent the National Guard and that
for cood round sum every year. With this Fpowi
edge, they will be inclined to se their influence to
more liberal appropriations from Congress. The
plan for this scheme has not been developed yet but il
has been freely discussed and II is possible that an
attempt will be made to carry ii out the general
plan suggested
The church services were conducted to-day by the
