Commenda the Bicycle Corps.
WASHINGTON. Sept 1-Iieutenant Will
liam II. Bowen of the army, who inspected
the Connections National Guard during
its recent encampment. has sent to tho
war department o Very complimentary re-
port giving the result OF his observations.
A novelty Of the cncampment was a spe.
cial bicycle service by a corps OF First reg.
ment men, and this featuro Is specially
commended.
"The men were armed " says Lieutenant
Bowen, with the Colts repeating carbine
and with the revolver. A man mounted
on bicycle can 60 TO many places wbers
u would be impossible Go take horse and
the wheel can beat the flag in sending
messages in nearly every case. AS fight
ing force it may not be favored, but as
messengers, patrols and advance guard, IN
my opinion, IL would be advisable
~ would recommend 10 the serious con
alteration Of the war department the ad
visibility Of experimenting with the bi
cycle. The duties OF the military bi
cyclst are those Of carrying dispatches
akirmishing and reconnoisering. As ap
piled Go the signal service, the wheels, II
my opinion, would almost double it's use
fulness."
OF the colored troops Lieutenant Bower
says; "They were simply perfect. and II
getting through tho brush, as demon
strated on guard duty, they exhibited th'
traits of Indians and in scouting exhibite,
an acuteness that was absolutely marvel
GUS" Lieutenant Bowen writes IN term
OF praise Of nearly every feature OF th
encampmnnt. OF the 2.4Tp enlisted mel

doubts as TO the identity Of Almy have
been raised by visit to the prisoner of

piseogee Paper company, who was well ac-
quainted with George Abbott Higgins
was amazed to find in Almy w. +. Lewis,
who he said worked about six months ago
on his fathers farm. He roomed by him
self, and never would allow any one in his
room, even to make the bed. He was we'll
educated, reticent as to his past, fond Of
female society and carried revolver.
j. +. Bryant, who had also known Lewis
at the time he worked for the Higgins fam
lily, was confident that Alny and Lewis
were the same.
