TROUBLE IN CAMP.
ReincarnatiOn Causes q Split in the
Industrial Ranks.

The commonweal camp at Stegmaier's
was visited by a number of people from
Washington yesterday. Carriages drove In
and out IF the grounds all day. Two games
of base ball were played between picked
nires from Westinghouse in the morn
ing and the other in the evening-but no
disturbance Of any kind occurred. In the
afternoon Marshal Mckee of the Philadel-
phia commune and Gen" Frye of the 'in-
dustrial' army made speeches upon the
subjects that have been pretty much worn
out by Coxey and Browne. Mrs. Dundore.
Mrs. McKinsey Burns and Mrs. Capt. Will
Jams Of the public comfort committee of
Washington also made speeches. in which
they promised to stand by the commonweal
could. Carl Browne. in his order of Sat
urday night, severely criticised Justice
Field for not considering his petition.
There was no speaking at Camp George
Washington in BIadensburg yesterday,
where Calvin and his men are located. Gal
win stated to The Star reporter that Browne
must have mesmeriZed Frye when he visit
ed him in jail on Friday. as he came back
after the Interview and endeavored to make
the California ''industrials'' wear the Coxey
badge. Therefore the men had left Camp
Bastile by vote, as they would neither wear
the Coxey badge nor accept the reincarna-
ton theory of Carl Browne, and that Frye
in becoming a subordinate marshal under
Browne had forfeited the command of that
part of the industrial army. Ward, who is
Galvin'S chief of staff, denounced Frye as a
renegade and deserter for not observing
the constitution of the Industrial army.
The men did not regard themselves as
rebels. but as deserters from the reincarna-
ton theory, whose principles could not be
purchased for few loaves Of bread. Gal
win has been elected In Fryes place a COM
mander of that part of the Industrial army.
Frye said yesterday that he could not be
deprived of the leadership Of the army, ex-
cept by a vote Of the entire army. He was
of the opinion that the men who had come
with him the distance of $500 miles would
prefer him to Calvin and soon return to
him at Camp Bastile. Marshal Bullock Of
the CoxeyfteS visited the camp at Bfadens-
burg yesterday evening with the ladies who
addressed the commonwealers. These ladies
endeaVored to effect a reconciliation be-
tween the rebels and the Coxeyites but to
no purpose for the Calvin men seemed fully
determined not to accept the reincarnation
doctrine of Browne. Calvin babe the ladies'
a polite adieu, and left them while they
were making their appeal. The Calvin men
have no tents to sleep in, and most of them
occupy the barn at night. They have no
idea of staying long in their present quar-
tiers. The men are very hungry, and are
begging from house to house. 1t is feared
by many persons that II they do not get
food they may resort to desperate means to
obtain It. There Is no little uneasiness
attsville over this state Of affairs, and sew.
eral families are talking of leaving the
for a while. Hyattsville has
a strict ordinance relating to Migrants and
beggars, but the bailiffs have so far made
efforts enforce III

rible End.

Mrs. Sarah Carter, an elderly colored wo-
man. who lived at the home of her daugh-
ter, $40 I'd street southwest, went to church
last night. and the weather being warm she
was In no hurry to return home. The ser
vices were longer than usual, and when she
got home it was nearly midnight Soon
after she entered the house she made her
way through the front room in the dark,
and getting a match from the safe she en-
deavored to light the lamp. In doing SO her
clothing caught fire and the flames spread
to the furniture and then to the house. The
heartrending screams for help aroused her
daughter. Mrs. Washington, and number
of the neighbors. and Mrs. Carter was res
cued from the flames, but not until she had
been severely burned about the legs and
body. The police were soon on hand and
the unfortunate victim of the sad mishap
was removed to Freedman's Hospital. where
she died at an early hour this morning. The
flames spread to the adjoining house and
caused about $50 damage. Just after the
burned victim was removed from the house
