Activity In Grand Army Circles for tn
ElcRna pment.

Activity In Grand Army Circles for the
E,canpment.
There Is great activity being displayed
in Grand Army circles this week among
those of the order who expect to go to
Louisville to attend the national epcamp-
ment. All tho arrangements are now COM
pleted, both by department headquarters
and the posts that will go by their own
selected route. Mr.. Geo. D Scott Of John
A. Rawlins Post, No. /, has written a song
that has been dedicated to Col. Henry s.
Cohn Of Louisville, which he has called
THAT Old Tattered Flag" which he will
sing at the encampment, where 1t viii have
the advantage of chorus of nearly all
the assembled veterans. 1t is a stirring
composition and will undoubtedly arouse
great enthusiasm. Posts Nos. 1, s. 6. Z, 8,
II. L. 10 and 10 and their friends will go
over the Baltimore and Ohio road on Sum-
day next. September s. The arrangement
made for leaving at PM, after the heat
of the day, with an hour stop at Cincin-
natl the following morning for breakfast,
and the arrival at Louisville at l 80 the
same afternoon, In time for dinner, seems
to have caught the popular idea. A train
of vestibuled day coaches and Pullman YES
tibuled sleepers will make the trip a COM
Portable and delightful one. A representa-
tive of the Baltimore and Ohio company
Will accompany the train, and look out for
the comfort and wants of the passengers.

HIS NECK WAS BROKEN.
Matthew McGarveyss Foolhardiness
Has n Fatal Termination.

Matthew McGarvey's FOOIhardiness
Has Fatal Termination.
While attempting to walk across one of
the girders supporting the K street bridge
across Rock creek about o'clock last
evening, Matthew McGarvey, residing at
114O 23d street, lost his balance and fell to
the roadway of the bridge. He struck up
on his head, suffering such injuries as to
cause his death a few minutes later while
being conveyed in the wagon of the third
precinct to the Emergency Hospital
McGarvey is said to have been a derrick
raiser, and yesterday, 1T is understood, he
worked part of the day at the Rock Creek
cemetery When he reached the bridge
last evening he is said to have been in
toxicated, and his attempt to walk the
girder is supposed to be due alone to a
drunken freak. He was seen to fall by
two colored men, and when they ran to
him they found him bleeding from a cut
on the head and from the mouth, ears and
nose. Acting Sergt. McNeeIy of the third
precinct soon arrived on the scene with
the wagon, but the injured man was then
dying, and expired before the hospital was
reached. At the hospital the physicians
decided that McGarvey had broken his
neck. The coroner concluded that an in
quest was unnecessary, and the body was
removed to an undertaking establishment
to be prepared for burial. The deceased
was about thirty-seven years of age I'M
married, and resided with his brother-in-
law, Stephen Dorsey.

ON. MANASSAS FIRLD.
A Ring Picked Up on the Ground
Where the Battle Ragged

Where the Battle Ragged
Al correspondent of The STAR writing
from Manassas, Va, says: Although more
than thirty years have elapsed since the
first and second battles of Manassas in
teresting articles are still found by the
relic seeker. Only few days ago friends
found shells containing powder, pieces of
canteens and whole bayonets. But write
to mention a most peculiar and interesting
find. A young man, Laws Spencer, living
on the old Logan farm (Catharpin P. o.
picked up a ring in the famous Deep Cut,
which has a history. The ring is of good
gold. with bloodstone scroll intaglio. The
motto on 1t is "Sic itur ad astra.' Around
the scroll is V. NJ. l., and at base a pen
and sword crossed. Inside is engraved
zone of the. 80. c. Henderson, July 4,
1850" My friends tried to purchase it,
but he refused several large bids. With
some care we have tried to reach the own
er. Gen. Scott Ship, superintendent of
V. NJ. l., says: 20. c. Henderson was a
classmate of mine and was wounded in
the hand at second Manassas" He sends
also the register Of V. NJ. l., and it shows
that o. c. Henderson was captain of Viz
ginia battery. This register also shows
that there were Just Twenty-Five in the
class of SO. I have heard of the fellow
who found the needle in the haystack,"
very strange that this ring should be
found at all, but strikingly strange Il
should be found SO near the anniversary
of that terrible battle Our suppostion is
that o. c. Henderson had finger shot off
and probably if search We're made he
might find long lost bone. The Deep Cut
witnessed bloody contests. An officer who
was in the engagement writes about the
fight on August 30, 1862: Before the rail-
road cut the fight was most obstinate. I saw
a federal flag hold it's position for a half
an hour within ten yards of flag of one
Of the confederate regiments in the cut
and go down six or eight times, and after
the fight one hundred dead men were ly-
ing twenty yards from the cut, and some
of them within two feet of it. Some Of
the men fought with stones, picked up out
of the cut, long after their ammunition
gave out. Line after line surged up the hin
time after time, led up by their officers
but repeatedly dashed back on one an
other until the whole field was covered
with confused mass of struggling run
ming, routed federals.''
