The indoor exercises were regularly
planned and executed, ON the part or u
troop by Capt. West. assisted by Licnten-
ants Gallagher and Stout. This troop gave
all of the exercises and maD.uycrs usually
executed bareback as prescribed III United
States cavalry tactics. The men jumped
and mounted extremely well in every in
stance. and the horses showed their splen-
did training In a way that did credit TO
the troop and lis commander.
The feature of the drill was he splendid
work done by Troop A, Lieut.. Short com
maDding. In the troop were tweniy-eirht
men mounted upon sleek and well groomcd
chargers. The discipline of both man and
beast was perfect. When the lieutenant
entered the hail the applause was long and
loud. Each trooper, instead of being seated.
was standing upon the saddle with the
ease and grace au ordinary rider would
have dispia yci while riding IN the coDvcn-
tional style.

his BRAINS BEATEN OUT.
Capt. Camp Beaten TO Death With "a
Sledge Hammer.
Especial to The Times.


Elkton Nd. Jan. 3.-The quiet little town
OF Chesapeake city, six miles south of Elk
ton in the Second election district, is deeply
stirred over an atrocious murder committed
near the dry dock of Diebert & Bros, ut the
mouth of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal on Back Creek.
The victim is Captain Thomas Camp. of
the vessel Manaway.
This afternoon Walter Diebert. boy OF
five years old, waised along the bank of
Dry Creek and seeing the body of 4 man
lying close to the shore in about two feet
of water he called the attention OF his
mother who was with him, to it. and they
gave the alarm. The body was brought TO
the shore. and proved to be that of Cap
tain Camp.
Captain Camp was last seen alive last
evening about O'Clock. Near the boat on
the shore was found large pool of blood
where the mans head had been crushed by
a large sIedge-hammer. he having been hit
several times with it. Upon investigation
the hammer was found, and identified as
belonging to the dry dock company. the
work house having been broken into and
the hammer scared.
The object of the murder is supposed TO
have been robbery, as the captains pocket
book was found near the pool OF blood. but
was empty. His watch had not been
taken and had stopped at two minutes of 2
O'Clock.
