TROOP r.
Captain Dodd VIII Begin His March to
Bangor This Morning.

Captain Dodd intends that Troop T
shall begin its march for Bangor
| this morning. The reveille will pro-
badly be blown at 5 O'Clock, and the
chances are that the troop will be through
| Portland in the early morning. Captain
| Dodd has march of about $50 miles be-
| fore him, and he will want to reach Ban
gor by. the next Monday. His route will
be through Yarmouth, Brunswick, Rich
mond, Augusta, Waterville, Benton, Gin
ton and SO on to Bangor. This will take
him up the beautiful valley of the Ken
nebec river, one of the loveliest portions
of the State.
Captain Dodd said Saturday that he
could not tell by what route he should
make his return march, after leaving
Bangor.
Sunday Troop F's camp was visited by
many people from Portland, who have
become greatly interested in the gallant
cavalrymen during their stay in this vi
cinity. This morning the troop begins
its long march to Bangor over the hills
and rough roads of Maine and the troop
ers .apassed.a greater partsof Sunday in
camp storing up energy for the long and
fatlguing ride. The troop expects to get
under way about quarter past six O'Clock
this morning, and those Portland people
who are out of bed very early this morn
ing may have an opportunity of seeing
how the hardy cavalrymen look when
tho If ha -,
good condition and ready for the work
which1is before them, with the exception
of Trooper Delano, who had his shoulder
dislocated during the drill on Thursday
last. Delano is doing well, but his in
jury is still painful and he will probably
riding in the ambulance.
Captain Dodd intends to make short
marches during the first two or three
days or until the horses and men become
seasoned to the work which is before
them. The camp tonight will probably
be made somewhere between Yarmouth
and Freeport. The command will probab-
ly get into camp by noon and pass the
rest of the day in resting. Tuesday they
will make little longer march and 90
on to the end. Captain Oodd does not
intend to give any exhibition drills on
the road, excepting at the National Mill
tary Home at Togus. There the troop
will delight the hearts of the old soldiers
by showing them what the cavalrymen of
today can do. Troop f, its officers and
men leave many firm friends behind them
in Portland, and on all sides are to be
heard expressions of regret that such a
fine body of men cannot remain with us
always.

Friday, the Goth inst. During her long
sickness she bore her sufferings with gen.
tie patience and fortitude, and always

iieve she would soon recover. In spite of
the tenderest care and all that loving
hearts could do, she gradually failed, pas
sing away in the presence of her family.
Mrs. Elder was the daughter of the late
Ellery III. Starbird, the noted temperance

Providence, August 21.-A prize fight
for 500 side took place at an early hour
this mo rning near Narragansett Pier, be-
tween Frank Brennan of Brooklyn and
George Barr of Providence. The contest
YVES to come off at the Tally Ho club at
the Pier last night, but the police inter
ferred. Then the sports went out of town
and fought on the green near the moon
lit sea.
A 4-foot ring was set up and about 80
spectators We're present. There were
wealthy swells from the hotels, coachmen
in their livery and business men from the
Pier at the ringside. Brennan was the
first in the ring, and he had Gleinster and
Collier for seconds. Barr was attended by
Clayton and Dobbs. Barr was about 10
pounds the lighter.
During the first three rounds Brennan
had the best of the mill, but Barr mixed
things up with him for the next five
rounds. Up to the 18th round both men
fought shy and remained fresh Barr
finally got in a right and received in re-
turn r1ght-hander from Brennan, which
sent him of his feet and left him groggy.
Attic opening of the 14th round both
fighters SPARED for wind. Brennan led
off in good style and Barr countsred, but
a killing right-hander in the stomach sent
Barr into the ropes. An upper cut by
Brennan then ended the fight, for Barr

recover unless unlocked for complications

MRS. HUMPEL's CHARGE.
Says Her Husband was Beaten to Death
ut the Insane Asylum.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-According to Mrs.
Louise Humpel, her husbands dead
body, which was among five corpses
stolen from the county morgue at
Cunning few nights ago, was taken
to conceal crime. She declares it as
her belief that he died the same way
as other unfortunates in the county in
sane asylum who, it is charged, have
been mauled to death by attendants.
Her husband was a robust man, with
no sign of consumption. She says she
saw him Saturday afternoon, and he
was bruised and cut. An attendant
would not let her see his face.
In his mutterings he told her he had
been attacked and beaten, she claims.
Sunday Mrs. Humpel mot HumpfeD
was notified of her husbands death.
A post mortem was decided upon, but
Sunday night four bodies, among them
her husbands, was stolen from the
morgue.
The widow declares the others were
taken as blind, to divert suspicion
from the real criminals and fasten it
upon some ghouls in the business of
supplying bodies to medical institu-
tions. A lawyer engaged by Mrs.
Humpel Saturday to protect her hus-
band from abuse was ordered out of
the building when he tried to inter
view the attendants. A thorough in
vestigation is in progress.
