1t has now been definitely settled that
| the full First Division will be moved
from present quarters at Camp Alges.
| and stationed near Dunn Loring. The
reasons for this change are many. 1t
has been decided that the present loca-
tion is unhealthy. A portion of the ground
is low and swampy. and little pools OF
stagnant water have formed in many
places. ;Jc@
Col Girard has also decided that as all
the water for this division comes from
the one watershed, what will poilute one
well will pollute the whole. and possible
clew to the spread Of the typhoid fever Is
arrived at through this process of reason
ing.
The new quarters at the Chittenden
farm are about half way between the
present camp and Dunn Loring, and are
remarkably well situated. Water Is good
and plentiful and II is expected that with
the change the complaints now SO COM
mon among the troops will disappear.
Three deaths from typhoid occurred
yesterday at Fort Myer. The two last to
die were Private jeremiah Murphy, Com
pany A, First New Jersey. and Private
Robert Jamison, Company A, Twelfth
Pennsylvania. Murphy's body has been
forwarded to his late home in Newark.
N. ].
Col. Girard is trying to prevail upon
the War Department to allow the intro
ducttOn of wooden floors for the tents
occupied by the troops. Many of the
officers now have these floors bn their
tents and they are OF great benefit in
keeping the place dry and clean. The
cost of the floors for each tent would
be great andsit is doubtful If they will
be placed here for the short time during
which the troops expect to remain here.
Major Brown. U. s. A. has been ap-
pointed inspecting officer of the Second

Another Americani.m.
From the London Truth.)


"Don't swear; fght!'' The. phrase has the ring
of sound metal. The American army of invasion
advancing upon Santiago de Cuba was pre- tcedsd
by a body Of rough riders. Suddenly the Span
iards who were lying in ambush, fired deadly
yolley and the startled rough riders replied with
an outburst Of curses. Don't swear; fght! call
ed Col Wood The phrase will live. America is
a big country; it is destined to become a great
country for there is manliness and vigor in the
memorable phrases coined by celebrated Ameri-
cans 1t was Stephen Decatur who originated tn.
toast "Our Country. Right or Wrong. Henry
CLAY said, .'Sir, would prefer TO be right than
to be President" The last words Of Nathan Hale
were, Il only regret that ! have but one life to
phrase, 81 prefer the honestly simple to the in
eeniou.ly wicked And itfiwas Henry Ward
Beecher who uttered the words ''The mothers
heart is the child's schoolIoam." When nations
become artiAciaiiy refined the phrases which their
great men coin arc generally either cynical or
hippant Thus, to Talleyrsnd is attributed the
phrase, "Mistrust first impressore, they are al
ways good'' Voltaire Declared that ideas are
like boards; children and EOmey never have
them" To which might be added, except when
they are nnonstrosities.'' Antoine Rivsrole said.

HORTON P[EADsNOTGU|[TY.
The Slayer Of Annie Nicholson
Is Arraigned Today.
he SHEDS TEARS IN COURT
At the Mention of the Name of the
Woman He Killed the Prisoner
Wecps and Turns His Face From
the Judge-Says He Was Not to
blame.

George W. Horton, the ex-policeman
who killed Mrs. Annie Nicholson in Ar
mory Square, was arraigned in the Grim
inal Court this morning before Chief JUS
tice Bingham on the charge of murder.
He was brought into court by Deputy
United States Marshal Cusick, and while
listening to the reading CT the indictment
exhibited intense nervousness.
When the name of the woman whom he
killed was spoken he turned his back to
the court and burst into tears. He was
ordered to face the judge by Deputy Gu
sick, but he said he could not, and then
the marshal was compelled to use force.
When the reading Of the Indictment was
concluded. and Mr.. Galley, clerk of the
court, asked the prisoner to answer
guilty or not guilty" Horton muttered
inaudibly.
When called upon again to plead Hor-
ton said he was in sense guilty, but
that he was not TO blame. On being
forced to answer directly, he said he
was not guilty.
Judge Bingham asked the prisoner If
he had counsel and Horton answered no.
but said that he believed his friends
would employ an attorney to defend him.

With Its Showing.

vfce-Reason Why the War Hal
loon Was Not Effective at Santf-
aso-A Mistake Was Made.


Gen. Greely. who has just returned
from an inspection of the Signal Corps at
Chickamauga and the various Southern
camps, said today that me men are pre-
pared for action.
While the service is not perfect, Gen.
Greely said the corps was in better con-
ditfon than he had expected.
+ The balloon service lacks several tubes
needed for the compression of hydrogen
gas. They are now being secured in
Europe.
The riddling OF the balloon sent up by
the army at Santiago. Gen. Greedy said.
did not lessen in the least his estimate Of
the value of that means of observation.
The mistake in that case, he added, was
that the balloon was sent up from the
skirmish lines. The best service Is OBJ
tanned when the balloons are sent up
little further from the firing line and out
of reach of shots.
