A week or so ago a pole nearly 60
feet high was planted in the park at
Belmont, and cold Glory" floats from
it proudly on clear days. Belmont by
the way, since its trimming up and re-
moval of many of the lower branches
of trees that Obstructed the vision, is
most attractive in its summer attire,
and a suburban pride of the town, as it
always has been.
Sunday was fair day, the finest
since the establishment of the soldiers
camp at Middletown, and besides the
large number of carriages, number
visited the place on their bicycles.
Some of them that passed through
this town were all the way from Dover
male and female. One of the riders
who stopped below the town to fix the
wheel was asked if he was not tired: he
replied no, but he was hungry, not
having anything to eat since his break
fast in the morning. The impression
given was that MiddletOwn had been
pretty well eaten out, and partook of
the Sunday habits of Spanish town,
rather than the quiet demeanOr that is
the wont of its citizens.
Sunday had all the appearance of
midsummer in the way of carriage
travel The larger part of it was to
Camp Tunnel, at Middletown, to see
the regiment of soldiers that will rep
resent our State. The number of
teams that passed up and down the
State road seemed to run up into the
hundreds. The early morning in this
town was astir with vehicles and peO-
Pile bent for the soldiers camp. With
a large number of people, it makes no
difference in these long Sunday rides,
whether it is a religious campmeeting
or a camp of sOldiers-it is to be where
the biggest crowd is, and enjoy in an
outside way the utmost of its freedom.
Many of the teams that passed through
| the town were from some miles below,
and this community was a sample of
the many others within days travel
of MiddletOwn.
Contingent upon charge bro ught
by Rachel Robinson against her hus-
band, David Robinson for knocking
her down and kicking her last Monday
week, and to which the latter was
found guilty, fined with costs $4 80,
and held in peace bond of $50, another
case grew out and was disposed off by
Magistrate Cooper on Monday evening.
Last Saturday evening, Richard and
George, sons of Mrs. Robinson,
took up the offence of theil
mother and about eleven o'clock
took up search for the cold man
to give him thrashing. The assault
took place on Main street in the vicin-
ity of the "FOur Corners" while PO-
liceman Garner was making his beat
in another part of the town. On Mon
day, Dave Robinson, the step-father
resented the act by bringing a charge
of assault and battery, with threats
and breach of the peace, against Rich.
ard and George Evans. The latel
were arrested by Constable Pratt ant
arraigned before Magistrate Cooper
They were each held in $50 peace
bond; Richard was fined with costs
$3.50; George, who took very small
part in the affair got off without an,
fines. When such had been paid the,
were both released.

New York, Sept. 13.-Hubbard Bros. &

ment continues light, except in Texas and
Liverpool is unwilling TO buy except in
that state, fearing that the early receipts
viii be wet and undesirable. Traders have
covered and are afraid to be short, on ac-
count of the small stock here, and the
light receipts at the Atlantic ports, from
whence the stock is drawn. There is no
indication of any cotton coming here Tor
delivery on contract as yet. If any thing,
the trade is not quite so bear.sh, but there
is absolutely no outside business under
way"

Washington Dispatch in N. Y. Herald
AS a result of hurricane which struck
Port Royal, S. c., on Aug. 30. the dry
dock at that point has been very badly
damaged and considerable injury has been
done to some of the buildings of the naval
station.
A mail report of the injury sustained
by the station has been received by the
navy department from Commander c. II.
Rockwell, its commandant, who was una
bic TO telegraph the facts, because all
wires were blown down.
Ten and a half inches Of water fell dur
ing the twenty-four hours of the storm.
and the wind was a hurricane. Com
mander Rockwell expressed the opinion
that it would be injudicious to try 10 use
the dock for docking a ship until the fun
extent of the damage is known. Some of
the affairs are pried out of position.

Camp Wikoff, Sept 11.-Under peremp-
tory orders from Gen. Miles preparations
are being made TO break up this camp at
once by sending home all the soldiers here.
This Is entirely contrary TO what has been
the understanding OF the officers in com
mand. Gen. shafter said last week that
6OOO or 1000 men would be kept here. at
least until October, and this was supposed
to have been the order of Secretary Aiger
An officer said to-day that when Gen.
Miles order came telegram was sent
him saying that his order was contrary to
that OF Secretary Alger, and Miles replied:
Never mind what Aiger says; am in
command now"
That, of course. settled it so far as the
officers here are concerned, and, unless
Gen. Miles orders are countermanded next
week win see the practical end of Camp
W-kon.
Gen Bates said to-day: MY orders are
to send the troops away as fast as trans
portation can be arranged"
When asked IL these orders did not con-
1ict with those of Secretary Alger, he sim
ply said, They are new ORDERS"

New York, Sept. 13.-The market started

Prices In the railroad list advanced al
most without exception under the stimu-
lus of higher prices for Americans in Lon
don and a sharp demand for Peoples Gas
on reports that -the dispute with the In
diana Gas Company has been adjusted.
Severe depression in some of the special
ties checked the upward movement.
The bears sold the list freely and their
confidence was justified by the renewal of
liquidation, induced by the decline Of
prices. There was stubborn resistance to
the decline in some of the railroad stocks,
but prices generally fell below yesterday

sharp declines were shown by quite num-
