election of Grover Cleveland, he then re-
moved TO this city, where he resided for
ten years.
He was assistant attorney general under
the Murray law in Sedgwick county for
two years, in which capacity he proved
as earnest a prosecutor as while he was
serving the government as United States
attorney.
He was once elected by the people for
ngressman-at-large from the state Of
Kansas, when it was thought that the
population would justify the admission of
an additional congressman, but the house
being Democratic, they refused to admit
him.
He was an affable, genial, companion
able man; considered a first-class lawyer
a good talker and was one of the best
political stump speakers ever in the state,
being very popular with the masses. Col
onel Halloweu first formed a law part
nership in this city with Mr.. John Hume,
the title of the firm being Hallowell &
Hume. Later Mr.. II L. Gordon was ad-
mitted to the firm. Mr. Hume withdrew
and il became known as Halloweu &
Gordon. Later Colonel Halloweu severed
his connection with Mr.. Gordon and he
and his son formed partnership. the firm
being Hallowell & Halowen. In June,
1890, he was nominated by the Republi-
cans of the Seventh district for congress
by them assembled at Dodge City. Jerry
Simpson defeated him, It being a land

GRAND SUCCESS
aIAsONIC HOME SOCIAL
Large Crowds Enjoyed the Evening
Across the River.

Last night the Masonic Home social
took place on the home grounds, and was
a grand success from every point of view.
Long before darkness fell the crowds be-
gan to cross the river and little later a
continuous stream of bugges, bicyclists
and pedestrians could be seen the entire
route. To those who went, and there
was thousands who did, the visit was
well repaid. The spacious grounds were
thrown open and a spirit of welcome per
vaded the air After following the wind
ing walks and drives to the large grove
at the rear. a scene of beauty beyond de-
scriptOn greeted the eye. From swing
ing boughs were suspended numerous
colored lanterns and national flags. max
ing it appear a veritable fairy land. Be-
meath the trees were placed small tables,
and beautiful maidens served cooling re-
freshments to the patronzing public. At
other places were booths where punch
and lemonade were dispensed. Another
feature was the bicycle check stand,
which was a great accommodation TO the
wheel riders. During the entire evening
the Citizens band was stationed in the
grove and discoursed sweet music that
brought forth tumultuous applause from
thel listeners.
The occasion Of the social was St.
Johns Day, and the Order OF the East
ern Star observe this day all over the
country as one on which some enter
tainment is given for the benefit of sick
and aged Masons and their families. All
the orders in this state send in the pro-

OLDEST LIVING VETERAN.
James Walsh, Living Near Frost
burg, Claims the Distinction.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
CUMBERLAND, Nd, August 2.-Just a
week ago today, July 25, James Walsh, re-
siding near Frostburg, this county, on the
road leading to Mt Savage, celebrated the
one hundred and third anniversary of his
birthday.
1t is confidently asserted that Mr.. Walsh
is the oldest living veteran of the late war.
He served three years and three months on
the Union side. despite the fact that he
was then an old man.
Old Baltimore and Ohio camelback en-
gine No. 92, which was connected with one
of the most interesting bits of civil war
history, has been consigned to the scrap
pile at Parkersburg, w. Va. At one time
during that stormy period there was an
urgent need of locomotives on railroads in
the contending confederate states. Thorn
as R. Sharp undertook to supply this want
and several locomotives, among them No.
90, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near
Martinsburg, w. Va, were seized and haul
ed across the country by horse and OK pow
er to Staunton, Va, where they were put
into service.

A Modern Structure to Take the
Place of IN Old-Time Residence.
The tenants In the building 1881 F street
have moved, and today the place Is de-
serted and the front doors closed. 1t has
been one of the busy Office buildings on T
street. and the change occasioned consid-
cradle inquiry today. 1t was learned. how
ever. that the owners have made an agree-
ment to sell the property, and one of the
conditions exacted by the purchaser was
that 1t should be turned over to him at the
beginning Of the month empty.
1t is understood that the new owner is a
New Yorker. and it is his Intention to tear
down the present building and erect on the
site new four-story office structure The
property belonged to the estate of the late
DR.. Miller, but for the past fifteen years
has been under lease to the Riggs Fire In
surance Company. About two years ago
the company moved into the new building
which 1t had just erected on 14th street
above q street, and since that time the
Miller building has been sublet. The lease
however, has just expired, and now the
property has been sold and a modern
structure will be erected in its place

Section From This District to Marl-
bOrO' Practically Completed.
The work on the Chesapeake Beach rail-
road is being rapidly pushed forward. AL
ready the road is in operation from Dean
wood to Marlboro, distance of about
twelve miles, and within a few weeks the
line will be extended through the farms of
Judge George Wilson and DR.. NJ. D. Hume
thereby bringing it to it's terminus. AZ
official inspection of the road took place
last Saturday. The party consisted of
Theodore J. King, Nathaniel Wilson, j.
Weaver, T. ]. Lockhardt Otto Mears, John
l.. Neal and John Murdoch. The run was
nade on the construction train, and the
journey from Marlboro to Washington was
covered in thirty-two minutes.
The members of the inspection party ex-
pressed themselves as being highly pleased
with the work.
Pending the building of the eastern ex-
tension of the Columbia railroad to connect
with this line, there is some talk of a plan
by which a connection will be made at
Deenwood over the Alexandria branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Hyatts-
vile. and thence into Washington over the
Washington braI ch of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
The new road when completed will open
up country that is now almost entirely
destitute of railroad facilities. In order to
reach Marlboro, the county seat of Prince
Georges county, residents along the line
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad are now
Obliged first to come to this city. 1t is
then necessary to take the Pennsylvania
railroad as far as Bowie, and to change
there to Pope's Creek line. The journey
cannot be made in less than a day, and a
trip to New York city is far less tiresome.
The terminus of the new road will be at
Chesapeake Beach.

No river boats had arrived at Dawson
from st. Michaels for some time, and the
people were becoming apprehensive that
lower river navigation was about over for
the season. The situation of the idle men,
OF which there are great number at Daw
son, is becoming a matter of serious i'm
port. Some have about exhausted the small
store of such supplies as they took in and
are unable to do any prospecting. A great
exodus of this class will soon begin.
SAN FRANCISCO, August "A special
to the Examiner from Dawson of July II
says:
within the last twelve months the Can
adian government has taken from the Yu-
kon miners more than 81, 800, 600. The cost
of maintaining, the mounted police in Daw-
son and the salaries of the district officials
have been reported to the Canadian parlia-
ment to be in the neighborhood of 100000,
leaving a net annual gain to the govern
ment of ever s2,000,000. The largest indi-
vidual amount that goes to make up this
total is the royalty, which has been con-
servatively estimated to be $SO0,000.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, August q
Letters received here state that many pros
pectors between Copper river and Cooks

upon them to make such request. 1t was
because of this apparent practically unan-
imous desire for the reappointment of the
board that the Commissioners took the ac-
ton they did. said Mr.. Wight, and there
fore those very competent and excellent
men who had applied for appointment
were in nowise reflected upon by the step
what in their humble opinion was best for
the whole people of the District.
Appointees WeIl-Known.
The men reappointed today are too well
known to heed any extended Introduction
to the people of the District. All three
have long been citizens of the District. and
all have been engaged in business here for
many years. Mr. Bates the chairman of
the board when 1t sits as a board of as
SCISSORS. is the republican member, and re-
sides in lexington. Mr.. Johnson, who Is
the chairman when the board sits as the
excise board, and who resides in South
Washington, and Mr.. MorselI are members
of the democratic party, the former being a
silver man, while Mr.. Morsell is said to be
a gold democrat. Mr.. Morsell is resident
Of the northwest section.
The board, sitting as assessors Is charged
with the duty of making a general assess
ment of real property in the District every
three years, and the board is at present en-
gagged in making its second triennial as
sessment, having nearly completed the
southeast section and having only the
county and the Georgetown district to COM
plete. Sitting as an excise board, it dis
poses of applications for liquor licenses.
The news of the reappointment Of the

at the District building among the employees

Col. Culver Takes Action Against His
NOn-CommixsfOned Omcers

NOn-COmmissiOned Officers.
CHICKAMAUGA CHATTANOOGA Ma
1TONAL MILITARY PARK, Tenn. August
2.-The two main subjects of interest at
Camp Thomas at present are the expected
arrival of the paymasters tomorrow and
the expedition which, it is reported, is be-
ing arranged In Washington for Maj Gen.
Wade.
The pay rolls of all the regiments are
now complete. and there will be little delay
in making the payments. The total to be
paid will be near 81, 100000.
Nothing has yet been heard from Wash
ington in regard to Gen. Wade's expedition.
The impression prevails that Gen. Wade
will take with him the regiments best fit
ted no matter to what corps or divisions
they may belong, and every regiment Is
now attempting to impress it's fitness and
its right to be included In the expedition.
Gen. Breckenridge, the new commander of
Camp Thomas, is expected to arrive tonight
and take charge tomorrow.
Brig. Gen. Franks assuming command
temporarily, did not neceSsitate his giving
up his division for any time. and he will be
in command at both corps and division
headquarters until Gen. Breckenridge ar
rives to ralieve him.
Recently the boys of the 5th Illinois had
their fun, and now Col. Culver will have
his inning. He has announced that every
non-commiSsioned officer who took part in
the demonstration last week after the regi-
ment was recalled will be reduced to ranks.
This work is to be commenced at once. and
rev men appointed in their places. Col.
Culver says his regiment has had a good
reputation for years, and he intends to sus-
tain it. He added: 81 have ordered all of
these non-commissioned officers reduced
that is, those who were absent without
leave. I judge there were about a dozen of
them. The other men who are guilty of
being absent without leave will be fined by

Preparing for the Expected Contest
at the Next Annual Election.

An active canvass is in progress among
the stockholders of the United States Elec-
trio Light Company for the purpose of Sc
curing proxies to be used in the annual
election of the company. which will be held
next November 1t may seem that those
interested are making a rather early start
in the preparations for the annual election
but as there is a contest in progress it is
the Intention of one side not to allow the
other side to get ahead of them and bag
all the votes.
1t is claimed that the opposition to the
present management is reaching such pro-
portions that IL has now a majority. On
the other hand, this is denied, and II Is as
serted that the gossip is based much On
the revival of the hostility which has been
manifested in a variety OF ways for sew
eral years past. 1t is believed by some
that the present management will try TO
gather in all the votes possible, and now
those who wish a change have decided 10
take the field early and enlist the oo-opera-
ton of the stockholders before they are
CT ccmmitted to the policy of retaining in
office those at present in control.
According to the current gossip two
names are mentioned prominently in con-
nection with the presidency of the company
in the event Mr.. Thomas is retired. One is
Mr.. James L. Norris and the other Is Mr..
Charles c. Duncanson.
