The consolidated quarterly return of
the First Infantry went forward to the
Adjutant General last night, the last of
the company returns having gone forward
previously. The return shows that the
regiment had strength on March 81 of
7O1 men and thirty-six officers, an aggre-
gate gain of 80 over the previous quar-
ter, accounted for principally by the ad-
mission of four new companies but near
ly all the companies show a healthy in
crease of strength Captains are carry
ing very few men who are unable or UNI
willing to do their full duty, and it is
doubted whether the regiment was ever
in as good shape as 1t is to-day. The fol-

color Changed.
Mr. c H. Medlock of the District Mes.
senger Service recovered a chainless Col
umbia wheel Yesterday which has been
missing several weeks. The wheel was
found at Thomas bicycle emporium,
Broughton and jefferson, in the posses
sion of colored employee of one of the
fertilizer factories.
The bicycle had been painted blue and
the work was so sorry that it attracted
the attention of every one who saw it
when the wheel was brought in. Thomas
suspected that something was wrong and
notified the authorities. The wheel had
been placed in the shop to be repaired and
the owner said that he would call for it
at Z O'Clock. At the appointed time the
co.ored man called for it. Detective Wall
was waiting for him and when he entered
the shop arrested him.

him that he had found it, and that if the

Detective Wall remembered that Mr..
TieJen had told him that he had found
a wheel and was ready to turn it over to
the owner. Mr.. Medlock had likewise no.
tilted the officers that his wheel was
missing, but from some cause he did not
recover it then. Mr.. Medlock says that he
was doing job of hauling for Mr.. Tfet-
ien at the time and told Mr.. Tietjen the
following morning that he had lost the
wheel Mr.. Tiejen said that he remem-
bered that Mr.. Medlock spoke of losing
wheel along about that time. He look

shown, the systematic appeals for money
which he says were made, and the final
utter WEAKNESS that possessed his soul,
after he had been ''mulcted'' in this wise
of some three thousand dollars.
Finally" runs the concluding para
graph of the answer, this defendant de-
clined to give any more aims or make
any more loans to the plaintiff. In no
case was there ever a suggestion by the
plaintiff that the money so perslstentiy
asked for and received was due MIN Tor
any reason whatever, but il was always
tearfully begged as aims or a loan. New
err has defendant received request for
the moneys now claimed by the plaintiff
to be due him; he knew nothing of the
alleged claim until he saw in the public
press that an attachment had been levied
against his property in Savannah, ana
he knew nothing whatever OF the details
of the wantonly false claim until the re-
CENT of the plaintiffs bill of particu-
lars. on March s, 1901. Defendant believes
this claim. known by the plaintiff to
contain not one truthful basis of support,
made against a man who in his charity
had for more than year given aims law
ishly to the plaintiff, because he was not
proof against fearful appeals, to be the
basest tnsratitude ever displayed by any
living creature, whether in human shape
or not. and the defendant has been the
recipient of more base ingratitude than
any man of whom he has ever heard"
The case was originally instituted IN
the City Court, but was transferred to the
United States Court upon the application
of the defendant. AS Carter is now
resident of Leavenworth, Kan, and the
amount in dispute is more than 5000. the
law gives him the privilege of removal.
The attachment was levied upon Carers
shares of stock in the Propeller Towboat
Company. The case will be called at the
next session of the Circuit Court, which,
it is expected. will be held here next
month
