turned TO the generals headquarters to
partake of a collation..
All Of the distinguished visitors. with
the exception OF Colonel Biddle. re-
turned to Washington on a special train
which left Leesburg at 9 o'clock this
evening. Colonel Biddle will remain IN

umpire at the field maneuvers in which
the men participate.
No More Dress Parade.
The boys have now been here long
enough to get a real taste of field work
and have enjoyed themselves immense
~, besides pleasing the general by their
good and efficient work. Leesburg pre-
sents a wartime aspect now, and the
residents of the little town enjoy hav-
ing the Guardsmen down here to enliven
the place and spend a little United
States currency. which they might have
spent somewhere else had the medical
men not made an adverse report on the
water at Marshall Hall.
Although this is the fourth time the
National Guard of the District of Co
iumbia has visited Leesburg, the boys
do not seem TO get tired of the place
and have always made themselves at
home here. and made It ten days of
pleasure as well as work.
The announcement by General Harries
that dress parade would be done away
with came somewhat suddenly to the
men, and it seemed hard to them to drill
In regimental form for two hours in the
morning and thirty-five minutes in the
evening. The evening drill is of the
same duration as a dress parade. and
the general says the men learn more in
these thirty-hve minutes of drill than
they do at dress parade.

Much interest has been manifested IN
the coming field maneuvers, and the
Gua-dsmen are very eager 70 learn when.

and how long 1t is going to last. They
will probably know about five minutes
before it happens, because General Har-

lightful uncertainties. The Signal Corps
will doubtless figure eonspicuously in
the maneuvers. Lieutenant Niemeyer

HUNT BROTHERS.
SCOTLAND LASSTE
HERE AND MARRIED.

Some four years ago James Saunders
left his home in Scotland and came to
America. Here he has been working
as machinist. He came to Bridge
ton about a year ago and since then
has been employed at the Ferracute.
When he came from Scotland he left
his sweetheart at home. Absence
makes the heart grow fonder and at
last the couple yielded to Cupid q
command and Saturday Mr.. Saunders
went to Philadelphia to await the ar
rival of the steamer from Scotland.
Sunday the boat arrived in port and
Miss Isabelle Williamson, of Kilmar-
mock. Scotland, landed in America.
Mr.. Saunders met her at the wharf
and they came to Bridgeton Sunday
evening. Monday was spent in
making preparations for the wedding
and in the evening the couple, accom-
panied by Mr.. and EIrs. Thomas Mer-
Ger drove to the First NJ P. parsonage
and were married by Rev. L. D.
Stultz. They were then driven to the
home of Thomas Mercer on Church
street where a reception was given
them. During the evening Miss Alma
Baker rendered some very pretty vocal
and piano solos. Caterer Edgar Riley
served the wedding supper late in the
evening. Among those present were
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Grossoup and son
Clyde. Miss Alma Baker, Frank Wal
lace, Mrs. Harry Hustled. Harry Mer-
Ger and others. The couple will take
up their residence on Eassssavenue.

Pushing the Railroads Hard.

Swedesboro, N. j., July 24.-"More
freight cars" is the cry heard along
the railroad. Buyers of produce are
here from Boston. New York, Newark
and Jersey City, and at times there is
lively competition, with the farmer
at the better end Of it. Potatoes and
tomatoes jump in price according to
the demand. The freights run heavy.
the hands have about all they care to
do, and etxra trains are frequently
necessary.
Similar reports come from other
roads, besides the many boats running
night and day. When canteloupes and
sweet potatoes come on there is fear
that there will be great shortage in
transportation facilities, and in this
case the farmers will haul to Phila-
delphia, going by way of Paulsboro
and then Lincoln Park ferries.
