UNDESIRABLE RECRUITS.
Many Objectionable Persons Accepted
by the Officers.

Brig. Gen. Theodore J. Whit commanding
the Department of the Missouri at Omaha
Neb.. has made his annual report to the
military secretary. Among other things, II
shows that at some posts. particularly at
Fort Meade. considerable objection has been
made to the class OF horses furnished as
cavalry remounts in the past year. These
horses We're purchased on contract and a
considerable number of them have been re-
ported worthless for cavalry purposes
on account of conformation or bad temper
and but very few, If any of them. are worth
the prices paid. Ii better results in pur-
chasing horses by contract cannot be had
Gen. Wint recommends the adoption OF
some other system of purchase.
In regard to discipline Gen Whit says:
The discipline OF the command is gener-
ally satisfactory although the number of
assertions continue to be greater than can
be accounted for except by the enlistment
or many undesirable men who should not
have been accepted by recruiting officers
and | know of no means of reducing the
number unless II be a still closer investiga-
ton by recruiting officers of men who de-
sire to enlist making 1t more difficult for
men who have had former dishonorable
service, men of bad character and those
who are ntturallytIifi5ng and worthless. to
enter the service.
Another element that no doubt has to do
with the number of assertions is a feeling
by the public generally that desertion il not
a very serious offense. This sentiment Is
Indicated In petitions and by efforts made
10 have sentences for desertion reduced or.
RENTED. occasionally men desert who
have had former service with excellent or
good character, but almost without excep-
lion these are men who have become dissi-
pdted or acquired other bad habits In my
opinion. the great majority of deserters are
men who should not have been enlisted

BRIDGRPORT'S NEW DEPOT.
IRoNWORK NOW BENG PLACED
IN POSITION.

North Walls Two Stories Hish--Rapid
Progress Marks Work on Structure.
Work was started yesterday by Hor-
ton & HemmenWay, the contractors
for the railroad depot in Bridgeport,
upon the steel frame work for the sta
tion. The brick work has progressed
to a point, on the north half of the
building, which will permit of the steel
Orders being placed in position. The
north half Of the structure is now two
stories high and a glance at it shows
what handsome and commodious new
passenger station Bridgeport will be
using BY next spring.
The Bridgeport Standard says: The
thoroughness of the work still excites
comment. While force Of expert
brick layers are laying the buff brick
interior Of the structure another gang
of bricklayers is following them up on
the inside, using the common building
brick of good quality. On the south
side Of the north half of the structure
the glazed white brick passageway is
almost finished, for the time being, as
THE top of the subway will not be com
pleted for several months yet.
On Sunday, July 81, if the track work
is done by that time, the temporary
wooden trestle now being used to con-
meet the Berkshire tracks with those
of the main line elevation, will be re-
moved and the tracks connected per-
nnanently. This temporary trestle is
the stumbling block in the path Of the
railroad Improvement contractors and
as soon as it is out of the way the
work will go on even faster than it is
now.
North Of the new depot there'is lot
of hustling being done. The old round
house at the foot Of Gold street has
been razed and the work Of building.
the Adams Express company building
and the inclined driveway and walk to
the north end of the new station are
progressing favorably.

The excursion to Coney Island on
July II, under the auspices Of the West
Haven Hook and Ladder company, has
been cancelled. The committees action
was due to the effect upon the people
caused by the recent disaster to the
steamer Slocun.
The returns from the sale of tickets
before the accident were very satisfac-
tory, but since then have fallen off to
such degree that the action had to be
taken. Therefore, by an arrangement
with the company, the excursion has
been called off
The effect caused by the Slocum hor-
ror on the steamboat owners have been
most disastrous. One company reports
that out of sixty dates for the coming
season forty three have been cancelled,
and the remainder is likely to be.
Therefore, to protect themselves. they
have placed their boats at other bus
mess, and are abandoning the excur-
sion trade entirely.
Such was the case with the Hook
and Ladder company's trip. and at a
meeting to be held on Thursday an
outing of a different sort will be ar
ranged Cor.

source of much disappointment and
was taken to indicate that the specu-
lative party which took profits on so
large scale yesterday were still eager
TO realize on their holdings on all ad-
.vantageous opportunities. The room
traders later became suspicious that
the selling was designed to depress
prices in order that stocks sold at
profit yesterday might be re-bought at
lower level This suspicion was the
principal influence in the late rise
which embraced the market quite gem
orally. Confidence in the success of the
country's harvest was probably an i'm
portnant influence in the better tone Of
speculative sentiment. The weekly bull
lettn of the weather bureau to-day
aroused some apprehension in the grain
markets, owing to the damage to vim
ter wheat reported. Some rather alarm
ing private advices regarding crop
damage also had an effect Oh the wheat
market, but We're ignored in the stock
market. The strike of meat workers
but cannot be said to have aided the
rise in stocks. Some poor returns OF
railroad gross earnings for the first
week in July also made their appear
ance. The market closed active and
strong and with many net gains rang
ing from one to two points. Prices gem
orally crossed the high level Of last
week.

 In the latter city like general programme was carried out, the reception of "Rex," battles of confetti and serpentina, etc.
 With a slight change in details the carnival at Guaymas was very like the function at Hermosillo, and a complete description thereof would seem repetition. The closing ball in the patio of the municipal palace, Tuesday even- ing, was largely attended and very brilliant affair.

 "The place where my heart was
 You might easy roll turnip in
 As big as any paving stone
 From Dublin to the Devils Din"
 One very pleasing effect was a buggy trimmed in white, the flowers being white roses, in which were seated two very pretty Amer ican girls, visitors from Los An. geles, California.
 The battle of confsti and serpen- tina" was the decided feature ofthe parade. The occupants of h e various carriages and people along the pavements carried sacks and boxes filled with the confeti and great packages of serpentina. The first are little bits of colored paper, which they showered each other in passing with great handsful. The serpentina are long narrow slips of colored paper, forty feet or more in length, and about an eighth of an inch in width, wound in little flat rolls, each with loose end in the center. The thrower takes a roll between the thumb and finger, with the loose end tightly held. and launches it into the air or directly at another per son in another carriage or stand ing beside the street. Instantly the long, slender slip describing a graceful curve alights upon or is caught by the target, and a fragile bond momentarily unites them, to be quickly broken by the ever shifting movement. Shortly every carriage was profusely decorated with long. slender streamers of many colors, sinuously waving in the air as the vehicle gently rolled along the pavement, and carriages moving or standing abreast were connected with scores of these deli cate bonds. It was at such time that the "yellow dream" captured the heart of the scribe.
 And the air was filled with the flying confetti, so that it seemed as the long double line of carriages was making a progress through a binding storm of rose leaves or a variegated shower of petals from myriads of beautiful flowers, while the carriages and persons of their occupants were covered with the beautiful fall, and the streets lost their usual tawny color, covered by the tiny evidences of the storm that passed.
 Everybody entered into the spirit of the occasion with unre- strained joy n d hilarity, and through it all there was not single discourtesy nor one discor- dant action. The fun which be- gan at four o'clock, ran fast and furious until darkness closed in upon the hilarious participants.
 At evening there was a serenato (open air concert) given by the Twelfth Regiment band in the Plaza Raragasa, which was crowded with people until midnight, until which hour there ragged another battle of confetti d cdscarones (the latter are eggshells filled with confetti, which are broken up on the heads of the parties receiv- ing the delicate attention given). There the Nogales contingent came out strong, and had royal good time. It was t he ladies against the gentlemen, and when
