Cobb paid a visit to camp. witnessing
with much interest the military ma
neuvers in the afternoon and presiding
at the headquarters mess in the even
ing, leaving camp at an early hour.
There were no special incidents in
camp Friday and the drills and general
features of camp life We're much the
same as on Thursday, save that the
Governor arrived at the camp with
out ceremony-still his reception was
none the less cordial. and there were a
large number of visitors in camp dur
ing the afternoon and evening, espe-
cialy in the evening. when the regi-
mental band rendered another con-
cert that proved to be very enjoyable.
Guard mount occurred at the usual
hour and many words of praise were
spoken by the staff officers for the lm-
usually efficient manner in which capt.
Elliott, who is diScharging his duties
as adJutant for the first time this year.
conducted the ceremony. The officer OF
the day was Capt. William {. Good
win of Co. X; the commander OF the
guard, 1st Lieut.. Ernest f. Kinsman of
Co. NJ; supernumerary commander of
the guard. I'd Lieut.. BARLEY a. Fla
herty of Co. E.
The remainder of the morning was
given over to battalion drill on an eX-
tended order and it was witnessed by
quite a number of spectators. Mess call
summoned the hungry soldiers to din
ner at noon and there was lay-off
from that time until 8 o'clock.
At 2 o'clock an officers school was
+ cid at the regimental headquarters
| with Col Kendall presiding officer and
| at 9 o'clock a somewhat elaborate
| round of field duty fell to the lot Of the
| regiment.
The camp is a very healthy one. ac-
coriing to Major Bradbury of the med
| ical corps and never before in the his
tory of a state muster has there been
so few really serious cases demanding
attention at the hospital. One reason
| for this happy state of affairs is tha'
the weather has been fine, and the stay
of the men in camp is of short duration
| 1t is true that many have received at
tention at the field hospital for affec'
tions incidental to long march. sucf
as bruised and blistered feet and sun
burn. but other than this the camps
health is of the very best. 1t is tht
good health of the men that enable:
them to enter into the spirit of the
drills and practice marches with vim
and enthusiasm which constitutes the
greater part of good soldiery.
At 9 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, ane
continuing until 4.30 O'Clock the regi
l mont participated in an attack The
firing line was composed of the battal
ion under command Of Major Peter
son, and the other two battalions par
ticipating in the maneuvers which were
witnessed by Gen. Farnham and th'
brigade staff, and quite a number o
civilian spectators. The attack wa
made on the, ridge of the music

was sufficient to display the militar!
skill and efficiency of the men, traine'

CHAIN Of prayer.
Bishop Lawrence Repu-
dates the Scheme.
Started by irresponsible or Mis-
chievous Person, He Says.
Despite Widespread Exposure the Chain Has
Reached Many Far-aWay Sections.

Boston, Aug. 1870 much annoyance
has been caused to Rt. Rev. VIM.
Lawrence, Episcopal bishop of Massa-
chusetts, by the flood of letters which
has been pouring in for several months
regarding the so-called endless chain
of prayer" which was alleged to have
been started by him, that the bishop
has found it necessary to issue the fol-
lowing denial that he is connected with
the matter: 1.-The endless chain OF
pr prayer, said to have been written
by Bishop Lawrence, is 4 hoax. Eish-
op Lawrence Of Massachusetts never
wrote it and knows nothing about it. 1t
is the work of some demented or mis-
chievous person"
The endless chain movement evil
IDENTIFY was started last May, when sew
eral persons in different parts Of the
country received the following commu-
nication:
Endless prayer chain-'O Lord Je-
sus Christ, we implOre Thee, O eternal
God. to have mercy on all mankind.
Keep US from all sin by Thy precious
blood and take us to be with Thee eter-
nally. Amen This prayer was sent by
Bishop Lawrence recommending it to
be sent to nine persons. He who will
send it will be afflicted with some mis-
fortune One person who paid no atten-
tiCn met with a dreadful accident. He
who will write this prayer for nine
days and distribute it to nine other
persons commencing on the day it Is
received and sending only one day,

Gov. Cobb arrived in camp shortly
after o'clock Friday afternoon and
witnessed the close of the field maneu-
Vres.
The field mancuvres were under the
supervision of Capt. Wilmot Ellis. the
regular army expert assigned To the
National Guard of Maine. and Co. Ken
dali, commander of the regiment. eX
pressed himself rs being well salts
fled with the ability and skill exhibited
by the men in the field. The tactics
tend to show that the men would pre-
serve judgment and fruits of training
while actually making an attack in
time of war or other disturbance and
it must be said to the credit of the
whole rank and file, that for men who
have 50 little real field practice as the
National Guard of this State, the work
Friday afternoon was especially COM
mendable, and Capt. Ellis. whose own
standard of excellence must conform
with the regulation and methods of tho
regular army of the United States
undoubtedly the best managed and
equipped of all the great powers, stated
at the close of the mimic attack that
he WIS gratiiied at the efficiency at
tained by the regiment, and he also
commended in highest terms the enthu-
siasm and studied effort of the enlist
ed men.
The dress parade was held in the ear
ly evening as usual, and quite a large
crowd of spectators were present when
the sunset gun was fired and the ma
tional colOrs lowered.
A band concert was given by the
regmental band in the early evening
and as usual. it was greatly enjoyed.
The evening became quite cool after
sundown and there were few visitors
| in camp.
An election was held at s o'clock in
| the evening at regimental headquar-

ment participated. TIL following result

and friends, who accused him of a
share in the downfall of the bank, it
is believed, drove Kowalski to suicide.
The acme of his trouble was reached
last night, when a woman ne mad
known for years, accosted him on the
street and accused him of being re-
sponsible for the failure OF the bank.
Speaking of the incident, later in the
evening, kowalski complained bitterly
of the suspicious Of his friends and de-

Kowalski's relatives assert their firm
belief that he was innocent of any

the bank by President Stensland. When
the bank failed Kowalski had $500 of
his own money on deposit in the insti-
