BEULAH BINFORD RECOVERING.
Probably Will Be Able to Attend
Opening of Beattie Trial Monday.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va. August f7.-Physicians
declare today that Beulah Binford is not
suffering from typhoid fever, though she
is still indisposed. The belief is that she
will be fully recovered and ready for the
trial next Monday, when Henry Clay
Beattie will be arraigned.
Beulah Binford will, according to re-
port which is believed here. repudiate her
former statements and testify with view
to saving the life of Henry Clay Beattie,
the man who is alleged to have killed
his wife in order that he might resume
his relations with the former. This would
support the states contention that such
was the motive for the crime.

A Marvellous Array.

Out of them comes the most marvellous

II all comes out in a jiffy and is dis

that most valuable officer, the quarter
master.
The men went into camp at Hyattstown
last night. with even greater ease than
at Derwood the first night out. The
horses are more used TO il, of course, and
took to the picket line's without a sec
ond look. 1t was a beautiful camp ground
that Lieut.. Wilson, quartermaster, had
picked out. 4 fine field, plenty of trees
and good water made the hearts of the
old soldiers glad.
There is plenty of work to do after
camp sites are reached, and most OF 1t
concerns the horses. No man Is allowed
10 take moments thought of his own
comfort until the horses are fed and
watered and groomed. The harness is
cleaned nightly aud hung in systematic
fashion upon the poles of gun carriages
and caissons. These are placed In a

piece to piece, and this picket line
the horses are tied for the night.
Benefit by Discipline.
The entire column of 13O men and 80
horses is under discipline which one
would not expect to see in a militia or
ganization. This. however. works out for
the comfort and health of the men and
animals: and the men know it.
Maj Charles Luce and mis- two ambu
lances have been in demand for small
ailments like stomachaches, headaches
and bruises. The most serious operation
has been the lancing OF a boil on Capt.

of mounted Signal Corps Company men
and the artilerymen of the 1st Field
Battery. \. G. d. G., arrived at their
two-week campground several hours be-
fore the time mapped out by schedule.
The streets of Frederick were lined
with interested people. who gave the
dusty column many a cheer as it trotted
through the main streets. The last day s
march has been in the nature of a tri-
umphal procession. as the local news
papers heralded the coming of the Dis
trict's troops. and every farmhouse on
the road sent out its entire family TO
greet the men.
The boys were awakened by reveille at

harnessed and the column was on the
pike not long afterward The horses and
