Newspaper Page Text2 WOUND UP IN A BATTLE CLOSE OF THE FIRST WEEK OF THE ENCAMPMENT. Capt. RofT Sims and Capt. Brooks In Command of the skirmish Lines— Col. Reilly Complimented by the Army Officers for the Way In Which He Handled His Men. Chickamauoa, Ga., June 22.—A sham battle, almost faultlessly executed, closed the first week of the state encampment. It was grand, and hundreds of enthusiastic people shouted themselves hoarse at the maneuvers of the men. Cheer after cheer went up as the companies came upon the field, and the applause was kept up until the firing, which re-echoed through Chick amauga’s ridges, recalling to the old vet- eraus the days of ’63, swallowed it up. The Savannah Cadete came upon the field first with the Southern Cadets of Macon. Capt. Roff Sims commanded the right lice of the skirmishers, while Capt. Brooks com manded the left line of the skirmishers. The line was formed in the edge of the woods west of the parade ground. PLAN OF THE BATTLE. The plan was to reach a knell between where the imaginary enemy was supposed to be entrenched and their own quarters. The knoll was the objective point for both sides. Capt. Sims was supported by the Valdosta Videttee, and Capt, Brooks was supported by the Dawson Guards. The fir ing began by the skirmishers and continued as the men advanoed, growing hotter. The Greens, Blues and Oglethorpei came up as a reserve and a charge was made upon the Rock ridge. The enemy was repulsed and the grounds were taken. It was exciting and CoL Meroer pronounced it a splendid exhibition well carried out. Col. Reilly commanded the right wing, and he was complimented by the army officers upon the manner in which he carried the men through. The drill will be repeated when the governor reviews the troops Friday. THE TENTS BEADY FOB THE NKW-COMEBS. The tents are all right for those who ar rive to-day. The grounds are swept off nicely, the mess halls are cleaned oat and the bathrooms and kitchens are in order. This week’s installment of men has very little police duty before it. They will not have to dig up stumps, and not much rock will have to be moved, unless the officers want to try the men in this kind of duty. If they do, more rocks and stumps can be found than the boys are able to move in a week. An Irish Jasper Green, who has been on double duty twice, says there is a lot of fuD to be seen here, but it has to lie paid for too dearly. His advioe to the boys is to take things as they come. The men whose time is about up at Camp Chick amauga say they have spent a pleasant week here. They are loud in their praise of the men who have prepared for them, and they cheerfully acknowledge the courtesies extended on all occasions by the pretty lit tle town of Cbickamauga. Most of the men are business men. This is speaking for the Savannah delegation, and if they wished to remain longer their business would not per mit it. Some say they ought to have re turned to Savannah the middle of last week, and some did return before the week was cat. A JOKE ON BID COOK. Sid Cook of the Albany News and Ad vertiser is here as a member of the Albany Guards. He is getting in work at odd hours for his paper. Cook and an Albany guard named Davis rode into Chattanooga on the dummy line to-day, and the men say Cook flirted with a country girl. He got on speaking termß and when the train reached Chattanooga be occupied the same seat with her. Cook is a married man, and of course he was interviewing the woman for his paper. Capt. Wilcox of the Brunswick Riflemen has attracted considerable attention by the manner in which he gives his commands. After each command is executed the captain will say “now,” as for instanoe, “now we will have present arms,” "now carry arms,” “now we will have order arms.” It got out over camp that he was a West Point man and everybody thought it was the idea, until he told some who asked that he had never seen West Point military school. Then everybody imagined they saw at once how unschooled it was. twThe Rifleman make a quick I company, though, and they want to get hold of some company here in a prize drill for a sword. But every compauy, it seems, oomes un - prepared to enter a prize drill. The Albany Guards would like to wipe the Brunswick company off of the face of earth, but they can only stand now and grit their teeth. Their best-drilled men are at home, and there is no chanoe to get them here. Be sides Col. White informed the men to-night that he would not allow any two members of the Seventh battalion to contest against each other. He said he would allow them to challenge any company in the regiment. But the Rifle men have not done so vet. Everybody is keen for a prize drill alter a long week of routine and they are saying everything en couraging to the Brunswick men they can. The Riflemen have won prizes three differ ent times. They won at St. Simon’s the second prize, at Atlanta third prize, and out in Kansas City they won third prize and this was over eighteen companies. ORDERLY TO THE COLONEL. Billie Wright of the Savannah Cadets was appointed orderly to the colonel to-day. He has just arrived and this was his first duty. When a man is chosen to this posi tion out of a big squad of men, where neat ness and soldierly bearing are the requi sites, it is a pretty compliment. About Cbickamauga as a site for a permanent en campment much talk is going on. I took a vote of Greens to-day and they oppose it. The boys are Dleased while they are here, but they are against coming so far to get to the grounds. Capt. Flannery opposes it for this reason. He said as far as the grounds are concerned they are highly satisfactory, but, said he, ‘• We don’t want to lose two days coming and two going away homo. ” He ■aid if it were moved 100 or 200 miles south, he would favor it. Capt. Jordan F. Brooks of the Cadets, said be thought it was too far away. It breaks the men down coming and going. They are worn out when they get here and they are not rested when they get hack home. He found no objection to the site. It surpasses the Augusta encampment in its arrangement. But the captain is at tached to Augusta socially, and he will not say much against her. Now Macon is a point which the men favor as a permanent grounds. don’t favor chickamauga. Lieut. McHarrie of the Oglethorpes does not favor Cbickamauga as a permanent location. He urges the same objection that the others do. It is too far away. Capt. Kolshorn of the German Volunteers objects to its distance from South Georgia, where most of the soldiery is. He has discovered that his men do not do well drinking this lime water. Some of his men have been sick since they arrived here, and they are among the healthiest in the company. Capt. Dixou of the Republican Blues does not like the location at all. He says it is too high up. The night air is too damp for the men to sleep in tents. Besides the distance from borne is too great. It requires too long a time to get here, and too long to get back. He prefers Griffin. So the First Georgia regiment u against Chickamauga tooth and toe nail. It is almost the opposite sentiment across the line in the Seventh battalion. To begin with. Col. Wright strongly favors it, and he has circulated a petition which most of the men comprising the companies of the battalion have signed. The Brunswick Riflemen are in favor of their own town, or St. Simons. They say that the rock up here maxes the men’s feet sore, and the water completely breaks them up. OFPOSrriON OF THE VIDETTES The Valdosta Videttee are opposed to this as a permanent location. They prefer Macon. Capt. People* said: “I am opposed to it for the reason that I believe it is too long a distance for the men to come when equally as good sites may be secured nearer home.” Besides, he added, Georgia wants to derive the revenue which accrues from the men encamped. As it is, Chattanooga gets it all “We want to keep this money In our own state if we can,” he said. Departure of the Volunteers. Eastman, Ga., June 22.—The Eastman Volunteers, thirty-one men, L. J. Bnchan, commander, left this morning at 5 o’clock for Cbickamauga in good health and fine spirits. ohiffin’s guards stabt. Gbiffin, Ga., June 22.—The Spalding Guards leave here at 2 o’clock to-morrow morning on a special train bound for Chlckamauga. They go into camp to morrow noon about forty strong, under command of Capt. J. D. Bailey, Jr. g ■■ OZ DfiRN’S SANITY. A Writ of Lunacy Sworn Out—Hla Wife’s Futile Plea. Atlanta, Ga.. June 22.—This morning a formal writ of lunacy was sworn out In the case of Charles M. Ozburn, condemned to be banged on the 26th. Ozburn may thus escape his fate, at least for a time. He will be visited by a number of physicians before the 24tb, the date on which the sheriff with the concurrence of the ordinary is to have a jury investigate his mental condition. From all accounts Ozburn has been pretty freely dosed with stimulants and opiates, and to this may possibly be attributed his mental and pbysioal condition. To day his pulse fell as low as sixty, and he seemed very weak. The petition for a jury in quirendo de lunatico was filed by \V. R. Montgomery, clerk of the court at Marietta, and a half brother, it is stated, of the condemned man. He made use of the affidavits of County Physician E. Griffin and Dr. C. A. Stiles, both of whom believe Osburn insane. Ozburn’s wife, who has been exceedingly faithful to him, visited the governor this afternoon and presented a pitiful plea, but the matter has passed beyond the hands of the executive, and her plea was without result. PRISONERS ESCAPE JAIL. One Recaptured, But the Other Still at Large. Griffin, Ga., June 22.—Excitement was caused on Hill street to-day about 2 o’clock by a report that the prisoners had escaped from Jail. While Ibner Day, the colored janitor, was feeding the prisoners a heavy rain came up, and in his hurry to go to close the court house windows, he failed to lock the cage door. Two prisoners seeing this took immediate advantage, only having to raise the latch of the outside door, thereby gaining the ball and front door of the jail. Chase was given, and Andrew King, under indiotment for robbery, was caught two miles from town by Sheriff Patrick, but up to this hour James Moore, the other pris oner, has not been naught. He was sen tenced to five years in the penitentiary for murder, but had obtained anew trial. They took different directions when leaving the jail. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Two Boys and Two Horses Stricken Down at Jesup. Jesup, Ga., June 22. —A terrific storm visited this seotion this evening, doing much damage to crops and other property. Pearq aud other fruit are about one-third blown from the trees, and 6bade trees and fences are down in every part of the town. During the storm two negro boys, Moses Taylor and Henry Comos, who were em ployed by J. C. Dve in hauling wood, drove under a large oak tree in front of J. P. Black's residence for shelter. While there lightning struck the tree and instantly killed the negroes and two horses. Prof. J. W. St. Clair was standing in the front door of Mr. Black's residence and received a severe shock.

To-day he tried to accomplish the same feat, but was run down by the horses and knocked over while stooping at the bwitch. Before he could recover he was caught under the wheels and mashed to a pulp. His head was crushed aud his neck and limbs broken, aud death was instanta neous. He leaves two children. THROWN OUT OF COURT. Mrs. Harvey Held to Have No Case Against the Telegraph. Macon, Ga., June 22.— 1n the case of Harvey vs. the Telegraph to-day in the United States court a motion for a rehear ing was denied. Judge Speer in his decis ion remarked that Mrs. Harvey had an op portunity, and promptly utilized it, of inflioting a punishment of a physioal nature upon the reporter who made the publica tion. In view of this fact, and many others which he might state, he considered the case fortunately ended. BOLLEN GETS FOUR YEARS. Hie Flight With a Negress Costs Him a Term In Prison. Atlanta, Ga., June 22.—Miles M. Bol len, the conviot guard who eloped from the Bolton camp a short time ago with a negro murderess named Eliza Randall, who had been confined for life, and drossed her in boys' clothes to prevent suspicion, was to day given four years in the penitentiary on aocount of his escapade.

Boardman of Macon, was oiling a pistol to day ne accidentally shot himself in the leg. The wound is painful but not serious.

Archdeacon Farrar has addressed the fol lowing letter to Mrs. Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner, in reply to a communication which she hod addressed to him : Bear Madam—l do not know a single reasonably educated Christian who takes the mere symbols of heaven for heaven. We do not suppose that heaven is a cubic city, or a pagoda of jewels, or even an end less seven-fold choras of hallelujahs and harping symphonies. Long ago a Christian poet sang: O, for a deeper insight Into heaven; More knowledge of the glory and the joy Which there unto tbs happy souls is given; For it is past belief that Christ hath died Only that we eternal psalms might sing. That all the gain Death's awful curtains hide Is this eternity of antheming. And this praised rest: shall there be no en deavor? etc., etc. If I could find a printed sermon of mine entitled “What Heaven Is.” you would see that we regard it as a place of progress, of fruition of all that is noble, of growth and progress upwards and onwards, of endless and beneficent activity, of a love which knows no fear and no hatred, of a growing more like to God because we shall see him as he is. In Browning’s poems you will see this view of heaven constantly set forth; and the eminent theologian Whichcot said, two centuries ago, “Heaven is a temper.’’ I have often quoted with approval the saying of Confucius, “Heaven means prin ciple.” The old deatable notions of happy sonls re joicing over the torments of the lost have long been exorcised, and if you have time to glance at “My Eternal Hope,” or “Mercy aud Judgment.” which now represent the best opinions in the church, you will see many proofs that the Calviaistic horrors of an unnatural theology hare never been au thorized by many men, even by greatest Christian fathers and canonized saints of the mediaeval church. Let me add, I for one have not uttered a syllable of disrespect about your father, though lam a sincere and convinced be liever. I only met him once, as chaplain of the House of Commons, and we exchanged a courteous greeting. Had I been able to show him Christianity as I see it, I do not think that he would have wished to be counted among the foes of our gospel—if such was his attitude. But Christianity has been more sorely wounded in the house of its friends than by its enemies. Yours faithfully, F. W. Farrar. BEHIND THE SCENES. European High Life and the Foibles of Titled People. From the IVow York Recorder. The soi-dieant Baron Rudolph Kalnoky, whose duel with a young southerner at Chicago created such a sensation in the press about three weeks ago, Is nothing more or less than an adventurer sailing under false colors. Having known the whole of the Kalnoky family for many years, writes the Marquise de Fontenoy, I told the truth at the time, and the statement has now reoeived official con firmation from Vienna. To begin with, there are no “Baron” Kalnokys, but only “counts,” and there are but five persons who possess the right to bear that name and title. Of these the beet known are Gustave and Hugo. The former is the well-known states man and minister of foreign affairs, who holds the office formerly filled by the la mented Count Andrassy and who enjoys the reputation of being the most supercili ous, haughty and cynical bachelor in the the empire. Like his brother Hugo he has never as yet been seen without his eyeglass stuck in his right eye. It is even asserted that be sleeps with it, and I mhself have seen him come a terrible cropper In the hunt ing field without dropping the glass from his eye. Auother of Gustave’s peculiarities is bis horror of shaking hands. When he is obliged to do so he generally gives only two fingers, or even one, according to the de gree of honor which he is inclined to pay his visitor. The only time that I have ever seen him disconcerted was once, when a young English attache who was being pre sented to him, and who had been warned of this peculiarity, responded to the single finger which the Count held out by extend ing his own forefinger, hooking it on to that of the astounded excellency, and shaking it heartily 1 Count Hugo Kalnoky, the prime minis ter’s younger brother, is famous as being the most witty man in the Austrian army. He is an inveterate practical joker, and the stories told of his freaks and pranks form the delight of Viennese society and of the entire Austrian army. Although even more popular with women than he is with men, his appearance can hardly be said to be altogether in his favor, for he was born with only one ear. Among the most amusing practical jokes which I have seen him play was one which took place after a dinner at Sacher’s fa mous Viennese restaurant, when he made a wager that he would got the first woman he met in the street on going out to blow his nose. It was dusk, and the military cloak wljich he had thrown loosely over his shoulders without pulling the arms through the sleeves gave him the appearance of being armless. Stopping under the shadow of an electric lamp, he manifested signs of great discomfort and distress. A respect able-looking old dame who happened to be passing became attracted thereby, and, after a minute’s hesitation, asked him sym pathetically what was the matter. “I want to blow my nose, and I am un able to do so. as you can see yourself,” replied Hugo Kalnoky, gaziDg helplessly at the one and then at the other of his empty ooat sleeves. The Bosnia and Herzegovina campaign was just at an end, and Vienna was filled at the time with wounded soldiers and officers. The old lady immediately took it for granted that Kalnoky had lost his arms on the battle-field, and exclaiming in tones of boundless pity: “Poor fellow, poor fellow! let me help you,” she extracted his hand kerchief from his breast pocket, held it to the proper organ while he blew with the sound of a trumpet. As soon as the old lady had returned the handkerchief to its pocket Hugo flung his coat aside and, gracefully rising his oap with his right hand, bowed profoundly, ex claiming, “I thank you madams, for your great kindness,’’ and then walked a wav, leaving the old lad}* standing as if dum struck with her eyes and mouth wide open with astonishment. Count Hugo Kalnoky had won his bet. Lady Brooke, whose name is just now so prominently before the public in connec tion with that of the Prinoe of Wales, is a far more beautiful woman than her photo graphs make her appear. Indeed, I have never yet seen a portrait that did her jus tice. With her wealth of golden hair, her graceful figure and her exquisite complex ion, she has always seemed r.o me the per fection of fresh, delicate, lilylike English loveliness. She is, however, far from popu lar in London, a fact due to the jealousy caused by the partiality which the Prince of Wales shows for her society, and also to the strong individuality of her character. She does not make friends easily, has a horror which she does not attempt to dis guise for all bores and for everything com monplace, and possesses a mind of muoh originality, which is as active as her body. She drives four-in-hand, handling the rib bons in a delightful manner, talks cleverly, is a devoted mother to her beautiful chil dren and does an immense amount of good with her enormous wealth among the poor both around Ea3ton Lodge, her country seat in Essex, and' in London. At the former place she has organized and maintains a school where over a hundred girls of the neighborhood are educated and taught dainty and feminine trades, such as lace making, embroidery of underwear, eto., commanding both good reDumeration for the present, and a pleasant livlihood for the future. Of course she Is willful and per haps I might add sometimes something of a spoiled child. But what pretty woman is not, especially when, as in the case of Lady Brooke, she had beou taught from her ear lier youth to consider herself the greatest heiress in London. Queen Victoria devotes £IO,OOO, or $50,000, every year to entertainments at Bucking ham Palace. These consist of two state balls and two state concerts, at each of which her majesty is represented by the Prince and Princess of Wales. The queen limits the expense of the state balls to SIO,OOO each, while that of the state concerts is fixed at $15,000. Under no circumstances are these figures permitted by the sovereign to be exceeded. The principal gastroncmi cal feature of the funotion is the hock-oup, which owes the secret of its composition to the genius of the late Prince Consort and which enjoys a well-deserved fame. Court trains are not worn by ladies at these entertainments, while the men, unless they belong to the army or navy, are forced to don white knee breeches and white silk stockings, which are very trying to the ap pearance. I need scarcely add that these state balls and state concerts are infinitely more exclusive affairs than the drawing rooms , and that the queen herself annually revises the list of guests to be invited, rarely adding more than half a dozen new names. In addition to hi? trouble with the vari cose veins of his legs, to his worries in con nection with the baccarat scandal and to his financial difficulties, the Prince of Wales is suffering most intolerably from insomnia, a malady for which the Princess of Wales, the Empress of Russia and especially the unfortunate Duchess of Cumberland have been under treatment for many years with out any great improvement haring mani fested itself in their oondition. Insomnia is, indeed, one of the most difficult of all nervous maladies to cure, and when it pounces down on a man who is forced to lead a life of considerable 't, as is the case with the prince, i* ' y jurse all the harder to shake off. an “ 0 / The Princess of Wal- * P*Pw “l@s being a pianist of rare t’ far ,*° quisiteiy on the most diffiej* *•* f” and re g uU ients, the zither, has now F *“d ’ on to tbe is the bert of 9 M 9 j ‘ st^ ument ver y m , and is under th inml but muctl of the business office.
