c. A. R. Encampment Notes.
If there was ever. a doubt in the
minds cf any that there were old vets
left in the country, that doubt will van-
ish on reading the reports from Wash-
ington. Every hour of the da and
night since last Friday, trains oaded
with G. A. R. boys have been pouring
into Washington. The streets of the
capital city are thronged with them and
the public buildings and stores and
most residences are as brilliant as a
peach orchard in May. The stars and
stripes and red, white and blue em-
blems of devotion to our preserved
Union are as universal to-day through-'
out the city, now grown from a dingy,
muddy hamlet to a great city, as they
were conspicuously absent in the dark
days of 1861. .
The first Grand Arm post to. arrive
was Louis Bell Post, 0. 3, of Man-
There were 200 men in
the delegation and 50 ladies. together
with a large drum corps. The- party
experienced a rough passage on Long
Island Sound, as they were out the
night of the storm, but began Sight-
seeing as soon as they arrive in Wash-
ington.
The story of one old darky patriot is
thus given by the Washington Star: .
“Fur de Lamb’s sake honey, is dis
hyar Washington ? ” he asked as he
hobbled out of the depot._ “I’se been
a comin’ hyar fur twenty-five y’ars,
but somehow I ain’t been mobed by de
proper spirit. When I seed in de pa-
pers dat de glori’us Grand Army war a
comin’ I made up my mind dat I’d
come. I had to sell my stove, but dere
ain’t no winter What kin chill 'de heart
'of dis chile when his country calls.”
About seventy-five survivors of the
sixteenth regiment will meet Tuesday
and hold their twenty-fifth annual re-
union at the home of Henry West Vail,
the only member of the regiment hung
in the city. 001. Frank Cheney, can-
didate for lieutenat governor in the
coming election, will be present, and
all Connecticut people in Washington
are invited to attend.
Buckingham Post, the Woman’s Re-
lief Corps, with Dr. Noble, reached
Washington last evening. Dr. Noble
was announced Sunday to preach, in
(Iitev. Dr. Chester’s church next Sun-
ay.
The Veterans Association of the 79th
Highlanders, New York Volunteers,
under command of their president, Col.
Andrew D. Baird, are there. This
regiment entered the service at the
commencement of the War and served
throughout, participating in many of
the principal battles.
Vice President Morton is there to
Espresent the so painfully absent PreSi-
ent.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler has noti-
fied the committee that he would be
there to take part in the parade. His
familiar face will be greeted with cheers
by the men who were under him dur-
ing the “late unpleasantness.” _ .
Gen. Sickles is also :there With his
26th N. Y. Vet. Cavalry Association.
The interior of Albaugh’s Opera
House, where the national encampment
will convene, has been elaborately dec-
orated by C. H. Koster, of New York.
The decorations are something entire-
1y new and unique.
The reception in the majestic rotunda
of: the Capitol last evening was one_ of
the most interesting and impresswe
parts of the grand encampment.
One of the unique features of the en-
campment will be the grand concert of
brass bands, under the leadership of
John Philip Sousa. For this monster
afi‘air forty bands have reported, aggre-
gating 1,000 instruments. The concert
takes place Wednesday evening. The
grogramme is as follows :
Patriotic air, “Hail Columbia." ........... Fyles
“My Countr ’T15 of Thee” ............... Carey
“God Save t e Pres1dent’_’ .............. Millard
March, "The Belle of CthSth,’ .......... Sousa
"The Red, White, and Blue” .............. Shaw
Patriotic air, "Star Spangled Banner" Arnold
Accompanied by Batter C,3rd United States
Artillery, under comman of Ca t. J. M. Lan-
caster, detailed by Gen Schofieldl
There will be reunions and camp
fires of old army surgeons, chaplains,
war correspondents, etc., throughout
the week. »
Churches, school houses, public halls,
vacant stores and buildings, etc., have
been given over to the veterans and
their friends. Hotels, boarding houses
and private residences have been
. thrown wide open to them. The White
Lot and Washington Monument Square
and Garfield Square are thickly cov-
ered With tents, wooden barracks and
great army cook shops.
The Connecticut headquarters are at
the Randle House opposite the Treas-
ury. Bucking-ham Post’s quarters are
at the Barracks on Garfield Square,but
large numbers accompanied by ladies
have been assigned to private houses.
The encampment is to end with the
grandest fire works exhibit ever seen in
America.
A Runaway.
The grey horse owned by E. K.
Lockwood & 00. created a livel dis-
turbance on Wall street, ll" onday
John Rice, a driver in the employ of
the firm went to the propeller 'wharf
with the team to get a stove. He was
accompanied by Oswald. R. Smith. Af-
ter placing the stove in the wagon they
started to‘ drive to the store. The stove
rattled some and Smith being unable to
steady it Rice took the reins in one
hand and reached back to keep. the
stove from falling on the seat. As he
did so the horse gave a start throwing
the occupants out of the wagon and
started on a run up Smith street. Rice
struck on his stomach and holding on
to the lines was dragged quite a dis-
tance but was finally forced to let go
his hold. He. escaped injury. Smith
received a severe ‘sprain to his wrist.
The horse continued up Smith street
to Wall, and "When in front of Lock-
wood’s store. he collided with a
wagon belonging to George, Gregory
and hitched to Whitlock’s horse “Spot. ”
The Gregory wagon was considerably
wrecked,the reach, hind wheel, whithe-
tree and shafts being broken. The
runaway then came in collision with a
heavy truck team from the Bradley axe
factory, Weston, when he became
loosened from the wagon and contin-
ued on down Wall street to Cross
street where he was stopped by a young
man named Frank Freckman, of South
W11li011.‘ There were several teams on
the street at the time, but the above
mentioned Were the only two which
were struck. .Thej Leckwood wagon es-
caped With slight injury to the fifth
wheel and a broken whitfletree.
Look at the List.
It would be well for voters in the
Borough to examine the Borough vat-x
ing list, now hanging in the post office,
and see if their names are recorded, as
quite a number of names of those en-
titled to vote have been omitted.

Liquor Found in a House on step—
rock Road and the Proprie—
tor Arrested.
Officer June Threatened by a Mob
of the Prisoners’ Friends-
A raid was made on the “drug store”
kept by one Dan Gormlcv on the Step-
rock road, and in which it was alleged
large quantities of ,intoxmants were be-
ing disposed of contrary to the statutes
in such cases made and provided. The
' raid was made by Lewis B. June,-ac-
companied by Robert Reed and Wil-
liam Pryor. The gentlemen called at
Gormley’s about 9.30 o’clock Saturday
evening, and June read both a warrant
for Gormley’s arrest'and a search war-
rant of the premises. One gallon of
whiskey was discovered in the store
, and 166 bottles of lager in the cellar.
Gormley was placed under arrest and
taken before Justice Morrell and placed
under bonds for his appearance for
trial Sundayinight. Ofiicer June had in
the meantime sent down for a truck to
take away the confiscated goods, leav-
ing Reed and Pryor in charge of the
place. During his absence a crowd of
fifteen or more had assembled in the
place. On his return June sent Reed
and Pryor after a truck to take away
the stuff. Seeing June alone the crowd
commenced helping themselves to the
lager and when June interfered threat-
ened to do him bodily injury ; he, how-
ever, pluckily retained possession, of
the goods luntil the other officers re-
turned with Oflicer Geheb'e and a truck,
when the goods, minus sixteen bottles
of lager which the crowd had managed
to:steal, were taken to a place of safety
and this morning were destroyed by
order of prosecuting attorney Gray. In
the search Ofiicer June found apitcher
containing about a quart of whiskey in
a flour barrel, which he placed cards
only to have it grabbed up by Mrs.
Gormley and its contents hurled into
the sink. Last evening Gormley Plead
guilty to the charges against him and
Justice Morrell fined him $20 and costs,
amounting in all to $38.75, which he
paid and was discharged.
.Much credit is due Oflicer June for
his brave action in the premises, as at
one time his life was threatened by the
mob, some of whom threatened to brain
him With bottles of beer. He has the
_ names of several of the rowdies and
more arrests will probably follow. The
place has even a worse reputation than
Tuhey’s drug store, and the great won-
der is that it has not been “pulled” be-
fore this.
John Welch Breaks Hts Leg.
Saturday afternoon John Welch was
found in a very intoxicated condition
in the-orchard at the rear of the resi-
dence of Norman L. Austin. It was also
found that his right leg was broken at
the ankle. He was unable to tell how
the accident happened. A carriage
was secured and Welch placed in it and
taken to his home in the Keena build-
ingpn'Water street. On arriving there
he insisted on walking up stairs not
realizmg the extent of his injuries, and
even after he had been carried up stairs
to the door of his home refused to give
up the key saying to those who were
caring for him, that they wanted to rob
him. An entrance was finally effected
and Welch placed on a bed, and Dr.
BaldWin was summoned who reduced
the fracture, Mrs. Welch in the mean-
time having been advised of her hus-
band’s plight. Welch for some reason
or other does little or no work, the
family being in the main provided for”
by Mrs. Welch who is a hard working
woman. How the accident happened
is not definitely known, but it is be-
lieved that he stepped on a rolling
stone and fell as he was crossing the
orchard. He was seen an hour pre- '
vious leaning up against a tree by some
passers-by, but as e did not have any-
hing to say, no attention was paid to
him. It is now thought that he was
hurt at the time, but was too much un-
der the. influence to realize the fact.
The injury Will keep him confined to
his bed for some weeks to come.

Stoned the Electric Light Station.
Michael McMullen, jr., and James
Crawford, aged respectively 19 years,
went to Sauoatuck Monday to witness
a pool matc . On their way home
they .quarreled with a young man nam-
ed Brennan, and continued the quarrel
after arriving on Main street.
police started them home. Going
down Hoyt street Crawford and Mc-
Mullen thought to intercept Brennan.
Failing in this, they proceededto Wil-
ton avenue, where they indulged in the
reprehenSible pastime of hurling stones
through the windows at Mrs. Nagle’s
store. Employees at the Electric Light
station remonstrated with them and the
young devils then commenced throw-
ing stones at the station. one of the
larger . stones entering the building
and striking the machinery. Word was
telephoned to the police and Chief De-
__Forest sent Ofiicers Martin and North-
rop to the scene and they arrested the
“boys” and placed them in the station-
house. Tuesday they were taken
before Justice Coolidge who placed
them under $200 bonds for a further-
hearing at 5o’clock,Tuesday afternoon.
In default of the bonds they were re-
manded to the station-house. Young
McMullen’s father when he heard 'of
his son’s arrest" said that he would not
give ten cents towards keeping him out
of jail. _
A hearing in the case of young Craw-
ford and McMullen, mention of whose
arrest for hurling stones through win-
dows on Wilton avenue was chron-
icled in these columns, Tuesday, was
had before Justice Coolidge Tuesday
eve’g. Crawford plead guilty and was
fined 33 and costs amounting to $11.32,
which was paid. McMullen plead not
guilty and was fined 37 and costs
amounting to $l5. 57, from whichjudge-
ment he appealed, and the justice
placed his bonds at $100. He afterward
changed his mind and paid up. '

Suspicion pointed to one Charles Beers
as the guilt party, and a: watch was set
upon the -p ace, but up to Sunday no
convincing evidence against the accused
could be had.About 8.30 o’clock,‘Sunday
night the proprietor’s father and bro-
ther were, sitting in the saloon, when
they thought they heard a suspicious
noise in an ante-room and'on making a
search as to its cause, found Beers se-
creted under a table. - He 'was turned
over to the police and, placed in the
statiomhouse. The first suspicion Mr.
Adams had of the guilty party was fur-
nished by the police who had seen
Beer's coming out of the saloon at un-
seemly hours of the night. Beers was
employed in various capacities about
the. saloon, but Mr. Adams’ was not
_.
' awarethat he had a key to the place.
It is believed that he took the liquor
out in pint and half pint bottles and dis-
posed of it. ”To a GAZETTE reporter Mr.
Adams Monday said that he paid a
fine and costs for Beers to liberate him
from jail, that he had provided him
with clothes and board, and was great-
‘i. :ly surprised that he should rob him.
-. Beers is well known in town, and crea-
ted considerable excitement during the
past summer by jumping off the Adams
uilding into the creek. .

court under_ bonds of $300.
