NEWS OF THE RAILROADS SPECIAL MEETING OF B. AND 0. NUMBER OF OFFICIAL CHANGES MADE. The Plan for the Reorganization of the Cincinnati, and Baltimore Railroad Approved. The directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad held a special meeting yesterday, President Mayer presiding, with Mr.

Andrew Anderson An important organization for conducting the B. and business was approved as presented by President Mayer. The board also approved the long-looked for plan of reorganization of the Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore Railroad Company. All the directors were present except Messrs. Wrm.

H. Blackford, Wm. F. Burns; Arthur P. Gorman, H.

G. Curtain, B. H. Farreri, Thomas M. Lanahan and Joseph B.

Stafford. THE CHANGES MADE. Under the plan for B. and O. organization there ia a general manager for the entire sj-stem, and the road is divided into three general divisions the one west of the Ohio river, known as the trans-Ohio division? the one east of the Ohio to Mount Clare, known as the main line division, and the line from Washing-ton to Philadelphia, aud including all the New York terminals and properties, to be known as the eastern division.

There will be general superintendents in each division, assisted by division superintendents, general superintendent of motive power and engineers of maintenance of way and superintendent of car service. Colonel H. T. Douglas, the present chief engineer of the Philadelphia line, was made chief engineer of the entire Baltimore and Ohio system. Mr.

J. M. Schryver. the present assistant general ticket agent, was confirmed as assistant general piissenger acrent east of the Ohio river, and Mr. O.

P. McCarty was confirmed as assistant general passenger agent west of the Ohio, the office of general ticket agent having been abolished and consolidated with the passenger department. Mr. G. W.

Mr. Alfred Walter who has acted in sev eral important positions in the service of the Pennsylvania and Northern Central Railway Companies, was unanimously confirmed as general superintendent of the two divisions east of the Ohio. THE C. W.

AND B. REORGANIZATION. With regard to the Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore Railroad the committee, which is composed of Charles Wehrhane, John H. Davis, Edward R. Bacon and Henry W.

Poor, of New York, and T. Edward Hambleton, of Baltimore, make the following explanation of the proposed plan, which is given in the weekly circular of John A. Hambleton "It provides for a settlement with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company whereby its prior lien judgment amounting to and a portion of the first mortgage coupons held bv it, making a total of about are paid and satisfied by delivery of income bonds and stock, and the funding of hat company's other first mortgage holdings into the new first mortgage at a reduced rate of interest, and the absolute guarantee by the B.and O.Company of the principal and interest of all the new first mortgage bonds is Scu red. "It removes the danger of any of the securities being absolutely sacrificed by the enforcement (which cannot longer be postponed) of the first liens, and greatly lessens the assessments which would have to be levied to preserve the securities in such event. "It secures the reduction of the fixed charges to a sum safely within the railroad's net earning capacity in its present condition, thereby protecting the new securities from the danger of future foreclosure, and imparting to them additional saftty and permanent-value.

"It consolidates the several present divisional bonds, due and shortly maturing, and the two classes of first mortgage bonds into one new first mortgage bond, amply secured, independent of the guaranty as provided to be given by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. "It equitably distributes the concessions that must, in any event, be made by the various classes of securities, and provides for the participation of the present securityholders in a new solvent company. "The funds obtained will be sufficient, in the judgment of competent experts who have examined the property, to make the needful improvements therein and to procure the betterments and equipments required, and which will substantially reduce in the future the cost of the operation of the railroad." The negotiations having been finally com- Bleted with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ompany, and that railroad company having executed the agreement for the reorganization of the Cincinnati, vVashington and Baltimore Railroad, the committee have authorized the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company to receive the securities under the plan; the time limited within which deposits must be made being between the DSthday of July and the 20th day of August. Under this plan the present railroad is to be speedily sold under the foreclosure of the first mortgage. The property will be purchased by purchasing trustees, who will immediately organize a new company, in which all the security-holders who accept the plan will be allowed to participate.

FEATURES OF THE PLAN. The first feature of tbe plan is the issue of a mortgage of $11,000,000, which provides for the principal and interest of the outstanding bonds, prior lien ana aivisionat mortgage, and the two classes of first mortgage bonds and a portion of past due coupons and cer tain reserve for the procurement of equipment for the company. The present first mortgage is only a mortgage on the middle division of the road, and a second mortgage on the terminals. The new mortgage will be a first and only mortgage upon the whole line. The amount of this mortgage is.

$7,343,00 Tbe mortgages upon the terminals and branches, which are prior to this mortgage, amount to 2.050.000 A large portion of the indebtedness is bearing ana 7 per cent, interest. In addition there is a prior lien judgment upon the property amounting to about 1,273,000 And an accumulation of first mortgage. coupons ot about. i Making a total of bonded indebtedness and judgment indebtedness of The plan provides for the exchange of all the bonds and a portion of the coupon indebtedness by the issue of a new mortgage of $11,000,000, in which mortgage is funded all of the interest on the old bonds that will mature in 1889, including the 1st of January, 1890, and also providing for about $600,000 for the exchange of the securities and the new company's use. These bonds will run for one hundred years, bearing four and one-half per cent, interest per annum, payable semi-annually, the first coupon of which will mature July 1, 1890, and guaranteed.

absolutely principal and interest, by the li. and O. Railroad Company. All of the holders ot the respective first mortgage bonds and liens will have the right to exchange these bonds on the terms stated in the plan. They are all to be exchanged at par, except the C.

and B. 7 per bent, bonds, which will receive a premium of about 17 in the new bonds. The holders of the old first mortgage four Hill Sfc uaiio mil, nuuittvi, uaio a aj(uv i.v exchange their holdings for the new bond. which will oe an actual nrst mortgage upon the property, with an interest charge, which, after careful review by experts, is estimated clearly within the capacity of the road to earn. There is no other interest charge upon the property.

Under the settlement with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company over $400,000 of coupons and the prior lien judgment is extinguished by the Baltimore and Ohio receiving in discharge thereof $2,460,000 of the new income bonds. The total amount of the income bonds of this issue is $3,040,000 are reserved to exchange for the old second mortgage) bonds, ana the Daiance is paid in settlement with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The company will also issue $8,400,000 of sec ond income bonds, which will be used as follows: For the principal of the present third mortgage $2,270,000, for one-half of the present first incomes $1,750,000. and for thirty per cent, of the second incomes $1,200,000. i or assessments paid upon the respective bonds and stock holders will receive second income bonds on the basis of 200 per cent, for 100 per cent, of assessment paid, which amounts to Sl.T37.0u0.

There will be in the treasury of the company $43,000. The third income bonds of $7,500,000, which is issued for 55 per cent, of the thirds in addition to the amount oi tne seoona incomes wnicn tney receive; for 40 per cent of the preferred stock and 20 per cent, of the common stock. Tbe stock capital will consist of two classes. Two-and-one-half millions two-and-one-half millions of common. The preferred stock is issued as follows: The first and second income bonds, in addition to the new second income bonds they receive, get 12 per cent, upon the principal ot their Donas in this stock; ana tne preierrea receives 10 per cent, and the common stock 5 per cent.

The common stock is issued to the B. and O. Road in ull settlement The assessments charged are 89 follows: Second mortgage bonds are assessed 5 per cent, on their principal; the third mortgage bonds 4 per the first income bonds Z4 per the second income bonds 2 per the preferred stock $1 per share, and the common stock 50 cents per share. The holders paving these assessments will receive 200 per cent, in new second iucome bonds, as above stated. It will be seen from an examination of the plan that all the respective interests in the old company are allowed to participate in the new company on depositing securities and paving assessments rnereon.

The new company will have, from assess ments and new bonds, $1,000,000 for the payment of the expenses of the execution of the plan and for providing improvements and equipment. The road will be sold in- August, and tne noiuers suouia promptly ie posit their securities in case they desire to preserve their rights. Tnis plan creates a perfectly solvent company, with ample means to carry on the successful operation of the road under improvements made which will greatly reduce the cost of operation, and it is confidently believed that the road will be able to earn much more tnan the interest charge. A e-uarantee syndicate ha hwn fnrmeri ot London to provide funds for the exchange of the securities, and for certain necessary cash auvauces, auu guaranteeing the assessments on the income bonds and stock. All assessments not paid bv tha income bondholders and stockholders will be paid by me nyuuicate, wno will receive therelor the securities that the delinquent holders would have received if they had paid their assessments.

i EK. ii.i.-i. THE NEW RICHMOND. A PROGRESSIVE SOUTHERN CITY. ELECTRIC CARS AND FINE BUILDINGS.

Risen from Aslies Vast Improvements Gothic Architecture GrowtU of Busi ness and Manufactures. No city in the South suffered as much from the impoverishment and destruction of war as Virginia's capital. Yet today it stands almost entirely rebuilt, beautified and pros pering, and close search is necessary to find even a few traces leading to its era of dis aster. The improvements of various kinds made within recent years have been truly enormous. ELECTRICITY'S MAGICAL EFFECTS.

The famous old town has been literally electrified, having been among the first to allow its street cars to be driven by the elec trie machine. Harboring no fears in -egard to the introduction or the new motive power, the citizens boldly pronounced their fiat in its favor. "Give the horses a rest and lot us try electricity" was at once their decision, and no sooner waa it obtained than an enterprising northern company laid tracks and wires ana put trie streets unaertne eiectnc regime. From the start the new system prospered and is now extending in every airection. Aireaay tne tnorougnrares eoniaiu quite a network of electric routes, and the tinkle of the electric gong and the buzzing of the current animate them nisrht and day and electrify the surroundings.

With this sound in their ears and speed before their eyes the most languid of pedestrians are stirred into rapider exertion, and are tangibly made to know the value of every passing moment. THE WTBE3 AND CARS. The wires are not at all an obstruction or disfigurement in the streets, indeed are hardly perceptible, being very small, and stretched on poles that are placed on the edge of the sidewalks amidst the trees and the ordinary telegraph poles, differing in this respect from tiie single line operated on New York avenue at Washington, where the wires and poles, with numerous decorations and globes for lighting, are placed directly in the middle of the avenue and constitute a serious and obscuring disfigurement. The cars are driven at an even and unflagging gait, stop readily to take up or put off passengers, and are run at a speed of fifteen miles up the steepest grades of the many hills. The extra speed and the quick time generally made are most refreshing to all, save, perhaps, the drivers and conductors, who are thus prevented from slacking or halting their invisible teams in order to chat with fellow-drivers and conductors, and from spurting or loafing along according to the old custom of their own or of their horses' momentary mood.

This is one of the many little nuisances so irritating to the hurried passenger that electricity has nipped in the bud once for all, to the great delight and profit of once long-suffering streetfarers. There is not a city in the Union where the old horse-cars are solid that the nuisance mentioned is not also solid. Electricity, moreover, has vastly increased the traffic at Richmond, and the open summer cars are crowded from early in the evening till late at night by excursions of ladies and children proceeding out to the city's extremities an3 heights in order to enjoy cool breezes amid the flowers, trees, and pure air of the country environs. Whole families conveniently board from their porches the open cars to be whirled out to the favorite resort known as the Reservoir Grounds. The companies are coining money, and the fare, far from having been increased, is expected Co be lowered in the course of time upon further multiplying the running agencies.

Another good feature consequent upon the new locomotion is the marked decrease of clattering, panting and suffering horses in the streets a relief to the poor brutes, a glamour, so to say, of the new scientific life impending. Altogether the electric effects as displayed form a suggestive study, and verily the Union will present a revolutionized spectacle when dynamos replace all manner of horse-motion. In such event it 13 hard to exaggerate tbe relief which will be the lot of such big trafficking cities as Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. No one can look at the streets of Richmond today and fail to acknowledge that even in the South science is king not cotton. union depot and railroads.

A half-dozen railway lines enter the city to bring freight and passengers to its marts. Two, the Fredericksburg and the Petersburg lines, recently put up at the city end of the new iron bridge across James river a large union depot, which is quite an addition to the city's embellishments. It is after the Queen Anne style when that order of architecture was raging, but it matters not that it is thus made to present the appearance of a cosy, home-like abode for travelers. The depots, of the other lines are small, old and 6adly need replacing. It is said that this will be done ere long and better accommodations built for the traveling public, and estecially to strike more favorably strangers and business men visiting the place, which is, on the whole, striding ahead in a very quick way, taking into consideration that Rome was not built in a day.

The Chesapeake and Ohio line entering the city has exhibited a great deal of energy, having long ago pushed its transportation of freijrht and passengers through to tne sea at Nwrort News, where improvements are to ba added by the creation of a big shipbuildinjr yard, the embryonic plant of which already exists. This railroad passes down the peninsula by the old capital ol Williamsburg, whose college numbered one hundred students last session, though the old'burg itself barely keeps alive in the clutches of decay, malaria and mosquitoes. THE NEW CITY HACTj. The grandest public building ever reared on Virginia's soil Is Richmond's new City Hall, now nearly completed, the roof and interior only remaining to be finished. It is of whitish-gray granite, on the Gothic order ot architecture, and occupies an entire equare unon the site of the old edifice and of a church that was expressly expropriated.

The Grecian style would, have been handsomer and more in keeping with the Southern climate and the unique style of the Capitol, nearly adjoining on the State Square, which contains the splendid monument to Washington, grand old trees, and which would be even more beautiful if not half hillside, and, therefore, visible only by patches. It was decided that the city should have at least one official structure resembling the earlier Gothic architecture of the mother country, and so the present architectural pattern was adopted by the municipal fathers. The windows and other openings of the new edifice are numerous and narrow, and this multiplicity of apertures certainly detracts from that more solid appearance which the pile would on the other order have, and best have, yet the structure as it is by no means looks flimsy, but is handsome, and a credit to the city and the builders, he municipal engineer evidently watched to see that good work was given for the cost, estimated at a final total of nearly a million dollars. The inside decorations are designed to be plain and neat, and it is thought that the building-will be ready for use during the course of next year. population.

Comparatively the population has grown slowly since the war. Its total is now set at eighty thousand, and is composed chiefly of two classes native white Virginians, numbering about forty-five thousand, and thirty-five thousand native blacks; that is to say, to the manor born and flocked in from the rest of the State. Very few foreigners settled anywhere in Virginia, and consequently Richmond has very few citizens who are ignorant of the meaning of "ash cake and herring," "pone and 'possum." The few from the European continent hail from Germany and Italy. The black population is entirely a laboring one, is steadily relied on for work, and is said to give satisfaction, just as in fact it has ever enjoyed there a preference over white labor from the time of the settlement clearly an outcome of habit solely The great poet says habit is second nature. Negro nurses, cooks, waiters, negroes all in the way of heavy workers, occupy the scenes, though the cooks in particular are reported to have fallen off in skill since bereft of the teaching formerly bestowed on them in the kitchens of the old white households.

The new and younger generation of whites the hope and stay of the State are slightly unsettled and confused on the score of the labor question, only following the Old-time-ideaed lead just because it is the old one. and yet quite ready to strike out in any newer direction. Evidently the city is ripe for changes and novelties, for grand business undertakings, most of all, and nothing in the way of bigness is looked upon as startling in the now fairly entered career of progress. The effect may be due to the waking up from a lethean sleep, or the introduction of electricity, or the spirit of the times, singly or united, but it is very perceptible. One of the most complained-of drawbacks incident to the large proportion of blacks that have flocked into the city is their inability and disinclination to read and buy newspapers and books, and thus nearly one-half of the population's lost as a reading public, with consequences exceedingly disastrous, especially to publishers and bookstores.

One of the editors remarked that his paper would have two or three thousand more buyers if the entire population were a reading one. Despite so much abounding ijrnorance.good a very healthy moral discipline, is maintained as a rule from year's end to year's end. POLITICS AND NEWSPAPERS. As a Governor is. to be nominated on the 14th of August and to be elected in November, the necessary canvass has already waxed warm, especially at Richmond, where the convention is to meet.

No special anxiety is exhibited there, however, as to wh the nominee may be. All. knowing the nomination never goes a-begging, rest assured that the right man will get it in the end, according to custom. Three aspirants are in the field, and one of hem is a Richmond man, and the city's favorite, to wit, R. F.

Beirue, editor of The State, the only evening paper in tne state. The Dispatch, as tne leading paper of the city and commonwealth, has all the latest improvements and appliances, new and handsome numerous correspondents at all points of the country districts, and also the bulk of the advertising, and it is profitable, as the city has ever been keenly alive to the value of advertising its wares. The Times, run by a company, is a new paper, started under difficulties and yet successfully emerged, and occupies a line office on the choicest part of the principal street. Tbe support of these papers, restricted under the circumstances, affords them no palatial homes, but they are amply sufficient to meet their supporters' requirements, and the competition is not down to any close and excessive point. BUSINESS.

Less attention is (riven bv the citizens to the small things, the "niceties" (of society. loriueny so attracting, ana mere is now more concentration on business. In truth, business only is strongly gripped, and, ia comparison, public life is unsought; the few onlotjholders who draw email sulaiies from the debt-burdened treasury are jocosely i.w. i.n nnun iii 1 1 A i bug BUI- fering9of tbe Old things haviuar largely passed away, new thinirs are what the citizens aim for, ranging from a patent device to mUlionaireskip, Business has en larged and is enlarging, especially in the tobacco and grocery Tines, and the erection of numerous buildings has given an tston- Alt ishing impulse to real estate dealings. The structures reared have been generally solid and handsome ones in the fashionable portion or west end, reaching up to and beyond the Baptist College, which was a hospital for the Louisiana troops during the war.

Speculation in west-end lots yielded this last spring little fortunes of twenty and thirty thousand dollars in some instances, not to mention smaller profits. Outside of real estate, too, the spirit of speculation is afloat on the curbstones; parties who not long aero kept "sto" now stand unconflned and on the lookout for Investments in new enterprises to be caught on the fly, and amid an interchange of small talk in the open street. New manufactures are being organized, and old ones are prosperingly patronized. The iron works establishment has the contract to do the forging for the battle-ship Texas. Rich-monders are also engaged in developing the iron and coal regions of the State, where they propose to start new towns.

To bacco remains the staple, but manufactures are beginning to give it a squeeze in the race for fortune. Enthusiasts go so far as to assert that the city is already making more rapid progress than Birmingham. Alabama: although this is rather an excessive claim, tnere is no doubt that Richmond has a big trade, and is growing and prospering on tne strengtn or it. LEE MONUMENT. The monument to General Lee has been located about a mile from the city in order to give tne west ena a iair cnance to grow up to it, the future growth of the city having been held in view to avoid mistakes, as New York Jblundered iri orinally regrorainr its Canal street to be an extreme limit.

The base of the monument is well up towards completion, and the statue, by Mercie, of Paris, is promised for the unveiling ceremony in No vember, though there are whisperings to the effect that "nothinsr is certain to come off on time," and hence that both this monument and the City Hall may be delayed beyond the present, expectation. The Capitol Square would nave Deen too small to hold, middled together, Washington. Stonewall Jackson and Lee, and so the latter has been relegated to a less familiar field. Another recent improvement is a fresh coat of gray-white paint given to the CapitoL A TASTE FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL. It was not long ago an event for a citizen of the place to go to Europe, but nowadays the young Riohmond business man on a vacation makes light of running over to Europe for a few weeks' inspection.

Some who have recently had the experience report that their youthful eyes did not see a vast difference after all between America and Europe, an impression, of course, very striking, and due to the uniform changes that have occurred in both hemispheres. Folks were found to dress, live and comport themselves there as here much alike, and spoke alike, that is to say, employed about the same number of languages as heard in big American cities. English, however, was good enough for these Richmonders, and pulled them through safely. "But how did you get anything- you wanted?" "Well, we knew home prices, and figured, with a slight discount, what the articles would cost, aud generally hit it to a dot. We observed what others paid, and we fancy there was no imposition in our case." These young fellows were well up in business at the start, a great point, enjoyed their trips, and acknowledged that they had been beneficial to them, and that the like would be so to all who should keep wide-awake in perambulating on the other side of the water.

They are, however, fixed and rooted to their native home, which they regard as the very best point for development and for their own advancement. Truly, the city calls for immigration, not emigration. HE SHOT AT THE CAPTAIN. A Belligerent in tlie Wicomico An Arbitrary x.aw Port Paragraphs. Capt.

Williams, of Dougherty's tug Volunteer, reports that while coming down the Wicomico river on July 10 with six barges, bound from Salisbury to Philadelphia, the captain of one of the barges made a narrow escape from being murdered. A bay schooner was at anchor in the channel, with the main boom in a position which made it impossible to pass without the barges striking it. Capt. Williams blew his whistle and also asked the captain of the schooner to shift the boom, so the tow could clear the vessel. Capt.

Williams states that the captain refused to do so, and to prevent the six barges from beinar beached Capt. Williams kept on. One of the barges struck the boom and earried it away. The schooner captain then fired four times at one of the barge cap-- tains, who had a narrow escape, it is understood the schooner captain will be reported to the customs authorities for obstruction the channel and also arrested for attempt to kiiL MUST ENTER AT BALTIMORE. The British schooner Laura, Captain aun-ders, arrived at Havre de Grace on Tuesday from Weymouth, Nova Scotia, with a cargo of wood pulp.

As Havre de Grace is not a port of entry, Captain Saunders came to Baltimore yesterday to enter here before discharging. He was Informed by the customs authorities that unless the vessel was brought here and properly entered he would be fined $o00. No papers could be granted otherwise. Captain Saunders, having no alternative, had to procure a tug to tow his vessel from Havre de Grace to Baltimore and then back attain. He left for Havre de Grace on the tug Peerless in the afternoon.

The ruling is considered very arbitrary by shipping men, who think it could have been modified so as to save Captain Saunders tbe cost of towage, delay and other expenses. TRANSFERS OF VESSELS.

GETTING DOWN TO LIFE IN THE TENTS. Soldiers in Gay Uniforms fvm Every Section The Firat of the Boys Whoop It Cj ia JFrt-lerick. Special Dispatch to the HaStiruor Sun.l Frederick, Ji.iy 17. was twenty-four hours ago a Urge il dotted with empty tents is now live -v. bustling-Camp Jackson.

Here the militia of Maryland have settled down to their t-n days of instruction and practice in the dutk-s and tactics which will be of benefit to them when they are in actual service. On an elevation to the right of the Frederick and Geore-etown pike, about ten minutes' walk from Frederick Junction, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the thirty-two rows of twelve company tents stretch away towards the north. The ground is somewhat hilly, although on the east is a large field" which is used for dress parade. Avenues seventy-five feet wide separate the tent rows, while a broad avenue of a hundred feet extends the whole length of the camp between the company and officers' quarters. The Monocacy is about a quarter of a mile away, but its waters will hardly be used much at present for bathing, as they are very muddy.

Few trees are immediate to the tents, but the effects of the direct rays of the sun are modified a great deal by the cool breeze which has slipped over the Catoctin range and has blown, all day steadily, keeping the headquarters' and regimental colors all a-flutter as if in honor of the occasion. A red cross floats from tbe general hospital tent in the rear of the officers' quarters. THIRTEEN HUNDRED SOLDIETtS. Stewart Brown, as he stood this afternoon at his headquarters, to the extreme right of the camp, looked over about thirteen hundred men in the service of Maryland. Immediately in front of him was his old command, the Fifth Regiment, and in succession the three companies of the Third Battalion from Elkton, Easton and Cambridge, resiec-tively, the Prince George's, the Calvert county company, the Baltimore Light Infantry, the four companies of the Second Battalion from Oakland, Cumberland and Frostburg, and the First Regiment, composed of companies from Baltimore, llagerstown, Frederick, Unionville, Cntonsvilie, Towson-town, Belair, La Plata and Annapolis.

ARRIVAL or THE TROOPS. The troops began to arrive about half-past ten o'clock in the morning, disembarking from the cars at Betz road, a few hundred feet west of the junction. Each body was met and shown to its position by Captain George W. Wood, of the brigade staff, and passt'd on its inarch Gen. Brown and his staff.

The Baltimore Light Infantry, one hundred and eighty muskets, left Baltimore at eiht o'clock, carrying on its train the Calvert Light infantry and Companies and of the Third Battalion. Half an hour later the Fifth Regiment left Camden Station with about two hundred and sixty muskets. At 9.45 A. M. all of the companies of the First Companies A and left Baltimore, accompanied by the Prince George's Rifles and Company A of the Third Battalion.

THE COMMANDS IN CAMP. All of these -commands reached the camp by 1 P. M. and were soon joined by the Second Battalion. The trains ran through from Baltimore witnout stop except at Gaither's siding, where a second ennine was attached to the large trains to heip them over the Mount Airy grade.

At most of the larger stations, such as the Relay, Ilchester, Ellicott City, Sykesville and Mount Airy, large number of persons, including many ladies, had assembled, and gave the boys a handkerchief salute as they sped by. BRINGING ORDER OCT OF CHAOS. "Upon entering the camp pround each command mounted guard, and while the cooks and servants busied themselves in the mess tents preparing for dinner, the so.diers took possession of their walled tents with wooden floors, and got everything in order. Here were men carrying cots, boxes and bundles, which had been hauled from the station in large vans, others arranged the utensils, arms, in the smallest possible space inside the tents, while others raided a straw rick standing in the field and played havoo with it in securing material to stuff their mattresses. THE FIRST DLNNER.

Then came the dinner call, and afterward the regular work of the camp, which will be as follows for the rest of the time; Reveille, 5 A. surgeon's call, 5.30; police call, 5.4-"s; breakfast, 6: battalion morninsf reports, 6.30; battalion drill, 6.45 to 8.15; guard mounting-, 9: officers' and non-commissioned officers' school, 9.45 to 10.30; dinner, 12.30 P. poiiee call, battalion or brigade drill, 5 to dress parade. supper, 7.30; tattoo, 10, and taps, 10.30. This arrangement will give the soldiers plenty of exercise in the art of war, and at the same time allow them enough leisure to enjoy recreation at various hours.

THE MEN AND THEIR UNIFORMS. When all had settled down for a time after dinner opportunity was had to observe a few points about the different commands. The majority wear the regulation United States infantry unform, the Fifth Regiment and Baltimore Light Infantry wearing full gray. Most of the companies from the smaller cities or towns have a large turnout ot men, while the Fifth Regiment has rather slim ranks, only about sixty per cent of the members being present. This is a matter of regret to the officers, who compare the numbers in camp to the full showing made by the resriment in the New York centennial parade.

Some of them think that as tbe State helped to pay the expenses of the trip to New York, more men should have managed to attend the camp, which is by no means a pleasant picnic, but is desig-ned to benefit the men in many ways, and through them the State. The lack of numbers is ascribed fo several causes, the principal ona being probably the failure of the men to obtain leave of absence, though it is known hat some at least could have come had they willed to do so. WHOOPING IT TJP IN FREDERICK. A number of the militia slipped orf from camp this afternoon and in a few hours had made such an impression that Mayor Lewis H. Doll felt obliged to inform headquarters by telephone that some of the men were behaving themselves in a manner unbecoming members of the State uniforms.

The long-roll was sounded immediately by Lieuter ant-Colonel W. A. Boykin, who was brigade field officer for the day. The men came hurrying from their tents in all manner of dress and undress uniform. As soon as the names of those who were absent were learned a guard of five men from each command, making thirty in all, were dispatched to town under command of Lieutenant Harry Pennington, with orders to arrest all those in uniform who were acting in a disorderly manner or who were intoxicated.

In the 'meantime the mayor had called on General McSherry. who was living- with CoL J. S. Saunders, to assist him, as he hesitated about making an arrest. Col.

Saunders immediately bezan takin? the names of those whom he found acting otherwise than gentlemen and soldiers, but his labors were hardly satisfactory, as the men were not in a humor to give their real names. The result of Lieut. Pennington's trip was the return to camp at 8.45 of about a dozen men, wh were placed under arrest and transported in a large phaeton and a hack. They will be made an example of, and tomorrow the officers of the various commands, who are irritated at what a few men have done, will be most strict in allowing men leave to go from camp. THE BATTALION DRILL.

The battalion drills today were highly s-ratifying to the commanders of the brigade. The regiments and battalions by their work showed. that the men are btrivine to perfect; themselves in the many evolutions. Several hundred persons from Frederick witnessed the brigade dress parade, which occurred a short time after sundown. The visitors reached Camp Jackson in private conveyances, carryalls, and the many country teams which have been pressed into temporary stage service.

This feature of the encampment is likely to prove one of the most agreeable attractions to city folks, and they are arranging little parties for each evening during the remaining nine days. The officers are particularly pleased to give their time to visitors after the parade, and to explain to them tha mysteries of military life. The concerts to be sriven by the bands will also tend to detain visitors. THE REVIEW WANTED IK FREDERICK. There is some talk of having Gov.

Jackson, when he visits the camp next week, (probably the 24th.) review the brigade in Freder-erick. The residents are prepared to give them an enthusiastic welcome should they decide to come, but the way is two and a-half miles of white, ground limestone, and the soldiers would present rather a dusty appearance, which might detract from their display, but a shower 01 two would prevent this, and the reception given them would not be affected by dusty shoes and uniforms. The veterans of the Fifth Regiment wili visit Camp Jackson on Sunday by the 4 AM. rraln.and have secured a sleeper, which will be ready for occupancy at 10 o'clock on Saturday night at Camden Station. They will come in citizens' dress.

The Fifth's visit is much marred by the of Capt. W. P. Zollinger, in whose memory the colors of the regiment are draped in crape, and the officers wear crape on their arms. "West Virginia Board of Health.

Special Dispatch to tbe Baltimore Sun.l Charleston, W. Va July i7. i he State board of health reassembled this morning and transacted business ot impost- nee to tha board. The matter in relation to sanitary condition of various placi-s iuthestite was takedupand discussed.

That practical combination of science and art so much a feature of French manufac tures has an Interesting example in a model of the earth which is one of the features of the Paris Exposition. This model is a large globe, one millionth of the earth's size, and the design is carried out with such consummate accuracy and skill as to make the work a marvel, whether regarded from a scientific, artistic or mechanical point of view. The globe is forty-two feet diameter, built on a skeleton of wrought iron forming a number of meridinal ribs attached at the poles to a central vertical axis or shaft.

The outside geographical surface is hand-made mill-board, covered with plaster, painted and laid on in, 400 sepa rate panels, Dut ntting so accurately as to form an even surface and a smooth and beautiful sphere. All the geographical delineation and painting were done before the sheets or panels were fixed in their places. For tbe exhibition of the globe a twelve-sided iron and glass building covered with a dome was erected, and here the sphere is turning on its axis every day for the in -struction and delight of the world of visitors who flock to see it almost as numerously as to the ascent of the Eiffel tower to look out from that lofty perch upon the earth we Inhabit. For a world's fair this great globe the largest ever made is a highly appropriate exhibit, as well as most instructive, and the arrangements for seeing it are so perfect that the spectator cannot fail to be impressed. In the first place the surface 525 square feet is of such size that very considerable detail can be well shown upon it.

London Engineering, a scientific authority, in an admirable description of the merits and novelties of this superb work, shows that not only are the forms of countries and the contours of large districts easy to be depicted, but even cities may have their general form and size drawn to scale, ana some of the principal thoroughfares represented. For example, the city of Paris on this globe is very nearly a centimeter long, and occupies a space large enough for the Seine, -and even the exhibition, to be fairly marked, as well as some of the principal streets and buildings. Thus the actual proportions between the areas of great cities and those of continents, oceans and the earth itself are for the first time accurately shown, and, as every one Is fairly familiar with the 6ize of the city In which he lives, he is enabled by this model to form a tolerably accurate estimate of the dimensions of the great divisions of the earth. Not only are the dimensions of the seas and continents altogether different from the mental estimates one is accustomed to make, but their very positions seem to take the spectator by surprise. On the great globe at Paris the relations of things to each other are Bhown at a glance, and the effect is invariably that of a wonderful revelation to the mind, both as to distances and relative position of countries and continents, land and sea.

By far the most surprising fact that is clearly illustrated by this work, according to the Engineering Journal, is the enormous Eize of the Pacific ocean. The eye of the observer may have a considerable range of position north and south and east and. west of its central region, and yet see no land ui any direction, the whole globe seen from points within this area being only of water, with here and there groups of small islands sprinkled, as it were, over its surface. Numbers of steamer routes traced on the map are seen to come from nowhere and end In nothing. This striking feature of the Paris globe accurately reflects the proportions of the water of the oceans and the land of the continents, the five oceans being 73.4 per and the five continents 26.6 per cent, of the earth's surface.

Many details too numerous to repeat are noted 4n the Engineering Journal, tending to add to the educational value of this unique work of French skill and science. One further observation may be quoted, which is that if the model globe were rotated at the same angular velocity as that of the diurnal rota tion of the earth, its surface motion would hardly be visible, for a point at the equator, where the surface speed is greatest, would move at the rate of only about an inch a minute. "While," as the writer says, "there may be in this illustration of the world nothing new to geographers, still it may bo claimed that never before have the form, dimensions and physical features of the earth on which we live been so clearly and accurately brought to the imagination, or in a way better calculated to leave a lasting impression." The Arthur Richmond Letters. The democratic stockholders of Belf ord's Magazine not being satisfied with the political editorials of Donn Piatt, he has resigned the management of that Chicago periodical. He has since come forward and volunteered some information about the Arthur letters in the North American Review, grossly attacking Secretary Bayard, Mr.

C. J. Phelps, while United States minister to England, Mr. Randall, and several other prominent members of the democratic party. Mr.

Piatt says, with brutal frankness, that the name of Arthur Richmond "covered a syndicate of six blackguards of which he was one." Others were Hurlbert, Albion Tourgee, Abigail Dodge, (better known as Gail Hamilton,) and two whose names are not given, but they were neither the late Mr. Cazauran nor Julian Hawthorne. "Gen. Butler was selected to Join Piatt, "but declined on the ground that when he vituperated he did so over his own name." Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, Don Piatt adds," was also invited, but no article was published from his pen." Rice selected his victims, and his hired hacks "pelted away." We do not remember a series of articles in the political literature of the United States so full of slanderous imputations and bitter, malicious personalities as those published over the name of Arthur Richmond by the writers whom Don Piatt fitly describes as "a syndicate of blackguards." Mr. Thorn-dyke Rice was a wealthy man, ambitious of political preferment, and he bought and conducted the North American Review to help him in his aspirations.

He succeeded in getting appointed minister to Russia, but died while making preparations for his departure. In all the notices of his death he was spoken of as a man of fine education and a gentleman. Tbe indiscreet friend who sought to vindicate his memory from the aspersion of having written the Arthur Richmond letters by giving the names of some of the writers of them, but mistaking those of others, instead of clearing his memory has blackened It. It is now confessed that this scheme of personal slander originated with Mr. Rice, and it was his distinctionif distinction it be to have found "syndicate" of writers ready and willing to do his bidding.

A Spicy Correspondence. The correspondence between Governors Gordon, of Georgia, and Taylor, of Tennessee, in regard to the extradition to the former State of several men against whom criminal charges were pending, seems to have been closed for the present. The Governor of Georgia fired the last shot, and seems to have winged the Tennessee executive. Gov. Taylor wrote that he had just been put In possession of facts that justified him in revoking the war-ran he had Issued for Thomas McFarland and 8.

P. Condon "until he could more fully ascertain whether or not they should be surrendered." He, therefore, "respectfully asked that its execution be suspended." and that Gov. Gordon would so notify his agent. Gov. Taylor further said that when he had the matter fully stated to him, he would acquaint the Georgia's Governor with the facts and his conclusions.

Theanswer of Governor Gordon was polite but pointed. He respectfully submitted that "the jurisdiction of the executive of Georgia does not extend into Tennessee, and that he had no authority, and certainly no inclination, to suspend the execution of an executive warrant issued by the Governor of that State." In regard to Gov. Taylor's promise to have the facts investigated and to report result, Gov. Gordon says: "As to the facts, I would inform your excellency that the fugitive from justice, Condon, has been arrested and carried to Morgantown, where, before the Superior Court of Fannin county, last week, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced before your letter of the 6th inst. was written." This is the present status of the correspondence.

Funding a City's Debt. The city of Atlanta, now owes between and $2,000,000, upon which it is paying seven and eight per cent, interest. Mr. Hemphill, one of the aldermen, proposes that the oity be given the power to fund this debt Dy issuing long time four and a-half per cent, bonds. The fact that these new issues will be of long time bonds, while the present bonds run for only a few years longer, the Daily Constitution thinks it a sufficient guarantee that the holders of the nresent Donds will be willing to make the change possibly to pay a premium.

The issuance of four and a-half bonds to take the place of the sevens and eights means a saving to the city of, in round numbers, fifty thousand dollars a year. The assessment of the city of Nashville, for this year shows an increase of a million dollars in ptoperty value over last years' BsaeMment. This is an excellent showing. NssUviUe is increasing rapidly in population and manufacturing indus-t-ies especially being prosperous. In addition, it is bcom'ng i he educational centre of the great RAILROAD NOTES.

Mr. O. P. McCarty, who is promoted to be the assistant general passenger agent in charge west of the Ohio river, has been chief clerkin the general passenger department since May 1, 1688. Prior to that date he was in etiarge of passenger rates at New York with the Trunk Line Association.

He was also for eig ht years assistant general ticket agent of "the Union Pacific Railroad at Omaha. His new office will compel him to remove to Columbus, Ohio, to the great regret of the friends he has made in Baltimore.

PHILADELPHIA AFFAIRS. A New Section of the Traction Road A Change at the Mint Foreshadowed. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.1 July 17. The Traction Company put in operation today a new section of road of great advantage to the public. Its Market street cars have heretofore turned around at the top of the steep" hill above Front street, and passengers from the ferry have been obliged to climb the hill to reach the cars.

The road has now been extended to the bottom of the hill at Delaware avenue, and a continuous cable carries them around. There were several blocks today due to the iiftxperience of the gripmen, who allowed the cars to run around the curve too fast, throwing the following or train-car off the track, but this can be avoided by slowing up as the head of the hill is reached. The beauty of the system of cable traction is shown by the ease with which the loaded cars are drawn up the hill. Horse cars have never attempted it, and teams attached to loaded wagons alwavs have to tack in going up or down. The relief to the traveling public is very great.

LOOKING TO THE MINT. The mint has been shut down for three weeks while an account of stock was being taken. This is taken to indicate that a new superintendent will be appointed within twenty-four hours, as if it is further delayed and work resumed Superintendent Fox a new stock taking will be required when the transfer comes to be made. This is a costly operation, as the salaries go on for three or four weeks, though no work is done. The politicians are very anxious, as it ia their last hope for office.

Collector Cooper is tied down by civil-service rules and can make few appointments for purely political reasons, and the postoffiee offers them no encouragement, as they would be about as well off with the present democratic postmaster as with John Field in his place. HELD ON SERIOUS CHARGES. Druggist William D. Stevenson and Dr. Chas.

A. Usilton were held today to answer several charges, including one of conspiracy to abduct the new-born child of Lillie Connor, a single woman, employed as a domestic in Dr. Lsilton's house. Lillie Connor belongs in Ashland, Pa. When she came to this city and went to work for Dr.

Usilton she became intimate with Druggist Stevenson by repeated visits to his store on errands for the doctor. The result of their attachment was that last January she was sent to the house of a Mrs. Mayby, where she gave birth to a child. Dr. Usilton attending her.

Five days after the birth the child was taken away on an order from the doctor, the mother being unable to offer any resistance. The order stated that the child would be cared for by "Mrs. Jones, No. 1624 Germantown avenue." When she recovered she went to the address given, but found that no Mrs. Jones lived there or in that neighborhood.

She made unavailing search for her infant and then, under the advice of relatives, had the two men arrested. Stevenson was held in $2,200 bail and Dr. Usilton in $800 to answer. A REMINDER OF THE YELLOW FEVER. Michael A.

Lakier and Joseph Bryde have brought suit against the Mallory Steamship Company to recover damages for loss of time and inconvenience resulting from an alleged breach of contract. In November, 1888, they bought at the office of the company in this city tickets tor Jacksonville, Florida. When they went to New York to board the steamship they were told that the Philadelphia office had no right to sell tbe tickets, and that the company could not ruD its boats to Jacksonville on account of the yellow fever. They applied for their money but were refused, and were told to wait until the epidemic was over. They went aboard the boat, however, and were landed at a port in South Carolina and left to make their way further South as best they Could.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. A large increase is reported in the importations of British yarns since the decision was made which places worsteds on the same dutiable plane as woolens, but manufacturers say it is because of a demand for goods made from high lustre yarns, such as the English, and the relatively low price of the latter. Mr. Wm. M.

Singerly, of the Record, has bought ground for a banking house at Elk-ton, and for a residence for the cashier. The bank is to open in November. He has also purchased a farm of 22 acres at the same place and will stcc't it with sheep. The oil-laden British steamship Hawk-hurst, Capt. Tom Robertson, which was on fire at sea for thirteen days, is in port, pretty badly charred.

Capt. Robertson, alter a hard fight, saved two-thirds of the cargo, which was valued at $500,000, as well as the vessel. All the other railroads, it is said, will make a 6imilar reduction to that of the Pennsylvania in rates for hard coal to Chicago. The reduction was agreed upon to meet water competition Prohibition Conference In Montgomery. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.l Rockville.

July 17. A number of the leaders of the prohibition party of Montgomery county held a conference here yesterday with a view to the ooniing campaign. Mr. W. W.
