AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL. A Formidable Array of Charges Against Judge Advocate-General Swaim. The Peculiar Place of Residence Selected bj a Pension Office Clerk—Condition of the Public Debt—General Notes. GENERAL SWAIM. rhe Charges on Which the Judge AdvocateGeneral Is To Be Court Marttaled. Washington, Aug. I.—Major Scott, Judge Advocate of the court-martial appointed to try General Swaim, has prepared the charges upon which that officer will be called to account The charges are, first, conduct unbecoming .an officer and gentleman; second, neglect of duty. The specifications under the first charge, after reviewing the transactions between General Swaim and banker Bateman, allege, first, that the former accepted from Bateman & Cos. an acknowledgement of a deposit of $5,000, which was a simple memorandum, and, after withdrawing all but $33 of that sum, he assigned and transferred the written acknowledgement to the firm of Bright, Humphrey & Cos., and did thereupon knowingly and fraudulently seek, through said firm, to compel Bateman & Cos. to cash the $5,000 acknowledgment, thus attempting to commit fraud upon said Bateman & Cos. The second specification alleges that General Swaim improperly sought, in a personal interview with Bateman, to evade and prevent an investigation, and to obtain from him a letter retracting the charges preferred. The third specification alleges that when grave and serious charges were referred to General Swaim, and had been publicly circulated, he failed to demand or request an investigation by a court of inquiry, but addressed a letter of explanation and denial to the Secretary of War, which was evasive, uncandid and false, and calculated and Intended to deceive the Secretary of War in several particulars regarding his transactions with Bateman. The fourth specification alleges that Gen. Swaim, upon learning that certain bankers had entered into a combination to secure reimbursement for sundry sums of money advanced by them to Lieut-Col. A. P. Morrow, of the Sixth Cavalry, on fraudulent pay accounts, and that the values of said combination depended upon Col. Morrow’s immunity from trial for the utterance of fraudulent pay accounts, did threaten to use his official position and his knowledge so as to cause the dismissal of Morrow from the army, or to otherwise impair the value of the securities given by Morrow to the hankers, unless they provided for payment of a claim of slls held by him (Swaim) against Morrow. The second charge, that of neglect of duty, is based upon General Swaim’s failure to report the facts or procure the prosecution of Morrow, on the charge of duplicating pay accounts, when evidence of the offense came to his knowledge through information received from Bateman. It is understood that further investigation is being made with a view to bringing additional charges against General Swaim. The charge against Colonel Morrow, of triplicating pay accounts, will be investigated by the same courtmartial. A HOUSE IN A THEE. The Peculiar Place of Abode Selected by a Pension Office Clerk. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Washington, Aug. I.—Mention has frequently been made in the press of the pecular places of abode of two of the quondam residents of Washington. Joaquin Miller's log hut attracts hundreds of visitors, and is a source of wonder and astonishment to those who never saw a backwoods clearing. But perhaps the queerest freak in the' matter of dwellings is that of a pension office clerk, who has a house in the top of a walnut tree on Mount Pleasant, which is a suburb of Washington. This tree house was first discovered about a year ago. It was then built in the houghs of a giant maple. Recently the occupant, Mr. A. B. Hayward, concluded to change his resi dence to a site more exalted, and he chose a tree further up the hill. The house itself is built on a large platform constructed around the trunk, thirty feet above the ground, and supported upon four heavy timbers. It is hexagonal in shape and about 10x14 feet inside. It is built of matched pine, to a height of six feet, and the toof is composed of canvas awnings, so arranged as to admit of being raised or lowered at the will of the strange occupant of the hut. That Hayward is a man of taste, in spite of his strange abode, is evident from his personal appearance and the adornment of his home. He is a man of middle age. of fine appearance, and is devoted to literature. His house is hardsomely furnished, and contains a very good library of standard works. The platform surrounding the hut serves as a sort of garden, and abounds with easy chairs, hammocks and other contrivances for comfort. The entrance is effected by the aid of stairs, which reach down to within six feet of the ground, and a step ladder, which is drawn up to the platform when not in use. Hayward gives as his reason for imitating the islanders of the Indian ocean in the selection of a dwelling site that he believes the sanitary conditions of th£ altitude are better than on the ground floor, and that it is more “exclusive.” He has been classed as a “crank” because of his love for rarified air, but as he is of a sociable turn and is said to be an excellent clerk, there is no other reason to accuse him of unsoundness of mind, except it be thafhe occasionally “drops into poetry.” INDIA WHEAT. The Amount Raised and the Cost of Labor Employed. Washington, Aug. L —The announcement that the English government is going to put $150,000,000 in railways in India, providing the name amount will he invested by private enterprise in that couutry, is looked upon here as a Blatter of very grave importance to the agricultural interests of this country. Already England has the best facilities for tho transportation of wheat between India and England, and indeed between India and all other grain consuming countries. The subsidies granted to these iron steamship lines by England have already been so great that the markets of that country have been threatened with grain at very low prices from India. 'The chief obstacle to this has been the lack of transportation in India. With $300,000,000 to put into railways this obstacle will be overcome. And with “ryot” labor in India at from seven to ten cents a day it is easy to see how cheap wheat may be raised. The “ryot," or agricultural laborer, of India is very numerous. He numbers several times as many as the entire population of the United States. - His methods of cultivation are very primitive, but with hundreds of millions of these seven-cents-a-day fellows stirring the ground with sharpened sticks, drawn by lean oxen, which, like their owners, are not overfed, the wheat produced is something marvelous. One of the consular offi cers, writing to the State Department recently, said that, iu his opinion, this was the most serious obstacle that the agricultural interests of this country would have to contend with. There are such large numbers of these Indian agriculturists that they can produce wheat for almost nothing. In this communication he stated frankly that should the question of cheap transportation be solved by the construction of railroads or canals, in connection With the present facilities, tho results upon the

wheat-growers of this country might be very serious. Tho agriculturists of that country he says, are unlike our growers. These people are willing to wait until the market is high before disposing of their products. They have little use for money so far as their habits of life go, and as they produce everything they eat, they oan afford to keep their grain until they can get their prices. He says they have a habit in that country of storing the wheat in the ground, digging pits and lining them with straw, and thus keeping the grain for years if necessary. THE BALANCE-SHEET.

The Sub-Marine Jonrneyings of the Hulk of a Wrecked Vessel. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Aug. I.—The queer sub marine journeys of the wrecked schooner Maggie M. Rivers, which went down off the coast of North Carolina last January has been heretofore noticed in these dispatches. Up to June 14, this wandering hulk had drifted in an easterly direction nearly 400 miles, and then, in the form of an irregular circle, had traversed 320 miles more of the ocean’s bed. A United States navy vessel again reported the wreck this week. This time the course is changed, and the Rivers is now 120 miles due west of the place where she was last discovered, and is seemingly headed for the spot where she originally sank. The strange point about this last drift is that she seems to be working dead against the current of the Gulf stream, as noted on the pilot charts of the hydrographic office. , . .General Notes. Washington, Aug, L —Mrs. Senator Voorhees and daughter, who have been in Europe,' have arrived in Washington. Miss Voorhees has been abroad over two years pursuing her musical studies, and Mrs. Voorhees joined her early last spring to accompany her home. Under the act of March 3, 1883, the sum of $17,201.63 has been awarded postmasters and late postmasters in Indiana, as back pay. Representative Culbertson is considered out of danger. R. B. Webb, a pension attorney of this city, suspended from practice some time ago, has been restored. THE EXTREME PENALTY. The Rope Slips and a Negro Murderer Is Slowly Strangled to Death. Nbw York, Aug., I.—Alexander Jefferson, the negro who, in a jealous rage, killed Henry Hicks and Emma Jackson, also colored, and nearly killed Anna Jackson and slightly wounded hiß brother, Celsial Jefferson, at Mr. Jackson’s residence, Brooklyn, was hanged this morning, in the presence of 400 spectators. Before his execution he handed the sheriff a list of persons to whom he wished his photograph given. He ate his breakfast with evident relish, and dressed himself in anew black suit presented him by the sheriff. He was kept in conversation by his spiritual adviser up to the time he was led to the scaffold between two olergymen and the noose placed round his neck. ■When Jefferson was placed under the gallows, one of the clergymen said: “Jefferson has forgiven all his enemies.” Shortly after the rope was cut, and Jefferson’s body shot up into the air. The knot slipped round under his chin, and his neck was not broken. For a moment he remained motionless; he then kicked, struggled, and groaned as he slowly strangled. By a desperate effort he got his right hand up to the rope and tore the black cap from his face, exposing its contortions and his staring eyes. After he tore the black cap away, his hand fell down to his side. The contortions and convulsions of the body continued five minutes. Life was pronounced extinct eight minutes after the rope was cut. The body was sent to the morguo. Execution at Cambridge, Md. Cambridge, Md., Aug. I.—Frederick, alias “Bug” Cephas, colored, was hanged at noon for for the murder of Mrs. Celia Bushmurphy, April 7. At 12:10 Cephas was led from his cell to the scaffold. Passing in view of 300 people he ascended the scaffold singing, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul." He was accompanied by a clergyman. He made a few remarks, confessing the crime, and, prayer being offered, the black cap was adjusted. He bade good-bye to his attendants, and professed a readiness to die, when the sheriff cut the rope. The cap was not securely fastened and blew off, exposing the distorted features. Death resulted in a few minutes from strangulation. Three Men Hanged for Arson. Scottsboro, Ala., Aug. L—George Smith. Asbury Hughes and George Hughes, all white and under twenty-five years of age, were hanged here at 1 p. m. to-day. They were convicted of burning the house of Henry Porter, on Sand mountain. It was the first instance of the death penalty beinge enforced for arson in the first degree in this State. They were baptized just before they left the jaiL George Hughes tried to inflame the crowd by a speech from a window of the jail, and succeeded in creating considerable feeling. Smith also made a short address from a jail window, denying his guilt, but confessing other crimes. Anbury Hughes also made an address, denying his guilt. Preparations for Receiving the President. Kingston, N. Y., Aug. I.—Big preparations are making to give President Arthur an enthusiastic welcome to-morrow.

I.—Bishop Grace, on account of old age, lias resigned as Bishop of this diocese, and at his request Bishop Ireland succeeds him, with the approval of the Pope. Weak Backs. Old chair-backs are now rejuvenated with pretty bits of fancy colored satin and silk in curious shapes. Folks who have weak backs and are otherwise debilitated, find strength and comfort in Brown’s Iron Bitters, which makes them good as new. This famous iron medicine has worked wonders for the weak and weary. Mrs. E. R Smith, Whitehall, Mich., says “I usedit with great benefit for stomach and liver

A GREAT SPORTING EVENT. Mr. Case’s Famous Jay-Ej r e-See Lowers the Trotting Record to 2:10. The Double Team Record Also Beaten —Both Feats Performed at Narragansett Park, in the Presence of a Great Throng. BEATING THE RECORD. Jay-Eye-See Trots a Mile in 3:10 Tlie Double-Team Record Also Beaten. Providence, Aug. I. — Jay-Eye-See, on tho Narragansett Park track, to-day, surpassed all previous performances, making a mile in 2:10, thus beating his own previous record of 2:10}, and that of Maud S., 2:101. The crowd also witnessed the famous black gelding, H. B. Winship and mate, beat their double-team record of 2:091, and that of Frank and mate, of 2:081- The postponement of these events from Wednesday last was a great disappointment to prominent turf men in all parts of the country, and the heavy rain of Thursday night threatened to compel relinquishment of the exhibition. The genial sunshine and invigorating air of Friday, however, were welcomed with widespread enthusiasm, and Track-master Griffin speedily brought the circuit into admirable condition, although the surface was not as firm and springy as he desired. Early iu the afternoon trains brought thousands of sportingmen from all sections of the country, and among the notables were Fred. Vanderbilt, Isidore Crohnfeld, owner of Maxy Cobb and Helene; Isaac Bell, jr., George Peabody, W. O. Moore, George K. Laurence, Decourcey Forbes, J. H. Bradford, H. W. T. Mali, president of the National Horse-breeders’ Association, John Shepard, A. Wright Sanford, Dan Walton and others. Prominent among the drivers were Dan Mace, John Murphy, E. D. Bithers, J. B. Gilbert, James Golden, Tom Foster, W. H. Sargent. The grand stand, which accommodates G,500 persons, was quickly filled, and hundreds of carriages lined the west side of the the track, It is estimated that 10,000 persons were present at the hour of starting. The owners of the favorite horses, Jay-Eye-See and H. B. Winship, Messrs. J. I. Case and- Barnaby, were in the middle tier of the grand stand, with their wives, and watched the events with intense interest. Pool booths were in active competition, and the betting on the Ebon trotter was at odds of $25 to $lO that he would beat the record; while Winship and mate were firmer favorites. The judges selected were John Shepard, of Boston; Frank S. Stevens, of Swansea, and E. G. Windsor, of Providence. The first event, the trial of Jay-Eye-See, was promptly called at 3 o'clock. Long before the time set for beginning the trot, every seat in the enormous grand stand was filled, while every point favorable to a good view of the track had its occupant. Presently there was a movement in the direction of the stables, and Ed Bithers, driver of Jay-Eye See, was seen preparing to jog the little wonder, his purple cap and driving jacket making him a conspicuous figure in the group in front of the quarters of the horses. Jay-Eye-See was brought out blanketed and was soon hitched to a sulky. Bithers took his place behind him, and the little flyer, followed by a crowd of admirers, jogged to the gate leading to the stretch. As the multitude in the grand stand caught sight of the famous horse a shout of greeting swelled forth which was taken up by the groups in other parts of the grounds, and as the noble animal turned into the stretch and passed down in front of the judges’ stand the applause rose in a deafening cheer. The circuit of the track was made at an easy gait, and, after one or two more turns, Bithers signified his intention to go an easy mile and warm up. The announcement was made by the judges, and Jay-Eye-See came down at an easy pace for the word. He went away from the wire trotting evenly and without a flaw, though, of course, Bithers had to hold him back. He went away from the quarter post in thirty-live seconds; the second quarter was somewhat slower, and he passed the half in 1:124, and the three-quarters in 1:494, jogging under the wire in 2:224. The horse was then taken back to the stable to be rubbed down. John Murphy here came into the stretch behind Cohnfeld’s Maxy Cobb, to give her a warm-ing-up heat previous to making an attempt to beat Phallas’s record of 2:135. The circuit was made at an easy gait, and the mare passed under the wire in 2:32 H. B. Winship and Phallas were next brought out, Jim Golden handling the ribbons behind the black gelding, while Bithers was behind the stallion. The two flyers were sent away together for a warming-up heat, and trotted eveniy around to the finish, the mile being made in 2:374THE GREAT EVENT. After this came the great event of the day, and the greatest event of the history of the trotting turf. Jay-Eye-See came on the track, and as he swung into the stretch, the judges announced that he would make an attempt to beat his record. Jim Murphy, behind his own running horse, was also on the stretch, limbering out, as he was to go a mile with Jay-Eye-See to give the little flyer courage and force him to a faster gait if necessary. After jogging up and down the stretch once or twice. Jay-Eye-See, turned at the distance stand and came down to the wire for the word. He was working magnificently, and as “go" was shouted by Mr. Windsor, the little gelding sped away around the turn with the runner about two lengths behind. Never did horse work more evenly than did Jay-Eye-See as he sped around the turn, and it seemed as if he was a piece ,of machinery, and not a thing with life, so perfect was his action. Up the quarter he went in 334, with the runner trailing four lengths behind, and as he sped into the straight, Bithers cut him loose. Faster and faster were his strides, and it was evident that “Ed” meant to send him. At the half the watches registered 1:05, a 2:10 gait, and if he could hold his own for the last half he would accomplish an unprecedented feat. Around the upper turn it seemed as if he was flying, and, fast as had been his gait on the back stretch, it was forced up now to something terrific. On and on he went, without suspicion of a break, passing the three-quarter post in 1:39. At this point the runner pulled up even with the trotter, and now began the final struggle. Down he came without a skip, every stride telling the momentous race against the fast-flying seconds. Bithers had not yet used his whip, and as the gallant flyer sped down to the stand and under the wire, there was a momentary bustle, and then suddenly the cry, .“He has done it!" is raised by those among the spectators who have timed him. A loud burst of applause greets the announcement, only to be followed by a much more enthusiastic demonstration “as the board swings around with the record, “2:10” upon it* Never on race track has there been a scene of wilder excitement than followed this announcement Hats, canes, handkerchiefs and fans were waved, while men shouted themselves hoarse in cheering the “King of the American Turf.” When Bithers came back to the'stand with Jay-Eye-See, a magnificent horse-shoe of flowers was presented him, while around him fathered a group of admiring friends offering earty congratulations. Mr. Case, the owner of Jay-Eye-See, was overjoyed and received a shower of congratulations with the plainest manifestation of delight f THE NEXT EVENT. tr \j ; Maxey Cobb next made a trial heat to beat 2:13}. She was accompanied by a runner, but broke after passing the quarter, and had to be pulled down almost to a walk. She walked around the track and was given another start She made the first quarter in :334, the half in 1:06, and the mile in 2:15}, the fastest heat she has ever trotted by 1} seconds. During the time Maxey Cobb was trotting, Winship and mate were on the track, warming up, for their effort. After circling the track once or twice the pair came down the Btretch and Jim Golden nodded for tho word, when the pair were sent away in good style. Winship trotted around the turn in faultless style, al though his mate. Gabe Case, was lagging a little. Up to the quarter they went iu :304i without a hitch of any kind. Once on the straight Golden cut the trotters loose and their Gait was forced up, although Win-

ship was doing most of the work, and seemed to be pulling the run Der. He was at the half in the unprecedented time of 1:014, a 2:03 gate. Here Golden began to hold Winship for the finish, and the runner was allowed to do a little of the work around the upper turn. The third quarter was covered in 1:344, and then the team swung into the stretch for the closing struggle. Down they came, Winship pulling his mate so that Golden had to put the whip to the runner to keep him up to his work. Winship was trotting as evenly as clock work, and as ho came under the wire in magnificent form a shout rose even on the judges stand, and in a moment the applause which greeted the announcement of the time—2:o6 —was deafening. Thus Winship and mate have accomplished the great feat of reducing, by two and a half seconds, the famous record of 2:08J made by Frank and mate. OTHER SPORTING* NEWS.

MUTINY AND MURDER. A Captain Killed by His Crew and the Cargo Appropriated to Tlieir Own Uses. Philadelphia, Aug. I.—A startling story tli at the crew of the schooner Julia Baker, from New York for Point au Petre, had mutinied, killed the captain, John Lewis, and been selling the cargo in the West Indies, led the owners of the vessel, Warner & Merritt, to send the following dispatch by telegraph to-day: To the Collector of Customs, Key West, Fla.: We have reason to believe Captaiu Lewis, of the schooner Julia Baker, has been murdered, and that a porson so calling himself is an imDOster. Kindly ascertain what has been going on, why tho vessel Seriated from her course, what has become of her cargo, and all particulars. Things appear very mysterious and demand sharp investigation. Telegraph full particulars quickly. WARNER & MERRITT. The following answer was received: Key West, Fla., Aug. 1. Warner A Merritt, Philadelphia: The master assigns no reason for deviating from the eoni'se. He has noted the protest, claiming the foremast is sprung and the vessel leaking. A survey has been held to-day. He recommends the discharge of the cargo. The original manifest is lost. The lumber was washed overboard, and a portion of the flour is missing. The master's statement is rambling and conflicting. Send description of original captain Lewis. We have taken possession of the vessel, and are awaiting your further instructions. Ramon Alvarez. It is said the Julia Baker has been cruising in West India waters selling her cargo, which consisted principally of flour, at rates much below the market prico. Capt. Lewis was about forty years of age, rather tall and stout, and the description of the present commander is altogether different.
