Birmingham Age-Herald, 1894-07-01

The soldiers were all paid off yesterday for the time they have been in camp as volunteers. Governor Jones and Lieutenant Erwin are very enthusiastic over the soldierly conduct of the state troops, and especially of those who have been stationed at Ensley City the past eight days. Never before has discipline been so strictly observed io this state, and never have the boys entered upon their duties as soldiers more will willingly - ingly willingly or enthusiastically than did they ut Camp and Post Forney. The Woodlawn Light Infantry beer the honored distinction of not having a '.ingle man to get into the guard bouse luring J the past eight days, the time of their ser service - vice service as volunteers. Captain Parkes is a model commander and he has an excellent company. The boys were all glad to return home, but said they would willingly stay if the governor deemed it necessary for the en enforcement - forcement enforcement of the law and the preservation of peace TO KEDITCE THE FORGE. Washington, June SO. - Secretary Her Herbert - bert Herbert issued an order today suspending all work in navy yards that is paid for .out of appropriations for the Increases of the navy. This is caused by tho failure of con congress - gress congress to pass a naval appropriation bill, Altomey-Ueneral Olney agreeing with Sec Secretary - retary Secretary Herbert that the joiut resolution ex extending - tending extending current appropriations does not cover the matter. Ships now building un under - der under contract, including the battle ships and the armored cruiser Brooklyn, are not af affected, - fected, affected, nor will the repairs now progressing in the government yards be terminated; but the Maine, Texas, Cincinnati and Itai* eigh must remain untouched until farther congressional action is secured. The naval bureaus have kepi, barely within their ap appropriations, - propriations, appropriations, net over (30,000 remaining to tbeir credit today, but they may continue the services of clerks and workmen for an another - other another month, using a portion of the (150,? 000 made available by the joint resolution. It was ieared at first that all naval repair* would be shut down, and that barely suffi sufficient - cient sufficient money remained to keep the yard* closed and maintain an efficient force of watchmen. In that emergency it would have been necessary to call on the army to guard the naval property. As it is, 400 or 600 workmen will inffar from the ordtt which the secretary was compelled to Issue.

H EAI'QU A RTEFS 1 Alabama State Troops, Post Forney, June 30, 1894. J General Orders No. 11. The governor extends the thanks of the state to the offloers and men of the First, Second and Third regiments for the service recently rendered in upholding the laws and dignity of the state. Their exemplary conduct and discipline have increased the regard and affection of the people ior that self-sacrificing body of citizen soldiery, upon w hom in the last resort the slate must always rely to uphold and defend its honor and securo to the people the rich blessings of liberty regulated by law. A powerful public opinion will soon right the wrong done some of these patriotic men, who have rendered unselfish service and devotion to law, by employers, who, safe at home, have discharged them from employment. Officers will report immediately through the proper channels to the adjutant-gen adjutant-general's - eral's adjutant-general's office every well authenticated case of discharge by an employer ol any member of the state troops because of his obedience to orders, giving btiefly the circumstances of the case and the name and business of the employer. The press, the friends of the state troops and all lovers of law and order will be appealed to to make their in influence - fluence influence felt in lavor of those who give em employment - ployment employment to the men who have been sacri sacrificed - ficed sacrificed because they served their stato in time of need. The governor does not believe that a grateful people, when the facts are called to their attention, will allow any soldier to suffer for obedience to her laws. By command of the governor. James b. Erwin, First Lieutenant Fourth United States Cav Cavalry, - alry, Cavalry, Acting Assistant Adjiitant-Oeneral. There is yet some fear of trouble in the district, so it is said, but Governor Jones and Sheriff Morrow believed it unwise to keep the military in camps any longer. Tf any trouble does occur sufficiently grave to justify the calling out of the military it can ho done with but little delay and the ex expense - pense expense to the state will be much less than if they were kept here. However, as a precautionary measure five men will be on duty at each armory stall hours, for a few days at least, who, mounted on their wheels, can notify every member within an hour or such a matter. The men thus on duty at the armories will receive pay for their time. Serious trouble, however, iB not antici anticinntpH. - nntpH. anticinntpH.

In the third floor of the l building is a large bull, perhaps the most spacious in tbe state, which was intended and which has always been used for an armory and drill hall for the four local , companies of the state troops.

At 5 . the last meeting of tbe city council the ' negroes, in anticipation of the^iig lodge meeting here laet Thursday, petitioned that they be allowed to have a hall on Thursday eveniug ill the armory. Their fietiliou was allowed and the ball came off 11 regular order. Now the boys are red hot. They look upon the armory much as a social club room and they are scoring the council rouudly.

They say the bail has been conse consecrated - crated consecrated to the" uegroee and they propose to let them have it.
