Regt at Baggers Poinfs. (Knoxvllle Tribune and' Journal.) A general shake-up in Camp Poland was ordered yesterday, and as a result several regiment camps will be moved within the next few days. . The most unexpected of these orders was that concerning ' the changing of tntf camping ground ' of the' Sixth 'Vir ginia, Lieutenant , Colonel, Croxton's colored regiment..; The .order; .jwhjch was issued from division headquarters, is to the effect that this regiment shall move Its camp to the First Brigade, on the slope opposite that recently vacated by the First Georgta regiment A de tail of men from the regiment ' was busy yesterday afternoon getting this site in readiness and. the -camp will he moved today. From what can be learned as to the cause of this movement; It was found to be necessary on account, of the ri valry between the Sixth' Virglna sol diers and those of the Third North Carolina regiment For several days there have been many complaints of boisterous conduct In the. neighborhood of the colored camps, and the , soldiers of one colored regiment would place Kie blame on those of the other.' This caused a feeling of enmity to arise be tween the two regiments; which was growing stronger from day to day, un til they were practically at sword's points and trouble was feared. This statement of the cause of the removal of the Sixth Virginia, however, is not official, bnt the fact remains that so strong was the feeling that trouble between them was likely to break out at any time. An Illustration of this feeling was shown yesterday afternoon 1 nthe camp of the Second Ohio, when the officers of the Third North Carolina regiment were assembled there for dally officers' school. Some one informed them that the Sixth Virginia regiment was mak ing preparations to move, at which an nouncement every colored officer pres ent applauded loudly and made every demonstration of pleasure. A Journal and Tribune reporter wit nessed this scene and It struck him as being one of the most remarkable dem onstrations that he had ever seen. The Joy of these officers that their rivals were soon to move away from them seemed to have no bounds and they expressed their gratification in words as well as in their applause, . THIRD NORTH CAROLINA Hard work Is the order of the day in this regiment As. a result of the offi cers' school which Is dally held by Lieutenant Colonel Bryant, of the Sec ond Ohio, there Is a great deal of drill ing to be done. ; j , The band practices dally and is be coming more and more proficient A GREAT SUCCESa A Grand Opening at Wi' B.

LaIIaJ '-' JUSTICE FDRCHES' DECISION The Famous Mckliibnrg: Election Case Dt cided LAW CONSTKUED Justice Fnrehes Holds that No Two Reg istrar In fh Sane Prealnet Can be of the Sams HolitUal arty The famous Mecklenburg election case was decided by Justice Furches today. The following Important ruling explain; and construes the matter. Proceedings before Associate Justice Furches; Election case from Mecklenburg coun ty. J. W. Mullen and T. S. Cooper vs. J. M. Morrow, J. W. Cobb and P. M. Brown "Under chapter 185, Acts of 1898, amending chapter 169 Acts 1895, and upon the application of j. W. Mullen, chairman of the 'Republican party of Mecklenburg county and T. S. Cooper, chairman of the Populist party of said coupty, I issued a jrule upon defendants on the 20th daiy of September, 1898; re turnable before me at Raleigh on the 27th day of September, in which they are required to show cause why the prayer of ther petitioners should not be granted.. At the tlpie and places desig nated, the defendianta appeared and an swered, being" 'represented .by P. D. Walker and F. M. fihannonUouse, Es quires, as their attorneys, while the pe titioners were represented by J. W. Graham and T. K. "Pope, Esquires, as their attorneys. "This statute "being of recent date has received no construction from the courts so far as I know, and it becomes my duty to put a construction upon it for the first time: . 'The Board ,ln maktne the appoint ments of Registrars for Mecklenburg county have acted upon the idea that It was their duty to applont three reg istrars for each voting precinct. This Is so. If there Is any ope in the. pre cinct filling the requirements of the law, to appoint; hut not. If there is not "The Act, chapter 185, sec, 7, says they, "shall appoint one citizen and quallfed voter for each of the politi cal parties of and for each election pre cinct, who shall be able to read and write the English language, and who shall be known, for the duties required of them under thlB Act as registrars of election in their respective precincts." Thus It appears that the Board are not required to appoint three registrars for each voting precinct, but to appoint one qualified voter of the precinct from each one of the political parties. Dem ocrat, Populist and Republican; and that the hoard had no right or author ity to appoint a member of one party for another party; that the board had no authority to appoint two registrars from the same party In fhe same vot ing precinct. "And It being admitted by defend ants that J. A. Blackney, ' 3. R. Porter and Banks Potts are Democrats, but were appointed in the place of Popu lists, . there ,he!ng no Populists to ap point, thus making two Democratic registrars and one "Republican In the precinct, , was not authorized by the law, and they are hereby removed. "W. S. Llddell was appointed in the place of a Populist, for the reason that there was no Populist In the precinct to appoint "The defendants say he is a Republican,, and the petitioners say he . is a "Demppra .,1 shall pot .decide the question, aa It makes no difference which he nvif e 1 a" Keptfbllcan; as defendants j alfte! tneepuocaias tave two,, and, if he Is alemocrat, as the pe titioners aJlege, i the Democrats 'have two. Let It "be tiamk way or the 6tn er, . the appolntmCTt Is nauthorlxed, and he is hereby removed. "The Act of 1897,.'jamendinane Ad of 1895 makiTa,(featerTaT change Jn re gard to the irAofetirien't of registrars and Judges of ejetldn. iTJdfer tlje Act ui i.s9o me cnaunnanoi me umerent po litical parties had the right to desig nate the registrars and Judges to be appointed for their respectlv parties, and thai clerk' wa's only fcls. agent and had no discretionary. jpowers, of the wishes of tbej chtnmB.ii! were made kndwn.l on or before the' first Monday In September. But under the Act of 1897 neither the State Chairmen nor the county chairmen have any legal right. to, deslgnate,the parties to be ap- ponlted. This Is left with the board within '"orescrrbad' limits. ' The board now occupy very much the same posi tion theeterkdld under the Act of 1895; where thej chairman of a party did not file his lists In time." Justice Furches then deals with each case presented, by petitioners.

Queen Louise of Denmark died at 6:30 this morning. Every member of the royal family was present at her bedside. She has been hopelessly 111 for many weeks and only by the most careful skill was her life pro longed. She has beenunconscious for forty-eight hours, and her pulse was so weak that it was difficult to determine whether she was still living or not, oxy gen being employed by the phy sicians to facilitate respiration. She was eight-one years of age. Before her marriage to Chris tian IX., King of Denmark, she was Princess Louise of Hesse Cassel. Queen Louise leaves three sons: Prince Royal Freder ick, who married Princess Louise of Sweden; George, now King of the Greeks, who married Grand Duchess Olga of Russia; and Waldermar, who married the Princess Marie of Orleans. Queen Louise's daughters are Alexan dra, who married the Prince of Wales; Dagmar, who ia now Dowager Empress of Russia, be ing the widow of the late Czar Alexander III.; and Thyra, who married the Duke of Cumber land. The Countess of Cumber land became insane in 1387. ACADEMY OF MUSIC. "1492" opened Its season in Boston this vear. the home of Richard Har low, the first Isabella; and the critics of that Athens of America were unani mous in its praise and especially of the rendition of the role of Isabella by Stu art, the male Pattl. Boston Post of Sept. 13th, says: Bar net and Pleuger's operatic extrava ganza, "1492," still holds popular fa vor In Boston. The clever freshening bits that have sort of modernized the former success of the Boston Cadets adds much to the otherwise brilliancy of the funny burlesque of the days of Ferdinand and Isabella, and their ridic ulous confusion with the present time. A good sized audience greeted the re appearance in new dress of "1492," and gave substantial evidence of its hearty enjoyment. Much interest cetnered in "Stuart," who is known as the male Pattl, and who plays the role of Queen Isabella. , His impersonation Is one of the finest seen on Boston boards, and his admirable singing would seem to give him the right to assume the name he does.. Neil McNeil as Ferdinand gave a presentation that was worthy the ap plause so bountifully received. The Columbus of Mr. Birnes was equally acceptable, while Miss Kent as Joanna made much of the role. Miss Kent pos sesses a voice of more than passing swejtness and her rendition of several numbers was both artistic and pleas - ings. Mr. Terry as the royal treasurer and Miss Thompson as Bridget de Mur phy were notab y good. In fact, all the principals gave excellent satisfaction. (The chorus singing and dancing were fine. A prime favorite among the co terie of specialists was Miss Hilda Thomas, the inimitable singing comedi enne. The Trocadero male quartet re sponded t orepeated encores. This stupendous attraction will ap pear at the Academy of Music Friday night, Sept. 30th, 1898. Prices: Gallery, 60c.; general admis- slon. 75c: reserved seats $1.00 and IM0.
