Lieu tennnt Colo-el Lwis, of Phila delphia, is division HtafT offioer. Tlie weather was di-lihtful todav ;ind camp life really enjoyable. The Eighth regi ment, of tho Thirl brigade, was in spected at 7 o'clock this morninc, and later the entire First brigade, signal corps, artillery aul cavalry had the same experience. Governor Pattison and General Snowden and their staffs viewed the troops as they passed through the bands of the inspector, Major King, of the Twelfth regulars, offier of tint day for the Third brigade, Adjutant Millar mounted brigade guard this morning, assisted by Battalion Adjatant Conk lin, of the Thirteenth acting as brigade sergeant major Captain William KA. low of Company B is regimental oflio-r of the day aad Lieutenant Fred W. Mnson commander of the guard. There was inspection drill of the Third brigade this afternoon and the members of the Thirteenth diitin KUlshed themselvs by their proficiency in drill as tbey did during the inspin- tion of arms and accouterments on the previous day. They made better time than any other regiment in the Third brigade going through the inspection drill. Colonel Elliott, division luspeC' tor, conducted the drill which was wit nesd br many division officers. Tomorrow the First and Second brigades will have inspection drill and on Thursday there will be a division NOW ENJOYING CAMP LIFE. Now that the inspection is over the members of the '.thirteenth nave set tied down to enjoying camp life. The expectation of inspection is always a . thorn in the side of the guardsmen, and they are much pleaeed that ic has come so early this year. The members of the regiment di 1 tbemslves proud and there is no doubt that tbey will continue to oecnpy the high place in the official report of the inspection that 1 tbey have in the past. Though the boys had a great task in ridding their uniforms and shoes of a two days' accumulation of mud. they succeeded admirably, and every officer and private was as neat and spruce looking as unstinting la Dor could make them. That the regiment most favorably impressed the inspecting officers and those who accompsuied them was shown by their comments. "That the regiment is male np of tborougb soldiers is evi lent from their fine appearance and perfect mntiterly of all those little details which some members of the guard are prone to neglect, but which above everything else denotes the thoroughly trained soldier" was what Governor Pattison said. "I believe that the National guard is improving year by year," remarked Adintant (ieneral (irenland, "and the Thirteenth is one of the regiments thut is setting the paoe." "A magnificent body of men," said General Snowden. ''That is one of the crack regiments of the state." remarked one of General Bnowden's staff to Captain Rogers, of the regular army, who is watching the Inspections for the army department ''That is the cratk regiment of the state," retorted the captain as h watehed the members of the Thir teenth pass along in review. COLONEL RIPPLE CONGRATULATED. After the inspection Colonel Ripple received many congratulations on the nne sbowiug bis men made. The field for the inspection was measured off and the flies planted by Adjatant Mil lar. After the Inspection of the Thir teenth was completed the eolonels of the regiments that succeeded it on the inspection grounds sent requests to Mr, Millar for permission to avail themselves of bis work in preparing the field. It was, of eonrse granted. and shows that Mr, Millar's plans of laying ont the field found favor with the members of the other regiments, , Ihongli every ctlort was made to have Adjatant Millar accept the first lientenancy of Company B, he deolined the bouor. About a week ago he told the members of the company tbat be could not accept, but on Monday Cap tain Kdllow and a committee of the officers of Company B waits on him to have him re-conslder bis determlna tion. They were unsucoassfnl for the reason that the field and stuff and many of the line officers, as well bs the entire membership of Company E, earnestly requested Mr. Millar to continue as reuimental adjutant. Colonel Rlpnl also personally requested Mr. Millar to remain in bis position as adjutant, ana ont ot deference to their wishes, he consented. i This is Mr. Millar's eighth year adjutant, and bis perfect knowledge of tactics and the duties of his office make him an invaluable man. To him belongs much of the credit for the fino showing the Thirteenth always makes In onum . Today the field was dry and in good Condition. The spirit of tbe campers bav ' arise wonderfully since the weather cleared and they now go abont tbelr duties with great Eal The reg ular cuinp routlue wis resumed today and drills, dress parade, guard and po lice duty kept tbe boys ooonpled. To morrow the division maneuvers will begin and culminate Friday in a grnud review. There will be two division reviews of tbe troops, one for the gov ernor and the other for General Snow den. At this writing there is small prospect of President Cleveland at tending the encampment. 1 he soldiers continued to get in the Gettysburg guard house in-great num bers for leaving camp without a per mit. On Monday afternoon a Gettys burg band mad its appearance on the streets attired in the regulation Na tional guard trousers. A Philadelphia regiment was doing guard duty in the town at tbe time and tbey arrested the tmisio dispensers in a body. It re quired two hours of explaining on the part ot tbe musicians to obtain their release. The camp continues to at traot few visitors, for about the only thing the Gettysburg people like about the visitors is their mney. They seeking to obtain nil of that they can by charging big prices for everything. J. F M. GOVERNOR'S DAY AT CAMP. None of the High Offiosr of the Regular Army Ar Expsct.d. Gettysburg, Pa. Ang.' 14. Gov ernor Pattisou said today tbat neither the president, tbe secretary of war nor General Schofield will bs in camp nn- ss something unexpected turns up. In fact none of the high officers of the regular Briny will be on band, so fur as the governor knows, although all were Invited. They de cline on the plea of duties and other engagements which required their presens elsewhere. In consequence of the inability of the president. Soretary Lamont and General Schofield to oome here. Governors' Day hus been fixed for Thursday, on which day the great in spection review of the division will be held. Colonel Green is determined to pre serve discipline if he has to arrest a whole rgimnt. In faet tbe provost guards last night did arrest almost a company of guardsmon who were fight ing tbe battle of Gettysburg over again in the Battle Field hotel bar room, near the cemetery. Tbey wsre carapoied of members of the Fifth and Sixteenth regiments and the fight was short but lively. 1 he police force attempted to qnell It but were ignominonsly routed. Then tue sheriff called on the provoat guard, who charged the fighting guardsmen on a run. captured and losked them up. Today the men were severely repri manded and put to work cleaning up the woods.

Lewis and William Evans of Company D, has been arranged for Thursday evening. It will take place in the company street. The inspector complimented several of Company D's men upon the excellent con di ion of their guns. But one man had tbe slightest appearance of rust in his piece. Frank Harris, of Company A, was Colonel Ripple's orderly on Monday, and George Khoemaker, musician, the smallest man in the regiment,- was orderly to Adjutant Millar. Company G spent Sunday evening in an eminently proper manner. Nenrly every member of tbe company gathored under the mess tent and lndulgod in sing ing hymns. Privatrs BanmeUter, Evans and Faatz are gaining quite a reputation for story telling, and are constantly drawing forth laughter and applause with their jokes and anecdotes. Ted Richards, of the Thirteenth drum corps, is considered by many the best bugler in camp, not even excepting tbe strong lunged gentleman who "toots" at division headquarters. Anthony Smith, a young man employed In Company C's mess teut, was taken sick Bnnday night, and for a time was in a serious condition. Be was removed to the hospital, where be recovered. Private Ike Brown has grown fat dur ing tbe tew days already spent In camp. The cause ot Brown's corpulency is not known, unless it be owing to tbe fact that be is slesping in the oommissary tent Compauy B gave an entertainment in the company street Monday night. Tbey had It lined with large paintings of freaks to advertise the affair. Tbe piotnros were obtained at the old Eden Musee, Scranton. James O'Hara, of Scranton, is in camp with Company II, of the Ninth regiment. Mr. O'Hara is a warm personal friend of Captain Flannery, commander of company H, which is located at Pittston, and has been a member of tbe company for years. The disappearance of one ot Colonel Rip ple's spurs just before Inspection on Mon day caused no end ot agony of mind to bis faithful body servant, John Annaman. John succeeded in locating tbe spur, much to his ioy, before tbe colonel donned his riding boots. u ronte to camp Corporal Hanahoe and Privates Laugan and Jordan, of Company V of Pittston, NiutU reyiiueut, were guilty of unsolUierlike conduct aud arraigned be fore I'olouel Price. Their replies were dis respectful and Monday they were sent home pendiug a military inquiry iiito their couduct. Accordiug to the Philadelphia Record the "boys of the Thirteenth regiment have prepared a voluminous petition to Colonel Hippie to have their company streets paved with asphalt. Thov say they have secured the consent of two-thirds of the property-owners and intend to assess the rest for beuellts." Private John Mitchell, of Company F, was released from the guBrd house on Monday by Colonel Hippie and rejoined his company pending the disposition of his case by General Gobin. The latter has not yet decided whether or not the court mar tini to pass npou the case shall be called while the soldiers are in camp. A number of Thirteenth's Btnff accom panied by members of the stuff of the Fifteenth and Eighth regiments, took a gallop over the Held Monday ufternoon to view points of interest. The party was guided by Chaplin Logau, of the Thir teenth, who tnkos the greatest dolight in recounting evouts of the great three days' battle. Company C, of the Ninth regimont, has Issued a challenge to the members of the Thirteenth offering to play ball with a iy team composed of boys from that regi ment. The challenge has been accepted aud James McGoli'deriok and Buff .Million are engaged in selecting a team from the best players of tho regiment. They intend to wipe up the mirth, figuratively speik tug, with the Luzerne soldiers when the two teanu come together. It has boen decided that tho battle shall be fought within the shadow of Longstreet's old hos pital, Harry Young is the comedian of Com pany C nnd furnishes no end to merriment fur bis companions. The latter on bun day night, however, decidod that It was not proper that Harry should be compelled to furnish all the amusement and kindly lent their assistance to help him out. Young retired to his tent early and soon thereafter a noise resembling tbat of tbe Eighth rpuimeiit dram corns when in ac tive operation, accompanied by an inward movoiuent or the teut naps inuicaieu mat, Private Young was enjoying peaceful sleep. Then the conspirators weut to work and ranidlv trnn-tormea loung into bu Indian by the judicious use of colors. The next move was to carry him into the com pany street, but while that feat .was being accomplished the man nolding Young's feet slipped and down went tbe victim into tbe deep mud. That thoroughly awakened the Indian, who started in pursuit of those who had colored him. Ho was unsuccess ful in capturing anyone and does not know who uis tormenters wore, out revertneiess savs he will naint Charlev Il'imilton a bright Vermillion before camp breaks up. R. J. Beamish, the representative of the Express in camp, bad what he considers tbe most thrilling experience of his life, baring what he underwent during the re cent baseball unpleasantness at scrant iu Mr. Beamish had occasion to go to divis ion hoadouartera Sundav evening nnd ac costed the guard at tbe west extremity of tbe line to obtain permission to mvaue he.idnuarters district. Though armed with a provost marshal's pass he was directed to proceed to post one a qnarter of a mile away before passing the hue. A light raiu was falling, the muii was four iuc .es deep and Hicbard's desire to travel to post one was not very great. He argued with tbe soldier with all tue persuasive eloquence at bis command, but tbe boy with the gun had his orders and he proposed to obey them. Kicburd very reluctautlv and sorrowfully bad to wain. Putting another furl in the bottom of his trousers he started oft. His route was di rectly in front of division heHilqnarters where the horses boots had made the mud anusuallv deep. As he passed General Suowdeu's tent, the men grouped about the brass sunset gun like so many statues Htt.rae.ted his attention. The cull was on a rise, of ground above him, and while he watched the gunners, his foot went into a deep rut. vile tried to recover uis equiu hrium. and inst at. that moment tho sun set cuu was fired. Beamish was directly in front of it and. heedless of the mud, he droPDed to the ground In tho hope of pre si-rvuiir his form intact. Ho succeeded iu the luiter endeavor, but when he appeared iu Gettysburg an hour later with pale face and shaken nerves, there wer signs about his peraon of his recent conflict with the mnd. During tho rem iiuder of his stay in camp he will give Ihe sunset gun a wide berth. SET ABOUT KOHL. He Is Charged with Having Murdered His Cousin, Joseph Preinel. Strong Evidence. Newark N. J. Aug. 14 Police Cap tain Duly, of the Third precinct made formal charge of mnrder against Henry Kohl today charging him with the mnrder of Josopli Preinel. The latter was Kohl's cousin.

Tbey hove several witnesses to swoar that at 6 o clock in tne morning rkobl told them that Preinel wa drowned while the body was not discovered until noon on Saturday. SPARKS FROM THE TELEGRAPH. Mra.

DEATH ONLY :CI STOP U The Third Term Bee h Fiercely Buzzing In Cleveland's Helmet. 01.9 HOPES FOR RENORfllNATION The Great Reformer and Free Trader Laying Wires to Secure Recogni tion in 1896 Senator Teller Says That There Is Scarcely a Move Made by the Executive That Has Not This End in View An Opinion That Nothing but Death Can Pre vent Cleveland's Becoming a Third Term Candidate. Washington, Aug, 14 T it evident that tne long and bit tor fight ou the pasauge of the Wilson bill has at least served to clear up the political outlook as regards the lines on which the presidential oam paign will be conducted in 'DO. It is generally conceded on all sides that the lections this fall will be the skirmish prior to the great battle two years later, and already tongues ar wag ging and political leaders prospecting as to who will be the victorious stand ard bearer. No one doubts but that the presidential fight will be one of tbe hardest aud sharpest ever fought, and that the burniug question will be the reinonitiZ'itiou of silver. The follow ers of the white metal are daily making urge acquisitions to their forces, and he indications are tbat tbe tariff dis cussion will be a secondary issue. It is iu view of the fact that the silver men propose to make the money question tue paramount issue in th next campaign that politicians are casting about lor a leader who has the winning qualities. Curiously enough, both in the Democratic- and ltupuull- can parties tbe candidates who are most talked about are already trim uiiug their sail for the coming silver breeze. Among the former may be mentioned Senators Hill, Gorman and Biice, Secretary Carlisle and Via President Stev.icson; while among the latter are ' .loin Heed, liovernor Mc- Kinley, tx-President Harrison, Sena tors Cameron and letter and other. only death can stop HIM. But besides all these possible candi dates there is another thut promise to come to the trout, and that is Grover Cleveland. Senator Vance, of North Uarulina, whose knowledge of meu aud tuiiigd was most remarkable, used to tell bis friends a year ugo that Cleve land would make auother race for the presidency, and that nothing but death would prevent him from ruuniug for a third term, iue question of bis candi dacy at taut time, meroiore, turus on tho wisdom of putting bun up, like Preaidont Grant, for a third term, and the views ou mis budjjcI expressed lu cloak and committee rooms around the capitol are more or less varied. For the past week or more the writer bas been gathering the private views of members of congress regarding the third term candidacy of Mr. Clnvelaud. aud, strangely euongh, not a Republi can iu either home was found who did not believe that the president would be 'the man of destiny" lu U0. Among tne Democrats, in many lnstaucos, the wish was not tathur to the thought, for the presidents rr lends in either branch ot the national legislature are by no means as thick rs the "haves that strew the brooks iu Vullombrosa." But tne feeling seeinud to be gtiuiug ground that there was no escape from such u dilemma lu view uf the eigue of tne tiiuug. But the queition of Mr. Cleveland's third-term canvass is pivoted on the exigencies of -.the political situation, aud not merely on his availaulity, and whether or not he is actually cocniz ant of "the logic of events," no one but he can say for a certainty. But the political prophets say that the presi uuiii is tuorouguiy awake to thu situi tion nud is planning and suiting hi actions accordingly. EVERY MOVE AN INDICATION.

Senator Cbaudler, of New II amp shire, (poke in the same strain mil in tim.tted that nothing but death woul prevent a consummation of tbat kin so devoutly wished for by the present Incumbent of the white hous. Other senators and representatives expressed themselves in a similar Key, aud oon gressmen, like English, of California were outspoken in admitting that ''all things were possible with Cleve land, as with tbe Creator of th Universe," Congressman Bellamy Storer, of Cincinnati, said he really wished Cleveland would rnn, for n "wanted to get a lick at him again.
