later the entire First brigade, signal

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.

Young retired to his tent early and soon
thereafter a noise resembling tbat of tbe

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

who uis tormenters wore, out revertneiess
savs he will naint Charlev Il'imilton a

R. J. Beamish, the representative of the

tbe most thrilling experience of his life,

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.

That There Is Scarcely a Move
Made by the Executive That Has

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.
