SOLDIER BOYS HOME
They
Returned Saturday N!i!ht, Tired
Weary.
HOMEWARD JOURNEY TEDIOUS
It Took the Train Occupied by tho
Thirteenth Regiment Four Hours to
Run from Gettysburg Battlefield to
Harrisburg, a Distance of Forty-six
Miles The Encampment an Easy
One for Guardsmen,
After innumerable dolaya the weary
guardsmen of tho Thirteenth regimsnt
arrived in this city from Camp Craw
ford, Gettysburg, at 10:30 Baturdty
night, having been eleven hours en
route. The city-companies proceedud
at once to their nrmories and thenoo
to their homes while company G, of
Montrose, and Company h., of Hones-
dale, departed by train for those places.
.burly Baturdav morning tho mem
bers of the Thirteenth were astir and
the work of breaking camp began, bo
anxious were soma of the boys to have
their preparations completed that they
did not go to sleep at all and also pre
ventou their less enterprising nnd am
bilious companions from securing any
rest. At 7:!j0 the camp property, ex
cept tho tents, was all snngly stored
and being trausported on wagons to
the railroad one-half mile away. All
tents were taken down by a regiment
of the First brigade assigned to tho
t isk, and sent to the state arsenal at
HHrriBburo
It was 8.30 when tho assembly drum
sonuded und a few minutes later the
soldier boys turned their backs to Camp
Crawford und started tor the railroad
where they expected to find a train iu
readiness to take them to SDrauton.
THE FIKST DELAY.
At the railroad no train conld be
Been as far as the naked eye could dls
cern and it was after 11 o'clock when
the cars for the Thirteenth regimeu
put iu an appearance. At 11.30 the
houioward journey was begun and four
hours later the train arrived at Har
rishurg, which is forty-six miles from
tho battle-field. From Hurrieburg to
Northumberland good time was made,
but at the latter place the train
was held for about an hour
and several stops were afterwards
made between Northumberland aud
this city, so that when the
guardsmen arrived in Scrauton they
were hungry, tired and not a little dis
gusted at the poor transportation fa
cilities." It is the general opinion that
a division encampment should never
ngaiu bo held at Gettysburg. The field
is abominable during Vbry warm or
wet weather, there is no place con
venient for the men to bathe and the
water is such that few of the guards
men can drink it, Added to this is the
miserable arrangements for reaching
the camp ground. The Philadelphia
und Reading company operates the
railroad running irom Ilarrisburg to
Gettysburg aud it apparently was un
prepired to handle the immense trains
that conveyed the troops to camp. It
took ttfl Thirteenth regiment five
Lours to go from Ilarrisburg to Get
tysburg when going to camp and the
return trip was only an hour shorter.
Stops and delays of every description
Were innumerable
IT WAS AN EASY CAMP.
The encampment was a comparative
ly easy one for the cunrdsiueu. They
arrived In vamp so late ou Saturday
that little work conld be done, and on
Sunday and a portion of Monday the
rain prevented outdoor work. Thurs
day was review day and but little was
done by the soldiers save to prepare for
ttiat event. As a whole far lees work
was demanded of the soldiers than at a
britiade eneampuient.
One of the annoying features of the
encampment was the amount of red
tape that was used at division head
quarters, from which General Snow
den Isiued his orders. The latter bus
an aggravated case of what be prob
ably believes is military batenr, but
which could be otherwise defiuod: and
abont bis headquarters were a number
of well governed young offlcors, who
i ran to ue as intensely snowaeutsb as
the general himself. They greatly
irritated and annoyed the soldiers aud
civilians who had occasion to visit
headquarters on business.
One good result of the encampment
Is that the men have had a good oppor
tunity of becoming familiar with the
new drill regulations and the practical
operations of the extended order.
The good work and splendid couduct
of the members of the Thirteenth all
during the encampment will do much
to increase the high esteem in which
it is held in national guard clroies.
THE TRUE SCRANTON SPIRIT.
It Welcomes and Encourages Newcomers
to Our Hospitable City.
Scranton, as we all kuow, is a bus!
ness center of first rank that attract to
it many enterprising flrmp. Mr. Mont
gomery, of Flushing, Mich., is among
the number who have been brought to
our city by its extraordinary localities
for trade. Mr, Montgomery is one of
the large feed and hay merchants ot
Mlehiiran. He opened a store in our
city, 720 West Lackawanna avenue,
some ten months sinoe. He sells at a
close margin and Mr. Riley, manager
nnp junior memoer or the tirm, is
business man of first quality.
, r t:i . .
iutissri. ivuey ana Montgomery are
about to open a depot of feed, flour and
grain which would do honor to any of
the American cities. Oar friends
would do well to patronize them,
though we by no means depreciate our
older Scranton houses to tail Hue, but
we like to tee any new house encourag
ed that comes to onr city. We believe
this to be the true Serautoniaa stiirit.
' AMUSEMENTS.
C. M. Bertram1! company of come
dians, iu the revised edition of "Hots

CONTRACT NOT SATISFACTORY.
Sterling; Silk Company Disapproves of
the Land Company's Lease.
There has been a hitch in the n emo
tions between the Fairview Land com
pany and the Sterling bilk company, of
Paterson, N. J., relative to the latter
trausferriug its plant to the West Side
plot of the former. The papers and
building plans were sent to l'aterdou,
but have not beeu signed.
The land company was to eroct the
buildings and the Sterling company
was to supply the uiaohinery aud have
an option on the purohase of the build
ing after ten years. Meanwhile the
silk company was to pay an annual
rental of 8 per cent, of the cost of the
building. They want the contract
modified and will possibly make a sat
isfactory adjustment of the quibble
during this week.
MR. MOODY COMING.
An
Immense Tent to Arrive This
Week The Groat Evangelist
to Come Later.
The Moody meetings will come to
Scrauton.
Spurred by the publicity of tho fact
that little bud been done in the central
city toward securing funds and encour
aging the movement, the West Side
clergymen have negotiated with Mr.
Moody's agents and have secured tho
promise that two tents, each with a
seating capacity of 2,000, will bo lo
cated on the West bide. One of tin
teuts will be erected this week and will
be located on one of several available
spots, The first day's services will be
held next Sunday afternoon and even
ing. Mr. Moody will come to Scranton
about Sept. 10.
Union servioos preparatory to the
campaign will be beld in
this week; ou Wednesday
iiyde rark
evening at
the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church, and on Thursday evening at
the Jackson Street Baptist church. The
West Side clergymen have undertaken
the project with the avowed determina
tion that nothing shall interfere with
Its certainty and success. The Moody
meetings were held during the past
week at Avoca.
THE KING'S HIGHWAY.
Rev. J. Eichle Smith's Sermon at First
Pr.sbytetian Churob,
Last evening at the First Presby
terian church the congregation was
treated to a scholarly sermon on the
thirty-fifth chopter of the book of
Isaiah by Rev, J. Richie Smith, of j
Peekskill. N. Y. The speaker said :
that this life may be likened to the ,
king's highway over which the trave-
r may pasa with bis trust in tho
Lord and at the end be received into
the boundless ocean of Christ's mercy
and forgiveness. i
It is the way of holiness nnd no un- ;
clean man shall pass over it. Those ';
have erred greviously against the Lord, ;
but if they leave the old life behind ,
tbem, it shall be a highway of holiness.
There is nothihg in this life that we
can make sure of; but we ure sure that
there is a boundless eternity, sure of
the everlastiugncss of God's kingdom.
The King's highway was uot built for
a perfeot man, for there are no such
persons. It was built for sinners who
do not continue to sin after having be
gun a journey upon this highway.
In sin there is discord and in grace
men are brought together. On the
king's highway there is n fellowship of
the men and women who seek tho
Lord. Of those who have joined God's
heavenly paradise, and of men aud wo
men yet to be.
At the end of the king's highway tho
skies no longer shall be overcast. Sun
shine and happiuess shall forever
reigr, and the wayfarers of life who
have sought God's mercy will enter
upun their eternal rewards.

TRAMP INFESTEDTOWH
Crimes Without Number Committed
perate Vagrants.
by Des-
AND VET TKEY ARE UN1YS0LESTED
There 1$ Fault Somewhere and That
Fault Needs Remedying Tho Only
Punishment a Tramp Need Fear in
This City Is a Warm Place to Spend
the Night and a Good Breakfast in
the Morning.
The numoiona depredations such as
burglaries, highway robberies, potty
thwftB and the like, which have occur
red with uninterrupted frequency of
lute, and the fact that this city is iu
feated with a desperate gang of trumps
combine to give the impression that
our municipal laws do not meet this
case, or some one is derelict in duty.
Within the past two weeks several
burglaries have occurred along the line
of the Delaware and IluJaou betweeu
here and Carbondalo, nnd the evidenee
goes to show that these acts were the
work of tramps. '
Many people have Dson stopped on
tho city thoroughfares and virtually
robbed, that is they have been halted
by tough lookiug characters who
would ask for money aud in such cases
refusal to grant their request meant
violence. The writer and others whom
be has engaged in conversation on the
topio have been frequently stopped ou
Lackawanna avenue and asked tn con
tribute something to ''help a poor ful
low to get a night's lodging." One
prominent man told of having been ac
costsd three times la one clock on
Lackawanna avenue, These vagrant's
are getting so bold that they do not
hesitate to seek lodgings in the differ
eut station housed.
A SOFT TOWN FOR TRAJU'S.
Any number of them hare been ar
rested, but us a rule the arrests were
made by night watchmen, especially
those stationed about the railroad
yards, where the tramps rob cars and
steal the workmen's dinners. There is
but few instances in which these des
peradoes have boon given any more
serious punishment thau a night s lodg
ing nt the station bouse, a breakfast iu
the morning aud a warning to get out
of towu.
It is just this lenioncy which is re
sponsible for the tramp nuisance. This
is a "soft" town tor the Wandering
Willies and it do"a not take long for
tho fact to become well adverlis
among the members of the "prof esh."
The lira t gung that located here t-atab
Iished a camp tire just beyond the city
line at Groewond and caused no end of
annoyance to the people of the neigh
boruood. The Diamond field, Ontario
and Western yard aud the dumps nt
the different mines soon had their
settlers and now there is scarcely an
inviting place about the citv but what
has a gang of tramps located there.
An attcha of the police department
said the police can and are ready to
gather in the tramps, but are deterred
booanse of the treatment police mngis
tratesdeal out to them. The police
magistrates say it is bad polioy to send
them to the county jail where they be
come a burden to the taxpayers.
THE REMEDY SURE AND TRIED.
This iB believed by every one who bas
given the question any thought, but
there are other methods of disposing of
the vagrants and the best method is to
put tbem to work. "Organize a chain
gang, said one officer, "aud we will
rid this town of tramps inside of
week." Other cities succeed in keep
ing tramps on the move or frightening
them 'into giving the place a wid
berth. It was done here in former
years and it can be done again. The
chain gang is an efficacious remedy
and a liberal application at this time
would effect a radical cure.
WILKES-HARRE NEXT
Rev. F. A. Dony to Eefoim That City's
Sunday Habits.
Rer, F. A. Dony will transfer the
center of his Sunday closing field from
this eity to Wilkes-Barre, according to
an accredited statement by the Wilkes
Barre Record.
Tho fall meeting of the Wilkes-Barre
cleric will be addressed by Mr. Dony
who claims to have the support and re
quests of many prominent citizens of
that city. If the Clerio receives the
proposition with favor. Mr. Dony will

Will Be TJIsoussed at Tonight's Special

considered the possible opportunity of

The project was more extensively

to be placed a short distance south of
the Oxford breaker. The greater part
of the lumber needed for construction
is already on the ground and work will
begin shortly.
All sizes ot coal from z buck
wheat upwards will be utilized. Tne
rock and bony will be crushed and
with the dirt washed back into tin;
mine. The idoa is to bore a bole six tn
eight inches iu diameter a depth of 230
or 6W) feet, thereby tapping the uia
mond, big and roek veins. The big
vein is the first to bo filled. When the
culm comes from the breaker it will bo
washed into the mine as soon as it is
made, and the dump will disappear as
rapidly ns possible. When one vein
has been filled operations will be trans
ferred to another.
The company will soon open the new
couuty vein ana ns there is but oigh
teen feet of rock between tins and the
big vein tho filling will be doue to
avoid tho possibility of a cave-in.

The recent visit of D. J. Campbell to
Washington has been the suHoot of
great comment in political circles, nnd
many are the snrmises that have been
made as to tho exact object of the
visit. Mr. Campbell would not admit
that the postoffico or tho Times figured
in the business which hurriedly called
him to the capital. To a Tribune re
porter be emphatically avorrod that bis
business there bad no relation what
ever to matters connected with Scran
ton. To the question direct as to what
the business was, Mr. Campbell gave
and evasive answer.
A GREAT POLITICAL EFFORT,
TUli Ikiuune is iu a position to say
that this mysterious trip was nothing
less than the first move iu a determined
effort to capture this congressional die-
tnct.
Mr. Campbell had hardly set foot in
Washington before the Republican
leaders in this city were apprised by
tolegraph of bis vieit and its object.
lie had an Interview with soverai of
the administration managers aud the
possibilities of u succtssful carrying
out of the project, the means thereto
aud the rewards to follow were the
subjects discussed.
It is quietly whispored that the nr.

their representative George Bell, the
well known Washington correspond
ent. The Times will be made a first
