    THE fiCRANTON TRIBUNE SATUR DAT MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1895.
GEN. CLEVELAND'S REPORT
Exhaustive Review of the Condition
of the National Guard.
ENCAMPMENT AT GETTYSBURG
Slnth Regiment Company Commander
Soored for Sprcuding Typhoid Fever
in the Camp-Suggestion In Refer
nee to New Rifles l'rcc of Cost.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
HarrUburs. Pa., Jan. 11. The annual
appropriation for the expenses of the
National guard of the state is not suf
ficient to keep It on the high plane It
has now attained. The expenses of the
guard constantly Increase from natura!
causes. For example, the Horn of pay
alone, for the reason of full ranks in
the companies and re-enlistments, was
greater last year than in 1S93 by over
J7.000, an Increase of $11,000 over 1891.
As this money goes directly to the en
listed men, says Adjutant General
Greenland In his annual report to Gov
ernor Pattlson for the year Just closed,
the account cannot be in any manner
curtailed.
The adjutant general recommends
that In addition to the forces now
mustered In there should be an engi
neering corps attached to the division
headquarters; also, an additional bat
tery of artillery and a troop of cavalry.
He also recommends that the appro
priation be Increased from $320,000 to
j:)50,000 a year, that the number of
copies of the annual report of the adjut
ant general be increased to 1,600 and
that a competent person be detailed by
the adjutant general to ascertain what
flags of Pennsylvania regiments are In
possession of the war department at
"Washington, and that the legislature
tie requested to pass a resolution that
congress return these flags to the state.
Wants New Rifles Free of Cost.
General Greenland suggests that the
legislature follow the example of New
Tork and other states by adopting reso
lutions requesting congress to pass an
act to Issue the new magazine Krag
Jarhensen rifle to the national guard
of the different states free of cost.
These rifles cost $20 apiece and to arm
the guard of this state with this gun
.Would involve an expense of $170,000.
The balance due the state at the end
of June 30, 1S94, was $4,192.92. The al
lowance for the year ending June 30.
1895, Is $27,603.80. The total expendi
tures to Nov. 30, 1894, were $17,776.32, as
follows: Arms, $2,732; accoutrement,
$1,768.23; horse equipments, $."07.46;
tents, $2,697.41;- miscellaneous, $350.72;
balance due, $13,930.20.
The Guard's Value.
Under the head "The value of the
national guard" the adjutant general
. reviews the valuable services rendered
Tiy the guard in the suppression of riot
und disorder in Westmoreland and Fay
ette counties In April, 1891; at Home
stead In the summer of 1892, and last
year In the coke regions of Western
Pennsylvania and bituminous coal
fields. Of the movement of the troops
to Homestead the adjutant general
says:
"The history of this movement has
been written and re-written, has been
commented upon by military men, not
only of the entire United States, but
of foreign countries as well, as one that
as atiupiy uupui uueieu. xneoucupu.iit.il
of the town by this body of troopsi con
fronted as It was with over 30,000 Idle
workmen, within a circle of a few mlls
of the place, in a little while putting
an end to the riot without the shedding
of a drop of blood, was simply wonder
ful and unprecedented."
General Greenland estimates the
number of enrolled men in the state
subject to military duty at 800,324. The
aggregate strength of the guard on
Sept. 30 last was 8,934. a gain of over 322
during the year. The strength of the
several organizations fiept. 30, 1894, was
as follows: Commander In chief, com
missioned officers, 23; enlisted men, ", ;
total, 28. Major general and staff
commissioned officers, 12; enlisted men,
6; total, 18. Ffrst brigade Commis
sioned officers, 206; enlisted men, 2,697
total, 2,913. Second brigade Commla
niorted' officers, 244; enlisted men, 3,020;
total, 3,264. Third brigade Commis
eloned officers, 209; enlisted men, 2,512
total, 2,721. Aggregate Commissioned
officers, 694; enlisted men, 8,240; total
.8,934.
The report states that the average of
the spring inspection, as a general rulo,
does not appear as favorable as those
of the previous year for the reason
that the standard of excellence has
' been advanced and suggests that the
Inspector general, the division and brl-
gade Inspectors and representatives
from the line and staff be called to-
gether for the purpose of formulating
a uniform system of ratings.
As to the division encampment of the
guard at Gettysburg last summer the
adjutant says:
A STUDY OF FACES,
No matter where you go, will show
you how many, many people ought to
be taking Carlsbad Sprudel Salt.
There's the thin, peaked face that
tells of perverted nutrition. There's
the fat, puffy tace of flatulent obesity
There's the otherwise pretty face that':
marred by skin disorders and crup
Hons; the yellow, haggard fucc of the
dyspeptic; the dull, drawn faces of suf
ferers from stomach and liver and kid
ney troubles.
All these people need the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt It goes to the 'root of
the whole matter. It purifies the blood,
dissolves obstructions, clears the syi
tern, and cures permanently, in a na
ural way, every derangement of the
stomach, bowels, liver aud kidney
Kewarc of the many imitations sold as
"improved" or "artificial" Carlsbad
Salt These generally consist only of
ordinary Seldlitz Powder and. Glauber
Salt, sold by unscrupulous dealers
upon the reputation of . the Genuine
Carlsbad Salt i:" ' '
The only genuine Imported Carlsbad
Salt has the signature of "Eisner &

"The supplies of' quartermaster and
commissary stores were ample in quan
tity and of the best quality that could
be purchased; and with the exception
of the delay In returning of the troops
at the closing of camp, caused by the
limited number of cars and motive
power furnished -to the division super
intendent of one of the roads running
Into Gettysburg, the camp was a. com
plete success In every particular. The
division oommlsary Issued to the troops
66,974 rations at a cost of 19 cents each.
Theunl'formof thetroops was in better
condition than ever before. The new
equipment, for which an appropriation
was passed by the legislature of 1S93,
Is now complete; and In addition to this
equipment, rubber blankets, haver
sacks and other articles at an addition
al cost over and above this appropria
tion of more than $20,000 have been
furnished from the quartermaster's
stores of the state arsenal.
'The expenses of the encampment of
the guard at .Gettysburg last year were
for several reasons excessively heavy,
the items of transportation alone be
ing over $10,000 In excess of any former
year, owing to the camp being located
almost iui the southeastern border of
the state, thus necessitating a greater
distance .for the troops to travel. In
addition to that the largely increased
percentage of attendance swelled the
payrolls to an amount in excess of any
former year being more than $7,000 In
excess of 1S93 and nearly $11,000 over
and a'bove 1891. The amount of pay
rolls for 1894, in comparison with other
years, Is as follows: ,1890, pay ot troops
(five days), $80,213.21;' 1891, pay of troops
(eight days), $132,473.82; 1S92, pay of
troops. Homestead riots no camp; 1S93,
pay of troops, $136,052.75; 1894, pay of
troops, $145,319.96."
Part of the Ninth Regiment Seorcd.
Adjutant General Greenland continues:
"A portion of the excess in pay comes
from Ue re-enlistment pay of 25 cents
for each re-enlistment, and unless a
change is made a large Increase will be
absolutely necessary In the appropria
tion. Under the present mode of rating,
company commanders fill their com
panies before going to camp and have
in many cases discharged members of
their companies wtu could not go to
camp and lllled their places temporari
ly with substitutes who were present
In camp, but were in their turn dis
charged immediately after returning
home. In addition to the Injurious ef
fect upon discipline this practice neces
sitates also the bringing Into camp of
many men who are unlit for duty and
not only require state care and atten
tion while there, but also endanger the
lives and health of other soldiers, as In
the case of company F, of the Ninth
regiment, a careful and exhaustive ex
amination of which, by the surgeons of
the regiment, showed that one man,
who was unaible to do duty from the
hour he reached camp until his depart
ure for home, was detailed to act as an
assistant cook and waiter In the mess
quarters of his company and (In the
expressive words of the surgeon in
making his report) was a case of walk
ing typhoid fever. On their return
home twenty-two members of this com
pany had contracted the fever, and of
that number three died as the result of
coming in contact with this man."
In view of these facts General Green
land recommends that a surgeon's cer
tificate of sickness should In future lie
accepted as sufficient cause for the ab
sence from duty of any officer or en
listed man and that an application
for leave of absence duly approved by
the regimental commanders be simi
larly treated.
The Guard's Expenditures.
The expenditures of the guard from
Dec. 31, 1893, to Dec. 30. 1894, were as
follows: Quartermaster's department,
$20,022; subsistence department, $13,-
097.55; transportation department, $12,-
410.54; rifle .practice, $1.1.471.79; horse
hire, $8,790.16; surgeon general, $939.80;
inspector general, $2,270.52; court mar
tial, $130.89; miscellaneous, $7,265.15; in
dividual pay, $143,319.98; annual allow
ances, $67,385.41; armory rent, $28,300;
total, $319,401.39; to credit of adjutant
general Dec. 1, 1894, $107,751.25.
The report shows that the division
now contains 8,475 qualified marksmen,
a gain of 818 since 1893, being 410 less
than the total strength of the guard.
This number comes largely from the
staff officers, cavalry, artillery, and the
naval 'battalion in Philadelphia. The
number of shurpshooters for last year
Is 1,316, an Increase over the previous
year of 159.
The Inspector General's Report.
Colonel Chambers McKlbbln, of Pitts
burg, Inspector general, says in his re
port to the adjutant general that not
withstanding the rough weather during
the Gettysburg encampment the divi
sion, as a whole, presented u magnifi
cent appearance arms, accoutrements,
equipments, discipline und general ap
pearance were fully up to the standard,
and officers and men are deserving of
more thau ordinary mention for their
efforts In making the encampment one
of the most successful in the history of
the guard.
Colonel McKlbbln says the appear
ance of the division was vastly im
proved by the new equipment and pre
sented a uniformity of Appearance that
has been long looked for. The con
duct of the troops en route to the en
campment gave Increased evidence of
thelrsoldiery conduct and of the high or
derof discipline maintained In the guard.
He says the standard of discipline has
been raised to sue-h a high standard
that Incompetent or Indifferent persons
should not be permitted to hold com
missions. He recommends that the in
spector general's department and nil
other departments be re-organlzed and
made to coniform to that of the United
States army, and that Inspections
should be made by officers of that de
partment. HI.EW OPEN THE SAFE.
Seven Masked Men Hind a Wntchtna
and Koh a llrcwcry of $200.
By the United Press.
Martins Perry, O.. Jan. 11. Seven
masked men blew open the safe in the
lielmont brewery at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning and procured $200.They seized
John llrooney, the night watchman, at
a side door, took his revolver and keys,
gagged him, carried him outside and
made him Bhow them the office. They
then bound 'his hands and logs and
wrapped him In a blanket. One man
guarded him while the others blow
open the safe. One of the safe doors
was blown through a window and all
the windows were shattered.
When the burglars departed they
said good nlgtit to Brooney and left
him lying on the cement floor. He was
found four hours later. The compan"
is glad llrooney was not killed and
cares little abont the money.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
B. Frank Hunter, who has been act
ing assistant treasurer of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, has been elected assist
ant treasurer of that company.
The Carnegie Steel company has been
asked by the Swedish government to
bid for the construction of armor plate
for the new battleship, which Sweden
is about to construct.
President Wilbur, of the Lehigh Val
ley, has replied to the request of the
Evans R. Dick company for representa
tion on the board of directors. As was
anticipated the request was refused.
The (Baldwin Locomotive works of
Philadelphia have shipped two locomo
tives to the Trans-Caucasian State
Hallway. The works have orders on
their books for locomotives for South
America, as well as for a number of
railroads In this country.
Coke production for the closing week
of 1894 in the Connellsvllle region reach
ed 151,402 tons, the highest output of
the year. The previous week it passed
the 150.000 mark for the first time In
the year. The total production of the
region for 1894 was greater than that of
1S93.
Anthracite coal Interests In Philadel
phia characterize rumors of a coal sell
ing agency designed to handle the an
thracite products of the country, as
absurd. They say It would require cap
ital of gome $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 to
work the scheme. Moreover, leading
Interests would refuse to surrender
their identity. The greatest obstacle,
however, would be legislative opposi
tion, as such a pool Is Illegal under ex
isting laws.
James M. Swank, general manager of
the American Iron and Steel associa
tion, and a high authority on the Iron
and steel trades, says In a recent Issue
of the Bulletin of the Association: "For
the Iron trade there Is today the hope
ful view that the demand for iron and
steel, except for steel rails, Is much
larger than It was a few months ago,
and that prices have fallen so low that
they can scarcely fall any lower. Taken
together, these two conditions give sup
port to the theory that prices must
soon advance, and when prices begin to
advance consumption will increase, re
versing the usual rule. Our own judg
ment Is that the business situation
must from this time forth gradually
Improve. We look for more Industrial
activity In 1895 than In 1893 or 1894."
The statement of shipments of an
thracite coal (approximated) for the
week ended Jan. 9 shows that the com
panies up to that time had closely ob
served the restrictive agreement. Ship
ments for the week were 545,674 tons, a
decrease compared with the same week
last year of 16,194 tons. The average,
on a basis of seven days a week, was
77,953 tons daily, and if not Increased
the month's output agreed upon about
2,300,000 tons will reach only 2,416,543
tons. There Is no doubt that the com
panies are now using some of their sur
plus stocks. The Philadelphia Stock
holder Is Informed by a wholly reliable
source that more coal, since the first
of the year. Is being Bold than mined.
Trade is still waiting, however, proba
bly on the report of the sub-committee
appointed at the recent meeting of the
sales agents.
S. n. Bennett, of West PIttston, tells
the Wllkes-Barre Record that among
the plans discussed by the Anthracite
Individual operators at Philadelphia
Wednesday was one for mutual In
surance among the individual opera
tors. They complain that the rates of
the old line companies are far too high
for such extensive insurance as coal
companies must carry and plans for a
mutual Insurance scheme were placed
In the hands of a committee of which
W. T. Smith, of Scranton, Is chair
man. This committee has been going
about the mines and getting together
the Insurance statistics of the compa
nies In order to report a plan at a fu
ture meeting. It Is thought that rates
according to this co-operative plan will
be considerably cheapened. As to the
condition of the coal trade no action
was taken for the reason that no re
port was received from the presidents
of the railroads who are trying to
evolve some plan for putting It upon a
better basis. There were present at the
meeting from tills region S. L. Brown,
Charles iparrlsh and Morgan R. Will-
lams, of Wllkes-Barre; S. B. Bennett
and J. L. Cake, of West PIttston; W. H.

STOCKS AND B0XDS.
New York, Jan. II. Speculation at the
Stock exchange was quiet during the
greater part of the day and It was not un
til the last hour when thire was even an
approach toactlvlty. The spurt was due to
a report from Washington which was sub
sequently denied that Secretary Carlisle
had resigned. The rumor led to a rally of
Vti per cent.; the anthracite coalers
leading. Delaware and Hudson sold up
3H to i:il, Jersey Central '1 to Kfli, and
Reading to 13'.. The Urungers were
prominent in the rally. Rock Island rose
1 to K!7i, Burlington 1 to 72, Northwest ;
to W and St. Paul to m. Chicago
Gas whs less of a feRture than usual. H
opened ut 78, fell to 77. rose to 78U and
declined to 'rnlfi. Sugar ranged be
tween OO'.i and 91. Market closed firm
but not at the top figures of the day.
Net changes show gains of to 2 per
cent. Illinois Central and Delaware and
Hudson led the advance. New York Cen
tral declined i, General Klertrlc ',4, and
Chicago Oas 'fc per cent. Total sales were
119.442 shares.

THE CELEBRATED
TO OUR PATRONS :
Washburn-Crosby Co., wish to assure their many paN
rons that they will this vcar hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry wcuthcr many millers ars
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully thrOo
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
