Only eleven answered the roll call, but even others strolled In soon afterward. F. M. Frands, of balton, took the floor and made the suggestion that the - meeting should at once take up the business of electing a permanent chair man.

THIRTEENTH LED THE BRIGADE It Was ths First Beglmeat to Leave ths Camping Oroaad for Home Good Time Mado pa tho Journey ' to This City. Happy to be home once more, the sol diers of the Thirteenth regiment reached the city from Alt. Gretna bat urday afternoon at 4.30. They left here Friday. July 20. at 9 v. n., arriving at camp the next morning at daylight. and at 7 o'clock every man was tn nis tent. Seven days of canj life then en sued, the Thirteenth In all the drill, parades, and all the other accompani ments of the week shwlne up so well as to win the credit nf being the fore most In the Third brigade. The last day In camp was one of an ticipation; the men wore ordered to le prepared for the .first reveille at 4 o'clock Saturday morning. When that hour arrived all the Voys quickly re sponded and attended to the task of preparing for departure. It was In tended that the train should leave at 7 o'clock for Lebanon, .but the arduous task of loading the tiagsaKe anvl camp equlppair caued a delay of two hours. The Thirteenth was the first to leave the camping grounds, the Ninth of Wlllses-Harre following on a later train. From Mt. Gretn to Lebanon the trip was made over the Cornwall branch of the Headltis railroad, and on the main line from Lebanon- to Allen town. Lebanon was reached at 9 o'clock and Allentown at noon; no stop was made at Reading. Precautions Agunist Accidents. The train was made up of sixteen coaches and an enRlno. there belr.g 613 men aiboard. At Allentown twenty minutes of a stop was mad In chang ing engines and crews; at this point the Lehigh Valley road crew took charge and the run was made at the rate of forty-live miles an hour urjtil Penn Haven Junction was reached. It took three engines to haul the train up the Wllkes-Barre mountains. The conduc tor had stationed men at every brake, taking precaution against any possible accident through the breaking cf a coupling. When camp was broken atlMt. Gretna the weather was fair, the boys looking forward to a pleasant ride home. As i he train sped along and the hours went by the skies 'became cloudier. At Al lentown, while the train was belr.g switched onto the Lehigh Valley tracks, as many cf the boys as had no lunch with them made a descent on the res taurant keeper at the station and ex hausted his stock of coffee and sand wiches. iMuch of the delight that would have accrued in viewing the picturesque scenery was detracted from 'by the rain, which began falling as the train pulled Into Mauch Chunk. It pattered against the windows of the cars on the ride through the mountains. Arriving at Wllkes-Barre the regi ment was greeted with faJrer skies. Twenty minutes of a stop was made there. One engine hauled the train to Scranton. and on account of the heavy load had to go slowly. The Delaware and Hudson station was reached at 4.30 precisely. Encampment Was a Success. On the hsmeward journey the boys enjoyed themselves In fine style. All told they were not able to express the satisfaction they felt at the thorough success of the encampment. The ar rival in the city before night was re garded as a pleasant innovation; there was not a large crowd on hand to greet them, but as they marched along up Lackawanna avenue to Washington, to Linden street, to Adams avenue and the armory, hundreds of pedestrians along the streets lined the sidewalks as the boys la blue passed. Colonel E. H. Ripple, (Major iMIller and Commissary Sergeant W. H. Burke arrived at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. "When Johnny Comes -Marching Home" was the tune played by the drum corps when the Thirteenth left camp Saturday morning, and it is im possible to describe the feelings of the members when they heard the refrain. They expected they would receive a royal welcome and looked forward with Joyful anticipation to tha time when they should arrive at home and march up Lackawanna avenue, the sidewalks lined with enthusiastic men and women eager to applaud the brave boys who had attained the highest point of ex cellence among the citizen soldiery. They had expected this reception be cause their proficiency was recognized abroad, but the cheers of those at home would be more dear. Their reception was disappointing. Pool oa the Leaving Tims. Ir was 9:06 when the regiment left Mt. Gretna. It was the first to Start, but the leaving time will not be forgotten by the members of Company C.

Last Might in Csmp. The midway plalsance was not a cir cumstance to the encampment on tho final night. In every company there was different amusements and it was a cynical chap. Indeed, who would not be amused by a trip through the camp. The Thirteenth was busy preparing to leave, but they found time for innocent amusement and plenty of It. When daylight broke there were not many who had touched their cots, as those had been packed the night before. Men sought sleep in various attitudes, but did not find it, because of the Inces sant dim and noise. ' At 4 o'clock re vlelle was sounded and camp was broken. '" " '" ' The baggage was hastily packed, and, although many thought that It should be a two weeks' encampment, yet if it were they would not be able to stand the loss of sleep, as nearly everyone of them had a keen appreciation of tha r': ' :::: ;'r'-":': comforts of a clean bed Immediately after they arrived. GATHERED HERE AND THERE. The extension of Mulberry street to the end of the Elmhurst boulevard at Arthur avenue Is aa improvement that Is much appreciated by horsemen who frequent that popular drive. It furnishes a straight and reasonably passable driveway from the boulevard to the center of the city. Yesterday afternoon was delightful for driving and the boulevard was crowded with all manner ot turnouts. The clear atmosphere revealed at its brat th many choice bits of scenery along the road and the bracing air where the boulevard wound about th mountain side seemed to give new vigor to all who breathed K. There Is much speculation as to who will succeed J. K. ileetem as general manager of th Bcranton Traion company. Tho statement has been made that Frank B;l- vlxon, manager of he Atlantic avenue line, of llrooklyn, N. Y., hus been sug gested as Mr. lMim'i successor, but nothing of an ofllclal nature has yet Won made- public regarding the matter. The Free Press yesterday had this to suy about the position: "Who Is to be Mr. Heetem's successor? Is the question to which tho Clark of rhilailelph'a have nut yet vouch- safed an answer. It Is rathir strange that the Traction coiniwny cannot find a man In Scrnnton capable of running Its lines. With each succeeding Imported mauager a cloud of sutellltes comes, ills placing all the desirable places. Why not do away with thtse annoying changes by choosing a flcranton man for nianuger. There's I". W. Gallagher, for Instance. Ho has been the chief lieutenant of both Archer and HeeUm. Ho knows the busi ness of tho Bcranton Traction company from a to lsxunt. He is familiar with the methods of the two managers and has Ideas of his own on every subject. He has b!n a very valuable man for the Bcran ton Tructlon company and Is In direct line of promotion. Mr. (iallagher Is a Benin- ton man and his appointment woum no a recognition of Bcranton. Why not ap point P. W. Gallagher general manager of the Traction company? This suggestion Is respectfully made in ths hope that Messrs. t'lark. of Philadelphia, will tuke !t Into serious consideration." On Aug. 7 the annual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence union of Amer ica w ill open In Columbia hall. N w York city, and continue In session for four days. Extensive arrangements have been by tho union of New York to entertain the visit ing delegates. The Bcranton union will be represented by M. J. O'Toole, of this city; Miss Katie Mahon, of Kingston, and P. J. Qulnn, of Mlnooka. Tuesday evening's mass meeting at Grace Reformed church by tho Christian KnJeavorers promises to be a, notable event. It Is held mainly for the purpose cf advancing the movement to bring the state convention of ISM to this city. Bitch a movement is worthy of the active sup port of the residents of tho city, whether members of the Christian Endeavor so cieties or not, and every Inducement should be made to Induce the coming con vention at Krle to decide to hold the next state meeting In this city. Carbondale Is thus wont to give ViJit to Its vanity over Its latest metropolitan ac quisition: "The little bootblnck that is now on our streets has come to stay. Ho has already worked up a good business here, and likes the town. He stopped in Bcranton before coming here, but when his presence was discovered the union bootblacks at once drove him out. The little fellow has an eye to business by making monthly contracts with a numbr of business men for shines and he has tn the First National bank." Leader. Tho question naturally arises wnai uiu me turooiiuuio u for a shine before the advent of that pio neer bootblack? "Well, that beats Tammnny Hall and the Irish," said Police Lliutenant John Davis last night, suddenly breaking forth from a meditative mood and swinging around in his chair so as to face the group of of flecrs In tha sergeant's office. "They may talk of Irish emigrants picking out their beats when they strike Ellis Island, but that isn't a circumstance to a case that happened in this very city. Why, do you know." continued the lieutenant, with as serious a face as he was able to wear, "that there was a Welshman came to this city one time and two days after h landed h nma n Hntv as a oollce officer?" There was much craning of necks and bending of ears to catch every syllable or tne ter rible disclosure, and when all showed ....in.iip.li ihnt thev wero sitting In an uncomfortable position on the anxious seat, the lleutPnant, wltn a oroau grin, merely said: "Tom Jones," the name of the officer who returned last week from his vacation across the water.

L R. Jaaaey at Cedar Avenue Church. WORK WOMEN ACCOMPLISHED Thev Are Better Able to Pave ths Way for ths Trae Religion Than Are Msa. Largo Number of Converts That Have Been Made. Rev. L. R. Janney occupied tho pulpit at the Cedar venue Methodist Episco pal church last evening. He la an American, recently returned from In dia, In which country he labored eleven years aa a missionary among the heath ens. lils discourse was chiefly a recount ing of the manner and cutoms of the natives and the peculiar fascination ex ercised over them by the Urahmln prlents. They do not avow what might be termed a religion; It Is rather a aupersti'.'lon in the performance of the exacting requirements, uf which they are exceedingly xealous. A Hindoo, he said, gunges his habits, actions. In fact the general tenor of his life according to certain superstitious traditions. He bi-ll.-vf that he cannot eat, sleep, think, feel, see, know, or ex ercise any of his capabilities, outside of a certain defined groove, which Is regu lated by the sway maintained over the populace by llrumlnlsni. Hcv. I.Mr. Jnniiey .paid a grand trt'lmte to the nilsxlivnaiy work being done (by womtin; they, he fjiUI. appear to be bet ter able to unlink the error from the hearts of the heathen nnd iave the way for true religion. He prayed that more of them would tnke up the life. For the past two years the number of converted souls liy India that have en tered the fold of 'the Methoillnt Episco pal church, averages 15,000 per annum. He hoied to see this num'lier lr.l?reaiu In future years. The speaker was most elo quent, his whole heart and soul being put Into his sermon. The church was crowded to hear him. BATHKB A COOL YARN. Iloro's a Story That to lis Enjoyed Should lie Read with the Thermometer Some where I'p Among the Nineties. Chicago Tlmos-Herald. "The chilliest cold weather story I ever heard," said Alfred S. Trude, "was told ime by one John Coffee, a hnlf-breAl guide, who ranges around the upper part of Wisconsin and the northern peninsula of Michigan. Understand me," continued Mr. Trude, placing an earnest hand upon his listener's shoul der. "Understand me. I do not vouch for the truth of the ptory I do not guar antee Its correctness In any particular I simply give It to you as It was told to me. You may take It Into your own consciousness and do with it as you will. Doubt It or credit It, as you seo fit. For my own part. I wish to say that I believe It. I have had consider able experience In lawsuits, and have In terviewed nurny witnesses In my time. The more statements I hear in court the more I am inclined to look for truth and propriety of speech in the men of the woods. They have not yet learned that language was given man for the purpose of concealing his real views. Thus, when John Coffee, my guide, told me the story of the big freeze of 1SG9 I drank It in like the water of a spring. I saw no reason to doubt his veracity. My account of the event win not be eo picturesque as Coffee's, but so long as the general facts are pre sented, I presume it wll be satisfac tory. Late In January, 18G9, so Coffee said, James Buchanan Red.blanket, an Indian of good repute, left his home over back of .Munlslng to take some skunk skins and other peltry to Marquette, where ho aimed to market them. Mar quette Is about forty mile from Munlslng and as the snow was hard nnd Red- blanket's six-dog team had but about two hundred pounds of skins to haul on their sledge, -the Journey was ac counted as an easy eight or nine hour trip. RedblankPt was a husky man and good at heal and toe. He left home at 6 o'clock In the morning, by the light of the stars. .Four hours later cold weather settled down on the south Bhore of Lake 'Superior like a hired man on his Job. Such a freeze had never been known beforp. From reasonably mild winter's weather the temperature of thn't celebrated day in 1869 dropped out of sight. If the family of James Buchanan Redblanket had possessed a thermometer the mercury would have curled up In the bulb and frozen Into a bullet. But they had no thermometer, and any discussion on the subject Is futile. His Absence r.xcltes Cariosity. "Three days elapsed and Redblanket did not return to his humble home back of the Bay Furnace company's loca tlnn. 'His tender papposps, who looked for beads nnd things upon his return, be came fretful and clamorous. Even Mrs. Rc-iblanket'B placidity was ruffled, and she began wondering what had become of Jim. Sho told the neighbors that he had not returned, and as the weather had moderated to about zero a party of six or eight started out for Marquette to ascertain whether tho offense for which the townsman and trlbmman was detained was bailable under the singular laws of the white Intruders. Twenty miles toward Marquette the out fit came upon a silent party. It con sisted of Redblanket, his six dog team and a load of skunk skins. They were on u slight Incline, the dogs straining at their collars for the pull and James Buchanan Redblanket tn the attitude of one shovlntc at the rear of the load. He was doing his best to push a good thing along, when the cold came nnd froze him and his dogs stiff In their tracks. "He and his team were piled up on the peltry and hauled back to the Munlslng settlement. It was decided to give Red blanket proper (burial and to eat the dogs, which Is the economical practice of the red man of the forest. One of ths party went abend to break the news and to prepare the town hall or coun cil house for the funeral. Redblanket was what one might call an alderman among the Indians, and an ordinary burial wouldn't do in his case. It would have to be a tribal affair. So a gre was built In the middle of the earthen floor, and when the funeral train arrived the Interior was hot and smoky. Red blankets remains -were deposited near the fire and the dogs were stacked up outside for future reference. The bosses of the camp were sitting around Inside smoking and the bereaved Mrs. Red blanket and her feminine kindred were practicing on the long yell to be raised next day, when a strange thing hap pened. James Buchanan Redblanket kicked off the Mackinaw blanket that had been stretched over him and de manded first food and then fire water, holding that, although an Indian snd as such not entitled to whiskey under ths United States law, yet having been frosen he was clearly entitled to booie for medical purposes. A delegate was sent over to the Bay Furnace and got the whiskey, which was given to Red blanket, who then entered into the de bate which followed. This was as to his status. Was Ha Logall Dead? Certain constitutional lawyers held that he was legally dead, and the settle ment was entitle to the Joy and eclat of his funeral. They favored beating him upon the head until he became a corpxe de facto as well as de Jure. Others maintained that his case was one of suspended animation only. The cold came upon him so sudldenly that there had been no lesions or failures of the tissues such as would accompany an ordinary freezing, and his faculties had simply congealed and had been held In abeyance. Therefore he had not been dead, but simply stood In the position of one who for any reason or cause had taken an uncommonly long slumber. Redblanket's case was going against him. and he might have got tho worst uf It had he not offered to devote the proceeds of his ballu of skins to the pur chase of tobacco and such Illicit essence of Jamaica ginger as might be bought of venturesome Marojuette druggists for the general consumption of the camp. This offer was accepted In lieu of his life. "The dogs, which had been piled up, were then brought In, and being exposed to the heat also revived. But one was lost. This had fallen off the pledge, having been Insecurely loaded, and dis arranged some of his Interior mech anism. Coffee told the story with every Indication of truthfulness, and hpslde made profert of his dog In evidence, the animal was a grandson of one of Kedblunket's sledge-dogs," concluded Mr. Trude. SI B1M1NQ A TI RHOK. From the Piinxsutnwney Spirit. "I'm tho best man on tills train !"ahouted an Intoxicated woodsman us ho swaggered to ithe smoking cur nt a Utile way station on the lluiralo, Rochester und Pittsburg last Wtilaesiluy. "I'm tho beat man on this train!" he repi ateil, and smacked his fists fiercely. As he repeated the assertion with addi tional emphasis a dude who was smoking a cigarette sneaked Into another car, and tho other passengers wore a troubled look. But a man on a back st-at, who Uvea in Brudford, wulked up to the would-bo ter ror und said calmly: "Stranger, you say you aro the best man on the train. If that Is the case what is tho use In making such a fus about It? I think you aro tho worst'man on the train certainly the worst behaved. When I seo a fidlow acting Hire you are doing I set him down as a cowardly bully, and a miserable, sneaking cur. Now sit down The terror had evidently received a seri ous setback, but he didn't like- to appear to be too easily subdued. Bo ho said: "Think you aro a better mun than I am, do you?" "I should hope so," said the other. "You are a liar!" exclaimed tho terror, and mado a pass at him. That Is where he made the mistake. The gentleman from Bradford let go with his right nnd sent thefjllow sprawling against the Iron portion of a seat, cutting his head so that It required five stitches to sew up the gash. After he had recovered some what and began to realize what had hap. pened he said: "I didn't think the dashed thing was loaded." AN EXPENSIVE 11 ADIT. From tho San Francisco Post.

"This Is a man's wheel, nnd you couldn't ride It without bloomers," he explained. "Oh, thait reminds me. The funniest thing happened to-day," and she prodded the gate post with her hnt pin as she re lated the experience. "I went Into a store on Kearney street to get me a bicycle suit. 'Let mo see some bloomers, please,' I asked the clerk. He smiled and Inquired, With or without?' 'With or without what?' I asked. 'Why, with or without a skirt.' Wasn't that cute?" She was assured that it was and then the young man concluded It was time to go. "Guess I'll have to pump up that hind Ire," he remarked as he observed that It hail about collapsed.

They waited at tho city gate, Nor spako they any word. The multltuilo gazed anxiously, And scarcely breathed or stirred. Bethought they not of heat or sun, Though strongly beat It down, But waited thero with nnxlous hearts The people of tho town. Assembled were the burghers proud, And with them Indies fair. And by tho sldo of these the poor, For every one wns there.. The high, the low, the young, the old, Who came In rags or state, Togother in that fateful hour They waited at the gato. And suddenly a mighty shout From a hundred Ihroals arose, Aad thrles a hundreJ throats the cry Take up, and on It goos. Swelling a mighty chorus then, The clumor fills the way, As all the multitude exclaims: "They come! They come! 'TIs they!" Afar upon th; highway now A figure Is descried, ."Alone?" All eyes aro strained. "Alone With no one by his side." And near he comes until thoy seo He walks with faltering feet And drooping head, nor rise his eyes Tho multitude to greet. "What bodes It?" ory tho burghers, Thus cry ths, ladles fair, Likewise the poor and all of those Who are assembled there. Hushed again their voices all, With faces blanched they wait. And hang upon the Hps of him Who stands within the gate. Thrice tries the man a word to say, And tries he yet again, Three times his quivering Hps do part, Three tlmts they part In vain, At last he speaks, and speaking low, He tells the city's shame; Thos near him only heard him gasp; "The umpire stole the game." In Edenburgh on Flodden's day All hearts were filled with woe At thought of battle bravely fought And lost, and yet I trow That grief was not to be compared To what to Leesvllle came, When from the Liver Eaters .

Unlike the police of New York and other large cities, our olllcers are not ofilclally Interested In the enforcemn. of the Bunday4aws, but like other mor tals, they have a well developed bump of curiosity, and cevcral ot those who were out day duty In the central city yosterday, prompted by the present Sabbath observance agitation, made a mental note of the condition of affairs In their respective precincts. Their reports, a a ibrought out In a cufual conversation at the station house lust evening, tended to show that the saloonkeepers were variously affected by the knowledge that spotters were going about, looking for violation uf the Sunday laws. At one of the most promlnemt howel erles In the city the day was as dry as It was at Hotel Jermyn. Guests were not even permitted o enter the bar mum, and under no consideration would anything that had to come from the liar lie served In the roums. This caused much coinplulnt among the guests, efpei'lHlly the .permanent board ers; Unit tho landlord was Inexorable, anil as a conseiiuence many a long drawn out thirst was the remit. No Inducements Offered. At the mujorlty of the other first class hotels the same or almost as stringent rules obtained. Home served customers In unoccupied bedrooms and some In the dining rooms, which were kept open for he purpose, but at no place of nny pretentions were any In ducements offered to the trade. One or the uttaches of the first men tioned house stated to a Tribune man that it was not the wish or d!r of the house to do business on Sunday, but it was an alimlst absolute ne-jes-slty. "We will have to keep aa closed as a clam, however, at least until this attaempted blackmailing subsides, fur we cannot afford to have the house brought Into any such scrapes, and you know that It Is Just such places as ours that these people are liable to swoop aown upon. Some of the saloonkeepers seemed to take It for granted that Inasmuch as the latter day Sunday observance agi tators had been legally sat Upon by nn alderman that all fear from that quar ter was at nn end. and were embold ened to take even lesa than usual pre caution to fii?guis.a their Sunday trafllc, Not a Ilry Sundav. It was not a "dry Sunday" by any means, Dut tnere were many persons surprised yesterday upon visiting their lavonte resorts to be met with "sorrv we can't do It. Have to keep low for a weeg or so."
