On all the lines of the Traction com

on account of repairs on one of the
large dynamos at the plant on the
Providence road.
. When the machine broke down a
month ago, one of the disc plates was
cracked and a band was put around
It until a new one could be trot. It was
the woik of replacing the broken plate
that cuused the curtailing of the ser
vice, ns the iiower furnished was not
tfulllclent to propel all the cars. Not
more than half the usual number were
In operation. The repairs were Mulshed

HARD DAY FOR THIRTEENTH.
Boys Tired by Preparations for the
luspeetiou.
Special from a Stan Correspondent.
Camp John Gibbon, I.ewlstown, Pa.,
July 21. In the history of the Thir
teenth regiment it never had a day
more wearing and trying than today.
The labor of urilllng and preparing for
tomorrows inspection, the one main
topic of conversation, has been equally
felt by the rank and file and officers,
and when night closed over the camp
everybody was pretty well exhausted.
The rain having ceased about 10
o'clock, the captains put their com
mands through a piece of hard drilling
until noon, when Cidonel Coursen re
ceived orders concerning the Inspection
and designating the nature of regiment
al drill. At 3 o'clock the regiment was
taken out on the big parade ground, and
for three hours there was an almost
uninterrupted series jit company, bat
talion and regimental maneouverlng.
The broad stretch of level ground was
occupied during this time with man
oeuverlngs of all the regiments, bat
teries and troops in the Third brigade,
and presented an animated and ever
changing scene. At 6 o'clock the Thir
teenth was dismissed. But that did
not end the day's fatigue.
After a rest of only half an hour, dur
ing which only two of the companies
felt eiUal to the duty of feeding the
Inner man, the regiment was again led
out on the plain and participated in a
brlgude parade for half an hour. That
finished u day of nerve trying work,
which in its severity and strain would
compare with three days' ordinary lu
bor. DRILL FOK TODAY.
The specified regimental drill for to
morrow is the most difficult ever pre
scribed for an Inspection, and is In ad
dition more ditlicult than the drills un
dergone by the First and Second brig
ades Monday and today.
The Thirteenth, being the junior regi
ment of the brigade will be inspected
first at beginning at 7 o'clock. Privates
Stcuit and Young of Company It, and
the rllle team and who are two of the
best marksmen on the state team,
reached here this noon and will Hp
pear wltli their company In the Inspec
tion. The body of lireunan. the liattery C
hostler who was drowned In the river
Monday, was recovered at 8 o'clock this
evening at a point opposite the Ninth
regiment's quarters. The day having
been given over almost exclusively to
tlie drilling, the men have done little
besides lounge and rest while off duty
and. '.here has been u scarcity of the
usual dally non-nillltary things which
contribute so much toward making
cump life novel and pleasant.
Gl'KSTS OF THK OOVEKNOR.
Mr. and Mrs. William Connell reached
here today and are the guests of Gover
nor und Mrs. Hastings at headquarters.
Mr. and Mrs. Connell will spend the
nights in town. Tomorrow Captain
Wood, of Company E, will be officer of
the day. Lieutenant Huff, of Company
H, commander of the guard, and Lieu
tenant Davis, of Company F, supernu
merary ollicer of the guard. Major
General Snowden. accompanied by one
of his staff, paid a personal visit to
Colonel-Coursen this evening.
The objections that have been made
lately to the quality and short weight
and measure of the rations culminated
tonight In the Thirteenth when Captain
Kambeck of Company B. wrote a spee
ltic complaint which will In the course
of time reach brigade headquarters. No
Issue of rations has been made since
camp opened, said Lieutenant Tracy,
of the Thirteenth commissary depart
ment tonight, without a shortage. For
instance, today's potatoes which should
have weighed 1416 pounds, showed a
shortage of over 150 pounds which was
borne proportionately by each com
pany. A DISMAL MORNING.
The sun did not break over the valley
this morning. When the men answered
to roll cull the air was laden with a
licavy mist, the ground was dotted with
miniature lakes of water, and the pros
pect for anything but a rainy day was
poor. After iness and guard mount, no
time was lost by the captains In drilling
their commands and preparing for to
morrow's brigade Inspection. Patrlcu
lar attention was paid to accoutrements
and quarters, as battalion and regi
mental work was done in the afternoon
drill.
Until last year the Inspection was
made with the men In heavy marching
order. Last year at Mount Gretna the
accoutrements were left In the tents
and there examined. However, an ab
sence of orders from Inspector General
Morrell leaves everything concerning
the Inspection a mere matter of guess.
This Is considered very strange among
Third brigade olllcers, especially so as
during Sunday certain regiments of the
First brigade were drilling the identi
cal movements and formations of the
inspection which took place Monday.
The First regiment, the Thirteenth's
only rival, was one of these fortunate
commands. The situation is one of the
topics of talk and comment among the
Third brigade officers, though good care

has been taken not to let the murmur
ing reach Colonel Morrell ears.
ORDER CAUSED KICKING.
There is also a great deal of remans
tiance concerning; the order that men
discharged within thirty days preced
ing camp Bhall be noted as "absent" at
Inspection. Heretofore such dis
charged men, whose enlistments had)
expired, were reported "present." The
order was not received in 'the; Third
brigade until twenty-nine days before
camp, which gave the captain no op
portunity to enlist men to All the rolls,
as an enlistment dated within thirty
days of camp does not count in com
pany attendance. The result Is that
the reduced percentage of attendance
will severely affect the regimental rat
ings. Early this morning, before mess, Gov
ernor Hastings and several of his staff,
rode through the division. It was an
exercise and observation gallop. Gen
eral Snowden and certain members of
his staff have not missed an early
morning ride through the brigades since
Friday.
An instance of the pranks played on
the tender recruit almost reached a
climax last night, when one of the new
soldiers was sent on an errand to Gen
eral Gobin. He wanted randies, and
when told there were none, asked where
they could be procured.
"You can get 'em of a fellow named
'Gobin,' " replied a corporal.
The recruit asked where "Gobin" was
and the brigade commander's tent at
headquarters was pointed out to him
and he posted off across the parade.
He walked directly to General Gobln's
tent, where the general happened to be
sitting.
HE WANTED GOBIN.
"Is there a man named Gobin here?"
asked the recruit.
"Humph, yes; I am the person you
are looking for," was the reply.
"Well, I want some candles," blandly
said the recruit.
"What's your regiment?"
"The Thirteenth."
The general turned to some one con
nected with the commissary depart
ment and asked if candles had been
Issued to the Thirteenth. The reply
v as in the affirmative.
"Your regiment tuts been furnished
candles," suld the now thoroughly
amused general.
"Then my corporal is a d liar, and
bus sent me on a fool's errand." the re
cruit said, as he thrust his hands in
his pockets and walked away.
The story went the rounds up at brig
ade and division headquarters, this
morning, and no one enjoyed telling It
more than did General Snowden.
Surgeon Fulton this morning went
through the compuny streets and en
forced the sanitary regulations pertuln
Ing to the care of the tents and their
contents. The flies were thrown back,
Hoors swept, bedding shaken and all
else done which might contribute to
ward cleanliness and good health. The
men are gradually showing a lessened
disposition to stomach and bowel trou
ble, the routine and open air life over
coming the Hist tendencies to digestive
disorders. The hospital tent has not
had an occupant who remained for
more than twenty-four hours.

plaints of a Different Kind.
One of the unpleasant tasks that falls
to Mayor Bailey's lot Is listening to
complaints of the numberless persons
who believe the chief executive of a
great city like Scranton should be able
to suggest a proper remedy for every ill
they suffer.
Yesterduy afternoon the mayor had
just dismissed a candidate for police
force honors and coming out into the
large reception room picked up a hand
ful of Private Secretary Beamlsh's "re
form" stationery and wan industriously
at work agitating the atmosphere with
the lniprovlsed fan when an excited
man who had entered the reception
room by the corirdor door cried out:
"Is the mayor in?"
Private Secretary Beamish was re
peating for the benefit of the mayor
some choice sentences from his oration
before the Bryan and SewaJI club of
Dunmore the night previous and he
liked not the Interruption. The visitor
Ignored the likes or dislikes of the p. .
and agan inquired If the mayor was In.
lie was and inquired auxiouslyas to the
Inciting cause of his visitor's high tem
perature. .
The caller was so excited that he
found it difficult to express himself but
at length made the mayor under
stand that he resides on the West Side
and that his neighbor was dumping
ashes In an alley between their proper
ties, lie had chased the ush dumper
away and then betook himself to the
City Hall for police protection and au
thority to prevent the further ornamen
tation of the alley.
He was advised to lay his case before
the street commissioner.
Mr. Kinsley could not be found.
HE WANTED TO SLEEP.
Another man wtth a grievance who
called at the city had yesterday wanted
a planing mill suppressed. His employ
ment is such that he works nights and
Is compelled to rest during the day but
his sleep Is disturbed ever and anon
and sometimes oftener by the fur from
soothing sounds that are sttalned
through the open windows and doors
of a Wood working factory. This annoy
ing noise the complaining citizen Hrmly
maintained mude the mill a public nuis
ance and he called on the mayor to
suppress It at once.
"But we can't supress it." objected
the mayor. "This case does not come
under the head of nulaunce, you know."
"Not a nuisance!" yelled the com
plainant and his face became white
and livid by turns; "well If that's your
opinion I'm glad your not sanitary of
tlcer. Just come down and try to sleep
in the neighborhood som day and
you'll rind out If It's a nuisance." Hav
ing thus delivered himself he departed
with his faith in the powers of law and
equity visibly shaken.
Still another complaint came from a
man on the South Side who objects to
the small boy being allowed to play
ball near his home. The mayor did not
feel equal to the task of enjoining the
youth of the city from playing the

OF ANOTHER KIND.
There are other complaints laid before
the mayor that tell of woe and heart
breaking sorrow. v
A woman who i-(vtid;s on Franklin
avenue wrote to his honor the other tiny
and asked him to wiie out Wio gambling
places of the city. Her husband earns
good wages, but has a munla for the
gambling table and it is no uniu.il
thing for him, to lose at cards every
cent of the money that should go to
support her and the children. The
anxious wife fears that their little
home will soon pass into other hands
unless her husband is cured of his de
sire to gamble. In her letter the wo
man specified some of the place her
husband frequents and urges the mayor
to move against them.
Another heart-broken wife and moth
er complains about certalr) speuk-eastes
on the South Side which she alleges
are making mental, moral, physical and
financial wrecks of her husband and
sou. She attributes the death of an
other son directly to one of the unli
censed drinking places that she men
