The Thirteenth . regiment 1 etiuii.-d
home ftoni camp iatuiduy afternoon
In u train of fourteen cars over the
Pennsylvania and I.uckuuaiinu roads.
It was a tired and dusty body that
hustled out on the depot platform, but
all tho men vere bronzed and showed
the physical benefit of a week in the
open uir, except ItiK a few whn suf
fered from common digestive disor
ders. A delay of over an hour In the yard
nt I.ewltown Junction because of a
troublesome ttlr brake, and frequent
slops durinit the run from the same
cause delayed the train over an hour
und Scranton was not reuchecl until
4 25 o'clock. The rrowd nt the depot
'was a small one. Only the Second bat
talion, Companies)' A. II, C,. ami .IX in
coinmnnd of Major Buinard, marched
to the armory on Adams avenue. Com
panies I", of the West Side, nnd H. of
the North Knd, went direct to their
home localities, whllw CI. of Montrose,
and K. ot Honcsdale, left the clt.v ut
(i o'clock.
It was lit ting that General Snowdon'.i
high-hnnded arrest of Captain Kam
bei k and Lieutenant Smith should lie
public-ally repudiated before the regi
ment left camp. This was done by Gen
eral (lobln. In Its way off the camp
field 'the'reglment was lined up In front
of brigade headquarter when General
Gobin addressed them. In his remark.!
he suld:
MKNKKAL GOBtN'S REMARKS.
I want to tell you, eveiy offlcei. and
every man. how pleased I am with your
conduct und showing while In t-ump
You have pleased nie- und huve done
nothing: for which 1 can criticize you.
I mean this in every sense of the word."
While talking;. General (lobln spoke
slowly und distinctly, and while glanc
ing eurnestly along: the line of faces
before him gave an emphatic utter
ance to the words .which the men fit
once interpreted as u repudiation of
SnoWden's harsh and unwarranted act.
A cheer went along; the line, und then
three hurruhs and a tiger, nnd then a
series of company i'ells und crle of
"Who's all light? General Oobln:"
"What's the mutter with General Job
in? He's ull right!" etc., etc. No ef
fort wus made by the more superior of
the commissioned -officers to stop the
hub-hub, nor -would such an effort have
been successful. The regiment hud to
a man been roasting Snowden, us did
the other regiments in the brigade, und
they took that opportunity of letting
General Gobin know their sentiment-).
Concerning the arrests a typographi
cal error In Xnturduy's. issue of The
Tribune made u Hen tehee read thut
Major1 Barnard, who wus Thursday's
brigade otllcer of the day, hud not the
right to grunt permission ror the pus
sage or companies In and out of the
lines. The sentence should have read
that the I'nlted S.tates army regulations
provide that a.brlsude otllcer of- the
iluy run grunt such permission. This
corr-etlon Is especially due Major fctar
naid whose purt In the unfortunate af
fair was merely ucchleiitul and who re
ceived commendation and not criticism
ut division headquarters and by Colonel
Cuiirseii.
CAMP GROUNDS COMPARED.
Now that the camp has ended
theiM W'is ample opportunity to -oni-puie
Lewistowii and Mount Gretna. The
former has the greatest space and with
Its running water, topography und wi
les or three Immense, drill fields Is an
Ideal place for the massing of the thous
ands of Pennsylvania's soldiery. In wet
weather, however, no more disagreeable
sipot could have been selected. The soil
is ot the nature or clay and the water
will not soak Into It, neither will it run
off. because of the level. A whole day's
hot sua will scarcely evaporate the
wuter left ny a plecedlns half-day's
ruin. Mount Gretna does not couipure
with the Lewlslown Meld In outline or
extent but the former's sundy soil will
souk the sin face water, a thing that
docs not happen at I,ewlstown.
Governor Hastings, Snowden and
General Oobln and the oilier two brig
ade generals are however pleased with
the division Idea or encampment and it
is quite probable that they will be held
more frequently In the mture At divi
sion headquarters the idea of holding
a division c.-ump every year was often
discussed but without any definite con
clusion. Lewistown, at all events, will
be the place for massing the large body
of nnn. That Is settled. Anyhow,
there will not be three rainy days out
of seven every year and that fact will
have much to do In again selecting
Lewlstown.
A DESIRABLE PLACE.
The great mileage of the Pennsyl-
vanla railroad, its yardage and other
facilities coupled with the fact that
its lines reach to nearly every sec
tion of the state where regiments are
located, make it desirable to have the
camp near one of the company's divi
sion points. This suggests a remark
by Vice President Thompson of the
Pennsylvania company in reply to
someone who asked him how many sol
diers the compaty could transport In its
own curs to Washington, the Atlantic
toast or the Canadian border within
24 hours. One hundred thousand men
was the number Mr. Thompson speci
fied.
THAT SPRUCrfsTREET PAVE.
City I Asked to Par a Portion of the
t'ost.
At Inst Thursday nisht's meeting nf
the common council John J. Flnnaehan.
the member from the Kighth ward, in
troduced an ordinance that la o-nlno- in
meet with some warm opposition. The
object ol the ordinance U to appropri
ate money for th. payment of a por
tion of the cost of paving Spruce street
between Wyoming and Franklin ave
lines with asphalt.
When the cost of the work was est!
mated and the expense of the Improve-
ment apportioned among the property
owners, the Scranton Tructiou company
had twotracksoti Spiuce street. J UKt be
fore the laying of the pave in May, It
was Induced to take ur one of the
tracks and place the remaining trai-k
In the center cr the street. This left an
additional strip of pavement six feet
wide and the length of two blocks to
be paid for by some one. The assess-
ment on the property owners had been
determined upon and therefore the city-
Is asked to pay the balance due on the
pavement, $!. The ordinance fol
lowed the usual custom Thursday night
and was referred to a committee. If it
is reported favorably it will huve ditll
cully In running the councilmunlc
gauntlet.
THE COLONEL WAS BUNCOED.
The Man W ho Did It Captured at Ser-
vice in the Jail.
There Is a young Ulan In the police
stutioii. whose name Is Farrell. or that's
what he culls himself, and he halls from
somewhere around Wllkes-Barre Or
Kingston. Since his advent In Kcruntun
hlk name has been on the police docket
very often. lie' has a mania for going
Into people's yards to destroy flower
beds mid shrubbery, and then goes
around decorating lamp posts with the
broken Mowers,
It appears thut a few days ago he
met Colonel Jumes M. Full man. the
nitut. on the street and secured a dollar
under the following circumstances: The
colonel was Kolny along abstractedly
und he met Kan-ell. who accosted him
very familiarly and secured the loan un
til the next day. He told a long story
about owning land In Texas nnd hav
ing money in bank here and on the
strength of these representations the
colonel advanced the money.
It is the colonels custom to go to
the county Jail every Sunday afternoon
and during the religious exercises give
to the pnsoners a bit of fatherly advice.
As he was engaged in this praiseworthy
oci'iiputlon yesterday he saw among
those who come to pray, the face of
Fan-ell, and he stopped short In his
supplication, denounced Kan-ell us a
thief nnd ordered his arrest. The pa
trol wagon was passing and the bunco
man was loaded into It and brought to
the police station. The colonel will ap-
p-.-ar against him this morning.

At ull the masses In St. Peter's cathe
dral yesterday a collection was taken
up for the benelit of the Plttston fund.
The amount received was between $1,000
and $1,100. This is a very liberal re

of the parish had previously contribut
ed. Rev. J. A. O'Reilly will turn the
money over to the treasurer of the
fund today.
In St. John's church. South Side, the
people contributed at all the masses as

and ull the police on duty Saturday
night, comprising In all thirty-five of.
Ilcers. were 011 guard from 7 to 9 o'clock
yesterday morning to prevent any dis
turbance at St. Joseph's Lithuanian
church on North Main avenue.
Notice had been sent to the police
that there was fear of an outbreak, and
as a precaution they were ordered to
report to headquarters after duty In
the morning. They went np to Provi
dence on the first car and took posi
tions near the church. None of the
congregation was present at that hour,
but later the pastor. Rev. Michael Pesa,
made his appearance) and with the help
of another man broke down the boards
that had been nailed across the doors.
Perhaps, about two doien of those op
posed to him came around about H.30,
but they offered no resistance and
everything went along quietly. Chief
Robling at 9 oclock ordered all the of
ficers except a detail Under Lieutenant
Spi llman to return to headquarters and
go home. ,
Since last winter there ha been a
good deal of opposition to father Pesa.
Money is the cause of all the trouble.
A minority of the congregation wanted
Rt. Rev. Bishop U'Hara to transfer the
pastor to some other place and appoint
a man who would restore harmony.
They charged that Father Pesa was
doing what he pleased with the money
nnd had no scruples about fulling to
settle debt.
DID NOT BELIEVE CHARGES.
A majority of the congregation re-talivj-d
confidence In the pastor and they
saldNhat these were trumped up chid
es and that the real grievance was he
cause he did not come from the same
part of-the old country as those op
posed to him, and that they wanted
to get a priest who did. Last summer
the parish conducted an excursion and
realized three or four hundred dollars.
The pastor took the money.
Along In the winter a warrant was
sworn out charging him with embezzle
ment, because he, they alleged, refused
to give an account of the money. The
grand Jury Ignored the bill when It
came before them. The obstructors
then bolted the church doors and win
dows. Father Pesa swore out a war
rant for those who had anything to do
with the act, and that was quashed
before It passed beyond the grand Jury.
The opposition next sought to become
Incorporated under the name "St. Jo
seph's Lithuanian Church," In order to
obtain the property, but the court did
not humor them and that scheme fell
through. Quiet was restored and peace
reigned until two weeks ago. The op
posing party again took possession of
the church, boarded up the doors and
refused to let the pastor In to say mass.
GI'ARD ABOUT THE CHCRCH.
Day and night last week some of their
numbers were on guard to stop any
one taking sides with the priest from
coming In and opening up the church.
This kept up until Saturday morning,
and then the pastor and his supporters
applied once more to the law for a rem
edy.
A bill In equity was filed Saturday
morning praying for an Injunction to
restrain Michael Benotas. Jonas Szwo
kas, George Smith, Anthony Oowal,
Michael Shemboskey, and Joseph Gud
iskey from keeping the church barred.
The plalntlrts In the case are Joseph
Rugau, Joseph Tomalunas, Charles
Zusiil, Stanislaus Llstlnsk, Joseph
Bllsch, Anthony Zhamusklsh, Joseph
Pethrlcks, and Joseph Rohlnltls.
The bill sets forth that the parish was
organized In IHW, and has been gov
erned by the rules, regulations and
laws of the Roman Catholic church;
thut on July IH, 1st), Blshlp O'Hura. ap
pointed Father Peaa pastor; that on
June 13, 1ND3, the congregation entered
Into a contract with the Electric City
Laud Improvement company for th
purchase of three lot on North MaJn
avenue for the consideration of $3.MiO.
This amount was paid and on Nov.
23, DM, a contract was entered Into for
the erection of a sub-structure or
church basement to be Used a a place
of worship until the congregaton should
be able to proceed with the erection or a
church.
AN INJUNCTION U RANT ED.
Judge Gunster granted a preliminary
injunction to restrain the opposition
from keeping the priest out or the
church. The matter will come up for
argument on Wednesday morning ut
o'cloc k Hon. John P. Kelley and M. A.
McGlnley are attorneys for the Injunc
tion. The rumor that there would be
a clash between both sides when Father
Pesa would try to get in to say mass,
was what brought the police to the
scene. Two masses were read, but nut
the least violence was reported.
TWENTY DAYS A MONTH.
Collieries Hereabouts WiM Be Oper
