There Is to be a Fourth of July celebration here on a big scale, providing the war de partment doesn't put a damper on It by directing that no fireworks be set oft within the camp lines because uf the danger of burning the tents: an order, which Tt was rumored hero to day, Is to be Issued. No general cele btatlon Is planned, but every regiment Is preparing on its own accord to fit tingly observe the more than ever glorious July Fourth. The three regiments of the Pennsyl vania brigade are talking up a com bined celebration, and by tomorrow morning expect to have It definitely under way. It Is to be a three-day af fair. Saturday evening Is to be given over to band concerts and cannonad ing. Sunday will witness a patriotic church service, at which it is hoped to have Rev. T. De Witt Talmage as the central figure. Monday will be de voted to field sports and a possible ionton of specchmaking and declara tion reading, with a big display of tlrewoiks at night. Paine's Washing ton agency has been consulted about appropriate set pieces and guarantees to have on hand anything that may be ordered forty-eight hours ahead. Ev erything points to the plan carrying successfully, and If It does the Fourth of July will doubtless live as one of the most pleasurable days of the Key btone boys' war experience. NEW CORPORALS. At roll call last night the captains In ull the companies, excepting Com pany F, made announcement of the new corporals selected under the re organization of the recently expanded companies.

H. D. Pease. Company B. George Beldleman, Charles Keller, Ueunun Blunk, Fred Bellershelmer, Edwin B. Jones, Alex ander Barr. Company D. John Krebs, Charles S. P.oss, Rlchurd Kelly, John Eddlngcr, Ezra II. Ripple, jr., Joseph Cleary. In Company E, Pilvate Arthur E. llui-kuell was named as ur'tineer. In Company O, Elbert A. Parker was made wagoner and S. Bruce Chase company clerk. Private Frank Mal lott was appointed wagoner In Com pany B, and Jacob L. Moser was chosen to the position of company clerk to succeed Edward Conley. who i transferred to the division hos pital corps. FOR HOSPITAL DUTY. There were six of the Thliteenth's men accepted by Colonel G Irani for the hospital corps. They are Edward Conley, Irwin Kestler, Herbert Clark, Walter Schmltt, Clarence Myers and H. J. Van Relpert. At 7 o'clock last night they seveied connection with their respective companlt t and passed under the charge of the chief surgeon. Three of them will come back to the leglment a orderlies for the regimen tal surgeons. Major Parke has select ed Private Conley, but the others have no( as yet made their choice. It la understood that the men con tinue ns volunteers and remain ac credited to their regiment. H the reg iment fihould become divorced from the division these men would be relieved from the hospital corps and returned to their regiment to become hospital Btowards on the medical cgrps of the division to which the regiment might be transferred. They continue to rank as privates but will receive sergeants pay, which Is JC a month In advance of what they are getting. Such of them as are detailed as orderlies will draw their rations from their regiment. The others will tent and mess with the hospital company. The orderlies will be furnished horses and given an al lowance for fodder. These details of the organization and regulations of tho hospital corps were promulgated today In a pamphlet com piled by Colonel Glrard at the request of Surgeon General Sternberg. It Is to govern th hospital corps of all the armies. Its general features as out. lined In advi.nce by Colonel Glrard vero treated at length in a previous letter. The much criticized pr-Alslon that the hospital men shall not gather up the wounded until It can be done without , exposing themselves to dan ger" remain unaltered. TUB COURT MARTIAL. Colonel Coursen Is busy today brush ing up on tho duties that will devolve JUflfliJhlni aa president of tomorrow's titoeral court-martial.' The'labor It en tails however, Is amply reimbursed, ho feels, by tho honor conferred In his election to the position from among the twonty-elght colonels of the divi sion. The fact that It Is the first court martial ordered In tho division and that It Is of unusual moment because a cnpltal offense Is to be tried, makes tho distinction the moro prominent. Those who with Colonel Coursen will conslltute the tribunal are: First Lieu tenant Alvln H. Graff, first New Jersey Judgo advocate; Lieutenant Colonel Edward Klttlcson, Sixth Illinois; Lieu tenant Colonel Hamlin D. Burch, Sev enth Ohio; Major Frunk Bryan, Eltjhth Ohio; Major David E. Clark, Sixth II llnols; Major Frederick W. Stlllwell. Thirteenth Pennsylvania; Captain Wil liam G. Speck, Thirteenth Pennsylva nia; Captain Joseph McMnhon, First Ndw Jersey; Captain George W. Bran dell, Seventh Ohio; First Lieutenant II. C. Stewart, First New Jersey; First Lieutenant Charles 13. Lehman, Eighth Pennsylvania: Second Lieutenant Geo, W Uobtrts, Thirteenth Pennsylvania; Second Lieutenant James I. Paul, Twelfth Pennsylvania. The chief culprit, Private Alfred St. InmoE, of Company B, Sixty-fifth New York, will be prosecuted by hi regi mental commander, Colonel Welch, for savagely assaulting one of his lieuten ants who ordered him under nrrest for refusal to obey an order to do pollen worl . While It Is not very likely the death penalty will be Inflicted It Is be good as certain that St. James will be given a long' term In the Fort Leav enworth prison. It Is the first offensa of this kind that tho war has devel oped. The work of the regimental commls xarint has been lightened to such an extent us to make It a comparative sinecure by a new order which wont Into effect yesterday, directing com pany quartermasters to draw their ra tions direct from the brigade commis sary. Ordnance and riunrtermastpr supi.lles are to bo distributed In like mnnncr. This does away with each regiment going to Dunn Loring for Its supplies and simplifies matters all mound. ' STRICT EXAMINATION. If any Intoxicants come Into the Thir teenth's lines It will be no fault of headqunrteis. Kvoiy box that comes to nn enlisted man must be opened In the presence of Lieutenant Colonel Mitles before the owner can possess himself of It. Any liquor discovered will bo confiscated and split out upon th ground. When this aggravating operation is In progress there will be onlookers, no doubt, wishing that they might for the onto return to their pristine consistency. The Thirteenth's regiment band will render the following numbers at to morrow night's concert: Slgfrled's march Wagner Band. Song and dance, "Darling Vincent," Casey. Band. Brass quartette, Sergeant Miles, Privates Uptcgrovc, Rice nnd Putnam. Waltz, Memories of Home," Band. March, "Thirteenth Regiment". .Sentz. Band. Gallop, "On the Suwanec" Purner Band. "Star Spangled Banner," Band. Private Thomas A. Lewis, of Com pany A, is back from a furlough. Cantaln E. D. Fellows, of Company F, Is officer of the day and Lieutenant John Keith, of Company A, commander or the guard. Private Joseph Hodgson, of Company D, who was called home by the death of his father, has returned to camp. Company F won another ball game yesterday, defeating tho Twelfth regi ment team by n score of 19 to 7. Com pany A was defeated by Company D by a score of 23 to 21. Llentenant Edward Burkhouse con tinues to Improve steadily and his physicians hope to have him back to his company In the course of a week. A ball game between the officers of the two battalions Is tajked of as one of the Fourth of July features. Mr. and Mrs. August Kraft, of Scran ton, now on their wedding tour, visited the camp yesterday and were enter tained by 'Corporal Lona B, Day and Private Jacob Schaefer, of Company D. Mrs. DuBoles and Miss Belle Du Boles, of Washington, were guests yes terday of Musician McCreary, of Com pany G. The members of tho band yesterday received "housewives" presented by the W. C. T. F. of Hallstead. They contained the usual needles, pins, but tons and the like and on each was sewed a card bearing the appropriate Inscription from Isaiah: "Theiedeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zlon."

It Will Keep .tlnnr Ilnnds Uusy in ' I'eninylvunln. From tho Philadelphia Inquirer. There have been many speculations as to tho means of support of Penn sylvania's millions of people when the state's store of anthracite coal has been exhausted and her Iron nnd steel Industries ure nttacked by southern competition In tho same way that the New England cotton Industry has been attacked. Tho establishment nnd rapid growth of the cement Industry In Penn sylvania Is a hopeful augury for that future time when other Industries shnll fall. Tho Pennsylvania limestone so long used In tho making of Iron Is now being used also In the making of Port land cement. In tho United States there nie now thltty factories making cement, the output being 2,250,000 bar rels annually. This Industry has been almost entirely developed within the last ten years, nnd tho greatest devel opment has been in Pennsylvania, where the limestone Is almost free fiom magnesia and makes a cement equal In every resptct to tho Imported aitlcle. Tho country Is now producing nearly ns many barrels of cement a year as were Imported In 1K3. While tho Im ports have not greatly Increased tho home product of Portland cement has steadily grown fiom 454,813 barrels In 1801. 517,140 barrels in ISO'!, l90,fiS2 bar rels in 1S'I3, 708,757 barrels In 1894 to 090,321 barrels In 189",, and of this quan tity Pennsylvania produced more than one-half. This state makes less rock cement than other stntes. but Portland cement Is taking the place of rock ce ment everywhere. In 1891 Germany made 13,000,000 barrels of Portland ce ment and exported over 2,000,000 barrels, representing a value of nearly $20,000,000 an enormous sum to be derived from a minor Industry. The report of the geological survey of 1895 said that to meet tho Increased de mand for Portland cement In this coun try It would be necessary to establish every year a new factory with a pro duct of 1,000 barrels a day. It Is worth recording that the cement masonry at Wllllamsport was tho only work of "the kind not destroypd by the gieat Sus quehanna flood of 1S89. An Easy ' holer.
