At the armory last night Major Cameron accepted twenty-three of the men examined and approved by Dr. Hnlberstndt. a total of fifty-live when added to the thirty-two enrolled Tuesday night.

The company was drawn up In two lines on the drill llnor, where Major Cameron administered the oath of fealty to the state and nation, but not until after he had read the order show ing his authority as mustering officer.

Headquailers National Guard of Penn sylvania, adjutant general's ottice, Harrlsburg, .May IS, ISPS. General Orders, No. 13. I. In compliance with the call of the president of the United States for troops In the present war with Spain, the state of Pennsylvania has furnished the quota assigned to It, 10.S0O officers and enlisted men. These troops were lecrulted large ly from the National Guard of Pennsyl vania, thus depleting the National Guard to an extent that renders it necessary to enlist other organizations for the public defense and to meet the require ments of the law. II. The commander-in-chief directs that thete shall be recruited nine regi ments of Infantiy and three batteries of artillery, to be divided equally among the First, Second and Third brigades. Each regiment will consist of three bat tallons of four companies each, but only two battalions to be recruited and or ganized at this time. III. The strength of each company of Infantry, eaeh troop of cavalry and each battery of artillery will be in accord ance with the ptovlslons of the net of Assembly approved April 13.1SS7, and tho several amendments thereto. IV. Brigade commanders ure charged with the duty of recruiting and organiz ing the several commands herein pro vided for. They will receive applica tions, pass upon the same, and when ap proved forward through regular chan nels to adjutant general's office. V. In enlistments, men who have for merly sened In the National Guard of Pennsylvania shall have preference. VI. Companies and regiments shall be organized as far as possible witli tho view of utilizing and rating for present armories. VI I. The recruiting and organizing or commands as herein provided shall be conducted with the express provision anil understanding that the otllcerr and en listed men who serve as the National Guard of Pennsylvania shall have pref erence as far as possible in lutuie en listments in the volunteer army of tho 1'nlted States, and may bo disbanded at the close of the w:'r.

Olllcers and men now in the Na tional Guard and physically disqualified for active service may be transferred to commands to be organized under this order. Hy order of Daniel II. Hastings Governor and Commander-lu-Chlef. Thomas J. Stewart, Adjutant General. ADMINISTERING OATH. While the oath wns being adminis tered, the men stood with uncovered neaus ana right hand raised and answered in concert "I do" when the oath was concluded. Ex-Captain Fremont Stokes was the only person nominated for captain. After his election he was culled to the front und answered atrirmutively to Major Cameron, who asked ir he ac cepted the command of the company O. F. Pross and F. A. Rranda were nominated for tho first lieutenancy, the former being elected by the vote of 3a to 19. The written ballots wern re ceived and recorded by tellers, one having been beleeted by each candi date. For second lieutenant F. A. Hranda, A. W. Jurlsch and C. D. Swift were numlnated. Tellers were appointed as before, one for each candidate. The first ballot showed lit for liranda, IS for Jurlsch and 15 for Swift. To In sure an election 6 or the 62 votes cast wcro required and another ballot wns ordered. It showed 21, Ti and fl re spectively. Swift withdrew after tho second bal lot. When tho third was counted lifi ap peared for Urandn and L'7 for Jurlsch. Major Cameron decided that only si votes should have been cast. Ho de clined to unnounco a result and or dered a fourth billot. The men were culled slowly to tho front and as each deposited his vote It was closely watched. The tellers counted .10 vole's for Brandu and 21 for Jurlsch, The former was declared elected and an nounced his acceptance as First Lieu tenant Pross had done. Major Cameron informed the men they were soldiers of the state and subject to Captain Stokes' orders. They were then dismissed by the lat ter. The three elections will be certi fied nnd reported at onco by Major Camei on to the state authorities. Tho elections will bo at once approved and the commissions forwarded here. Montrose, It now appears, is to b represented by a company In the sec ond bnttallon. Major Cameron goes there tomorrow to muster In tho com pany, which has been enrolled by cx Captaln W. D. II. Alnoy, of Company O, Thirteenth regiment. Mnjor Cam eron's original orders to muster in companies at Ilonesdnle, Easton, Al lentown nnd Stroudsburg for the Sec ond battalion have been changed so ns to exclude the latter place, From this It Is Inferred thnt Montrose has sup planted Stroudsburg and that no com pany will bo established In the latter town unless ono of the Honesdale, Al lentown or Enston companies falls to materialize, which now seems unlikely. Today Mnjor Cameron, Dr. Hnlber stndt nnd Sorseant Ulce go to Mes shopen to muster In a company to lie attached to the Wilkes-Harre regi ment. They will be In. Scrnnton to night to examine nnd enroll tho men presented for Companies A, H and l Three rolls will be kept and when to night or tomorrow night any one of the three shows the minimum number of llfty-three on paper, the swearing In nnd election process of last night will be repeated. LIGHT SENTENCES. Women Convicted of Shoplifting Will Spend Thirty Dnyi In the County Jail. Mrs. Rachel Wlncham and Mrs. Mary Thoinns, of the North End, were sentenced to thirty dnys in the county jull by Judge Gunster yesterday. They were convicted last week of stealing from the store of Jonas Long's Sons. Attorney C. W. Dawson made a plea to the court for suspension of sentence, nnd presented a petition signed by nearly one hundred well-known resi dents of the community In which the women reside. He said that Mrs. Thonms Is getting quite old, and for ten years she had to work hard to sup port her family by means of washing, Ironing, nnd other household work. He said for Mrs. Wlncham that she has two small children, and the sep aration from them would be an untold hardship. Both women had suffered punishment of sufllclent character In the humiliation and shame of the ar rest and trial to compensate the ends of Justice. Judge Gunster made the following remarks: "I do not see iny way clear to sus pend sentence. I know It will be a severe hardship to the families of these defendants to take them nway from their children. Hut the Innocent al ways suffer most. That Is one of the greatest restraints thnt controls soci ety, the fear that misconduct may bring suffering on those whom wo love. Some Imprisonment must be imposed In this case. There must be n stop to this pilfering not only to restrain the defendants again, but nlso to restrain others from imitating their example." Mrs. Wlnchnm's two-year-old daugh ter is seriously ill, nnd she wns allowed to wait until next Monday before en tering upon her period of Imprison ment. Hnth women were visibly agi tated durlnjr the remarks of their at torney and the words of Judge Gunster. They brightened up considerably though when sentence was imposed, for they expected to be sent to jail for a term ranging anywhere from six months to a year. Thomas McDermott was on the list last week charged with refilling regis tered bottles thnt belonged to another, and sentence wns suspended on the condition that the bottles he took be restored to their owner. He must come back at the October sessions and show that ho has fulfilled the obligation. FUNERAL OF CORPORAL Q1LMARTIN.
