MR. WATRES ELECTED
COLONEL OF THE 11TH
WAS UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN IN
HAItRISBUIlG SATURDAY.
Major Ghorst, of Lobnnon, Who Was
to Have Been a Candidate, Won
tho Admiration of tho Scranton
Contingent By Making nn Uncon
ditional Withdrawal nnd Was Al
most Unanimously Elected Lieu
tenant Colonel Captain Kaber, of
York, nnd Dr. Field, of Easton,
Elected Mnjois.
Hon. L. A. Wntres has been elected
colonel of tho new Eleventh provision
al regiment of tho National guard. On
Saturday night tho Scranton nnd
Honesdalo ofllcers returned from Har
rlsburg, where tho election was held,
with the satisfaction of having scored
a bloodlcts victory of having accom
plished their object without leaving
any wounds which would otherwlso
havo to be healed during the further
organizing of tho regiment.
Major Milton A. Gher.it, of Leban
on, was elected lieutenant colonel, und
Captain II. II. Ilabcr, of York, nnd Dr.
B. Hush Field, of Easton, majors.
Mr. Watrcs election was unanimous.
Nobody was opposed to him, although
Major Gherst was a candidate until a
short time before the election wns held.
The latter won the admiration of nil
of Mr. AVatres' supporters not only In
withdrawing, but, nlso, In declining to
make his retirement conditional upon
tho election of any of his friends to tho
other ofllcers. lie was elected lieuten
ant colonel almost unanimously and
without any solicitation on his part.
MAJOR GHERST'S REPLY.
It wns explained to Major Gherst by
long-distance telcphono from Scranton
Friday evening that a new armory for
Scranton depended largely on having
the colonelcy nnd regimental hendquar
tcrs In this city; that his withdrawal
would not only help Scranton directly,
but would, Indirectly, help the National
guard of the state. In reply he begged
that a definite answer be not exacted
ftom him, but that tho Scranton of
llcers settle the matter with his friends.
They had conducted the ennvass in his
behalf, he said, nnd they should be
consulted, although he was, personal
ly, willing to retire.
That was the situation Saturday
morning.
When Colonel E. II. Ripple and tho
Scranton ofllcers reached Harrlsburg
they had little or no dlfllculty In Induc
ing Major Ghcrst's friends to withdraw
his candidacy and make Mr. Watres'
election unanimous. In justice to tho
latter it should be said that he, like
Major Gherst, took no part whatso
ever in tho canvass In his behalf at nny
time.
The only candidate nomlnnted In op
position to Major Gherst for lieutenant
colonel was Captain M. J. Fitzgerald,
of Lebanon. Out of the thirty-four
votes present, he received only those
of the Lebanon and Allentown officers.
lie is an ex-United States army of
llcer and has for many years been well
known In tho National guard as com
mander of Company I, Fourth regi
ment. Major Gherst has been the re
cent assistant adjutant general of tho
Third brigade of the provisional guard
on Brigadier General Magee's staff.
CANDIDATE FOR MAJOR.
Captain H. M. Philllppl, of Reading,
was the only opponent of Captain Ra
ber and Dr. Field for the two ma
jorships. He received the votes of the
ofllcers of only one company In addi
tion to the votes of tho Reading of
ficers. While tho regiment comprises
three battalions, only two majors nre
required under the United States army
regulations, which provides that the
lieutenant colonel shall command one
battalion.
Saturday's election does not by any
means complete the organization of tho
regiment. Colonel Watrcs has many
uppointments to make, and the condi
tions are such that several weeks must
elapse before this can be done. Among
the features to be considered nre these:
Scranton has three companies and the
colonelcy and must be tho regimental
headquarters: Lebanon, York and Ens
ton aro In part cared for In tho elec
tion of regimental ofllcers from those
places.
The adjutant will, almost beyond a
doubt, be appointed from Scranton as
the one in that position must be in
close touch with the commander of tho
regiment. Tho same observation ap
plies to tho sergeant mnjor, a non
com, who bears the same relation to
the adjutant as does tho latter to tho
colonel.
Battalion adjutants will not be ap
pointed. In tho new three-battalion
formation, the United Stntes army rule
will be followed whereby second lieu
tenants, detailed from tho line for that
purpose, will act as battalion adjut
ants. COMPLETE THE LIST.
A quartermaster, an Inspector of rifle
practice, a surgeon major and two
assistant surgeons complete the list of
commissioned ofllcers, nil to bo ap
pointed by tho colonel. To make theso
selections will be no easy task con
sidering the fact that they are to bo
f-elected from twelve companies in ten
cities.
But In addition there aro to be ap
pointed by the colonel the following
non-commlssloned officers: A sergeant
major, n quartermaster sergeant, n.
commissary sergeant nnd a hospital
steward. There will be no battalion
sergeant majors.
m
IT IS HERE.
The Greatest and Best of All Dog,
Pony nnd Monkey Shows.
Slpe nnd Blake's great combination
of trained quadrupeds will havo arrived
In this city long before this reaches
our many readers, and thplr vast can
vas amphltheatero will be erected at
an early hour. During tho morning
the dogs, ponies and monkeys together
with numerous cages, vans nnd dim
inutive chariots highly enamelled will
parade through the principal streets
with banners waving and flags flying,
accompanied by the music of Profes
sor Wack's great band. Tho flrst per
formance will be given at 2 p. m. and
will doubtless be witnessed by a vast
concourse of our citizens. The show
remains here four days giving two per
formances each day.
Doctor Sues a Constable.
Dr. J. J. Bllhelmer Saturday Issued
a writ of replevin against Richard
Barron, the Prlceburg constable, to re
cover a horse, wagon and harness
which ho claims the defendant is un
justly and Illegally holding. The plain-
I tiff claim that he owns these articles

sion of them. Tho writ was issued and

RAILROADERS OUTING.
Many Attended tho Pree Excursion
Given Them to Heart If.ko.
Saturday.
The weather man was kind to tho
Ralltoad Young Men's Christian asso
ciation Saturday morning on the occa
sion of their excursion to Heart lako
and furnished a day that was ns bright
and beautiful as It could havo been
were it In tho month of June. There
were between 3j0 and 430 persons on
tho excursion.
To see tho railroad man at his work
on tho eiiBlne, on tho cars or In
the shop Is one thing, but to see htm on
an wcurslon In the midst of his family
Is to see him nt his best. He appear
ed a. well groomed, good-looking and
withal an Intelligent gentleman nnd
his wife equalled him In every respect.
His children were lots of all slr.es and
description. He had many grown up
daughters present who were trim look
ing, beautiful and nccompllshed. Ho
had a number of grown up sons along,
but ihey wure not exactly with him,
as they had girls of tlielr own.
HEART LKE.
Heart" lake Is a beautiful place high
up In the mountains of Susquehanna
county whero the nlr Is so bracing
that every breath you draw seems to
give new life.
A programme of athletic events had
been arranged. The winner of each
event was presented with a beautifully
engraved gold or silver medal. Tho
boat race at 10.30 a. m. was rowed In
three heats. Calvin Coons won flrst
prize and Wilford Fletcher second.
Tho third heat was a foul. The con
testants were:
George Nansteel, H. Hnnco, G. E.
MIttcer, W. Fletcher, Ted Coons, R.
M. Brown.
In the 100-yard dash were: G. A.
Brown, Edward Getz,, August Getz, C.
W. Morris, W. Fletcher, H. M. Marsh,
T. Ryder. It was won by C. W. Mor
rsl; C. W. Fletcher second.
The 220-ard dash, was participated
In by August Getz, W. Fletcher and
E. Werthamer. Fletcher won. Getz,
second.
In tho obstacle race were: G. A.
Brown, Thomas Ryder, E. Warthamer,
R. McCall. This event was won by W.
Werthamer; R. McCale, second.
GOOD MANAGEMENT.
Tho happiness of every body was
largely due to tho management of tho
Railroad Young Men's Christian asso
ciation, nnd the kindness of W. F.
Hallstead , of the railroad company,
who furnished tho train. Every rail
road man who held a membership
ticket In tho association had been In
vited to come and bring his family no
matter how large. The committee in
charge were as follows:
J. R. Troch, R. I". McKennn, E. K.
Crothamel, D. J. Whlteford, William
Frlnk, A. Frounfolker, M. V. Neeley,

DEWEY'S RELATIVE RANK.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: I am In hearty accord with most
of your editorial of today entitled
"Dewey." I cordially agree with nil your
words of praise to this distinguished offi
cer, and your suggestion that he bo given
tho rank of admiral as the legitimate suc
cessor of Farragut and Porter although
In my Judgment Schley's work ut Santi
ago will bear qulto favorable comparison
with tho victory of Dewey. But I writo
this note to protest against a remark in
your editorial which 1 must bellco was
hurriedly written. You say: "1'wo men
boforo him Farragut and Porter havo
been made admirals. To this list con
gress will not fall to udd a third, whom
history without doubt will mention as tho
greatest of all." History can do nothing
of this kind In Jistlco to thoso magma-
cent heroes of tho old navy. It Is enough
that Dewey's namo should bo mentioned
with theirs. Ho needs no higher praise.
But to say that ho Is greater than tho
grand old commander of tho "Hartford,"
or tho hero of tho Mississippi, is to ig
nore a scries of tervlces by both Farra
gut and PortPr which have long been ac.
knowledgcd by tho world as among tho
most llluttrlous ever rendered by nny of
ficers In tho history of naval warfare,
Farragut's record for daring achieve
ments, showing coolness of head, extra
ordinary courogo and clear judgment, is
unique. It must bo remembered, In mak
ing comparison, that tho heroes of this
Spanlfch-Americnn war did not go up
ngalnst Americans, but against Span
lards, Farragut and Porter won their
laurels fighting Confederates, who are
our own flesh and blood. Had our boys
of tho army and navy In their present
war "run up ngalnst," for example, Joe
Wheeler or Fltzhugh Lee, and their col
leagues of tho Confederate navy, it would
doubtless havo been more cxpcnslvo, and
as In tho days of yore, might not always
havo been cno way.
