THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY, AUGUST 23. 1898 STILL SPECULATING ON DESTINATION EXPERIENCE TEACHES THAT NOTHING IS CERTAIN. ELumb'er Being Distributed for Floor ing nnd New; Tents Issued No Furloughs Are to So Granted for tho- Present Private Baker In jured Eevlow .Will lake Place To dayPrivate Morris Thomas May Go to .Cuba with General Butlor. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng, Va., 'Aug. 22. Camp Is very quiet today save for the steady undercurrent of speculation which Is coins' on regarding the ques tion of the regiment's chances of being cent to Cuba. The same doubt' nnd Indecision exist Jn this ns In all other mattersi)"q;',,yltfti Interest to the men here, notwithstanding the expressed opinions of some of tho high military authorities. The only thing vhch peemed to Indicate that this corps would be used as part of the army of occupation In Cuba was the appoint ment of Major General Butler ns one of the military commissioners to that island. That was tho turning point which immediately warranted the con clusion that Havana would soon be the Thirteenth's destination. However, the entire conduct of the war and the fate and fortunes of this very corps Itself proves beyond a doubt nothing Is, till It nctually Is. Plans have been changed and adjusted from hour to hour until It has become Impossible to conjecture what will come next, nnd, to say this time this body of men, or that, will be sent to Cuba on or about the first, or the mid dle of next October would be such a flat, palpable contradiction of the gen eral conduct of nffalrs during the pre sent difficulty that it Is little less than nn absurdity, to state It as a certaln ity. It may, nnd It may not, you may take your choice. On this point one moro thing sug gests Itself forcibly. During actual hostilities It was evidently the purpose of the administration to give. In so far ns It was possible, to each state In the union some representation at the front, nnd In this respect perhaps, Pennsyl vania has even more than Its quota. Now will this same system be carried out while peace Is pending and after It shall have been declared?If so then several f the regiments of the Key stone state will be mustered out; and even the three here, the Eighth, Thir teenth and Twefth, composing the Third brigade of this division, would be more than our state would be en titled to measured by the system and method thus far pursued. While every thing Is possible nothing Is certain, and this Is the sum total of tho ques tion as it stands at present. Already members of the First New Jersey are beginning to complain of the Third Vlrzlnln, whose blnks, they say, are poorly kept whose camp In general Is, according to the allegations of the Jerseyltes, In a decidedly unsan itary condition. One thing Is certain, typhoid Is gaining ground In the new Jersey regiment, and on Saturday in one company alone five victims were claimed by this dread dlscyise. In the other companies two men have been falling dally and all this is charged ngalnst the Virginians and the state of their camp. Doubtless the attention of higher officials will be called to the matter, especially If this rate of sick ness continues among tho Jerseyltes. LUMBER FOR FLOORING. It Is the purpose of tho authorities to reduce sickness and disease to the minimum. The dews which have been falling nights for the past week are extraordinary heavy. The grass Is drenched and the ground Is damp, and even the tents do not prevent the ponchos which the men wear over them while sleeping from being wet through and through. It is for the purpose of nddlng something by way of conven ience to camp life, ana In order, at the same time, to protect health and life, that lumber is to be soon Issued to each regiment. It will be used for tent floors, nnd will make the con ditions surrounding the men more en joyable and more healthful. All are looking forward anxiously to this Im provement, and especially now that it is settled that we are to remain here long Into the fall. Quartermaster Cox expects that the lumber, at least In part, will be received some time this nfternoon, nnd will be Issued by him without delay. The remainder, it Is expected, will be here in a few days. The usual' Sunday services were held yesterday morning In this brigade. As the Rev. Mr. Rick, of tho Twelfth, had died at his home In TVIlIIamsport, his place was supplied in the morning at 8.30 o'clock by Chaplain Stahl, who took for his text the words: "Where fore, seeing we are compassed about with bo great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that doth so easily beset us." Heb. xil: 1. He spoke of the strife that Is go ing on here below, how the angels are looking down upon sinners, how the saints behold struggling Christians, and the patriots of the past observe us now. At 10 o'clock he returned to the Thirteenth and held services In the Young Men's Christian association tent, using ns his text tho words of John lx: 4: "I must work the work of Him that sent Me while it is day. The night cometh." His theme was "Lost Opportunities," and he told his hearers not to lose this great opportunity of saving their souls and serving their country. The Catholic members of tho regi ments went to East Falls church and attended the mass celebrated there by Rev. Father Bowler. Several new additions and improve ments have been; made to the condi tions of.sqljilelrilljfe here. Quartermas ter Cox has been working indefatlgably Blnce his return to camp a few days ago. The "Myer's Military Stove" has been Issued to each company. It has a stove pipe attached and tin boilers. It is very handy, though somewhat small, and is a winter addition of the "buzacotte stove." A number of new tents have been Issued and this is certainly one of tho greatest and most needed of Improve ments. Muny of the old tents were all right for summer, but entirely Useless for a season of rain and changing weather. They were antiquated, weather-beaten, ripped In places and looked as If the canvas had been rid dled with very fine shot. As a conse quence, whenever it would rain, the tents would, to use a nautical expres elon, "spring a leak" every time. This defect Is now being remedied to a cer tain extent and se.veral new tents havo been issued. More aro expected in a few days, and this has added much to the comfort and happiness of the boys. Several of them whoso tents were par ticularly bad, gave "house warmings" when they got the now ones, new coffee roasters havo also becti received and Issued. Chaplain Stohl's library Is, however, ona of the most appreciated of tho late Improvements. A few days ago he re ceived a consignment of good novels, and of such magazines as Munscy's, Metropolitan, Homo Magazine, Me Cluro's and tho Century, the gifts of the King's Daughters of tho Green Rldgo Presbyterian church, and of Miss Helen Hand, of Scranton. The books nnd mnguzlnes have been placed on shelves erected In Dr. Merrlmnn's empty tent. The donations are a boon. Thj boys were out of reading matter, but now have nil they want. Chaplain Stahl Is librarian. Tho books and mag azines are already In great demand. SUSPENSION OF FURLOUGHS. It was expected that, as the soldiers were to remain hero for some tlmo yet, furloughs would be issued nt once to those whoso applications havo been sent In. This morning your corres pondent went to see Acting Division General Gobln In regard to tlils matter and was Informed that, from a purely technical and military standpoint, tho division Is ctlU supposed to be under orders, notwithstanding tho unfavor able report of Corps Surgeon Qlrard In regard to Mlddletown as n camping ground: and that, therefore, It was not his Intention for the present to begin issuing furloughs again, or at least, not for the present. Private John R. Baker, of H, sus tained a painful Injury of the three first fingers of tho right hand yester day afternoon. He was a member of the water detail, and, In lifting one of the large barrels of water from the army wagon to the ground, his fingers were caught between tho ground nnd the lower rim of the heavy barrel. Tho skin wns torn and the flesh badly lac erated, tho bones appearing in some places. Luckily, no bones were broken or crushed. Surgeon Major Keller was at once summoned, dressed the wound and put in several stitches. He says the hand will be all right In a short time: Private Baker has the sympa thy of all the boys, many of whom havo had narrow escapes from a simi lar accident while on the water detail. In the matter of tho petitions circu lated In some ot the companies asking to be discharged now that the war is at an end nothing of importance has transpired since the last writing. It Is understoood, however, that petitions are being circulated, and aro receiving many signers. The grand review of the Third bri gade tomorrow afternoon on tne old Camp Alger grounds is the cause of no little interest at present. The re view of the First brigade took place this afternoon in the presence of Gen eral Gobln and staff. The old camp ing grounds are now a past memory, and the boys of the Third brigade will be glad to take a walk there tomorrow afternoon, and march over tho spots once more memorable by hard drilling and a scorching sun. On Sunday" Captain Derman was of ficer of the day; Lieutenant Murphy, of C, ofilcer of the guard; Clarence Seward, of D, sergeant of tho guard; Charles "tt'rlgley, of F, Fred Beller shelm, of B, and Merrltt Blddleman, of II. corporals.

Private Morrl3 Then as, of C, seems dc sttned for a lucky future. For some time ho has been General Butler's orderly. The general becamo quite taken with him and as a military commissioner will still be entitled to an orderly. When leaving Saturday ho told Mr. Thomas that In ull probability ho would soon be with him on Cuban soil. Tho orderly Is delighted at tho prospect and tho members of C company will accordingly rejoice at this honor and good fortune for one of their number. Captain Dermon, of A, has returned after a two days' leave of absence ftom camp. Since the boys became half Imbued with tho idea that they are going to Cuba and tho new Spanish hand books wero Issued, the sound of tho Castlllan tonguo Is heard quite frequently In the company streets. Two or three regular classes havo been organized by Professor Paschalls, nnd nil aro mnklng rapid strides In mastering that language. Tho boys propose to be able to, at least, ask for a glass, or a bottle of "Verveza" if they ever get dry In Cuba. Private James J. Coibett, of C, is indis posed. Several of the boys of E havo received boxes from home, and there Is much re joicing in the company street. Captain McCauslnnd, of G, returned yesterday after a fifteen-day leave of ab fcencc. Private L. Phillips, of F, Is the hap py possessor of a beautiful pair of sleevo. holders, presented to him by some Hydo Park young ladles. Ho received them yesterday. Private Edward C.

After the banquet trio mem bers of tho club passed In review, each one smoking a cigar. Wagoner Mallot, m his return from home a few days ago, presented a lino tick to his tent-mate. Sergeant Zeldler. Feathers wero found soon after In the sergeant's tent, for which offense ho Is to bo tried tomorrow. Taking a bath, or having a feather pil low, or feather tick, aro canital offence. Your correspondent has been retained to take care of tho offending sergeant.

Is an Independent Young Miss Who Wants Her Own Way. A young Syracuse girl described as wayward by her relatives, was taken Into custody by Chief of Police Gur rell yesterday afternoon. The girl was pointed out to him on Lackawanna avenue by a married sister who had found the younger one on the street. The latter, however, had refused to ac company her sister home. The girl ran away from her home In Syracuse several weeks ago. When she appeared at the home of her mar ried sister in this city, it was thought she would be contented here. She dis appeared several days ago nnd when found on the street yesterday said she had been to New York city and pre ferred to live In future Independently of the direction of relatives. After Chief Gurrell had taken the girl In charge she disappeared while en route to the central police station. She was found again and at police headquarters said she was willing to return to Syracuse. She was taken by the Associated Charities' agent early In the evening to the Florence Crit tenden mission for the night. FIRST ARREST IN THIS DISTRICT Pool Room Keeper Resisted Collec tion of War Revenue Tax. The first arrest In Collector Ppnmnn'a district for violation of the provisions of the war revenue bill occurred in Wllkes-Barre Saturday. When Deputy R. B. Brundage went to collect tax at a pool room In the Pell block, on South Main street, kept by a colored man named John Haw kins, he was roundlv abused hv th proprietor and ordered to get himself gone. Hawkins was held In $300 ball by United States Commissioner Hahn to answer at court. ACCUSED BY" HIS WIFE. Oliver Morton Will Have to Answer Two Charges. A warrant was issued Saturday by Alderman Kosson for tho arrest of Oliver Martin, charging him with hav ing stolen a horse and threatening to kill. His wife, from whom he has been separated for many months, preferred the charges. Deputy Constable Mink arrested Martin yesterday near his wife's farm at "No. 21" along the old gravity road. Martin was taken to the city last night, and will be arraigned for a hearing this afternoon. INJUNCTION CASES QO OVER. Continued Until the Regular Sep tember Term of Court. The Swetland street Injunction case was yesterday put over until the Sep tember term of equity court by Judge Qunster. Ex-Judgo Knapp representing the Railway company, wanted Immediate disposition made. It Is immaterial to the company, he stated, whether the tracks be laid In the center or at the side of the street, but it Is very mater ial to the company to have It finally and officially defined where the tracks are to go. Judge Qunster thought It best, how ever, to have the matter come up at tm m& the regular term of court and declined to mako uf decision. , By agreement the Injunction case ot McDado and others against A. D. nnd F. M. Spencer was continued to Thurs day, Sept. 15. .. SHOW BY TRAINED ANIMALS. Can Bo Seen at Wyoming Avenue nnd Ash Street. Slpc and Blake Introduced a new idea in the way of a circus to tho people of Scranton yesterday. In every well regulated circus nnlmal3 have a con spicuous place, but In the ono controll ed by Slpo and Blake they are in tho languago of tho street gamin the "whole thing." Trained' dogs, ponies, and monkeys give a performance that Is decidedly cntcrtntntng and marvel ously clever. At the performances yes terday afternoon and evening the large tent was crowded. Thq performance will be repeated nfternoon nnd even ing for thrco days. In lieu of tho usual concert at the conclusion of the circus the trained monkeys take possession of a stage erected for their uso and perform feats that seem nlmost Incredable. Their work Is by no means) the least Inter esting feature of the performance. The tents of Slpo and Blake are pitched at Wyoming avenue and Ash street CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

Reported Death of Private Hawley, of the Thirteenth. Yesterday's New York Sun and last night's Associated Press despatches contained notices of the death of "Pri vate Hawley, of the Thirteenth Penn sylvania," nt Camp Alger, from ty phoid fever. Nothing, however, has been said of any death In the Thir teenth In the letters of The Tribune's correspondent, and It is quite likely that the announcement Is In error. There Is a Hawley, a Howley and a Holly in the Thirteenth, and one of them, Private Martin Howley, was suf fering from typhoid fever. His rela tives here have received no word of his death. MISS ROBINSON VERY ILL. But Faint Hopes of Her Recovery Are Entertained. Select Councilman Robert Robinson received a cablegram yesterday from his brother, City Controller, Edmund Robinson, which contained the dis tressing news that their sister.

AMATEUR BASE BALL. Amateur Base Ball Editor. Sir; Will you please allow me spaco to correct tho score of the Lackawanna and Crescent baso ball game In this morn ing's Usuo of your paper. At no time were the Crescents dangerous. It took us three hours to play live innings. Ev ery decision ot the umpire was questioned by tho whole Crescent team and about fifty outsiders. It was ten minutes past ieven o'clock when the Lackawannas thought It was tlmo to quit. Captain Burko questioned the umpire's dccl&ion when he called a man safo who ran six feet out of lino to avoid the second base man touching him. The feature of tho gamo was Gaughan's homo tun In the first inning with three men on bases. The correct score Is as follows: R.II.E. Lackawannas 7 Oil 4-13 9 6 Crescents 1 2 2 0 3854 A. J. Carr, Manager. Lackawanna Base Ball Club. The Eureka bese ball team challenge the West Side Browns or Harmonies for a gamo August 28. First answer accepted.

The Slocum Stars defeated tho South Side Crescents at a game of base ball Sunday morning by a score of 9 to 7 and defeated the Eccentrics In the afternoon by a scoro of 9 to 8. They would like to hear from any club In tho city under IS years of age on any grounds. Plea: an swer through Tho Tribune. E. Mo ran, manager; Welrlch, captain. Over 1,500 persons, moro than half of whom were ladles, witnessed an exciting and very interesting extra Inning game ot ball at Sheldrake on Cayuga lake. between Cayuga Lake Houso team and Sheldrake baso ball club, which was won by the former by a scoro of 9 to 5. This was tho first gamo Sheldrako has lost this season, and tho first won by tho Cay uga team from Sheldrake In flvo seasons. A. Furling came from New York express ly to pitch for Cayuga, but was hurt in practice, so ho could not play, and Pro prietor Phlnny volunteered his services. and although quite wild In tho first few Innings soon settled down and it became evident to all that he had not lost any of his speed, curves or cunning that made him famous ten years ago as the crack pitcher for the Chelseas, of Prospect Pond, Brooklyn. Not a hit was made oft him after tho third Inning. His pitching and fielding, batting and base running of Donnelly for Cayuga and the battery work of Goundry and Conde and coach ing of Casey for Sheldrake were tho fea tures of the game. Umpire Ike Long, of Wllkes-Barre, gave good satisfaction. Tho scorer was Miles Fcrllng, of New York. The Cayuga Lake House team would like to hear from all strong tcama In this section.
