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;

CAMP GOSSIP.
Quartermaster Sergeant Isaac Brown
spent Saturday and Sunday with friends
In 'Washington, and enjojed several
square meals.
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

pltal. The "Doney Club" of B had a banquet
last night In "Old Man Powell's" tent.
Tho menu consisted of salmon, bread and

his return from home a few days ago,
presented a lino tick to his tent-mate.
Sergeant Zeldler. Feathers wero found

WHEN THE BOYS GET BACK.
Well, they're comln' bnck, 1 guess,

Of malaria and experience
And glory, which they've took on senco

Dead set on Hckln anything
That had a streak of veller In

And now they'ro comln' back! A lew

But we'll never let 'em feel tho lack
When the

Seems like my hide Is gcttln' tight
To bustin' with held-ln delight

I want to yelp and make a noise
That's big enough to shako the state.
Because they'ro comln' back. But wait;
Tho wcrld won't hardly hold the din

My boy Is with 'em too, you bet.
He's EOt almighty tanned and wet,

SYRACUSE RUNAWAY CAUGHT.
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.
Fifteenth District Conferees Will
Meet Today to Select One.
The Republican congressional con
ferees of Bradford, Susquehanna,
Wayne nnd Wyoming counties will

gressman James II. Codding, who Is
now filling his second term. Wyo
ming's choice Is ex-Congressman E. J.
Jordan. The Wyoming primaries were
held Saturday and tho convention yes
terday. PROBABLY A MISTAKE.
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. Miss
Magdellna Robnson, Is alarming 111 at

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

With Morris In tho box far tho MInooka
baso ball club, they are no doubt tho

The Slocum Stars defeated tho South
Side Crescents at a game of base ball
