26. This evening General Gobln, com
mander of tho First division, received
a message from Major General Graham
from Middletown, Pa., notifying him to
nt once begin moving the First division
from here to Camp Meade. The Klghth
Pennsylvania was scheduled to go first
but this has been changed. The Sixty

leave here, ns they have the worst sup
ply of water.
Tho division will be moved at the
rate of a regiment per day, and next
Monday is positively marked ns the
day of departure for the Sixty-fifth
Now York. At that rate the Thir
teenth will be at Middletown by the
end of next week, or by Wednesday If
the Third brigade Is given the prefer
ence. The Sixth Pennsylvania goes to
Gretna and all regiments going there
are sure to be dlschaiged. There Is no
certainty as to those which go to Mid
dletown. This Is how things stand
now, and ns given by General Gobfn
to mo this evening.
To the authorities of the Catholic
church, having such matters under
their Jurisdiction, Major Devlne, of the
Division hospital, recently made urgent
request for a corps of Sisters of Char
ity to bo used as nurses in the hos
pital under his charge. Ills efforts
were rewarded' this afternoon when
twenty sisters, who were formerly en
gaged In nursing soldiers, sick with
typhoid In the Providence hospital,
Washington, D. C, arrived here and
at once reported for duty, but hnd to
wait as Major Devlne Is nbsont. They
are comfortably qunrtered In a long
row of tents near the sick wards. They
will begin their work of mercy to
morrow. DR. PARKE APPOINTED.
This evening at 7 o'clock Brigade
Surgeon Major C. R. Parke received
notice of hla appointment ns major
surgeon of the Division hospital, to
succeed Major Devlne, who has re
ceived nnother appointment. Evident
ly tho worth of Major Parke is fully
appreciated. He will tako charge to
morrow. It Is expected with certainty that
nnother hospital train will leave here
tomorrow morning and will bring north
about one hundred patients from the
hospital here. Tho hospital train of
the Medico-Chlrurgical hospital, of
Philadelphia, left hero this afternoon
taking with It the following members
of tho Thirteenth:

Tho eight car loads of lumber for

arrived.
It was given out this evening bv n
member of General Gobln's staff that
the Fiist, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth
nnd Eighteenth Pennsylvania regi
ments are to be held, tho others to be
discharged. He also stated that It is
a question between the Fifth and the
Thirteenth as to which will be mus
tered out with very decided chances
In favor of the Thirteenth.
RAIN AND "WIND.
Camp is somewhat cold and damp
this morning and the men of the Penn
sylvania regiments nre forcibly re
minded of some of their experiences at
Hazleton and Iutlmer a little less
than a year ago. From a torrid heat
yesterday afternoon a storm came up
suddenly. It made the men act as
sailors rather than ns soldiers. Tent
poles had to be held firmly in place
nnd every loose post hole through
which the wind was gained an entrance
was kept clo&ed for five miutes.
The rain came down In torrents and
drenched everything In sight. Several
mess nnd kitchen tents were leveled
with the ground. In the large, strong
ly tightened Young Men's Christian as
sociation tent, situated between the
lines of tho Eighth nnd the Thirteenth,
havoc reigned supreme. Nearly two
hundred of the boys fled In that direc
tion thinking that It would offer tho
best protection against tho ruin and
storm; but Just about the time they
were consoling themselves at their
good fortune and their good sense In
selecting such a safe place, down it
went with a crash, borne to the ground
by the force of tho rain and the strong
gusts of wind.
It was a Btudy to see the men trying
to disentangle themselves from a con
fused mass of chairs, tables, ropes,
and wet canvas only to creep out Into
the mud and rain. Captln Smith, of E,
had a somewhat similar experience.
While taklnc a nap his tent was
crushed down upon him, but he was
rescued and pulled from under the de
bris by a squad 'df his men. As a re
sult of the Ftorm the fog this morning
was heavy and the air damp. At the
present rate of speed of the cold weath
er it will not be very long before the
boys must have some extra blankets,
flames, the cage and cable being turn-
The following order was received last
night at regimental headquarters fiom
division headquarters. It was tele
graphed by General Graham from
Camp Meade, at Middletown, Pa. to
General Gobln. '

Karl Relscliman,
Assistant Adjutant General.
The Thirteenth lias had its share of
sickness recently, nnd many of the
men have had to bo removed to the
hospital for treatment. Tho ambulance
with its corps from Division hospital
has been seen too often of late, and
every tlmo it appears complaints, loud
and long, against the men, who run It
and handlo the patients, have been
heard on every side. They give poor
satisfaction, and exhibit no degree of
system, 'efllclency, or training In man
ipulating the ambulance, or in handling
the sick.
Criticism of their methods is not un
deserved, for, no matter how sudden
tho cnll may be, these men from the
Division hospital are so slow at their
work that a patient might die a dozen
limes over before they get him into
tho ambulance, or to the hospital,
where some icllef could bo given him.
Theso hospital assistants stand In need,
not only of a rousing up, but of more
training and system.
Yesterday was a happy occasion for
127 patients who were strong enough
to bo removed from the hospltnl to the
depot at Dunn Lorlng, where they were
carefully placed on the train which
was to bring them to the Medico
Chlrurglral hospital, Philadelphia. It
was pathetic to see tho men carried
from the ambulance to the train,
strong, healthy, vigorous a week ago,
but now helpless as infants. They
lather relished the change, however,
those of them who took sufficient In
terest In tho proceedings to express
themselves.
They were placed on comfortable lit
tle cots stretched along the windows,
which were raised and covered with
mosquito netting, In order to make It
more pleasant for the patients. Tho
train steamed away for Washington
and Philadelphia in the afternoon, car
rying Its load of human sorrow and
suffering, nnd at the same tlmo the
heartfelt best wishes of those who
stood on tho platform whispering sol
emn good-bys to tho sufferers.
Adjutant General Bell, of the state
ol Missouri, Is here making arrange
ments for the removal of the Missouri
soldiers, who are In Division hospital.
He expects to remove them by train to
their own state in a short time.
CAPT. KAMBECK'S SWORD.
Last evening at S o'clock the boys
of Company B gave a surprise, ns com
plete ns It was pleasing, to their cap
tain, J. W. Kambeck For some time
past they had been lalslng a fund
which reached tho limit a short time
ago when a committee nppolnted for
the purpose, went to Washington nnd
bought a beautiful sword of the lat
est design. The matter was kept very
quiet and last night Captain Kambeck
was requested to step In front of his
tent to be signally honored by IiIe com
pany. They all gathered around and
with them were many from the other
companies of the regiment.
Private A. J. Atkinson made the
presentation speech during which he
called special attention to the esteem
in which Captain Kambeck Is held by
his men, and to his ability ns an oili
cer. In receiving the sword Captain
Kambeck duly acknowledged the
friendliness of spirit which prompted
tho men to remember him so well.
He felt that they have left nothing un
done In the way of paying him obed
ience, respect and honor. Ho could
not help feeling proud of his command,
and would never forget the gift or tho
givers. The regimental band was pres
ent nnd played several choice selec
tions. Captain Kambeck values tho sword
very highly, not only on account of Us
Intrinsic value and beauty, but also on
account of the relations between him
and those who presented it. It Is n fine
blade, of the best steel, ornamented
with eagles. Tho scabbard and the
hilt, which Is of gold and silver, are
ornamented with raised eagles in gold.
On the blade are engraved the words
"Captain J. W. Kambeck," and on the
scabbard, "Prcpented to J. W. Kam
beck, captain Company B, Thirteenth
legiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, by
the members of his company, Aug.
25, 1S9S." With the sword went nn ap
propriate Webb belt.
Immediately after the Interesting
ceremony of presentation nnd the
speechmaklng, the headquarters chef
furnished refreshments at the expense
of Captain Kambeck to the members
of the company. All enjoyed a very
peasant evening.
Your correspondent's attention has
been called to an article which was
published In the Washington Post of
Wednesday, and reprinted In The Trlb
uno of yesterday, purporting to voice
the sentiments of the entire regiment,
and stating that while the commis
sioned officers have circulated a peti
tion to Colonel Coursen and are trying
to have the regiment retained in the
service, no one of them offered to sign
the petition which was circulated
among the men some time ago, ask
ing the secretary of war to send us to
tho front when actual hostilities were
in progress.
The ofllcers are offended at the ar
ticle In tho Post, and It Is only Just
to them to say that the former peti
tion, made by the men to the secre
tary of wnr, was never Intended for
the signature of the commissioned of
ficers, and no one of them was ever
asked to sign It; and this your corre
spondent says upon the authority of
Corporal Edward Koons, of D, who got
up and circulated the petition.

Horn acted as dispenser of this very
practical form of chnrl'.v, and while
some of tho patients, whose burning
members nnd heads have been lying on
beds sufficiently hard for a sound per
son, were utmost too feverish und weak
to speak their gratitude and the relief
they felt when reclining on a soft pll

THEY MAY DIE.
Scranton Boys Are Among the Most
Seriously Sick.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2C The sick and
fever stricken Pennsylvania soldiers
broueht from Camp Alger last night on
the Pennsylvania hospital train, now
being cared for in tho Medico-Chirur-glcal,
are tonight resting us comfort
ably as Is possible for diligent physi
cians and tender, sympathetic nurses
to make them.
The row ifter row of white cots on
which lay tho wasted forms and hag
gard, emaciated faces of the volunteer
soldiers of Pennsylvania present a viv
id object lesson of the awful effects of
war. Although none of them was giv
en an opportunity to test his valor In
the line of battle, yet there lui3 been
no patriots whose condition could be
worse or whose suffering more intense
than many of the fever stricken Penn
sylvania volunteers brought here last
night. They seem to feel that they an
victims of the wretched sanitary con
ditions of a military camp, None com
plains, but every action, every glance,
lndlcntes their pleasure In being well
cared for again.
About sixty per cent, of tho cases are
fever infected nnd have been dlngnosed
as typhoid, enmp nnd malarial fever.
Dr. Shoemaker tonight said "I never
saw such severe complications In con
nection with thee diseases before. A
stay of twenty-four hours longer In the
camp hospitals would have meant the
death of at least a dozen of them.
Seven are In a very critical condition
and a dozen others are dangerously
ill."
The reven worse cases are; Sylvester
Dietrich, Company F.Thlrteenth Penn
sylvania; George Smith, Company F,
Seventh Ohio; George H. Cameron,
Company B, Twelfth Pennsylvania;
Charles Elderman, Company A,
Twelfth Pennsylnnla; Daniel Tubbs,
Company B, Thirteenth Pennsylvania;
Athens Snow, company and regiment
unknown Sergeant S. Frutchey, Com
pany B, Thirteenth Pennsylvania,
Dietrich and Snow nre the most dan
gerously sick. The former Is suffering
from hemorrhage growing out of dys
entery and the Intter Is very low with
pneumonia. Slight hope for tho recov
ery of either man Is entertained by tho
physicians.
Today noticed nn improvement In
.the condition of a number of the men
and about 15 were reported convales
cent. AN INFORMAL VISIT.

GATHERING OF IVORY.
Elephants Will Soon. Be Extinct Un
less They Are Protected.
From tho time when palaeolithic man
first drew tin rude outline of ,-tn animal
on a mammoth's tuak, Ivory ha always
been a favorite material for the nrtlst
to work upon. The gyptlans anil As
syrians used It extensively for making
ornaments, and among- the- Grooh:i some
of tho masterpieces of sculpture wero
wrought In !ory Fashion ivits Indeed
brought about a change In this respert,
and ivory Is not now 30 much used in
art; but for mote prosaic purposes it
is 61111 In great demand, and In the
manufacture of billiard balls alone
thouands of tusks are used annually.
Indeed, the demand for Ivory Is con
tinually Increasing1, and unless legisla
tion Interferes to put a stop to tho
wholcpale blaughler of elephants they
must soon become extinct.
The world's annual consumption of
ivory Is estimated ut somcthlu; like
1,500,000 pounds, valued at 34,300.000, and
to supply this arr.ount 70 UM elephants
must be killed. The consumption In
Scheflleld alone requires tho annual
slaughter of 22,000 animals. Africa s-up-plies
tho great bull; of ivory, the In
dian wild elephant having become so
scarce of late year i':at India Is now
obliged to Import a considerable quan
tity of lory. A vit: amount of fossil
ivory Is also exported from eastern Si
beria to various countries, chiefly to
the continent, whom it is more highly
estimated than In Knqland.
Africa, then, remain? the happy hunt
ing ground fcr the ivory collector. Af
ilcan Ivory, too, fetches a higher prlco
tl'an any other, being denser In textura
susceptible of a higher polish, and not
so liable to turn yellow when exposed
to tho light as the Indian kind. In
Afilca Itself the Quality is found to
to vary gieatly, tho rule being that tho
warmer the legion the finer Is tho Ivory
found there. Tho finest tusks, however,
are generally met with at some dis
tance from tho equator. Tho nnest pair
of tusks ever brought to Europe came
from Uganda, and aro valued at J9i0.
Tusks of anything like theso dimen
sions, are, however, very rare, and nro
dililcult to procure from the natives,
who value them highly, and use them
for door posts, especially In their tem
ples. Tho teeth of a full-grown "tusk
er" seldom measures over six feet, nnd
weigh from one to two hundred pounds.
Th tusk Is usually solid for about half
its length, the base being quite thin,
and therefore of little use for commer
cial purposes. Only from the upper
portion of the tusk can billiard balls
and tho bulkier articles bo made.
Tho longest tusk known came from
Tabora, East Africa, and Is 0 feet
long and weighs 97 pounds. The larg
est and tho thickest pairs of tusks In
the world measure &i feet and 9 1-3
feet and weigh 167 1-2 pounds and 174
pounds respectively; while the thick
est pair, from Nlam Nlain, In Central
Africa), are over Ave feet lonar and
their respective weight la 123 pound
and lis pounds.
