; a Vt THE SCRANTON TRlBtTNE-TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1898 CAMP ALGER IS BEING DESERTED EWELrTH PENNSYLVANIA HAS GONE TO CAMP MEADE. Eighth Leaves This Morning and Thirteenth Is Scheduled to Dopart on Thursday Order from the War Department Directs That the Sixty-Fifth New York Bo Mustered Out of the Service Pennsylvania's Example in Removing Sick Sol diers Is Being Followed, Gocclnl to tho Scranton Tribune. Camp Alger, Dunn Lorlng, Aug. 29. The Twelfth Pennsylvania left here this afternoon for Camp Meade In three sections, the last going at 4.20. The men wero in good spirits. Captain Morris, of General Qobln's staff, says tho Eighth will leavo tomorrow morn ing at 9 o'clock. The Thirteenth Is pos itively scheduled to move on Thursday morning. Tho news Is well received by the boys. The last net In tho drama, or rather the tragedy of Camp Alger has .lust begun. After all the ups and downs tho doubts, the uncertainties, tho or ders and the countermands of orders, the end Is fast approaching, und by the nd of the week the Second army corps ut this place will have been reduced to almost a corporal's guard. Up to the last moment even the commanding of ficers were skeptical and to continue the general method heretofore pursued, todny there are not sufficient transpor tation facilities here to take one reg iment off the grounds. Till late last evening nothing wad known of the fate of the Sixty-fifth New York which was scheduled to move the first thing this morning. It was well understood that Governor Black, of the Empire state, wns In Washington and exerting all his Influ ence, personal and polltlcul to secure an order to muster out the Sixty-fifth. He was In the capital for two days, which fact gave some strong probabil ity that his mission would not be en tirely In vain. It was not, and last night Adjutant General II. C. Corbln officially published the following order: Adjutant General's Olllce, Washington, D. C, Aug. 25, 1803. Commanding General United States Troops Dunn Lorlnc. Va.: The secretary of war directs that the destination of the Sixty-fifth volunteer infantry bo changed from Camp Jit-ado to liuftalo, N. Y where It will go Into quarters In the utatc armory, Sixty-fifth Krglmcntul Natlot al Guard, and under direction of the colonel of tho regiment tho officers will bo given leavo if lib bcneo for thirty days al the enlisted men furloughs for samo period. On the ex plr.itlon of these leaves of absence and furloughs the regiment will icassemblo nt the armory for physical examination and muster out, under the regulations published from this olllce. The c.imp and garrison equipage and ammunition not carried In the belts of the men will bo turned over to the ofllccr designated by you. Tho necessary orders will be given by you for all men on detuched FCnlce to go homo with the regiment. The quar termaster's decartment will furnish transportation and tho subslsteneo de partment necessary travel rations. KIND OP ORDER EXPECTED. This is exactly the kind of an order which has been expected for some time by the men of many of the regiments, and tho members of the Thirteenth are now beginning to ask themselves the question whether or not this Is the same kind of procedure which will be applied In their case. The New Yorkers are now resting easily, und are making ariangements for the transportation of the men to Buffalo. There Is general rejoicing In their camp, and "Put Mo Off at Ruf alo" Is now their favorite tune. The movements of the Pennsylvania troops now here have had to be some what modified on account of the action of the war department In regard to the New York regiment. The division quartermaster Is puzzled and at a loss to know what to do. Orders have been Issued so peremptorily and so unex pectedly, and then countermanded so quickly that it is hard to foresee what is coming next, or what preparations are to be made. As expected, the Eighth would have gone this morning, Instead of tho New York regiment, but, being a ten-company regiment, the quartermaster of the division could not command trans portation facilities sufficient to get it away intact. Then the Twelfth got the word to go, and at this writing the Dunn Lorlng depot Is the scene of Ki eater excitement and business activ ity than it has ever been its fortune to see before. The Twelfth, like the Thirteenth, consists of eight companies and can be moved In two sections. In speaking to Colonel Coursen and Lieutenant Colonel Mattes this morn ing, I was informed that the Thirteenth would try its best to leave today, but, on account of poor railroad facilities and the unexpectedness of the order to them, that regiment might not bo able to leave before tomorrow morn ing. It was also stated by Colonel Mattes that the Eighth would be moved before the Thirteenth. Thurs day evening the three regiments, will surely be camped on their native heath. The example of Pennsylvania in re moving her sick soldiers from hero to tho hospitals at Philadelphia seems to be contagious. Five commodious Pull man cars yesterday afternoon carried nway all sick MIssourlans who were strong enough to allow them to be re moved. This afternoon New York state will take nway over one hundred of her soldiers, and other states are preparing to take similar action In re. Hard to their citizen-soldiers who are in the hospital here. Major C. R. Parke, who was relieved from duty here, by order of Corps Sur geon Glrard, and ordered to report as soon ns possible at Camp Meade, Mld dletown, left here for that place nt noon today. Major Phillips takes his place. LEAVES FOR THE WEST. Lieutenant William Inglls, o'f D, one of General Gobln's aides, left camp for Colorado Springs this morning. He was accompanied to the depot by his entire compuny, all of whom wished lilm a speedy return and n restoration of health. It will be remembered that Lieutenant Inglls has not been enjoy ing the best of health for some time. He got a thirty-day leave of absence, with the privilege of taking thirty more should he so desire. Lieutenant Johnson, of A, is officer of the day: Lieutenant Foote, of D, otll rer of the guard; W. A. Gould, of C, sergeant of the guard; Charles Roo. of D; Owen Hughes, of F, and James Shoplnnd, of II, corporals. Private Thomas Blair, of F, Is orderly. First Sergeant Parry, of If, was In .Washington yesterday and attended dlvlno services In the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church, where President McKlnlcy worships. After dinner ho had dinner with tho Sunday school superintendent, a Mr. Eldrldgc, who is also a clerk In tho auditing de partment. Company C Is fast regaining its old reputation which It enjoyed In the Nntlonal Ouard. When tho day's work Is done, its street Is the mecca of tho regiment. All kinds of games, more amusing that dignified, nro indulged in and a general good time ensues. Saturday night, Captain Holding and Lieutenant Murphy got tho boys started, and the company street was alternately n kindergarten, gymna sium, a school of elocution, a circus und a variety show. The nudlence was large and enthusiastic. Corporal William H. Dennis, of G, left for his homo In Montrose last night on a seven dtjs furlough. Hu received a telegram Informing him of the serious illness of his mother. Tho furlough was promptly granted. Yesterday was an unusually ulct day In camp. At roll call the boys tumbled out of their bunks In all shapes and forms and with teeth chat tering from tho cold answered to their names. This over, some sought relief In still more sleep, others gathered around the camp fires, and others still made the circuit of the drill grounds nt a double quick In order to get their blood in circulation and to take the stiffness all out of their Joints. The weather In the morning is growing perceptibly colder every day and many are now wondering what It will be when wo are once encamped on the fields bordering on the wide breezy Susquehanna. After breakfast the boys began to shine up and get on their best clothes for the reason that they Intended to make a farewell call on all friends and acquaintances, this being In all proba bility tho last Sunday which they will ever spend here. Chaplain Stahl's ab sence left the Thirteenth without any regular religious services, but services at tho Y. M. C. A. tent were well at tended. The Catholic members of the division went to West Falls church where a mass was said and speclnl prayers offered by Rev. Father Lee, of Washington, for all the soldiers of this division who have died and for the speedy recovery of all who are now suffering In tho hospitals, and this without any distinction of creed. MISSOURI HOSPITAL TRAIN. Yesterday morning a hospital train pulled into the station at Dunn Lorlng which was gotten up by tho authorities of the state of Missouri for the purpose of removing all the soldiers from that state who were sick in the division hos pital and capable of being icmoved. In a short time tho ambulance began to pass back and forth with Increasing activity till the whole train of five cars were filled. The patients stood the trials of removal bravely. No one com plained and everything was done to alleviate the sufferings and to add to their ease and comfort. In the after noon the train pulled out and left for the west by way of Washington. OFFICIAL ORDER TO MOVE. Tho ofllclal order to move the division from this place to Mlddletown was sent two days ago and received formal ly at jeglmentnl headquarters yester day.

Governor Hastings ar rived with the hospital train from Chlckamauga about noon today, north bound, with thirty-three of the sick members of the Ninth from hospitals there. The following nro nmong the sick: Anthony Dougherty, Harry A. Ward. All the sick men are In good condition. "The following were sent home on furloughs from Camp Hamilton: "Wilkes-narre William Purvis, John F. Frear, John Kelly, AVI'llam T. Ev ans, Oscar Klein, Reuben Fassett, Thomas Jones, George Rhodes. Harry M. Bloom, William Dunn, Thomas Rowe, William H. Slbert. "Plttston Edwin Gctts, Thomas Nicholson, Daniel Williams, Lewis Klshpaugh. "White Haven E. T. Trimmer.

"Dr. Weaver, regimental surgeon, was taken sick on the train and when Lexington was reached he was sent to the Protestant inflrmnry. He is suf fering from appendicitis. Dr. Charles II. Miner has been detailed as surgeon of the Ninth until further orders. Cap tain Moore, of Towanda, received a telegram that his brother Is critically 111 at the Lelter hospital and he left at once for Chlckamauga." Captain Darius L. MIers, of company E, Ninth regiment P. V., who was brought from Chlckamauga to Wilkes Barre on tho hospital train that reach ed there Friday morning died at his home, 170 Hazlo street, at 8.80 on Sat urday morning. Captain MIers had been 111 with typhoid fever three weeks. His case was considered the most ser ious one on the train, but yet his con dition was believed to be not especially critical. Captain MIers was one of the ablest members of the Ninth regiment and for years was one of Its most pop. ular officers. Ho was born in Lehman Centre, July 30, 1SG2. His father died when hn was quiet yourtg and his only educational advantages were those of tho public schools. A year after his father's death his mother passed away, thus leaving the boy without father or mother at the age of J2 years. When he was 15 years old he moved to Laurel Run where he secured a position, In 1SS0 ho camo to Wllkes-Barre and on May 22, of that same year, enlisted In company F, Ninth regiment, N. G. P. He was elected corporal July 22, 1885; sergennt April 15, 18SC, and first lieu tenant May 3, 18S9. On November 7, 1892, he was elected captain. He re signed from company F on December 9, 1893, and rc-enllsted on the same date In company B, of which he was elected MPtniu on December 23, 1895, and re tm mained with the company until tho time of his death. The funeral will ho held this nttcrnoon at 2 o'clock. The place of the funeral services will be an nounced later. - CAPTAIN DUNCAN'S CASE. Ho Will Be Punished by Civil and Military Authorities. Washington, Aug. 29. Captain Louis C. Duncan, surgeon of the Twenty-second Kansas regiment, is held by the sheriff of Fairfax county, Va., to an swer an indictment charging him with desecrating confederate graves at Bull Run, near Manassas. It appears that Dr. Duncan, whose case has now become famous, was njt sentenced to five years' imprisonment, as reported from Camp Meade, Pa., but escaped much more lightly at th3 hands of the military court, there be ing a lack of evidence to prove that ho actually took part In despoiling the graves. He was convicted on the see ond charge, that his "conduct was pre judicial to good order and dlsclpSup." The finding of the court martial ap proved by General Davis, was that Surgeon Duncan be deprived of his rank for two months, being confined to regimental camp and forfeit half his pay for the same length of time, and that he be reprimanded by the com manding general. How Doctor Duncan Is to be con fined to regimental camp for two months when he Is now the prisoner of tho sheriff nt Fairfax county Is dif ficult to determine. His regiment has removed from Thoroughfare Gap to Camp Meade, Pa. It is understood that when the sheriff presented his warrant for him under the state Indict ment, the surgeon was voluntarily sur rendered. A clash between, the state authorities and the wnr department may develope, though the case has not been brought to attention In Washing ton as yet. CAMP WIKOFF TO BE RETAINED. The Wnr Department Hns No Inten tion of Abandoning It. Washington, Aug. 25. The war de partment has no.lntentlon of abandon ing Camp Vvlkoff, said Adjutant Gen eial Corbln today. Although no order to abandon Camp Wlkoff has been issued the volunteer;! there are to be mustered out or grant ed fui loughs when recuperated. Other provision is to ho made for the regu lars, who will probably be distributed among tho nrmy posts of the country as soon as possible. Montauk Point was established for use only as a detention camp. The de partment still insists that it Is well adapted for that use. Deaths at Camp Wikoff. New York, Aug. L9.-Fifleen boidie-s died at Camp Wlkoff today. There were two deaths among the men suspected of having yellow fover and detained in tho quarantine hospital. Three transports were sighted tonight. One Iu thought to be the Mexico with General Shatter on board. No Decision Given. Philadelphia. Aug. 29.-Joo Goddard and Sob Armstrong faced each other for six rounds tonight at the Arena. Tho bout wns spiritless throvgliout, neither man nttemptlng to present any evidence of fighting qualities No decltion was given. TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY. It Will Revolutionize Traffic in That Part of the World. From tho Forum. Interminable distances of monoton ous Asiatic geography will before long be speedily traversed In comparative comfort, If undertaken in the typical corridor car of the first class, common ly met with on the Russia railways, and thereafter in the boats on the river route to Vladlvostock. What a con tract such travel will be to those who have laboriously covered the same ground under pre-existing conditions! Then, tho seemingly endless Journey was undertaken with whatever uncom fortable primitive vehicle might be found at hand, appropriate either to summer mud or arctic winter snow. But soon the comfortable travel of the bleeping cats, with leisurely waits at meal stations, and, later, the easy-going advance of the river vessels, with full personal security and polite at tendance, may safely be reckoned upon, thus accentuating tho extraor dinary triumphs over obstructive phy sical dttllcultlcs which may be accom plished by persistent and intelligently directed human effort. According to an ofllclal Russian re port, some of the goods bound from China or Siberia to Russia proper were formerly a year on tho road. The fur clad, snow-bound Journey across the steppes, with its frightful monotony, relieved only by occasional stops for tea and for change of horses at the posting houses, is n fnmllar picture in literature. It is another striking con trast that perhaps in the corning sum mer the new rail and river route may he open to any robust traveler who, equipped with homo passport and with a special permit from the St. Peters burg authorities, is prepared to meet rough wagon travel over a few hun dred miles of uncompleted railway bf tween Lake Baikal and the Shllka river. Whatever ho may encounter, this much to certain, that If he is an American and properly vouched for. ho will find extreme and unfailing sympathy nnd civility from all tho Russians officials and others as those of his countrymen who have metvthese gentlemen will gladly testify. - - LAFAYETTE'S GOOD MEMORY.

WHEN the Ready-to-Wear Costume first appeared it was greeted with enthusiasm by thousands of women, who saw in it not only a saving of time, but a saving of money, But there were objections. The chief objection was a marked similar ity of style. One costume was very like another, and the purchaser found herself duplicated at every street corner. Things are different now, and we have done our share in bringing about the revolution. The objection of duplication has not beeu fully re moved as a whole, but it has been entirely eliminated from this store. There is no point in which we are so particular as in this matter of exclusiveness of style. The gowns you find here have no duplicates elsewhere. The first thing you'll notice will be the jaunty, snappy, tasteful, stylish air about them. The next thing will be the exquisite finish and detail of their manu facture, made as they should be made. Made as you like to have them made. The materials are Coverts, Broad Cloths and Cheviots, in the season's new shades. Most of the suits are fully silk lined, some tight-fitting, others in double-breasted or reefer effect.

The front door opens into a large square room, which was used by Washington for his public audience, nnd as a dining hall. It is re markable for havinr seven doors and only one window. In a recent publication, "A Godchild of Washington," the author quotes from the New York Mirror of 1S34 an Interesting anecdote connected with this room. Its authority is Colonel Nicholas Fish, a soldier of the revolu tion, and the father of Hon. Hamilton Fish, secrefary of state under President Grant. Just before Lafayette's death he was Invited, -with the American minister, to dine at the house of Marbols, who was the French secretary of legation to the American colonies during the revolution. When dinner was announc ed, the company were shown Into n room which contrasted strangely with the elegance of the other apartments. A low, boarded, painted celling, with large beams, a single small, uncur tained window, with numerous small doors, ns well as the general style of tho whole, gave, at first, the idea of the kitchen or largest room of a Dutch or Belgian farm house. On a rough table was a repast which consisted of a large dish of meat, un couth looking pastry, and wine In de canters nnd bottles, accompanied by glass and silver mugs, such as indi cated other habits and tastes than those of modern Paris. "Do you know where you are?" said the host to Lafayette. He paused for a few moments he had seen something like this before, but when and where? "Ah! the seven doors and one win dow! nnd the silver cntnp goblets, such as the marshals of France used in my youth!" exclaimed Lafayette. "We are at Washington's headquarters on tho Hudson, 50 years ago!" WAS ANTHONY SALVENSKI. Man Killed on the Itailroad Sunday Night Is Identified.
