Tremendous ltosponslbllltics Ho
Tells of tho Y. M. C. A. Work nt

Meeting of tho It. 11. Y. M. 0. A.
Not Pleased with What Ho Terms
tho "Army Beer Saloon."
Life In the IjIr army enmp at Ohlek
arrmuga 'was tho tuple of an mldrrsq
by r. W. l'caisall, general secretary
of the ltnllionel Young Men's Chris
tian apFO(.!atlon, at ypstuday after
noon's gospel meeting of tho associa
tion. Mr. Pcirtall Is very veil quallMed
to talk on tho subject. TJntll recently
he was "camp general hcciotary" nt
Chlckamauga patk, which tm-ani that
ho -was In charge of tho Young Men's
Christian association headquarters and
twenty-three association tents and
flfty-flve association vvorketn.
Mr. Pearsall said: "In this bilef war
the soldier has been compelled to yield
the first place In tho settlement of tho
conflict to his sailor brother, but when
opportunity offered lie showed himself
to be not lacking In the admlrnhlp
qualities that hae ever distinguished
the American soldier.
"It was my privilege to spend two
months dutlng the past summer In
camp with the army nt Camp Thomas,
Chtckamauga, where nearly 00,000
troops weic encamped. In company
with my brother. Sanborn, of the Ites
cuo mission, and a corps of Christian
workers operating under the auspices
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion, we endeavored to bring tho
Gospel of Jesus Christ In a puctlcal
v ay to the young men who composed
our armies.
CONDITIONS AT CIIICKAMAUGA.
"I know that It will be expected that
there will be some mention of the con
ditions at Chlckainauga that resulted
In so much Illness: and a loss of life,
nearly as great as the army sustained
from sickness In Cuba. I prefer to
say little of tho hardships that we en
dured and nothing In criticism of the
government, although there was a
great deal of sickness and many
deaths. The association workers had
their share of sickness, thirteen of
them being compelled to give up the
work, because of Illness, and one, Sec
retary W. C. Taw lev, of I,lmn, Ohio,
who gave up his position at that place
to work among tho soldiers tit Chtck
amauga, laid down his life a week
ago last Friday, after a short illness
fiom typhoid feer. Whether all of
this sickness and suffering and death
was necessary, and if not tho ques
tion as to who Is to blame will un
doubtedly be the subject of offlclal In
vestigation I am not prepared to dis
cuss. In the meantime tho safest and
wisest plan Is to wait and nvnlil hasty
Judgments that may wrong the inno
cent. "One happy result of this war, de
spite Its misery, has been the blotting
out of differences between North and
South. The men of the blue and gray
who fought with such bravery at tho
bloodv angle at Gettjsburg hae
marched together undei onp flag dur
ing the past five months and past dif
ferences hae melted, turned into apor
and anlshed during the hot summer
dajs In the Southern camps.
CHARACTER GOOD.
"The character ot the men w ho com
pose our aimies is exceptionally good.
Some few, it is true, weie men of bad
character I found In one leglment
borne oung fellows who had been giv
en their choice of 'doing time' in a
reform seliool ot enlisting, and who
had chosen the nrmy Hut foi the
most part the bojs who wore the blue

"I found a Harvatel graduate acting
as hostler In a caalry troop waiting
for some one to die that he might get
a place in the ranks. Another college
graduate worked mound the mess of
another troop, waiting for the s-amo
chance.
"Ken the lanks weie dotted with
clergMuen who had fuih.il.ei. the cloth

the blue of the most menial soldier.

care should be eerclrtd over m.inv

the regiment He finally MHceedtd the
chaplain, who resigned.
"But no matter what was the per
sonal tjpe of the met. as Individual:,
they weie, without exientlon. anxious
to go to the fiont. On the evening that
orders came for a laige lnnl of men
to piepare to leave for Santiago, their
entliUbhiMii knew no hounds while the
order Was being lead. Hefore thej
broke ranks, however, another order
arrived and was road, countemanding

KHPT THACK OF Til DM
"After tho Tourth Ohio.Thlrd Illinois
and Fourth T'eiinojlvnnln left for
Torto Ulco via Chaileston, I took pains
to keep track of their. I later learned
of an Incident which shows the kind of
Btuff in on American soldier. Colonel
Colt, of the Fourth Ohio, was appoint
ed to General Brooke's staff He was
ordered one day to take 200 men on a
danerous plere of dftached duty about
thieo miles from the main body.
"Colonol Colt, knowing the good
qualities of Companies A C nnd K, of
his old command, pltkrd 200 of thoin

dered tho men lo sect; what protection
they could In a ditch alongside the rril!
road tracks, over which the wtio

the main body, nearly tlnee miles
away, for aid. The men In the ditch
P"ppered away at the enemy und kept
him under cover despite his superior
strength.
"Seeing two dynamite guns coming
to their rollof, Colonel Colt's two hun
dred men broke fiom their position,
drove the enemy out of his first en
trenchment and over the second and
Into a block hnuse and the trenches

THIRTEENTH NEEDS ICE.
Suggestion That a Fund Be Raised
to Supply tho Regiment with
This Necessity.
Colonel K. 11 Ripple yesterday re
ceived word from Major Hlchaidson,
of Harrlsburg, keeper ol the state ar
senal and quartermaster ol the provi
sional Third brigade, that Ice Is n very
much needed article nt Camp Meado
and that the Thirteenth Is the only one
of tho Pennsylvania regiments there
that Is not receiving a supply, the
f i lends of the Sixth, Highlit and
Twelfth having thoughtfully establish
ed funds with which to furnish what
ever Ice mav be needed.
Colonel Hippie- Immedlatelv tele
giaphcd Majoi Hlchaidbon to arrange
to hao the Thirteenth supplied with
what Ice It should need and that ho
would bo responsible for the pajment
of tho bill.
It Is suggested that a fund be creat
ed to supply our soldier boys with this
neceolty. Any one desiring to contil
buto can send the contribution to The
Tribune, which will see that It Is duly
aeUnow lodged and forwarded to tho
proper persons. Just what amount of
money Is needed for this purpose Is not
known yet. If It should happen that
the fund would more than met tho
needs of the regiment In this particu
lar, the balance can bo applied to pur
f basing delicacies for the sick or some
like putpo&e.

BUSH MEETING AT
NAY AUG PARK
WAS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF
REV. H. A. GRANT.
It Wns tho l'lx st of n Series
That Will bo Conducted by How
nrd Placo Africnn Methodist
Episcopal Church Rev. Mr. Qrant
Took for tho Subject of His Dls
courso "Tho King of Zion."
"Father" Nelson Was One of tho
Prominent Tiguics nt tho Uathei
ing. Tho first of a series of "bush meet
ings" under tho auspices of the How
aid Place Afilcan Methodist Bplscopal
church was held yesterday In Nay
Aug park. It was attended by colored
people from miles around, and also
attarctcd many of the several thous
and visitors who sought shelter fiom
the day's sultriness In tho city's pop
ular bieathing place.
These meetings are In nenrly every
feature similar to our northern camp
meetings. They originated In the old
slavery days In Dixie nnd nro particu
larly n colored religionists' fcstlvnl.
In some communities the bush meet
ing was a cty elaborate nffnlr, last
ing sometimes ns long as two weeks.
Generally, though, they continued only
two or tlueo d is.
The fall, when tho vvoik In tho fields
was ovei, was Invariably the seaon
of these festivals, in fact they took on
much of tho nature of a pi also and
thanksgiving service for the returns of
haivest time
Every community hnd Its fixed "bush
meeting" place It was genet ally a
gtove adjacent to the largest village,
such being helected because of tho
necessity of having convenient lodg
ing for those from a distance who
could not letuin to their home's nt
night.
WOfJLD ARRIVE EARIr.
At eaily moin on the appointed day
tho woishlppois would begin coming
In with their ox-caits. Every family
carried provisions enough for the day,
nnd one of the most onJoablo periods
would be when all would sit down to
gether beneath the trees and enjoy
their ham, coin and hoe-cako and the
inevitable water-melon desert The
usual services made up the exercises
of the day, but they were entered Into
with unusual fervor.
The local "bush meetings" of couise
ate not to bo compared with the oilg
lnal southern affairs. As far, howev
er, as circumstances will peimlt, the
features of old time meetings ato ob
served. Yesterday's meeting lasted
only throughout the nfternoon. al
though In former years, when Lam el
Hill patk was used, evening sessions
wero nlso held.
An organ resting on the greensward,
a pulpit fashlsned out of a dty-goods
box and a few benches for the choir
and the older brothers and sisters of
the church, comprised tho furniture of
the temple a grovo Just to the south
of turn In tho main road through the
park. The worshippers and spectators
stood about in a clicle forming two
rings, the inner one stationary, the
outer constantly changing by the com
ing and going of the cut loudly In
clined TUB SERVICES YESTERDAY.
Rev. II. A. Grant, the pastor of the
church, conducted tho set vices. These
consisted of singing of npproptlnte
h inns by the choir, a sprmon bv the
pastor, praer by "Father" Nelson,
whose grey hairs nnd Grand Aimy
badge made him one of the piominent
figures of the gathering, and, as a fin
ale, n spirited testimony meeting.
Rev. Mr. Grant's eloquence and
scholnily attainments woio a reveln
tlon to tho many who had never bi
foie heaid him preach. His subject
was "The King of Zion," the text be
ing fiom Zechariah ix- V "Rejoice
gieatl, O daughter of .Ion, shout, O
daughter of Jetusalem, behold thy
ICIng cometh unto thee: He Is Just,
and having salvation; lowly and tid
ing upon un ass, and upon a colt, the

His argument wns In ptoof of tho
fultlllment of the prophecy. Christ's
humility was held forth foi emulation
nnd nn exhortation was made to ac
cept of the salvation of the ptopliecy,
so bounteously nt hand, so free to
those who will accept It.

CHARGES ALE AROUND.
Lively Time nt n Hearing Before
Aldennan Millar.
Tho old feud between Mrs. McAn
dtew, of Tenth street, nnd Mrs. Reap
was renewed In Alderman Mllhu's of.
lieu Satutday evening when tho form
er was airalgned for breaking win
dows nt Mrs. Heap's home.
The women began their controvetsy
eight jenrs ugo and bid fair to con
tinue It Indellnllcly. It began with
tho advent of a piece of Iron which
laid been hut led with considerable
force through Mrs. Heap's window.
Mrs McAndtew was accused of It, but
vi as not nrrestcd until she had Mrs.
Reap arrested recently for making
tin cats. Then Mrs. MeAndrew was
chatged with throwing the Iron and
with threatening to tear Mrs. Heap's
heart out.
The chatges weio heaid Saturday
evening. The defendant wns dis
charged on tho first count, but was put
under $r.00 ball on tho second.
Additional tumble was threatened
during tho examination of nn nged
witness, William Gllroy, the principals
accusing each other of improper rela
tions with him.
REPAIRING ASPHALT.
Plan to Have tho City Put Its
Streets in Shape Cost
ot the Woik.
An effort Is under way, and with fair
piospects of success, to have tho sur
face of .-.if. miles of the city's asphalt
pavements relald or tepaired. The cost
will be about $00,000.
The lirst steps were taken Thursday
night, when select council adopted a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of three to con
fer, n conjunction with tho city en
gineer, cltv solicitor nnd street com
missioner, with representatives of as
phalt companies relative to a plan for
repairing the asphalt pavements, "pay
ment to he mndo later." President
Chittenden appointed Messrs. Roch,
Lansing nnd Ross on the committee.
A tecent communication fiom tho
street commissioner calling councils'
attention to the deplorable condition of
the pavement nnd to the consumed ap
propriation for repairs; the board of
tiade's lively threat of prosecution, and
tho clanger of damage claims from bl
ccllsts and other Injuied poisons, all
have combined to make councils aleit
In tho matter.
The special committee, Mr. Lansing
excepted .and the throe city ofllclnls
named met Saturday In City Engineer
Phillips' olllce. A representative of tho
Barber Asphalt Paving company was
prcent Ho indicated the wllllngnesT
of his company to undoitake tho con
tiact and to wait until during the next
fiscal enr, which begins on tho flr?t
Monday In April, for painent. It wns
his opinion that the expense would be
about $00,000. A decision was reached,
however, not to prepaie a teport until
nfter a conference with nn olllclal from
the home olllce of the Bather company.
It Is expected he will be here today or
tomorrow.
Approximate flguilng showed that an
entire! new surface would have to re
place the piesent dilapidated surface
on the gi eater portions of Laolciwanm,
Washington, Penn, Wot Lackawanna
andCapous-avenues and Linden stteet.
while much repairing would bo required
on Adams avenue and other thoiough
faics The sti etches wheie ordinal v
tepalrs will sulllce, are exceptions
rathei than the rule In man local
ities new concrete will have to be laid.
It Is possible that the committee will
mge a call for a special meeting of
select council Wedncsdu night for the
put pose of submitting a repot t and ln
ttoducing an ordinance.
Regular and special meetings of tho
two branches could within ten dnys or
two woikh, unless some unforeten ob
stacle ailses, make Html provision for
the proposed iepnlr. A sentiment In

The $11,000 nppioprlated for asphalt
