8 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 189$ THEY CALLED ON COLONEL COURSEN POMMA.NDEB OF THIRTEENTH HAD NOTED VISITOItS. Ho Believes the Regiment Will Be Retained in the Sorvice for Sovoral Months nt Least Arrival of the Paymaster Caused Much Satisfac tionLumber to Be Used in Put ting Floors in Tents Has Been Issued Members of Regiment Grateful for Ice. Epeclal to tlie Scranton Tribune. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa., Sept. 8. Major General William Graham, corps commander, and Governor Hast ings, of Pennsylvania, were hero this nfternoon and called on Colonel Cour cen. The visit had no special signifi cance as to the mustering out or the retention of the Thirteenth In service. Tho Twelfth Pennsylvania will leave here the early part of next week on a thirty-day furlough and will then be mustered out. The men are Jubilant. Colonel Courscn has arranged It with Mrlgadler General Hoffman, of the Third brigade, nnd General Graham, no that furloughs will be Issued at once to members of the Thirteenth, those who have not yet been home to get the preference. Colonel Coursen thinks we will be retained in tho service for nt last a few months. A liberal supply of lumber has been Issued and every tent Is now floored. There Is little ex ltement In tho Thirteenth after pay, but the officers of the Klghth fear that tho men will make a stampede for home. Tho guards are stiengthened. "With the moderation of the tempera ture of this plnce, which began to fall lower nnd lower jesterday and still continues, conditions In camp are be coming favorable to the enjoyment and the health of the men. Trom an aver uge of about 110 degrees Tuesday the thermometer has dropped till It regis tered not more than 70 or 73 degrees jesterday. This Is a change which covers a number of Inconveniences and makes the men quite contented. PAYMASTERS STRIKE CAMP. The paymasters, who struck camp unexpectedly yesterday morning, have brought a world of consolation with them. Six of them left corps headquar ters and headed In oery direction, scattering the government's bounty nnd lmmeasuiablo happiness far and wide. The ai rival of the paj master is always n "red-letter" day to the boys In camp, and few times In the history of soldier ing has this been more tiue than In the present Instance. The paj master ai ilved in the camp of the Thliteenth just at noon, and the companies were lined up to receive their stipend. Hery one who can get a pass to Hariisbuig or to Mlddletown, or find time to walk to Hummelstown, promises himself a meal not patterned after the regula- tlln collation ghen by your Untie Samuel. It Is the fixed putpne of the entire medical staff of this camp to persist ently use every knowir method for the promotion of the general health and to stay the ravages of disease which hae been apparently carried from other places. The regular camp hospitals are well supplemented In the work of caring for the sick b tho Red Cross hospital and tho hospitals of Harrlsburg, Lan caster and Philadelphia. Major Charles C. Wiley, of the Eigh teenth Pennslanla, has been detail ed for duty on the medical staff with Instructions to report at First division hospital (No. 2) where ho will begin his duties at once ASK SOLDIERS TO CONTRIBUTE. The National Monument committee, consisting of such men as General Nelson A. Miles, Urlgadler General Pied D. Grant. William G. Whitney, secretary of tho nay under President Cleveland, Cardinal Gibbons, Chaun cey Depew, George J. Gould, Rlshop John F. Hurst, of the Methodist Epis copal church, Archbishop Couigan, Rear Admiral Selfrldge, e-Vlce Pres ident Morton, Oscar Struas and sever al others well knowir throughout tho country and which has been organized for the erection of u memorial to the dead heroes of the Cuban battlefields, nnd the mart rs of the Maine, has been communicating with the first ser geant of all companies throughout the camp by the means of a iPtter, which Is now going to rounds, being read to every company. It requests the volun teers to assist In erecting such a mon ument. VOLUNTEERS TOR CUBA. The first call In this camp for volun teer nut fees for Cuba has not been heard unanswered. Fort-llvo men of the Sixth Pennsylvania hove offered their services and the following mem bers of that regiment have been trans ferred Into the corps of the general hospital: Privates George and Frank lin Royer, Charles Boone anu Henry Brandt, of Ai Privates James Plummer and Howard Rush, of C; Corporal J.

For tho last few days lumber has been Issued to tho different regiments for the purpose of putting floors In the tents, those near corps headquarters being the first to receive It. The Twelfth and Eighth Pennsylvania have nlready received their share and to day the boys of tho Thirteenth are carpenters rather than soldiers. Lieu tenant Cox began to Issue the lumber early so that boys would have wood as soon as possible. The floors are quite an Improvement and make the tents home like nnd comfortable, Captain Robllng, of C, yesterday de tailed Corporal Hanford Swlnglo and Private Harry Hale to go to Scran ton to represent the company nt the funeral services of Private Alvin L. Evans, who died yesterday in the First division hospital at Dunn Lorlng, Vir ginia. They will first go to Washing ton, thenco to Camp Alger and from there they will accompany the remains home to Scranton. Roth have received a seven day furlough.

Captain Robllng, assisted by Lieu tenants Burkhouse and Murphy, cieat ed an interesting diversion for the members of Company C Tuesday night. Tho captain leceived a small consign ment of first-class French briar pipes and was at a lops how to make them go around, and at the same time do Jus tice to all. He got around the difficul ty by taking as many slips of paper as there nro man now In the company, und by writing on sixteen of the slips the word ' Pipe" and on tho others "No" so ho said; however, while those who were tho fortunate ones, had no reason to con. plain, the disap pointment of those who fulled to draw the lucky slip of paper was still fur ther Increased In reading such expres sions as these "I wouldn't do it," "throw nro Into the sink," "pipe nit," "I didn't want a pipe anyway," "Aber nit," "who s.ald I wanted a pipe?" "Kick me," "to mlt Spain!" "I'm nn easy mark," "go soak your head," "April fool," "did you ever get left?" and so on. As the contents of each paper were being read aloud there was no end of enjoyment especially on the part of the successful ones. Those who drew "pipes" were: Corporal Dunkerley, Privates Edwards, Lynn, Llewellyn, Phillips, McHale, Iloffmels ter, Dlppre, Haggerty, Dnehler, Beck man, Kllratn, Richards, Michaels, Mof fat and Freeman CAMP GOSSIP.

Colonel Cor j ell received nn order this evening for the muster out of the Eigh teenth Pennslvania regiment. The regiment will bo moved to the old camp and from the grounds of the Tenth Ohio and work will begin at once on the mustering rolls.

They also held that tho residuary estate became personal property by reason of the directions that It should be sold at the end of twenty years and con sequently the leciuest was governed by the laws of Pennsjlvanla, under the rule that the laws of the domicile of the test.ttor govern bequests of personality. They also argue to show that the residuary clause should only be read In a common sense way to ar rive at Its proper and reasonable In terpretation and that there Is nothing vague or uncertuln about any of the provisions In speaking of "the poor" Major Conrad remarked we are all poor down there since the war." OMISSIONS OF SCHEDULE A. The omissions of "schedule A" were put forward by tho plaintiffs as an other evidence of the uncertainty of the residuary bequest, affecting as they do the extent elf the residuary estate. These omissions, It was argued, af fect with uncertainty the greater part of the will and there Is a bare possibil ity that If tho n siduary clause Is In validated many other Items will be af fected An Interesting local story developed In the presentation of the depositions tending to rhow that Hnndley intended to fill In the famous "Schedule A " It was to tho effect that St Leo's Total Abstinence society of the West Side was deprived of a handsome hall and library through seme "hay market" actions on the part of cettalrr of Its members. The judge had set aside an amount sufficient to build for the society "the handsomest hall and library in this re gion," as he himself expressed It to his body servant, William Woelkors, and on another occasion to John T. Rich ards. A few days before his death ho told Mr Richards that he had provided In his will for a hall for the St. Leo's, but the men whom he had named as trustees wrote seunllous letters about hint and he had revoked the bequest. On later ronpfderatlon he concluded that tt would be unjust to deprive the soelety of the intended bequest bo cause of tho actions of trustees he had chosen for them nnd he told Mr. Rich ards that he would reinstate the be quest to the society. He asked Mr. Richards to suggest three good men to act as trustees und Mr. Richards did. They were all acceptable to Judge Handley and making a note of their names said he would at once reinsert an Item providing for the building for the St. Leo's. He died without carry ing out his Intention. EACH ITEM SEPARATE. Each item of the Handley will was written on a separate sheet of paper and the whole was tied together with a loop of ribbon Inserted through eye holes ltr the top of the bheets. The sheets and Items were unnumbered and any one of them could be- removed without any evidence of Its removal remaining. This Indicates how It was possible for the Item to have been stricken from tho will by the Judge without there be ing any evidence of it remaining. It mty bo possible that many other items suffered a similar fate at one time or another. OLYPHANT. Dr. F. L. Van Sickle Is spending a few days In New York city. Mr.. Ella Stevenson, ot Cntbondale, Is visiting Mrs. Jennie Voyle, of Lack awanna street. Miss Harriet L.
