TO REMAIN IN
THE SERVICE
SIGNIFICANT MESSAGE ABOUT
TEE THIRTEENTH.
Jleglmont Has Lost Another Man.
Ho Was Fred A. Gay, of Company
A, Who Died in the Hospital at
Lancaster Lieutenant H. B. Cox
Has Been Laid Low by Typhoid
Fever Condition of the Sick of the
Regiment Many Men Have Taken
French Leave Camp Gossip.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Fa., Sept.
12. NotwltiiBtnndlng nil that has been
nftld and written Inside and outside of
camp concerning the disposition to he
made of the Thirteenth, nothing of nn
ofllclal nature has transpired till to
day to Indicate what will be done with
the regiment. Recently a requisition
for some new instruments for tho band
was sent In. This has been returned
In the following manner: "Colonel duy
Howard, chief commissary of the
corps; requisition approved as this reg
iment (meaning the Thirteenth) Is to
remain In service." Tho Fifth Mas
tmchussctts arrived in camp today.
The mortality rate is beginning to
grow gradually and dlsense, sickness
and death aro thinning tho ranks of
the Thirteenth. A few days ago Pri
vate Fred J. Clay, of A Company, was
removed to the General hospital, nt
Lancaster, where he was treated for
typhoid fever. For nearly a week he
lingered between life and death with
very little hope of his recovery, and
finally passed away Saturday. The
remains have been sent to his home
at Carverton, Wyoming county.
This Is the eighth death since the
regiment left home, and all here hope
that It will be the last. Private Gay
was employed for some time as a driv
er for Lindner's bakery, of Penn ave
nue, and was well acquainted In Scran
ton. LIEUTENANT COX IS ILL.
There Is no truth In the rumor of
the death of Sergeant Frutchey and
Trlvate Sohns, of B, both of whom are
in the Medtco-Chlrurglcal hospital,
Philadelphia. Word has been received
In camp concerning them, and from
all accounts they have passed the
danger line.
Lieutenant II. 15. Cox, who was sick
In quarters for a few days and made
such nn heroic struggle against the
advancing fever, has had to succumb
at last. Ho was removed from here
by ambulance Friday night, and left
In the City hospital, Harrlsburg. Major
Surgeon Keller expected that the pa
tient might bo able to go home to
Scranton next morning, but ho Is still
there. The Illness of Lieutenant Cox
causes sincere regret throughout the
regiment.- Ho has been working hard
since we arrived here, and was al
ways looking out for the boys. It Is
their only wish now that he may soon
recover and return to his post stronger
and sounder In health. His place as
quartermaster Is now filled by Lieu
tenant Johnson, of A.
Captain J. W. Kambeek, of B, after
nn Illness lasting nearly two weeks,
left for Harrlsburg Sunday afternoon
In chnrge of Mnjor Keller. From there
he will immediately leave for Scran
ton. whore he expects to regain health
mid strength In a short time.
Private Charles Shoemaker, of Com
pany C w'n was discharged from
First division hospital No. 3 yesterday
nnd left for home. Is suffering from
what seems to be a serious affection
of the left eye. At the last diagnosis
the doctors practically agreed that It
Is an incipient cataract and advised
him at once to go home for treatment.
He was ordered to place himself under
medical can; without delay either In
Scranton nr elsewhere, and, if neces
ry, to have an operation pel formed.
Whoever attends his tase must make
returns twice a week, ns to his condi
tions to the medical staff of the dlvl
Klon hospital here. If the eye does not
wliow any decided Improvement under
treatment the doctors here informed
him that they would have to advise his
discharge from the horvice.
SICK ARE DOING WELL.
The members of the Thltteeiilh who
are now in the different hospitals, here
in camp, in Harriaburg, in Philadel
phia, in Lancaster, In Fort Myer and
at Dunn Luring are doing well. Charles
Van Riper, of the hospital corps, was
tin- last one to leave division hospital
No. 1 at Dunn Lorlog, Va and on
his at rival hete stated that the day
he left there to report at the hospital
here, there were only twenty-eight
patlentb In division hospital No. 1, and
of these only two belonged to the
Tliiiteenth. Both were recovering rap
Idly, and. If not home by this time,
ato removed to some hospital In the
large cities, as Colonel Frank Swee
ney, Inspector general for the care of
tno sick soldiers of Pennsylvania, was
there making arrangements for their
removal. Forty-five members of that
hospital corps had left for Foit Mon
roe, and those In charge were prepar
ing to blot out of existence forever
that monument of suffering.
The sick members of the Thirteenth
who are here need not cause any wor
ry to those ut home. They are In no
danger, and those whose cases are a
little more serious are taken to Har
rlsburg or Lancaster. No chances are
being taken by the medical staff. To a
few of the boys who ure in the tegl
mental hos- tal, Colonel Courseu last
night, In . .c course of a short conver
bation, advised them to not wait till
we are mustered out to go home, but
that they should now go on short fur
loughs. This, he said, Is all the moie
advisable because, while the regiment
may not be sent to Cuba fpr garrison
duty, It would certainly be in service
for a few months yet. For this rea
son, all thoe who are well enough to
po home alone, will receive furloughs
nnd be allowed to fully recuperate at
home.
MANY ARK ABSENT.
Not even excepting those commands
which are to be furloughed and mus
tered out in the near future, there Is
hardly a regiment hero which has not
lost several men during the past week.
These are all cases of absence without
leave, and It In unfortunate that, In
this respect tho Thirteenth has suf
fered the most heavy losses. At dres.i
parado last night thirty-four men were
reported as "absent without leave"
from the First battalion, nnd Major
Walter Wood, of tho Second battalion,
putted to your correspondent that
nbout fifty men of his command have
taken "French leave." It Is supposed
that most of those eighty-four absen
tees nre gone home, though it Is known
that r.omo few of them are in Hrtr
nsbtirg. The ciittlnsr.off of regular furloughs,
lhfi proximity to home, and the draw
ing of their monthly pay at a recent
date, have nil resulted in this condi
tion of affairs which is regretted ns
much by tho men who remain as by
the oflcer3.
As a result of the condr.ct of some
of the men the soldiers have lost many
privileges, not only on account of tho
bad example, which might be Imitated
by others, but because, on account of
tho largo details for guards and the
general routine of camp work, all who
are now hero nre needed. This unfor
tunate condition is regretted by the
boys of the regiment who refuse to so
far forget themselves ns to leave camp
under such circumstances.
Chaplain Htahl, who Is so deserved
ly popular with the boys, has recently
been tiylng to get them to attend div
ine services In the Young Men's Chris
tian association tent on Sunday morn
ings. Saturday night he Issued a short
note, In his own handwriting, to the
members of each company. It was
read nt roll call and was as follows:
My Dear ISovs: "I desire to make a
porxomtl appeal to every member of your
company to help mo in my work among
you by promptly falling Into line on Sun
day mornings upon tho sounding cf
"church call" and going to the Young
Men's Christian association tent near by
for our short weekly services.
Faithfully your chaplnln,
N. F. Stahl.
SERVICES WELL ATTENDED.
In consequence of this Invitation ser
vices were well attended this morning,
though many of the boys, taking ad
vantage of this day of jest, of the
fresh, invigorating breezes, and the
facility of obtaining passes which al
ways obtains in camp on the Sabbath,
went outside tho lines.
Tho teamsters here have "struck."
and have left the government in a
predicament. For some days the trouble
had been brewing, und every moment
It became nore and more apparent that
they could not be held In check very
long. The teamsters claimed that they
were receiving leBS pay here for the
same amount of work than was paid
to the teamsters who were employed
at Camp Alger, Va., and threatened
that If their request for nn advance In
wages was not acceded to they would
quit. They did quit, and Saturday
morning only twelve out of nearly one
hundred and fifty men returned to
duty. As a result, the wagoners from
each company had to take charge, and
are trying to do their best with the
most refractory combination known in
the history of tho world a double team
of government mules bred In Kentucky.
If the weather keeps on at Its present
pace, the people of Scranton and of
tho other cities of Pennsylvania will
have to remember their boys In camp
with blankets, woolen mittens, and fur
caps instead of with Ice. No heavy
underclothing or extra blankets have
been ordered, though they arp certain
ly needed. As stated In a former let
ter, all have been notified that they
shall at once put in a requisition for
threa months' clothing, but they nre
not told what kind of clothing they
should order heavy or light. If the
weather continues to grow colder at
the rate at which the thermometer has
been dropping during the past week,
especially from 6 o'clock In the even
ing till seven In the morning, and the
men are not furnished with heavier
clothing, the regiments now here will
be filling the hospitals In a very short
time.
CLOTHING NOT WARM.
Tho clothing which they now hav
would sufilcc for a warmer climate, but
are already Insufficient for comfort
here. The men are already beginning
to suffer; they go to bed and rise In
the morning with teeth playing a spir
ited tattoo In consequence of the cold,
and frequently have to get up long bo
fore reveille Is sounded to warm them
selves at the kitchen fires. They wish
that they had been located here In
June, July and August, and that they
were now In Virginia, which would now
be much mere comfortable than when
they were there. Heavy fogs which
rise from the Susquehanna river and
the Sweet Arrow creek, and overspread
even these uplands, add to the sharp
effect of the cold and keep the sun from
brightening up the camp till seven and
half-past fceven o'clock in the morning.
It must not be supposed from this
that the boys do not appreciate the
kindness, thoughtfulness and the gen
erosity of those at home who remem
ber them with donations of ice. Quite
the contrary. It shows how near and
dear they actually are to those at home.
Besides this consideration, the days are
usually quite warm, and every pound
of ice received Is put to good use, either
for the members of the different com
panies, or In the hospital. If the peo
ple of Scrnnton could see with What
evidences of thankfulness their good
ness nnd bounty are received, they
would feel that their efforts to help the
buys are not without some recompense.
The names of Colonel Ripple, Mr.
George Hallstead, and of the people of
Scranton In general ore not mentioned
here without respect and without praise
and they are mentioned often.
I saw several memheis of the Elgh-
OLAD TO LEAVE,
teenth and of the Twelfth regiments
yesterday afternoon, and they express
ed not only sympathy for tho Eighth
and the Tliiiteenth, but their own
great delight over the prospect of go
ing homo at last. After the departure
of the Twelfth, the Third brigade will
have to be reconstructed, and the Fiist
Maryland Is selected as the regiment
to JU1 up the gap. The Mnrylanders,
by no means, object to this idea,
and have already begun to express
their pleasure nt the thnupht of hnv
Ing the Eighth und the Thirteenth ns
neighbors, and nre dally visitors to
the camps of these two regiments. The
Tit teenth Is the last of tho Pennsyl
vania troops to anlve here; other reg
iments are expected soon.
The Third battalion of the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania, stationed here for some
time, has received orders to break
camp and to be in New York city on
Wednesday, in order to sail for Poito
Rico, wheie It will join the other two
battalions, which under command of
Colonel Willis J. Hulings, of Oil City,
Pa., took pait In the Porto Rlcnn cam
paign under General Brooke. Lieuten
ant Colonel Rlckart Is in charge of the
Third battalion. This regiment will
do garrison duty In the new posses
sions of the United States. They will
start tomorrow night or early Tuesday
morning.
The Eighth Pennsylvania has nt last
been paid. There are several absen
tees. Edward J. Kelly, of the hospital
corps, has received from some thought
ful friend at home n very pretty
' housewife," nnd is now seen dally
plying the needle.

COURT BEGINS ITS
FALL SESSIONS
(Concluded from Pago S.
strike off judgment was made absotuto
by agreement.
Hearings on appeals from the city
assessment were fixed to coma up when
the equity list has been disposed of.
The grand Jury was sent out at 10
o'clock with particular Instructions to
mako but one bill of each case no mat
ter how many defendants may appear
in it. Arthur Hitchcock was designat
ed to net us foreman.
Nothing of a startling nature devel
oped from the constable's returns. Tho
Scott road in Blakcly, 'Church street
and Eighth avenue In Carbondale, the
Wild Cat road in Archbald and vari
ous roads In Covington were reported
to be In bad condition. The consta
bles of these several bailiwicks were
directed to consult with tho district
attorney ns to the advisability of In
dicting the municipal authorities for
neglect.
Constable Woelkers, of tho Eleventh
ward, knew to his own satisfaction
that there was Illicit liquor selling in
his own ward, but he couldn't get any
evidence on which to base a prosecu
tion. Constable Buischell, of the Fifteenth
ward, reported having had two alleged
speuk-easy keepers held for court.
Constable Chase, of tho Nineteenth,
was on the scent of two holos-ln-the-wall
In his predict, but before he
could bag them they closed up shop
and quit his territory. Constable Bar
ron complained that he had one John
Koslasky Indicted for selling without a
license, but that he had never been
brought In. Judge Archbald told Sher
iff Pryor to send uftcr him. Consta
ble Moran. of the Twelfth, reported
Mary Hayes, George Ftable, Mrs. Pat
rick Finnan. W. J. Nealon and Peter
J. Merrick for selling without license.
EQUITY CASES.
Appended is tho list of cases set
down for hearing in equity court. They
will very likely occupy tho entire week:
West Rldgo Coal company ugnlnst C.
S. Von Storch.
Ellsha A. Coray against John S. Jen
kins. Thomas Jennings nnd Mary Jennings
ugulnst James F. McAndruw and Mary
McAndrew.
John Carney against Mlclriel Carney.
Acme Coal company ngaliibt Jacob W.
Stroud. . ,
George W. Finn ngalnst P. 1. Carter
and others.
Johanna Ferdlnando against tho city
of Scranton and otheu-.
City of Scranton ugalnst Johanna Fer
dlnando. Fred Wcyandt against William Wey
andt and others.
Immediately after tho noon adjourn
ment Judge Archbald took tho hear
ing of the first case on the equity
list, that of the West Ridge Coal com
pany against C. S. Von Storch. In
18D3 tho company leased from Von
Storch a strip of land In the Second
ward, 400 yards wide and three miles
long, agreeing to mine a minimum of
33,000 tons of coal a year. They failed
to reach the prescribed output, and
alleging that a fault had been en
countered In the coal refused to pay
for any more than the actual amount
of conl mined, about two-fifths of the
minimum.
Von Storch took ndvantage of a
clause of the lease to compel payment
of the minimum by having the colliery
Improvements and lease forfeited for
non-compllanco with the contract. To
protect themselves against forfeiture
tho company brought this suit.
IS NOT POSSIBLE.
They allego that a fault In the coal
makes It a physical Impossibility to
mine 33,000 tons a year; that they
worked the mine to Its fullest capac
ity; that they tendered every month
loyalties for tho actual amount of coal
mined, and that they stund ready to
pay the money Into court or to tho
defendant at any time.
The defendant contends that the com
pany has not worked the mine with
the diligence and energy that It might,
and that It Is unfairly taking advant
age of the clause releasing it from
mining tho minimum output "In case
of a fault being found In the coal or
strike of employes."
Hand & Hand, Welles & Torrey and
C. E, Burr represent the company. Jes
sup & Jcssup nnd T. C. Umstead, of
Wllkes-Barre, are the defendant's at
torneys. The claim under the minimum clause
amounts to $13,000. The company has
tendered royalties amounting to $6,000.
Judge Archbald hunded down a
lengthy opinion In the matter of the
estute of p. c. Callahan, deceased, set
ting aside the distribution made by the
auditor appointed to pass upon the ac
counts of the executor, John J. Fahey,
and decreeing that the estate must be
held Jointly for the widow and chil
dren. MONY
