wr THE SCRANTON T1UKUNE-WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21'. 1898 HE MUST REPORT EVERY TEN DAYS MESSAGE TO THE COMMANDER OF THE THIRTEENTH. It Was Sent by Adjutant General Corbln and Is of a Very Signifi cant Nature Sergeant William H. McCulloch Appointed Sergeant Ma jor In Place of Harry R. Lathrope Who Was Discharged from the Ser vice Thirteenth Entertained Minnesota Men on Their Arrival. Bpeclnl to tlio Scrnnton Tribune. Camp Meade, jMldtllctonn, Ta. Pcpt. 20. A significant message was received today from If. C. Corbln, adjutant gen eral of the United States army, by the commanding ofllcer of the Thir teenth regiment, through the head quarters of the Second army corps. It inns as follows: The secretary of war directs that on report by telegraph on the Wth of this jirrsent month and every ten rtiiys there after, until further order, the cnlUted xtrcngth present for duty of the several companies of lour rcclincnt. The message Is musing no end of rpcculatlon among the members of the Thirteenth, especially as it it known that, up to date, no such message has been received by the Eighth regiment. "While it is conjectured that it is sim ply the purpose of the war department to get into touch with each regiment in particular, still many think that it may have another meaning. Corporal Stephen Lyman, of com pany C, was today removed from the Division hospltnl to Good Samaritan hospital, Lebanon. A telegram was received this evening by Lieutenant Colonel C. C. Mattes and Acting Adjutant David J. Dals from Colonel If. A. Courscn, who is now in Scranton, naming and appoint ing Sergeant William W. McCulloch, of company D, sergenat major of tho Thirteenth regiment instead of Harry I. Lathrope, discharged from the ser vice. Sergeant McCulloch's appointment gives general satisfaction. He is the son of Mr. William McCulloch, of Dun more, and is well known as an intelli gent employe of the Traders' Nation al bank. He Is recognized as a first class soldier. Tonight he is receiving the congratulations of all the members of his company and of the First bat talion. KINDLY TREATED. It will be some time before the members of the Fifteenth Minnesota, which regiment is now located on the old camp site of the Twelfth Penns! wtnla, forgets the hospitality of the soldiers of tho Keystone state. They nirlvod at Mlddletown early in the morning and slept In the cars till sun rise. Major Wood, of the Second bat talion, invited tho colonel, the lieuten ant colonel and tho majors of the regi ment to have breakfast with him. When they reached these giounds In the afternoon they presented a sorry spectacle. They left Fort Snelllng, Minnesota, which was temporarily gar risoned by tho volunteers In the ab sence of the regulais, late last Wed nesday evening, ond after a Journey of' tluee davs und four nights, with n ilbei.il accumulation of dust, soft coal smoke and a hunger which was almost unlimited, they pitched their tents on Pennsylvania soil for the first time and wondeied what kind of peo ple llv'd in this strange country. They had not then known that their futuie neighbors, the men of the Thir teenth Pennsylvania, had voluntaiily gone on half intions In order that the new comers might have something palatable to eat atler their long and tiring Journey. Such, however, was the case. It was suggested that the Mlnnesolans would be hungty and weary, and that a cooked meal would be most welcome to them under the eircumstances. The suggestion was timely, and the men at once freely gave more than half of their own ra tions that tho strangeis might be fed DINED THE OFFICERS. A number of the oftUers of the Thir teenth, accordingly went In a body and Invited the officers of the Minne sota regiment to dine with them, at tho home time extending an invitation to every enlisted man to bring his knife, tork, tin cun and meat pan with him. The Mlnnesolans, though utterly un piepared for such hospitality, and In no way expecting It, were veiy happy und accepted the invitation with evi dent signs of thankfulness. They all were fed, and then were supplied with water, wash basins, toap and towels, in order that they might clean up and feel better. Duilng the day they were supplied with drinking water us they had none themselves, and thope who could get no supper in their own regi ment wended their wa naturally, and as If homeward, to the Thirteenth, where they woe made comfortable. In the evening they attended the band concert in front of headquaiter. They hae now no words sufficient to extol the thoughtfulness and hospitality of their Pennsylvania neighbors, and the men of both regiments are on the filendliest terms. The late arrivals say they never received better treat ment. A comparison between the health recoras of tho Thirteenth and Fif teenth Minnesota would be Interesting. The Mlnnesolans are all strong, vigor ous looking young fellows They were encamped in their own state, in a United States fort, where, It Is pief sumed, everything was arranged In a proper, healthful manner, and wheie the weather was usually pleasant and without extremes. Still, when tho regiment came here yesterday, It had left behind over 400 men out ol a to tal of 1,300 on account of sickness. The Thirteenth, aggregating S48 men, most ly from the rlty and less rugged in appearance than the Minnesota men. encountering every possible extieme and making its own camps under the most disagreeable circumstances, nover, at nny movement, left behind it over 100 of Its members, ami nt pres ent, counting tho sick and the con valescents, who will be here in a 3hort time, not ever 125 aie absent. Theso Jlgiires are Interesting, and show that men used to city life are, by no ineanr, rendered incapable of enduring tho hardships of camp. PLENTY.OF WATER. Whatever complaints may hae ex isted heretofore as to the supply of Suter, they ure at onco und forever to bo Mt at rest. A largo force of men are at work today. in laying a four Inch pipe lino to tho camps of the Thirteenth regiment, nt tho head of every company street, and near tho kitchens, a hydrant will bo placed from which they men can get more water than they will ever need. Near Com pany B's street the pipe lino will branch oft nt right angles und will carry water to the Fifteenth Minne sota. Headquarters Second Army Corps, Cutiip George G. Meade, Pa., Sept. 17, 1KH. General Order No. 17. Tho attention or tho commanding general has been at tracted to tho discrepancies on the part of tho reports of tho lino and the medical officers In the preparation of certificates of disability, and tho lack of supervision exercised by tho Intervening authorities.

The evident purpose of tho ordT is to ascertain with deflnlteness nnd to haxo it stated in writing authoritative ly if a man' s physical disability Is, or Is not, contracted In the time of his soldierly duty, so as to fix future lia bility on tho government in case a pension should bo applied for. Private John Vonskl, ot Company II, has had u rather difficult opera tion successfully performed on his knee. He had been rendered Incapable ot attending to duty, or. In fact, of walking aiound. Ho complained of a soreness In the region of the right kneo Joint, nnd finally the attention of Doctor lllunchard was called to It. He pionounced It nn abeess, and per formed an operation on It Immediate ly. Yesterdiy the core was lemoved without nny great trouble, and now Private Vonskl feels much better. CAMP GOSSIP.

Hourke. NO HURRY TO BREAK CAMP. Major General Graham Thinks the Second Army Corps Will Remain at Mlddletown Until Its Services Are Needed. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa., Sept. 20. Major General Giaham thinks the war depaitment will not be In a huiry to break up the Second Aimy corps. His tioops are accustomed to tho colder weather of the north nnd they would piobably withstand the tlgors of the climate at Camp Meade better than America's Greatest Medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla, Which absolutely Cures every form of Impure blood, from The pimple on your Face to the great Scrofula sore which Drains your system. Thousands of people Testify that Hood's Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Dyspepsia, Malaria, Catarrh, Rheumatism And That Tired Feeling. Remember this And get Hood's And only Hood's. the enervating atmosphere ot tho south, Tho only southern regiments In tho corps nro tho Second West Virginia, First Maryland and Second Tennessee, nil the others being from the north. General Graham says the southern camps have not been as healthful as those In the north and favors tho re tention of the troops at Camp Meada until It becomes ncccssnry to send them to the West Indies nnd Philippines. Clarence E. Bruyton, sergennt mujor of tho Third New York regiment, died today of spinal meningitis nt Harris burg. Dr. II. S. Hotcllng, of Syracuse, N. Y., who attended Biayton, says his death was caused by neglect. Tho young soldier was taken sick two weeks ago and was sent to the division hos pital. The surgeons there said he was suffering from quinine poisoning and that there was nothing else wrong with him. Ho was removed to tho Harris burg hospltul and a few days later taken to the Bolton house. The mlll taty hospital authorities did not notify ills parents until several days after hn was taken sick nnd they will demand an Investigation. Lieutenant E. J. Renlson, quarter master of the Fourth Missouri, was re moved to the Harrisburg hospital to day with u slow fever. Trlvate Ed gar A. Ellctt,, Company C, Fourth Mis souri, died today of typhoid fever and his remains will be shipped to St. Jo seph. The Second West Virginia started this morning on a march to Gettysburg to attend the dedication, Thursday week, of n regimental monument.

Tho Fourth New Jersey, w hich is being re organized nt Sea Girt, Is expected at Camp Meade Satuiday. The married men In the Foutth are being discharg ed and their places being filled by men from the First which has orders to muster out. Chief Quartermaster Howard says not a single soldier entitled to trans portation has ever hnd to leave Camp Meade w lthout It. He claims the story emanating from New York that sever al men of the Eighth Massachusetts weie stranded In that city because thjy were sent away without transpor tation could not be true, as this regi ment has never been nt Camp Meade. The soldiers who are being discharged are paid before leaving and are thus saved the expense of a trip to AVash Ington. Lieutenant Colonel F'tevon son, of tho First Delaware, has re called his resignation. Lieutenant Ty ree R. Rlvers.Thlrd United States cav alry, an aide on the staff of General Young, has been recommended for pro motion to assistant quartermaster for gallantry at Santiago. The trial of Major Charles R. Parke, of Scranton, charged with refusing to give descriptive lists of patients ad mitted to the Secnd division hospital while he was suigeon In charge, has been indefinitely postponed. PROSECUTOR IN JAIL. Settled with Assailants and Refused ,to Prosecute. The police allege that Arthur Greg ory, a young man who was held up and robbed on the West Side about two weeks ago, was given $60 not to prosecute the two men he accused of the ci line. Gregory and his two assailants, Michael Walsh and William Durkln, were nil arraigned before Alderman Millar yesterday. Gregory was com mitted to Jail, In default of ball, In order to hold him as prosecutor. For Dm kin $500 ball was furnished. In default of bail Walsh went to Jail to await trial with Durkln. Gregory was with Walsh and Dur kln on the night of the robbery, Sept. S. The three started for home togeth er, and while en route Gregory was knocked down by his two companions and relieved of $18. Ho made com plaint to the police and had warrants issued for the arrest of his assailants. Later, the police say, Gregory accept ed $C0 from Walsh nnd Devlne and agreed not to prosecute them. At nil events they kept away from the police nnd were not rounded up until Mon day night. i'he tluee were locked In the West Side station house and brought to Al derman Millar's office for a hearing yesterday morning Chief of Police Gur rell was present at the hearing. Walsh nnd Devlne were quickly disposed of. Gregory could give no good excuse ns to why he wanted to settle the case. He was held until late In the aftei iinon, and, not having secured ball, was committed to Jail. CONCERT IN MALTA TEMPLE. Reeve Jones and Other Weil-Known Musiclnns Participated. Anything more attractive and less "hall-like" In Its apeparance than was Malta Temple, In the Guernsey build ing, last evening can sciucely be Im agined. The caipeted room, the tropi cal plants, pretty draperies and wall adornments afforded a pleasing setting for the informal grouping of the audi ence at the concert given by Anthra cite commanderj, No. 211, Ancient nnd Illustrious Order, Knights of Malta, under the direction of Mr. Reeve Jones. Well-known musicians gave the beau tiful programme. The Schubert quartette, J. T. Wat kins, Thomas Stevens, J. W. Jones and Thomas Beynon. sang with enect hel dom equalled on a Scranton stage a number of glees nnd songs, beginning with "Kathleen Mavourneen" and end ing with "Dixie," which selection in particular elicited great enthusiasm.

Miss Julia Allen's vio lin solos werp given as only a true ar tist is capable ot rendering the difficult numbers, which, as Is her custom, In cluded one by her great master, Mustn Miss Lena Relchart. a small maiden, who exhibits temarkable execution, played several piano solos In beautiful taste, Messrs. Jones and Stevens sung a duet, Mr. Wntklns gave a fine bari tone solo and Mr. Beynon sang most satisfactorily "For All Eternity." The concert was enjoyable In every respect. MUSICIAN STAPLES FUNERAL.

Street Commissioner Thinks Mr. Palne's Scheme Is All xvight. But He Is Waiting for Nec essary Funds. Street Commisloner O'Boyle yester day received from the secretary of the board of trade notice of the action taken by the board Monday evening In reference to paement repalis. Mr. O'Boyle has for some time been urging councils to furnish him funds for that put pose. In the absence of a pioper amount of money, or. If neither of the two ordinances recently Introduced pass In time to begin woik before fros ty weather, Mr. O'Boyle will endeaor to secure a small special appropria tion for tempoi ary repairs. The street commissioner says that Mr. I'alne's suggestion that holes In the pavement be filled with concrete Is a good one. Holes were to filled ten weslcs ago on Linden street and the concrete does not show the effects of wear. Mr. O'Boyle thinks that for $1,000 he could put concrete In the worst holes on some of the business streets and do the work so that It would last a year. On Linden slieet slow-setting cement was used, but a quick-setting cement would be necessary on Lacka wanna nnd other busy thoroughfares jvhere traffic should not bo interrupted for more than a few houts. He pro poses making the experiment in a few holes on Lackawanna avenue between Penn and Wyoming. The crushed stone recently packed In the holes on that thoroughfare docs not remain In place. A good job of macadamizing has Just been furnished under Mr. O'Boyle's direction on Phelps street between Ca pouse and Wyoming avenues. Many wagon loads of broken hard stone were dumped Into the street, rounded at the center, rolled tine and compact with a heavy steam road roller and then thinly covered with dirt. The re sult Is a firm, even roadvvav, that is a relief from the foimer muddy condition of the street. HAY ENLIGHTEN THE COUH As to Why He Would Not Let a Lawyer Go Ball.
