Lieutenant "William Johnson, of A, acting regimental quartermaster during the absence of Lieutenant II. U. Cox, was suddenly stricken down with fever this afternoon, and was at once removed by ambulance, under supervision of Major Keller, to the City hospital, Harrlsburg, for treat ment. Up till late last night Lieuten ant Johnson was able to attend to his duties and made no complaints, even of not feeling Veil. The news of his sudden Illness caused much surprise and regret. Captain J. W. Kambeck, of V, and Quartermaster II. U. Cox were heard lrcm this afternoon. Both are yet In the Harrlsburg City hospital, nnd their sickness still continues quite serious. This afternoon fifty-four patients were rembved from First Division hos pital, nnd were taken to Philadelphia, Harrlsburg and Heading. Among those who were removed was Uugler Emmet McDermott, who was taken to tho Reading City hospital. Adjutant Wal ter E. Gunster Is now acting quarter master of the regiment. It takes somewhat of an effort to keep warm here today. The clouds nre heavy and lowering, and the sun has had no chance to show his face. A chill, easterly breeze keeps the temp erature quite low, and the general ef fect nnd nppearance remind one strong ly of a day far ndvanced In autumn. Usually the mornings are more than cool. Many of the boys nre suffering from colds In the head, and slight at tacks of coughing nre gradually de veloping In many Instances. No se rious results, however, arc threatened in these cases, and In other respects the health of tho regiment l promis ing. For thr first time In a lo.ig while the regimental hospital Is caring for only one patient. Private Henry Stan ton, of a, who has been sick with fever for dome time, was brought to Division hospital last night for treat ment. As et his case has developed no serious features. TO HECUUIT NTItSES. An effort Is now being made to re cruit a ciioi. corps of efficient nurse.'" for distribution among the different hospitals. The purpose of this, ltu necessity and the manner In which It is to be done are fully stutot". In the following order, from General Gra ham: Ilcudqarters Second Army Corps, Camp KiiKtell A. Alger, Va., June 11, lsvs. General orders No. 1'7. The nttci.tlon of Toclmental, brigade nnd division commanders Is called to the provisions ot general orders No. W. cur lent series, from war department with rcfereneo to the reorganization ot hospital corps. The necessity for perltrting and completing the organizations tor this corps Is of the greatest importance In or der to properly provide for the sick and wonded. It Is desired that the surgeons select, from those applying for transfer, the best men, not to exceed at present two men per company and that no objections be raised, to the transfer except for valid reasons which must be slated In the en dorsements on transfer papers. Regi mental commanders nro reminded that theso men will serve In the hospitals ot their respective divisions and that the welfare of tho sick and wounded or their leglments depend much upon the quality of assistance given, ahd that, therefore, no shirkers or Inferior men should be transferred to this important duty. The zealous co-operation of nil con cerned is nntldently expected. By command of Major General Graham. PROMOTIONS IN H AND l. Owing to recent changes In com panies It und D several promotions have been made and were announced last night at roll call. In B Wagoner Frank Malott and Private Lewis M. Reese were promoted to corporalshlps, und are receiving the congratulations of their friends in tho regiment. In D two changes were necessitated by the promotion of fe'ergpant William McCulloch to the position of sergeant major. The place made vacant by his removal Is now filled by Sergeant Lona B. Day, and Company Clerk William P. Jennings was raised to the rank of corporal, instead of Lona U. Day, ele vated to a sergeantcy. The fortunate ones were the recipients of the best Wishes of t-- oys. There is . iurnlng question which is arouslnf- oh Interest and unfa vorable comment here. That Is the candle question. It Is now dark at 7.30 o'clock In the evening, and from then till taps, at 9.30, time drogs along very slowly and heavily. There are only a few methods of spending those spare moments going to the Young Men's Christian association tent to write 6r to' hear some religious In structions, listening to the band con certs, or walking aimlessly up and down the dusty roads and fields, but in a short time even theso time-killing methods cannot bo resorted to, as the evenings will be cold. Tho boys would prefer to sit in their tents, read, write, or 'iHduIge1 in some amusements, but this Is impossible, however, ns each man gets only two Inches of the cheapest, fastest burning kind of sperm candle, and this Is supposed to last him five nights of two hours each. In other words, he gets a can dle, which actually burns out In three hours, that is supposed to last him for ten hours. MATTER OF DISCHARGE. Owing to the fact that several at tempts have been made In many un authorized ways by members of the volunteer regiments to secure their discharges from the Bervlce, Major General Graham had an order pub lished and read last night stating the military requirements in such cases. Any ono who desires may make appli cation to the war department for his discharge from the service of the Unit ed States, but this must, hereafter, be done through the company, regiment al, brigade division, and corps com manders of such applicant. It Is un derstood that several members of the Thirteenth are now seeking their dis charges. General Orders, No. S9, Just pub lished, instruct all regimental com manders that the orders, issued some Jlme ago and forbidding further en listment of volunteers, do "not refer to cooks. It is suggested as advisable that all those regiments which are designated for a term of service at once recruit a full force of competent cooks. The Fifteenth Minnesota has moved again, and now tho Thirteenth has a large extent of territory for Itself. CAMP OSSIP. Private Richard Thomas, of A, or derly at brigade headquarters, went home last night on a seven-day fur lough. In his stead Private William Meyers, of tho same company, is act ing ns orderly. Regimental Clerk William Dcckor, who Is home on furlough, yesterday ap plied for an extension owing to the Illness of his mother. Tho extension has been granted for.seven days. Artificer Frank Chamberlain Is as sisting Quartermaster Sergeant Pas challs, of C Company, as the latter Is kept quite busy attending to his duties ns brigade commissary sergeant. Between the officers quarters and the mess tents Is the ditch for the pipe line. It Is three feet deep and two wide, nnd on one side is the embank ment of loose cloy. Last night while several of tho men were standing around the kitchen fires warming themselves and listening to the band concert, some wag called from Mie of ficers' tents: "Fall In for furlough! This way!" There were a few quick movements, and several of the men, blinded by the darkness and by the glare of tho band torches, and forget ting. In their haste, all about the em bankment and tho ditch, "fell In" but not for furloughs. Privates Michael Moffatt. Conrad Rcnschler nnd Charles Hoffmelster, of C, left for home on n week's furlough this morning. Private William J. Hag gerty, of the same company, returned last night. Privates William G. Creter and Charles Leuthe are now Installed as the chefs for C Company, and are giv ing much satisfaction. Private Miles J. Drlscoll, of C, order ly at Division headquarters, reported for duty this morning, after a furlough of Bovon days. Private Sprague, of B, returned from home last night, utter n furlough of seven days. Many of the boys are now reading "Around the World on JCO," by Robert Meredith. They say they find It quite congenial. Richard J. Bourke. TRIAL OF MAJOR PARKE. The Defense Moved for a Non-Suit, But It Was Not Allowed Case Will Be Besumed Today. Dy Associated J'res, Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa Sept. L'.i. Several witnesses were called by the prosecution today nt the trial by general court-martial of Major Charles It. Parke, of Scranton, to show that an order was promulgated by Major Gen eral Davis, while In command nt Thor oughfare Gap, requiring descriptive lists of patients to be delivered to the surgeon In chnrge of division hospitals. it wns not proven, though, that such an order had ever been served on Major t'arke while he was In charge of tho Second division hospital here or that he had any knowledge of It.

Principal T. G. Osborne, In behalf of the school and community, uccepted the flag, conclud ing his remarks with the earnest wish that its Influence may continue to In crease until the boys and girls of every land may have their lives moulded and ennobled by the Inspiration of a flag as true to the spirit of liberty as ours. The oration of tho day was by Mr. A. F. Doud, of Greenwood, whose elo quent tribute to the old flag and por trayal of Its prowess on land and sea, brought forth the applause of tho audi ence, which It richly merited. Begin ning with a discussion of the household and national ensigns of the people of primitive times, by which patriotic lm puses were engendered, fostered and strengthened, ho unfolded in an able manner the origin, growth and devel opment of our own Hag; how from the "holy ground," that heritage of tho Pilgrim fathers who sowed the seed of liberty and "freedom to worship God," sprang up this beautiful emblem, moro glorious than nny the world has ever known. Alluding to the children before him, he hoped that thl3 flag of ours would grow with their growth and strengthen with tholr strength. His dosing remarks were most beautiful and his entire address was such as could only increase tho reputation he has long enjoyed as a speaker of marked ability on occasions of this kind.
