Bpcclnl to tho Scranton Tribune.
Camp Meade, Mlddtetown, Va., Sept.
23. 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

fense moved for a non-suit, but It was
not sustained, and the trial will be re

MOOSIC.
One more edition of Old Glory was
flung to the breezes with appropriate
ceremonies at the public school build
ing at Mooslc yesterday. The Hag was
provided by the Lackawanna township
school board and the exercises were
presided over by Mr. John McCrlndle,
chairman of that body. The music for
the occasion was by the Avoca Cornet
bnnd, supplemented by the singing of
the school children. The presentation
was made by former School Director
GrlfTlth T. Davis, who, In an up-to-date
eulogy of the Stars and Stripes, pointed
out most forcibly the necessity of Im
planting nt an early age In the rising
generation that lovo of liberty and de
votion to country by which alone a
government like ours can hope to be
upheld and perpetuated. 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.
