tant General "Wllmer und Inspector
General Mumford were also visitors to
the camp. Their visit Is In relation to
the muster out of the First Maryland.
Many of the men want to leave the

it is doubtful If any of the regiments
in the corps will be mustered out be
fore congress convene".

"Friends Forever."
The two regiments were encamped
close together at Camp Algtr, und when
the commissary department failed to
make suitable provision for the Ten
nessee boys the members of the Sixth
regiment came to the rescue with ra
tions saved from their own supplies.
Tho two regiments lay near each other
at Carnp Meade nnd on Pennsjlvanla
soil their friendship was tenewed and
strengthened.
GOSSIP OF THE CAMP.
Preclal to the Scranton Tribune
Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa,, Sept.
28 The storm which hroko so suddenly
over camp lato Monday afternoon, and
with a force which was as terrific us It
waB unprecedntcd for this time of year,
has worked almost a complete change
in the appearance of camp. Without
any apparent cause or high tempera
ture the sky began to darken by de
grees, nnd at 4 o'clock It was black
as night. An ordinary rain storm was
expected, and the men sought their
tents. Quick flashes of lightning would
cleave tho heavens; the artillery of
the Almighty thundered and crashed
with a deafening sound, und then the
rain began to corne down with terrific
force.
The canvas stretched and creaked
and groaned beneath the force of the
rain and the wind. The storm pre
sented a magnificent spectacle, and
the sublimity of the scene was Intensi
fied by the fact that every bolt of light
ning seemed to pass right over one's
head, to dazzle the eyes, and to strike
close byall to be followed Instantly
bv a sound of thunder which shook the
very earth. The raised position of most
of the troops on the hills and the pres
ence of so much steel udded not a little
to the realism of the scene. In sever
nl lnstunces the boys of the Thirteenth
speculated as to how near such nnd
such bolt of lightning struck, and they
weie not mistaken In one case that of
Private De I.aurlor, of Company M, of
the Tenth Ohio, who wns struck square
ly by a flash. The clothes were torn
off his body, which turned black In an
Instant, nnd several men who were In
the tents nearby were shocked, and In
somo Instances rendered senseless for
a time. This point Is not farther than
the length of an ordinary block fiom
tho lines of the Thirteenth.
It was well that the brigade commis
sary was moved somo time ago, or else
the bovs would bo cut short tn their
rations for a few days. Where the
roads cross In front of the former site
of the commissary tho wnter was two
feet and, in somo places, threo feet deep
after the storm had ceased. The heavy
sandy roads tendered travel almost
Impossible and pt evented the entry
of tho mall wagons to camp till nfter
8 o'clock yesterday morning.
The complaints ngnlnst hospltnls In
genernl ate becoming more bitter nnd
more frequent here among the boys.
Sevcrnl cases of bad management are
becoming potent and tho men are little
Inclined to have patience with such
things. Instances of this nature are
not, by any means, rare, and have been
multiplying to nn extent which Is cri
ticised severely by officers nnd enlist
ed men. Sergeant William Iloach, of
Company O, died In the Lancaster bos
pital Saturday afternoon, nnd yet the
commanding officer of the teglment,
Lieutenant Colonel Mnttes, was not
notified of that fnct till told Monday
morning by The Tribune correspondent.
In the same way private Henry Both,
of Company C, died at 1 o'clock on
the morning of the 2Cth and still thirty
four hours had elapsed before anybody
here was made aw aro of the death.
Another member of Company C, Prl
vate Hozelle, is now In a New York in
stead of In a Pennsvlvnnln hospital,
because somo Incompetent In the hos
pitals made a mistake, mixed matters
up and ns u result made him out n New
York soldier. As a result. Private Ho
zelle was lemoved to a New York hos
pital.
There was a geneial good time given
to the members of the Second Bat
talion Sunday evening. Captain Robert
J. McCausland, of Compnny G, arrived
In camp In company with his wife on
their wedding trip. The company
stieets were illuminated and all were
given an opportunity to appreciate and
enjoy Captain McCausland's generosity
and Uheralltv. Later In the evenfng
the bridal party left for New York
city. The boys of the Second Battalion
gave them a rojnl welcome und wished
them every happiness.
Lieutenants Murph, of C, and Foote,
of D, ate now alternating as olllcers of
the guard every day.
Captains Itobllng, of C, and Gillman,
of D, and Lieutenant Ilurkhouse, of
C, are having u monopoly of the duties
of officer of the day.
Private William Beckman, of C, has
been returned to his compnny, and
Private James Griner, of D, has been

F, Is acting hospital Stewart for the
Second Battalion in place of Sergeant

pany.
Private Frank William, of C, who
Is seriously sick In the city of Blng
hatnton and unable to leturn to camp,
has received a 30-duy extension of his
furlough.
Corporal Joseph Cleary, who Is act
ing company clerk of D, while cor
poral Jennings Is nt Brigade head
quarters. Is nursing u sore finger. He
was shaving himself Sunday and one
of the boys accldently ran against him.
Luckily the razor Indicted no more se
rious damage than a deep gash on the
Index finger of the left hand.
Attorney J Billot Boss arrived in
camp last night, and slept under can
vas. He will try to bring home his
son. Corporal Charles Bivss, of D, who
Is now suffering from fev in tho di

In a Lotter to Thomas G. Evans, of
Edna Avenue, He Has Something
to Say About the Hard Side of
Camp Life at Jacksonville Tho
Rough Riders Expect Soon to Bo
Sent to Cuba Ate All Western
Men.
A letter was received by Thomas O,
Hvans, of Hdna avenue, yesterday
from Milton W. Lewis, a member of
Colonel Torrey's Hough HIdors, Second
United States volunteer cavatty, Troop
F, now nt Jacksonville, Fin., Mr. Low
Is was originally a Nortlr Scranton boy
and he recites many incidents during
his service which will prove Interest
ing reading to his many friends In this
citv.
He writes from Jacksonville, Fla.,
where his company Is now encamped.
Colonel Torrey's calvary of Rough
Riders worn mustered Into service at
Cheyenne, Wyoming, nnd are all w est
er rr men.
They put In about a month of hnrd
drilling, from four to six und eight
hours i day before leaving Fort D.
A. Russell to go to the front. There
Is not a man among them that has
not ridden tho western ranges. The
letter says
"The latter part of June we got our
orders to prepnre to move. The boys
showed their approval by giving cheer
after cheer, but if they knew at that
time that we would have been held
Irr that suffocating hole near Jackson
ville, I think a good many of them
would have been tempted to desert.
"On our way to the south wo met
with on accident Our train complete
ly telescoped another, wounding fifty
men and killing eight. Our colonel
wns among the wounded. That ac
c omits, I think, for our not being
where we should have been, (to the
front 1 Nenrly two-thirds of tho reg
iment are disgusted with nrmy life,
for what weslern man who Is used to
the ranges cares for such strict disci
pline tlrut Is exercised by Uncle Sain?
Our grub has been verv rocky too. A
good many mornings for bieakfost w
would get black coffee and hnrd tacit
or perhaps a biscuit still harder with
a small plc( e of sow belly.
"T remember Troop K one morning
lining up for breakfast, every man
got his brenkfnst and then they walk
ed In single (He up to the lieutenant
colonel's tent The lender, a brave fel
low who has put In the whole of his
life on the plains of Kansas, Nebraska,
Wyoming and Montana, addressed
the colonel m follows 'Good morning
Colonel (with the customary salute.)
what do you think of vour breakfast,
do you think we can drill on a break
fast like that Irr this hot country, and
Keep It up'' The colonel's reply was
no, and there will be no drilling this
morning. Then for a long time tho
boys fated well but the olllcers forget
so easy, und It was not long before It
was the same old song, sow belly and
hard biscuit.
"I think we will be transported to
Cuba soon and t slncerelj hope that
Colonel Toney's regiment of Rough
Riders will get a chanie to show what
they can do.
