The Indications Are That the Case Is Practically Decided in lis Favor Colonel Stone Paid a Visit to the Camp Thirteenth to iio Made a Thiee Battalion Kegiment. This Indicates That It Is Destined for Service in Cuba or Elsewhere. Special to The Tribune. Cninp Aleaile, Mldilletown, Pa., Sept. ill. The case of Major C. It. Purke lias Imh'U closed. The evidence In all In. JIajor Parke called at the Thirteenth's headquarters this morning on business, and bade his friends gooil-lyo. He loft on a thirty-day leave of absence, an indication that his case Is considered as practically decided In his favor. He was supposed to be under arrest, and the permission Ktven to hi in to bo home shows what result is expected. Colonel William A. Stone, Itepubll can candidate for the Rovernorshlp.was in camp today 'and called upon Colonel Coursen. He made the rounds of the company streets and expressed himself as very favorably Impressed Itli the soldierly appearance of the men and the scrupulous cleanliness of the Thir teenth's quarters. He dined with Col onel Coursen and the staff. The prospect of attaching a part of the First Delaware to the Thirteenth so as to make the latter a three-battalion regiment now stems about to be realized, and no stronger indication that wo will bo held In the service for some time could dp had than this. It will be remembered that the regular United States Infantry regiments con sist of three battalions, and It has been the evident purpos? of the government to produce among the volunteer troops a conformity with this rule. It looks very much now as though this will happen also in the case of the Thir teenth, and, that once done, a winter vacation for the boys in Cuba or Porto Itlco would no longer be a probability, but an absolute certainty. WILL BE MORE CONTENT. The die will soon be cast, and the tnen will then be more content. It is the uncertainty of the situation which atfects them most und makes them restleFS. While they would certainly object very seriously to being used for garrison purposes for two years on for eign soil, there Is only a small percent age of those who have left come one dependent on them at home.that would object to going to the West Indies till next summer. That, however, would be the extremest length. The records of the cases of sickness in the Thirteenth, the Fourth Missouri, the Eighth Pennsylvania and the Fif teenth Minnesota, have recently been obtained as they stand up to date, and they are certainly interesting. The Missouri and the Minnesota regiments are composed of twelve companies each. The former has four hundred and forty-one enlisted men sick; the latter four hundred and (lft, giving, on the average, one man out of every three Incapable of attending to duty. The Eighth Pennsylvania has ten com panies and one hundred und thirty nine men on the sick list or onci man In every seven. The Thirteenth, com posed of eight companies, has now elghty-flvo names on the hospital re ports, or, in other words, there Is one sick man to every nine who are well, These figures show that, notwIthstHnd Ing the many cases of sickness whli h have been reported from day to tiny In the regiment, Hie Thirteenth la far from being the worst In camp. In fact. If the figures of other commands could he obtained they would show beyond h doubt that the Thirteenth is one of the healthiest regiments In the Second army corrs. There- are many reasons for this most of the men nr hardy, and from experiences received In National Guard encamimtents know how to take euro of themselves under nil the conditions of this life. Resides thin, the officers from the colonel down, and the medical staff are nlwuys vig ilant, and are .prompt not only to check dlseaso whenever It appears, but fiie name buy again even to prevent it entirely. The fig ure? of tho Thirteenth sick appear large, because of the Interest which acquaintances, friends and relatives at home have In the boys. SICKNESS ON INCREASE. For the past few day sickness has bean somewhat on the Increase, owing to the heavy rains, fogs and the vari able conditions of the weather, but most of the cases were no more seri ous than slight colds. About two weeks ago while engaged In athletic games with some of the boys, Private Thomas . Lewis, of A company, bad his right forearm severe ly wrenched. Though It pained hlin somewhat he paid no attention to It further than to paint It with Iodine. As It grew worse Instead of better, ho went to see Major Keller yesterday. The diagnosis of the nrm was com pleted this morning, and It was found that the bones were broken and splin tered In several places. Dr. Keller set the bones and bandaged the arm, and expects that It will soon be as good as ever. Yesterday Privates John O'Brien, of Hartford. Conn., and John J. Timlin, son of Justice of the Peace John Tim lin, of Archbald, members of Company II of the Second North Carolina, arriv ed at 'amp Meade, and called to see friends In the Thirteenth. Duilng the summer months they were quartered on the Island of St. Simon on the coast of Georgia, at Camp John B. Gordon. A few weeks ago the regiment was ordered to Raleigh, North Carolina, and was stationed at Camp Shlpp-Ragley, triined after Lieutenant Shlpp, of the Rough Riders, and Ensign Worth Rag ley, of the Wlnslow, the first American sailor killed In the late war. Roth men looked tanned and healthy and were coming north on a thirty-day fur longn, nt the end of which time they will teturn to camp to be mustered out. Privates O'Brien and Timlin tell some very peculiar tales of soldier life In the South where negro lynching Is more popular than " Yankee Doodle," and where men were treated In the hospitals more like cattle than any thing else. Private Timlin Is a mem ber of Professor Guth's South Side band, which Is attached to the Second North Carolina. BULLS AT LARGE. Last night two bulls broke loose from a neighboring farm and for a time raised havoc and consternation in camp. They entered the lines nt the canteen and then headed for the sta bles, bellowing madly, and In a short time the colored cooks and hostler were Hying In every direction. The half-wild animals nfterwards made n tour of tho camp, and kept the boys awake till 12 o'clock They were final ly rounded up by members of the guard at tho point of the bayonet, and chased outside the lines. These un desirable nightly visitors will not be welcome In the future, and their pres ence will be guarded against. Hereafter, until the Second battalion returns and the commissioned officers who are now sick shall have been re turned to duty, Colonel Courpen has decided to let sergeants act as officers ot the guard, For the past two weeks this position has been filled alternately by Lieutenant Murphy, of C, and by Lieutenant Foote, of D, and being up every ot,her night was more than the ordinary constitution could stand. This change will be much appreciated and will go into effect tomorrow. Privates John Anderson and Jumes f''R'jyle, of A, the latter attached to brigade commissary, are home and confined to their beds with fever. They left here on furlough and were taken sick while home. They have applied for an extension of their furloughs. Prlvato Harry Smith, of D, was to day discharged from regimental ho3 nltal. and In company with his father. 1 J. K. Smith, of Scranton, left for homo I this afternoon on sick furlough. j Corporal William Dunkorly, of C, I who bus been sick In regimental hos pltnl for a few days, Is now Improving rapidly. He had a fever, but not seri ous enough to bo taken to division hospital. ARE RACK IN CAMP. Private Boone, Belles, Hoffman, Relntke, Cummlnskl, Sherman, Gard ner and Rice, of A, returned to camp lftt night from a seven-day furlough. Private Bert Nlles, of C, left for his home in New Mili'ord, Suiquehanaa w county, last night. Ho Is suffering from a cold and cough. Harold Gillespie, of the hospital corps, Is now able to attend to his duties after a few days' Illness. itatnuet Richards, Company D's chef, Is suffering from n sore back, the re sult of a strain. Tils case Is not very serious. Private William Welhu takes his place In the kitchen. Tho division olllcer of the day yes terday reported the camp of the Thir teenth as "in excellent condition." Corporal Homer Pease, of A, yester day entertained hie cousdn, Frank S. Eaton, of Itarrlshurg, und Mrs. Rosen berry, of Chambetsburg. Prlvato Frank Keith, of A, left for homo this nftornoon on furlough. Prlvato William Kinback, of D, who returned last night from furlouah, was one day behind time, but Captain GUI man with a bless-you-my-ehlldrcn gesture forgave hlin under the circum stances. Tho fant Is Private Kinback, much to the surprise of all, hade adieu to bachelorhood while hnme visiting his family nt Archbald, He married Miss Nettle Collins, of Klzcrs, a cousin of Sergeant I.ona R. Day, of the same company. The hoys made things live ly for him on his return, and offerel their congratulations. Private Kin back treated them to cigars. Corporal Fred Rellershelm, of R, to day received word from home that his two children are. seriously 111 with diphtheria Corporal Rernard Haggerty. of C, had to be taken to Division hospital today. Ho Is suffering from tho re sult of a serious strain. Richard J. Bourko. GIRARD'S LATEST ORDER. i No More Patients Are to Be Sent to City Hospitals Cause of This Radical Change of Plan. By Associated I'ress. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa., Sept. 29. Surgeon General Sternberg has In structed Chief Surgeon Glrard to send no more patients to city hospitals from Camp Meade. The conduct of the trustees of the Good Samaritan hospi tal of Lebanon, Is lorgely responsible for tho surgeon general's notion. Af ter tendering the good offices of the hospital stnff and the facilities of the institution to tho medical department of the Second corps, the trustees wrote to Governors Plngrec and Rushnell demanding pay for treating soldiers from Michigan and Ohio. These com munications were forwarded to the war department und from there to Colonel Glrard. Ho at once notified the trus tees that they would be allowed sixty cents a day for each soldier patient and that no more patients would bo sent to that hospital, or to any other civil hospital. The health conditions at Camp Meade are such that Colonel Glrard thinks It will not be necessary to re lieve the hospitals by s-endlng sick sol diers to Institutions away from camp. Tho Red Cross society is doing splen did work and If necessary the society will fit up a hospital In Philadelphia for the care of sick soldiers that may be sent from Camp Meade. Forty patients were sent to Lebanon hospital after repeated offers from tho presi dent and trustees of that institution. Governor Hastings said tonight that he did not believe any hospital In Pennsylvania would send n bill to the governor of a state for nursing a sick soldier away from home. "To resort to such a thing," he added, "would be unworthy of uny hospital in the state, unworthy of the patriotic sentiment ot the people and a reproach upon tho fair name of our commonwealth." Charles Robinson, of Philadelphia, an orderly at the Red Cross hospital, wus stricken by typhoid fever last night. He was removed today to a Philadel phia hospital. There are several crit ical cases of typhoid, xbut the surgeons seem to have obtained the upper hand In the treatment of the disease. Two deaths occurred last night. Pri vate Archie McFarland, Company K, First Maryland, died at the Red Cross hospital from typhoid fever, and his body will be taken to his late home In Mount Savage, Md by his father. Private Archie Tomlln, Company A, Fourth Missouri, died at the Lebanon hospital this morning from the same disease. Among the vlrltors at camp today were Colonel William A. Stone, Repub lican nominee for governor: D. B. Martin, general traffic manager: J. M. Schvyver, general passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio, and Edson J. Weeks, general passenger agent Phil adelphia and Reading railway. Col onel Stone spent the greater, part of the time with the Pennsylvania troops, and General Gobln.
