so THE SCilAJNTON T1UBUJNJ3-SATURDAY, OUTOBEIt 1', 18U8 i FIRST DELAWARE TO LEAVE CAMP MAJOR WOOD'S BATTALION BE TURNB TO CAMP. Its Term of Duty at the Commissary at Harrisburg Is Ended Other Battalion That Romafacd in Camp Is Not Sorry Prisoners in tho Guard Houso Are Very Carefully Guarded Many Who Wero Home on Furlough Have Returned to Camp. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, rn.,Sept.30. At the present writing1 the First Del aware has begun the first steps looking to a breaking of camp. Two battalion will leave horo ns speedily na trans portation facilities will allow, and will no to the railroad siding near Middle town, whence they will take the train for the city of Wilmington, there to be mustered out of service. It Is under stood that the .remaining battalion of that regiment will be used to raise the quota of tho Eighth and the Thir teenth. Major General Graliam, commander of the corps, Issued an order yesterday ta Major General Davis, of the Second division, Instructing him to furnish, from some of tho regiments In his command, ono battalion which will do Rencral fatigue duty at the main com missary near corps headquarters. This same order relieves tho Second bat talion of the Thirteenth from duty at that point, and also requires It to re port at the headquarters of the regi ment at once. This means that Major Wood's com mand will leave their present place at the commissary, and once more will be encamped hero before .the end of this week. The boys of the Second battalion will regret the change on ac count of the kind of work which they had to do and the liberal pass priv ileges which they enjoyed. The feel ing Is quite different among the mem bers of the First battalion. They have In many respects been overworked on account of sickness and the furloughs, and they have been severely overtaxed with guard duty and detail work. SCARCITY OF NURSES. In a former letter reference was made to the scarcity of hospital nurses and the urgent desire of the corps commander to Increase the number. He suggested that It would be advisa ble to have two good and reliable men from each company volunteer their services for the hospitals. The call has not been very promptly answered; the number of patients Is Increasing and some more permanent Improve ments must be made on account of tho approach of the cold weather. The pressure of circumstances demanded a larger force of men, and yesterday an order was Issued foi- the benefit of First division hospital. Each regiment hsd to furnish Its pro ratn .tuotn. The Thirteenth was called upon to detail live men for a period of twenty days to do general work around the hospital and to help nurse the sick whenever necessary to do so. The presence In the guard house of a few prisoners who are serving sentries recently Imposed by general court martial, has caused the atmosphere In that vicinity to become much cooler than usual. The prisoners are In a tent .by themselves, and, for the first time In the history of the regiment, this tent Is guarded by two aentries, one in front and one at the rear, who .stand at attention with loaded rifles, and with several rounds of nmunitlon in their belts. They have received positive Instruction to shoot, und to shoot to kill, In case either of the pris oners should attempt to escape. It is needless to say that conditions around tha guard house, as a result, are busl-ness-lllke, and exact. One of the pris oners Is In tor fout months and fined $40; the other for thirty days, with a fine of $10 added. PROSPECT OP EXCURSION. The boys are delighted today and the prospect of an excursion from Scranton grows much brighter. For a time It looked as though It had been entirely dropped, but Captain Gillman, of Com pany D, Informed The Tribune corres pondent this morning that all arrange ments for running the excursion are nearly completed. Several railroad of ficials were here today. It Is supposed that tickets for the round trip will cost $5 and an extra provision may be made for those excursionists who wish to remain around camp for a few duys. The train will leave Scranton at 7 o'clock on tho morning of Oct. 8, arriv ing here at noon, and returning the evening of the same day at 7.S0. The whole regiment will be "at home" then, and tho boys will give the visit ors a royal welcome to Camp Meade.

Major General Graham Is Afraid of an Attack of Contagious Diseases. By Associated Press. Camp Meade, Mlddletown. Pa., Sept. 30. The Pennsylvania camp will prob ably be a thing of Hie past before the snow begins to lly. Secretary of War Alger is anxious to get the Second corps away from Mlddletown before cold weather sets In, and will ship the troops south to prepare them for ser vice In the West Indies. Major Gen eral Graham Is afraid of an outbreak of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other contagious diseases If the men are housed in the north In temporary bar racks. The health of his command Is excellent, and ho prospects are the movement to the south will commence Within the next fifteen days. There Is a marked decrease In malaria, and there Is little typhoid fever outside of the New York regiments brought here from Camp Black. Surgeon General Sternberg may change his mind about sending the sick soldiers to City hospitals from Camp Meade. -The Lebanon hospital trustees have convinced Chief Surgeon GIrard that they were not respons ible for the demands made upon Gov ernors Bushnell, Lowndes nnd Pln gree for taking care of invalid soldiers of Ohio, Maryland and Michigan. The demand was made by an .Irresponsible party, and the Lebanon people have renewed their offer to take care of sick soldiers. Colonel GIrard wired General Sternberg the condition of affairs, and suggested that the offer be accepted. Mrs. Horace Brock and other trus tees of the Good Samaritan hospital had a conference with Colonel GIrard today and straightened out matters to the satisfaction of both nartles. After their meeting. Mrs. Brock, ns president of the board of hospital trus tees, sent a letter of explanation to Adjutant General Corbin. "The hospital at Lebanon has at present, and nlways will have, ample means to take care of all the sick soldiers that there Is room to take," says Mrs. Brock. "Its financial con dition Is entirely satisfactory, having plenty of means to give the soldiers proper treatment nnd every comfort. The writer of the letter was In no way authorized to write the letters which he did and the first notice the hospital has received of this has this moment come through Colonel GIrard. "I regret extremely that any respons ible member of the community should take upon himself to place the hospital In such nn untrue lleht. I beg to ex press the deep regret which will be felt by every one connected with the hospltnl over this. I believe wo were the flrst hospital In tho state to take care of any of the soldiers at the, first call, and hope to be able to do so as long as we can be of any service to the government." Steward Ncate, of the chief surgeon's office, was seized with typhoid while on a visit to his home at Baltimore and was removed to the Fort McIIenry hos pital. Major Reed, president of the board appointed by Secretary Alger to Investigate the sanitary conditions of the camps In the country, Is here try ing to locate the cause of the outbreak of typhoid In the New York regiment. Colonel GIrard and Major Reed went to Lancaster today to Inspect the gen eral hospital In which several soldiers are being treated for typhoid. Major Charles H. Taike, who was tried by general court-martial for al leged refupal to receive descriptive lists of patients while In charge of the Sec ond division hospital, has been released from arrest and allowed to visit his home In Scranton on a thirty-day fur lough. The findings In the Parke case have not yet been received by General Graham. J. II. Crothers, of Harris burg, pleaded guilty In the Dauphin county court today to selling liquor to soldiers at Camp Meade and was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment and to pay a line of $500. The provost guards have been Instructed to keep close watch on venders In camp to pre vent tho sale of liquor.
