Wooden Kitchens Are Being Erected .Which Will Enable the Cooks to Take Setter Caro of tho nations Served to the Companies Corpor als for Company H Appointed. General Qobln Raises a Storm Re cause BatlonB Were Not Plentiful Enough Gossip of the Camp. Special to the Scranton Tribune. -rCamp Meade, Mlddletown, Oct. 3. The action of the Lebanon City hos pital in attempting to make charges for treating1 soldiers, after It had asked to take them and treat them gratis from oupposed patriotic motives, Is meeting' with a good deal of condemna tion In camp; and the men of thp Thir teenth are not behind the others In ex pressing the Indignation which they feel on account of It. In this respect the men are a unit. Tho division hos pitals are so filled that an extra corps of hospital nurses had ,to be raised during the past week by compulsory process; und, besides this, they recog nize the fact that many of their com rades who, If the had been Kept In camp for treatment, would In all pro bability have died, n.iw owe their lives to the fact that they had h?cn re moved In time to some of the flrst cliss hospitals cf the several cities In the stale. All dread the field hospitals, and your correspondent has on many occasions seen men who lingered and fought with desperation for days against the Inevitable ravages of disease In order to ii.ereby avoid going to those Insti tutions. PUTTING VI KITCHENS. So far no company, with the excep tion of F, has had a regular kitchen. The old National Guard mess flics were the only protection offered to the per ishable eatables In case of rain or fform, nnd In some cases these were Incapable of preserving anything. They either leaked or were so tattered that the rain came through them unresist ed, when they were not flattpned to the ground by the first gust of wind. This defect Is to be remedied. Lumber has been furnished, and It Is expected that the carpenters of the regiment will be at work tomorrow erecting wooden shanties which will be large enough to accommodate the stoves and all cooking utensils, and. at the same time, will safely hold all food supplies. This change will appeal to the cooks who had to perform some wonderful, almost miraculous, feats on rainy days to keep the fires alive and prepare the meals. It will also prevent some of the rations from being destroyed. The band gave Us usual concert last evening between half-past seven and half-past eight o'clock, and of all those present the most surprised were the members of the Second battalion who had not heard the band play before for ivarly a month. They were aston ished at thu Improvement which had taken place under Sergeant SIHes' leadership, and wpre loud In their praises of the Thirteenth's fplendld musicians. Owing to recent changes In the per sonal of the non-commissioned officers of Company II, several promotions to the position of corporal were made yesterday by Captain Corwln, and an nounced at roll call last night. Those who were raised from privates to cor porals are: "William "Wright, Patrick Vhalen, Conrad "Watson, and Holly J. Clancy. Private Mai tin Goodwin was named as wagoner. CHANGES IN CAMP. One seeing the camps of the Eighth and of the Thirteenth yesterday would hardly recognize them today. Friday evening the battalion of tho Eighth, which had been doing provost duty at Illddletown, pitched Its tents on tho c.hl ground In the shadow of brigade headquarters, and early this morning the army wagons, bearing the heavy equlppagc of the Second battalion of the Thirteenth, began to arrive In charge of details of men. Soon after--..nrds the four companies were here and mutual greetings full of good will and warmth were exchanged. Some of tl'f- men, who were very good friends, and accustomed formerly to see and to converse with one another daily, had not met In three weeks. They all felt a? If they had been lost nnd found. Tho members of the Second battalion ueic desirious of remaining at the commissary on account of the pass privileges which were granted to them, but It was quite different with those of the First battalion, who had to be on guard twice, and, In many In stances, three times a week, and twice or. heavy detail work. There was a mighty howl In tho Third brigade Friday on account of a shortage of rations. Sugar, onions, potaces nnd bread were conspicuous chiefly by their absence. In the morn ing the ridiculously small amount of four loaves of bread Was distributed tn each company of the Thirteenth. Tl.o Fifteenth Minnesota and the Klghth Pennsylvania also ran behind. "When Colonel Coursen found out the coniitlon of affairs In the Thirteenth he very promptly and properly gave the matter his attention, and Insisted that his men bo given tho rations due them, and that, too, without delay. GENERAL WAS INDIGNANT. When Brigadier General Gobln was made acquainted with the facts he was indignant and wanted it understood that, for the future, the men in his command are to be fed at any cost, and under all circumstances; If not ho would know the why and the wherefore of the neglect. This action of Gener al Gobln and of Colonel Coursen had its effect, and a liberal supply of bread was Issued In time for supper last night. Today there is no complaint, and nil tho men nro satisfied that the Ktorm of yesterday will help to clear the atmosphere materially. The regiment canteen, Including the officers' mess, Is a thing of the past, and the proprietor, Mr. Hood, of Wash ington, returned home today. For some time past that Institution had not given tho best of satisfaction and frequent complaints were heard on the part of the officers. In fact, it was several times suggested and not with out a show of reason, that the heavy rate of sickness nmong the staff and the line officers was, in no small meas ure, duo to the manner In which the mess and the canteen were run. It was never noticeable for Us cleanliness and there la a strong suspicion abroad that to It are to be charged the many cases of sickness now existing among the officers.

POWDER Absolutely Puro oyi kin(i rowDM eo., dtw vomt. be a neat, well-kept oyster house, where oysters in every style and lunches will bo served, and to which the men will be allowed access in case they desire anything extra to eat. This change will be appreciated, nnd it promises to be a complete success. ABOUT FURLOUGHS. The limit of the furloughs will soon be reached. Tne order allowing ten men out of every company to go home at one time has been in force nearly three weeks, and as a result, most of the men have been home. When the la3t ones are reached, and that will probably be the case next week, the furlough privilege, unless In cabes of very urgent necessity, will cease. Thofe who are now going home are en vied by nil the others, especially as it movement from here to some camp farther off Is among the very probable possibilities. Ganeral Gobln Is formulating a plnn of work for the regiments of his com mand which he may probably soon put Into execution. This will consist of a march from hero to the old camp grounds of Mount Gretna, a distance of eighteen miles from here, nnd some target practice at the well known range at that place. Tho men are to bring their shelter, tents, ponchos and blankets. Tho entire trip will tnke at least four days, and may be under taken next Tuesday morning early. At this writing all the details are not perfected; nor Is any date absolutely fixed. Religious exercises were held In the Young Men's Christian association tent at 10 o'clock Sunday morning by Chaplain Stnhl. They were well at tended. CAMP GOSSIP. Artificer Perry B. Bowman nnd Pri vate Robert B. Harmony, of Company D, who recently went home on fur lough, are unable to return on account of sickness. The former Is in the Hahnemnn hospital, Scranton, nnd the other at his home, In Hazlcton. Privates John Connell, James White nnd William II. Smith, of D, have returned from furlough. Lieutenant Berry, of B, Is expected to return to his company In a few di.ys. Lieutenant Murphy gave an exhibi tion of "rough riding" on C Company street this morning. Some of the boys were so unkind as to say that It was "rough" on the horse. Company Clerk John Malla, of C, after n few clays' sickness In quarters, has had to be taken to Division hos pital. Corporal William Bauer, of A, has received a flute from home, and ren ders some choice selections occasion ally. Sergeant Clarence Seward, of D, Is now able to be around after a week's attnrk of malarial fever. Privates locr Welchel and Thomas Hunter, of H, nre sick In quarters to day, but nothing serious is anticipat ed. Alfred E. Swayer. of Honesdale, Is In camp visiting his brother-in-law. Major Walter Wood, of the Second battalion. In the absence of First Sergeant Parry, of H, the duties of that posi tion are ably discharged by Quarter master Sergeant G. C. Rogers, assist ed by Corporals Dlkeman nnd Shop land. Prlvnte Thomas Stephens, Company F's cook, hus returned from a fur lough. Lieutenant John H. Benlnmln, of II. Is expecting a short leave of absence some time this week. Richard J. Bourke. DOES NOT BELIEVE STORY Major General Graham Thinks the Troops Will Remain at Camp May Participate in Philadelphia Pa rade. By Associated Tress. Camp Meade, Mlddletown, Pa., Oct. 3. Major Geneinl Graham taKC3 no slock In the report that the Second corps will be shipped from Camp Meade to Anniston, Ala., preparatory to being sent to tho West Indies as an army of occupation. The health of his command Is excellent and tho general believes It will be retained In the north until It Is driven to a warmer climate by cold weather. He thinks It would be folly to take the troops away from a healthy location and put them In an unhealthy plnco In the south nnd then ship them from there to Cuba, which Is even more unhealthy. If the war department officials take his advice the HOE It will pay j'oii to buy your shoes of us, for the reason, we always buy in large quantities from concerns in need of ready cash, aud we do sell stylish and serviceable shoes for less than cost of making of shoes. We guarantee to save you money on every pair of shoes you buy from us. A Few of the Many Bargains : Hen's Hand Sewed Calf Shoes, all sizes, at $1.98 to $2.29. Hen's Heavy and Street Shoes at 98 cents and $1.29 Ladies' Shoes at 50c, 98c, $1.49 and $1.98. Boys' Shoes at 79 cents and $1.25. Misses' and Children's Shoes to clear out at your owu MYER 307 corps will bo shipped direct to Cuba from Camp Meade. He proposes to have a serlea of re views before the corps leaves here. He will review the troops himself first to ascertain and correct any defects and will follow this review wltji brl gado review b nnd general military functions. Ho says he will bt very happy to parade the corps at the peace Jubilee at Philadelphia If the war de partment gives him permleston. The local committee will have to provldo transportation but tho general esti mates that It will take ten trains of forty cars each to transport the corps. The Second West Virginia hns been ordered to vncote Us present grounds, which will bo used as n second parado ground, the other parado ground being two miles distant from corps head quarters. The second review ground Is for sudden reviews in behalf of visiting dlstnltnrles. Chaplain Kelly returned from Gettys burg today with thirty men of the West Virginia regiment, who wore taken to the Second division hosDitul. Four of the soldiers are suffcrln from typhoid fever and others from rheumullsm. Thl3 morning tho West Virginians started on a match to York, where tho regiment will be a big feature at the county fair. They will resume the march to Camp Meade on Frldiy, reaching the camp -I'lout Monday. This afternoon a train under the au spices of the Red Cross society took forty-eight sick soldiers to Philadel phia hospitals. Hereafter a train must be furnished for alt soldiers taken away to city hospitals. Colonel Glrard has made this order by reason of the changing weather conditions and the fact that It Is not safe to move them on cots ploced In express and baggage cars. He thinks the Philadelphia Hos pitals can easily necommodato all the overl-lfow patients hereafter, owing to the rapid decrease In sickness. Olll cers have been stationed ut Philadel phia with furloughs, transportation and commutation for the return of convalescents to their homes. Colonel Gliard thinks the city hospitals and the good nursing have Eaved many lives. Prlvnte Joseph Cover, Company A, Tenth Ohio, bled to death this nfter noon nt the Raymond and Campbell works, Mlddletown. Cover called at the works to sharpen his pocket knife on n felt wheel. He was refused and after the foreman turned his back Cover placed the knife on the wheel. The knife was scarcely on the wheel until It caught, flew off and struck the soldier in the right leg, between the knee and thigh, severing an aitery. A physician was summoned, but ar rived too late, as tho soldier died five minutes nfter the accident occurred. Major W. A. Walker, of the Second Tennesse, regiment, Is seilously 111 at the home of a friend In Hnrrlsburg. His mother, who came to Harrlsburg to look after her son, Captain Wnlker, a patient at St. Clare Inilrmnry, was tak en 111 this morninsr, nnd Is also at the home of a friend. Mrs. Wnlker Is suf fering from a collapse, due to the anx iety about her sons. TOWANDA MAN ABROAD. Resident of Bradford Views the Wonders of the D. and H. Gravity and Makes Observations. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Towanda, Oct. 3. That the month of September Is tho proper period of tho year for one to enjoy an outing, has been proven by the writer. Our first principal points of Interest was the scenes of the lumber camps nnd the hum of the saw mills ns wo rolled over the Lehigh Valley branch, known ns the Bowman's Creek, from Townnda to Wllkes-Barre. The mining section of this wild woods shows that con siderable fuel has been brought out and shipped to a great extent In the state. The most beautiful sheet of wat er will also be seen at Ganooga Lake. where year after year cottages are oc cupied by those who go to leave all care and toll nt home. After a short ride through the wilds of Sullivan coun ty we were soon brought up alongside that large and bottomless lake, thence soon we nre viewing the beautiful Wyo. mlng Valley and are brought Into tho grand depot nt Wllkes-Barre, which city Is well known for Its beauty and Interesting public places. After whll lng a few hours amid the throng of cltyltes we boarded the electric car for Plttston, the city of saloons nnd dirty streets, although we admit It has many beautiful buildings both public nnd private. Now we are In the center of the mining section of the valley, where tons of coal are mined dally and shipped In all direction. At this place we were royally entertnlned by Edmund Evans, a No. 4 shaft boss, who knows well how to "misuse" his friends; alsn R. E. Bennett, the well-known con stable, who has worried out many a poor debt among his collections. We were next bound for old Wayne county, and after a short trip over the D L. - W. to Scranton we directed ourselves to the D. & H's passenger depot nnd were soon gliding nlonc Its beautiful scenic road to Seeleyvllle, via Carbondale, at which station we were transferred to the Gravity coaches to complete our destination.

R. company, and one must take a trip over its line to appreciate tho novelty of riding over the Mooslo mountains In open or closed cars, as one may choose, without an engine to puff and smoke. In riding over the rond our attention wns greatly attracted when Fnrvtew Park was culled by the conductor. Upon Inquiry we wcro Informed that this beautiful summer resort was lo cated 2,000 feet nbovo sea level be ing situated midway between Carbon dale and Honesdnle. Many picnics are enjoyed nt this popular resort. The grounds have been fitted up by the D. & II. Company and we would recom mend It to our Northern Pennsylvan lans as grandest of all grand points for an excursion, for which rates can bo reasonably secured. Terms enn be eas ily secured by nddrcsslng the District Passenger Agent, II. W. Cross, at Scranton. The Gravity railroad was originally built In 1S2S-29, and the first locomo tive run In America. "The Stoui bridge Lion," wns operated over that line of the loaded track, west of Honesdnle. Aug. 8, 1820. The coaches weighing 16,000 pounds, have a capacity of over twenty-live passengers. There ate eight ns cendlng und four descending planes from Carbondule to Honosdale, tho longest being 2CS0 feet nnd the shortest 029 feet. The speed of trains Is twenty five miles nn hour on the planes. The steepest grnde is said to be 117 feet per mile and the greatest curve is nt Shepherd's Crook; Carbondale Is 1075 feet above sea level, while Honesdale is given as being OS,", feet. The pas sengers are given the most courteous attention by the trainmen and If any one wishes to enjoy a short outing they should receive the D. & H.'s cir culars of Information before making a decision. Seeleyvlllp, which W'ns our objective point for recreation Is sltuuted one mile from Honesdnle on the Gravity road, and Is not only a manufacturing town but a beautiful hamlet. This place pos sesses a woolen mill which turns out cloths and nearly all kinds of woolen goods, glass cutting factory and a glove and umbrella stick factory, which In all give employment to many hundred ladles and gentlemen. One of the most magnificent and scenic towns we have ever visited Is Honesdale, with its parks, line dwellings and streets, tho latter being due to the ladles of the town who have formed a society to look after the cleanliness of the thor oughfares. While here we received the kind hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Evans. Carbondale was next visited: the city poor house Is situated about five miles out of the limit and is managed by one of Bradford county's agriculturists, J. F. Ackley and wife, w ho gave us a very warm reception and spared no pains In driving us out to view the beautiful lakes of Crystal and Newton. Mr. Ack ley has charge of eighteen unfortunates who speak In tho best terms as to their treatment, etc. The farm consists of about CO acres and the surroundings are well kept up In first-class manner by the management. Prlceburg and Dunmore was next visited, and at the latter place we were halted at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Young, for a short time. G. I had Salt Rheum for years.
