Camp Gossip. Bpeclal to the Stranton Tribune. Camp Meude, Mlililletown, Pa., Oct. J3. The condition of uffalrs In the Thirteenth hns taken on home rapid and Interesting changts within the past few days. The leslenalion of Lieuten ant Colonel C. C. Mattes engrohses the attention of every member of the ieg iment, from the youngest private to the highest officer. It has been under stood for some days past that the lieu tenant colonel has punt In his icslgn nation and that, In nil probability, it would be favorably acted upon by the higher military authorities 'Word to that effect was tecelved yesterday. I had a long Intonlew this morning with Lieutenant Colonel Mattes In le gaid to his resignation and the effect of It. Colonel Mattes stated that lie found himself situated like many of the men and resigned on account of the foice of eirucumstanee'. llnlng been connected with the state mllltla at the time the icglmcnt v. as called nut, he freely tendmed his soivIcts with the other ulllrpis and was iead and willing to go as far us the net In the matter, either of undergoing hardships or of making any other ne cessary sari hires, Since the leglment was mustered in at Mt. Oietn.i on tlm 12th of last May he has tturk closely to 1i!h post and has alwajs been strict in the discharge of his duties. REASON lie RK&IHNED Asked ns to what wcie the chief mo tives which led him to sever his con nection with the Thhtcenth, he said that he has manifold Inteiests of gre.t importance nt home which claim his attention and that he Is the guaidlan of two minor children a position which he cannot either neglect nor hao filled by any one else. As the guaidlanship lequires extreme care. It being a case of a delicate and lather complicated mature, he feels that the olicumstan ( es demanded his piescnce home, espec ially ns the regiment's nbence fiom home Is one of Inactivity and at best will, if it is ordered to go abioad, sim ply consist of doing a term of tedious garrison duty. This being the case he felt It his duty to send In hit. leslgnatlon, the validity of which reasons evidently satisfied his military &uieriois. Lieutenant Colonel Mattes enjoys an enviable military record and has of recent years been considered one of the greatest promoters and sustain ed of the high tenor of discipline and efficiency for which the Thirteenth has been noted. Ho enlisted In the Scran ton City Guard in Apiil, 1S78, and ser ed ns a private in Company C for one year. Soon after his enlistment he was promoted to a corporalship and later on to a sergenncy and In ISSS was made sergeant major of the regiment. In October of the same year he leeelved his commission ns regimental adjutant, was reappointed to that hnpoitnnt pos ition two years later and was elected first lieutenant of Company A In July 1S8" and captain in 18S7. His commis sion as captain he resigned befoie his term had expired, but his natural loe for military life led him to le-enllst as a private. In July 1S91 he was ap pointed quartermaster of the regiment and In January 1893 was elected ma jor. MADE LHUTTDN'ANT COLONEL. Two years later he lecelved his commission as lieutenant colonel when Colonel II. A. Coursen took command of the regiment as the successor of Colonel nipple. Colonel Mattes' com mission in the United States volunteer army dates from Jlay C, IS9S, though lie was not formally sworn into the service until May 13th. Colonel Mattes was a splendid sol dier and he knew his bu fines fiom A to 'A in that respect As a tactician and a drill mastei, well qunlllled to handle men, hp had few, if anv, su periors in the leglment. Personnlli. and when not on duty, he was the per honlficatlon of kindness and affabil ity to all, and was veil liked by the men, to whom he wns always a gocd f i lend. They regret to see him leno nnd would wish if he had remained with them to the end. Colonel Mattes leaves here amid the regrets and the best wishes of the men and of the olll cei s. An order of much Importance ha" just been promulgated for the benefit of the officeis nnd of the men of th" Thirteenth. A f-w evenings ngo the line and the staff officers held a meet ing and agreed to talk over the gen eral welfaie of the regiment, and agreed that It would be well to once more publish nnd emphasise certain matters which have been somewhat forgotten. The result of thch deliber ations was the drafting and the pub lication of the following order, which covers every point of impottanco in camp life; The commanding ofllcer of this reci ment. noting thu failure of many oltl ctrs and enlisted mon to enforce and obpy tho ordinary tamp regulations ana the geneial and special ordeiB u'.athg there, to, hereby directs attention of ollleers nrd men anew to tho following mles and 1 em ulations, declaring thereby th.it hucIi are orders, and failure on part of oflicors to respect and rigidly enfone them and on part of enlisted men to respect and obey tho same, will be classed ab dlsobidlanto of orders and summarily punished: THE DAILY SCHEDULE.

Extraordinary time was made by a special train on the Lehigh Valley rail road on Patuiday between Buffalo and Ithaca. The train was made up of a Black Diamond outfit and carried the members of the Buffalo inllroad asso ciation and their friends to the col lege city on their annual excursion. Tho run from BufTalo to Rochester Junction, 69 miles, was made In 57 minutes, and the llrM 103 miles were coveied in 102 minutes, including a Ave minute stop at Roehestr r Junction. The run to Ithaca, 103 miles, was made In two homs and if, minutes, includ ing one stop of five minutes and an other of seven minutes. The now stiaight lino of the Penn sylvania railroad fiom Lilly to Portage, in Cambria county, with Iti extension westward to the west of Flynn's Curve, as It Is now Is probably the greatest undn taking in railroad con struction over seen in this or any oth er country, and will when completed undoubtedly be tho most substantial piece of railroad in the woild. It is designed to replace the serpentina cuives of tho present road between the points named by a straight line. The amount of cubic ynrdb excavated between Lilly and Portage Is placed at 2,000.000. The shortening of the line between there two points Is said to be one mile and a half In five and one half. Tho saving In material will hence he equal to that of a Mngle track of six miles the wear of nils and rolling stock will be wonderfully diminished eventually the heavy westward grades, one above and one below Wllmore. will be done away with, and this pieco of lallioad will undoubtedly be the most substantial line of equal length In the world. This wotk wno begun two years and a half ago. Tate. "The dlo Is cast!" ho hissed. No Wonder ho was soro. lie had or dered It diop forgcd.-cinclnnatl Enquirer. - - 413.
