THE SCI ANTON TltlBUNE-SATURDAY. OCTOBER 15. 1898.
THEY ARE DOING
SOME SPECULATING
iWHO WILL BE LIEUTENANT
COLONEL OF THIRTEENTHP
Fears Arc Expressed That a Regular
Army Officer Will Be Assigned to
the Position Captain Kobling, of
Company C, Is Acting Major und
Major Stlllwell Is Acting Lieuten
ant Colonel Sorno of the Latu
Gossip of tho Camp.
Special to tho Scranton Tribune.
Camp Moade, Mlddletnwn, Pa., Oct.
H, With the resignation of lieutenant
Colonel C. C. Mattes, speculation natur
ally turns to tho question "Who will
occupy tho place vacated by him?"
At present the answer to this la neccs
saillj unsatisfactory In as far as It
Is so uncertain In Its speculatlveness
that It Is not possible to nnlvc at a
(UOlilte conclusion. It Is the unex
pected which always happens, and In
fils respect the volunteer army Is no
cxeepllon.
The position of lieutenant colonel li,
of course, a much coveted one, and
It Is not to be wondered at that ioiiu'
of the ofllccr.s of the leglmenr are de
K'rous of flllliiB It, and that tho rank
nnd llle would prefer to sec It happen
no. However, It Is known that, un
der tliu rcKUlatlons ce earning tho vol
unteer nrmy the Kencral rfoeinimeiit
limy All ono staff position In each res
lment with an olllcer of the regular
United States nimy, nnd rumors are
not unntltiK to the effect that this will
be the care with the lieutenant colonel
enev of the Thirteenth. There are
many otllcer.s tlfjht on the ground who
t.pi e'lklcnt and c.ip.ihlu of dlseharg
luK all the duties of that position,
nnd the teglmcnt would lose nothing
of Its present prestige by having any
one of them so near Its head; lint It
remains to be seen If the choice will
tome from within the leglmcnt Itself.
STILIAVELT.. IS IN IINK.
If things were to take tho usual nnd
natural course. Jlajor V. W. Stlllwell,
ot the First battalion, would became
ileutenant colonel, and his old position
would In all probability be filled by
Captain Frank Itobing, of Company
C. Whether Captain Hobllng would,
however, nicept the position, Is not
known definitely, nnd It will be re
membered that his loyalty to his com
pany nne' his deep Interest In Its wel
fare did not permit him several months
ugo when the leglment wns nbout to
enter the United States service to de
hort his command een for the higher
honors of mnjorshlp. Ills company
v.ns then mostly composed of recruits
and the odlcers newly elected, and
now, though every man In his com
pany would grieve to see him leave
them nnd to bo no longer nble to ad
diess him by tho familiar name of
Ocplnln they aie not sn bclflsh as to
wish Mm to refuse tho position of
major a second time Just for their
sr.ke. These are some of the possible,
and. rorlinps, probable, chnnges which
may take place Inside of a few days.
If the regiment be not then joined by
Adjutant L. T. Mattes and by Quarter
master II. H. Cox, those two positions
would not unlikely become vacant,
leaving Acting Adjutant David J. Da
vis and Acting Quartermaster Walter
K. Gunster as tho logical candidates,
so to speak, for tho respective posi
tions which they nre now filling with
so much efficiency and credit to their
own abilities. One thing Is certain
there are changes In the nlr, and pro
motions for some olllceis and members
of the Thirteenth nre not far distant.
Who the lucky ones will be time alone
can tell.
ItUNAWAYS RETURN.
This afternoon Sergeant I.ona B. Day
nnd detail of four men returned to
camp nnd brought with them eight
prisoners who were swooped down up
on in Scranton. Several of tho boys,
who were either home or on the way
thither, fled from the day of wrath,
nnd, instead of waiting to be arrested,
hid till they got n favorable opportun
ity to get out of town, and then headed
for camp at a rate of speed which as
tonished even themselves. In this re
spect they showed no small amount ot
common sense and of business tact.
Having been away for only a few days
nnd returning apparently contrite nnd
of their own free will, they received
light sentences; but thoso offenders
who were arrested will not get off bo
easily, and, besides their lines, will
have to pay for the expenses and trav
eling of tho detail of four men nnd ser
geant to and from Scranton. There nre
some, of course, whose previous records
In this respect are bad, and who, there
fore, will receive an exemplary punish
ment. There nre not a few of the less
hardened runaways In tho First bat
talion who are now thanking their
lucky stars that, on their return, they
found Captain Robllng the acting
major. The captain believes that "the
quality ot mercy is not strained," nnd
always tempers Justice with a liberal
r-hare of that finer, higher vhtue.
This fact, however, will not tave some
of the men from their due abate ot
punishment and these ate the hard
ened offenders who always take a mile
when they are given an Inch.
I3AND HONORRD.
The popularity of the Thirteenth's
band has been demonstrated once more.
Tho proprietor of tho Hotel National,
lit HummcUtowii, Invited them out
there last night to give an open-air
concert and to partnke of his hospital
ity. Ho sent a large band-wugon to
camp for them, and they left fiom here
at C.30 o'clock, being accompanied by
some of the officers and as many of
the men as could obtain passes. A
very elaborate progrumme was pre
pared and rendered In front of the
hotel. Tho people of the town turned
out in a body, and were delighted with
the feast of melody which they had the
opportunity of enjoying. The band re
turned late at night, speaking nothing
but pralso of tho hospitality of the
people of Hummelstown. They received
very cordial tieatment which there a
verdict with which every member of
the Thirteenth, who visits that place,
has ronton to fully agree. There Is
nothing too good In HummelHtown for
the Pennsylvania soldiers.
Those members of the Scranton High
school who nre now wearing the blue
of Uncle Sam In the Thirteenth, have
been very generously remembered by
their friends and classmates at home.
There nre eight pupils of that Instltu
tlon now In camp here Corporal Ed
ward Frear, of C: Corporals Richard
Kelly and Charles Geary, of D; Pri
vates Rowland Rice and J. Donald
Hull, of A, and Corporals Charles
Wrjgley and Oliver P. Williams, and
rrl'ato Fred Moser, of F. The girls
of the high school recently sent them
a 1511-pound box of the choicest cat-"
frbleuVthe boys of tho school paying
tho expressnge. It Is needles? to say
that their classmates hero appreciate
their klndnFA keenly, nnd also en
Joyed the contents of the box as only
hungry soldiers can.

A STRANGE ROMANCE.
Husband nnd Wife Itounited After a
Separation of Nearly Forty Years.
In 1S."8 Samuel Gnssaway, of IHooms
burg, was married and when tho war
broke out he enlisted In Company II,
Forty-second Pennsylvania volunteers.
Since then he did not see his wife until
the other day, when they were re
unltd. In the meantime each, believ
ing the other dead, had married, tho
spouse of each had died nnd then al
most by chance they mot again a few
days ago.
Gassaway was seveiely wounded in
one of the first battles and for months
lay between life nnd death nnd unnble
to send word to his wife. He had been
leported killed and his wife moved
from Bloomsburg to Wllllamsport In
order to make a living for herself. Re
turning to nioomsburg when discharged
from the hospital, GasFaway found his
wife gone and, despite a protracted
search, could get no trace of her. Ho
then moved to Van Weit, Ohio, whero
he mnirled nnd had six children. The
children all died In childhood and his
wife dying a short time ago, he came
east after living theie thirty years.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Gassaway had In
1SE8 married Jesse Headlngton, of Cata
wlssa, who committed suicide In 189.".
Then Mrs. Gnssaway Headlngton went
to Wllkes-Rarrc and lived there until
a few months ago, when she returned
to Uloomsburg. She had been located
there only a couple of months when
Gassaway returned from Ohio, and was
much surprised to learn that his wife
was still nllve. He went to call on her;
she did not recognize him and he Intro
duced himself ns u relative. They had
a long talk and when ho finally told
who he was, she became very Indig
nant and turned him out of the house.
It was not until several friends Iden
tified him that she was convinced, and
now, after nearly forty years' separ
ation, they are leunlted.

Camp Meade. Mlddletown, Pa., Oct.
14. The men In the Two Hundred nnd
First New York regiment nro In a state
of seml-mutlny nnd threaten trouble If
they nre not given better treatment.
They complain that they nre not prop
el ly fed and that they were given noth
ing for dinner ycsteulay but meat and
coffee. The men have had no bread
for twenty-four hours, bee'ause there Is
nobody In tho regiment who knows how
to use the Held ovens, and the chief
commissary officers Insist that each
regiment must bake the bread for Its
own men. The New Yorkers have not
been paid since they eached here, the
officers being ufrald they will take
"French leave" and go home to visit
their friends.
A battalion from every regiment In

uied permission from tho war depart

his pleasure. Ho Is afraid of yellow
fever, and will keep his troops In the

weather.
The engineer nnd signal corps and
the Ninth Ohio colored battullon will
also take part In the Jubilee. General
Giaham will also attend with his staff
and expects to have every division, bri

on the evening of Oct. 25 nnd return to
camp two days later, after which the
movement south will begin. Twenty
four sick were shipped today from the
division hospital to Philadelphia.
PPLICATIONS RErUSKD.
There was greut disappointment to
day when a big batch of applleatlons
for honorable discharges from the ser
vice came back from the war depart
ment marked: "Rejected by order of
secretaiy of war." All these applica
tions weie endorsed by regimental
commanders and a majority of the ap
plicants were either college students
desiring to return to their studies or
men of family. No further reason for
the refusal of these applications were
vouchsafed, and It looks as though the
government Intended shutting off dis
charges except for the best of reasons.
When Colonel Kreps, of the Fifteenth
Pennsylvania, returns from a leave of

have been doing a good business send
ing llnsks of whiskey, etc., Into the
regimental enmps, consigning them to
trusted agents, to whom they allow a
llbeial commission on nil sales. It is
thought that tho Second Tennessee
men nrrested last night obtained their
whiskey in this manner and an inves
tigation of this Illegal practice is be
ing made. Men have been seen going
Into the camps with suspicious-looking

STRUCK THE GUARD.
Much excitement was created in
Harrlsburg today between a provost
cuard of the Two Hundred and Second
New York regiment nnd a soldier who
was asked to bhow his pass. The sol
dier who was accompanied bv a civ
ilian, when asked for his pass, struck
the provost. The men moved on, but
weie toon halted again by the guard,
vho demanded the soldier to aecom
I any him to the guard house. Th. nl

time. A lnrg? crcwd soon gathered
and the trouble was quelled by two

EXPENSIVE MINE EIRES.
They Are tho Bane of the Llfo of tho
Coal Operator.
The fire at the Itavlno mine In Pitts
ton has called attention to the many
expensive mine fires that have occunad
in this part of Pennsylvania.
Ono of the most stubborn and most
expensive mine llres thnt ever occurred
In this region Is that In tho Conyng
ham mine of the Delaware nnd Hudson
In North Wllkes-Rarte. A flro wni
discovered there July IS, 1SD1. but It
existed for months before It was dis
covered. There had previously been
nn explosion of gas and thnt part of
tho mine was Hooded and the water
' was being pumped out. To the sur
prise of every ono another explosion
occurred, showing that there was st'll
Are In the mine. Tho work of pump
ing out the water was at once stopped
nnd the mine was nraln filled with
water, It reaching to a height of GIG
feet vertically up tho shaft. Then, as
a further means of pieeautlon to In
sure tho extinguishing of tho fire, the
mine was sealed. Tho adjoining col
liery in tho Hollenback, owned by the
Lehigh nnd Wllkes-Rarro Coal com
pany. At the close of 1MI the Lehigh and
Wilkes-IJarre applied for an Injunction,
alleging thnt the barrier pillar of eigh
ty feet between the Conyngham and
Hollenbnik wns not of sutllclent thick
ness to keep thnt Immense body of
water from breaking Into the Hollen
back. Test bore holes were put through
and the bores went In 90, 125 and 151
feet. Hither tho barrier pillar was
thicker than supposed or the drills
were spent by their own weight In
going through nnd did not give an ac
curate measurement. The Injunction
was not granted. Tho Delnware and
Hudson left tho water stand until
about ono anel a half years ago and
then pumped It out again, which took
about a year.
Last wintei the workmen again no
ticed that the air wns hotter than It
should bo nnd every Indication pointed
to tho fact that the fire had not yet
be -n extinguished, after these ytais of
Hooding. Severn! examinations were
made and the nlr current wns watched
and the existence of combustion In the
caved world r,gs was shown. The Hood
ing had left the mine In a deplorable
condition, many poittons being caved.
Mine ofliclals decided to again flood
the mine. This was done but it will be
some time before work can be resumed.
Thousands upon thousnnds of dollars
have nlrcady been expended In efforts
to extinguish this flic.
ABOUT CIQAIl BOXES.
Spanish Cedar Is the Best Wood, But
it Comes from Cuba.
From tho Washington Star.
"There aie something like 14,000,000
cigar boxes used In the United States
annually, and about nine-tenths of that
number are made In this city, whero
the trade rivals the clothing Industry
In point ot capital Invested, and the
number of people employed," said a
leading cigar box manufacturer In New
York to tho writer yesterday. "The
material out of which the best boxes
are made comes pilnelpnlly from Cuba,
and Is known us Spanish cedar. The
recent war with Spain has shortened
the supply nnd lnci eased the price of
the article to such an extent that many
box makers whose stock of cedar was
small early last spring have been com
pelled to use a cheaper and less desir
able grade of wood for the purpose.
"One New York firm has been expert-'
mentlng with timber from the unex
plored Paraguayan forests, which are
?ald to contain the finest cedar wood
In M10 world. They have, however, ex
perienced considerable dlfllculty In sell
ing their boxes, ns cigar manufactur
ers and connoisseurs Insist that It spoils
a fine cigar to put It In any box not
made of genuine Spanish cedar. The
latter wood always retains the flavor
of a good cigar. Indeed, some people
claim that It Improves the flavor. The
jeason given is that It grows In the
same localities as the best Havana to
bacco. "Attempts made to use cedar grown
In tho United States for cigar boxes
have not been very successful. Tho
Florida and South American cedar con
tains a peculiar gum that melts when
the wool is exposed to the heat of a
More or house, and thus the labels and
sometimes the cigars In a box are
bpollt. Of course, the smokers of
cheaper brands of cigars are les3 par
ticular about the quality of the wood
used for their boxes, and a veneered
cedar, made from a peculiar sort of
cedar that grows In Mexico, Is often
substituted for the Spanish article. But
It cannot be done without the cigar
dealers finding It out, and the conse
quence Is that even a good cigar when
packed In such a box sells at a disad
vantage. CLARK'S GREEN.
