In These Coses, However, the Men

from tho Cold.
Epclal to the Scrnnton Tribune,
Camv Meade, Mldilletown, Pn Oct.
17. The question of discharges from
the service suggests ItHelf In this con
metion, and It may bo snld that if
the experience of tho pact Is taken
Into consideration, there will be many
disappointments. Several applications
of members of the Thirteenth have
been promptly returned "unapproved."
These, however, were cases of men who
are Indebted to the government by
reason of their not having yet paid
In full the fines which ere Imposed
on them some time ago by court mar
tial for having been absent from camp
without leave, and other such offences.
As to the married men who nslted to
bo discharged on nccount of dependent
wives, children or aged parents notli-
OF OURSELVES.
We wish you to know thut
wc do the largest visk DRY
GOODS business in Northeast
ern Pennsylvania.
We wish you to know this,
not by way of brag ; but,
because it means something
to you.
It means this : The big
gest business, the greatest
power ; the greatest power,
the firmest control of the
markets; the firmest control,
the best goods aud lowest
prices. A reasonable con
clusion (while this is not a
"cheap" store) it is the best
store lor the economically
minded purchaser. We are
aware that all this interests
you only as it affects your
purchasing power aud price
economics; aud these are the
matters which we wish you
to test.
And we wish you to know
that we are our own im
porters, having an office in
Paris, which is in close touch
with the designers and pro
ducers of foreign apparel and
fabrics. This makes our
store worth visiting.
Fifteen daily trains on the
D. & H. R. R. and C. R. R.
of N.J. all reaching Wilkes
Barre, before the close of
business, make a visit au
easy possibility.
If you are in Wilkes-Barre
you will come here. If You
can't come, you can write.
Write us especially about
your needs in SILKS, DRESS
Goods, Silk waists.Wraps,
Costumks, Trimmings, Lac
es, Embroideries, Handker
chiefs, Carpets, and Drap
eries, we are Dispensers of
Information in these lines.
OF OUR SUIT EXPOSITION.
It is not only a mercantile
enterprise, but it is a demon
stration of power of beauty,
excellence, style and ex
clusiveuess. Many visitors
have come aud gone,
and few have gone without
first leaving au order for a
copy of au imported model or
leaving their address for the
sending of one of the many
dress ideas of foreign or do
mestic production. The con
sensus of opinion is unanim
ous, and unanimously favor
able. Aud why not? Our
showing is greater than ever
before. Greater because of
the reception given by the
women of Wilkes-Barre (and
many from Scrautou, too) to
our importations of the past
two years, thus prompting us
to double our imports this
Fall. But not all are foreign
ideas. The best of leading
New York houses are usiug
our Suit Department as dis
play room for their cleverest
products.
Will you be our guest, or
will you write us ? We are
ready for you and WRi.i
READY. In either case we
can entertain you; cither
with our show, or with a full
description ot your designated
want.

Ins has been heard bo far. but It Is
well known that Major General
Young, of the First Division, Is In
clined to disapprove of every such ap
plication, and, as u. matter of fact,
has done ho.
The Flfteotith Minnesota, the Fourth
Missouri, the Tenth Ohio, the First
Maryland and the Eighth Pennsyl
vania made application for discharge
by the wholesale, and they came back
disapproved and refused by the whole
sale. In one regiment out ot nearly
four hundred such applicants, only four
or five were discharged. These figures
and the delny are responsible for some
worrlment among the married men of
the Thirteenth who wish to go home.
They fear that they will meet the same
fate ns the others. The war depart
ment evidently does not desire to throw
the gates wide open, and In this reso
lution It was strengthened by the no
tion of the division and tho corps
commanders. In the Thirteenth it
may be said, as a rule, that no one
has thus far asked to be discharged,
except the married men und those who
have very valid excuses.
CAUSING ANNOYANCE.
Evidently the question of discharg
ing men from the service has been
brought forcibly home to the authori
ties nt Washington, and In a manner
which Is not appreciated. The follow
ing pointed message from the corps
commander fully explains the situa
tion as It stands:
Headquarters Second Army Corps. Camp
(Jcorgi G. Meade, I'a.. Oct. 13, H'JS.
General Orders No. 111.
The corp. commander has been In
formed that the war department l seri
ously embnrrussed by persons belonslng to
this command who proceed to Washing
ton to seek their discharge from the ser
vice. Hereafter no person belonging to
this command will bo allowed to go to
the city of Washington; and, If further
complaints are iccelved the privilege of
leaves of absence and of furloughs will
be entirely withdrawn.
Hy command of Major Gencrnl Graham.
'.irl Kulchmun. Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral. It Is not known who the offender"!
are In this respect, hut It Is probuble
that many of them belongto the Penn
sylvania regiments.
As an Indication of how cold It Is
becoming here, when guard was
mounted yesterday morning the men
were ordered to wear their heavy army
overcoats. Tho sale of oil stoves too,
has reached such proportions, that
nearly every tent In the Thirteenth
Is supplied with what Is called by tho
boys a single or double-barreled oil
stove. They are now a necessity, for
the rains have been followed by cold
winds, which are piercing, nnd several
times during the early morning thero
were strong suspicions of a frost. It
may be said that the men are now
reaching the limit and with present
accommodations and shelter cannot
stand very much more of this kind of
weather.
SUrFGIt FROM COLD.
The chief trouble comes at night
when taps are sounded. It Is usually
cold enough to make one's teeth fair
ly chatter and complaints nre frequent
ly heard that it is barely possible to
sleep. Yesterday a chilling north
western wind kept the boys on tho
move. To stand still was to freeze and
blue faces and hands were as plenty
as blue coats this morning. The pros
pects of an early move to a more con
genial climate alone sustains the boys
under present circumstances. The pre
sent temperature will undoubtedly kill
fever germs, but unfortunately It may
Jiot stop at that.
Last night there was a positive suf
fering among the men here In camp.
The wind changed around to the north
and blew a steady gale which grew
colder and colder till bed time, when
those who had no oil stoves In their
tent were compelled to don extra suits
of underwear nnd socks, besides still
keeping on their regimentals. Every
body wants to move, and then men
who six weeks ago, were most anxious
to exchange Virginia for Pennsylvania,
are now desirous of quitting this ul-tra-germ-destroylng
place for a wann
er, pleubanter climate.
An order, which refers to the peace
jubilee, a subject which has been dis
cussed again and again, has been re
ceived. It was practically settled af
ter the review which was held here
over a week ago, thnt this corps would
bo represented at Philadelphia on the
27th of this month. The order as pub
lished reads:
THK OFFICIAL OUDKU.
Headquarter First Division Second
Army Corps, Camp George J. Meade,
Pa.. Oct. 11. ItfW.
Commanding General Third Brigade.
Sir: The major general commanding tne
rillon directs me to Inform you that one
battalion from each regiment of your
command will be sent to Philadelphia,
Pa., to take part In the peace jubilee on
the 27th Inst. He diiects that you have
regimental commanders relict the battal
ion that Is to atur.d. which should com
slht of lour companies. Uach company
should have a front of twenty-four Hies,
exclusive of the guides, double rank for
mation. There should also be some spare
men in tho line of Hie closers. In cas
anv of the companies are unable to tin ri
out with thut strength other men will
bo attached to complete the complement.
The details with qulpmonits will be
given later. ICuiy notice Is thus pi ion
that battalions selected muy be properly
oiganizcd and prepared.
Ver respectful,
F. S, Strong, Assistant Ad1uian (Sencral.
At this writing the battalion which
will represent the Thirteenth at the
Interesting ceremonies has not bi-n
selected. This nattu)- whbh is ytill
niither complicated by the illnegs of
Major Stllliwll and the absence of
Major "Wood, will likely be cleared up
In a few days. Colonel Corn-sen in 111
soon announce his choice.
fhe tenor uf this order owes us an
absolute surprise. It wns all .ilom;
expected that the regiment would so
In a body, and thence proceed to om
point jiouth of the Mason and Dixon
line. Now. however, it looks us If the
battalion which will bo selected to go
will have to return here.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
I Pennsylvania Railroad company has
awarded a contract for the bulldlnz of
CM cars to tho Jackson & Woodln com
pany, of Uerwlck.
When tho Lehigh Valley railroaders
I were paid at Hnzleton laBt week they
draw more wages than they havo re
ceived during any previous month of the
i year, duo to tho fuct that the shipments
of coal from the Ilnzletnn region during
tho last month were unprecedented.
Jacob W. Luttlg. superintendent of tele
, graph and signals of the Lehigh Valley
railroad, has resigned his position. Tho
resignation, which was purely volun
, tary on the part of Mr. Lattlg, was pre
sented to tho proper ofllclals of the trunk
lino about a week ago. It has been ac
cepted, Mr. Iittlg will go to Cuba and
engage In coffeo raising.
The rjaltlmoro nnd Ohio railroad Is ex
perimenting with nn Sl.OOO-pound coal ear
between Cumberland and naltlmore
where the heavy movement of coal will
Justify tin Increufp In the capacity of
tho cars. The present cars now In use
have 60 per cent, greater capacity than
those used three years ago, but with the
changes In tho line and the relaying of
the track with nil-pound steel and tho
erection of modern steel btldaes the re
ceivers believe It possible to Increase thn
enr capacity to 80,000 pounds. Plans are
nlso being made nt the Mount Clare lo
comotive shop for locomotives to weigh
between Ho.OOn nnd 230,000 pounds, the
cylinders to Ik? 23x30 Inches, and the rest
of the engine In proportion. If this en
gine Is built It will be used on the heavy
grades between Cumberland and Grafton.
