Bpaclal to tlio Seranton Tribune. Camp Meade. Mldilleton, Pn., Oct. 20. Since the time when the earth was deluged with rains, which lasted for forty days and forty nights, no sol diers ever pot a more thorough soak ing than those of the Second Army rorps, who had to do guard duty Tuesday night. It kept threatening all day, till at 7 o'clock In the eve ning, the wind rose to the propor tions of a miniature hurricane and oc nlonal drops of rain fell. At 10 o'clock these Increased In frequency, and from 12.30M11 4 yesterday morning every drop of water In the heavens pec-mod to fall. The sentry at No. 1 pot of the Thir teenth could not get within fifty feet of hU beat, and the other sentinel did the best they could by way of seeking shelter. So heavy was the storm that for a time no attempt could be made to post new sentries. Down the Incline be tween the guard house tents and Com pany U street, the water rushed In sheets, and was two inches In denth. The old wooden frame building, which was recently erected as a stockade for the prisoners, offered no protection whatsoever, livery chink win n high way for the tains, which flooded ev erything so much to that the prison ers burst the doors nnrt ran for shelter to the adjoining tents used by the guards. One of the officers" mess tents was flattened to the ground, anil the strong center pole of the Young Men's Chris- ! tlon association tent Mas snapped in two like a match, and the confusion was gieat in consequence. Uenches, ' tables and chairs were scattered around and broken. Several of the i boys, whose tents aie bad, had an in- I voluntary bath. Fortunately, It was pleasant yesterday and blankets and ' nil wearing apparel wore aired and dried. IMPORTANT OHDEHS. The most Important orders which have been published within the past month are those which have just been given out for publication by Major Surgeon Keller, of the Thirteenth. They refer to the ro-cstablIMiment of the regimental hospitals, that much abused institution, for the abolition of which several months ago at old Camp Alger, Colonel GIrord, chief surgeon of the corps, received such severe crit icism. The wisdom of having the reg imental hos:iitals revived seems to have at last impressed itself on the minds of the powers that be. The first order re-er-tabllshing the regimental hospitals was Issued nearly two weeks ago from the olllce of the chief sur geon of the United States army at Washington, D. f The second order comes fiom Major General Graham. It formally places the senior medical olllcer of each regi ment in charge of the regimental hos pital, and requires them to immediate ly proceed to the establishment of such hospitals, and to make the necessary requisition for supplies as well as for funds. We pay express both ways, i. e.: we pay when we send: if not suited, we pay when you send back. Studies in Black Judging by the demand across our counters and that's a safe way BLACK in dress fabrics is to emphasize this season, it's pop ularity of last Fall. Justly so. It has immense advantage of almost universal "becomingness", al most universal suitability, great servicability, and, as exemplified in this great collection, undoubted novelty and beauty. Perfect taste, quiet richness and tremendous effectiveness character ize black fabrics. Three fourths of ours are imported, and it is when colors is denied that the freshness and originality of French desierninc is best demonstrated. Novelty, novelty, a new effect, a new beauty In every piece you examine. More than three hundred pat terns in our showing: Smooth and Hough Crejions, Crupons with Iiajailcrc Stripe? Camels Hah' Sews, Smooth and Rongh Cheviots Granites, Bisons, Prices? Why from 50c to $5.00, with $1.50 as a fair average. Sam ples if you ask. Our Doiar Gove How much of glove making triumph in that one line, A spear pointed real kid skin glove, remark able for its easy and graceful fit, Importers don't understand it. Wilkes-Barre women appreciate such gloves for a dollar and we think Seranton women will too, for you may choose a certain well known brand at three fourths more to compare them with.

We are pleased to be DISPENSERS OF INFORMATION. (JijS ISAAC LONG, 73 ud 76 1'nullo Square, W1&K12J.UAUUK, X'. ,fu This order will work a complete nnd radical change In the methods of car ing for tho sick, ni present the regi ment have what Is known as it regi mental hospital or dispensary, In which light cases of sickness uie treat ed, and lu which patients, who arc suffering from any serious complaint, are. kept for twenty-four hours before being taken to Division hospital. This arrangement had many drawbacks, and wus never popular os most of the patients from the Division hospit als can testify.

Six ty cents per day will be allowed for each patient, and will be used for pro curing delicacies for the patients. m:gimi:ntai. hospital..
