mirable one. Little light could bo
thrown upon tho new order by the em

However, It was stated that tho new

LATER THAN 2 P. M.
Last Night in Camp Wns a Memor
nble One That Will Not Be Soon
Forgotten by the Members of tho
Thirteenth Many Evidences of
Good Will on the Part of tho Peo
ple of Augusta and the Mcmbeis
of tiio Other Regiments Meeting
of the Receplton Committee.
Today the Thirteenth leglinent will
break camp nt Augusta, Ga., after be
ing discharged from the United States
volunteer army, nnd will start North.
Tho leclmcnt left Scranton on April
27 last, and will arrlvo hero some time
Sunday night. If schedule time Is made
the regiment will arrlvo heie about 0
o'clock, but in nil probability It will bo
seveial houis Inter before It reaches
here. The following dispatch was le
celved last night by Tho Tribune from
its correspondent nt Camp MncKenz'e:
"There will be little sleep tonight and
tomorrow reveille will be sounded nt
G o'clock In the morning. Camp is prac
tically broken, nnd only enough tents
are left to cover the men for the night.
Everything will be cleared at S o'clock
and shortly atter 9 the three paymas
ters will begin their work. The regi
ment will be paid about noon, and not
later than 2 o'clock all will be moving.
"There will be three sections. Head
quarters, tho band and Companies It
and It will compose the llrst section:
companies C, D and O, the second sec
tion, and Companies K, r and A, the
third section. The boy feel as ithough
they were cutting themselves nwnv
fiom homo nnd old-time friends. They
will not soon forget the kindnesses ami
the hospltablllty nt the people ot
Augusta.
mim:s nnMnMBERED
"This evening the membeis of the
band presented a beautiful baton to
Chief Musician T. 11. Miles. It Is of
tho finest ebony nnd tirfped with sil
ver and beais tho Inscription 'Pre
s:nted to T. II. Miles, Chief Musician,
by the Members of the Thirteenth Reg
iment Hand.' Musician Sitnrell made
the presentation speech. Many of the
boys were present at tho Interesting
ceremony. Shoilff O'Connor, of this
county, is holding a special farewell
reception this evcnli.g for several mem-
bcis of the regiment.
"One truth Is being emphasized
again In camp this evening and that
It that the Thirteenth Is tho keystono
of the good will and the kindly feel
ings which exists here among tho
troops of the Second army corps.
Shortly after supper tho Tenth Ohio
band, followed by practically every
member of that leglinent, left their
camp and proceeded to the Thir
teenth's, where they were received with
open arms and an enthusiasm which
was appreciated. The fever was con
tagious and the men of the Thirty
Fifth Michigan could not withstand
the temptation to Join in the celebra
tion. Thev left their camp on a run
and joined the Ohloans. As both regi
ments passed through the Thirteenth
the boys turned out In force.
"The visitors repeatedly gave thieo
ringing cheers for the Thirteenth nnd
wished It a fond farewell. They then
matched to tho lines of the Fifteenth
Minnesota, through which no bodies
of holdlers had been allowed to pass
since the trouble of a few weeks ago,
but tonight In honor of tho occasion,
this rule did not hold. The Minne
sotlans then joined the others nnd In
a few minutes returned, shouting for
the Pennsylvnnlnns and singing their
praises as soldiers and companions.
HIGH OLD TIME.
"Pandemonium reigned supreme and
deafening cheers were given again and
again for the soldiers of the old Ke
stone stnte. The boys responded In
like manner and many ot them mount-,
ed upon the mess halls In delitlum of
their delight till they could be heard
In the peaceful Fountain City. The
boys aro all In good nealtli, well be
haved and In excellent splilts. They
nre happy beyond the power of words
to explain and universal good will pre
vails." The dlffeient sections ot the Thir
teenth's tialn will travel over two
mutes until Washington Is reached and
from that point all will use the Penn
sylvania tracks. At Harrlsburg the re
ception committee from Scranton, con
sisting of F. M. Vandllng, Dolph Ather

tlmo It leaves camp until It anivcs In
this city. Today and tomorrow bulle

It Is not known at this time whether

SHANNON IS VERY LOW.
His Life Hangs in the Balance.
Was Visited by a "Pal" Yester
dayStill Claims He Is
from Shamokin.
John Shannon, the wounded burglar,
who Is at the Lackawanna hospital,
may be dead before this Is read, as nt
3 o'clock this morning he was just allvo
and was being closely attended. He
spent a restless day yesterday, his
wound giving much pain and nt tlmoi
there were tiaces of blood In his saliva.
Ho talked but little, though visited by
several persons more or less Interest
ed In his cae.
He still persists that he belongs In
Shamokin, though Warden Detrlck, of
the Xoith'imbeiland county Jail, -who
was hero yestcidny on business, stated
that Shannon had been his uuest once
for thlity days, being committed on a.
charge of vagrancy. Thursday'" Sha
mokin Dlspitch, in referring to tho
shooting, fcnH that the several families
of Shannon lesidlntr there had no mem
ber away, and to far as they knew no
relative of thelis would answer tho
wounded man's description,
Yesteiday was vlsltois' day nt tho
hospital and Shannon had two, a young
man and n young woman. Tho former
strongly Indicated by his actions that
ho know tho Injuied man. He only
remained about three minutes, but dur
ing that time asked two questions that
seemed pei tlnent. "How do you feel?"
and "Do vou know tin county ds
teetlvc nt Is'orthumbeiland?" Tho men
whispered together, but Shannon would
only tell the nbove mentioned ques
tions. The visit was mado about 215
o'clock. The fellow answeis very well
the description of Bcnnlngcr, his "pal"
on Tuesday morning, given in the Tri
bune Thuisday morning, except that
there was evidently nn attempt at dis
guise in the clothing and ho wore a
derby hat of old style, yet apparent
ly new. He would watch furtively
every person who camo near him.
The young woman, who refused to
give her name, Fald she lesided here,
but had relatives of the name of Shan
non In Shamokin and new many rela
tives there. She simply glanced at the
patient and then went away saying
"it Isn't him."
Chief of Police Gurrell and Sergeant
Charles Rldgeway called at the hospi
tal last night about 8 o'clock, but the
ofllclals deemed It advisable not to al
low anyone to see Shannon, owing to
the change which had set In about I
p. m. for the worse.

AMENDMENTS TO
THE CITY CHARTER
SYNOPSIS or THE BILL NOW BE
FORE THE LEGISLATURE.
Provides That a Mayor Can Suspend
a Police Ofllcer for Thirty Days
Without Pay at His Own Dlscie
tlou Without Consulting Select
Council In Making Foot-Fiont
Assessments Equitable Allowances
Can Be Made for Inegular-Shaped
Lots Other Changes.
The nt't now befoie the leglslatuie at
Htirilsbuis nmendlng the Act ot 1SS9,
governing third-class cities, will, If
adopted, straighten out the many
snarls which now cause bolher to
municipal legislators.
Section 2 Is amended so that general
appropi latlon bills nre excepted from
the bills that can nut have more than
ono subject expressed In Us title.
Section (5 Is amended by adding a
provision that all sales of personal
property owned by tho city shall be to
tho highest lespoiislble bidder.
Clause 10 of Section 3, providing for
grading and paving, Is nmended hv
making It confonn to the Act of 1805 In
changing the vote necessary to order
the work with petition from the prop
erty holders from two-thirds to three
fouiths nnd by also adding the follow
ing clause: "Provided, however, that
In assessments according to foot front
rule, councils may piovide for an equit
able reduction, not exceeding one-third,
from the frontngo of lots at streets
and other Intersections where from
their peculiar or pointed shnpe, an ns
sessment for tho full frontage would
be Inequitable.
Clause 13 of the same section nt pres
ent reads: "No two persons from tho
same ward shall serve on any board
nt tho same time." It Is proposed to
change It to rend: "No two persons
from tho same ward shall serve on the
ame bonid nt the same time."
FOR W1LLIAMSPORT.
Clause 33. dealing with a city's power
to legulato water couises, is to bo en
larged so that the city can have power
to piocecd nt law or In equity to re
move encroachments on streams pass
ing through or along the boundaries of
a eltv, when said encroachments
threaten Injury to the city. This clause
Is puitieular for tho benefit of Wlll
lamspoi t. Thnt city wants authority to
go beyond the city limits and regulate
the building of log dams so as to pre
vent the Hoods which now so frequently
cause trouble theie.
An amendment Is proposed to Sec
tion 11, which will do awny with an
ambiguous clause that has caused no
end of bother all over the state. It
lefers to Joint conventions of councils.
Tho clause at piesent reads: "A mn
Joi Ity of each branch shall be neces
sary to tho decision of any question."
It is proposed to change It to read:
"The votes of a majoiity of THOSE
PRESENT ot each branch In Its favor
shall be necessuiy to tho adoption of
any motion or resolution."
Section 1 of Article 7, pertaining to
the duties and powers of the mayor,
contains a clause which reads: "He
shall have authority upon occasions of
threatened public disorder to lequlro
and enforce the closing up of bais or
any establishments In which liquors
aro sold." It Is proposed to change it
to read- "To lequlro nnd enforce the
closing up of bars and to suspend In
all places the sale of liquors." The
purpose in this is to limit the author
ity of the mayor so that he can only
close up the barroom of a hotel and not
the whole hotel.
POLICE APPOINTMENTS
Section 4 of the same act prescrib
ing the manner of appointing police
officers Is enlarged by the new act by
the Inseitlon of the following "And
(tho mayor) may In his discretion
(without the advice or consent of select
council) suspend any policeman for a
period, not oxcoedlng thirty days with
out pay. Policemen shall serve during
good behavior or until suspended or
dismissed, ns provided by this act,"
(by und with the advice and consent
of select council).
It also empowers tho mayor to np
polnt substitutes for a period not ex
ceeding ten days. A clause Is also
added empowering the mayor to depose
the chief of police at any time and
designate another to fill his place.
This power is not expressed in tho
original act.
In section R, where It reads. "It shall
by the duty of the controller to ceitlfy
contracts for the payment of which
sufficient appropriations have been
made," tho new net makes this addition-
"Provided, however, that this
section shall not apply to contracts for
public lmpiovements, heretofore or
hereafter made, the cost of which has
been or shall be assessed In whole or
In part upon the propeitles abutting
or benefitted, except as to that part of
the cost of such Improvements as Is
or has been directed to be paid out
of an nppropi latlon from the city
treasury." This protects the controller
and his uretlcs from being charged
with assessments thnt property hold
ers may default In. making the con-

MATTER OF ASSESSMENTS
In section 10 ot article IS, dealing
with the levying and collection of Im
provement nHsessnients tho pennltv Is
made to apply to all assessments thnt
may be tho subject of claim entered
In pursuance of "this or nny oilier net,"
Instead of simply "this net."
In "ccllnn S2 of the snine article the
law now provides thnt action for re
covery of these assessments shall be
"similar to the proceedings In tho case
of mechanics liens " The amendment
provides that the recovery shall be
"according to the practice nnd pro
ceedings preset ibed hv law for tho col
lection of municipal claims and liens."
The substitution of "this or any other
net" for "this uct' Is also made In
this section,
Section 31 of this same nitlcle.vvhero
In Ih prescribed tho manner of serving
notice ot impiovement assessments,
now directs thnt the notice shall bo
published In one or more dally news
papers for at least thrco consecutive
days. The amendment ndds a provis
ion that In cuso tho oillclal paper of
