Privatcs James ID. Slade and Frank
llosslebach were appointed respectively
seventh and eighth corporals. Sir. Hos
slebach is 4 veteran and ono of the best
members Co. G has. lie is one WHO is
always OH hand when wanted and is u
reliable soldier. In the words of Colonel
Good, Mr. Hosslebach was the best guand
lac ever had around his headquarters. The
promotion is deserved one and gives !
entire satisfaction to all members Of the |
After drill an adjourned business meet
ing was Eeld. Several members made !:
speeches in regard to the trip to Yorktown !;
and the sentiments they expressed exactly !
agreed with those OF every individual !
member. i
Judging from present appearances Go. |
& viii! not 90 to Yorktown. Why? Be |
cause they refuse to pay their expenses to
Philadelphia and return. Let us look /
over the matter as it appears to Column
bians. $4,000 was appropriated to pay !
the expenses of the fourteen hundred men !
to represent the National Guard |
of Pennsylvania at Yorktown. Finding that |
that amount was Insufficient, the number ,
of men was cut down to seven hundred, !
with So 900 to pay their expenses. Now
ut headquarters they want to say that this !
amount of money is not enough to pay for !
the transportation of the troops to i'hila !
de!phia and return. We say ii is. and can .
prove it. The boats to take the n. G. T. /
to Yorktown will cost in the neigh5orhood |
Of 81 1000, rations not over $4,000, and |
$1,000 is left to transport the troops to |
Philadelphia and return. If the state does !
not pay that transportation what will be- !
come of Tie $4,000? A few words will tell |
it. The country troops, or those who have |
the pluck, will not pay their transportation |!
to Philadelphia. eve use this as an in
stanc taking it for granted that they will
not). All the Philadelphia troops will then
be detailed, and the $1,000 which should
pay the transportation will go to the Off
GERS. Won't they live off the fat of the
land: How the champagne will fly! Go. |
G will not go if they have to pay their ex-
penses, and VIC admire them for it, as do
all Columbiaus. Capt. Case went to Har- |
Iisburg to inquire into the matter, and will |
return this evening. We will then know
whether our military company will go OF
not.
I;emanded to Prison.
