PLAN OF CAMP AT MT. GRETNA,

them home. Captain Geppart was in charge
of the company and keenly feels his po-
sitlon.
Colonel Smith, of the Third Philadelphia
Regiment, received letter from ex-Gov-
ernor Pattison to-day, in which the latter
says he will probably be unable
to visit the camp. The other can
didate for Governor, Senator Delamater,
will be here Wednesday. 1t is now said
President Harrison will not be here on
Thursday.
DEATH TO HIGH PRICES.
Philip Finn and his suffers shed was
almost wiped out Of existence about 10
o'clock last night. For several days the
members of the Guard, who have to patron
ize the tent on account of there being no
other, have complained about the exorbitant
prices charged for supplies. For instance,
a stamped envelope and sheet of paper cost
10 cents; glass Of milk, 10 cents, and any
thing else in like proportion. The boys
stood it as long as they could, and at 10
o'clock a fight started between q
soldier and one of the clerks. The
former began a bombardment upon the
shed, which was wrecked slightly.
Several people inside were struck with hy-
ing missiles, and two of them were cut about
the head. The shed lies between the second
and third brigades, and it is not known who
did the rioting. The fight was only stopped
when word was sent for a squad of soldiers
to arrest them. Lieutenant Colonel Strea-
tor, of the Tenth Regiment, heard of it and,
taking squad of men with him, he hurried
to the scene. When he arrived the vicinity
was as quiet as a National League baseball
game. 1t is expected that another attack
will be made tonight.
HOSPITAL CORPS DRILL.
The hospital corps of the United States
around camp gave drill at noon for the
benefit of the entire hospital corps of the
Guard. The latter were drawn up in front
of division headquarters and learned a
great many things they did not know before
about handling wounded man. The drill
consisted of lifting, carrying and placing
in the ambulance wagon soldier who was
supposed to be injured. The drill was under
the direction and command OF Major White,
OF the United States Army. A part of the
uniform Of the corps is heavy knife, to be
used to cut away timber and twigs to make
litter for the purpose of carrying persons.
A reunion of all the State officers and
newspaper correspondents In camp who
were at Johnstown together last summer
will be held tomorrow evening. 1t is pro-
posed to have a banquet with informal
speeches. Annanias will probably turn in
his grave when the story telling begins.
