later, at Cold Harbor, the Twenty
Massachusetts dropped "a per cent. of
its men in front of a single breastwork.
The One Hundred and Forty-irst Penn
sylvania also lost "a per cent. in the
Peach Orchard fight at Gettysburg.
The fifth in this list is the famous
Duryea's Zouaves, that lost 90 per cent.
in one dash at Second Bull Run. Its
death roll was III, the highest in any
Union regiment in single battle dur
ing the war. Every unit in all these
startling numbers represents hero, and
it is not getting very close to the indi-
vidual to simply name regiments total.
But to his comrades each brave boy will
seem to stand in line and answer "Herer'
on the very ground where his young life
was given to his country.

parison of losses. Here are three facts
bearing on that point. The forty i'm
the Potomac are led by the Fifth New
Hampshire, which carried $500 men on
Its rolls, and 295 of them were killed.
The Seventh New York Heavy artillery
carried less than 2,700 men on its rolls,
and 291 of them were killed. That is
about even, allowing for all contingen-
cies. But the Eighth New York pulls
the artillerymen ahead by long reach.
1t carried lessthan 1900 men on its rolls,
and 361 of them were killed. In other
words, with only eighty more men on its
rolls its killed numbered sixty-six more
than the New Hampshire infantry lost.
Now for the immortals on horseback.
The nine cavalry regiments of the Union
that lost over 100 men killed in battle
belonged to the Army of the Potomac
and rode to the charge and raid in the
narrow strip between the Susquehanna
and the James. Maine heads this band
also, and with its First cavalry and a
score of TIA killed. Michigan follows,
with three claimants in rotation-the
First, with 1854; the Fifth, with 141, and
the Sixth, with 1876.
Vermont claims place in this list
with its First cavalry, that scored 1874
New York has two names on the roll,
her First Dragons, that lost 1870, and the
Second cavalry that lost 121. New Jer-
sey is represented by her First cavalry,
Ii lnl -. |,
Eleventh regiment, with 119. The troop
ers won their honors by hard fighting,
where Fitzpatrick, Custer, Gregg, Tor
bert, Wilson and Kautz led them against
Stuart, Hampton, Rosser and the Lees.
Another band of immortals whose
honors belong to the Potomac field COM
prises the ten regiments that suffered
the heaviest in killed, counting percent
ages ON the number enrolled. The first
three lost over 10 per cent, or about one
in every five enrolled. These were the
Second Wisconsin, 1877 per cent; the
First Maine Heavy artillery, 1919 per
cent, and the Fifty-seventh Massachu-
setts, 1871 per cent The One Hundred
and Fortieth Pennsylvania lost ia per
cent; the Seventh and the Twenty
Wisconsin, each 17.2 per cent, and the
Sixty-ninth New York, III per cent, the
killed in these four regiments being
about one in six of those enrolled. In
the remaining three of this immortal
ten the loss was about one in seven of
the enrolment. They were all Penn
sylvanians, the Eleventh scoring 16.6
per cent. the One Hundred and Forty
second, 1876, and the One Hundred and
Forty-first, 1871 per cent.
Last and greatest of all, when the su-
preme test is applied, come the immortal
five regiments that lost in killed in
single battles a proportion considerably
greater than one to five of the number
engaged. These five made their remark

top stands the First Minnesota, which in
a charge at Gettysburg left 2S per cent.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The base ball record in this part of
the county was beaten yesterday after
noon by the Hazeton club and the
Tigers. For two hours and twenty min
utes they struggled hard to gain some
advantage over each other, but so evenly
matched were they that it was found
impossible: The game opened in a
rather listless manner, and it was not
until the Tigers tied the score in the
ninth that it became very interesting.
HaZleton made a run in the first
inning, two in the second and two in
the fifth. For the next nine innings
not one of the visitors could pass third
base. The Tigers scored one in the
second, third and fifth, and two in the
ninth.
When the score was tied both teams
got down to perfect ball playing. AL
though the pitchers were batted freely
enough, the batters could not hit safe,
and the game went on like clock-work
until the end of the fourteenth inning,
when the umpire, with the consent of
both managers, called it on account of
darkness.
The batteries of both team did excel
lent, and the longer the game became
the more efficient were the pitchers
Irlmble's third base work was the lead
ing feature of the day, and the fly catches
OF j. Heron and Gillespie were well ap-
plauded. The Tigers diamond did the
best playing seen here for some time,
the four players having accepted fifty
five chances with only two errors. The
score:

Sept. go the veterans will meet to
live the war days over on the banks
of the Potomac. They will glide over
the course to the grand encampment in
parlor coaches, they will float there in
palace steamers, and even couch their
rheumatic limbs in the downy berths of
those supreme luxuries of the age
hotel cars-feasting at will, sleeping
when the fit takes them, and awaken
ing from dreams as charming as an
oriental's vision to hear the train call,

their eyes, pinch their flesh and hunt
through their clothes for mementos to
identify themselves, for all will be so
strange. When they were boys they
joked about rooms bespoken at Will
lard's or the Spottswood, the swell war
time hostelries of Washington and Rich
mond. Now they will be honored
guests in quarters that are kingly in
contrast with those noted models, and
will have the keys to city where splen-
dor paints the air with royal tinge.
In 1861 they were happy to secure
bench in box car, and thought nothing
of riding on the bumpers and holding on
to the brakemen's ladders. Anything
above an open flat car was prize, and
they would even be thankful for stand
ing room in one of them as a means of
getting to the seat of war somehow, or,
if put to a pinch, go afoot and not
grumble at bad walking. Once there
berth on the pavement was a stroke of
fortune, for bed in the mud was
common lot, while a strip of sward
feet by 2 on Capitol Green was elegance
itself.
Very modest and timid at first about
taking liberties in the holy city, their
shyness vanished in day or two and
Washington, that didn't press honors and
cheer upon them contained nothing too
good in their eyes for the men who We're
to save it. They made cooking camp
on the grounds around the treasury,
bivouacked under the overhanging scaf-
folds of the Capitol rotunda and in the
chambers and committee rooms of con-

the nation had suspended the chase
after the almighty dollar to go cunning

The social entertainment of the boys
at the capital in 1861 was as informal
and primitive as their fare. Guests of

They clambered over builders debris on
the Capitol plaza, lodged among scaf-

the way around porticos, galleries and
corridors, querying whether the mann

serve its true purpose.
They haunted the navy yard and ar

for ducal parks and palaces in their inno-

worm eaten, ramshackle village, then
pulled their war enthusiasm up to the

crowds to shake Father Abrams" hand

The patriot graves of the nation.

And all night long till the break of day

With reverent awe and wonder,
Till blue cap waved in the lengthening line
And knew that one who was kin of mine
Had come.

immortals of the Army of the Potomac,
the forty infantry regiments whose dead
on those fields scored above 200 killed
in battle. There are just forty of them
and in state lines knew no east nor west
New Hampshire heads the list of these
crack regiments with the famous
"Fighting Fifth" that scored death
roll ON the field of 295. Pennsylvania
follows with the Eighty-third's death
roll of 2S2. Ten other Keystone regi-
ments appear in this list, the One Hun
dred and Fifth, that lost 245: the Sixty
first, 237; the Eleventh, 1856; the Forty
fifth, 227; the One Hundredth, 224; the
One Hundred and Forty y-eighth, 210; the
Eighty-frst, 20S; the Fifty-ffth, also
20S; the One Hundred and Forty-fifth,
205, and the Fifty-third, 200.
The third place on the list is held by
Wisconsin, with the Seventh, that lost
281. The Sixth Wisconsin has a place
lower down, with 244 for a record of
killed, and the Second Wisconsin is
close to that, with 23S.
Michigan is in the fourth place, next

regiment lost 263. Five other Michigan
regiments have places-the Sixteenth.

Second, also 225; the Eighth, 223, and
the Seventh, 20S.

the Ninth, with 200, and the Fifty
seventh, 20l.
New York, that shed more hearts
blood than any other state, because she
had more-but she did give it-New
York comes in for the sixth place, and
that is held by the gallant Sixty-ninth
Qrish), with a roll of 259 killed. The
Empire State appears again with the
Fortieth Mozart regiment, scoring 23S;
the One Hundred and Twenty-first, 228;
the One Hundred and Eleventh, 220, and
the Fifty-first, 202.
New Jersey holds the twelfth place
on the list, the seventh to eleventh being
taken by regiments named with their
state leader. The Fifteenth New Jersey
lost 240 killed.
Vermont has her first honor in the
twenty-third place, with the Second, that
lost 221 killed; the Fifth lost 209; the
Third, 208, and the Sixth, 203.
These four regiments, together with
the Fourth Vermont, formed the famous
Vermont brigade, that lost more men
killed on the field than any other brigade
In the army east or west.
Maine scores one in the thirty-second
place, the Seventh, that lost POT. But
she is at the head in two other lists of
crack regiments noted below.
Connecticut is thirty-ffth, with the
Fourteenth, that lost 205, and Indiana is
thirty-eighth, with the Twentieth, that
lost 201.
Another band of immortals that
fought over the bloody ground of the
Potomac is the nine regiments of heavy
artillery that scored records of over 200
killed. They were all recruited for gar
rison duty, and went to the front in
1864. Their losses were remarkable, be-
cause they nearly all occurred within
ninety days, in the battles of May, June
and July, at Spottsylvania, Cold Har-

Dor and Petersburg. The list is headed
by the First Maine, with its 423 killed.
Next follows the Eighth New York,
with 36l. The Empire State has four
other representatives in the band-the
Seventh, with 291 killed. the Four

and the Ninth, with 2O4. The Second
Connecticut lost 254, the First Massa-
