without interference. The withdrawal of
the soldiers will, it is believed, transfer the
keeping of the place into the hands of the
Sheriff, who has been at Homestead since
the military arrived there.
Governor Pattison Leaves the Camp.
Governor Pattison and his staff concluded
their visit to Camp Sam Black yesterday
morning, and shortly after IL o'clock they
took train from Homestead to Brinton
They afterward came to PIttsburg, and at
1915" the Governor left in his private car
for edford, where his wife and family have
been stopping. Before leaving the Union
station Governor Pattison said he was
greatly gratifed by the appearance and con-
dition of the troops. He believed them to
be equal in every way to regulars, but he
would say nothing as to their future move
ments. He left here, however, content in
the opinion that the bulk of the trouble
was over at Homestead, and that a conflict
between the strikers and the military is i'm
probable.
The soldiers suffered numerically from
the heat yesterday. The Fourteenth Regi-
ment was doing provost duty through the
streets of the town and six members of the
command were carried to their quarters,
having been overcome by the heat Ed
ward Gire, of A Company; James Nesbitt,
of c Company, and Sergeant Shubert, of G
Il,
were sent to the hospital The others were
sent to their tents and soon recovered.
James Henry, of K Company, Tenth Regi-
ment, suffered sun stroke while on
dress parade during the evening One
spasm followed another with him until 9
o'clock last night, when he showed signs of
improvement Surgeon Nef said he would
recover
Several Very Sick Men.
Surgeon Foster, who had charge of the
several cases in the Fourteenth Regiment,
said last night that all his patients were
very sick, but he believed all will recover
The heat all the day was oppressive, and
even after the sunset gun had been fired
the air was sultry and the soldiers were dis
tressed until the night brought cool breeze
that seemed to revive everybody and made
the life of the soldiers bearable for the time
at least.
The first court-martial of the encampment
was held yesterday, and two Of the guards
were tried on the charge of DISC
beying orders and being absent from
camp without leave. The guardsmen
charged were Sergeant Thomas Car
roll, of II Company, Ninth Regi-

of G Company, Ninth Regiment. Both
men were found on the streets of Home

E. G. Shein, A Company, Eighth Regi-

pany, Thirteenth Regiment; Second Lieu
tenant E. T.. McVeagh, of G Company,
Twelfth Regiment, and Major John B.
Albro, Judge Advocate of Genera!
Gobin's staff. The cases of the
men accused were heard. Sergeant Carroll
was found guilty of the charges. He was
fined S25 and was reduced to the ranks
Corporal Sheridan was found not guilty.
He proved that he had been sent through
the lines by his ranking officers. The find
ing of the court martial had depressing
effect on all the soldiers in camp and each
day they seem to realize more fully that
they are not at Homestead to enjoy sum-
mer vacation.
Anniversary of tho Pittsburg Riots.
Yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary

organization in the State. What was then
