CAMP WERTs. SEA GIRT. July 25. 1893
The third night OF the encampmeut was
al extremely uncomfortable one for The
National aGuardsmen. At midnight q
penstrating cold wind swooped down
upon the camp and made 1t impossible
for sleep. The heavy dress coats, over
coats and army blankets fell far short OF
making the soldiers comfortable, aud
many men went through the heavy
routine drills today In a manner
that plainly showed the lac k
OF sleep. The sounding of re-
seille at halt past five O'Clock,
so seldom welcomed had a warmer re.
ceptlon this morning than has been 1t
won't TO receive. The almost frozen
militiamen were glad to get out into the
warm sun, and in the company drills
which were held a few minutes later
they exhibited remarkable alacrity The
motions in the manual served 10 warm
them MP and they were glad to get this
call from drill breakfast was served, aud
the warm coffee was drank with great
relish. Before breakfast was over the
SUMS rays were of sufficient strength TO
Warm a the chilly guardsmen.
Company A is still the chief attraction
at camp and all day long the company
street ~ crowded with visitors, who are
anxious to get a peep at the plucky boys.
The Young. fellows, however. are quite
modest and treat the matter as though
1T were an easy matter TO march twenty
miles a day. They are all in the best OF
condition and GO through the heavy
routine work with a vim that surprises rhs

of the trip has made the company very
popular among the members of the fair
sex, aud almost every lady that visits
the camp grouud makes a bee line for
Company A street. The parody on the
chorus Of "Ihe Mau who Broke the
Bank at Monte Carlo,' written by Mr..
j. Francis Byrne, and which was sung
all along the lius of march, has been
adopted as the company song, and Q very
night after supper the boys congr 9 gate
Ia the company street and sing 1t. The
words were a. follows =
As we walk along the line of march
With an air just t o blase,
You can hear the people say
They're the boys Of Company A.
We own the town, just put that down;
We're out of sight when there is no light.
We're the boys tLat break the hearts In Jersey
City.
COMPANY AS MASCOT.
The company mascot, a gray kitten.
which was captured by Captain Bamsted
at Little Silver on Monday morning
plays q prominent part in Company AS
lamp life. The cat has been a IN cd Tot
tenvtlle to commemorate the record
breaking march OF twenty-five miles on
Friday. Every visitor TO the company re-
ceives an introd uction to the feline. Tot
tenville has bsen trained By the ,ys and
now she can salute and present arms IN
excellent style. The ompany will take
the animal to its armory when ie leav es.
as 1t is now q regular ealfsted member of
the company. This afternoon CAPITA In
Bumsted received the following teie :
grant
JERSEY CRY, July IS.

ARRESTED o DISCRETION.
Considerable excitement was eau Sc d
among the members Of the'Gun Data CHI
ment OF tne:Fourth this afternoon by the
arrest OF Private Albert C.. Nuber, a
member of the squad and de
tailed from Company d. Nubsr was
arrested on orders from Brigade Head
quarters charging him with deseruiou.
Nuber, it Is alleged, is a msmber OF the
Second Regiment. He enlisted In q
company at Paesaic and when he moved
from that town to Jersey City 1t is al
legged that he enlisted in Company D
without receiving his transfer from the
Second Regiment. The officers OF his
company knew of his desertion and at
CONTINENTAL trial found him guilty.
The gcharges, however, have not
yet been approved by the Brig
ade officers. When the members of
his old company saw him in camp today
they reported the matter to Adjutant
Robertson. Ths Adjutanr in turn mott
ned Colonel AbernetnY. who ordered his
arrest. Sergeant Goddis was detail ed to
carry out the order. Nuoer was arrested
In due time. and was sent home on the
half past three o'clock train.
H FOURTH DOING WELL.
The regiment made an excellent show
pantes of the First Battalion are doing
we'll under the instruction of Major
Smith.
The Gun Detachment gave an excel
lent diminished order drill this morning
In the company street. The deta chment
will indulge in It's annual beach practice
tomorrow afternoon. A target will be
anchored In tue Atlautic $500 yards from
shore, and each member of the detach-
mept will have a chance to sight the
piece.
GOOD HEALTH ALL,
Lieuteuaut DR.. Frederick OF the Hos
pital Corps reports hat the health of
the guard smen of the Fourth is very
good. aud on an average much better than
that OF the last encampment. The most
serious case at the hospital Is that of
Mr.. Charles NJ. Antonides OF Asbury
Park, who, while alighting from a train
at SEA- GlrI station this morning was
struck by a freight engine. He was in-
Jursd seriously about the skull and right
niD and may die. Although a civilian
the corps will attend to his injuries.
The members of Company L of the
First Regiment were not to be found
when roll was called this morning.
When an investigation was made it was
found that the men had gone to
Manasquan for breakfast. When they
returned to camp they said that the camp
food was ii to eat ana that they were
determined 10 get y square meal. Lieu
tenant Colonel Brientnall, as soou as he
heard OF the matter, reprimanded the
mel and ordered every member to re-
main IN the company street for twenty
four hours and denied tnem all priv
ileges. Colonel Campbell also repri-
manded the men for disobeying orders.
