FROST At MT. 0RETNA.
Ice Formed on the Pools Len BY

BY Associated Press.
Mount Gretna, Pa, May s.--The
weather at Camp Hastings was in
marked contrast to that of yesterday.
During the night a heavy frost de-
veloped, but throughout the day the
sun shone warmly, and tempered cool
breeze that swept across the valley
At some of the higher points of the
camp thin coating of ice formed in
the rut and gullies made by yester-
days storm. The hardships of the past
eleven days, however, have so thor
oughly seasoned the soldiers to the ex-
tremes of weather that there were no
complaints. The recruits also were all
supplied with blankets and subsistence
and their condition is much improved
over yesterday. So far only three have
left the camp.
The bad weather of yesterday has
not developed any serious illness, and
not one patient has been placed in the
general hospital established yesterday
as a precautionary step. Additional
recruits arrived today from Pittsburg
Sharon, oil City, Erie and other west
ern points
Major Hall and his staff of assist
ants were at work early to late exam
ining the arrivals. Those accepted were

i've companies. The mastering of the
latter began today. 1t moved slowly,
owing to delay in making out the mus
ter rolls. A detail of clerks were put
to work on them tonight, and tomor-
row morning more haste will be made.
Five companies were sworn in today.
The first was Company B, Fourth regi-
ment, of Allentown, Captain Medlar
commanding. The others were Com
panies A and d, Fourth regiment: c,
Third regiment, and H, Eighth.
Major Thompson today announced
that the commissions of the regiment
and company officers will date from the
time of their appointment, and their
relative rank will remain the same as
it now is. 1t was reported during the
day that a prominent officer of the
guard just returned from Washington
had been informed by the president
that the Pennsylvania regiments were
to be distributed among regiments from
other states. Major Thompson states
that no orders have been received from
Washington regarding such an inten-
tion.
Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman was to-
day elected colonel of the Eighth regi-
ment, succeeding Colonel Magee. who
was rejected by the medical board.
Captains were also elected in several
companies of the various regiments.

The first infantry company to be
mustered in was Company B. Fourth
regiment, Third brigade of Allentown,
of which Captain A. Meddler is COM
mander. 1t became a command of the
United States Volunteer army at $50
o'clock this morning. Captain Willetts,
of Company A, Reading. had his COM
mand at the recruiting station first,
but he had neglected to have his papers
certified to by the state officers at In
spector Morrells headquarters and had
to stand aside and sec his Allentown
friends win the enviable distinction.
Captain Thomas Gilman, of d, is Off
Ger of the day; Lieutenant II. D. Var
coe, of +, officer of the guard and
Private Merriman, of d, colonel's ord
erly.
Captain Gilman, of Company d, re-
ceiVed a telegram today announcing
that his first lieutenant. w. W. Inglis,
who was in Bermuda on sick leave, ar
rived in New York Sunday and will
rejoin his company at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Much regret was ocCasioned today by
the announcement that First Lieuten-
ant William A. Raub, of Company c,
had been rejected because of physical
disability. The regimental surgeons
who first examined him could not ac-
cept him and had to refer his case to
Surgeon Major Hall, L. S. A. This
morning Major Hall reported that the
case had been unfavorably considered.
This leaves Company G without a lieu
tenant, the second lieutenant, d. w.
Davis, having shared a similar fate.
Lieutenant Raub was next to Lieuten-
ant Huff, the ranking lieutenant of the
regiment and one of its most popular
officers.
Another officer whose departure from
the ranks will be a matter of regret is
Battalion Adjutant r. NJ. Stratton, who
likewise could not pass the physical
test. He did not go up for the exam
ination, Major Parke in a preliminary
examination deciding that it would be
useless. Adjutant Stratton finally de-
cided this morning not to attempt to
get through, and will go home tomor-
row.
Dwight S. Church, Company D, at
tached to the hospital corps, whose
case was referred to Surgeon Major
Hall, was rejected this evening.
Hospital Steward Joseph f. Bau-
meister returned home this afternoon.
Who his successor will be has not been
decided as yet but Assistant Steward
Kelly will be temporarily in charge of
the hospital.

geons are to receive honorable dis

terrupting their continuous service and
robbing them of a much-coveted honor.
The complaints, however, are not very

that the government like the gospel

Railway, had trouble Sunday evening
Patrick Larkin and his friend. Bren-
nan, tried to run things and the car TO
suit themselves.
How 1t all came about was told by
Conductor Kyle when he swore out a
warrant before Alderman Howe yes
terday afternoon for Larkin's arrest.
1t seems that the two men boarded the
car and when, in due course, the fares
were to be collected, they, being some
what intoxicated and belligerent beside,
refused TO pay. Urged TO be honest or
get off, Larkin proffered a powder due
bill as a liquidation. This was refused.
A fight was almost instantly pre-
cipitated in which the two men, a third
who took their part. and the cars crew
were mixed up. Everyone else left the
car and shortly afterward the crew fol-
lowed, leaving Larkin and Brennan in
control They rode up and down for
awhile then, growing tired, they aban-
doned the car, throwing a large stone
through the windows as they left. No
arrests had been made up to late last
evening,

Obiainrd Money in Thnt Wny.

Mrs. Emma Acker yesterday caused
]. +, Giles to be arrested and arraign-
ed before Alderman Myron Kasson on
a charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Mrs. Acker alleges that Giles gecur-
ed 500 from her by representing that
he owned a horse and wagon and c.
B. Howard, who owned a considerable
amount of unencumbered real estate
would be his security that the money
would be repaid.
After Giles obtained the money Mrs.

he did not own a horse and wagon

ence TO Howard were also untrue.
Giles furnished security in the sum
of $500 for his appearance at court.
