WELCOMING WARRIORS HOME.
Condition of Soldiers and Hospitals
at CamD Meade.

Pottsville. Pa. Sept 17.-Minersville
last evening extended a hearty welcome
home to her soldiers, and assisted by sew
eral other towns, who turned out en-
masse gave the members of the Fourth
Regiment, rousing reception.
Speeches were delivered by Hon. C. N.
Brumm and Judge NJ. P. Dunn. after
which the men were served with a COLA
ton.
Twenty-four sick soldiers will be
brought TO the Pottsville Hospital within
the next twenty-four hours. A special
train will be sent for them today, fully
equipped with nurses, orderlies and sur
geons. The men will be brought from
Camp Meade, where the division hospit-
al is crowded and where more sick men
are being received every day.
The arrangements for bringing the
twenty-four sick men to Pottsville were
put on foot at late hour last evening,
and this move is the result of visit
paid to the camp by officials of the hos
pitaI. The visit was a pleasure excur-
sion, but it was quickly turned into
business trip by reason of the conditions
found at the camp in connection with
the sick.
The party made tour of the camp and
found everything in good order, except
that the hospital is overcrowded and that
the dust is so deep that 1t is a nuisance.
The troops are generally satisfied with
the rations furnished by the Government
but complain because there is a painful
scarcity of tobacco. The camp is grow
ing every day.
Yesterday a Michigan regiment arrived
bringing along thirteen sick men, They
were in the receiving hospital. and Major
Montelius said he would give them cots
as soon as he could get another tent up.
The medical authorities are anxious to
get most of the sick men out of the tents
before the rainy season sets in. Secretary
Sheafer, of the Pottsville Hospital says
the men of the Eighth Regiment are gen.
orally comfortably quartered at Camp
Meade now. All the tents have floors and
about half are supplied with cots, which
the boys must buy themselves.

chase of Il. a. o. stock.
Cincinnati, Sept. T.-President Bacon,
Receiver Murray General Manager
Greene. and other officials of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. and several per-
sens interested in it, had a long confer
ence here this afternoon. After its con-
clusion, President Bacon said that a
number of representative men, who are
identified with large railroad, manufac-
turing, and commercial interests in the
Northwest, more especially Chicago and
other cities on the line of the road, had
been for some time negotiating for the
purchase of a very substantial interest
in the Baltimore and Ohio, and that these
negotiations had at last been brought to
conclusion.
He said that under the reorganization,
ample means had been provided for cut
ting down grades, increasing capacity and
facilities of the road and putting ii in
a condition to promptly and economically
handle largely increased business. The
reorganization managers had he said,
also decided that subsidiary lines, includ-
ing the Baltimore and Ohio, Southwest
ern. would likewise be treated in this
manner and affairs so adjusted as to put
them in the same condition as the main
line.
President Bacon declined to state the
exact amount of money involved in the
purchase, but said it was a much larger
sum than sl0,000,00O. He declined to state
positively whether the receivers would
manage the affairs of the company in the
future, but admitted that they Were in
close alliance with the new owners, and
that it was probable they would be re-
quested by them to officially manage the
new company's affairs.

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Sept. II.
In response to question as to whether
he would resign from the army, Gen.
Wheeler said today:

commissions upon accepting legislative
office applies to volunteers as well. | re-

NOT A DISSENTING VOTE.
Gallant Joe Wheeler RenOminated
for Congress by AccIamatiOn.

Florence. Ala, Sept. I7.-Gen. Joseph
Wheeler was renominated for Congress
by the Democrats of the Eighth Congress
sional district today by acclamation.
A primary election was held through
out the district today, but the only can
didate voted for was Gen. Wheeler. The
object of the primary was to give every
Democrat in the district a chance to par
ticipate in his nomination. Gen. Wheeler
has received an exceedingly compliment
tary vote. The number of votes cast will
not be known for day or two, as no
special effort will be made to get the
returns, everyone knowing in advance
what the result will be.
A nomination by the Democrats in this
district is equivalent to an election, even
when a contest is on, but this year Gen.
Wheeler will be elected by the unanl-
nous vote of the people of the district.
and il is understood that neither the Re-
pcb:icans nor the Populists will name
candidates.

that he and other Chicago capitalists, to-

the Great Northern road had bought the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway.
Mr.. Armour said:
Il confirm the transaction referred to.
The line is not to be a transcontinental
line, but simply the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad There is no deal concerned
with it relating to the lines between Mil
waukee and Chicago
He declined to discuss the matter fur
ther. An official of the Baltimore and
Ohio said that Mr.. Hill would be identi-
fled with the reorganization of the road,
but that the combination between the
road and the Great Northern in order to
create a through trunk line from coast to
coast is a matter of the distant future.
