The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-10-19

The members of the Fifteenth Mime
sofa, who complained that Ii was
warm climate here when they arrived
a few weeks ago, the thermometer then
indicating on an average only 10 or so
degrees, now admit that it is cold
enough for them. and they, too, would
not object to leaving. This fact shows
that there Is some excuse il not justih-
cation, for the earnest wish to reach
warmer climate by those Pennsylva-
mans who endured torrid heat during
the summer months and thereby had
their blood thinned to the last degree.
REGIMENT WILL GO.
AS noted in a former letter, General
Graham, the corps commander, issued
an order stating that this corps would
be represented at the Peace Jubilee
ceremonies at Philadelphia by one bat
talon from each regiment in camp.
| This programme has been modified at
| the suggestion and solicitation of the
committee in charge of the jubilee, in
| favor of the four Pennsylvania regi-
ments here, the Eighth. Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth-all of which
commands will go intact The order
to this effect has just been received
| lIOIll tHe IlTSJ ulNlSlOn COfnllhnucE WHO
| is over these regiments.
The Pennsylvania soldiers appreciate
| this honor which has been conferred
on them. The original intention Of
sending only one battalion was looked
upon with grave disfavor; but now the
men are better satisfied. All that will
| be needed to complete their happiness
| will be a prospect of some freedom
| while in the states metropolis.
During the absence Of Major General
| Young. of the First division who has
| gone to Augusta, Ga, to pick out the
new camp grounds for his command,
! Brigadier General Goblin is acting di-
| vision commander This morning The
| Tribune correspondent had long talk
! with General Goblin in regard to the
| future movements of the Third bri-
! gade in particular, and whether or not
| it would go directly South after having
| participated in the Philadelphia peace
| jubilee ceremonies. General Goblin stat
ed positively that, Notwithstanding the
| alleged official statements made in
| some of the papers to the effect that
the brigade would not return here, he
| felt sure that all the regiments, or
| parts Of regiments would return to
! Camp Meade, and the trip South would
be made by rail. Personally, he would
prefer to go straight from Philadelphia
as it would save much trouble. and es-
pecially because it is too cold to remain
here much longer. The visit of Gem
eral Young to Augusta is not without
| meaning.
DEATH OF EDINGER.
The death of Corporal John Edinger.
| OF ID company. causes no small amount

pensary, and symptoms Of typhoid be-
| gan to develop rapidly On the 7th he
was taken to division hospital, and on
| the 9th was removed to st. Joseph s
| hospital, Lancaster, where he gradual
! ly grew worse. Word was heard from
| the hospital authorities last Friday in
regard to his case, and his friends here
| felt that the end was near.
Deceased was good soldier, prompt
| obedient, and intelligent; but the boys
| appreciated his many good personal
| qualities best Always pleasant. cheer
| ful, and with an encoura ging word for
| all, he was a true friend and an en-
| JOyable companion His untimely
| death-he had just reached his major
| ity-is much regretted Corporal Ed

Private William Kinback went to
Lancaster to help in preparing the

! home of the deceased in Stroudsburg

| William Marvin, of B, a former class
mate of the deceased, will also be pres

Sergeant Paul de Paschalis, quarter
master of Company C, and now bri-
gade commissary sergeant, is receiving
heartfelt sympathy of his many friends
in the Thirteenth. He has received a
letter from Zapern, Province of Alsace-
Lorraine, Germany, notifying him that
his father, Edward de Paschalis, died
at his home there on Sept. 81. Ser
! geant Paschalis is an only child, and
has not seen his parents in fifteen
years. Brigader General Goblin has
| interested himself in the case, especial
ly as Sergeant Paschals' presence on
the other side of the water is needed
and will do everything in his power
to get for him long furlough. Under
these unfortunate circumstances the
boys feel very sorry for Sergeant Pas
Chalis.
