Camp Alger, Va, June 3.--According
10 Colonel Albert c. Logan, of Pitts
burg, quartermaster general of the Ma
tional Guard of Pennsylvania, wh6 is
now on visit to the Keystone COM
panies at Camp Alger, the men who are
recruiting regiments and companies,
in and about Scranton, in the eXpecta-
tion of commissions are going to be
disappointed.
Governor Hastings plan, so Colonel
Logan says, Is to recruit the present
companies to their full quota of 1O6
from their home towns and allot new
companies to be organized to such por-
tions of the state as have not had a
chance to secure representation in the
volunteers. Easton and other cities of
equal size and importance are clamor-
ing for the privilege of sending a
company to the front under the second
call for troops and the governor feels
that they are entitled to recognition.
Localities that had National Guard
companies, have had about their full
share of glory. Other places must be
given some consideration.
Lieutenant w. w. Inglis, of Com
pany D, was today appointed to the
position of acting quartermaster of the
Third brigade by Acting Brigadier
General COurscn. r. j. Duffy.

the spring, glanced at the crowd in
waiting and at the others coming down
the hillside. That was enough on the
score of quantity. what Is the quail
ity of the water?" he asked of Colonel
Cirard. THE water is not bad, but as a
precautionary measure have ordered
that 1t be boiled before being used for
drinking purposes" "Have you barrels
for storing the water after it Is boiledY'
the general asked of the waiting corps
Of cooks. One of the number answered
in the negative. The general asked
Colonel Girard why barrels had not
been supplied each company as had
been directed. Colonel Girard replied
that the barrels were being distributed
as fast as they arrived. General Gra-
ham called one of his aides to his side
and in an unnecessarily loud voice di-
rected him to "go over to corps head
quarters and have those empty bar
rels that are piled up there distributed
to companies that are not already sup
piled with them; then go to the quarter
master and lind out how soon he ex-
poets those other barrels l ordered"
General Graham then informed Major
Stillwell that the artesian well on the
parade ground was as much the prop
erty of the Thirteenth as of any other
regiment and that until better arrange
ments could be made, he should secure
one of the army wagons and carry
water in barrels from the spring to the
camp.
General Graham continued his inves-
tigation into the other camps and a
likely result of the Thlrteenth's Kick
is an energetic move on the part of
General Graham to relieve the only
hardship the soldiers now have to en-
dure, T. ], Duffy.

FILLING UP REGIMENTS.
Opinion OF Congressman GTosvenoT
of Ohio With Reference IoIt

The following remarks by Congress
man Grosvenor of Ohio, on the sub
Ject of second Call for volunteers Will
be Of interest herea bouts:
Ihe two plans differ in this respect:
one is to raise the $1,000 volunteers by
calling upon the governors of the states
to furnish regiments, companies troops
or batteries organized under the call
and the other is to absorb sufficient
number or the 1000, covered by the Sec
ond call i'm iilling the regiments that have
been raised under the first call to the
maximum.
There are, of course, two sides to this
question and opinions will be based some
what upon the standpoint from which
observation is taken, The governors of
the states, naturally, desire additional
regiments, batteries, and troops, and /
am satisfied that there would be greater
rapidty in the filling of the second call,
if that plan we're adopted, but the law
Of April %, 1895, is imperative that be-
fore any new regiments, batteries. or
companies shal be accepted the regi-
ments under the first call shall be filed
to such maximum as the president may
decide upon, and one hundred and SIN is
the maximum that he can fix.
There is a most important considera-
tiOn involved in this matter and one that
ment. The cost of maintaining a reGi-
ment of volunteer infantry for one year,
in the matter of its officers alone,
amounts to a great deal of money. IIe"e
is the result In round numbers:
Colonel Observation-Disclosures. S3 500
Lieutenant colonel ....,........,...... $500
Three majors ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 800
Seventeen officers, with the pay of
captain, which Is $500 .....,..... 30, ,GOO

One surgeon Observation-Disclosures. 2,5OC

This would make the gross pay of the
| officers for the fifty-two regiments ga
| 100000, Then take the additional pay Of
| the sergeants and other non-commis-
stoned officers and you will find an aggre-
gate Of pay alone of not less than &c.

STORM ATLAKE ARIEL
Damage Much Worse Than ut First
RcpOrted--Vnrious Notes from
the Pleasant Resort.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Lake Ariel, June 3.The damage
from the hail storm of last evening is
more severe than at first reported,
Fruit, grain and garden truck have
been cut down as il moved with a
scythe. Windowlights were broken on
the northeast side of every house in
town. The Hotel Pines suffered the
most, having eighty lights out. The
skylight of c. +. Jones was destroyed.
j. w. Andrews store is a wreck on
the north side. The hail was accom-
panied by heavy rain washing out the
roads and filling streams to overflow
ing.
HailstOnes We're picked up that meas
ured six inches in circumference, and
this morning they lay in rows six
inches deep.
Fields of rye Law fiat and corn will
have to be replanted. As far as can
be asCertaired the storm took a path
about a mile wide, starting at Lake
Ariel and dying away beyond Salem.
The picnic grounds have been much
improved this year, having been spread
with gravel. Trees have been trimmed
and the waterway built up in good
shape. Fifty new boats have been put
on the lake. The swamp at the head
of the lake has been filled and we are
likely to have splendid diamond
there.
The Columbia hotel has been repaint-
ed and remodeled for the summer sea-
son.
The first excursion of the season
| comes Saturday, being the Church OF
the Good Shepherd, of Green Ridge.
The mammoth cottage of DR.. A. j
Connell is nearly completed. When
finished it will be the finest at the
/ lake.

| Simpson & Taylor, is erecting "a large
| addition to his cottage.

Tho Whole Story Told by His wife :
1t May Help You. ~

: "When my little boy was six years old
he had an attack of the measles, and after
recovering he was restless at night, had
no appetite, and was cross and fretful.
Later on, large blotches and sores broke
out on his face and limbs We were told
they would heal In a few days; but
these few days grew into months. One
day my husband, who is a well-known
railroad man, was advised by some OF his
fellow workmen to give the boy Hoods
,Sarsaparilla. We concluded to do 30, and
after he had taken the first bottle we
noticed some improvement. We kept on
giving him this medicine until he had
taken three bottles, when he was COM

features Of these fifty-two regiments
which will he absorbed in the nlling up
of the skeleton regiments now In the SER
vice to the maximum.
This is the money side OF 1t, but if the
volunteer army will be better, more ef-
ficient and more valuable under the sys-
tenn that will cost S6,00O0 900 more money,
notwithstanding the immense sum of
money, It ought to be adopted, and In this
connection 1t may be added that this Is
only, perhaps, an estimate involving
half the additional cost, which Will be in
cluded In additional camp and garrison
equippage. additional transportation fa-
Cilties, for each regiment must have its
quota or complement of transportation,
irrespective wholly of the number Of
men on the rolls.
Now would 1t be more efficient to take
these skeleton regiments and send these
new recruits right into the organized
companies now drilling and training, and
partly drilled and partly trained and be-
coming rapidly efficient. or to send them
into new companies and new regiment,
under new officers? In the one case the
recruit fresh from home is absorbed into
an organized company, among men part
ly efficient and partly trained and partly
seasoned, and is rapidly assmilated. In
| the other case, the recruit becomes a
| part of new company, with new otti-
| GERS and n new experiment out and out.
1t must be borne in mind that fresh
! levees of soldiers during the first six
months are liable to- sickness or disease
| incident to the remarkable change of
| conditions between homo and camp, be-
| tween ordinary occupations and marches
and bivOuacs, and the diminution or
| Of force will be felt when the company

It would, therefore seem that the part

Emory and Henry College.

1t gives us pleasure to call our
readers attention to the advertisement
of Emory and Henry College in this
paper for the following reasons:
Emory and Henry is one of the best
Colleges in the South. Her past
record is most enviable. Her sons are
the pride of their professions, and are
found among the leaders from sea to
sea.
Emory and Henry is now doing
work abreast of the times. Her
students that go beyond the College
into the great Universities often
attest the good work of their lima
Mater by bearing off the honors there.
The location OF Emory and Henry
is admirable Tor study. Retired from
the world with its push and its pas
sion, the Emory boy, like the shepherd
girl of France and the Shepherd boy
of Judea, may fit himself to become
a leader Of men.

How To Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital
organs. If the liver is inactive, you
have Il bilious look; if your stomach
IS dlSordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys are affected, you
have pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. Electric Bitters" is a good
Alternative and tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys.
Furrfes the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boiIs, and gives a good
complexion. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Sold at J. w. Kelly's drug
store. 90 cents per bottle.

lives as the result of a cloudburst,

The loss of life in three other families

Express Company Fined.

In the mayors court of Lynchburg
Friday morning the mayor fined the
Southern Express Company 800
and costs for charging greater rates
than the law allows, from which de-
cislon the defendants will take an
appeal. On July I. j. w. Craddock
offered for transportation to the
Southern Express Company pack
age weighing less than five pounds
addressed to I. NJ. Jones, Bonsack,
Va. A warrant was sworn out by
Craddock charging the company with
demanding one cent in excess of their
published charges, the one cent being
to pay for a revenue stamp which the
company placed upon the receipt for
the package. The court expressed
itself as being clearly of opinion that
this tax was intended to be borne by
the defendant company, that the said
tax Is one Of the costs and charges
incident to the conducting of the
business of the defendant. 1t was.
therefore, perfectly clear that the de-
PENDANT company had demanded and
received sum greater than the max
imum amount prescribed by law, and
greater than the sum mentioned in
their printed and posted schedule.
This was a violation Of both the
spiri; and letter Of the law. But, be-
ing test case, the Court, stated that
intending to establish a pre-
cedent, the minimum fine of 800 |
would be imposed upon the defendant
