DOCTOR FROM PENNsYLvANIA

About Army Hospitals.

Tells the Commission Something More
About Army Hospitals.
DR.. William G. Weaver, Of the Ninth
Pennsylvania volunteers, proved an i'm
portant witness, as he gave detailed
information concerning the conduct of
q regimental hospital at Camp Thomas
weaver said that typhoid had broken
out about the 18th of June and that it
had increased from that time until the
10th of August. There had been about
800 cases of this disease in the regiment
and twenty eight or thirty deaths. The
doctor said there was an insufficient
supply of drugs and that at times he
failed to get what was needed Quinine
was one of the articles of which there
had been a scarcity and 100000 pills
were secured from home.
He said that at one time there were
fifty-six typhoid patients in the regi-
mental hospital because there was no
accommodation for them in the division
hospital At another time there were
sixty-seven fever patients in the COM
pany tents for whom admission could
not be secured in any hospital, division
or regimental. In summing up the
causes of disease in the camp DR..
Weaver included over work of the men
as one. The first reveile sounded at
4:30 and after that time the men were
kept quite constantly engaged with
drills and other exercises until 6:15. not
withstanding the weather was intense
ly hot. He also expressed the opinion
that the water from Chickamauga creek
was polluted. He considered the water
in this stream hardly fit to battle in.
much less to drnk.S
Dr.. Weaver related his difficulties I'm
securing tents for the regimental hos
pital and he said that in one case Chief
Quartermaster Lee had refused to allow
the regiment to have a tent which was
. stored and which was its property. Col.
Lee said the tent could not be taken out
except in the proper military manner.
In this connection, Governor Beaver ex :
pressed the opinion that this conduct
on the part Of Colonel Lee was an OUT
rage, and he said the only mistake tba,
the doctor and his colonel had made
was that they had not taken the
colonel by the nape of the neck and
kicked him out of the camp"
Major Louis A. Lagarde, a regular
army surgeon who was in charge of the
division hospital at Siboney, said the
transports taking troops to Cuba were
overcrowded. and the air was very
fetid and hot. On his steamer, the
Saratoga, thirteen cases Of fever had
developed going over. The men sent
north were supplied with Ill that could

Of Mrs. NJ. A. Campbell on Court street.
the contracting parties being her lovely
daughter, Miss Minnie Earle Campbell,
and Mr.. Nathan DumOnt Eller, an at
tachee of the firm Of :. g. Hurt & Son.
1t was most appropriately termed a 'ta-
bleauX wedding" inasmuch as the bridal
party was at first concealed from the
view of the audience by rich lambre-
quin. which extended entirely across the
room. The shifting OF the lambrequin
revealed picture OF perfect beauty. The
bride and groom were standing under a
huge bell of cosmos, suspended from the
centre OF an arch of ivy, on either side
OF which were great groups of palms and
ferns. interpreted with banquet lamps,
with multi-colored shades. The entire top
Of the arch was capped with lighted wax
candles. Immediately in front OF the
bride and groom was Rev. Or. Mcconnell,
who performed the ceremony. while at

RICH11OHD.

The business prospects Of Richmond are
Frightening. our people are moro CHEEKY
than they have been for several years
before. Not one thing but many. concur
10 create the belief that the ebb tide has
reached it's limit, and that the inflow will
soon begin.
Practical men do not expect that pros
perity viii come in tidal wave. Even
II that were desirable, it is not 10 be ex-
pected. Improvement will be gradual,
but we believe it will be steady. Already
one conspicuous advance has been made
the prophets of evil are less d-tongued
than they used to be. Most of them now
admit that 1t is probable business will
improve
That is a happy sign. 1t encourages
those who have faith and confidence in
Richmond to increase their efforts TO
bring trade here When once we have
come TO believe in ourselves and our city
we shall find it easier TO make converts
Of others.
Yes; we are rejoiced to say that our
people are in hopeful state of mind
Several great. new enterprises are as
sured, ard others are In embryo. Soon the
industries OF this city will be giving en-
ployment TO many hundreds more than
they now have upon their pay-rolls. Soon
there will be stir in the real-estate mar
ket. Already enquiries are far more nu-
merous than they were in the spring of
the year.
That real estate here will never be
cheaper than it is now is the belief of
many persons who are considered to be
sagacious and who are known TO be on
the lookout for bargains. Furthermore,
the signs OF the times indicate that the
rise in values is going TO be especially no
ticeable ia those sections of the city
where tho depression OF prices has been
greatest That is as it should be; 1t is a
healthy sign. When artisans are in gene
raj demand small property becomes salea-
bic and rentable. and all other property
follows suit and increases in value.
There is much in national and State
legislation that we should like to see
remedied, and which, we trust, will be
remeded, but meanwhile, we cannot af-
ford TO be idle. II we wait for perfection
IN legislation we shall never do anything
The true policy Is TO do the best we can
under existing conditions and work to
remedy the conditions that bear hardly
upon us.

DISCHARGED CONVICTs.

In our opinion it is easy enough for
Richmond to "deport' all the convicts
discharged here. To do 1t, it is only ne
cessary for the police to enforce with the
utmost rigidness the law concerning
tramps and suspicious characters.
Each convict as he passes the prison
gates might be met by policeman and
told that he must leave the city. or he
will be arrested under the vagrant law.
The great majority of them would be
unable to show that they were possessed
OF means of support, and would act upon
the notice given them, especially as the
State provides them with transportation
from Richmond TO the place where they
were convicted.
BY the way, our tramp ordinance has
by no means cleared the city Of that
undesirable class. Tramps may still be
seen going from house to house begging
for money or food.
Ii would be well for the authorities to
inquire If the ordinance is being en-
forced as thoroughly as 1t should be-
