Court Martialled.
Two members Of the First regiment
Of Philadelphia, were court martialed
today for insulting Governor Stone by
making disparaging remarks as he
drove through Gettysburg yesterday.
It is said the men will be drummed out
or camp Major General Miller, who
has been i'll since yesterday, Is still
confined ia division Headquarters.
A. rumor has been circulated about
20 the effect that the Thirteenth and
Ninth regiments would be retained in
camp, to meet any difficulties which
might arise among the strikers. Said
Governor Stone to The Tribune cores
pondent: d,
THE idea Is absurd. In case of any
outbursts those regiments will be near
err the scene of difficulties. right at
home. Moreover, we do not expect any
trouble. The mine workers officials
have thus far showed commendable
Willingness to cooperate with the civil
authorities in suppressng any disor-
der, more so in fact than they have
ever before done. There may have
been small local outbreaks, and they
are matters for the local authorities
to attend to and can be easily coped
with by any sheriff with a backbone.
The military Is not force to be
used for policing purposes. as is gen.
orally and enormously supposed. 1t
is rather a reserving force, only to be
appealed to in cases of great cmergen-
cy. AS matters stand now, the leaders
Of the strikers realize 1t is to their
advantage to maintain peace and order
and up to date have done so. There
is no reason to suppose that their men
will suddenly resort to lawless actions"
Governor Stone also expressed himself
as highly pleased with the Thirteenth's
showing at inspection.

Condition of Camp.
General j. p. S. Goblin was seen by
The Tribune correspondent this morn
ing, and expressed himself as extreme
~ gratified by the condition of the
Thirteenth's camp, when he Inspected
1t. "Everything in that camp is In
hrst class condition. It's undoubtedly
one of the best camps Of the division"
said he. In discussing the strike situ-
alton, General Goblin said:
personally, i do not think there is
going to be any trouble. Still, it is al
ways the unexpected which happens.
No one expected that the sheriff would
shoot crowd of men and precipitate
a riot at Lattimer. In case of any
trouble in Carbon county l think it is
only natural to assume that my bri-
gade will be ordered out. In fact any
brigade commander would consider 1t
an affront, if call We're made upon
any other brigade to take care of
disturbance In his region"
