GOVERNOR STONE IN CAMP
He Inspected Pennsylvania National
Guard On Battlefield of Gettysburg.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 15-The feature
of the camp of the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard on the battlefield yester-
day was the arrival of Governor Stone,
who will remain here for the rest of
the week. The weather was very
warm, but the soldiers stood it well.
The governor was met at the railroad
station in town by Adjutant General
Stewart and Lieutenant Colonel Elliott,
assistant adujtant general of the divi-
sion. Accompanying the governor
were his secretary, Mrs. Stone, Miss
Jean stone, Miss Watson, of Williams
port, and Mrs e. C. Gerwig.
Some idea of the size of the camp
may be gained by the fact that it took
the party two hours to ride through
the camps of the First and Second
Brigades. The commander-in-chief in
spected the Third Brigade during the
afternoon. The troops were at quarters
and the party was cheered by the SOL
diers as it rode through the grounds.
The governor was greatly pleased with
the appearance Of the men and the
camp.
Governors Day" will probably be
Friday. Secretary OF War Root and
Adjutant General Corbin are expected
to visit the camp on Friday. The Sec
retary will be rendered review.

The so-cailed union party had another meeting
at Harrisburg last week and formed a new or
ganlzation on another basis. The ticket named
before is 10 be withdrawn and convention held
to nominate !, new ticket. The object Of the
Union party is to unite the labor organizations
into political body and lift into power some
defunct politicians. These men hope to benefit
through to disturbed condition among the labor
ing people, hence this agitation for a new party.
This is the old and oft repeated cry to reform
politics of designing demagogues, which never
accomplished anything and never will amount to
anything. Parties come and parties g., and
those formed on the basis of political wrecks are
very short-lived at best.

As a historian Judge Pennypacker
has shown with equal brilliancy. He
is a clear, concise and entertaining
writer. Many of his monographs and
historical papers and addresses have
been translated abroad into German
and Dutch. His most imposing work,
possibly, is one recently Issued and en-
titled the Settlement of German
town" Judge Pennypacker spent years
In gathering material for this work.
He went personally over the ground
with the result that it has found high
favor for its comprehensive, thorough
and accurate statements and descrip-
tion. Prince Bismark personally thank
ed Judge Pennypacker for his address
in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia,
in 1889 on the Bi-Centenial celebration
of the beginning of German emigration
to America.
Judge Pennypacker married on Oc-
tober 20, 1870 Virginia Earl, daughter
Of Nathan d. Broomall. His city resi-
dence is on North Sixteenth street,
Philadelphia, and his summer residence
at Schwenksville, Montgomery county,
Pa.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten by the opponents of Judge Penny
packer about his so-caled "Eulogy Of
Quay" and attempts have been made
10 beittle his candidacy on this ground.
The fact is that the paper referred to
was one of the abest, most eloquent,
and most convincing arguments tor the
dignity and supremacy of PennSylva-
MIA in the galaxy of states that was
ever written. The title of the paper
was pennsylvania and Massachu-
setts," and its object was to demon
strate the supremacy of Pennsylvania,
and the fact that in every great his
torical crisis Pennsylvania had taken
the lead over many of her sister
states. and particularly Massachusetts.

Philadelphia, July 15.-The candi-

face a vast number of clever, inter-
esting and characteristic stories Of
his life. Men who have known him for
years never fancied that there was
bound up in his personality so much,
that, in any other man with less mod
esty, would have kept his name con-
tinually before the public.
Judge Pennypacker is not only a
learned and upright judge, but he is
an antiquarian. member of a num-
Der OF learned societies, the author OF
a number of legal works, historian
of the Pennsylvania Germans, a men,
her of the Grand Army of the Republic
and member of at least half dozen
of the great patriotic and hereditary
societies of the United States. Above
all, he is a companiOnable, modest
man, who has never presumed upon
his distinction in public or in private
life. A capital and characteristic
story Of his good nature was published
some time ago. as follows:

Doctor of Laws.
In 1887 Judge James T. Mitchell, OF
the Court Of Common Pleas Of Phila-
delphia county, was elected to the su-
preme court of Pennsylvania. The fill
ing Of this important place fell to the
lot Of Governor Beaver, who had been
greatly impressed by the eloquence and
legal acumen of Lawyer S. w. Penny
packer, who had appeared before him
to plead the merits Of certain meas
ure that had Just passed the legisla-
ture. He was accordingly appointed
Judge in place OF Justice Mitchell.
He was elected in 1889 to the same
position for term of ten years, and
succeeded Judge John /. Clark Hare,
who had resigned as president Judge.
When the campaign Of 1899 opened the
merits, fairness and ability OF Judge

nized by both political parties that in
August Of that year he received the
unanimous nomination Of Democrats
and Republicans and was reelected in
November for another term Of ten
years. At present he is president judge
of the Court of Common Pleas Number
9.

important decisions, affirmed by the
supreme court of the United States, are
the cases OF Mullen VS.. Doyle in re

ance. which before being finally de-
cided had been heard by seventeen
judges. Another was the Arch Street
Museum case, the Carter will case, the
Irwin will case, Barr VS.. the city, in

Of his historical researches Judge

which he embodied in a learned and
convincing brief, whicn was accepted
by the trustees, showing that me

RIO GRANDE TRAIN ROBBED
Masked Men Get Contents Of Safe and
VaIuabIes of Passengers.

Salida, Colo, July 15.-A report was
received here shortly before noon yes
terday to the effect that the Denver
and Rio Grande Narrow Gauge pasSen-
ger train which left here early Sunday
night was held up and robbed yester'
day by four men near Sargents, west
of Marshall Pass. The engineer was
compelled at the point of a revolver
to stop the train by masked men, who
had climbed over the tender. One OF
the robbers addressed remarks to En-
gineer Rutland, who did not understand
what was said, and before rutland could
ask him to repeat his remarks the rob-
Der struck him blow with a Winchcs-
ter rife, breaking the stock of the
gun. His head is badly swollen. No
passengers or trainmen were hurt.
Two safes in the express car were
blown open, but it is asserted by Off
GERS of the Rio Grande Express Com
pany that the robbers failed to secure
any plunder from the safes. The pas
sengers were compelled to alight from
the cars and line up alongside the
tracks in the canyon, and they were
relieved Of all their money and val
uables. Many of the passengers threw
away their money, watches and iewelry
among the rocks before the robbers
searched them. There were many tour
lists among the passengers, and while
It is not known how much the robber:
secured, 1t is presumed that the losso.
were heavy.
