of GettysburE On that occasion was
fought the greatest contest of the war
for the Union, and from that fight the
name of Gettysburg became historic
and will be sounded down the ages
when IL synonym for valor is used IN
written or vocal speech.
At this time we are reminded of one
feature OF that great event by the
beautiful and stirring poem from the
clcvcr pen of Colonel John McComb.
The poem was written to win the 500
prize recently offered by the New York
Sunday Herald.
TO any familiar with the field of Get
tysbuIg and the history of that sam
culinary battle, this incident will truly
present vivid picture. The language
is strong and full of vigor. The de-
scription is clear and shows the writer
is acquainted with his theme and that
he has the power to strikngly picture
events so as to be comprehended by
everybody. 1t is clear, also, that the
author is imhued with the true spirit
of the veteran soldier of active service,
and that he is broad minded in his
treatment of men and events.
At the last regular meeting OF Davies
post, Commander McComb gave a brief
history of the battle of Gettysburg, in
which he participated: and when he
reached the climax of his eloquent talk
he recited the stirring poem.

The News Of Carbonda1e.
They felt themselves invincible when
serving under Lee!

They felt themselves invincible when
serving under Lee!
Their leaders were intrepid and acknowl-
edged great in skill;
| Their fighting had swept back Meade 8
line to Cemetery Hill;
So when that awful cannonade had cut
it's swaths of death.
And when the air was thick with fumes
that made men gasp for breath.
1t seemed to them that all the force
which occupied the crest
Could not withstand tho grand assault
then moving from the west
The splendor of their manhood was a
panorama grand
And their onset was In keeping with the
business then In hand;
Their battle-flags were well in front-the
''clump of trees" In view
A mile beyond, n line of troops clad in
the Union Blue,
line they thought Inadequate to hold
them long at bay.
And they felt sure to shatter it before
the close of day.
For they had. many times before fought
on their chosen ground.
And felt elated with success that had
their efforts crowned,
When Union troops had made attempts
to penetrate the land
Where Dixie was the battle-hymn
played by each southern band.
But now conditions were reversed In
nearly ev'ry way
The yankee boys were to repel the
charge they made that day.
At Gettysburg the star of hope which led
the hosts of Lee
Was at its zenith when that day had
reached the hour of three.
But carnage smOte that moving mass of
valiant southland braves.
And most of them ere set of sun were
laid out for their graves!
For hell broke loose from Union guns.
which tore with shell and ball
The mainstay of Secession, and decreed
their cause should fall.
From all the fields where men have
fought for what they thought was
right,
There is no record that will show more
valor in a fight
Than was displayed at Gettysburg where
men on either side
Put forth their greatest effort for the
cause they glorified
For there it was. throughout three days,
the hest blood in our land
was IlttlE Sltltcu " ploNC tSlldSltS
and sand"
And though the cause for which Lee
strove was lost beyond a doubt,
The lapse of time has made it clear that
with the vctors' shout
There came a revelation to the men on
either side
That it was best for all concerned to
have their mettle tried;
h, n
of things of broader scope
Than prejudice of leadng-strings with
which they used to grope.
The battlefield of Gettysburg's great
historic spot,
Which will teach an objcct-lesson that
can never he forgot,
For there we learn that Freedoms Flag
In glory won the fray
And that the vanqushed now rejoice to
have the same to say:
For North and South have placed their
hands in a fratcrnal clasp,
And pledged their sons to stand for it
while Life and Time shall last.

operated on Thursday afternoon for
appendicitis. DR.. Reed Burns, of
Scranton, used the instruments. He
was ably assisted by DR.. Wheeler. For
a long time Mr.. Alexander has been
afflicted in way that made him feel
miserable, but there were no outward
symptoms of the trouble, it being the
same from which King Edward VII

Array IS REDUCED
Secretary Root Issues an Order by the
Presidents Direction.

WASHINGTON, June BY di-
rection of the president, Secreta-
ry Root has issued a general or
der decreasing the strength of
our permanent military establish
ment and changing the ratio of
its make up as provided in the
general order issued last May to
carry out the army reorganiza-
ton law. Under the general or
der of last May the total strength
of the army was fixed at 1887
men. The order issued Satur-
day reduces this figure to &c, 497,
reduction of 0,790.
In the cavalry branch of the
service the old order specified
twelve troops of seventy-fve
men each. This will decrease
the total strength of the fifteen
cavalry regiments from Is, $40
to IA, 040.
In the artillery branch the
coast contingent will be kept at
its former strength of 1876 com
panies of 100 enlisted men each,
or a total of 13, ,734, but the field
artillery will be reduced from 30
batteries of 100 men each to %
batteries Us light and 8 mount
AIM OF 126 men each. Provision
is made IN the new order for two
siege batteries, each with a
strength of 160 men, which, in
addition 10 the light and mount
ain batteries, will give the artil-
lery corps total enlisted
strength of 17,742, as against
the Is, 1862 men provided for in
the former order.
The new order reduces the
number of men to an infantry
company from 104 to 80, and our
30 regiments of II companies
each will now give a total infant
ry force of 22,880, instead of
SO. 500.
