WITHTHESOLDIEHS
All the Regiments Getting
Ready for The Review.
THE COURT MARTIALS
Will Sit Next Week and Try the
Cases to Come Before It—
Camp Gossip.
'Many chang/s have been made at the
provost guards' quarters recently. New
cell* have been built, a dungeon arranged
and everything put in better Shape. A
News reporter was shown through the
building last night and found it to be In
excellent condition.
New celbs have been built on the left of
the building and the white and colored
prisoners are now separated. About one
hundred prisoner* were confined last night
and the summary court was in soseion dur
ing the reporter's visit. Captain Hardee
was in charge of the court and was ad
rainiatering justice to the prisoners. (Many
of them were up on the charge of being
drunk, and in each case they would be
fined from $2.50 to $5. . >
On the lower floor is the ducking stool
and the dungeon. When a prisoner be
comes unruly he is placed in the ducking
stool and cold water is poured on him
land be is kept there until he submits. The
dungeon is walled in with brick and is
a/bout 6x4, and the darkness is intense. A
man is generally kept in the dungeon three
or four days if he cannot keep quiet up
*tairj»- a
The men are <till very crowded in their
quarters and it is very unhealthy for the
men to sleep so crowded. All of tbe pris
oners are went to the mess hall to take
their meals. They are given the same fare
as the other soldiers, unless they are bois
terous, and they are then fed on bread and
•water.
At present there are four companies on
provost duty and the men seem to be well
pleased with staying at the guard house,
and say that they are belter satisfied .than
they would be in camp.
SEVENTH CAVALRY.
The troops of the Seventh Cavalry are
still looking forward to the coming of the
paymaster. Their money is long overdue
and they are beginning to get unasy. The
men say that they want the money and
that they haven’t received any since the
first of November.
The cavalrymen still continue to be pop- '
ular with the citizens and they have the :
largest number of visitors every after- I
’ndbn. Their guard mountings every morn- i
ing are very interesting and are witnessed
by many people. Their band has not yet
received the instruments for a mounted
band and are using the infantry instru
ments. As soon as the instruments arrive
the men of the band say they will give the
people some music that is worth listening
to. The cavalrymen will no doubt make
an excellent show on the day of the pa
rade.
The dress parade yesterday afternoon
was decidedly the best that has yet been
held. The men all seemed to take an in
terest in the drill and the colonel compli
mented their officers on the excellent J
showing made by the men.
It is probable that all of the companies
of the Second Ohio will appear in the pa
rade Monday. As the president is from
Ohio, it is understood that the president
will allow the companies that are now on
provost duty to appear in the parade so as
show the Ohio regiment off to the beet ad
vantage. The regiment was 'four compa
nies short in the last review and the colo
nel wants all of his men in line Monday.
Since the new rule was established al
lowing five men to the company to come to
the city after dark, many of the men of
the regiment are seen. Twenty men from
each company can come into any enter
tainment if they are accompanied by an
officer of the regiment. During the past
two weeks the number of soldiers at the
opera 'house has been noticed and it is ee
timatvd that fully 200 are present at every ;
Play.
While there are some men in this regi
ment who wish to be mustered out there
are some who who want to go to Cuba for
the winter. The general opinion among
the men. however, is that if they do not
get into Cuba 'by the first of January that
they will never go there and that they will
be sent home to be mustered out. About
fifty men have been discharged from the
regiment recently, and mure applications
for diKc'harges have been sent in but it is
exceedingly doubtful as to whether they
will be granted.
Private John L. Corey is very ill at his
tent on Company 1 street., Lieutenant E.
W. Maratz, of Company D. who nas been
very ill with pneumonia for the past few
days, is greatly improved.
“Divine services in the Second Ohio to
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, the band
accompanying the singing of the hymns.
Anthem by the glee club. by the i
band after the service.’’ The above was
given out by Chaplain Crawford, of the
Second Ohio, this morning, and he cordi
ally invites the public to be present to
morrow. All of tbe friends and the public
generally are invited to the camp tomor
row.
Sergeant Samuel Blakely and Privates
O. A. Steinevery, Henry Agenbroad, of
Company L, have received their discharges
and have left for their homed in Wapato
neta, O. Corporal George W. Barry ha*
been promoted to fill the vacancy caused
by the discharge of Sergeant Blakely.
Corporal R. A. Breese, of Company L,,
■who has been acting as regimental sten
ographer, has been promoted to the posi
tion of regimental sergeant-major!
Mr. Lester Bayne, of Macon, has enlie
terd in the Second Ohio and has -been de
tailed as regimental stenographer.
Privates Marlette, Ausman and Barber,
of Company M, and Corjoral Phenneger
and Privates Wallace and Riley, of Com
pany ’M, have secured furloughs and will
®pend Christmas at home. The first three
are from Palduing, and the latter from
Belfountain.
THIRD ENGINEERS.
Tbe men are becoming better satisfied
since they see they cannot get any encour
agement from their officers in regard to
being mustered out. Still that does not
keep them from longing to be out of th* 1
service and it is expected that many of
them will still continue to flood the de
partment at Washington with applications
Cor discharges. . u
In this regiment are many Georgia boys,
| and it is known that their people are tak
ing atepe to get them out. It will probably
take some time, but they will eventually
i be discharged.
The men of the regiment have not yet
been able to find out the man Who wrote
the article in the Telegraph a few
ago. They ©till claim it was wiitten by
i oae of the officers and they r°fer to one of
{ Fam Jones' sayings *aboui a nom de plume.
| Tb’ey have inspected the regimental roster
and found no name such as was signed to
ihe article in the Telegraph, and they say
i that the author had better keep quiet.
' The dress parade yesterday afternoon
wis very good but it was not up to its
usual standard.
Private Till ford, the man Who cut Pri
vate Flynn at the camp several days ago,
will, in all probability, be tried by court
martial in a few days. The plea which
Tilford will put up is said to be self-de
fense and as there are several witnesses
to rhe' affair, it is not known what will be
| the outcome of the trial.
The regimental .band will give* a coiacert
’ tomorrow afternoon and the members of
all of the regiments and the citizens are
cordially invited to be present. The band
is fast improving and will soon be one of
the best stationed here. The band has a
| good leader and he is bringing the men up
i to a high standard in music.
Many of the officers attended the ball
' last night at the Volunteers Armory, and
I they pronounced it a grand affair.
The-public are invited to visit the camp
tomorrow afternoon.
* CAMP HASKELL.
Every regiment was out on dress parade
yesterday afternoon and the coioneis gave
the officers the final instructions in re
gard to the parade on 'Monday. The men
were put through the different evolutions
and they all showed up well.
A general courmartial will be summoned
I in a few days to try the negro Thomas,
[ who killed his tent mate, Ellis, several
days ago, and ft is very probable that he
will be sentenced to be shot. It is said
that he killed his victim In cold blood.
The bands of'the different regiments will
give concerts at the camps tomorrow at
j ternoon, and it is expected that a large
r crowd of peopjle will be present. The
Chaplains will also hold services in front
of the headquarter’s tent.
Several men engaged in fights yesterday,
but none o>f them were hurt. The negroes
do not seem to like the idea of riding on
the trailer ears on tbe Vineville line, and
it is expected that there may be some
trouble. The conductors are very firm and
are making all of them get on the rear
cars. Several have been put off the cars
and several times there came near being
trouble.
Many of the colored troops are sick and
about twenty were were carried into the
division hospital yesterday. None of them
have penumonia. The negroes of the Sixth
Virginia aye anxious to be mustered out ;
of the service and are raising a great kick
about it. This seems td be the cause of all
of the trouble an'd several of them said
yesterday afternoon that they were going
to kefp it up until they were given their
discharge.
Very few of the men will be allowed to
come into the city tomorrow, as the offi
cers say that they have no business in the
city on 'Sunday.

THE MOUTH
As Described by a School Boy in an Es
say.
The following was written by a boy whp
was compelled by his teacher to write an
essay on the mouth:
“The mouth is in the front door to the
face, -v is the aperture to the cold stor
age of anatomy. Some mouths look like
peaches and cream, some'look like a hole
in a brick wall, to admit a new door or
window.
“The mouth is the hot bed for toothache
and bunghole for oratory. The mou|h is
the crimson aisle to your liver; it is pa
triotism's fountain and a tool chest for
pie.
‘•Without the mounth the politician
would be a wanderer upon the fact of the
earth and go down to an honored grave.
“It is the grocer's friend, the orator's
pride and the dentist's hope. It has put
some men sto the rostrum and some in
jail.
“It is lunch counter when
attached to maiden, and tobacco’s friend
when attached to a man. It is the home
of rhe unruly member, the tongue.”

MANY CROOKS
IN TOWN
Operating With Success at
The Railroad Stations.
A gang of croks is in the city. Yester
day three men were robbed at the Union
depot and a nice sum secured from each.
It seems that the gang has been following
up the president to the different, places
in the South and the are making big
hauls everywhere they go. -4
Yesterday Rev. J. B. Holland, of Nor
wood was robbed on the Central train in
the Union depot. He says that he. was go
ing out of the car when he met four men
in the aisles and they hemmed him in so
that he could not pass. He says that they
kept him there for over five minutes, but
he did not once think of being robbed. He
made several efforts to get by but without
success and as soon, as he left the car he
found his pocket book missing.
He returned to the car to look for the
men but they had disapeared. He said he
noticed that they came all the way from
Atlanta on the train and that they were
constantly watching him. He did not re
port the matter to the detectives as the
amount secured was very small. Yester
day after noon Mr. John Anderson, of Nor
folk, Va., was robed of $l9O in the same
manner. He did not discover his less un
til he had left the depot apd he at once
reported the loss to the police headquar
ters. Detective Clark began work on the
case and last night arrested four of the
supposed crooks. He believes that there
are more of them in the city and will con
tinue hie search for the others today.
