Interesting News of the Third Kentucky—The Second Ken- tucky May Remain in Service Two Years. ntic Story of Governer’ Hastings’ Hospital Train—It Left Chickamauga Sunday With Its Sick Soldiers, Headquarters Third Kentucky Volunteers, Lexington, Ky., Aug. bo, en, Sanger has assumed com- mand of the third division, First army corps, with his headquarters at Camp Hamilton, about five miles northwest of Lexington, Ky. It is semi-oflicially announced that all men of the regiments of the third division, First army corps, who are sick for over twenty-four hours will be sent to the division hospital. This is seri- ously objected to by most of the reg- imental surgeons for the reason they thiok better care will be taken of them among their friends and com- panions than among strangers. The tick men are loud in their denuncia tions at being moved. One man who sent to the division hospital while in Chickamauga park said he would never be taken to another alive It is reported that an order has already been issued detailing Surgeon jatrett and two of the hospital stewards of this regiment on duty in the division hospital. All of the men of this regiment regret that they have to give them up, and hope to hav ub back in the regiment before many days. Capt. Gaines bas made his head. quarters in the Auditorium building, which was furnished him without ex- pen’ with bis noted and much dreaded provo gang. While blasting Saturday, Private Hodge, Company K, was struck in the head with a piece of rock. He was not seriously hurt. Maj. Bryant is making a strong effort to take his battalion to Caba and not have it mustered out with the others. He has strong assurances from the war department that his wishes will be bonored and he will have a chance to go to the front, as some of the boys are anxious to re- main in the service, Prof. J, C. Willis of the Bowling Green Business College and Southern Norma! School was a visitor at the camp yesterday. The boys are not so blue now a: were. For « while the ladies, 1 by the reports of contagious s, would not come into camp, but now, as they have learned better, the camp has its percentage of its visitors of the fair sex. Orders have been issued probibit- ing the sale of certain fruits, pies, cakes, diluted milk, ete., in camp and along the highways near to camp. This was thought necessary for the health of the camp by the surgeon: Bugler Meredith, Company D, wa taken home on a ten days’ furlough by his father, Dr. Meredith, a well known physician of Bowling Green, Ky., on account of sickness, Pat Murray, « private in Company C, of the Third Kentucky, whose home is at *Bardstown, has gotten himself into serious trouble. He will be tried by court martial for cursing and striking an officer, and may get a six months’ sentence to the peni- tentiarv, Sunday afternoon Murray anda man by the name.of Willis, also of Company C, were engaged in a very lively fight. First Lieutenant McKay, of the company, ordered Murray to quit and go to his quar- ters. He paid no attent to the order, and when Lieut. McKay grab- bed him Murray applied a side ey i- thet to him, is incensed the ofti- cer so much that he grabbed the private’s toroat and began to choke him, Murray herewith strack Me- Kay and again cursed him in the wildest manner. McKay threw him and had him gasping for wind, when some officers came up and induced him to desist. ‘The man was turned over to Capt. Railey, officer of the day, and be cursed that officer also repeatedly. He wes taken to the guard house and finally had to be bucked and gagged. He was under the influence of liquor apd well-nigh crazy. ‘The general opinion reference to the Second revalent in tucky is D. A, YEISERK, Wholesale Agent. that the regiment will not be mus- tered out at present, but will be con- tinued in the service for the full two years, The Third and Fourth Ken- tucky are at Lexington, and the offi-/ cers are of the opinion that they will’ be the regiments selected to be mus tered out. It is thought that the First Kentucky will also be kept in the service. The regiment is at pres- ent in Porto Rico, Company C, of the Third Ken- tucky, also furnishes a deserter. His name is J. P.

The Cincinnati Com- mercial Tribune tells the story in part as follows: “The whole thing has been engi- neered by Governor Hastings. He raised all the money necessary in the city of Philadelphia 10 thirty minutes. | It required $5,000 to equip the train One-half hour after this was learned by the governor every dollar had been pledged, and workmen were busy re-|! moving the seats and furnishings from | eighteen cars of the Pennsylvania company. When the seats had been) removed the cars were washed within | and without with germicide, and| tw eived by Governor Hastings the finest Lospital train that was ever pulled over the Allegheny mountains left Philadelphia, equipped with wire | 2 spring cots, on its mission of mercy to the plague-stricken camps of the south. rom the best hospitals of Vhila- delphia nurses were hastily recruited Every time Governor Hastings turned around it meant action. There was no waste of time, for his train had to go, and ithad to go prepared for every demand that might be made upon it. Oo bis flying trip to South he took with him nurses and medicines and cordials and delicac and food and bandages and every- thing which might be cailed for. Ip one of the cars was one vf the most perfect diet kitchens ever carried about the country over steel rails. Arriving in Chickamauga, Govern- or Hastings went at once to the third division hospital. A man who would equip a hospital train in twelve hours and raise $5,000 in thirty minutes is not a man who will wait at the foot of the stairs to send up his card to the officers in charge. He rudely disregarded all military etiquette and red tape, and strode into the hospital looking a giant in stature and = deter- mination, > ‘Are there any Pennsylvania sol- dhers in this room?” asked the gov- ernor, in a voice which carried to the furthest cot, In response nearly 200 emaciated, feeble, suffering volunteers feebly raised their hands, “Well, boys,”’ saide the yovernor, “I have come to take you home.”” Some of the men from the Key- stone state wept with hearts over- flowing with gratitude. ‘Those who were able dragged themselves out of their cots end commenced putting their traps together for they knew that it was time to bid the camp hos- pital goodbye when their governor said “Go, There were objections from the hospital physicians, but Governor Hastings was looking only for ob- jections from the men, and he gave no heed to the authorities in charge. But he was forced to leave fourteen of his soldiers behind in the division hospital. They were too near to the portals of death tobe moved. Death seemed certain, but it would have been inevitable bad they been carried to the train—that wonderful train, equipped in wonderful time by # wonderful man, From the di on hospital Gov- ernor Hastings went to the Sternberg hospital maintained by the Red Cross nurses. Here the men were well cared for, but the room is limited, and, a8 everywhere, the demands upon the Red Cross people exceed their capacity. So Governor Hastings had about a score of Pennsylvanians taken from there, and. the seriously sick, whom he coukl not take on a long journey, were moved under bis personal supervision from the division hospital to the Sternberg hospital. While Governor Hastings was in the Division Hospital a young boy | came up to the tall Governor with te in his eyes and asked if he would not please take him and bis friends bome. “Where do you live; where are you from?" asked the Governor. From New York, but we'll die if we don’t get home.’” “How many of you are there?’” came from the Governor's lip ve hours after the idea bad been | ® the} t LaCreole' Will Restore those Gray Hairsof: oa I guess I've got room you along.

Hastings brought with him a soldier boy whose home is in Columbus, O., and another from far Rhode Island, who followed tothe railroad tracks, limping and and homesick, and begging to be given a lift toward the dearest spot on earth to him—his Rbode Island home. When the train was loaded there were on board 221 patients from Pennsylvania, 13 from New York and one each from Obio and Rhode Island. Nearly all were typhoid pa- tients or convalescents, Fifty-six were in @ dangerous condition, and two raged in delirium all of the time that the train was hurrying over trestles and through tunnels from Cc anooga to Cincinnati. The train lett Chickamauga at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning. Its returo run was made with all the speed which had carried it South. Arriving at Cincinnati Sunday even- ing, Gov. Hastings bad more than 160 telegrams written, which were puton the wire here to carry the news to joyous parents and loving wives that their boys were coming home with their governor. 50c. may save yoer life—Planta. tion Chill Cure has saved thousands, TERRIBLE MODERN SHELLS.
