Railroads Bring Ten Thousand. Over 12. COO visitors from all parts of Pennsylvania and adjoining states thronged Gettysburg on Sunday and from early morning until late in the evening the town was crowded with people.

The arrival of the visitors was followed hy the opening of the majority of the business places of town and groceries, drug, stores, souvenir places and other establishments were doing business as on week days while certain streets were lined with stands from which refreshments and souvenirs were sold The town looked more like a seaside resort than staid old Gettysburg and a big business was done with the visitors to the encampment. As usual postal cards were the chief attraction. The first collection trom camp Sunday morning brought 10.000 to the local post ocffie. The boxes on the Square bad to be emptied several times during the day and a total of 40,000 cards were sent from the local post office by this morning's mails. The railroads ran about fifteen extra trains to bring the people here.

More than a thousand people each were Price Two Cents HORSE TRADE SQUABBLE Deputy Sheriff Fisxel was the plaintiff this morning in a hearing helu he- fore Squire Haruish involving horse trade. Mr. Fiwel who was ted by J. L. Williams, testided that when he traded his pacing horse to 8.

Stain for a mare, Stein promised to redeem the animal for $250 within one week to six months if the mare had not recovered from soreness from which it was suffering at the time of the trade. The plaintiff testified thtt Stein had failed to live up to his part of the contract. Dr. Hudson testified that the mare had incurable ring bone on two front feet and one hind foot. W.

C. Sheely, attorney for Mr', Stein, entered an appeal without examining any witnesses, taking an exception to the ruling of the justice on a question which he had ruled out.

Stratton street. Brought by several of the excursions while regular trains were crowded. The Reading brought here and the Western Maryland 4384 while automobiles brought a great many Despite the thousands here there was almost no disorder. Western Maryand and Reading railroad detectives put a quick stop to the work of pickpockets which was started during the morning and ah a result three of the nimble fingered sleuths were soon in the custody of the officers while others who were here to carry en that kind of work were so frightened that they did not attempt to pursue their vocation. Hotels and automobile garages had a'l of tbe trade they could -handle and tbe day was one of the busiest Gettysburg has seen for several years.

It was decidedly busier than the usual guard week Sunday and many reaped a small harvest out of the day's proceeds. CAMP WAS SAFE Of the many thousand soldiers, both of the- regular army and organized militia, who were in the encampment at Gettysburg, i thp month of July three was only twenty six one thousandths of one precent of illness. This announcement was made by the War Department upon information contained in the reports of the medical officers of the camp which have been submitted to Brigadier General W. W. president of the Array War College, who was in command of the camp This is regarded as the lowest average of illness in a camp of instruction on record.

The report came from tbe medical officers of the army stationed -with the regulars and also from the medical officers of the various state organizations, as well as fro the camp medical staff. The smallest amount of illness was found to be among the regulars, which was to be expected. General Wotherapoon expressed surprise and doubt concerning the reports that the eight men of Troop Alary land cavalry, who nave been ill with typhuid fever since their return to Baltimore owed their illness to conditions in the Qettybsurg camp. "The report of the medical officers at the close of the period of the encampment of the Maryland militia showed the health to have been normal. said General Wotherspoon 'There was but little sickness.

There no typhoid fever that I recall. If the men were taken ill upon their return home I doubt much if it could be traced to the camp. It might be traced, however, to some neighborhood near the camp, as the men were given such liberty as their commanding officers saw fit, and many soldiers we low to have disregarded warnings as to drinking or eating at common places or from open -wells or streams I do not know that the Baltimore men did this, but if the militia authorities can learn that they did it would probably assist greatly in the question as to where they obtained the typhoid germs. have received no reports indicn ting that any place even out of t''n camp was unsafe, for if eig'-tMarykr men obtained tho germs it would seem that many others of other organi- would have met a like fate. If Cere had been any such illness de veloped in the regular army even after the encampment I would have known it, and there have been no reports from state organizations."

WeHs in Maneuver Area being inspected by Representative from State Department. of the Fourth Brigade was the principal attraction at Camp J. P. S. Qobin on Sunday and the spectacle on the bigparade ground was witnessed "by thousands of visitors who had come to see their friends in khaki.

The review was held by General Coryell late in the afternoon and proved one of the be.it features of the present camp. General Coryell and staff took their position in front of general and i i sion headquarters and the three regiments, the Fourth, Sixth and Eighth marched on the field in battalion for mation. Following a brigade parade the review was held'and was as iinpo? ing as those events usually prove be. RELIGIONS SERVICES Religious services were held in th majority of the regiments.

This stirring air of the church militant was uset all over camp on Sunday, the massed hands of the Fourth Brigade playing it as they marchedjand countermarched at the parade and review in the after noon. Many of the soldiers attended cburcl in town on Sunday and in several the local churches the men were seei in large numbers. The thousands of visitors i a swarmed over the camp grounds Sunday and hundreds of the i i i entertained relatives or friends. The review proved the big attraction and the big parade area was lined with rows of visitors when the spectacle took place. EXAMINING WELLS I THIRSTY BURGLARS BUST i Thirsty burglars broke into the Adams Express ottice, and also the baggage room at Blue Ridge Summit Thursday night, and also into a hag- gage car standing between the Summit and Fligbrield.

All that was taken was few bottles of liquor and medicine. Empty bottles showed that the liquor was consumed on the spot. It is supposed that the medicine was taken later to counteract the result. 17TH REGIMENT REUNION The 17tb Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry Association wilThold its t'oity fourth annual reunion at Gettysburg on Monday.

Ziegler, assistant engineer of the State Department of Health, a i i ed at Camp on Sunday upon request of officers at headquarters to inspect the wells on the maneuver area.

Eighi members MaryalndjNutional Guard have developed Typhoid Fever since their return from Gettysburg and it is generally supposed they got the disease dealing bacteria from wells from which they drank treely when hot and dry from the maneuvers To prevent a recurrence of I i trou ble the inspection is being made A number of the farmeis on whose lanuh the maneuvers are being held had typhoid in their a i i i the last few years and it is feared that the wells may have become contaminated.
