LVTLRE9TIX6 EXPERIENCE
Of Gettysburg Pilgrims? Col. "Bob's"
Thirst.
Gettysburg, Pa., Stpt. 29. ? Sev
eral West Virginia veterans who
came to Gettysburg for the dtdica
tion of the monuments erected by
the state here, had interesting ex
periences. In 1S63 the Eighty
seventh Pennsylvania regiment was
doing duty in and about Grafton,
W. Va., and were brigaded with the
Tenth West Virginia regiment.
The quartermaster ot the former
was James Hersh, since sheriff of
this county, and now living in Get
tysburg.
The quartermaster of the latter
was Major J. C. Gluck. Soon after
they were separated and they
had not seen each other for thirty
six years. Yesterday as the Second
West Virginia regiment of which
Mayor Gluck is now quartermaster,
marched up the streets of the town.
Captain Hersh recognized the pres
ent officer as his friend of war
times, so many years ago. They
embraced and have been recounting
many anecdotes and experiences of
those exciting days.
An interested spectator of yester
day's exercises ? be could not be a
participant, lor he was in the Con
federate service ? was Col. "Bob"
McEldowney, editor of the New
Martinsville Democrat. He arrived
in Gettysburg on the evening of
July i, '63, and remembered hav
ing secured a drink in a saloon then
kept in the basement of the Eagle
hotel. The colonel is not a drink
ing man, but he started out to find
his old establishment, saying if he
succeeded he thought he would
have to repeat the experience just
for association's sake and to keep
him from being lonely. He failed
in his search, and continued his
thirst of thirty-five years' standing.
Colonel Casteel received this
morning a change of orders which
permits the regiment to remain in
town over Sunday. On Monday
they go to York to remain a few
days during the York fair, and
thence to Camp Meade. The
soldiers spent the day on the battle
field, and this evening gave a dress
parade, which was witnessed by
Governor Atkinson, the battlefield
commissioners and a large con
course of citizens. The governor
delayed his departure for Baltimore
and will start in the morning.
Serious Case of Itching: and Bleeding
Piles Cnred.
For nearly a year X was afflicted
with itching and bleeding piles, and
was so bad that I could not sit
down without a great deal of pain.
I doctored and used all the different
kinds of pile medicine I could hear
of, without any benefit. Six months
ago I tried San-Cura Ointment; the
second application gave me great
relief, and half a bottle cured me
completely. I have had no trouble
since. M. W. Buchanan,
Titusville, Pa.
Sold by C. W. Grier.
Charles Carter, a prominent
young attorney of Pittsburg, who
has been in the city for several
days attending to some important
business, left today for home.
