'A The elaborate older juibliHliocl
Muno tlini1 ago from corps headquar
ters to the effect that no furloughs
phould lie kIvcii which would termin
ate later than the .".Int of neeember,
ha come to nmiKht. At that tiui, !t
was exjict'ted that a movement uhh
In Immediate i-onteiniilatlon. Thcre
t'oio ivndeiltiK It necessary to have all
available men present for duty; that
for sonic reat'ou, or other, this necessity
no longer exists, is evident from the
fact that furhaichs are attain bclntr
issuel. This Is ilfeideUly inizzllnpr, and
the hoys are very much Inclined to ask
themselves "where they are at."
Private James Williams, of Company
C has received an honorable iliscliaiKe
from the wrvleo of the t'nltod States,
and left for his home In Hcranton Fri
day. Private Williams' alllllation with
the regiment has been ended under
circumstances which are very nniih
resretteil by his friends. He came to
camp with the second quota of volun
teers, nnd was sworn In at Camp Al
rci Virginia, on the 13th of last Juno
with several oilier lecrults. He was
then In line physical health, but, soon
after the regiment had moved to Dunn
Lorlng, he was" taken sick. About the
middle of Aucust he was, with many
other patients of the Thirteenth, taken
to Philadelphia on a hospital tialn,
and placed In the Medlco-Chlrurgieal
hospital for treatment.
Hy this time a severe case of typhoid
fever had developed. and the
patient had quite a narrow escape. He
recovered, however, but during the
height of the fever, the drum of his
left car became perforated and was
practically destroyed. The right ear
nlso was slightly damaged. As a result,
his discharge from the service was
recommended, and, after having gone
through the usual routine, it was re
ceived this morning.
Private Williams' acquaintance In
camp and especially his many friends
in C company, slnceiely regret ths
cause which lia aeaarnted him from
them, and wished him every success
when he was leaving today. Prlvato
Williams lives with his parents on Ce
dar avenue, South Side.
RETURN FROM SICK LKAVE.
Privates" Jlartln Ilowley and John
Alalia, of C, have returned to camp af
ter an extended absence on sick fur
lough. Roth were typhoid patients, the
former having been taken sick at
Camp Alger In the early part of Au
gust, and the latter at Camp Meade
near the end of September. Private
Hawley was tlrst placed In the Divis
ion Hospital, nnd removed to Philadel
phia later on. For a time his case was
desperate. Private Malta was removed
from the Division Hospital, Camp
Meade, to the Oermantown hospital,
Philadelphia. Roth received a warm
welcome on their return, nnd ate de
lighted with the climate of this1 legion.
Acting Assistant Surgeon F. M,
Oreen, of the United States army, has
been appointed to succeed Major
Woodhridge. to mnke the physical ex
aminations of men of this Rrlgade who
have been discharged from the service.
Thursday moinlng the order was
published In every company street to
the effect that the men should at onco
clean and oil the old Springflelds. re
talnlng the gun flings for the new
rifle, and then hold themselves in
readiness to be marched to the arsenal
to deposit there the antiquated "shoot
ing irons" Willi which they have been
equipped up to the present time. It
was naturally expected that the trans
ition from the old to the new style
would take place nt once, but the hoys
have been disappointed and w ill likely
have to wait several days yet before
anything is done In thlp matter. Quar
termaster Cox is awaiting Instructions
from the higher authorities, and until
word Is lecelved from that source,
nothing will be done.

In the meantime, the boys are suf
feilng grievously from curiosity un
satisfied. They nil are most anxious to
get tho Krag-Jorgonsens or "Jack
Robinsons," as they aro now famil
iarly called In order to see what they
look like and how they act. These
momentous questions are discussed at
mess, lu the tents, on the streets, nt
drillseverywhere and at all times
ind It is always possible to see groups
ot the boys loitering around the com
missary, and even sitting upon the
softln-llko boxes which contain the
rifles, dlsctisslnar the very Important
topic.
