especially in the Tenth, Fourteenth and
Eighteenth Regiments. Company E, of the
Tenth, received the highest praise for the
condition of the hospital department. 1t

unlike a hospital. Surgeons McCandless.
Foster and johnson, of the Fourteenth, and
Brumbaugh and Robeson, of the Eleventh,

of their hospital quarters.
A JoHNsTowN SOCIETY.
A meeting of the staff officers of the guard
who were at Johnstown during the food and
rendered valuable services in the work of
relief, was held last night in the commits
sary department, near the Fourteenth Regi-
ment camp. Colonel Spangler, Commissary
General, was chosen Chairman, and Colonel
Patton Secretary. After considerable dis
cussion an organization was effected. All
officers of the Guard who were at Johnstown
are eligible to membership.
A tribute of respect was paid the press by
creating an honorary membership for the
correspondents who reported the flood whom
the association may elect. A committee
was appointed to secure list Of all the Of
fcers who were there, and another meeting
was held tonight, when the organization
was made permanent. Adjutant General
Hastings, Chaplain Mcguire and others
made addresses. That of the Adjutant Gen.
eral was spontaneous burst of sympathy
from the heart of the man who worked day
and night to bring order out of disorder.
FORGOT THEIR PASSES.
Quartermaster Hubbard, of the Four
teenth, had 20-mile horseback ride to
Lebanon and return last night. He sent
two of his men to the town for supplies and
they forgot to provide themselves with
passes. When they got to Lebanon they
were arrested and put in the guardhouse.
A message was sent to Lieutenant Hubbard,
who mounted his horse and rode to Lebanon
to have the men released. Captain Penny,
of Company G, and his company are play
ing in hard luck. Two of them were called
home yesterday to Pittsburg owing to deaths
in their families. Sergeant Oscar Logan
left this morning on account of the death of
his mother, and he had no sooner gone than
Private Gustave Wendell received tele-
gram informing him of the death of his
grandmother.
Colonel S. W. Hill, of Pittsburg, Quar-
termaster General, to-day issued the order
regarding the departure of the boys for
home. The news was received with great
delight by the men of the Guards,
who are already tired of camp life. Mount
