William and Bernard Mooney. privates
In Company X of the 1st District Of Co.
lumbia Regiment, returned to their home,
152TR 18th street, yesterday afternoon.
Both boys show the result Of their hard
ships at the front. When they left the city
they were big, rugged, athletic men. now
they are emaciated and scarcely able to
drag themselves about. They tell of the
awful experiences through which they
passed, and complain bitterly of the treat
ment accorded the soldiers or the trans
ports.
Among other arrivals yesterday was Pri-
vate John H. MacHenry of Company q.
He came on sick furlough in care Of his
brother. For some time he has been i'll of
typhoid fever in the hospital at Montauk
Point. He is rapidly regaining his lost
strength.
Priyates Harry A. Shinn and p. Z.
Chamberlain of Company G arrived last
night over the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. They left Montauk Point the after
noon previous and remained in New York
Monday night. Both were in the hospital
at Camp Wikoff, from which they were fur
loughed. They are rapidly recuperating
and both expect to take their places in
line when the column of returning heroes
march down the avenue Friday morning.
A matter of special regret with the SICK
soldiers is that the order for the destruc-
ton of their clothing. upon reaching the
convalescent stage, included the relics they
had collected while abroad Private Shinn
had a great variety of souvenirs from the
Cuban territory, but upon inquiry for them
after receiving his new clothes. he was
informed that they had been sacrihced
with the rest of his outfit.
The returning convalescents speak in
highest praise of their reception at Mon
tauk Point, ard also of the treatment re-
ceiyed in hospital there. Every want was
supplied, and they had the best of care
from physicians and nurses.
Corporal James NJ. Petty. son of Mr..
]. T. Petty of 1881 o street, auditor OF the
District was brought home yesterday by
his parents from Montauk Point, N. Y,
where he had been with the balance of his
company of the District regiment. The
nardships of the Cuban campaign are clear
ly evident in the present condition of Corpo-
raj Petty. AT one time it was enormously
reported that he had attack of yellow
fever.
Private Tom Shafer of Tenleytown, who
was found by his mother and sister in a
New York hospital after long search, is
