CAMP MEADE, Middletown, Pa, Sept.
1s-Fifteen typhoid fever cases were
shipped from the second division hospital
this evening to the charity hospital Nor
ristown, in a special car The patterns
were from the Two Hundred and First and
Two Hundred and Second New York
Fourth Missouri, First Rhode Island and
Second West Virginia regiments.
Chief Surgeon Girard believes the sick
do better in hospitals than in tents, and
has arranged to ship more away tomorrow
to Harrisburg and Philadelphia hospitals
There are 175 fever patients in the hospitals
and they will be taken as rapidly as they
can be moved.
Private Biston d. Danto. Company X

Detailed reports have heen received by
Col. Girard from the various regimental
surgeons on the health of their regiments

has been grea test it Is on the decrease
Most of the cases of typhoid fever and
malaria have been brought here from the
camps in the south and Camp Black, New
York
Col. Abbott of the First Rhode Island is
seriously i'll with typhoid fever at trc
home of friend in Middletown
The Fifteenth Michigan has moved on
the grounds vacated by the Twelfth Penn
sylvania, which starts tomorrow afternoon
for its home state to muster out. The
Michigan regiment takes the place of the
Twelfth in Gen. Corbins brigade of the
First division.
Chief Quartermaster Howard says the
Seventh Ohio, which has received orders
to muster out. will hardly get away before
Thursday. This will complete, for a while
at least, the movement of troops from
camp.
There is a strong probability that the
Fourteenth Pennsylvania will be the next
regiment to receive orders to muster out
on account of the trouble among the offlc-
ers.
The following medical officers have been
detailed as brigade surgeons:
First division-First brigade, D. A. Ran
nells, Seventh Ohio: Second brigade, a
M. johnson, Fourteenth Pennsylvania ::
Third brigade. c. E. Kauss, Eighth Penn
sylvania
Second divison-First brigade. Burton
S. Booth, Two Hundred and Third New
York; Second brigade, H. d. Kleebler;
Fourth Missouri; Third brigade, Lester s.
Hunt, First Rhode Island
The camp has become scattered so that
the scores of army teams have been forced
to work eighteen hours day. The long
hours are telling on the health of the
teamsters, and Col. Howard has asked the
war department for seventy-five additional
teams. He was advised today that fifteen
four-mule and ten two-horse teams would
be Immediately forwarded The water
system is being run into the camp of the
First Delaware and other outlying regi-
ments. Gen. Graham will wait until all
the regiments have been supplied before ex-
tending the system to corps headquarters.
