JUST ONE DESERTER.
There is one deserter, Albert Emery, Of
Company B. He was furloughed in the
South and has not since appeared. His
home is at Brooklyn, N. Y, but he has
worked in Indianapolis.
The men made merry work fixing their
quarters in the RAIN Company c, first on
the grounds when the Presidents call was
issued, again was first. All of the COM
panies had arrived by the middle of the aft
ernoon. Plenty of straw was secured to
mako the horse barns comfortable for them
The boys, of the three Indianapolis COM
panieS were ordered TO return to their homes
for last night in order that crowding would
be spared. The rest built fires in the build
ings and after packing away their equip
ments, they kept away the dampness by
lowering around the blaze.
Col. Harry B. Smith drove out in the
morning and turned the command over TO
Lieutenant Colonel Thayer The colonel
was not well enough to attend to the de-
tails yesterday. Adjutant George Powell
was out bright and early and was busy all
day. Battalion Adjutant Lieutenant Po-

horse some time ago, hobbled through the
ment has rations SUFFICIENT Tor about two
days. There was some supplies not suitable
Tor use and board was appointed to pass
upon this. After the rations are out the
restaurant will furnish food. A room in the
fine arts building has been fittd UP for regi-
mental headquarters. The officers of the
regiment have asked that the surgical ex-
aminations be begun to-day. 1t is not prob
able, however, that arrangements can be
made. Major May arrived from Chicago to
take care OF the accounts. but does not be-
lieve he can do anthing for rev days. He
thinks, however, that the regiment will be
mustered out on Oct. 81.
Corps arrived In the morning. There were
about thirty-eight men who reported. The
time set for the muster out is Oct go
MUSTER OUT WORK SUSPENDED.
The work on the muster-out rolls of the
Observation-Disclosures fty-seventh Regiment
was suspended yesterday. Colonel May says
there are two reasons for this In the first
place, he wants the captains Of the COM
panies to receive instructions from Major
Cleland, the paymaster, upon the best man.
ner to make the reports accurate. In the
second place the disagreement concerning
the state clothing makes delay necessary
The second is a very important reason.
The captains are so unsatisfied with the
decision of the board of survey which fixed
the quantity and price of the supplies re-
ceived from the State. that there is some
pointed. Very strong efforts are being
made to secure the appointment of one. If
the efforts are successful a quiet but rigor-
GUS searching into the old accounts will be
tnstigated. 1t is doubtful if the work on
the rolls will be resumed Tomorrow
The surgical examination was also sus-
1T the musterng-out office. For some cause
the gas supply was cut off and the rooms
IN the fine arts building became very cold
Colonel May has practically decided to al
low the examination to be completed by the
present surgeons alone. There are no
facilities for two forces upon one regiment
One-hundred-and-f fty-eighth Regiment,
and the surgeons of the Northumberland
tifty-seventh will conduct the examination.
When the arrangements are complete about
one hundred men from each regiment can
be disposed of in one day.
The boys of the One-hundred- and fifty
seventh will now have plenty of work to
occupy their time. The following orders
