TO BE MUSTERED OUT TOMORROW
The One Hundred and sixty-hrst In
diana VIII soon BE Citizens.


The One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana
Regiment will be mustered out of the serv-
ice tomorrow. The government knows
not one day from another when il comes
to handling troops or fighting battles, and
religious people can find no more TO be
shocked at in the selection of Sunday for
the muster out Of the regiment than exists
in the ordinary movement or management
OF troops on that day. Officers say there
is no official recognition in the army OF
Sunday as a day to be observed in way
that would prevent the muster out Of
regiment.
The matter of the transportation of the
regiment has been settled. and the origi-
nal plan of going to Washington by the
Plant System will he followed. In the
pool of the business the One Hundred and
SExiy-first was put down TO the CentraPs
credit, but it seemed there had been no
knowledge brought 10 The railway officials
notice Of the desire of the command to re-
turn via Washington. The regiment will
be reviewed in Washington by Gen. Alger
and Gen. CoFbin, and will be received by
the President in the grounds OF the White
House. The officers Of The command Will
be received later in the presidential man
sion.
The regiment will leave for Washington
tomorrow afternoon The muster out will
probably be completed by noon, and there
viii then be nothing for the troops TO do
but come into the city, and take the trans
for Washington Mai. Weiss, Mai Wallace
and Maj. May Will be the paymasters an
charge of the payment of the regiment.
The muster out of the regiment on Sun
day win mean that many of the merchants
of the city will not be able to reap the US
ual harvest that follows the discharge of
troops. However. many of the soldiers
have been coming into the city for days to
make purchases. They have selected the
articles they want and had them put
aside to be called for when they had got
their money. Some of the firms that have
put packag es aside in that way will make
their deliveries at the camp when the men
are mustered out Trucks win be sent out
with the goods, and the amounts due wiki
be collected from The soldiers
Merchants have hing of which 10 COM

been giving the half rate for soldiers mus
tered out or on furlough, the same clause
mas ptSn on tIle tlCketS, Dut no attention
has ever been paid to It. All that has been
necessary was the display of the furlough
or discharge papers if there were ever any
question. The precauuon does not in the
least interfere with a soldier making pur-
chases of clothing and donning it as soon
as mustered out They do not have to pack
it away in grips untH they can get home,
but can put 1t on here and go home in
civilians, as well as a soldiers suit. The
order is not a new one, but has prevailed
for months

TIME EXTENDED FOR DIGGING.
Drainage Contractors Get Until
Tuesday at Midnight to Wind Up.

Tuesday AT Midnight to Wind Up.
Tie house drainage contractors have
been granted an extension OF two days
after May j to complete that part of the
system mapped out for the second year.
The permit gives the contractors the right
to continue east on River street near West
Broad, until midnight Tuesday BY this
time 1t is expected the entire section viii
have been completed The work will not
be resumed until November.
1t docs not seem the city will be disap-
pointed in getting the system in condition
for immediate use. though there are a good
number OF flush tanks yet to be placed.
This viii prevent the use of the drains
through Bay lane and there are a number
Of Other lines to which connections cannot
be made on this account The Bryan
street sewer is ready for use. however,
the tanks being in place and in working
order. All that part of the system be-
tween West Broad, Zubley and the river is
completed and win be ready for use as
soon as the River street sewer IS ready.
Mr.. George j. Sargent who has been
connected with the work since II was COM
menced in Savannah has gone to New
in connection with the FIRMS large num-
Der of contracts. MIR. Sargent left earlier
than he expected. owing to the TACT there
was an urgent necessity for his services
elsewhere. While in Savannah he formed
many pleasant acquainiances. who will be
pleased to welcome him back in Novem-
Der. Supervising Engineer Chapman and
Mr.. L. b. Chapman will probably leave the
latter part of next week for New York,
and will be for some time at the firm
headquarters, No. 84 Broadway Il is
probable Mr.. Chapman will be connected
with house drainage work at Stockbridge
Mass.
The telephone and electric light com
pany are winding up their systems, and
will finish by Saturday night. There IS
possibility the Georgia Telephone Com
pany will not get through, owing to its
extensions beyond the original plan, and
for this reason, may have to follow the
drainage contractors in asking for few
DAYS grace. While there is a disposition
on The part of the city to show considera-
lion to the companies doing underground
work. attention is being called to the fact
the work must stop. and that extensions
are merely 10 save the companies from the
results of any miscalculations they may
have made

DISCHARGED SOLDIERS MAY COME.
sedgwick VIII Go to Nuevitas for
800 Who Are to Return.

1t is possible that another large detach-
ment of soldiers may be brought 10 Sa-
vannah. The transport Sedgwick is now
at sapeIo, undergoing fumigation. Upon
the completion of the process the vessel
will have to wait five days in detention.
She will come TO the city and be loaded
with lumber which she will carry to
Nuevitas.
The orders now are for the vessel TO
take aboard 1900 discharged soldiers at
Nucvitas to bring them back to this coun-
try. 1t seems there is some difficulty about
getting the discharged men into the port
of New York without their having to re-
main in detention camp Regiments may
enter the port without being detained, as
they are kept together, and go to camps
to remain until mustered out but the
health authorities consider that the dis
charged men would scatter abroad and
be much more likely to bring contaglon
into the country. For that reason, it is
probable Savannah may be the point to
which the men will be returned, and Dau-
fuskie the place of their detention. De-
tention camp on the island has already
been established, and it is an easier mat
ter to use Il than to establish a new one
at the North.
If the plan of bringing discharged SOL
diers TO Savannah is inaugurated in this
instance, it is believed 1t will be followed
in others, and that as many as 5000 dis
charged men may be brought through
this port.

Terminal Company Paying Rice
Field Wages for Island Work.
The Georgia and Alabama Terminal
Company employed a large number of adj
ditional laborers yesterday to take the
