The First Maine Artillery was mustered
out of the service at the camp on Dale av-

way home. The muster out did not be

there were very few sold. Heretofore
when regiments have been mustered out
there have been many tickets bought
from the improvised offices on the grounds
but the Maine battalion men managed to
get theirs in the city before or after they
were mustered out.
The Ocean Steamship Company was the
most successful of the transportation
companies that were trying for the bust
ness. Its representa- tive, MIR. W. G. Brew

number to Augusta on their way North,
but the biggest rail business was done by

An incident of Inc day at the camp was
the presentation of a handsome gold

they were glad to give him the cane as
a mark of their esteem. The cane was

Col Bel.inger Was down at quarantine

be mustered out at Savannah. The regi-
ment was one of those on the list to go
to Augusta but Col. Durbin and the
other Indiana officers were very we'll pleas

and were anxious for renewal of the
pleasant associations they had formed
here.
Col Durbin wanted to go into camp on
the same site on the Thunderbolt shell
road that his regiment occupied during its
former stay here but that was not OBJ

site on which the Forty-ninth Iowa Regi-
ment was camped. That is but a short
distance from the old location, and the
vicinity will be perfectly familiar to the
soldiers of the regiment.

COMPLAIN OF THE QUARANTINE.
Officers and Men Say They Lost Many
Articles of Value.

AFtAcAeS Oh Nulue.
Some Of the members of the Second Lou
isiana Regiment are complaining of the
loss of baggage at quarantine. The heavy
baggage of the command has been re-
ceived, and the men have found that
many of the articles their boxes or trunks
contained are missing. 1t is claimed that
there was much carelessness shown in
the handling of the baggage.
Officers and men of the Louisiana and
Virginia and other regiments accuse the
force at the quarantine station in no hon
eyed words of having made too free with
anything in the baggage that struck their
fancy. There is considerable feeling over
the matter, and some of the officers have
been heard to declare that something
should be done to recover the articles of
which they and their men were despoiled
or to punish those who took them Conn

undergone.
Private VI. C. Grvot of Company c of
the Second Louisiana is one of the losers
by carelessness or cupidity of some one
through whose hands his baggage passed.
He complains of the loss of a package
which he said was apparently feloniousIy
distracted from the box containing it, In
the package there were 900 brass checks
with two steel dies The soldier said the
bag looked as if it contained money. He
says he also lost a panama hat and a pair
of trousers, In the pockets of which there
were valua bles. These things he saws
were distracted from boxes and the boxes
were sent in with the things of no great
value they contained. All the things. he
said, were badly handled and seemed TO
have passed through the heavy rain storm
without any shelter.
Some of the officers who are losers by
the method of handling their baggage at
quarantine may call for a court of in
quiry to look into the matter Some
have been heard to express themselves "a
