SOLDIERS HOME SCANDAL.

The Milwaukee Home Alleged to be Run
BADLY Managed.
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 22-Ths Sentinel will
publish to- morrow morning an account of
the visit of the board of managers of ma
tional soldiers homes to the Milwaukee
branch on Friday last, giving in detail the
movements of the inspectors while on the
ground, and showing up the superfciality
of the inspection. This will be followed
by charges to the effect that the home is
run by ring, consisting of the provost
sergeant, quartermaster sergeant, commits
sary sergeant and engineer. 1t will be
shown that Gen. Sharpe is perfectly help
less from paralysis, unable to see or hear
except with the greatest difficulty; that
the veterans are never allowed to reach
him with complaints for fear excitement
may kill him; that Provost Sergeant Hill
is tyrannical and inficts guard house Pun
ishment for minor offences; that the sur
geon of the hospital is incompetent and
has never performed an operation ON an
inmate since his appointment though men
were obliged to have surgical operations
performed by city physicians; chat the
farm on the home grounds has gone to
ruin because of insufficient management
and will also give room
to special complaints by in
mates of the hospital who have been
forced to make beds and clean cuspidores
when at the po1Et of death. The officials
themselves deny everything in interviews
on these subjects.

TRAGMAs, Tex, Sept. 22.-Nine deaths
from yellow fever were reported in the
last twenty-four hours. The thermometer
raised to 81 and fears are entertained that
under the great heat and filthy condition
of the streets the fever will increase and
spread. Eleven new cases were reported
yesterday. Not enough rain fell to clear
the streets and the hot sun has tended to
increase deaths and malaria. The new
cases have driven the people almost fran
tio-not knowing whether they should fee
from the city or remain in hope the worst
had passed. The members of the board
of health have proved utterly incompetent
to deal with the matter. It is rumorad
that Delvalle, a millionaire of this city,
who fled to the country, has died. No news
from Hermasillo.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Capt. Caverly,
of the steamship Coleman. who touched
of Mazatlan on the way up from Panama,
speaking Of the yellow fever on the
Mexican coast, confirms reports of the
burial Of dead by band of hired Indians
who, he says, roamed from house to house
gathering corPses as a garbage man would
make his rounds. This resulted in many
persons being buried alive. In one case
man taken up for dead was carted away
and buried in less than half an hour. It
vas rumored that noise was heard in the
box as it was being oarted Of. Friends
hearing this went TO the cemetery, dis
inferred the remains and found the body
turned over from agony of sufocation.
Information from private sources states
there have been 800 deaths in Mazatlan
during the last six weeks.

TIE Ne,cs IN. st. Peal,

GLOBE representative called upon
Commodore Davidson, president and chief
owner of the Packet company, at his resi-
dence on Jackson street, last evening to as
certain further particulars. The Commo-
dore said he had no news beyond a brief
telegram announcing the burning. The
boat had been running the entire season in
the trade between St. Louis and Keokuk,
until within about week, when
she had been laid up on account
Of low We r. If the stage of water i'm
proved it was the intention to put her in
service again this fall. The commodore
said the Gem City was brought out in
June, 1881, and cost between 100000 and
$4,000. He carried fire risks on his boats,
but could not tell the specific amount
on the Gem City. The kilograms to the
papers really gave more information of
the disaster than he had
himself. Re said, however, that
she had made record which no other
boat had ever secured, in that she made
eleven round trips from st. Paul to St.
Louis in eleven weeks. The distance lis
800 miles, making the round trip 1000
miles or an aggregate of 1860 miles in
the time named. The first six of these
trips were made with the Commodore in
command in person.
The Gem City made her first appear
ance in st. Paul on the Oath of June, 1881.
Her advent was hailed by large attend
ance of citizens, who gave Commodore
Davidson and his new boat hearty greet
ing. She was by all odds the finest boat
which had ever reached this port and was
literally thronged with pleasure travel
during the season of 1881. The City of
st. Paul, which Commodore Davidson
brought out the present sea-
son, is almost her counterpart.
The Gem City was 800 feet long, thirty
six feet beam and six foot held. She
could accommodate 224 cabin passengers
and during her first trip to st. Paul her
register showed that 2S6 had taken some
portion Or the trip and 100 came through
from st. Louis to st. Paul. Upon reach
ing the st. Paul Ievee ana address of
welcome was delivered by DR.. Day, fol-
lowed by Mayor Rice and City Attorney,
Murray to which Commodore Davidson
made fitting response. A short
excursion trip followed, and every citizen
felt local pride in the boat, as they will
feel local loss N her destruction. The
low water both last season and this hasipre-
vented her visits to st. Paul, but she has
done an immense business on the lower
river.

PRE-ENPTORS' RIGHTS.
The Right TO Mortgage Property Before
the Final Papers are Issued, Affirmed.

The Right 70 Mortgage Property Before
the Final Papers are Issued, Affirmed.
A decision was rendered by Judge Mel
son, of the United States circuit court yes
terday, important to property holders of
this city and state, in which the principle
is asserted Of pre-emptors right to mort
gage property before haYing possession of
the final papers. The suit was brought
by Thos. 3. Devices against
Henry Wilson, ct al, to foreclose
mortgage. In September, 1867, the de-
fendent Wilson filed his statement as q
pre-emptor of the land in controversy
subsequently he proved up under the pre-
emption law in 1873, the action of the
register being affirmed, on appeal to the
secretary of the interior the land being
awarded to the Hastings & Dakota Rail
road company in 1874. In 1879 the rail
road company relinquished all claim to
the land and Wilson entered it as a home
stead.
G-lAftar theg presumption Wilson execut-
ed the mortgage under an agreement en-
tered int with Kelly, an agent of the rail
road company, who agreed to procure g
VA SAho SOtL pony CHILLI al
Wilson's behalf and to procure the patent
for him from the government; Kelly Sc
cured the release from the company and
the patent was issued to Wilson. The
notes and mortgage are now
owned by the complainant
and Wilson resists the foreclosure. The
court holds in giving his decision. that the
only point worthy CT consideration is
whether the mortgage is void under the
homestead acts. The presumption fling has
been cancelled and the Hastings 6 Dakota
Railroad company WAS entitled to the
land. In regard 20 the ques-
ton of prohibition to mortgage
by section of the homestead act, the
court followed an Iowa decision, which
holds that this section does not disable the
settler from mortgagiDg his homestead be-
fore the patent issues. at tho time the
mortgage was executed, Wilson, although
his presumption filing had been cancelled,
continued to reside upon the land, and had
been settler for more than five years,
which gave him right to prove up, on
REIMBURSEMENT by the railroad company
of all claim thereto. 4 decree will be en-
tered in favor of complainant, as prayed
for,
