The soldiers, Home at Dayton.

DAYTON, O., Aug. 5.-The congressional investigation of the Soldiers Home was con tinued to-day. A number of witnesses were heard. Evidence was produced to show that General Patrick, the governor of the institu- ton, has issued orders discriminating against certain saloons and these orders were carried out by under officers so as to drive all trade to one place, the proprietor of which is said to be on the bond of prominent officer. It was also shown that paralyzed man was put in prison because he could not find convey ance to get back at certain hour. Dr. Stephens, surgeon of the home, com plained of mismanagement at the hospital. He declared that there were too many ma irons who took up the room needed foEinvalids. He also found fault with the system of buy ing drugs in the open market instead of by competitive bids. Judge Haynes complimented Patricks administration and said he had been told that the com plaints were melted by politicians and sa- loonists. Hon. John A. McMahon testified to the general dissatisfaction among the in mates. Dr. Weaver, a former surgeon, said the general feeling is that Patricks discipline is too severe. He has made a garrison in stead of a home out of he institution.

A YOUNG LADS FORTUNE.

Endangered by His Mothers Unlawful
 Intimacy, Hut Saved by His Aunt's
 ShreWdness.
 BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 5.-Surrogate Jacob T. Bergen handed down his decision to-day in the matter of the application of Mrs. Jennie R. Joy, the sister of Mrs. Cath crime A. Valentine, the wealthy widow of Brewster Valentine. The application was for the appointment of guardian for the son of Mrs. Valentine. The boy is Ludlow w. Valentine and is nine years of age. Mrs. Joy says MT. Valentine at his death directed his executors to invest $15, ,OOO for the bene- fit of the boy, applying the income to his ed ucation and support during his minority. According to another provision of the will, Ludlow has 8 vested interest in $50, ,000 payable at the death of his mother Nearly three years ago Dr. Richard was employed by Mrs. Valentine as her phy sician. At this time she owned considerable property and supported her father, mother and brother. The petition alleges that soon after the doctor began his visits he acquired a great influence over the mind of Mrs Val entine and has continued his influence, it is alleged, over her. In November last, as al legged, he obtained from her the deed of her residence at Cranberry and Wilson streets. He has presented bills to the trustees of the estate for $395. 60, but when he presented a bill for $282.9O in July, 1883, the trustees refused to pay it. Mrs. Joy said that the life of Ludlow was unsafe while she was under the influence of the doctor. Surrogate Bergen says he has carefully reviewed all the testimony given and is of the opinion that an improper inti- macy has existed between the doctor and Mrs Valentine and that she is compelled to submit to his will; that the life and property of said infant would be more secure, he be lieves, if he were placed in the custody of some other person, and he therefore appoints one of the trustees guardian of Ludlow.

THE WRECKED HOTEL.
A Verdict Holding the Owners and
 Lessee Responsible.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The debris of the United States Hotel is now well cleared up and it is now reasonably certain that no bodies remain in the ruins. An investiga- tion of the causes leading to the accident was in progress to-day The drift of the testimony was to the effect that the proprie- tor knew that the building had been unsafe for two years past. A contractor who had been asked to repair the building testified that he refused to perform the work, as he was afraid to risk the lives of his men in and about the building. The coroner's jury this evening returned verdict recommending that the owners and lessee be presented to the grand jury. The owners are Judge Cox, who presided at the Guiteau trial, and MT. Follansbee, and the lessee is Mr. Belden, whose wife came near losing her life in the ruins. The verdict gives general satisfaction here

The chairman in introducing Mr. Schurz was frequently interrupted and with much difficulty concluded his remarks. MT. Schurz was, however, listened to with greater de- gree of attention, though some of his allu- sions to the candidates created considerable uproar His remarks were chiefly confined to an arraignment of MT.
