At meeting Of the board OF managers of the

connected with the management of the homes
were considered. There are now over 10000

larging the buildings belonging to the homes

Cincinnati; Gov. Martin, of Kansas: United
states Marshal McMahon, and Gen. Kilbourn,

mittee that audited the presidents accounts
was accepted. Gen. Franklin and Col A.
l.. Harris were appointed committee
to proceed to Hampton to inspect the new hos
pital building, which is nearly completed. They
will go tomorrow afternoon. The board will
probably pay their respects to the President
this afternoon. AS there was a quorum without
the President, they did not call upon him
earlier.
