DECISION REACHED
In the Case Of Manufacturers Marine
and Fire lns. Co. VS.. Frederick
Yates.
PORTLAND, Oct. s.

PORTLAND, Oct. s.
In the United States Circuit Court before
Judges Colt and Webb, today, a decision was
reached in the case of Manufacturers Marine
and Fire Insurance Company VS.. Frederick
Yates. This was an action on $1,000 policy
on the Yates House at Biddeford Pool. The
company defended on the ground that the
house had been enlarged and altered without
consent, so that the risk was increased. The
plaintiff showed that he had paid for a permit
to one f. j. Goodwin, and was told that the
permit had been granted and mislaid. The
company denied that Goodwin was ever their
agent and said that they had never received
the original premium. At the conclusion of
the plaintiffs testimony the court ordered
the jury to return verdict for the defendant.
The case was tried at last April term. The
verdict at that time was for the plaintiff, but
was subsequently set aside by the court.

SM ALL POX.
Extraordinary Charges Made Against the
Management OF the Hospital.
MONTREAL. Oct. S

MONTREAL, Oct. 8.
Some very damaging statements in regard
to the system of treating small pox patients
in the hospital have been made by two ex-
inmates. They say the patients are crowded
together in the same beds, mild cases with
bad ones. The dirt and filth and bad smells
in the wards are terrible. Clothing furnished
the patients is very scanty and the attendance
abomniable. The patients change their own
clothes as long as they are able, and when
they are too weak to do it those patients who
are strong enough to go about do it for them.
Patients are often ill during the night and
need attendance, but no nurses are about.
and no matter how loudly the patient may
knock no assistance is given. The patients
sometimes have to wait an hour for drink,
and those whose eyes are closed by the disease
sometimes beg for long time for a lotion
that is used to wash them before getting it,
Soon as the patient dies the body is sewed
up in sheet and thrown on the floor to be
removed at some future time. The hospital
officials deny the charges, which are being
investigated by the authorities.

Report ofthe Board Appointed to Inves.

the Organization Of the Mare Island
Navv fard-Explosiono of Flood Rock
TO Take Place on Sunday Next.
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.
The report OF the navy board, appointed to
investigate the cost of the construction of
the Mohican and the organization of the
Mare Island navy yard at California. has
been furnished for publication. The board
finds that the original Mohican was placed
out of commission at the Mare Island navy
yard, June 25th. 1872. After that S62SS was
expended on her and she subsequently, sunk
on the mud flats. In September, 1872, BY
the authority of Naval Constructor Hanscomb
a completely new vessel was commenced. also
called the Mohican, from plans and speci6-
cations entirely different from the original
Mohican. The order by which the new ves-
sci was commenced, was without the author
ity of law or any legal appropriation that the
board could discover, and WAS simply an or
der from the chief Of the bureau of construc-
tion and repairs to the commandant at the
Mare Island navy yard. This order directed
the reconstruction of the Mohican, notw it'll
standing the plans and specifications were
for new and different kind of vessel.
Although the keel of the new vessel was laid
in November, 1872, the framing was not
commenced until January, 1874. and during
that period S52 ,0S1 was expended for labor
and material, and charges for labor aud ma

Naval Constructor j. Feaster makes a minor
ity report in which he expresses the opin,on
that the navy department and not the bureau

work carried on without provision by Con-
gress. Deducting the differences between
the cost of labor and material at Mare Island
and at the eastern navy wards, he thinks il
will bring down the cost of the new Mobican
to about 1896 200, which compares favorable
with the cost Of similar vessels built in the
eastern navy wards
