Homes for Disabled Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, April l3.-The
house committee on military affair
has had under consideration the bill
relating to the control Of the ma
tional homes for disabled soldiers
It prescribes the manner in which
the national board of control shall
be appointed. This bill was several
days ago reported to the house with
favorable recommendation. Yes
terday, Outhwaite, the chairman OF
the COMMITTEES on military affairs,
moved that the bill be returned to
the committee. Upon inquiring fol-
the reason of this action, il wat
learned that the military affair
committee has decided to vestigate
certain charges against Major George
III. Bonebrake, of Los Angeles, 9
member of the national board oi
governors. 1t is understood that
these chare es arise out of. the Tropl
cal Irrigation Company's suit, il
which Mr.. Bonebrake was involved
1t has been suggested that he re
sign, ut his friends declare that III
will not do so and has nothing t
fear from an investigation.

the door, so that his fiendish work
might be uninterrupted. Mrs.
Hancock, however, screamed at

She ran outside pursued 10y her hus-
hand, who had shaken the boy oil,
and was shot three times. One bull
let passed through the fleshy part Of
her hand, another lodged itself in
her back, and the third plowed its
way from the groin upwards and
came out at the breast.
She fell of course, and Hsncock,
thinking her dead, put one of the
revolvers to his heart and pulled the
trigger, killing himself instantly.
Mrs. Hancock was carefully at
tended, and Dr. Stevens says that,
in spite of her badly wounded con-
dition, she will live unless some uD-
looked. for exi9encies arise.
"It was amusing in a ghastly
way" he said, "to see the way in
which the people up there vented
their indignation upon the body OF
Hancock, whom they would have
hung again had there been any use
in it. They just put him, dressed in
an uDdershirt and trousers, into q
common dry-goods box and placed
him under the ground without the
semblauce of funeral service.

telegrem from Los Angeles details
the pro b bile death, on the sun
burned sands near Salton sea, of p,
T.. Doiap, ard J. X. Bell, of San
Francisco, while in search of the
lost Pegleg mine. The Pegleg is
one Of the most famous of the lost
mines of the coast. Through Coco
pah Indians the story has got out
that Doran and Bell have lost their
way, tracks believed to have been
theirs having been found. This APP
pears to be an error. William p.
Doran, brother of p. i. Doran, says
he does not believe the story. A

weeks ago, and since the Indians
were on the desert, has, he says,
been received by him. 1t told that
they were getting on all right, and
hoped to find the Pegleg. Their
trip had been rather rough, as most
trips are, but they were in excellent
health.

ington's Mother.

RICHMOND, April 13.-The Vir-

day heard argument in the case in.
volving the allegation that an option
had been given on a lot in which is
the grave of the mother Of George
Washington. The title of the case
is Kolbert & Kirtley VS., Sheperd,
from the circuit court of the city of
Fredericksburg. The records show
that February 20, 1889, the defendent,
Sheperd, gave Kolbert d Kirtley,
real estate firm of fredericksburg, an
option for the purchase of lot. The
sum mentioned was $20,500, which
was to include also a monument
which had been contributed by
New York man, but never COM
pleted. The real estate firm claim,
and the records bear out the claim,
that they found a purchaser for $780,
500 in q. Ii, Huntington, of BaIti-
more. The property was advertised
in various parts of the country, and
attracted considerable attention.
The result was that the people of
fredericksburg held mass meeting,
at which resolutions disappearing
the proposed sale of the sacred spot
were adopted, Sheperd refused to
accept S20,50e and to make a deed
for the lot. The result was dam
age suit instituted by the real estate
firm in the circuit court of Fred
erlcksburg. The decision is against
the plaintiffs, the court holding that
the spot containingthe grave of the
mother of Washington could not b.
II subj ct Of sale. This opinion will,
is believed, be substantially ap-
proved by the supreme court.
