A touching incident occurred tonight,
when the evening mail came into camp,
caused by the eaRerness with which Mr..
Scheidt begged for q newspaper in which
to read the account of hIs wIfe's death.
The poor man Is nearly broken-hearJed.
and his two little children do not realize
their loss, and are continually asking for
their mother.
The two officers of the Hamburg steam
ers here have been creating trouble by their
familiarity with female passengers. Gen.
Hamilton sent for them and gave them a
severe reprimand, and threatened to pun
ish them IL their conduct Is again COM
planned OF by the people In camp.
