GOT CAPTAINS TRAVEL PAY.
Unpleasant Action of Pay Depart
ment to Major Grant.
(San Francisco Chronicle }


The only unpleasant feature of the
muster cut was the treatment of Major
Grant by the pay department of the
army. He was told that the orders
were to pay him only captains travel
pay from here to Salt Lake. as the pay
master general had decided that as he
commanded only two batteries he could
not draw the travel bay of a major,
who should command four. The fact
that the major wears the gold leaves
OF full major, and that in :t.e organ
iZation of the Utah artillery it was or
dered that it be commanded by a ma
jor, was not considered. Neither was 1t
considered that for long time Major
Grant commanded troops enuogh in the
Philippines TO form the command of
lieutenant colonel; nor was his service
thought of. 1t was ordered that he be
allowed only a captains travel pay,
and that was all he received. The ma
Jor's wrath arose, not over the differ
ence in the pay, which amounts to but
very little, but in the smallness of the
decision. He says the government is
welcome to the extra money
Before Major Grant left camp he was
visited by Colonel Scott, adjutant of
the Pennsylvania regiment, who car
ried Colonel Barnett's compliments and
an offer of the escort of the Pennsyl-
wanna regiment, If Inc Titan men IN
tended TO march down 10 the ferry to-
day. The compliment was most deli
cate one. for. the Pennsylvanians and
the Utahns are old comrades. There
will be no parade, however, and Major
Grant could only express his apprecia-
ton of the courtesy. He sent word to
Colonel Barnett that he felt deeply
grateful for the offer to escort, and he
thanked the Pennsylvania regiment for
its exhibition Of comradeship. Lieuten-
ant Scott had hardly gone when word
came from the Nebraska regiment that
it would furnish a guard for the camp
and over all baggage left there last
night. This left the Utah men free to
go and come as they pleased, without
anxiety for their effects. The offer was
gratefully accepted.

WAL HALL'S MOTHER ARRIVES
STRICKEN WITH GRIEF BY HER
SONS DEATH.
Reared the Young Man In the Right
Way, But He Died Drunkard-
Coroner's Inquest.

The grief-stricken mother of young
Marshall D. Walthall, who was on
Thursday found dead in a cell Of the
city Jail. arrived at this city last night
In company with her niece. Mrs. Owens
of Colorado Springs. she went direct
from the Rio Grande Western depot TO
the Knutsford hotel. She was too
agitated to see her sons remains last
night, and no decision has as yet been
made as to their disposition. It is
probable, however. that they will be
shipped to Middletown, n. Y. and
placed in the family burial ground.
Mrs. Walthall is an elderly lady, and
her silver hair and white. carewOrn
face bespeak only too well the grief
she feels over her sons untimely death.
In her younger days. she had refused
the hand of a man because she feared
ne might become a drunkard. Her hus-
band died when Marshall was but a
mere boy, and all through his youth
and early manhood. it has been her
constant care to rear him right. But
now, after all these years, the caprice
of fate has brought her son 10 d
drunkard's death. The case is alto
gether a very pitiful one.
The inquest over the remains of
young Waithall was conducted by
Justice McMaster at 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning. with jury composed
of $. P Neve. Louis Hook and E. A.
Kessler.
Officer FitZmaurice first related the
circumstances surrounding the young
mans arrest, and Jailer Sol Kimball
stated that he knew practically Moth
ing of the circumstances. as he did not
see him until after his demise. During
dinner time he heard some groans. but
paid no attention to them. as such
noises. are of common Occurance among
the prisoners.
j. Knox Bodel. d clerk in the local
office of the Rio Grande Western said
that he had known young Walthall for
some time in New York and that the
deceased had always borne good
reputation.
John Smith and John GOrth, the two
prisoners who were by WalthalHs side
when he died. related the circum-
stances as reported in yesterday morn
ing's Herald.
The jury returned a verdict Of death
by natural causes; that excessive use
of alcohol had caused fatty degenera-
ton of the heart. The police officers
were exonerated from any blame in
the matter.
