boundaries.

The most thoroughly contested meas.
urc in the Constitutional Convention
was the article on boundary; one party
contending for the extension over the
northern counties of Idaho, and the
other for submitting the question to
Congress, pledging the State to either
OF the present boundaries of the Terri
tory or that con.ended for. Dcnnison
leading the party who was for extend
ing the boundary Internationally, and
Larrnbcc the party tor accepting such
boundary as Congress might designate.
Three weeks Of the convention was ex.
pended on this question, when on IA
final vote, the I.arrabce party won by s
to 7.--Seattfe Dispatch.
That there was contest on the quos.
ton OF boundaries, is true, that it pccu.
pied three weeks of the Convention is
not true. Early in the Convention the
question was settled in favor Of the pres
ent proposed boundaries by vote of IL
to ., one not voting. A subsequent
question whether the Convention should
by its schedule indicate to Congress that
in case that body should sec fit to admit
the State without including the counties
OF northern Idaho, the people would
give their assent, was more closely con,
tested, altho' it occupied but short
time OF the Convention. Col. Larrabee
headed the party that wished for such
assent to be given, and Dennison was
prominent on the other side. Four DAYS
before the Convention adjourned vote
was taken which gave the Larrabee
party majority Of one. But when the
schedule was submitted with the assent
ing provision in it for final passage, it
was voted down by majority of one.
The same schedule, emitting that provis.
ion, was then introduced as new bill, the
rules were suspended and the schedule
passed on final vote by majority Of
ono. Dennison, Henry aud Hanna
from the Sound, always stood firmly in
favor Of taking the counties Of Idaho or
have no State under this Constitution.
The Eastern Washington delegation with
one exception, also at all times stood
firm upon this position, aud that one at
last came to the conclusion that the
counties Of Idaho must form part of
the State When she is to be admitted.
Snch was the only proper course to
adopt, it it was hoped or expected to in.
dace Congress to embrace these counties
within the boundaries of the State. In
fact the people of Eastern Washington
IN many localities had fully expressed
themselves averse to a State government
unless those counties could form part
, Of the new State. Our Puget Sound
friends will also be great gamers by this
arrangement, aud before twelve months
roll round they will be able to see the
wisdom of the policy adopted by the
Convention on the final vote, ii they
desired to embrace these counties of
Idaho under any circumstances, which
object thay all professed to seek through
their delegates in the Convention,

TOM LAWTON.

The Sacramento Bee has the following men
ton of Tom Lawton, the murderer of Tullis,
and probable clue to his late whereabouts {:
Len Harris, a special detective in the en-
ploy of the Central Pacific Railroad Company,
arrived i'll this city this morning from trip
over the eastern portion of the road. While
on duty there he made point of inquiry at
various places as to the possibility OF Tom
LawtOn having been seen, and was rewarded
in his search by meeting q gentleman who
had seen the man, supposed to be Lawton,
who had traded a watch to a Yaquero Ill
Paradise Valley, Nevada, as mentioned IN
last Saturday Be-. After obtaining from
the man he full description of the party,
which exactly corresponded with that given
Of Tom Lawton, officer Harris learned from
him the number of the watch which Lawton
had traded, with a view Of bringing it to this
city for the use OF the officers engaged in the
search. On arriving here Harris met Deputy
Sheriff Lee and informed him of what he had
learned during his trip through Nevada
Lee at once requested of Harris the number
of the watch, which given him, where
upon Lee exclaimed, My God that Tom
LawtOn, sure" and taking a memorandum
book from his pocket, Lee showed Harris the
same numbers, and stated that ne had them
IN his possession for some time, believing that
thev were the numbers on watch which
Lawton was supposed to have stolen from

soliciting for shirt mandatory IN the latter
place, and who was garrotted and robbed
several months since, at Twelfth and L streets
Steps have been taken to telegraph to officers

ascertaining the direction he has taken. The

THE SUICIDE OF AUSTIN.

San Francisco, Sept. II Some Of the re-
ports with regard to Austin have connected
his affairs with the bonanza firm. 1t has been
surnised the city money was on deposit with
the Nevada Bank. A rumor is to the effect
that Austin as a broker of the bonanza firm
awaited himself of knowledge obtained there
by to speculate on his own account, and as a
punishment the firm "cnched" hun. But
it is learned the firm have had no dealings
with him for the last twelve months, and at
no time was he their broker any more than
other brokers employed by them to sell or
buy for them. Great regret is generally ex-
pressed at Austin's suicide, and warm ex-
pressions of regard for deceased are heard on
all sides.
DR. McNulty, who attended Alex Austin
during his recent illness at the Occidental
Hotel positively denies that it was caused by
poison, but was in the nature of an apopietlc
stroke. His partners in the stock business
deny that he had been any WY badly treated
by the bonanza firm, as had been rumored.
They also state that of late deceased has
shown evidence of failing mental powers; that
he made mistakes in the board-wOUld buy
when ordered to sell, and vice versa They
are unaware of his having any money on
special deposit, and know nothing of the
funds belonging to the city. They say that
recently deceased had operated very little on
his own account, had been making no money,
and had oyerdrawn his account with the firm.

L. Bonstein, proprietor of Boca Beer Hall,
Commercial Row, had misadventure last
night shortly after II o'clock. He counted
the money in his till, *hich amounted to a
considerable sum, closed his doors and was
moving off toward home when he heard a
quick step behind him. He turned to SEQ
who was following him; and on the instant
received blow upon the left eye from cob
BILE stone The intention was to knock him
down but Dir. Bonstein was little too sturdy
and 80 far from falling, attempted to grapple
with the ruffian who had attacked him. The
footpad didn't want any fight and took to his
heels. Mr., Bonstein has big black eye to-
day, but he has the satisfaction of knowing
that the thief failed in the object of his attack.

distaece of eighteen feet. There was about

London, September ia frightful col

near Newport, Monmouthshire There were
81 men in the pit, ninety of whom have
been rescued. It is feared no others have
survived, as the pit is on fire. The body of

the remainder may be judged from the fact
that the explorers found fourteen horses dead
only few yards from the foot of the shaft.

The loss of life by the explosion is UMPIRE

deaths is estimated at $50. Two of the res
cued died from their burns and the others are
in precarious condition. There is not any
hope of rescuing any more alive, as the work

miles So far only about seven corpses have
been recovered. The explosion occurred
shortly after noon. Those on the bank knew
it by the rumbling noise and the ascent of

After all the hue and cry of the

about the frauds" prxcticed

now transpires that. while they
have not been able to show any
proof of their assertions, the most
damnable plots are being proved
against them. And, in the very in
stances where they have made
charges. have they become convict
ed Of being the criminals.
In Nntchitoches parish, where
they claim to have been outrage
ously intimidated. and where some
of the best citizens of the parish
have been arrested and dragged to
New Orleans, it is now shown that
the afidavits were made BY q man

to murder one of his neighbors. It
was not necessary to have taken
the parties arrested to New Or

might have been impartially tried,
and they were only taken TO that
place in order to hsrrsss aud per-
