that morning John DielfentGal, who works
for a farmer on Orange mountain,
while driving from Mont Clair to Orange,
saw a man leaning YEARLY againSt

from Orange to Mont Clair, ard is certain the
man was Delmonico. He haiiod D.eiie,ithal
and begged shelter. The farmer said the
Epeech Of the wayfarer was Sc thick he coulf
scarcely understand him. Demonico's
speech hal been thick since his
trouble came on. The night was
bitterly cold, but the farmer was
afraid Of tramps, and instead of taking the
man into his wagon drove ON after directing
Tim to Orange, a mite distant The wander
ings OF the unfortunate man from this point
can only be conjectured. He probably went
aimlessly along the road on the mountain
until overcome by cold and laid down and
was frozen TO death.
New YORK, Jan. L The announc elaent
Of the finding of the body produced great
excitement all over town. Mortified ave-

mile and a half to two miles from

one of the principal streets. of
Orange, extending from Main street for
miles over the mountain to st. Cloud and
by ~ayof the valley between the first and
second mountains, thence to the Passaic val

frequented by those who own carriages and
horses in Orange, but on Sunday, except
when the weather is very fine, the number
of travellers by the road is not
many 1t is therefore not regarded as
strange that the unfortunate man might,
after falling, have lain undiscovered until in
the morning. As Gen. Mcclellan, John
Cropsey Brown, George B. Hecker and other
prominent people live along this part Of
Mortified avenue, it is thought Del

A MAN FROM MANITOBA
Lieut.. Gov. Aikens says There Will
BE No Secession.

NO W. ~yVCCSssOHs
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.--Lieut. Gov. l. C..
Aikens, of Manitoba, passed through the
city on his way to Ottawa, accompanied by
his son, l. A. NJ. Aikens.
Speaking with reporter at the Grand
Pacific, the governor said that the recent
talk about the secession of Manitoba from
the Dominion of Canada was laughable.
1t had no foundation in fact, and had arisen
out of the dissatisfaction of certain people in
that province with their worldly lot The
truth was, this had been bad season for the
farmer, the early frost having injured tho
wheat, and, as an era of speculation had been
sweeping over that section, and no provision
had been made for rainy day, they wero
nl-prepared to meet bad luck Whenever
times were hard anywhere there was a dis
responsible and Manitoba was just like
any other place in that respect. The worst
grievances were heavy freight charges and
the fact that all the measures of purely local
interest tosManitoba were enacted at Ottawa
provicce. These things would be reInedied in
time. Already the Canadian Pacific had low
cred the freights rates 33}% per cent. Branch
roads would also be pushed into southern
Manitoba where more railroad facilites
were needed, and that would allay all com
plant among the farmers.
In regard to free trade between Manitoba
and the states, Gov Ailzens said he did not
believe the Dominion government would ever
consent to let Mani oba be an exception and
enjoy special privileges that other provinces
did not concur in. When there was complete
reciprocity between the Dominion and the
United States Manitoba would have it, and
not any sooner.
