In support of these resolutions Judge
Campbell made an address. reasoning thus;

The convention derived its powers from an act
Of the territorial legislature, which authorized it
to frame constitution for tho State Of Dakota
south Of the forty-slxth parallel and to form q
state government. just as many other territories
have done before, in each Of which the officers
elected hereunder had become bona fide state
officers. sfterward ratified by congress. With
the restraining section attached to the constitu-
tion the entire work Of the convention is nulll-

prevented. The crisis now was reached when

that he had told me the result, scanned
my face carefully and questioned me as
to my having found any calculation of

my knowledge, and gave the paper back

such Il manner; though if l had any sus-

Market square, and in the speakers opinion
q vote by the people would have good et-
1ect II need be the question can be taken
into politics, and the fight in the next munl-
eIpa1r p y election can be made on this question.
Dr. Gordon believed that the legal voters
would vote in favor Of this site. Let us say
to the city council there is a power behind
you which will make you do this thing or
drive you out. Let us say to them, act indi-
vidually and upon the evidence and the
people will support you The people are
tired of this delay. They have given $4,000
and are asking why the committee has not
done more. You see what has been done,
and it has been hard work. Now some def
mite place of action is wanted.
Mr.. Thomas Shaw expressed himself In
favor of the site in Market Square.
On motion of Mr.. Strickland a committee
of three was appointed by the chair to nom
mate officers. As that committee the chair
appointed Messrs. Strickland, Geo. e. BrowlI
and l.. M. Cousens.
President Brown said that it seemed to
him to be well that vote in reference to the
recommendations of the committee In regard
to the site be passed and placed upon record.
The committee on nomination reported
the following list of officers, and 1t was
voted that the secretary cast the vote OF the
association for them:
President-John M. Brown.
- wee Presidents-Seth L. Gordon, w. ). Dana,
H. s. Meleher.
Recording Secretary-Chas. W. Roberts.
corresponding Seeretary-John II. Fogg.
Treasurer-H. w. Hersey.
FIJI. Finance C9mmittee-W II. Green, @. p Mat
tOcks, Chas. II. Boyd
Committee on Design-H, b. Brown, H. W.
Richardson p. H. Brown. +. IL. Fassett, J. p.
Baxter.
Mr.. John II. Fogg thought it advisable to
take the vote recommended by the President
and moved that all those in favor of tho
selection of Market Square as the site OF the
monument rise. The vote was nearly unanl-
nous, only two rising in opposition.
MIR. Chas. Somerby who voted no, was
not afraid to be in minority and said that
he thought some quieter spot for the mOnu-
ment would be pleasanter than Market
Square, and voted as he did for this reason.
Mr.. W. I'll. Soule moved that the City
Government be requested to provide at the
various polling places in the next municipal
election yes and no votes on this question
and the wardens be requested to instruct the
voters as to the intent OF the vote. Mayor
Deer1ng offered an amendment that the
wardens instruct the voters by advertising
or in other ways, that voting the "yeS"
ticket meant that the monument be erected
in the square. voting the mo" that it be not
erected there. The amendment was accepted
and the motion passed
Mr.. W. s. Dana questioned whether the
members of the City Government would
the association would not fail to push the
project ON this account
It was moved and voted that the executive
committee be requested and instructed to
carry out the vote of the association.
The President thanked the members for
their confidence as expressed by his re-
election and said that he hoped to see the
monument erected.
The meeting then adjourned.

FROM MAINE TO COLORADO.
Happy Prospects for Family Whose
Members Have Been Long Sep
1r7faH

WoBURN, Mass, Jan. 1l-Hattie and
Minnie E. Taylor left this afternoon for Col
orado. Both of these young ladies have
lived here for about three years The chill
dren, five in number, of which the above
named girls form part, were born and reared
in Machias, Me. When the children were
young, the husband and father deserted
them, and for many years no word was
heard from him, and he was given up for
dead. Three years after his disappear
ance the mother died of consumption, and
the children grew up with marked signs of
the dread disease. They separated, one go
ing to California, one to Minnesota and one
to this town, and in after years two other
sisters followed the married one to this place.
Those who had gone to the West were the
brothers, and both went seeking climate
which would restore their health. Last July
a letter was received by an old citizen of Ma
chias, from the father of these children, ask
ing their whereabouts, and soon he was in
communication with them After wander
ing from one place to another he had finally
settled in Colorado, and becoming well to do,
determined to get his family together again,
and with this view made arrangements with
the unmarried daughters to join him at his
home. The brothers in the distant part of
the country will soon join them also.

Loss of the Schooner Seabird of
Ellsworth

RIVER HEAD, L. l., Jan. 11.-Schooner
Seabird of Ellsworth, Me-, which cleared
from New York for Providence, r. l., jan
uary Q. with a cargo of iron went ashore yes
terday at Fresh Ponds, six miles from this
village. The captain and crew were saved
by D. H. Corwin, a farmer who saw the sig
nal of distress flying from the vessel, which
he discovered with the aid of glass was
disabled and those on board evidently una
bic to get off Corwin lost no time in getting
out his boat and rowing to the vessel which
was covered with ice from keel to topmaSt,
the sails were frozen stiff and immense ici-
cles were hanging from the rigging. When
he reached her he found Captain Haskell
and the crew of four men lying exhausted
and almost frozen to death in the cabin. He
assisted them into his boat and rowed them
ashore and then conveyed them to his Ofing
They were half starved and ate plentifully
of the good things set before them. Capt.
Haskell gives the following story of the dis
aster and its causes He said:
ssWe left Jersey City for Providence Thursday,
and made good sailing until when off Northpor
Saturday when we encountered a terrible snow
storm, the wind blowing hurricane and we
cOulu not tell Nu6rb We were utduiuS. luC oost
wa high and huge waves washed over our decks
carrying away our yawl and one of the matches:
Then we found the vessel had sprung a leak and
we threw about 40 tons of iron overheard, and
cast two anchors, but both chains parted after a
few hours and we were driven ashore, but too far
from dry land to reach it without boat and as
ours had been lost we were helpless freezing and
starving until the good farmer Corwin came to
our rescue
The Seabird will be a total loss. The spot
where the veseel lies is one of the least fire.
quented ON the sound coast of Long, and but
for Corwin's timely appearance, the captain
and crew would certainly have died of ex-
posure and exhaustion.
