Strange disease of a Colored Man.

Lucien Marble Monroe, colored. Of Vir-
ginia, is attracting attention in New York.
where he has zone in search of q relative.
He weighs but sixty.five pounds, and one Of
his lower limbs has the appearance OF be-
ing solid bone. He ia helpless, being unable
to either walk or use his arms. A reporter
learned from him that the disease first
manifested itself in 1857. when he was eight
years old, by a sharp pain near his lett
knee, and when An examination was made
it was found that the joint was so~lidifying.
The following year the malady extended
into the foot, and later in the same year to
the other leg. His joints then lost all power
OF motion, and gradually solidi6ed up TO
his neck. For fifteen years he suffered
greatly. but he has experienced no pain

What Became of the Diamonds?

GLOUCESTER. N. j., May "A man
identified as George F. Tombs, a promi.
nent citizen OF the Jersey shore, Pa, was
found this morning lying at the foot Of the
stairs leading to the upper stories OF a
boarding house kept by Melva Jackman.
He had a cash in the back OF his head and
died shortly after being found. Investiga.
ton revealed the fact that he went TO the
house Tuesday accompanied by a young
woman who gave her name as Miss Donald.
son. The woman stated they had gone to
their room late last night and about mid.
night he left the room and said he was 60
ing down stairs. Tombs was well dressed
and had on his person about $1,000 worth
of diamonds. The authorities are very
reticent about The matter and seem about
equally divided in the opinion as to
whether it is a casa OF accident or foul
play.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

There is n very important point to be
taken into consideration by the delegates
who shall be chosen ~ formulate q con-
stitution for the coming state of Mon
tana, and that is, that the convention
would better err on the side Of simplicity
than on that of complexity. The danger
is in overriding the matter to the extent
of so engaging the voters as to cause them
to reject the document. This would be
disastrous.
1t should be borne in mind that the
work of the convention is only prepara-
tory. The people must pass upon the
document that comes from the hands OF
this deliberative body, and the election
for this purpose will be. held Tuesday,
October 1. Should the constitution thus
prepared be acceptable TO the people, the
President, upon hearing of this fact, will
announce by proclamation the admission
Of Montana as a state. But should this
constitution be rejected by the people
which it will be, if not acceptable
statehood for Montana will be indefinitely
postponed.
A knowledge of these facts should in
fiuence the delegates to the coming con
ventlon, to act with moderation, rather
than with a rigorous application Of isms
and hobbies. A few simple general
basic principles would be much prefer
able to a plethora of arbitrary enact
ments. The latter would provoke more
or less contention and opposition
possibly sufficient to imperIl statehood;
while the former, from their very sim
plicity, would commend themselves to
the almost universal opinion.
The people want liberty. The constitu-
ton should promote general freedom and
encourage the broadcast thought and &C
ton. The people want actual vice re-
strained. There are crimes which are
such in themselves, and these need ro-
straining. But the people do not want
a document that manufactures crime Of
itself and then seeks to punish people for
offending against the same. There is
enough of the real article to deal with,
without foraging for the doubtful.
A constitution must be adopted, in
order to secure statehood. What is
lacked at first can be later supplied. The
first essential is statehood. Nothing
should be done to jeopardize that. Let
this point be borne in mind.

sign the bill just adopted BY the Legisla-
ture. The growing favor Of this system
shows the desire of the people for less cor
ruption in politics. One danger is that
people will expect too much Of the law,
ut once. It should be remembered that
the system has not been adopted In its
entirety, in any American state, but has
only been initiated, and perhaps feebly,
too, in some cases. Its working is not
yet understood, and no one should be dis
appointed IL it at first fails to entirely
clean the Augean stables. It needs to be
given q fair trial.

and zach warrant separately audited,
which involves a considerable amount OF
labor. but which has been prosecuted with
assiduity by the committee under the
craftsmanship Of Alderman Sergeant. In
the twelve hundred licenses issued during
the year the committee only found a vari-
ance between the books of the two officers
of a dollar and quarter which was traced
up and corrected. The committee will be
prepared to submit an ella borate report to
the City Council at its last meeting on
Monday afternoon of the financial exhibit
OF the city during the past year.
City Treasurer Cannon stated yesterday
that all warrants presented TO him during
the remainder Of his term OF Office will be

SHALL 1T BE A POLITICAL ISSUE

SHALL IT BE A POLITICAL ISSUE ?
The "Inter Mountain" declares that it
'cheerfully admits that the Democratic
nominees are nearly all respectable, fair
minded and patriotic citizens" 1t fur
Their testifes to the excellence of the
Democratic ticket in these words:
Against such men as stapleton, Dixon
and Clark, on the score of ability, no obiec-
ton need be urged. Mr.. Stapleton is II
clear.headed, shrewd, honorable gentleman
OF stainless professional integrity; Mr..
Dixon is q profound lawyer with a clean
record, and MIR. Clark is too well known ~
u successful business nan and president If
the last constitutional convention and
nominee for Congress last fall to need aay
introduction to the public.
ALI this Is very kind in the 'Inter
Mountain" and one must wonder how it
a find it in its conscience to make any
objection TO a ticket bearing such names.
Yet lit does make objection, and a few
sentences further along, warns its read
ers that the election of these gentlemen
SIS delegates to the constitutional con-
vention means, in the end, the overthrow
Of the American republic and a complete
relapse Of the people to barbarism!
The "Inter Mountain" then proceeds to
show that this sad result can be avoided
only by everybody voting the straight
Republican ticket. In fact, it Wig
nronsly endeayors to demonstrate
chat the present campaign is purely a
political one, in the narrowest signifi-
canoe Of that term.
THE MINER, in harmony with the gen.
eral feeling of the people, has advised the
wisdom of avoiding the introduction of
so-called political methods into this con-
stitutional canvass, and this sentiment
has found a favorable response in the
press throughout the territory. Dele
gates have been nominated in nearly al
districts on the broad principle Of per-
sonal fitness rather than political use
fulness, and to this end the Democrats
of Silver Bow county have selected their
candidates.
But the "Inter Mountain" now seeks to
overthrow this sentiment, and establish
in its place the reign of party malignity
and bitterness. Does that journal reflect
the sentiment OF its party in this mat
tel? This is doubtful. There is no need
of party issues; there are no spoils to dis
tribute, no rewards to make, and no axes
TO be ground. Minority representation
was determined upon in order to keep the
convention as well balanced as possible
in its political tendency. This idea
seems to be the aim of nearly all con-
,erned, and it is a matter Of regret that
,ven one journal has been found in the
Territory which seeks to make political

CRIMINAL
An Old Railroad Mans Story of the Recent
Wreck on the Grand Trunk.

1AnA cOOAy VI bh0 n6G6uG
Wreck on the Grand Trunk
CHICAGO, May 2.-George Mckenzie, a
railroad man OF long experience, made a
statement here to-day that neglect cruelty
augmented the horror Of the recent wreck
on the Grand Trunk railway. He also
believed many more people were killed than
reported.
Mckenzie went to the scene OF the wreck
to look after the body of q relative. He
says the accident occurred almost directly
above the edge OF the canal. A line OF men
with buckets could have brought plenty of
water to put out the fire in the wrecked
cars. The company's shops are only a few
hundred feet away, and plenty of men
might have been had to aid in pulling the
wrecked cars apart and extinguishing the
flames, but no such action was taken, and
the company did not even call out the
Hamilton fire department.
Mckenzie says the Grand Trunk heated
cars in the wrecked train, with the old
fashioned iron coal stoves, had no pro-
lection, and this, he thinks, accounts for
the speedy burning OF the train.

saw what had happened, stopped the train
as soon as possible. Stretched upon the
~cowcatcher, bruised, bleeding and ]insensi-
BILE, was Johnson, the colored driver. A
square below the crossing the horses were
found dead and gashed to pieces, lying close
together. The force OF the blow must have
been terrible, for the shoes were torn from
one OF them, and the other had q ley cut
off close to the trunk. Further up the
track the wagon was dashed to underwood
and was lying in a heap, and a few feet
away from it were the bodies OF Wambrath
and Du Engen. Close to them lay their
ftilow-passengers, Smith and Wilgers, who
were senseless. but the others, with the ex.

to die. The Others injured, five in, all are
reported to be getting along comfortably.

According to Chicago police state

have kindly notified the police of the
same, by means Of a blood-red secret cir

the police are right, for the masses dance
