"A recent letter from Detroit has this
reference to the eccentric ex-senator
Jones:
There was an animated scene, at tho Griswold
House this afternoon, the principal actors being
ex- Senator Jones, of Florida, and Postoffiae In
spector p O'Neil. The ex-senator has been
living with Mr. O'Neil for the last two years,
though he was a total stranger to Mr.. Neil TIL
Ee came to Detroit He has been given n home,
O'Neil told the ex-senator that he would like to
have the latter give up the room he was occu-
pying, as he wanted it for his daughter. ONeil
offered to hire another room for Jones
use for a couple of weeks, and raise a
purse OF $500 to take him home to Florida in
good style. The offer and request fer the room
were received with contempt by Jones, who
even went so TAR as TO write letter TO Bishop
Foley complaining that he was ordered out of
the house. The other morning O'Neil again
room Inc Jones Beeame angry, eSen SG ab1sve
O'Ntil tried TO reason with the erratic Floridan
aud get him TO consent to go bacI to Florida but
the latter would not Hslen and storned about
the Office of the hotel like madman. Sud-
denly no started out and walked up and down
the street, during the walk muJtcring TO himself
and shaking his head vicously. He refused to
state what his plans for tho future are.
There seems to be hitch in the pro-
cee1ings necessary for complete sur
render of all claim to the forfeited railroad
grants on the part of Michigan to the gen.
eral government. The resolution of relin-
quishment has been passed, but Gov.
Luce h not yet quit claimed the lands
to the United States. Some Upper PEN
insula men have been inclined to blame
the government for that delay, and in
compliance with many requests, Senator
T. B. Dunstan, of Hancock, wrote asking
for an explanation. In the absence of
the Governor, the letter was answered by
his private secretary. The letter in full
DEAR SIR-Your communication of septem-
Der g. with inclosure and copies of letters to the
Governor is ut hand. In his absence you will
| permi me to reply that the matter referred to,
namely the quit-caiming to the United States
| of the right, title and interest of Michigan to
the forfeited lands of the Marquette, Houghton
and Ontonagon Railroad Company and the On
| tonngon and Brule Railroad Company is one
| which has not been sleeping with the Governor
since the taking effect of the joint resolution
| OF the Legislature. He has been using every
oGort possible TO decide what shall and ought to
! be his action in the matter with regard to some
| OF the lands in controversy There perhaps is
no question as 70 n portion OF the lands, nor
that they should be quit-claimed to the United
States, but the difficulty with the Governor is
| in obtaining from the United States Government
n description of such lands.
1t is TO be regretted that there are those inter-
ested who feel that the Governor has been guilty
OF slackness or neglect in this matter. Many
letters have been written to the Departments
! of the United States Government for informa-
tion regarding this matter, and just soon
as the Governor can receive the desired data
upon which he can base an action he will
take immec late steps In the performance OF his
duty.
The Governor expects to visit the Upper Pc
ninsula the first OF October, and is using every
effort to ring the matters in question to a con-
clusion before that time.
An atrocious murder is reported from
Iron Mountain, the victim being Solo
mon Felch, an old and esteemed resi-
dent os Iron Mountain, the owner of the
Kirby House, veteran OF the late war, and
one of tho last survivors af the hardships
of the Andersonville prison. The mur-
derer was German, Charley .Steiglitz,
who was in the employ of Mr.. Felch on
the latter's homestead near Armstrong
Creek, twenty five miles from Iron Noun
tain, in Florence County, Wisconsin.
Mr.. Felch started from home to go TO his
farm, and met Stei glitz at the Armstrong
Greek Depot. The latter was in an in
toxicated condition, aud had some words
with Mr.. Felch, finally firing bullet from
a rifle into Mr.. Felch's head, killing him
instantly. The shot was heard by some
Indians in n camp close by, and three of
them came running upon the scene and
overpowered the murderer. He was taken
to the Marinette (Wis) Jail.
Michael Carina, an Italian miner.
was killed by fall of rock In the Calu-
met and Hecla mine.
