"A recent letter from Detroit has this
reference to the eccentric ex-senator
Jones:
There was an animated scene at the Griswol1
House this afternoon, the principal actors being
eN- Sena, on Jones. Of Florida, and Postoffice In
spector u. ONeiL The ex-senator has been
living with Mr.. O Neil for the last two years,
and has been treated one of the family,
though he was total stranger TO Mr. O'Neil till
lie came TO Detroit. He has been given home,
clothes and money. Some two months ago Mr..
O'Neil told the ex-senator that he would like 10
have the latter give up the room he occu-
pying as he wanted il for his daughter ONeil
offered To hire another room Tor Jones
use for a couple Of weeks, and raise a
purse OF 500 TO take him home to flolila in
good ,yle. The oitlr and request fer the room
were received with contempt by Jones, who
even went ar TO write letter To Bishop
Foley complaining that ho was ordered out Of
the house The other morning O'Neil again
told the ex-senator that he must yacate the
room. Jones became angry, even abusive.
O'Neil tried 10 reason With he erratic / loridan
aud GET him 10 consent 10 60 baca to Florida, but
the latter would not listen AMI stormed about
the Office OF the hotel like madman. Sud
denly he started cut and walked up and down
the street during the walk muttCring TO himself
and shaking bis head yiciously. He refused To
state VIA his plans for the future are.
There seems 10 be hitch in the pro-
ceeaings necessary for a complete sur
render of all claim to the forfeited railroad
grants or the part of Michigan to the gen
eral government The resolution of relin-
punishment has been passed, but Gov.
Luce h 5 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
+. b. Dunstnn, 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
is as follows
DEAR SR-Your communication OF Septem-
Der g. With inclOsure and copies OF letters 10 the
/ Governor. Is at hand. In his absence YOU will
/ p, rlni me 10 reply thai the matter referred TO,
namely, tn quit-caiming 10 the United States
| o, the n lht title and interest of Michigan to
| the forfeited lands OF the Marquette HoughtOn
and Ontonagon Railroad Company and the on
tonnage and Brule Railroad Company, is one
| which has not been sleeping with tho Governor
| since the taking effect OF the Joint resolution
! OF the Legislature. He has been using every
easort possible to decide what shall aud ought 10
! be his action in the matter with regard 10 some
OF the lands in controversy. There perhaps is
/ no question as to n portion Of the lands, nor
/ that they should be quit-claimed 10 the United
/ States. but the difficulty with the Governor is
| in obtaining from the United States Government
| description Of such lands.
1t il 10 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-
| tlOn regarding TINS matter, ana Just as soon
as the Governor can receive the desired data
upon which he can base an action he will
/ take immediate steps IN the performance OF his
| duty.
The Governor expects 20 visit the Upper Pc
ninsala the first of October, and is using every
effort 10 ring the matters in question TO a con-
ciusion before that time.
An atrocious murder is reported from
Iron Mountain, the victim being Solo
mon Fech. an old and esteemed resi-
dent of Iron Mountain, the owner of the
Kirby House, veteran OF the late war, and
one of the last survivors af the hardships
of the Andersonville prison. The muir.
derer was a German, Charley Steiglitz
who was in the employ of Mr.. Felch or

Creek, twenty five miles from Iron Noun.
tain, in Florence County, Wisconsin
Mr.. Felch started from home to go to his
farm, and met Steiglitz at the Armstrong
Greek Depot. The latter was in an in.
toxicated condition, and had some words
with Mr.. Felch, finally firing bullet from
a rifle into Mr.. Felch's head, killing hin
instantly. The shot was heard by some
Indians in q camp close by, and three o.
