TO RUIN JEROME AVENUE.

A SCHEME TO BUILD A SURFACE RAILROAD IN
TIE BEAUTIFUL DRIVING ROAD.
Another surface railroad for this city is pro-
posed On Tuesday articles of incorporation of
the Jerome Avenue Railroad Company were filed
with the Secretary of State, and on the same day
the Board of Aldermen was petitiOned for per-
mission to construct and operate the proposed
line. The capital Of the company is 1000 and
the incorporators are J. Romaine Brown, Dresi-
dent William B. Whitney, Frank Yoran, Henry
Campbell, Moses Mehrback James III. Sullivan,
William Chapman, John Whaen, Thomas T..
Crimmins, Hugh n. Camp, Richard A. Cunning
ham and d. Lowber Smith.
II the scheme is carried through the famous
driving road to jerome Park will be ruined for
purposes of pleasure. The proposed route is from
McComb's-D Dam bridge along Jeromeave. to Wood
lawn Cemetery 1t will be double tracked and
operated by cable The distance is five miles.
The petition of the company was presented to
the Board of Aldermen by Alderman Carlin, who
offered a resolution that the subject be first con-
,idered by the Board on September 3. Alderman
Rinckhon made "A motion to refer it to the COM
mittee on railroads This was voted down and
the petition and Alderman Carlins resolution
we're laid over.
When it became known that it was pro-
posed to spoil Jerome-ave. by the construc-
tion and operation of railroad there was
considerable Indignation expressed by owners of
horses. They have long been accustomed TO use
the road as the most direct route to jerome Park,
and many horses have shown their speed on IL.
IL is not improbable that the new company will
have to overcome great deal of opposition from
this class of people, for it is not thought that they
v'lIl i've up their fine drive without hot fight.
Nlgvor Grant, it is believed, will oppose the
scheme. as he is not inclined to let railroad COM
panics control all the best streets i'll the upper
district Nearly all the cOrporatorS OF the com,
many were said TO be out of town yesterday, ana
hose who were seen declined to speak of the sub
iect referring all inquirers to Luke f. Cozans,
counsel for the company. Mr.. CozanS was also
ont of town President J. Romaine Brown would
cav no more than that the consent of a Sufilclent
number of property owners along the proposed
line had been secured.

A BIG FIRM EMBARRASSED
NOTES OF LEWIS BROTHERS & co. GO TO
PROTEST.
GREAT SURPRISE FOR THE DRY.GooDs DIS.
TRIcT-GoING OVER THE BOOKS AND STOCK
TO DETERMINE THE EXACT AMOUNT
OF THE LIABILITIES.

Inc announcement was made in the dry-gOOds
district late yesterday afternoon that the firm of
Lewis Brothers IL Co.. Nos So Worth-st., and
lhomaS-st, had become embarrassed and would
make an assignment to-day The report was re-
ceINed with surprise by those who heard it, and at
nrsb little belief was attached TO the rumOr.
Nothlng could be learned of the truth of the
report at the place of business, as the MEMBER
ol uhe llrm were all said to be away. In the
evening 1t was ascertained that the rumor was
oased on the fact that several notes of the firm
"eht TO protest during the day. and that despite
all their efforts, the members of the firm had been
unable to make the notes good
The house of Lewis Brothers & Co. is one of the
largest in the district 1t is one of the Oldest and
has been regarded up to the present time as among
the strongest, and has had almost unlimited credit.
IL does large commission business in print goods,
and represents several Massachusetts mills. The
members of the firm are Walter II. Lewis, Joseph
w. Lewis, Henry Lewis and John L. Boardman.
walter H. Lewis is the resident member of the firm.
HIS home is at No. 63 West Nineteenth-st. All
the other members of the firm live out of the city,
and could not be found last evening.
From what could be ascertaincd, the embarrass-
ment of the house is caused by carrying too large
Il stock and by backward payments The LA
bties are said to reach nearly Si OOO,O 900, and
examination of their books and stock was In
progress yesterday to ascertain exactly how they
stood. Those who had some knowledge of the
affairs and the business Of the house thought THAI
the difficulty would only be temporary, and the
firm would be able to meet their engagements and
resume business in short time. Walter IL.
Lewis was seen late last night at his home, in
West Nineteenth-st. He declined, however, to
make any statement or to assign any reason for
the firms difficulty or to deny the report of its
trouble.
All have to say now,' Mr.. Lewis repeated,
" is that we have not made an aSsignmant yet

Scranton, Penn, July 24.-An explosion OF gas
that occurred in the central shaft of the Delaware
LAcl1awanna and Western Company in this city at
3 80 this afternoon was attended with fatal re-
Suits The killed were Robert Roberts, age forty
two; John Williams, age twenty-three. The IN
jured are Foreman Lewis Roberts, age ffty-two; ;
John Doyle, age sixty-twu Robert Moran, age
fOrty-fve; Patrick Barrett, age forty -four; Thomas
James, age sixty-three; Benjamin James,
age twenty-five. These men were taking
up tracks and repairing brattices in q gangway
near chambers that caved in in the 14-foot
vein this afternoon. Another cave-in was feared
and il was the intention to save as much OF the
track as possible There strong current OF
foul air in the gangway, and continuous falls IN
the abandoned chambers drove a large quantity
of gas into the gangway. The gas exploded with
terrific effect soon as it reached the lamps or
the workmen. The props and the walls in the
gangway were smashed, the worlmen were hurled
about, and the smoke was driven up through the
shaft a thousand yards from the scene. Lewis
Roberts, Barrett, Doyle and James managed TO
crawl several hundred yards and were rescued by
worllmen who went from the foot of the
shaft. On account of the foul air that lied the
gangway, more than an hour passed before tho
rescuerS could reach the scene of the explosion.
When they succeeded in doing so, they found
Robert Roberts lying upon a heading and Williams
covered by an overturned wall. James and Moran
had cTawled to ditch some distance from the
chambers and saved themselves from suffocation
by lying face downward in the water. Roberts
leaves family. All the injured men are married.
The cave-in that preceded the explosion disturbed
a large area of the surface The vein, with the
exception of the pillars, had been worked out and
Nothing but props was left to support the roof and
the result was collapse.

Helena, Mont, July a Special men,

working assiduously this week. and large amount
Of business relating TO the leading issues has been
transacted The oppo iton continues its warflre
on the proposition 10 insert in the constitution the
words Almighty God. and numerous substitutes
have been offered. After the original introduc-
tion to the preamble containing these words had
been adopted by the convention by an almost
unanimous majority, a member, who had evidently
been surfcited, proposed as substitute
We. the people, do Ordain and establish
this Constitution Communications and letters
from all over the country come protesting against
such an insertion but they are always suppressed
and IA resolution was passed that no attention
would be paid TO matters Of this kind emanating
from individuals or societies outside Of Montana.
An effort was made on Saturday to amend by
striking out the words Grateful to Almighty
God for the blessings of liberty" but
it met with signal failure. A
sample of the communications that come before
the convention was one from Professor Chedwicll,
of Starlcy y. Y, sent by wire, signed by thirteen

reading OF this dispatch was interrupted by
shouts of laughter and realizing what farce it
was, the convention voted TO dispense with fur
ther reading.
An amendment, new section providing
that the militia shall not be called upon except
in eases of imminent public danger or urgent
necessity, is under consideration. An additional
section 10 the article military affairs is 10 the
effect that persons of religious belief averSe to
bearing arms, be exempt from military duty. The
plea upon which this is founded is
that there has been large lmmi-
grafton Of Men1onites into Montana and
that they do not believe in fighting.
Important matters have been considered by the
committees, which could be presented if there
were room for them on the calendar. Among
these are female suffrage and the appOrtiOnment
