CHICAGO CONVENTION.

#-." No Choice-l,land Leads.

No Choice-Bland Leads.
The disrupted and disunited forces Of
the democratic party have at last met at
Chicago, and in the most memorable con-
vention that has ever assembled together
in the annals Of ou. politics since the
war period, have pus forth to the coun-
try a declaration of platform principles
which represent only the sentiment of a
portion of the party, and were not con-
Cured in by populous section Of the
United States which holds the absolute
control Of the money power of this coun-
try, and today is making its last stand for
the supremacy Of national control.
1t was convention marked by oratory
such as would give a proud page to the
political records Of any people of the
earth, and yet a convention in which
bitterness Of spirit abounded such as has
never been surpassed in any civil gather
ing in the Union. From the first the OPP
posing elements 50 aligned themselves as
to prove that the fight lay practically be-
tween the substantially compact repre-
sentatives of the gold standard coming
from north of the Ohio and east Of the
great lakes, and those who bore the ban
ners OF free silver coinage from the ma
jestic overtowering region whose lines
lie outside that narrow corner Of the
American continent. From the begin
ming to the end the battle as whole
found the leaders of the two sides in
these sections, and thus it was carried to
the finish.
Letters from A. w. Lyman in the In
dependent showed the Montana delega-
tion to have been at first divided as fol-
lows: Downing for Bland;i, Clark for
Matthews or Boise Hauser for Teller or
Bland; Fox for Boise or Bland; Mats for
Bland; Fusz for HA,4nd, A large number
Of Montanians were in attendance.
The convention was called to order in
the coliseum in Jackson park at 1850 p.
m. on Tuesday by Chairman Harrity, and
prayer was offered by Rev. Edward M.

committee for temporary chairman and

plauded this, but Clayton of Arkansas
asked for roll call, and after much de-
bate, during which the name Of Senator
John W. Daniel Of Virginia was named
for the place, a vote was taken resulting
in the defeat of Senator Hill by a vote of
55G to 340 AS some silver men supported
Hill, it being not their gdesire that he
should be turned down, this did not show
the full strength of silver in the conven
ton. In response to the honor Senator
Daniel made most eloquent speech,

tor. Senator Hill would not respond to
calls for a reply and after the selection of
the COMMITTEES on credentials and perma-
nent organization the convention ad-
| journed.

The ZOSel District.

Beginning at the Zosel district Eabout
seven miles east Of Deer Lodge city, is a
place just now attracting attention, and
deservedly so. Several claims that had
been partially developed previous to 1898
have recently been worked with excel
lent results, and promise to become large
and permanent producers. There are
also a great many other claims in this
vicinity that show as we'll as those al
ready paying the operators, which only
need capital to bring out their hidden
wealth. North of Zosel is barren dis

with most encouraging success.-M. ].

TO DIG THE YELLOW METAL.
Capt. SchIegeImiIch to Take Charge
of Idaho Mines.

Capt. Fred Schlegelmilch of Beaufort
county, S. c., left last Tuesday for Idaho,
where he will have charge of gold min
ing company.
In the early days of gold mining in that
then far off country, about thirty years
ago, Capt. Schlegelmilch made fortune
within eighty miles of the place where he
is now going. He was one of the pioneers.
who in spite of dangers of hundreds Of
miles of wilderness, and its savage inhab-
itants and SHOWS, which cut them off from
friends for six months in the year, began
the work of civilization in what is now
the state of Montana
By his intuitiVe engineering skill and
mechanical ingenuity he built the first
hydraulic fumes used in Confederate
gulch, so named because many of the min
ers were ex-soldiers Of the southern con-
federacy. His flume brought him q for
tune and in year he had money enough,
he thought, to satisfy all his future wants
Unsuccessful business ventures, the last
among them being a large saw mill, dis
sipated his fortune.
A few weeks ago friends of his in Bos-
ton, Mass, who knew of Capt. Schlegel-
also of his great energy and skill as a
mechanic in the broadcast sense of that
word, offered him the position of mana
ger of their property in Idaho. Those
who know Capt. Schlegelmilch, the hon
est, never discouraged, and ever active
man, will learn with pleasure that he is
in position where his great abilities will
be useful to himself as well as to others
and wish him good luck

WONT RETURN TO HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Boyd's Trouble with Her Chill
dren and Liege Lord

The husband OF the woman who has
been so anxious TO dispose Of her three
children has turned up. His name is Ste
phen Boyd, a farmer living near still
more Boyd is an old man OF Is and one
legged. while his wife is about half his
age. She seems to prefer living a pauper
in Savannah TO returning 10 live with
him.
Boyd wrote Chief McDermotf last month
asking him TO look out for his wife. who
had left him, taking her three children
with her. He wanted his children back,
but did not seem anxious about his wife.
Chief McDermOtt gave the letter to
Detective GOdbOld, who reported that he
was unable TO find the woman. When the
detective read the account in the Morning
News Of the desertion Of three young
children by their mother. whom Clerk
Manucy would undertake to dispose OF
he recalled the letter and concluded TO
investigate the matter He did so. and
succeeded. after a long search. in finding
the mother in a small hut in the back
yard Of a negro house in a lane near River
and West Broad streets, where she had
been living on the verge of starvation
with her children. partly supported by the
charity OF the negroes in the yard.
Ine woman attempted TO conceal her
Identity and told several stories TO the
detective which he found to be false She
finally acknowledged TO Chief McDermOtt
at the barracks that her right name was
Boyd and that she had run away from
her husband at StillmOre. She surprised
the chief somewhat when she declared
that the children were not her husbands
although she said she had lived with him
constantly up to the time she left him
Feb. p. The woman asserted positively
that she would not return to her husband
unless II was in her coffin and she seemed
determined that he should not have the
children. Her husband simply wanted
her TO work for him, she said He made
her plow and work in the field like a negro
she claimed. She has res stunned her maid
en- name of Lizzie Cobb.
The woman called at the Morning News
office last night and repeated her state
ments made 10 Chief McDermott. She
said she had lived disagreeably with her
husband for the last seventeen years, that
he had i'll treated her and her children.
She and her children had been sent away
by him, she said, and that she could prove
this by number of Witnesses She was
anxious for her children to be placed with
people who would rear them properly. she
said. The two older children have been
adopted into respectable homes.
Mrs. Cobb has discovered that the wo-
man who was allowed to take the young
est child is not a proper person and pro-
poses to find another home for it. Chief
McDermott has promised to tIke the child
away from this woman as he knows her
TO be UNFIT to have such charge.

TEARING DOWN THE OLD WALL.
Colonial Park Can he Seen without
Climbing Fence Now.

Colonial Park Can BE Seen without
Climbing Fence Now.
The work of tearing down the old wall
around the Colonial park was begun yes
terday by the force of hands. which has
been engaged for the last several weeks
in renovating the old South Broad Street
cemetery and converting II into a mark
The bricks were old and dry, and the
wall was easily tumbled down. The great
er part of the wall on Abercorn street
and on South Broad street to Lincoln
street was toppled over. The rest will be
torn down to-day.
People who went home along Abercorn
street last night found the old vaults
and tombstones staring them in the face.
The tearing down of the wall removes
one of the landmarks of the city. The
wall has been there beyond the memory
of the oldest inhabitant, and there seems
to be nobody who can give a sausfac-
tory account as to when and how it was
built 1t is said that the wall was built
by public subscription in order to pre-
serve the cemetery from dissertation.
There is evidence that such a subscription
was begun, but whether the wall was
built in this manner or by the city is not
known.
That quarter of the city will now have
the strange appearance of a cemetery
thrown open to the public 1t will con
tnue to preserve this appearance for some
time to come, as it will take three or four
years at least for the shrubbery to reach
a SUFFICIENT hight to partially hide the
vaults and toombstones The appearance
of the place will convince almost any one
that it was a great mistake not to tear
away the unoccupied vaults at least.

TO co INTO EFFECT MARCH Is.
The RaiIrcRd Commissions New De-
murrnge Rules,

murrRge Rules.
The amended rules of the Georgia rail-
road commission governing storage and
demurrage, will go into effect March Is
The amended rules were promulgated by
the commission Feb &c, and were publish
ed officially in the Morning News of March
3
Commissioner d. G.. Purse of the Sa-
vannah Freight Bureau was largely in
strumental in securing the amendment of
the rules. The Savannah merchants have
for years labored under the disadvantage
of having to compete in cities in which
no demurrage was charged. and where
brokers were practically permitted to turn
freight cars into Storehouses.
The advantage of this practice, as stated
by the merchants of Macon, in their pro-
test presented to the railroad commission
was quite equal to the profits on many
articles sold in car load lots. Capt. Purse
submitted a demand to the commission
that the demurrage charges should either
be abolished or enforced uniformly by
the railroads at all points. This was
hacked up by protests from Macon and
other cities.
Atlanta was the chief gamer by the lax
enforcement of the demurrage rules, while
Savannah and Macon were the chief suf-
ferers. The new rules require the uniform
enforcement of demurrage charges at all
points. Capt. Purse was successful i'm
having some of his own suggestions in
corporated in the rules.
Capt. Purse has sent out circulars call
ing the attention of the members of the
bureau TO the new rules and enclosing
copy OF the rules as recently promulgated.
