Spontaneous presentation of the name
of Secretary of State Richard Olney
for the Democratic Presidential nomin-
alton by Mayor Quincy at the dinner
OF the Democratic State Committee sat
urday is predicted as significant by
Democratic politicians and organs to-
day. Tomorrow there will be edi-
torial comment quite generally that
the State Committee has settled upon
a Massachusetts candidate to be pre-
sented to the National Democratic
convention, and the name would not
be that of Ex-Governor William Eustis
Russell of Cambridge. Mass. whose
friends had been quietly using his
name with that object in view. Mr.
Quincy's nomination speech is said to
be especially significant, as the Demo
cratic State Central Committee and
large number of the most prominent
party leaders of the State were in ses-
sion Saturday afternoon.

THE STEAMER SAFE.

Detroit. Mich, February 23.-The
ferry steamers Promise and Fortune
reached Detroit this afternoon with
the disabled car ferry Shenango No. 2,
which they had taken from her peril
ious position in the Lake Erie ice
fields. The crew report the ice In
Lake Erie very heavy and the task OF
towing the big car ferry through the
ice was extremely slow and tedious,
owing TO her great width. The round
trip from Detroit occupied five days,
although the distance was only sew
enty miles. The Shenango was taken
to the Detroit dry dock.

Golfers. w. Va, February 23.-Peo-
pie are much excited in this vicinity
over a recent find which, it is claimed,
clears up a mystery of thirty-two years
standing-the remains of four human
beings having been discovered in an
abandoned coal mine mile east OF here.
David Snyder has explored the old
mine. which has not been worked since
the sixties and discovered the human
bones. One Of the skeletons was sit
ting upright against ledge. Beside
this skeleton was found a flask contain
ing note that explained the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of John Ewing, Ben
Ayers. Tom Ackelson and Joe Obney.
thirty-two years ago. The notes were
written in pencil, but well preserved.
They read as follows:
November ., 1S6S-Should this ever
reach the outside world let it be known
that we giving name9 are prisoners
here, owing to the caying in of the
mine. We are deserters, and were in
hiding here when the mine caved in.
Food and water all gone. We are
doomed. as no one outside is aware Of
our whereabouts. This is about the
eighth day of imprisonment.
November John Ewing and Tom
Ackelson have just killed Ben Ayres
and are eating him. l have already
eaten my boot leg. The water in the
mine is terrible. Our oil is getting
scarce; air becoming foH. l only know
the day of the month by my watch.
November 6.-Ewing has just kill
ed Ackelson. Cut off one of his feet
and is eating it and dancing around and
hourishing his dirk-knife like ma
MAC.
November IL am now alone with
the dead. l had to kill Ewing in self
defense. 1 have just eaten my other
boot leg. Am sleepy. Goodbye.
enclose this note in this flask to pre-
serve it if possible, so that If ever
found our sad fate will be known.
(Signed) "JOSEPH OBNEY."
Several Of the old residents here
abouts remember these men. It was
generally believed that they had been
killed in battle. As no relatives Of the
deceased men could be found, their re-
mains were given in charge of Andy
Lister for interment.
