DEAD ON THE MOUNTAIN.
A Five Weeks Old Corpse Found Up
On the Ridge Last Evening.

The mOulderiDg remains of man
long since deceased, were found last
evening on the top OF Mt. Franklin.
Two prospectors, Harry Driscoll and
M. w. LeatherwCOd were on a tour of
inspection up there in the afternoon
when suddenly they were about knock
ed over by a fearful smell On look
ing around, they presently discovered
not far in front of them dead man.
The body was clad in two pairs of over.
ais, a black shirt and pointed russell
shoes. Underneath was an ordinary
sack coat which the deceased had evil
IDENTIFY spread out to lie down on, and a
big wad of scrub grass served as pill
low Near by was stub pipe.
There was nothing to Indicate
a struggle-everything around
there suggested peaceful
death. The body was in an advanced
stage of decom position, and the air
was so foul that the two prospectors
could not stand it long enough to
approach nearer and search the body
for Identification. All they could
make out was that it was the remains Of
middle aged man with high forehead
and red hair They returned to town
as quickly as they could, and at $40
p M, reached the city hall where
they told their doleful tale. 1t was
too late then to think of officers going
up there, and Justice Bridgers pre-
pared to make the trip this morning.
But he had difficulty in finding the
prospectOrs and in arranging for the
transportation of the body to this city
for burial, so was not able to get start
ed until 200 p. M, by which time he
had every thing in readiness including
an abundant supply of disinfectants.
Many in town believe the body is
that of Jim DOnahue aged 3S, who wore
red hair and had high forehead as
the prospectors said. DOnahue had
been employ ed at the smelter, but has
been missing since June l. This man
left a San Antonio street saloon on the
previous night intoxicated, it is said,
and after securing from the bar keeper
$40 he had previously left there.
Three women called at the police
sta ation this morning, and one Of them
giving the name of either DOnahue or
Mcdonald said she believed the remains
up on the mountain were those of her
husband who was as the prOspectOr
dc escribed. She said he had been miss
irg 1four or five weeks, and had
threatened to make away himself be-
cause of inability to get work, and
then he had bsen drinking. Her hus-
band had lost part of finger which
she had preserved in alcohol, and she
wanted to 60 up the mountain to see
for herself with the finger point. Ii
would not take long with that to find
out.

July, August and September. The
rule was set aside by Presidert Cleve-
land.
The senate reached the watch sche-
dule about noon, after a lot of private
pension bills were reported. Senator
Morgan urged that action on the pen
sions be deferred as there was no
money to pay them now. After the
tariff bill passed he said there would
''be plenty of money, money to burn,"
according to the republicans. In mat
ter OF watches, the original house
schedule was slightly amended.
Congressman 'Dlngley, chairman of
the ways and means committee of the
house said today that he thought the
senate would reach q vote on the tariff
bill by tomorrow night. He expects
the bill to be sent to the house by
Thursday or Friday. The house will
adjourn while the conference COM

overwhelming majority of the people

From this statement it would seem
that the spoiIsmen, instead of making
an open fight, submitted a proposition
which they knew the refOrmers would
not accept.
Referring to the statement that civil
service is weak with the people, Mr..
Bonaparte said:
1T has been demonstrated every
where again and again that with the
people the advocates of good govern
ment are strong; that with politicians,
whether in or out Of office, they are
pitiabIy weak This is not only be-
cause the practical and thorough going
application of their principles to the
conduct of public business would oblige
our professional office holders and Of
fee seekers of high and low degree to
starve or change their calling; in truth
an American politician of today lives in
so dense and unwholesome a moral at
mosphere, his views on all questions of
conscience or honor are SO false and
distorted that ne can hardly conceive
of a party with other ends than to sup
port at public expense as many as
possible. of its own members; that cit
fzens should combine for any other
purpose, seems to him visionary and
absurd
The foregoing is perhaps too severe
and too sweeping a statement, but it

General Charles H. GrosvenOr of the
presidents own state of Ohia, and
small coterie of spoilsmen, in and out
of congress, have organized for sys-
ternatic attack on the civil service reg
ulations. The fight was opened at the
beginning of the session, and no oppor-
tunity for an onslaught, arising in the
course of debate. has been neglected.
Not only is it asserted that the peo-
pie of Ohio are opposed to the civil
service law, but the office grabbers go
so far as to declare that a majority of
the citizens of the entire country are
against it.
The recent defeat of a civil service
amendment to the constitution of
Maryland by the voters of that state
has been made the most of. They have
assiduously pointed to MARYLAND as an
evidence of the truth of their claims.
At the recent meeting of the Nation
al Civil Service league at Cincinnati,
Mr. Charles ]. Bonaparte, a citizen of
Baltimore, a scion of the family of the
great French Emperor and a member
Of the league, read a paper in which he
threw much light on the history of the
civil service movement in Maryland
Mr.. Bonaparte said:

Nshment, patterned after the national
