dicates the bearing some Of the oeon-

One of these bills, which passed q ~
last session without any discussion,
prohibited the building Of any railway
lines through any graveyard. Little
was known Of it, purposes, but ct that
time Of the session bills for the pension
ing Of civil war veterans and their wid-
ows and such other benevolent meas-
ures were being passed more or less
regularly along with patriotic resolu-
tons, and what little was said about the
hill was thrown out in such way - to
appeal to the sentiment Of the s0lons.
In an effort to prevent the desecration
of graves, however, the legislators took
. step, the Importance Of which they
never realized, and the facts alleged
in the case follow: Ever since the
Chicago q West Michigan railway was
built, its western terminal was at New
Buffalo, where it formed junction
with the Michigan Central, over the
tracks of which it entered Chicago. As
the business of the road developed, IL
was found that the trackage charges
made inroads into the income Of the
company to the point where It was
deemed desirable to do away with them.
Accordingly the heads of the road de-
cided to build their own line into Chi
cago, and accordingly. through their
agents, began to purchase rights Of
way wherever desired. Most Of the
proposed route ran through the sand
dunes along the upper end OF Lake
and Porter counties, and here the
Knickerbocker Ice company, OF Chi
cago, owns vast tracts Of land from
which it takes sand for its ice houses
and for building purposes in Chicago.
The new route Of the railway will cut
through their most valuable sand de-
posits, and the Knickerbocker company
steadfastly refused to sell.
Only q few weeks before the open
ing Of the legislature the railway COM
pany announced that It proposed to
bring condemnation proceedings to &C.
cure possession Of the land, and then
was Matched the bill which has rem
dered It impossible for the railway to
complete its line. First Of al, the com
pany secured q collection Of what IL
known in medical colleges ~ ''stihs,"
to the number of 40 or so. and these
were buried at intervals, properly
marked, all over the tract. The next
step taken was to prepare the grave
yard bill, which was introduced by Rep
resentative Patterson, who was inno-
cent of the motives back Of II. and
passed without discussion BY both
branches Of the general assembly, mn
der the supposition on part Of the mem
bers that it was designed to thwart the
attempt of some cold-blooded railway
corporation to desecrate some old-es-
tablished burying ground around which
clustered historical associations. The

pie in the northern part of the state

John Weird, man in middle life who
had evidently seen many ups and downs
in the world, died in a hack at the door of
the city Jail last night about IL o'clock.
Not much is known about the man be-
yond that he was an habitual drunllard
and had lain drunk about the resorts of
the tenderloin district for about a week.
Last night he fell in a fit at the White
Front saloon in Galena street. Officer
Mcdonald was called, and as the man re-
vived shortly, he was allowed to remain
in the saloon. An hour or 50 later the
officer found Weird lying on the sidewalk
in front of the saloon and, placing him
in a hack, sent him to the city Jail. At
headquarters a telephone message was
sent to DIR. Monroe. who. on his arrival
found Weird dead. DR.. Monroe expressed
the opinion that death was the result
of alcoholism. Coroner Julien was noti-
fled and the body was removed to Shcr-
mans undertaking rooms. An inquest
will probably be held.
