q DEW YORK. - Unexpectedly
there has come to light an
unpublished diary of the
meetings which resulted in
L the Constitution and in the
decision that the United
States of America should
be republic and not monarchy.
Those conferences were secret
each member of the convention was
adjured to destroy his notes
and besides the authorized record of
Madison only two, 1t seems, of the
private diaries were known to have
been preserved. Lately the Anderson
galleries announced without date a
forthcoming sale of Washingtoniana.
Almost Immediately visitor, repre-
senting the McHenry family Of Mary
land, called upon Mr.. Sampson and
submitted the diary of James McHen-
ry. secretary on the staff of General
Washington and second secretary of
war-a manuscript not known outside
that family.
James McHenry, delegate from Mary
land, took an active part in the forma-
tion of the Constitution. He labored
successfully in his own state to bring
about its ratification, Notwithstanding
the powerful opposition Of Luther
Martin and Samuel Chase. Mr.. Samp-
son says of the newly revealed "Orlg-
inal Manuscript Diary or Journal kept
by james McHenry during his attend
ance at the Federal Constitutional. con-
vention from May 25, the opening, to
September 1S, the closing day:
'"This journal gives remarkably
clear account of the deliberations of
the Federal convention. McHenry took
his seat on the opening day of the sea-
sion and, realizing the Importance and
historic value of the Forthcoming pro-
ceedings, kept this record from day to

"PuT THE LID ON"
Is the Request Of the Mason County
Grand Jury, Which Finished Its
Work Yesterday Thirteen
Indictments Returned.

The Mason County Grand Jury fin
ished Its work for the September term
yesterday afternoon and handed In
the following report:
We, the Grand Jury for the Septem-
ber term, respectfully, report that we
have been In session four days, have
examined about forty witnesses and
returned thirteen indictments. We
find the moral conditions In the coun-
ty, In the main, good. We find the
law against violation Of the Sabbath
very widely disregarded and openly
violated, more particularly by mer-
chants keeping their stores open on
Sunday. We have refrained from in
dieting them, though the proof Is clear
and strong, because the custom is so
universal and Of long standing, but
we find It needless custom except In
rare cases of necessity, and we report
these facts and respectfully ask that
this warning be given full publicity
in order that all may have chance to
stop the practice, and we have re-
quested the Commonwealth Attorney,
II the warning Is not needed, to call
the matter to the attention Of the next
Grand Jury for action. We find the
public Offices well kept and In good
condition, except two closets in jail
which have insufficient supply Of wat
er. Having concluded our labors, we
respectfully ask to be dismissed.
