Death of Cant. Glenn.

We find the following notice of the death
of Capt. Glenn in the Galena Advertiser:
Capt. Glenn first visited this section in
1882, as First Clerk of the steamer Warrior,
Capt. |. Throckmorton. He has been in the
river trade since that time, and was there
fore one of the oldest steamboat-men on the
Upper Mississippi. He was universally cs-
teeme', and was a kind and courteous man.
During the Spring and mp to the time of his
illness he had acted as Master of the steamer
Ocean Wave, one of the boats of the Mime
sofa Packet Company. Capt Glenn, in
life, was the fit representative of class of
n en-, who, in the peaceful pursuits of COM
merce, are OF have been as truly worthy of
the hero's garland of fame as are the Deca-
turs and Macdonoughs of history. Had the
lot of their life been SO cast, who doubts
that they would not have given equal proof
of every element of manhood, or who that
knew Capt. G., and the manner of his life
as an accomplished commander in difficult
laborious and hazardous occupation, does
not feel that he was often tested as truly as
they were, and stood therein like steel
Men like him have given high character to
our River commerce, and it is painful to
note his departure.

The unexpected sound of the steam whis.
tie, as it reverbrated over the hills and glen
down in the heart of the Lower Fox River
Valley, on Thursday afternoon, walked a
responsive shout of exaltation and cheer Of
triumph from hundreds whose widest
dreams had never led them to suppose they
should ever see at Appleton, steamer hail
ing from Pittsburgh, Pa.
But here was plain palpable proof that
such circumstance had actually occurred.
Think of it A steamer blowing her way
on inland waters over twenty-three hun
dred miles !! Down the Ohio up the Mis-
sissippi and Wisconsin and down the Fox,
through Lake Winnebago, passing through
the Canal and Lock at Neenah without DELAY
or difficulty-the feat was accomplished
steamer arrived at Appleton from the coal
smoked city of Pittsburgh--and soon others
are to follow in her wake!
In few weeks, at most, we shall pass
through to the waters of Lake Michigan

Burnin: of the Janice Park.

The following particulars of the burning
of the James Park we find in the ST. Louis
Intelligencer of Friday
The steamboat South America, that or.
rived yesterday, brought to this city the of.
ficers and crew of the James Park, that was
burnt with all her cargo, in the Mississippi
river, above Cairo, on Tuesday night last
which we made mention of yesterday morn
ing. The James Park, Capt. Miller, was on
her way from Pittsburg to this port, loaded
with about six hundred tons iron, nails
glassware, railroad iron, lumber and shingles
and had a barge in tow, which was loaded
with lumber. The railroad iron was con.
signed to Hannibal, Mo-, and the lumber in
the barge, as well as the cargo on the steam.
boat. was for merchants of this city, and
points on the Upper Mississippi.
On Tuesday night, between nine and ter
o'clock, when near Thebes, the cry of fire
was heard, and instantly flames were seen
issuing from under the boilers, and also from
pile of shingles lying alongside of them
So rap dly did the flames spread, that the
crew were compelled to jump into the river
to save their lives before the boat reached
the shore. The South America luckily was
just behind in sight, and the crew Of tho
Park were all picked up by the yawl of the
America. No lives were lost but the clerk
of the b. at had his hand badly burned If
attempting to save the books. There were
no passengers on board. The James Parl
was valued at $27 900, owned in Pittsburg
and insured in that city for about one half o
her value. The cargo was valuable, but t.
attempt to give anything like the exact
amount of the loss would be out of the
question. The books, money and papers
were all entirely lost, and nothing on boart
was saved, except the clothes the officers and
crew had on when the fire broke out. i
was lucky, indeed, that the James Park wa.
not passenger boat, or we should hav.
been called upon to record terrible destruc
ton of life as well as property.

Cause of the Detention of Gov. Robinson J..

The Chicago Tribune learns that the real
cause of the forcible arrest of Governor
Robinson, at Lexington, Mo-, is contained
in the following: He was entrusted with
important packages ofthe evidence given be-
fore the Congressional Commission, fol-
transmission to Washington, under an ap-
prehension that descent would be made
upon Lawrence by the Missourians, and the
papers of the Commissioners destroyed. For
tunately, for the Free State Cause, Mrs.
Robinson had the papers on her person, con-
cealed in her dress and her journey to ST.
Louis, despite her husbands detention, is to
be accounted for only upon the supposition
that she had instructions from the Governor
to put herself and the sealed documents out
Of The way as fast as steam would carry her

NORTHERN BELLE.-This splendid new
steamer, Captain Preston Lodwick, was in
yesterday, making, we believe, the quickest
time this season. She was just twenty-one
hours on the way from St. Paul to Galena.
without crowding at all, and she was also
detained an hour or more, the by t" DOCTOR"
We are confident, says the Galena Adver-
tiser, that when her new machinery becomes
little /" more used to it," the Northern
Belle will make decidedly quicker time than
was ever before made on the Upper Missis-
sippi. She has the two requisites for speed
in very great degree-good shape and pre-
portions and good machinery.
The RAcE.-Captain Lodwlck informs n,
that the War Eagle reached Dunleith Mon
day evening that when she got to Winona
she found the Tishomingo there, but the lat
ter would not start out with her again. Tie
War Eagle waited at Dunleith until the
Tishomingo arrived, when they again start
ed together. The War Eagle passed her in
sight of Dunleith, and beat her to Winona
four hours.
The Kate Cassel, one of the DUBUQUE
packets arrived at noon.
The St. Louis, a stern-wheeler, arrived
from below in the afternoon.
The steamers Americas, Atlanta, Grace
Darling and Matte Wayne are on the way

A Suggestion.


The disastrous fire which it became on
- duty to record yesterday is still the them
OF conversation, and il the city authorize
will learn to do anything towards proven
ton OF a like occurrence in the future, the'
the dear-bought experience of "Wednesday
will not be entirely lost.
The propriety of repeating the ordinance
for preventing the erection Of wooden build.
ings within certain limits, has always beer
questioned; and now that q calamity has
happened by which a number of our most
worthy citizens have lost their all, which
would not have occurred had the ordinance
remained in force, the advocates of a restric.
tive or finance are gaining in numbers most
rapidly.
The necessity of better arrangements for
prompt supply Of water has also excited
Some remark. While we all know that the
construction Of water works will be work
of much time and expense, We believe that
temporary supply to large portion of the
city might be speedily obtained with a very
little expense. The water in the cellar of
the building of Colonel Robinson has saved
that block from burning three times within
the last few months. The old cistern built
by Col. Goodhuc, over which Marvin's brick
block is now erected, has twice been of great
service in cases of fire. So has also the Gel
lar in the rear of Mr.. Hatch's store, and the
cellar on the corner Of Third and Wabashaw,
over which Mr.. Sanford's store lately stood.
These cellars contain water nearly the whole
year, on account of the exceeding difficulty
of drainage through the ledge of rock on
which large portion of St. Paul is built.
Advantage might be taken of this circum-
stance to have a reservoir constructed on
e"ery block, on some vacant lot. We have
no doubt that there would be found plenty
of men who would be willing to do the
necessary excavations for the rock which
could be taken. Will our citizens give this
matter their serious attention, and see
whether it is not an experiment worth the
trial2
Again, the subject of Fire Buckets is
very important matter. There have been
more wooden pals destroyed and lost at
every fire we have had than would pay for
full supply of buckets for the whole town.
We would suggest that our City Fathers
pass an Ordinance compelling every house
holder to purchase leather buckets for the
purpose of carrying to fires. We have lived
in large towns where every householder was
compelled to keep one bucket for every fire
he had in his house. If this rule were
adopted here, there would always be plenty
Of means on hand to transport water from
distance to the place where it is needed.
Each bucket owner would of course have
bis name on his property, SO that he would
easily obtain it after the fire was over.
We hope these, or some other plans,
which may DC found TO be moro feasible,
Will be speedily adopted.

A CONSOLIDATED RAILRoAD.-The three
railroad companies, connecting Pittsburg
with Chicago, have been consolidated under
the name of the Pitsburg and Chicago Rail-
road Company. The roads embraced in
this consolidation occupy nearly dire Il
route from Pittsburg to Chicago, distance
of 464 miles Of which 338 are now in ope-
ration. The Ohio and Pennsylvania road
