Arrangements have been made between
the city of Aurora and the Chicago, Bur
lington s. Quincy Railroad, whereby the
city furnishes some thirty acres of land for
railroad purposes, the company agreeing to
pay $500 per acre for the same. The COM
pany design to commence Immediately the
erection of another round house to build
in the future an extensive rolling mill; and
| eventually construct all the works at Au
rora necessary for the manufacture of their
| iron and the construction of their locomo-
tives; thus giving employment to thou
sands of men to whom they will pay
monthly over 100000.
A monster in human guise, one Mrs.
Elizabeth Brannigan, living in South Chi
| cage, committed series of diabolical out
grinding even Mrs. Grinder. Stimulated
by whiskey and smarting under the CALLING
but apparently well deserved structures OF
| her neighbors, she thrust the little daughter
| of one woman into a barrel of water and
| there held her till she drowned. She en-
ticed the daughter of another into a privy
and threw her down the vault, but forLu-
nately the child escaped. To another child
she promised candy if she would go with
her into the building. The woman is now
under arrest.
In view of the probable visitation of the
cholera the coming summer, the subject OF
providing sanitary regulations is under
consideration at Cairo, Illinois. Some ap.
prehensions are entertained lest that disease
may result from the removal of the bodies
of soldiers buried in the vicinity of the
| city The contractors allege that the con
tract under which they are operating
makes no provision for reflling the graves
Under no OF legation to perform this addi
tional and disagreeable labor, they peremp-
torily refuse to perform it. Many of the
collins fall to pieces while being raised out
of the graves, requiring the remains to be
| deposited in new collins. The graves are
left yawning, some of them containing por-
tons of the rotten collins The whole
scene is too horrible for detailed descrip-
ton. ,.sts.t3t,y
