Manituw0c Is IN earnest about wanting the
rual speedily built, the people would make
the popular acclaim so loll that the DIrec

Our people want the road built. They
are willing TO pay literally toward it, They
dread delays fearing 1t may fall into the
hands of The great over. hadowing MonoD

instead of great thoroughfarc extending
across the State TO the North Pacific Rail

This is Why we want The Manitowoc

have Appleton placed on the main line.

More from the Great Fire---AII the Bodies

Funeral 0bseqHieS.

NEW YORK, September ia
Scranton, Pa, dispatch says Mr.. Ben
iamin Hughes is quite satisfied that
no more bodies remain below, and in
this opinion he is endorsed by the best
authorities; nevertheless, to satisfy
everybody, the work of search, though
temporarily stopped for more thor
oughly ventilating, the exploration OF
the mine will be carried ON again to-
morrow with additional gangs Of men,
and every possible nook and corner
will be explored.
The funeral of forty-three miners to-
day was an event of unusual impress
siveness. 4 solemn requiem was toll
ed by the city bells, flags were hung at
haIfmast, stores were closed, the prin-
cipal streets deserted, the numerous
locomotives draped in mourning, and
all of the working population OF
Scranton appeared TO have betaken
themselves to Avondale. One train
ofthirty-seven platform cars, carrying
thirty-five hundred passengers TO the
scene of the late disaster, was 50
greatly crowded that two men were
Knocked of and cut to pieces by the
train. The crowd at AvOndale was
immense, and extended down the
railroad track for miles.
A vast majority of those present
came purely from motives Of curiosity.
There were hundreds Of women
dressed in costumes more betitting a
picnic than a funeral, and among
many of the men there was leVity
and rudeness of manner better adap-
ted TO the neighborhood of a prize
ring than a solemn scene Of such
great grief.
a great deal of controversy is going
on in town on the question of who is
10 blame for the present inefficient
way of Yentilating mines and giving
protection TO the miners. One side
Insists it is the miners to Blame, for if
they chose to say they would network
in any mine unprOvided with means
of escape in case of accident to the
shaft, the owners of mines would /
quickly see it was TO their interest TO
10 adopt the proper precautions
against the dangers that are so appar-
ent to miners. The miners say they
will risk working anywhere, provided
they are paid; and are eutterly indifer-
ent to palpable danger, aSthe sailor
