NARROW ESCAPE FROM AN AwruL
DEATH Mr.. Joseph Cox, e we'll knewn
tinsmith Of this place went into q cistern
one day last week to lengthen out lead
pipe. To do this it became necessary to
take his little furnace down to keep his
soldering irons hot. He Vas just compile
ting has work when he felt dizziness
creepng over him, and going to- the lad
der attempted to- ascend it. but when
half WY up he fell back. This had the
eject to rouse him for desperate strur-
gle for Fife and with difficulty he gained
tie open air, which he reached, in an al
most insensible conditions; his finger nails
had turned purple and it was quite evi-
dent that two minutes more in the cistern
would have cost him his life. It is nrob.
able that burning the charcoal, in so small
place where the air was none too good
ct best, destroyed the oxygen and
rendered it impossible for a person to
live there.

THE sU.JEer OF FIRE LIMITS.

In nearly oil cities there are certain
bounds or limits, inside Of which no
wooden or inAammable structure can be
built These limits embrace the central
part Of town and other localities liable to
disastrous confagrations. That every city
should thus guard itself against annihila-
ton there can be no question. for quite
frequently towns built largely of wood
are almost completely swept out of exis-
tence. But a few years ago our neighbor-
ing city, Oshkosh, had its principal street
laid In ruins. Last summer Marquette,
L. S. was almost entirely destroyed, and
only few days-ago the village of Han
cock L. s. was also visited and two hun
dred families were turned into the street.
The question is, do these facts teach aus
anything, or are we SO blind that we will
not see2 Here is town built largely of
wood, and it only needs few more wood
en- buildings put in occasionally, as con-
Meeting links, to form trap that on some
terrible windy day will spring and leave
our thriving young city in ashes. 1t is
all very well to say, Don't borrow trou-
Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof" but that VIII not 1s.4.-. !.
burned city. That man who locks his
barn door before the horse is stolen has
credit for the greatest wisdom. So with
this place: Let our Village authorities at
once fix limits, and from this time forth
let no wooden structures be erected with
In them. Brick costs but little more and
is worth twice as much for building pur-
poses, and if the people do not see it, let
them be taught the truth of it for the
public good. Again, we should have a
health and safety committee appointed at
once, whose duty it shall be to visit every
yard in the place and enforce cleanliness
and safety from a confagration. Rubbish
of all kinds should be cleared away and
every institution which is likely to cause
a confagration should have safeguards
placed about it. In this way.possibly we
may avoid in the future as We have in the
past, destruction, while delay may result
in disaster and death.

-Our contemporary sometime since
made very damaging statement in re-
gard to- one Of the vessels Ct this port,
which was false In every particular. 1t
caused the owner great solicitude in re-
gard to his craft, and cost him the price
of two kilograms. We suppose it was a
mistake and the writer should have said
so; but no, he SCOTS at the idea of his
making mistake 'No, sir! It was a
joke. 1t would be joke indeed, if that
captain should slap the writer face-just
for joke.

A LARGE FLEET importance of
having good harbor at this point, which
is accessible during all kinds of weather,
was never more apparent than on last
Friday. There was strong Southeast
wind blowing at the time, and no less
than Thirty .tfoe vessels could be counted
inside of our harbor, all at one time. To
be sure good share of these vessels trade
here regularly, but the largest number
entered our harbor as place of refuge
from the storm.
The reader can well imagine of how
much benefit our harbor will be to the
commerce of the lakes after it is complet-
ed. Navigation has but just opened,
only about half of the vessels are in
commission, and notwithstanding all this
a feet of nearly fifty vessels seek the
Manitowoc Harbor as place of refuge
The appropriation that we now have,
viii do much towards completing the i'm
provement, and by next fall we expect
to see larger fleets still, within our har-
Dor.

ACCIDENTAL SHOoTING.-We learn
that on Saturday morning last, while
out shooting pigeons near Two Rivers, a
boy named Martelle was shot and danger
ously, though it is hoped not fatally
wounded, by another boy named Frank
Gabler. Some of the shot went into his
left arm and some into his side, piercing
the lungs, causing painful and danger
Gus wound. From the account received
OF the TRANSACTIONS we should think there
must have been gross carelessness, by
one or both parties. Both the boys re-
side at Two Rivers.

THOSE BEANS. are sorry to see
that Mrs. Ohler feels much aggrieved, in
consequence of the articles published in
the newspapers last week about the pois-
oning of Mrs. LaCount. We do, not see
any call for the letter which we publish
in another column, for none of the pub
ished accounts blamed Mrs. Ohler; on
the contrary all spoke of the matter as
purely accidental, yet when woman has
been brought before the public unfavor-
ably justice demands that her explana-
ton should at least be heard. A

The side walks on some of the prin-
cipal business streets are in horrible
condition. Owners of property in front
of which the side walk is out of order,
should at once repair it and not wait
for the Marshal to order the work per-
formed. We are glad to notice that the
Marshal has ordered the removal of the
filth which generally congregates during
the winter on the business streets. SAM
tary interests require prompt attention.

Mr.. B. R. A. feels bad. The TRI-

skies and say it was the best show eyer
exhibited. 1t praised the good and
criticised the bad-only the Great Orig.
inal Drama it failed to speak of at all
and really this is the head and front of
its offending. Only one little word in
its praise, and all the ;,-r-a-ying in the
columns of our neighbor last week would
never have startled this community from
its quiet and repose. Now, in regard to
criticising little girls" Why, bless
your old soul, those young ladies' have
discrimination enough to distinguish be-
tween honest comment and undisguised
soft soap )" have you? Further, would
any one but an "old granny ever think
of accompanying the impromptu exhibition
OF -four months ago''-originated for the
purpose of getting an instrument for the
school and carried out in great haste
with an elaborate entertainment, to which
months of labor had been given with the
avowed intention of beating that other
AFFAIR."" Guess not! Then too, when
man is working for his own personal ag-
grandlzement he is expected to produce
something of superior excellence. The
silly attempt to prejudice the south side
school against the north 81 lie school will
probably hurt Mr.. B. r. A. more than
it will do him good Sectional hate is
not a good capital to do business on

Mr.. Jas. Anderson, q resident of

ed an address at the Junior Exhibition.
In the course of his remarks he saw fit
to tell the Appleton people of ''shams"
which existed in their midst, and as
might be expected they did not relish his
plain talk TIE newspapers pitched into
him tearfully, the Crescent especially spoke
very disrespectfully Of him. This was to
be expected, but who would think that
the little seventy nine concern over the
way would fill up it's columns reprinting
this abuse of one of our own citizens,
simply because he serveG three years in

man you will find it safe to let alone
He Is young, and only commencing a
career which we predict will be one Of
usefulness and success. He is radical in
all his views, but he is of good Scotch
stock, and possibly you may hear from
him again. We write this article because
