RAILROAD MEETING.
Report of the Committee

Report of the Committee
The Committee sent from here to
Madison having returned on Saturday
last, meeting was called and met at the
Windidate House on Sunday afternoon
last to hear the report relative to our
railroad matters.
The meeting was organized by calling
Fred. Borcherdt to the chair, and Messrs.
L. G. Shove and Carl Schmidt as Secre-
taries.
Mr.. Esslinger, being called upon, set
forth the Vaccinations of the enemies of
our charter; stated that Mr. Mann, Of
Two Rivers, had been called to Madison.
where he was 'shown around" to the
members of the Legislature as ''the per-
son who paid one-sixth of all the taxes of
Manitowoc," and that he informed the
members of the Legislature that ''therc
aCaS not one man IN ManitolC0c aCEo desired
q fa,Iroad." Mr.. EssGnger then spoke Of
the conduct of Reed aud Betz, and the
delegation from Appleton, Menasha and
Waupaca, who were all against the grant
ing Of eur charter; said that when the
vote was taken SO democrats voted for,
and all the Republican members with
one exception, against US. But in spite
of all opposition, Mr. Essslinger thought
our chances still good, and he was firm in
the belief that our charter would pass.
Mr.. Villas, when called upon, expressed
the opinion that the determined opposi-
ton of Milwaukee to our charter was
caused by feeling Of fear that Manito-
voc would be a successful rival to that
city, aud that they wanted the control of
all Northern Wisconsin in their hands,
and that Mitchell and his tools were do
ing their utmost to defeat the passage of
the bill. But he too thought that our
prospects were still good. He pointed
out the necessity of sending two or more
influential Republicans to Madison to
split the Republican vote.
Mr. Markham substantiated the ex
preston of the first two speakers, and
thought there was no necessity for
throwing up the sponge by great
deal; after which discussion was had
as to the standpoint of Mensha in regard
to the passage of the charter
Mr.. Wood moved to send the same
delegation back again, and with them
Messrs. Shove and Luling, which was
adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.

THE CARS ARE RUNNING.
What the Citizens OF ManitOWOc think
Of the Reed-Batz project-S0me-
thing Rich.

At about Ii clock on Tuesday fore
noon, our quiet village was thrown into
high state of excitement by the appear
ance on the street of the Reed Batz
locomotive, gotten up for the purpose
of expressing, publicly, the sentiment
Of our people.
A wagon was procured two hogheads,
painted black, were placed upon it; a
keg and regular locomotive smoke-stack
were placed on the top; cow-bell peal
ed out its merry ~ clang; and two long
tin piston rods connected with the hind
wheels, completed the locomotive" On
the rear end was man with placard
on his back worded as follows: 'This
is the conductor of G. Reeds railroad. "
On his hat were the initials ''H. B., -
meaning of course, Betz. The whole
was drawn by "Uncle JOS famous trot-
ter, on the back Of which, with head to

nous. The engine was named Hum
bug" and is undoubtedly as near being
a locomotive as Reed will ever send into
On the side of which was
another placed bearing the inscription
Geo. Reeds railroad, via Reedsburg
to HI"
Inside of the foremost hogshead was
placed a stove with fire in it, and vol
Imes of smoke issuing therefrom.
The machine was drawn through town,
md created an immense excitement, the
streets in some places being almost COM
pletely blockaded. The general opinion
vas that the whole thing was success, as

The meeting then adjourned.

FIRE.-At about twelve 0 clock on last
Saturday night, the alarm of fire was
given, When it was discovered that the
saloon occupied by Mr.. o. B. Olesen,
on Commercial street, was in flames.
The fire departments were promptly on
the ground and succeeded in quenching
the fire before it communicated to the
adjoining buildings, and the wood and
lumber piled up in the vicinity. Some
two thousand feet of the latter article
was thrown into the river to enable the
engine to get to the water The build
ing was almost totally destroyed. The
house and lumber was the property of
Mr.. Torrison. Mr.. Olesen's loss is but
slight.
1t is noteworthy fact that there is not
a place along the whole line of docks on
the north side where an engine could be
placed to get water without doing as in
this case-throwing it into the water.
This should be seen to.
