The Story of a Windmill

We went out t. Slaymakers in June to
spend the summer, but we have been
obliged to leave. Slaymaker has small
stream near his house from which he used
to pump water into the tank in his garrett.
1t occurred to him some time ago that it
would be a good idea to put up windmill
which could do the pumping for him, so
he built one at a cost of $500. The first
day it began to revolve it frightened Stay
makers best horse so that it ran against
the fence and was killed, and the arms
were So long that they nearly Drained Stay
makers oldest boy, who was standing be-
meath watching the machine, when it sud
denly stopped work and refused to move
an inch Slaymaker accordingly pumped
the tank full, and Just as he stopped the
mill began to pump like fury. Slaymaker,
in alarm, procured rope and tied one of
the wings to tree. When the tank was
empty he tried to make the windmill ill il
again. but the concern Waa Immovable.
Then Slaymaker aited for a couple Of
weeks, and carried the water up to the
house in buckets, because he was afraid to
till the tank when the mill might get to
work at any moment. Finally. as there
seemed To be no hope Of the machinery get
ting all right again. he did pump the tank
full and then went to bed. That night
there was the first hurricane ever known
in that neighborhood. Tim windmill made
about 400 revolutions a minute. and left
the bed Of the stream below 1t completely
dry, while il poured nearly 600 gallons an
hour into Slaymskers garnet. The board
ers all swan odt of the windows, and spent
the rest Of the night in barn, while Stay
maker took to a tree, from which, at day
light. he had a MAGNIFICENT view Of the falls
as they poured picturesquely from the attic
windows, every minute or two bringing out
with them a chair or a hair trunk. or 4, o.
of Slaymakers shirts, or wash stand.
Mrs. Slaymaker will not clean house this
summer, but Slaymaker has a windmill
that he is anxious to sell. He win prop
ably close 1t out cheap to purchaser who
wants to take it away right off.

The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-10-23

Tuesday night drunken fellow, as
he was going home, stopped at the
lime kiln north o.. the city to warm.
He leaned agaihstit and his clothes
caught fire. The men in charge of
the kiln, in attempting to extinguish
the fire, tore nearly all his clothes off
except his boots, and In that condition
he went home. The cold wind that
was blowing was probably soothing
to the numerous burns he sported, but
upon the whole we presume he did
not enjoy the situation.

81. Iosenh,s Chureb-A diGieu

st. JOseph's Church, difficulty
has occurred in the st. Joseph's
Church in this city, which resulted in
the retiring OF Father Biehn. The ex-
act nature of the affair Is net general
ly understood outside the Church, but
it seems to be a simple feeling Of dis
satisfaction of part of the members
against the Priest. Last summer a
petition was sent to Bishop Gilmour
asking for change. The Bishop in
dicated that It was not best TO make a
change In Prizes Is and declined. More
recently, and a short time SINCE a
series of resolutions were prepared
and largely signed by the members,
that there should be a change Of
Priests, and that under the then pres
ent management, the Church could
not go on prosperously. Tuesday last
the Bishop visited this city and had
conference with the members. 1t was
found impossible to heal the difficulty
and he took charge Of the Church and
locked it up. He gave the members
to understand that it was impossible
to send them g priest at once, bat that
it would bs done as soon as possible.
Father Biehn retired to the Asylum,
near the city, and is now in charge OF
that. What the ultimate result OF
this trouble will be is not known.
There were no services in the Church
last Sunday, and there viii probably
be none for some time.

JUDGE sLoANE's CARD.
The Register of Wednesday has III

The Register of Wednesday has the
following communication
Referring to the statement Of the
managers OF the Cincinnati, Sandus-
ky & Cleveland Railroad, published
yesterday, Judge Sloane desires TO
say that the object Of the adjourn
ment from six to eight O'Clock was in
the interim to convince by private
showing or otherwise, the stoekhold-
ers who, st the day session had de-
elared themselves as opposed to the
resolutions; that the adjournment
from eight to nine O'Clock was be-
cause of q meeting of the stockhold-
e1s Of q coal company in which all
were interested and attended; and
that it was not because of the absence
Of Judge Sloane who had said all he
wished to say in the afternoon, and
therefore, did not attend the evening
meeting, although he held and could
have voted good many thousand
shares Of stock had he SO desired.
One would suppose to read the inter-
view Of your reporter that all the
stockholders wanted was o change Of
management; as Judge Sloane's
time had expired, it will be seen at
once that to effect this object only,
no such action was required, and had
Judge Sloane seen fit to accept the Of
fers made TO him, mo such resolutions
slsOuLd hare been offered, and no ac-
tion had in the premises, and this
fact the public will please bear in
mind, and also, that, in consequence
OF Judge Sloane's course, the whole
facts mot resolutions and declarations
merely will be given to the public in
the courts of law, so that the extent
of Judge Sloane's unfaithfulness will
be fully made known and understood.
The public in Ohio are familiar
with the condition OF the railroad at
the time Judge Sloane assumed the
management of it, and they know
what it Is at present. Over half
million of dollars has been added to
its property in new equipments alone,
and in every respect, except in some
of its station buildings, it Is In sat-
isfactory and excellent condition.
E To accomplish all this, in addition
TO paying over $500, 10000 a year in
interest on bends and taxes out of
the earnings was impossible, and has
required the creating and car
rying of e large floating debt.
Yet the paper of the Com
pany has always been promptly
paid under Judge Sloane's manage
ment, and this too s0lGided, until
February 18th, 1873, since which time
$4S, 5000 have been advanced by
all others, and $21, ,250.OO by Judge
Sloane. Since his presidency OF the
road, seven years ago, he has always
gone on all bonds or Unidentified by
his personal obligations, other parties
In doing so.
Z The cash advances, liability and
risk thus assumed for the company,
no responsible business man in SAM
dusky or. elsewhere would assume
without much greater compensation
than everything which Judge Sloane
has directly, by salary or otherwise,
received.
OF all which a candid public can
judge when they have the facts
presented, as they will, In the courts
OF law.
Respectfully yours,
RUSH r. SLOANE.
