Alleged Overcharge.

There are rumors of a suit against The St.
Paul Railway for an alleged overcharge on
lumber carried from Lowrie's on the West
Wisconsin Railway to Sparta, on the ST.
Paul. The case Is said to be the result of
a difference in the rate of shipment over
two lines. The law is So per carl DAD for
the first 25 miles, and SIS for the second.
The shipper Mr.. G. B. Holden, was charged
in all $2l per carload, when, under the law,
the tariff for the dstance-46 miles-is but
$l3. of course, the West Wisconsin charg-
ed for its fraction of rs miles SO; the St.
Paul charged So for the first % miles, and
IS for its fraction of another-the distance
being Is miles on the West Wisconsin. and
80 on tie st. Paul Railway Milwaukes

w OrIS Stoned,

The mason work on the rev ST. Bernard
Catholic Church, has been stopped for the
season. The brick work on the ide wall
is completed with but little remaining to be
done on the end walls. Carpenter work is
stlh being prosecuted on the building but
we understand nearly all work will be sus-
pended before long, to be resumed again in
the spring. Few can have any proper idea
OF the immense proportions of the building
until they take view Of the inside when
its colossal dimensions can be fully realized
When 6nis he'd Saint Bernard's will not on
ly eclipse in size all other church buildings
in the state, but in the West, with the ex-
ception, we believe, of one or two in Chi
cago.

a big thing this season in the sorghum

manufactured by Mr.. Edwards we must say
that it equals any thing we have seen in the
last five years, of the sorghum kind.

Gas Matters.

The operations of the Watertown Gas
Company in laying pipes through the streets
have been closed for the season. But for
the unwise policy pursued by majority of
our Board of Street Commissioners work
would be still continued for month or
more by the Company. The gas company
were prepared to lay 600 feet of main pipe
on Main Street to the Union school build
ing No. l, intending also to supply several
residences desiring gas. The company,
however, had to give up the idea of laying
these pipes as no assistance could be obtain
ed from the city in the way of erecting
street lamps. A petition signed by the
taxpayers of the I'd Ward called for the
laying of these pipes with view Of having
this darkened part of the city, lighted with
gas. On 9Th street, north of Main, the
German Methodist and Lutheran Churches,
wish to be supplied, and a number Of
residents is this locality were DESTROYS
Of having gas. But the wishes of these
parties had to be ignored as the company
and make other necessary expenditures
without being compensated in return by a
street consumption. The past season the
company have made some additions to their
list of consumers, and, Notwithstanding
the opposition in certain quarters, have laid
pipe through several streets heretofore I'M
supplied. On West Main street, Fourth
Ward, the pipes have been extended to the
residence of VIM NJ. Dennis, and lamps
will be erected on this street. The pipes
would have been extended through several
streets in the 9Th Ward, if a majority of the
Board had entertained the proposition tc
erect few street lamps. Thus the plans
of the gas company as well the wishes OF
those interested in having their residences
supplied with gas, have been frustrated
through tie policy pursued by majority
Of the Board. We think the wishes Of the
tax payers should have some weight with
the Board in deter mining what course to pur.
sue on this question. If an actual majority
of the tax payers favor the extension o.
gas through portions of the city it would
seem that their des Tres in the premis e.
should be entert aimed and not defeated
There may be some sound reason for tn.
action taken by the Board in this mattel
Of gas extension and il 50 we would bt
glad to hear something on the subject.

The Election,

Election day this year fell upon one o (
the finest fall days of the season, and the
| fair weather as we'll as the excitement
| aroused over some candidates called out a
large vote Notwithstanding the intense
interest manifested over some of the ques-
tions at issue, we have learned of no dis.
turbance at any of the polling places in the
city. The election was mixed affair and
| never before were there SO many split
tickets in the field To a certain extent
party lines seemed to be ignored and it was
good deal of IN ''every body for himself
Congressman, c. B. Skinne", for Sena tor
and ". E. Dervin, for County Clerk, led
their ticket largely on the Republican side
Joseph Giles for sheriff ran ahead of his
associates on the Democratic Reform icket
The fight on Assembly man, settled down to
a contest between the Union League can
didate, August Volkman, and Christian
Mayer, the regular Reform nominee. The
Republicans having made no nomination
for the Office they were left free to choose
from between Messrs. Vokman and Mayer.
The friends Of both candidates strongly con.
tested the ground all day. The result was
the election of Mr.. Mayer by a majority
of about 200 in the district. Mr.. Volkman,
carried the city, but Mr. Mayer reco vered
the lost ground in the two towns outside,
making the result very similar to the one
on Assemblyman last year when Mr. Beck
man, independent, was elected over, Mr..
P. Devy, by the vote of the towns of Ixona
aud Watertown.
The Democratic County ticket is un-
doubtedly elected BY the usual majority
with the exception of the candidates for
Senator and County Clerk, the Republican
nominees for these Offices running some
what ahead of their ticket in different
parts of the county. Mr.. Caswell has re-
duced the majority against him in the coun-
ty to 274, whid is a very Aattering

reform assemblyman in the I'd District is
elected by the usual democratic majority

lican, in the Sd District is elected by about

just as we are going to press we learn of
the death of Mr.. Lester Atwood, of Lake
Mills, which took place on Saturday nigLt
last. We are unable to state the exact age
of Mr.. Atwood, but think he was about
seventy. He was one of the first, if not the
first settler of Lake Mills, having settled
there, we think, in 1887.

They are yearlings, and the price paid was

On Saturday morning last at about 9
O clock, the sad intelligence reached this
village that Gay Hayden had met his death
by the accidental discharge of gun in his
own hands. We are enabled to give the
following particulars of the sad affair -
The deceased was about Is years of age
he was living with his parents, who are
farmers, and reside about one mile west of
the village limits on the Lake Mills road.
Early Saturday morning he took his gun
and started to look for the cows; he came
towards the village, crossed the west Craw-
fish river bridge and turned into the pas
ture OF field just north of the road pro-
ceeded up the east bank of the Craw-
fish about so rods from the road where the
accident occurred. 1t is supposed that he
stepped upon large log to look over the
land for the cows, and in raising his gun
by the muzzle the cock must have caught
in a mitch and discharged. The gun was
found standing 10y the log and circumstances
Justify the above conclusions. Mrs. Geo.
Hieleman was in sight and the discharge,
saw the smoke, heard the young man hal
| 10 and saw him fall from the log. She
| Immediately ran to him, but seeing that
she could DO nothing alone, she ran for
help, but before assistance could be got he
was to far gone to be saved. The whole
charge from the gun entered the right leg
just above the knee, q little on the inner
side and passed directly up between the
skin and bone severing the femeral artery,
the young man bled to death. He ex-
pired in just about one hour after receiving
the wound.
He was the oldest son Of c. w. and Mary
Hayden, and was born and raised in this
town and was we'll known and respected.
His mother was. visiting friends in Mime
sofa at the time of the accident.
The Rev. 0. Winchester, of this village
has received call to preach at Furges
| Falls, in Minnesota. He has accepted the
