THE most elegant stock of jewelry,
consisting in part of gold and silver
watches and chains, necklaces, bracelets
and the hundred other beautiful articles
which go to make up frst-class assert
ment of such goods, may be found at
Mr.. E. Ranch's establishment on York
Street. No more appropriate and
serviceable Christmas gift can be made
than some article of silver ware. and in
that line Mr.. Ranch has stock from
which the most fastidious can select and
go away perfectly satisfied. The holi-
days are approaching. Call on Mr..
Ranch and make your selections before
the choicest are sold.

ONE of the principal cases which has
occupied the attention of the present
term of the Circuit Court is brought by
Stephen Hubbard against w. l.. Taylor
ct al, for damages amounting to $4,000.
Mr.. Hubbard put steam engine and
boiler into his mill, purchased from w.
L. Taylor, which was not in order and
the mill could not be run more than
half the time. Hubbard claims that he
has lost custom, ETC., to the amount
above mentioned, and now sues the
parties manufacturing and selling the
engine for redress. This is another
fact which goes to prove that home in
dustries should be patronized especially
when such inducements are offered as
can be found here. Manitowoc me-
chanics can build just as good engines,
and furnish them just as cheap as any
city in the United States, and Mr.. Hub
bard, should he lose his case, will agree
with us that it is better for every man to
leave his money at home in preference
to sending it to another State for articles
which he can get just as cheaply and as
good.

BOLD ROBBERY.
$500 Worth of Goods Stolen from G. L.
Ryder's Establishment.
A Suggestion to our City Fathers.

Another of those daring burglaries
for which this city is becoming noted
was perpetrated at G. L. Ryder's boot
and shoe store, corner Eighth and Com
mercial Streets, some time between Sat
urday night and Monday morning. The
perpetrator forced open the door to
an apartment opening upon the rear end
of the hall in the second story of their
establishment, and stole manufactured
stock to the estimated value of five hun
dred dollars. No clue as to the identity
Of the robber, or the whereabouts Of the
goods has been obtained, and we fear
Mr.. Ryder has seen the last of them.
For years, Manitowoc enjoyed the rep
utation of being free from the presence
of burglars, and the precautions taken
at the time to guard the property of our
citizens against their depredations were
ample During the past four months,
no less than six robberies have been
committed here, the amount of the prop
erty stolen and never recovered footing
up over 81 900. Their frequency during
the past few months, and the success
with which they are committed, makes
the existence of an organized band OF
thieves in this city fact which all will
admit upon reflection and to break up
that gang, or lead to its capture, is On
object which our citizens cannot longer
afford to neglect. Either the business
men must combine and employ special
watchmen at their own cost, OF our city
authorities must appoint and maintain a
regular police force and we believe the
! latter would be the most 81 isfactory.-
Manitowoc is not the place it was five
years ago. It is getting metropolitan.
With the accession of railroads and in
| creased population, a class of people has
come here which needs more watching
| than was the case when every man knew
| his neighbor and a robbery created an
excitement among it's staid citizens
which was spoken of for weeks. Men
from abroad will not locate in city
where the authorities make no provision
for the protection of their property.
| Decisive measures should be adopted,
and we expect the City Council, at Its
next regular meeting, to agitate the CUES
ton and adopt some plan which will
make burglary dangerous crime with
in our city limits.

ssTHE BEAUTIFUL Snow" commenced
falling last Saturday night, and con-
tinued persistently all day Sunday, to
the Joy of the lumberman and farmer,
but to the great sorrow of a large num-
Der of boys and girls. To the sorrow Of
the latter, because it spoils their skating.
Saturday was gala day for them. Jack
Frost had been busy, for several days
and nights, in building bridge over
the river, not a puny bridge, like those
built by our mortal city fathers, twenty
odd feet wide, but one that extends
over the whole length of the river. The
material was as bright and transparent
as crystal, (you could see the fishes
swimming under it,, and as smooth as
polished plate glass. The river was
perfectly crowded with skaters, young
and old, of both sexes, till dark. No
accidents happened. Occasionally a
boy or girl, OF both at once, would sit
down on the ice with great deal Of
emphasis, as though they meant it, but
they didn't. They all had fine time.
Now 1t is al spoiled, but they have the
prospect Of new pleasures with their
sledS,

OBITUARY.

Died, in Chemintz, Saxony, on the
4th ut. after an illness of two weeks,
FIR. BORCHERDT, aged 81 years.
The sad intelligence Of the death Of
our grandfather, at his advanced age,
was not unlocked for. 1t seems IS
though by an interposition OF Provid-
ence it was appointed that our father, al
ter lapse OF % years, should again be
Dernitted to see hin in the full enjoy
ment of health only two OF three weeks
before his death, and be present to com
fort and stay his aged mother IN her al
fiction. We tender our sympathy to
those more directly afflicted than we IN
the decease of one who through life was
honored and beloved as only the truly
good can be.

respondents.
MEME,

We are called upon to chronicle the
sad news of the death of Mrs. Annis
Danforth, wife of VIM. Danforth, after
patient suffering for three years of con-
sumption. She breathed her last on the
morning OF the 10th inst. About year
ago she was partially deprived of speech,
conversing only in whisper. Her sick
ness bali 4 the skill of many physicians
both at home and abroad. Everything
was done by her husband for her relief,
but to no avail. God saw fit to call one
of his children home. She lived an ex-
emplary Christian life, and was a dutiful
wife, kind mother, and esteemed and
loved by all who knew her. All those
intimately acquainted with her feel that
they have lost true friend who cannot
be replaced in this community. The
funeral services were performed on the
10Th inst. by Rev. Mr.. Siers, of Ply
mouth. The text was chosen from Rev
Citations, 18th chap. 18th verse s'Blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord His
discourse impressed every one present
of the necessity of being prepared to
meet death. A large number of sympa-
thizing friends were present, forming a
procession seldom seen in this commu-
nifty. She leaves husband and child
rem ID mourn her loss. Mr. Danforth
and family have the heartfelt sympathy
of the entire cO01D111nIty

THE FIRE FIEND.
Guttmann & Grabo's Tannery Entirely
Destroyed.

Between the hours of two and three
Sunday morning the large tannery Of
Messrs. Guttmann & Grabo, located be-
tween Seventh and Eighth Streets, near
the southern limit of the city, was dis
covered to be in flames, and despite the
efforts Of many people to prevent it.,
was entirely consumed, together with
all the stock on hand, tools and ap-
paratus. The origin of the fire is
shrouded in mystery. Mr.. Guttman in
forms us that the fire IN the boiler was
allowed TO burn out at five o'clock on
the afternoon previous, and that there
was no stove or other heating apparatus
in the building at the time. When the
flames were first discovered they were
still ten feet from the boiler. The loss
to the owners is estimated at $1,000
$4,000 on building and machinery and
$4,000 on manufactured stock, on the
whole of which there is Insurance to the
amount Of $4,000 in the Northwestern
National of Milwaukee.
The opinion prevails that the fire was
the work of an incendiary, and when we
consider the fact that large watch
dog, kept in the tannery during the
night, was poisoned a few nights before.
one is lead to the belief that the de
struction of the property was a prened
itated act.
Messrs. Guttman & Grabo will COM
mence rebuilding their tannery as soor
as the warm weather makes it possible
and with their energy and tact will ere
long be again in successful operation, te
| which end they have the best wishes o.
| our citizens.

ST. JAMES CHURCH.

The repairs on St. James Episcopal
church have just been completed. The
interior has been entirely renovated.
Most of this work was done weeks ago,
but we have said nothing about it, wait
ing till all was done. The old gallery
has been removed. The dingy brown
color of the walls changed to very
light drab, and the woodwork hand
somely grained. The horrible paint on
the window of the chancel has been
scraped off, and all the glass frosted.
The work was done by Geo. Cox, the
painter, and well done too. The old pews
have been taken out, and replaced by
handsome oak ones, trimmed with black
walnut; these were made after the pat
tern of those in the Presbyterian church.
Lastly two handsome chandeliers, each
with eight lights. have been suspended
in the body of the church, and four
double-Eght brackets, one behind the
pulpit and reading desk re spectively,
and one on each side Of the chancel
| These chandeliers and brackets were
furnished By O. r. Bacon, and compare
favorably in style and appearance with
any we have seen in larger cities. The
church is virtually new, as far as its
interior is concerned. It is well lighted
and warmed, and is very comfortable.
If men that profess to entertain views in
accordance with that church would at
tend the services, there would be a more
sociable feeling in the congregation.
The musical part Of the services could
also be greatly improved, although great
advance has already been made during
the last month. A couple of male
voices in the choir would add the now
lacking completeness in the singing of
the hymns.
We congratulate Mr.. DeForrest, the
rector, on the energy he has displayed
in getting these much needed improve
ments made. He expresses himself
much pleased with the efforts the con-
gregation have made, and says he would
rather continue with his parish that
take the see of the new bishopric just
established.

The approach of Christmas is hailed
with delight by children. A present is
in expectancy, and the Joy of ant1cipa-
ton is often greater than in the realiza-
ton. The joys Of Christmas presents
is by no meansconfned to the children.
Persons of all ages look forward with
hope, in the belief that they will be re-
membered in some way. The pleasure of
being remembered is about the same in
persons of all ages. Different things may
afford that pleasure, according to age
and circumstances, A little candy is
enough to max glad the hearts of small
children; a graduation of toys is added
with growth; then comes the jewelry,
books, &c.; and as age and practical life
creep on, useful gift, one that gives
solid comfort to every day life, becomes
more satisfactory. The inventive genius
is busy in producing articles to crafty
all fancies, and all ages of life; and our
dealers are not behind those of any 9th
er place, in supplying their stocks SO as
to meet all wants. Our toy, jewelry,
book and fancy stores are filed with
choice articles-both useful and orna-
mental. No one need go out of the city
to select Holiday presents, whether the
articles desired are costly and highly
ornamental, or whether practical and
useful-all can be found in Manitowoc.
Let our friends look about the city, and
they will find this to be the case.

A SERIOUS accident befell Mr.. John

A SERIOUS accident befell Mr.. John
Kreuger last Tuesday. While seated on
a load of wood, which he intended
bringing to the city, he approached the
railroad crossing on the Neshoto road
Just as the train was coming up. His
horses became frightened, ran away, and
throwing Mr.. Kreuger to the ground
with great violence broke the bones Of
the right arm in two places and fractured
the collar bone. DR.. Brown, who has
the gentleman in charge, says the arm
presented a fearful appearance, the
bones being splintered, and protruding
from the flesh in two places. The I'M
fortunate man is doing comparatively
well and viii not, in the opinion of his
physician, lose the injured member.

operation. It is a double circular mill
-54132, saws and has a cutting capac-
ity of from 10m to 15m per day. The

The facilities for obtaining lumber now

fences, and the rapid building up of the
fourishing little village of Vaudeville.
