lFroml the Darlington Republican,
Terrible Accident in Montice1Ln-
Two Children Killed.
MaNgIcEMo, WIS.,, Feb, 25th 1874.

W
EDITORS OF THE REpuBL1cAN.-A
very serious and fatal accident occur
red at the school house in district No.
3, Of this town., on Friday evening,
which resulted in the death Of two of
Mr.. Thomas Halls children Ulysses,
aged ten, and little Becca, aged about
six. When school was dismissed that
evening these little ones started immedi-
ately towards home. in advance of the
other scholars that were going the
same road. just then Mr.. Brennan,
living in the town Of Gratiot, on his
way home from Apple River, drove
past the school house with spirited
span of horses The scholars made a
rush for the. sleigh, making consider
able noise with their dinner pals the
horses took fright and soon became un-
manageable, and ran Over little Beceas
and, doing so, delt her violent kick
lust over the left eye, knocking her
under the sleigh and killing her
Enthusiastically. The sleigh, contain
ing Mr.. Brennan and his sister and
several scholars, was then upset, and,
strange tosaya none of those in it were
hurt.
The horses then became detached from
the sleigh. and ran at fearful rate
down the road with the whifnetrees
flying above and all around Them and
atruck another of Mr.. Halls girls, in
fietipg very slight bruiss on her leg,
from which she has fully recovered.
Little Lyss., who did not have time to,
get out of the way, was run over and
kicked by one Of the. horses, over the
right eye, 1nficting terrible wound,
completely penetrating the skull and
rendering him insensible. The teacher,
W. T. Levitt, and Mr. Brennan car
ried the little ones home. a distance Of
nearly a mile. Little Becca lived
only five minutes after they got her into
the house. Doctors Garry and Shelf
field, of Apple River, were sent for,
and did all they could TO relieve the
little sufferer, but in vain. He linger-
ed in great agony till $50 o'clock On
Monday night, when death relived poor
little Lyss of his sufferings.
Thus, two bright and promising
children, but few hours before full Of
life and play, like flowers in full bloom,
are cut down in day. This should
be a warning to boys who are in the
habit of running after ard clinging
onto sleighs.
No blame whatever is attached to
Mr.. Brennan, who is a sober and in
dustrious young man, and is almost
frantic ever the sad eceuraLce.
The double funeral took place to-
day and was conducted by Revs Crum-
mer and Caldwell, and was attended
by neighborhood of 81 mpathizing
friends. w. T. ADAMS.

The "Refsam" Assembly is still in
che grasp of the Railroad Monopolists
On Wednesday morning a. motion to
reconsider the vote indefinitely post
poning the Senate bill providing that
railway companies shall be liable for
damages sustained by their employees,
was lost.
The Madison Democrat, the organ
Of the "Reformers," seeing the danger,
said, of this bill, awe eautis on the
members of the Assembly to consider
this bill eankdly and deliberately. II
is a serious question whether the Re
form Assembly can afford, in justice
or from. policy, to contribute to the de-
feat of this measure. The public
generally look with favor on it, and

asking the passage Of the BILL" But
it was no use. The monopolists have
the Assembly in their power, and are
determined to. use it this session at

SALUTATORY.

In accordance. with the announce
ment made in these columns last week
We commence witch tliiiis, iissua. our career
as editor and publisher of The DODGE
WILLIE CHRONICLE. and as is customary
in such cases, we shall endeavor to
set forth. briefly what may Be expected
of the CHRONICLE under our manage
ment.
Politically the CHRONICLE will ad-
here to that party which has maintained
the life of the nation against armed
rebellion; which has done justice to
the down-trodden and oppressed; which
las maintained the nation s, credit in
violate a gailst all efforts to repudiate it's
honest debts in any form which has
established equality before the law, and
whose cornerstone is equal and exact
.IastFce to- ALI men. 1t is a party that has
no need to change its name, or to profess
principles which it dotests in its heart
In oEdar to. catch votes. 1t is the party
of principle, the parity Of right. the
party in which the people believe
aAa Republican party Of the United
States.
But while we shall pay some atten-
tiom to the political questions Of the
day, we shall devote the greater part of
our energies to matters Of special i'm
portancs to- the people Of iowa county.
With the prospect brighs before US for
the amicable settlement and easy paw
ment Of the bonded debt which has
been hanging as pail over our county
Tor so many years, we predict for Iowa
county in the near future, an era Of
prosperity such as she has never before
Witnessed. With soil teeming with
agricultural wealth, ahd hills filed with
rich mineral deposits; with an abun
dance of timber, and with healthful
life giving streams coursing her beauti
full valleys, with a climate as healthy
as any in the world, and with popu-
lation intelligent, frugal aud industri-
aus,- she will NO, doubt maintain her
position among the frsh counties of
our rapidly growing State. And in
the work of encouraging immigration
and building up and sustaining home
manufactures and other useful institu~
lions /; in establishing and sustaining
her institutions Of learning and houses
Of worship; and in whatever tends to
promote the moral, intellectual and
material prosperity of the people of
slAis county, we hope to. have some
part.
And in advocating these principles
and laboring for the accomplishment
of these objects we respectfully ask
the support and cooperation of the
people Of Iowa county.

there will be eensamated one of the

Two Advertisers Who did not
Make Much Out of It.

In the Philadelphia Ledger last week
appeared the annexed advertisements
COSTA Lady's Gold Hunting Watch and
Chain, with seal and key attached. Liberal reward
at No. 1903 Spruce street,
'.FOUND I'm the western part of the city, a
Gold Watch and Chain. Apply, with written de-
scription. at No. 2026 Spruce street, between and
10 A. M
Now, it so happened that the loser Of
the watch did not see copy of the Ledger
until somewhat late in the day. Meantime
"a man called, and referring to the first
advertisement, led the looser to believe he
had her watch, and at the same time re-
quired her to describe the time piece
mlnutely. She did so, giving him the
number, &C., when he said, We'll, that's
not this watch and left. When. later in
the day, the parties of the second adver-
tiselnent were visited by the loser of the
watch, they answered that they had al
ready delivered it to party who had fully
described it.-Am. Newspaper Reporter.

It is obvious that one of the re-
suits that may be expected from the
pres ent upraising OF farmers is rec
obstruction Of the system of patents
that now obtains in this country
There is reason to believe that the re-
ISOLATION adopted by the joint convsn-
ton of the Agricultural and Horticul-
tural societies, at Madison, last week,
may embrace the basis of this reform.
It proposes in brief, that any person
shall be permitted to manufacture pat
sned articles upon the payment of a
royalty to the patendee. The question
r:mains, however, how shall the royal
ty be fixed ? For if that is left to the
holder of the patent, it would s,lll be-
in his power to secure himself in RIO
nopoly. Perhaps it may be found
practicable to. entrust that duty to the
bureau at Washington, SO that the
letters patent shall only entitle the
inventor or assignee to certain sum
for each of the articles manufactured,
the sum to be fixed with reference to
the merit of the invention.

Railroads ard their Emnoyess-

A bin was introduced, Febsuary Sd,
by Hon. Robert McCurdy, Senator
from Oshk osh, defining the liabilities
of railroad companies in relation to
damages sustained by their employees.
It declares that every railroad COM
pany operating in this State shall be
liable for all damages sustained by
any Of its agents or employees, result
inc from the carelessness Or negli-
gence of other agents or employees of
such company. 1t also prevents the
companies from making contract or
any regulation to exempt them ffom
liability. The Senate regarded this as
good bill !; just to those. engaged in
hazardous duties or about railway,
and asound measure for the protection.
Of the public.
Railroad travelling can be made-com
paratively safe by the constant vigilance
of railway men. There is no wind or
wave, snags or bars, to contend WITH.
as is the case on water n6 horses to
be frightened or uneven roads to- pass
as in stage coach journeys. There
are telegraph wires by the track which
connect with headquarters, where the
intelligence resides that controls all
operations, and should know where
every train i. Yet with all these APP
pliances there are fearful disasters,
often maeeabTe tes the carelessness, ex-
haustion from over work, or the stupid
ty of an agent or employee.
That the people and the press are
sometimes unjust in denouncing the
railway officials, where the accident is
unavoidable, may be true, but on the
other hand, they are far short of en-
forcing adeq uate punishment for the
guilty when there is guilt, and they do
not take proper measures to prevent
the recurrence of slaughters. We say
there would Dot be so many disasters.
ON railways, if the immediate manage
ment was in the hands Of vigilant,
trustworthy men.
There are. plenty of competent
workers in the community, but they
want fair wages, and having others de-
pendent upon them for support, they
naturally dislike to work where there
lis great danger, unless some provis-
ION is made for them in case they are
manned, Or for their representatives if
they are killed. The public want the
best men Employed, They are forced
to go on the roads more or less, and to
entrust their wives and children on
them, and they have right to demand
the services Of the best men to run the
business.
Furthermore, it is matter of jus
tice to men now at work, the old and
faithful employees who have families
growing up about their fresides that
provision be made in case Of accident.
But though this bill passed by the
Senate was SO clearly in the interests of
those workers who earn their bread by
hard toll, and in Drawing dangers, and
the travelling public are interested in any
measure that can add to the safety Of
travel, the railway influence was too
strong for the bill in the Assembly.
That reform body moved to indefinite
ly post pone the measure. There is
motion to reconsider which ought to
carry. We have talked with railway
old and tried workers, and
we know how they feel, They want a law
to protect them. The people want it.
WIFI tie reform Legislature refuse it ?
