ANOTHER meeting of the stockholders
in the elevator enterprise was held at
Klingholz Hall last Tuesday evening,
but owing to some informaIity in the
bylaws and rules governing the Asso-
citation, the election of officers and a
Board of Directors was not reached, and
another meeting will therefore be held
next Saturday evening. Having no in
terest in that enterprise further than a
desire to see it in such condition that
our city and county will be benefited
Gas will be the case as soon as wheat can
be purchased here at higher prices) it
may be out of place to advise the gen
tlemen having the project in hand ; but
it is apparent to us, and also to others,
that unless decisive step is taken soon,
the interest now felt in the building Of
an elevator will cool down, and in the
end result in the demise of the under
taking. Hurry up, gentlemen Time
is money.

THE storm on the lake during Thurs
night and Friday was one Of the seyerest
ever experienced, and the loss of life
and property occasioned thereby Is ap-
palling. At this port considerable dam
age was done, the huge waves rolling
into the mouth of the river and creating
heavy swell quite Il distance up stream,
and the steamers and sailing vessels
which came here for shelter were COM
PEELED to go above the bridges to find
smooth water. The steamer Chicago,
which left Milwaukee at 9 o'clock, did
not reach her dock here until noon on
Friday, and sustained much injury by
having her furniture wrenched from its
fastenings. She had terrible battle
with the storm, and nothing but the
excellent management of her officers
saved her from being wrecked.

THE HEARTLFsS DEED
LOSS OF THE PROP. EQUINOX.

BY the arrival Of the schooner Emma
A. Mayes at Chicago, Saturday morning,
a most terrible disaster, arising from the
great storm of Thursday night, is
brought to light, disaster involving the
loss OF the propeller Equinox with all on
board.
The Equinox left Saginaw Sunday
evening deeply laden with a cargo of
salt and lumber, having in tow the
schooner Emma 4. Mayes. The vessel
were struck by the gale at about II
O'Clock Thursday night, some distance
east OF Point au Sauble. The wind blew
furiously from the northeast, but they
managed to plow through without much
difficulty until within twelve miles of the
point. 1t was then 2 O'Clock Friday
moring. The propeller was laboring
heavily, and appeared uHmanageable.
No signs however, came from the
Equinox that all was not right, and the
first intimation of trouble was an order
to ''let go the towline, " followed by the
screams of women, ''We are drowning
We are drowning !" The towline had
scarcely been cast adrift. when Capt.
Lusk, OF the Mayes, looking toward the
propeller, saw her breach to, roll over.
and disappear beneath the angry waters.
Those on board the schooner stood
amazed. They heard female voice
crying when the boat went down, ssMy
God, we are LOST" but, besides this
nothing but the roaring of the waves
and the bowling wind could be heard.
Not trace of the unfortunate craft was
visible anywhere, and, with sad hearts.
stunned by the fearful catastrophe, the
crew of the Mayes were forced by the
elements to leave the spot without being
able to lend helping hand.
The Equinox was commanded by Capt.
Dwight Scott, of Cleveland o., who
was the owner of the boat. He had Icc-1,o
been q sea-faring man, and hi success.
lively commanded the iironsides. the S.
ID. Caldwell, and the Gov. Cushman.
Ihere were three passengers Oh board
the propeller, one being Miss Minnie
Scott, q granddaughter, and another
young lady, whose name could not be
learned. Miss Minnie Scott was aged
10, and, it is said, was at home on q va
cation when the trip around the lakes
was proposed for pleasure and recreation.
The granddaughter resided at Cleveland
and was II years of age. Capt. Scott was
well known on the lakes. He has son
residing at Cleveland, but it is under
stood that he has no wife. The sailing
master was Capt. G. Woodruff The
engineer was FL. Preston, and was q
resident of Cleveland. It is not defini-
tely known how many lives were lost
by the catastrophe. Twenty-Five per-
sons were known to have been aboard,
though some place the number at TWEEN
ty-five.
The Equinox was built in Cleveland
about fifteen years ago, and was
thoroughly over hauled during the win
ter of 1873, at an expense of about $I3,
900. She was $40 tons burden, rated Az.
and valued at $50, 200. Besides q lsroe
deckload CT lumber, she had on board
5130 barrels of salt, valued at $4,000, and
insured in the Paaiinllc Mutual for $1,000.

Mr.. o. ToRRIsoN Will return from the
East this week, bringing with him one
of the finest stocks of fall and winter
goods which has ever been opened in
this city, embracing all the best and
newest articles in his various lines.
Knowing Mr.. Torrison's experience in
selecting goods adapted to the wants of
this section, our readers will await with
anxiety his return and an opportunity to
purchase the good things he will lay be-
fore them. Among other things, stock
of carpets will be opened whichin extent
and quality will far surpass anything
heretofore kept by him, and as they will
range IN price from 25 cents to $500 a
yard, our citizens may rest assured
that they can procure anything in that

YESTERDAY, while the schooner ALE
ghany was picking up her tow-line on
the bay, it became SO firmly fastened to
something upon the bottom that tug
had to assist in freeing it. AS the line,
on examination, was found covered with
green paint, the superstition is that it
was foul of the tug Ida III. Lee, sunk
some two years ago. The place where
the Allegheny was lying is about three
quarters of mile northeast of the har-
Dor piers, while the accident to the tug
occurred much farther out. It is, how
ever, possible, that the action of the
water may have carried the wreck toward
shore. The locality mentioned will be
swept over by the owners of the Lee on
the first favorable opportunity

The following sharp trick, which is
being played upon farmers in some parts
of the State, is thus exposed by the De
Pere News:
A couple of sharpers play shrewd
game i'll places south of US. They hunt
for estray animals. One gets the descrip
ton of an estray horse taken up by a
farmer and gives it to the farmer and
claims the horse, giving the description
of it as evidence that he had owned and
lost it. Usually he would state that he
was long distance from home and pro-
pose to sell the animal for much less than
its value rather than be troubled to get
it home. The farmer general accepted
the proposition and paid the money,
when the scoundrel would decamp.
Farmers would do well to remember
that the identity of estrays is to be prov
en- before Justice of the Peace.

THE New York Evening Post, con-

an article on the business outlook, which
is encouraging. 1t says that inquiry
among the business men of the metrop-

of buyers in the wholesale market is larg-
er than usual, in fact nearly double that
in former years since the panic, but that
they are buying prudently and largely
for cash. This indicates general revi-

mills in this city had shut down for want
of wheat. There is not q particle Of
truth in the statement. and those papers

AN ELEGANT STOCK.

Vita the fiattering prospects for a
lively trade this season, our merchants
are preparing for the demand which will
be made upon them. Among these, Mr..
A. f. Klingbeil is prominent as having
laid in, this week, the finest assortment
OF wares in his line which has ever been
displayed in any store III the city, de-
soriptiOn Of which would fill columns.
Knowing that our readers appreciate a
ton n few OF the prominent articles
which go to make up his elegant stock,
and commence on a lot of popular books
which now grace the shelves of his es-
adjustment, principal among which
are several finely bound volumes Of
''Sherman's Memories breakfast,
Luncheon and Tea by Marion Har
land; ''Toinette, the novel of the day !;
'The Mishaps of Mr.. Pelter ;" My Opin-
ion and Betsey Bobbet's,' very read
able book and o large selection of his
torical and scientific works by popular
authors. A book OF Familiar Quota
TONS is a fine thing, and keeps com
pany with Spencer's "Faerie Queen, :"
Carleton's ''Farm Ballads, :" Longfellow's
Hanging of the Crane''-a 81. SO edi
tion, the first out Bret Harte's and a
book of "Engish Poems." and many
other standard productions, among which
are those of Shakespeare, Hood, Byron,
Moore, Burnes, Tennison, Whittier and
Owen Merideth. In school books, Mr.
Klingbeil has everything needed in any
of the schools of this and adjoining
counties, together with fine line Of
globes, stationery and other school appar-
atus. Blank Books he keeps of every size,
style and price, from the mammoth 200
page ledger down to 3 cent pass book,
and has everything in the line of paper,
envelopes, ink, gold pens and holders,
fine cut-glass inkstands, letter presses,
letter books, ETC., to match. OF German
prayer books he has large and very
complete assortment, as also of the works
of German authors, in rich binding.
Among other novelties recently received
is q full assortment of sterevscopes
and views, which will have to be seen to
be appreciated, also fine selection of
imported morocco goods, such as port
monies, pocket books, memorandas,
travelling companions, ETC., which Mr..
Klingbeil delights in showing. Among
miscellaneous goods may be mentioned
a lot of genuine meerschaum pipes and
cigar-holders, and the finest assortment
of cigars and tobacco in Northern Wis
consin. In window shades and curtain
fixtures, pictures, frames, brackets and
other ornaments he has au excellent
stock, while his supply of wall paper is
simply immense. He has made an eff
fort to lay before our people a stock of
goods which has never before been
equalled, and an examination of it shows
how well he has succeeded. en- our
readers want anything in that line, we
advise them to give A. T. call, and if
he hasn't got what you want, he will
order it for you, always delivering the
same at prices much lower than have
heretofore ruled here. He has a first
class stock, and the public would only
be doing the fair thing by showing their
appreciation of his efforts to please the
public by giving him a hearty patronage.
He deserves it, and will make it to your
interest to do SO.

acted a cowardly part in deserving the
old father of the captain, and the two

haste in the launching Of the small boat,
but foi: which number of others from
the vessel could have been saved The
action OF the captain in deserving his
wife and father, and not looking to
it that they were placed in the boat, is
unaccountable, and is aggravated by the
fact that he and his son were the first to
enter the small boat. On the other
hand, there is grandeur III the heroism
OF several of those who were left, includ-
ing the second engineer, who did all in
his power to assist Mrs. Fairbanks.
This lady, also, it is remarked, after
