The G. B. & NJ. Railroad is do
ing an immense wheat carrying bust
ness. The western freight comes in
with from twenty to forty carloads of
wheat daily. Forty-three car loads
came in one night last week. The
company think of putting on a special
wheat train. The wheat is principally
from the Trempeleau Valley thus far.
When Minnesota shall have begun to
pour out her millions of bushels the
road will have become one Of the
grandest wheat carrying roads in the
world.

THE Wisconsin Supreme Court re-
Gently decided case which is some
what new in its character. A father had
directed his child in attendance upon. a
public school to study reading, writing
spelling, and arithmetic" but not to
study geography. The teacher, with
knowledge of this parental instruction {?
insisted upon the youth S studying geog-
raphy, and when he refused she admin
istered the rod. There upon the father
caused the teacher to be prosecuted for
assault and battery. but the prosecution
was dismissed on the teachers motion,
and she thereupon brought this action
for malicious prosecution. The Court
below had charged that when a parent
sent his child to school he surrendered
to the teacher such authority over the
child as was necessary to the proper
government of the school, the classifi-
cation and instruction of the pupils in
Guiding what studies each scholar shall
pursue. But the Supreme Court held
that this was wrong in so far as it appli-
ed to studies that the parent has right
to make reasonable selection from the
prescribed studies for his child to pur-
sue, and that the teachers assault upon
the boy was uniustifable.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Over 800 Persons Killed by an
Explosion is a Cole Mine.

London, December G.-The colliery
at which the dreadful explosion occurr-
ed to-day belongs to Mitchell e Co.,
and is one of the largest in Southern
Yorkshire. 1t is joined by underground
workings with Edmunds' main collery,
where II years ago yesterday over 300
persons perished. The works extend
for many miles. They are entirely wor
ked with safety lamps, under very rigid
discipline, and were considered safe.
AT o'clock this morning about 800
men and boys descended and COM
menced work as usual. At 80 o'clock
terrible explosion occurred. The ex-
act position of the explosion is at pre-
sent unknown, but the miners in all parts
of it were startled by loud report fol-
lowed by large volumes of smoke and
after damp. Those who were able to,
rushed to the pit bottom, but the draw
ing cage was displaced. AS soon as pos
sible volunteers organized to search for
the dead and dying, and those who had
escaped after being down for some time.
The volunteers reported about noon that
they met with a great difficulty. They
saw many who were alive but unconsci-
Gus. 1t is impossible now to give the
number lost. 1t is feared that the first
report of 200 will be confirmed, though
the managers of the colliery hope that
many may be saved. The operatives in
all colleries of the district are on the
spot ready and anxious to do all possible
for the relief of the sufferers All local
surgeons have also arrived. All those
rescued thus far are seriously burned
and injured. Hundreds OF men, women
and children are congregated at the
mouth of the pit, and as the disfgured
bodies are drawn to the surface, there
were scenes of the most heart-rending
character.

THE SPEED OF RAILWAY TRAINS.

Trains are now run at about the rate
OF forty miles all hour-sometimes much
faster, and generally somewhat slower.
The fastest trains in England run at
sixty miles an hour. To run at this rate,
the piston OF driving-rod of the locomo-
tive must travel at the speed of 800 feet
Per minute, or so rapidly that it cannot
be seen to move at all. George Steph-
enson, the first to claim that the locomo-
tive could run at twelve miles an hour,
was called insane until he proved it. It
was but few years after this that prom
inent engineers said that railway trains
could be regularly run at the rate of 100
miles IN hour; and dStephenson was again
called insane because he said that fifty
miles an hour was as fast as trains could
be regularly and safely run. But it is
now discovered that he was nearly right,
and lccomotive-ma are no longer
building engines to run faster than at
this rate. But they are trying, instead,
to save the time lost in taking coal and
water for supplying the engines.
On some lines long open trough 40
feet long, is laid between the rails. This
is filed with water. AS the locomotive
passes at the speed of fifty miles an hour
a pipe OF scoop is lowered from it into
this trough, the water. is thus dipped up
and placed in the water-box for use by
the engine. Another Invention is huge
box raised above the road and filed
with coal. As the locomotive passes, it
touches a spring, the box turns upside
down, and the coal drops into the tend
Ell, which runs behind the locomotive.
The time which is thus saved will of
course make the trips shorter, without
calling for an increase of speed. It may
be that when you are grown, railway
trains will not be run any faster than
they are now; but, in spite of what
George Stephenson has prophesied, I
suspect some future American engineer,
who is now boy, will find means of
running twice as fast as they are now
run, and hope with greater safety to the
passengers.-.S Nicholas for Decene-
Der.

THERE is now little doubt that sub
terranean vein of water extends under a
greater portion of this city lying north
of the river. The average depth from
the surface is about So feet, and when
the vein is well reached the water rises
in the well to within few feet of the
top. The vein was first struck by
Heisinger Brothers, as viii be renem-
bered, and the workmen had much diff
Guilty in escaping, on account of the rush
of water. Beckwith had the same expert
ence on reaching the same depth, and
on Friday last j. j. Moore, digging for
water to supply this Office, struck the
same vein at the same depth, and the
water poured in with such rapidity as to
fill the well in a short time. The water
in these wells is inexhaustible, and when
once reached it forms perpetual spring
of the purest of water. There is no
doubt remaining that this vein can be
tapped anywhere in the vicinity of these
wells already sunk, by going down 50
feet-OsHkOsh Northwestern.

JACK TURNER'S TRoUBLE.-Jack Tur
ner, of The Portage Register, who it
seems has been mistaken for John Tur-
ner, of The Mauston Star, says Here
is rather an awkward fix. We have The
Chicago Times which contains quite a
flattering notice of Rev. Lewis Raymond.
That man is our uncle, on our wife's
side, and he makes in mighty lively,
they say, for his Satanic Majesty"
when he takes off his coat and spits on
his hands and invades his dominions.
We'd like to take that paper home and
let Mary read it, but the misery of it is,
right in the next colum is an account of
how ''Mad Jack Turner" tried it and
did shoot himself at Madison the other
day ; and it lets on as though that fel-
low was us. Mrs. T.. would De teetotal-
ly and essentially disgusted If she should
see that article. (Right here some
miserable wretch will say that the disgust
would come in because it wasn't true,
but it amt so.) Uncle Lewis, too, is
just as badly disgusted as we are. He
would like to buy five extra copies Of
that paper and send them to his numer-
GUS friends in all parts of the world, but
then he don't like to circulate a paper
that contains an article that might and
probably would be construed as referr-
ing to his respected nephew, and SO he
must do without them. Really, this is
a very awkward predlcament. We al
ways knew that there was going to be
more trouble growing out of this Mrs.
Ingersoll affair, ever since the witnesses
and doctors in the case sent in their
bills to us for payment, year ago, after
John Turner had cleared the woman on
a charge of murder. We tried then to
get John to change his name, OF move
out of this State, but he was perverse
and obstinate and wouldn't do it, and
now he is tsgnawing file'.
