her valuable citizen were on board
the ill-fated steamer. Among the
names of the saved not one of the
eighteen from Milwaukee are report
ed and mourning is rife throughout
the city. The families of those who
were on board are constantly receiv-
ing kilograms from friends in New
York, but the same story il only res
peattd in each dispatch-no news
from the Mllwaukeeans. Yesterday
was one of much anxiety and sus"
pense to the people of this city.
From the opening of the telegraph
Offices until the the close thereof,
large crowds were gathered around,
painfully awaiting each dispatch, in
the hope that some one of the nuns
Der might be saved, but they were
doomed to disappointment. Never,
| since the burning of the Lady Elgin,
has the news of a marine disaster so
deeply affected the citizens of Mill
waukee. The loss of the steamer
and the probable chance of yet learn
ing that some were saved is the allah
sorbing theme of conversation. The
| probabilities are that not one will
Fever be heard from. Among the list
| of those who were on the Schiller,
was the name of Marcus Sein, of the
firm of Slein Bros, deslers in bats
and caps; Henry Friend, senior menu
Der of the firm of Friend Bros, cloth
ing merchants; Joseph Schlitz, one
of the heaviest brewers in Milwaukee;
Herman Zinkeisen,a prominen kmem-
Der of the Cham Der of CONNER ce, to-
gether with Mrs. Maria Miltner and
child.
At last news have been received
that navigation to the lower lakes
can rafely be resumed and consider
able activity is manifested among
shippers and vessel owners. A large
number of sailing vessels are loaded
and making their exit from the bar
Dor. Rates for carrying freight are
fairly ruinous and owners of vessels
are at constant loss, be they run
ming or lying up. Hopes ere enter
tanned that brighter future is in
store for the ship owners, as large
amount of capital has of late years
been invested in that direction.
The peaceful citizens of the West
Side were somewhat startled yester.
day noon by the shooting of prom
inent business man on the corner of
Spring and Second streets, near the
Mitchell house. The parties to the
shooting were brothers-in- law. The
one shot being Mr.. Chas Parnien, of
the well known firm of Parnien Bros.
& Co, and the assassin Capt. Ernst
Horzberg, at one time commander OF
the 1st Wis. Battery. Horzberg
married sister of Parnien and the
Parnien Bros. were instrumental in
causing a separation and disruption
of the family, as il is claimed by the
Captain, and violent demonstrations
and chickering's have been rife with
them for years and which ended yes
terday by the Captain sneaking up
behind Parnien and, unlike brave
soldier, shooting him in the back.
The would-be assassin gave himself
up. and the wounded man was con-
veyed to his residence, where he now
lies with great hopes entertained of
his recovery.
An aged German named Kirn Mas
tenbrock, who has seen his seventy
five summers come and go, thought
be had stood the trials and vicissi-
tudos of this world until they were
unbearable, yesterday deliberately
walked out into the country and with
an OLE Jack knife, tried to shuttle off
his coil, but he was too old and tough.
Although be made CHASTITY looking
cut extending from ear to ear and
shed his blood by the quart, he would
not shuttle. He stood by fence and
tried to fall but could not. A gran
ger saw him and with assistance
brought him to the city and deposit-
ed him at the police station. The
suicide sat up in tho wagon that
brought him in and after arriving at
the station would get on his feet,
throwback his head and like Banquo's
ghost, point at the great cash that
had severed the windpipe but not
the iuguIar veins. He told bis story
which was one of great suffering and
was conveyed 10 the county hospital
where he now lies.
The members OF tue fOurtn Con-
gregational society not having a
place of their own in which to wor-
ship. have leased the Academy of
Music for Sunday service and under
the pastorship of Rev. Myron III.
Reed are drawing full hoases morn>
ing and evening. The singing is
done by the congregation, being led
by Mr. Fl N. Hutehin, the renowned
cornet player. A larger audience
never greeted minister in Milwau-
kee than has greeted Rev. Reed for
the last two Sundays, and already q
great Jealousy is sprilging up with
other societies because their members
will persist in attending the Academy
