The Alpena Military Company.


When the news came to Alpena
that the Governor had accepted the
company, organized in this place
some time ago, 1t rather surprised
the boys, for the most sanguine
among them had begun to dispair
Of being mustered into service.
The report was soon circulated,
and hand bills got out, giving no.
tice that meeting of the company
would take place in the Court
room, for the purpose of making
arrangements for the mastering In
of the company by the Adjutant-
General. On Saturday evening,
according to notice, the citizens
who were interested in the military
movement, assembled in the Court
room, and, considering the short
notice, there was good turnout.
Capt. L. b. Howard stated the
object Of the meeting, and desired
to know how many of those who
were present, could be relied
upon to turn out for the muster.
Over forty of the members signified
their readiness to turn out, besides
which there were numbers of re-
liable members who, on account of
the short notice were unable to
attend the meeting. An oppor-
tunity was offered to all who wish
ed 10 join the company to do so,
and quite a number took advantage
OF the offer. Several resolutions
were offered and passed with re-
gard to recruiting the company,
allowing honorary membership,
getting a drill shed, etc.
Mr.. ]. d. Holmes and Mr.. Geo.
L. Maltz were called upon and
made appropriate remarks, which
were well received. Mr.. Maltz
stated that the acceptance of the
Alpena company was an honor to
the city, and he believed that AL
pena could produce as good COM
pany as any part of the State; be
was glad they were going to have
company, and assured
them of his assistance and good
will.
Alpena company is attached to
he Third regiment of State troops,
md is designated as company II.
)f the other companies two be-
ong to Detroit, one to Flint, one
o Port Huron, one to Bay City,
me to East Saginaw, and one to
Marquette. Only one Regimental
,fficer, Major Lochhead, is yet as
'igned to the regiment, the remain
ng officers being yet to be elected.

of the Pedro Flag.

Last Monday evening the mem
bers Of the Pedro Boat Club were
invited to be present on board o.
the propeller Wenona, at eight
o'clock in the evening. At the
hour appointed, the Pedro boys
were promptly on hand and upon
invitation of Captain L. r. Boyn-
ton, they passed into the Captains
room, and soon after that Captain
Boynton arose and said, "Boys, !
suppose it might as well be done
now as ever" and said:
Gentlemen Of he Pe,lro Boat CLUB:
We have tonight the pleasure of do
ing what we have long wished for-an
opportunity Of expressing the regard we
have for the members of the Pedro Boat
Ing Club. Some OF the jolly sailors who
belong to the clnb, we have known for
years, others but q little while, but all
Of them have shown so much of the
true spirit that makes sailors the best of
good fellows, that q brotherly feeling for
each of them has grown up in us
Each spring as we arrive with the
Wenona through the ice blockade in
your harbor, we have felt that she was
more than welcome, and of the friends we
meet, no hands are more gladly clasped
than the members of the Pedro crew.
We have been thinking how to show
our esteem and have bought to you this
little flag in which the colors of our
country mingle, and the best card In the
pleasant game after which your boat is
named, Is represented thereon. Take It,
and with 1t our best wishes, and may
each of you, wherever fortune takes
you hereafter, get hand that will give
you high, low, jack, pedro, and the game.
With these remarks be presented,
on the part Of himself and A. ID.
McGill, clerk Of the Wenona, to
Captain V. c. Burnham, of Pedro
crew, hands me and expensive
flag, made Of blue silk six feet long
and three feet wide. In the centre
is heavy, white silk card, twenty
five and a quarter inches long and
eighteen inches wide, bearing five
red silk hearts, in representation of
the pedro of hearts, after which
the club was named. Upon the
receipt of this elegant flag, Mr..
Burnham arose and n q few words
thanked the Captain and Mr.. Nc
Gill for this beautiful token Of the
friendship that has existed for
several years between the officers
Of the Wenona and the members
Of the Pedro crew, confessing
that the individual members of the
crew had been he recipient of
many favors from the Wenona per-
sonally and collectively. That for
their good wishes they thanked
them heartily, and as no six spotted
barge had been able to take their
pedro, so would they all work |
with their best will to keep the
eight spotted barge from swinging |
high enough 10 make pedro fail.
That at the time the Club organi-
zed, the five hearts were emblem

TIE BILL.

The Philadelphia folks are somewhat
agitsted over the amendment to the
Centennial appropriation bill, providing
that the money shall be returned into
the United States Treasury. They OBJ
ject to the government being a preferred
creditor, although without government
eountenance the commissioners could
never have moved a peg. The whole
movement has besn made under the au-
spices of the government bnt upon
assurances that no FUNDS would be
asked. The commissioners disregarded
this restriction and went ahesd, pre-
suming that the government would
make up all deficits. Matters have gone
40 far that Congress is about to aid the
exhibition to the extent Of one and half
millions dollars, but in doing so Ger.
tsinly does not near that the govern
ment becomes a copartner with the
other stockholders, or that sill measures
of self-protection are to be abandoned.
The stockholders must lock out for
themselves, and the government, in Civ
ing c~ountenance and aid to the great un-
dsrtaking, should, be secured and re-
imbursed as, a preferred creditor.
II the commissioners do not want
the appropriation on these terms
let them reject it. They promised
in the outset when the matter was FIRST
laid before Congress not to ask for
money, and yet went on deliberately
and incurred liabilities that could not
possibly be met without drawing upon
the United States treasury. The stock
holders have no right to expect the gov
eminent to come in and take the specu'
lative chances with them when no such
guarantees we're made or implied at the
start. The government merely lends
it's aid temporarily TO make the
exhibition a success in q national
sense and in the eyes Of the world
but not to make money as a stakeholder
or TO share the losses Of those who vol
unfairly took their chances, as thel
would in any Ordinary enterprise. Al
attempt will be made in the Senate Il
amend the bill, so as to conformto TIL
Philadelphia view, but if SO amended vi
believe and hope it will be rejected ii
the House.

LONDON, February 2.-The report pre-
senting the results of the investigation
into the Br~emerhaven explosion. has
been published by the Bremen authori-
ties. According to his own deposition.
the name Of the perpetrator was William
King Thomson. he was born in Brook
lyn in 1880; his parents, who emigrated
from Hamburg to America, are now liv-
ing in Virginia. Thomson was taken
prisoner when running the blockade du-
ring the late wal in the United States.
BE escaped and fed South, where he
passed under the name OF Thomas. He
mentioned a Medlers Skidmore, of New
York, as an accomplish, but made no
reference to other accomplices. His
wife supposed his name was Alexander.
He had a tattooed arm. There
is no evidence that he entered into
relations with the underwriters, or
plotted against the safety Of vessels pre-
vious to 1875. Nor is there any evidence
except an insurance of three thousand
marks on the barrel which exploded
that he insured any goods to be shipped
By the Mosel or Deutschland. OBSERVE
tons made by Thomson point to the con-
clusion that he intended to hand a small
box to the officers Of the Mosel, declar-
ing it contained greenbacks, aud that he
intended to have the box insured. In
June, 1875, Thompson insured goods on
the steamer Rhein for $4,000, through
Barings, Of London. His wife's evidence
shows that previous to bis departure in
November, 1875, Thomson anxiously
waited for a letter from England, which.
be concealed when it arrived.
The details Of the proposed interna-
tional rife contest are not capable of so
easy an arrangement as at 6rst supposed.
There was an implied understanding
when the National Association accepted
the American challenge that the team
selected would be the only nj from
Great Britain. The attempt of the
Americans 10 induce teams from Scot
land and Ireland to 20 out will lead to a
reopening Of the whole question, if not
the withdrawal Of the rife association
from the field altogether. A meeting
will be held to reconsider the matter, and
unless the team is strong enough to sat
isfy Sir Henry HalefOrd, it can be relied
upon that that the association will GER
tainly not send any representatives.
The statue Of Lord Palmerston, in the
palace yard at Westminster, was I'M
yelled to-day. There WA no ceremony.
BERLIN, February Iii is said that
negotiations for a compromise between
church and state have come to a COM
plete stand-still and that the Ultromon-
tanes are again disposed to show their
old bitterness in opposition to the pres
ent government. Reichenspergars'
pamphlet will urge the church to insist
as a condition Of compromise upon the
deposition of DR.. Folk, Prussian Minis

TIE famous Geghan bill was recently
repealed BY a strict party vote of the
Republicans in ths Ohio Legislature. II
was made the pivot upon which turned
the exciting canvass in that State last
fall and retired Wm. Allen to the shades
OF private life forever. The law initself
contains nothing more than is to be
found on the statute books of Msssacnu'
sets aud most of the old States. Yet the
Republican press and orators appealed
to the s~ectarian prejudices Of the people
made a religious war Of a political can
vass and actually carried the election
upon that issue. The Cincinnati Com
mercial wa the foremost of the pack
that bounded at the Catholics who were
supposed to have favored the bill, and
now comes that consistent journal and
says:
We have thought from the beginning
that the law was unimportent-that, at
least, it was not seriously Objectionable
in itself. But it was forced upon the
Democratic party and through the Legis-
lature in the name Of the Catholic
church in the most arrogant and vehe-
ment way, and thereby made odious, so
that the repeal BY the Republican Legis-
lature became q matter Of course.
Which means that the bill would have
been unobjectionabls if it bad come
from the Republican side. II some Re-
publican will introduce the bill again in
a rear or two the Commercial will no
doubt favor it.
