The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-05-11

THE ARKANSAS REPUBLICAN con-
vention adopted resolution declaring
it inadvisable to nominate a ticket for
state officers, for the reason that in 1874
the Democratic party, in twenty-nine
counties, cast 5000 more votes than
there were voters, and the acts OF the
party since indicate that these frauds
would be repeated were there any oppo-
sition ticket in the field. Although the
nomination of a ticket would undoubtedly
have been useless so far as any hope of
election was concerned, still the party
would have done better to put ticket
in the field, make a determined aud
straightforward fight for success, and
take measures to expose the frauds
of its opponents. The wen-known
disposition of the Democratic party to
commit frauds in electious is the strong
est of reasons for the persistent and or
ganized opposition of the Republican
party.

ST. PAUL PIoNEER-PRESs The late
representative of the Democratic Reform
party of Wisconsin, turns out to be a
beautiful bird, one of the kinds of birds.
indeed, for whose benefit it has been
found desirable to construct costly cages.
In short, the investigation of the ac-
counts of his excellency, now proceeding
at Madison, has established as a fact
what was before generally suspected,
that this great reformer, who led the
embattled farmers of Wisconsin to bat
tie against the railroad monopolies and
the corruptions of the Republican partly
IS petty thief and stands convicted of a
series of small iarcenies of public prop
erty from the executive Office, that would
disgrace q professional tramp. These
developments viii not surprise the peo-
pie of Wisconsin, for during the cam
paiRn of last fall some transactions Of
Farmer Taylor were brought to light in
connection with the bounty and recruit
business during the war which demon
strated q marked capacity for stealing
whenever his natural propensities were
seconded by favorable opportunitv.

CLEANING Floors WITH ORANGES.
That's shocking, isn't it? But then,
they have more of them than we do, for
it is in Jamaica that they make scrub
bling brushes of oranges, and you may
be sure it's true, because Mr.. Gosse saw
them do it. The floor was of hard, pol
ished wood, and before the family were
out of bed, two or three colored servants
scrubbed over the whole of it with sour
oranges, cut in halves. When the juice
was rubbed out of one piece, they would
take another, and SO used up big tray
full of them. A polish was put on by
rubbing with cocoanut husk, and the
floor looked as if it had been waxed.-

SOME three years ago a young girl
working in mill at Oshkosh, was scalp
ed by having her hair caught in revol-
wing shaft. The scalp was entirely re-

ural covering. Skillful surgeons under
took to replace it by what is known as
the grating process, but without sue
css She is still alive but in a most dep
lorable condition. It is impossible by
any artificial means to supply the proper
secretions to the skull and the bone is
gradually but surely decaying.

The broken arm bone of patient in
a hospital at Troy would not heal, al
though all the usual modes OF cure were
tried. Then he was put under the in
fuence of ether, an incision four inches
long was made parallel to the bone, and
the broken part exposed. The ends
were fitted together after being sawed
on the surface, holes were drilled, and
silver wire put through. The healing
was thereafter rapid.

The Bremen Haven Explosion.

OsRpAA ~0NHAVOAVAAs
LoNDos, Feb. "A report pre-
senting the results of the investiga-
tion into the Bremen Haven explosion
has been published by the Bremen
Haven authorities. According to his
own deposition, the name Of the per-
petrator was VIM. King Thomson.
He was born in Brooklyn, in 1880;
his parents, whoe,nigrated from Ham
burg to America, are now living in
Virginia. Thomson was takenprison-
er when running the blockade during
the late war in the United States
He escaped and fled south where he
passed under the e:-,!ns.l name Of Thomas.
He mentioned Midlers Skidmore, Of
New York, as an accomplice, but
made no reference 70 other accom-
plices. His wife supposed his name
was Alexander. He had a tatoocd
arm. There is no evidence that he
entered into relations with the Under.
writers. or plotted against the safety
Of vessels, previously to 1875, nor is
there any evidence except the insur-
ancc Of $4,000 marks on the barrel
which exploded. He insured no
goods to be shipped BY the Mosel or
Deutschland. Observations made by
Thompson point 70 the conclusion that
he intended to hand small box to
the officers OF the Moscl declaring it
contained greenbacks. Thomson in
sured goods on the steamer Rheine
for 5000 pounds through Barings, OF
London. His wife's evidence shows
that previous to his departure in
