John sIehan Drowned Wednesday Night
in Getting on a Barge-Intoxication the
Cause The Body recovered-The In
quest.
Thursday morning John Mehan, the
old man who had been in charge of the
! barge in the river belonging to Stock
bridge s. Co., was found to be missing,
and as he had been seen late the previous
night i'm a somewhat intoxicated condi-
ton, it was surmised that he, in endeav-
oring to reach the barge that night. had
fallen in the river and been drowned.
Shortly after noon, Thursday, parties
procured pike-poles and made search in
the vicinity of the barge for the body and
i'm short time succeeded i'm finding the
same and bringing it to the surface where
it was fastened until ajury could be Sc
cured to hold an inquest.
The inquest was held by Justic Sutton
and the following named persons sum-
moned as jurors. Arch. Earl, VIM. BEN
nett, David Farrell, Jos. Affair, Jr., VIM.
Mulvaugh and c. S. Ramsay. After the
jurors were sworn, the body was taken
from the water and placed on the barge
where, it was examined by the jury TO
see if any marks of violence could be dis
coverd, but they failed to find any ev.-
dence of foul play. The following wit
nesses were called and examined. VIM.
Spencer, John McCarty, j. c. Mulvaugh,
w. F. DePuy, Michael McCarty and Jas.
Walker. There was no direct evidence
elected as to the drowning. The testi-
mony all relating to the mans condition
the night previous, showing cOnclusively
that when last seen. he was greatly uncer
the influence of liquor. In this the wit
nesscs all corObOrated each other. From
the evidence it appears that Mr.. Spencer
| was the last person known to have seen
the man alive. Mehan stopped i'm the Of
| flee of the hotel, remained several minutes
and left about 1890 p. NJ. to 60 to the
barge, Mr.. Spencer letting him have a
lantern. This, as far as known, was the
last seen of John Mehan living.
The jury, after hearing the evidence,
returned as their verdict, that the de-
ceased came to his death on the night of
the 18th, between the hours of 10 anu IL
o'clock, by drowning, falling into the riv-
er while intoxicated.
Nothing definite in regard to his hav-
ing relatives living could be ascertained.
What few effects he was possessed of
were taken in charge by Justice Sutton,
and will be retained by him tor the bene-
fit of the relatives, should any be found.

THE RAILROAD.

The building of the Marquette s. Mack
inaw Road Not SO Certain -Rumo,
That the Company Have abandoned
misrepresentation of the LAND
Grant Reported as the Cause.
Our village was somewhat startled or
tuesday last by the rumor that the com.
pany who had taken the contract fol
building the Marquette 81 Mackinaw
railroad had abandoned it. Up to this
time no really definite information has
been received regarding it, but from what
we can learn we can but decide that the
rumOr is true. The contractors were ex-
pecred in Detroit on Wednesday to close
the contract and formally sign the pa
pers. The determination of the company
to fly the track must have been quite
sudden, for letter was received i'm De-
troit on Saturday, from Mr.. Crosby, stat
ing that the company would be on hand
wednesday. Tuesday the telegraph line
from Marquette to Detroit was placed at
the disposal of the Marquette parties in
terested i'm the road, and we are indebted
10 Mr.. Chas. Farr, the operator at this
place, for what information we have
gained regarding the matter. The Mar
quette people think that the company
were frightened out from entering into
contract by representations regarding the
land grant which they pronounce to be
false. These representations were, they
think, made by parties i'm the interest of
Chicago; which place, they claim,
is endeavoringt to kill the enterprise. be.
cause it will be likely to divert large
trade from them. The Marquette COM
pany now cffer to construct the road
upon the basis of their original proposal,
made sometime ago, and which they at
terward could not carry out on account
OF the panic. They now claim to be able
to do so. The Board of Control proba-
bly, took some action upon their prOpo-
sition on Wednesday last.
Marquette seems to be thoroughly in
earnest in the building of this road. and
we feel confident that some arrangement
will be made soon. 1t is greatly to Chi
cagO's interest to defeat the road. and we
doubt not will do all that can be done to
do so; but we believe that Michigan has
strong enough interest to see that it is
built, Notwithstanding.

Fire Protection.

The summer is near at hand. 1t is the
season when there is the most danger
from fires. Would it not be we'll for our
village fathers to take definite action re-
garding some adequate means of protect
ing the village from fire. Cheboygan
has escaped the ravages of fire marvel
ously, but each year increases the danger.
Some means should be taken at once to
provide some suitable protection. We do
not pretend to say what it shall be, but
we do say that the village government
will not do justice to the inhabitants and
property holders Of the village unless il
does so. Let some action be taken soon.

Bewildered ON Burt Lake.

On Monday, April Sd, Mr.. Lorin p.
Riggs started across Burt lake to Indian
Village. The day, it will be remember
ed, was quite stormy, and the old gentle
mans eye-sight being quite bad he became
confused and lost his way. He was upon
the lake two days and two nights, but
finally got off and found his way home
in a very exhausted condition. AS soon
as he was missed an Indian was sent out
on the lake to find him, but he returned
unable to find any trac, of him. 1t Is
very fortunate that he had strength
to stand such an extended trip.

mistakes have been made regarding the

general Information, we give list of the
amounts appropriated for Michigan.
They are as follows:

THE TRADE DOLLAR.

The President has signed the Silver
Bill and the trade dollar is no longer a
legal tender for any amount whatever.
Unlike other coins the trade dollar was
never coined on Government account
Private individuals or corporations
having bullion, sent it to the mint
where, upon the payment of the mint
charges, it WAS coined and delivered TO
them in trade dollars. For time the
country was flooded with them, as the
bonanza men found it profitable to pay
their employees in that coin. The per-
sons now holding trade dollars where
they have been taken at par will, of
course. lose by the change, which re-
duces them from legal tender TO the
amount of five dollars to n merchant
able commodity, designed for exporta-
ton to China and Japan. 1t is some
what strange that these dollars, con-
tanning 400 grains of silver, are less
valuable than two half dollars, which
together contain only 1917 grains of
the same metal, or 321I grains less
than the despised, demonetized and
outlaWed coin.

IsEPREHENsIBLE.

The Custom House officials in sew
eral of the Atlantic seaports are adorn-
ing the public buildings with banners
on which ars painted the names of
Hayes and Wheeler. 1t is suggested
that although the officials have had a
sixteen years lease of the Government
buildings, and fancy they are their ex-
elusive property, they belong to the
whole people, irrespective of party. and
shouId not be used for such purposes
The officials of course, will each and
all support Hayes, because their sup
port depends on his election, but the
propriety of covering the public build
ings with partisan emblems is ques-
tionable. The buildings belong to the
United States. They were paid for by
the people without distinction of party
and though their occupants belong TO
the party in power. they are the paid
servants of the whole people, and
should not be permitted to cover the
public buildings with partisan devices
