Con. TayIor,s Inyestlgntion.


The committee appointed by the
last Legislature TO investigate into the expen-
ditures OF Governor Taylors contingent fund,
have completed their report, which shows
that Governor Taylor has drawn five humid
red dollars from the Fox and Wisconsin
improvement company fund which he has
neverexpended tor any purpose, but still has
il in his pocket that five hundred dollars
was drawn from the Superior harbor fund
with intent to keep It for himself, but finally
paid it over to !. c. Sloan, which they say
was improper
In regard to the travelling expenses of the
governor while inside the state, they find that
the payment of such expenses out OF the con-
tingent fund was improper, as being forbid
den by the constitution and by-laws; that
the sum OF four or five hundred dollars was
so expended by Governor Taylor, which he
now owes to the state, and that ii should be
settled. They approve the payment OF the
travelling expenses OF both governors while
outside Of the State
In regard to reports Of public property,
Meredith and Lunds find Dean deiaulter
and recommend suit be brought They
blame Knight for errors OF judgment in re-
pairing the boilers and by being governed by
Governor Taylor in that matter, but acquit
him ofintentional wrong.

Horrible Crime.

Three young Germans, brothers,
named Fchorn, who have been known as
desperate characters for years, were arrested
last week in Newark, ~ j., by police officers
Dickinson and Elsden, tor disorderly conduct.
AS the officers attempted to march them of,
the men drew revovers and shot Elsden dead
and fatally wounded Dicllerson. Escaping
from the crowd the desperadoes ran up the
street to Dawson's tannery, where they for
merly worked There they called for the
foreman who had discharged them, but not
finding him, they commenced an indscrimi-
nate firing in the shop, which resulted in
killing John Albies, assistant foreman, and
wounding of two workmen. The employees
OF the shop turned out en- masse, and chased
the murderers towards the river In the pur-
suit the workmen used stones and knives,
striking the murderers several times before
they reached the river. The latter leaped
into the water and attempted to escape across,
but were stoned to death by the outraged
workmen. The wounded were taken to st.
Michael hospital. One of them, named Fish
er, is dead. Dickerson will die, and the
wounded are in a precarious state. Albics,
Myers and Elsden leave families.

A Terrible Disaster.

The Steamship st. Clair was burned
to the waters edge in Lake Superior, on the
10th, and twenty-six persons are supposed
to have gone down with the burning vessel.
The fire was first discovered in her hold and
spread instantly up along the smoke stack to
the cabin and hurricane deck. Only one
boat could be reached, the.other being envel-
oped in flames. The boat was launched, and
the terror-stricken pass 'ngers and crew
jumped Immediately into it, Just az it was
clearing from the steamers side, passen-
ger jumped into ii from the hurricane deck,
striking the gun vale, capsizing her She
was righted but capsized several times more
before she could leave the burning vessel.
There were on board Of the st. Clair sixteen
passengers and a crew Of fifteen, making thir-
iy-one in all. Five persons saved, and it is
almost certain that the other twenty six have
perished

horses to the trees and abandoning them, the
men were enabled to escape on foot by way of

she, 'NaaE, I'm not joking about that

TREAT HIM AS.HB DESERVES.

Hearken to this, girls, and tell us,
some of you who possess the pen of a
ready writer, what you think of
young man who comes prying around
your homes, watching you while you
darn stockings, inspecting your wash
day toilet, looking critically at your
biscuit, scrutinizing the drapery about
the family beds, and constituting him
self nspector-general about the premi-
ses? Wouldn't you be prepared to vote
him an impertinent boor, in search of a
wife solely because he wished to obtain
a servant withouta a salary? And would
you not think very short stay as "long
a one as manners would allow ?'' And
when "he went on his way rejoicing,n
wouldn't you stay at home rejoicing
that he had taken himself of, and hop
ing that his return would be long de-
layed? Again we say, hearken to this,
and when such a prying chap puts in
an appearance at your paternal home,
coax your mother to give him large
slice of bread and treacle and advise
him to run home to his mother lest she
be anxious about him. Perhaps it will
take some of the egotism out of him.
When a country boy starts out to hunt him a
wife, the first thing he does when he goes in is
TO look at what the girl is doing. Ifsh; il sew.
ing, knitting, patching, or darning, he is salts
ned with her home industry; if he finds her AT
clothes at all, he will have clean ones. The
next thing he does is 10 look around to see
what condition the house is in, to see if the
beds have clean quilts and pillow-cases on
them, and how the chairs are arranged. fshe
is tasty in all these things, he stays as long as
manners will allow him, then goes away re-
Joicing that he has found girl that suits him,
with full determination of a speedy RETURN
Exchange.

A CENTENNIAL ITEM .

The intrepid Smith sisters, of Glas-
tOnbury, Conn, who have become
known throughout the nation for their
firm resistance to taxation without
representation" have recently attended
another forced sale of their AIderney
COWS to satisfy the demands of the tax
collector. Relating the auction scene
and commenting thereon, the ladies,
both far advanced in life, say:
These auctions are kept as private as possi-
BILE, and nobody would know of such unjust
and lawless treatment did we not tell of it our
selves. We told them the scene was quite a
comment upon this Centennial year, when the
whole nation were to rejoice for the resistance
of our forefathers to taxation without repre-
sentation a hundred years ago. In a little
over two years we, who have paid more money
in the town treasury than anybody else, have
been forced to attend four auctions, to see our
property worse than stolen from us, when we
have never broken a law on the statute book
that we know OF.
