Destructtvs Fire I'm juneau.

At scout half past one o'clock on Sun :
day morning, the citizens of juneau were
aroused by the cry of fire, and guided BY
the glare Of the fam es, found the lower and
back part of the saloon of Henry Keller
man to be enveloped in flames. It was i'm
possible TO save anything whatever from
the fire here, which soon reached the Coun.
ty Treasurer's Office, situated in part of the
same building; from this, however, all the
books and papers, except those contained in
the safe, were saved, the only loss being
part OF the stock of stationery in the back
room. 1t took but moment for the flames
to reach the adjoining store Of A. Crane,
from which most of the goods bad mean
while been carried out, and the Town
records situated in the second story safely,
secured. By hard work on the part of our
citizens the next building north, that of
Peter Walther; (saloon) was saved and the
flames prevented from spreading further
north. If this building had been att acked
the loss of the Court House AID Jail next
adjoining would have been inevitable. On
the south side Of KellermAAs building,
heroic efforts had meanwhile been made to
save the costly residence of Hon. E. G. Lew
is, but owing to the extreme heat Of the
FIRE, the difficulty of reaching the wooden
cornices under the roof and the lack of
means to extinguish FIRE, except by buckets
of water, the labor proved futile, and the
building was given over az prey to the
flames, all efforts being directed to saving
the costly furniture. This was accomplish

There seems to be no end to the mis-
takes of the Board of Street Commissioners.
One of its latest blunders is the election Of
. school commi ssioner in the Third ward
whatever. The law OF last winter revising
and amending the school law (section Al
provides as follows:
Section 4. Whenever there shall be q
vacancy in the Office Of school commissioner
in any ward, that fact shall be reported by
she clerk Of the board Of education, in
writing, to the common council of said
city, and ID e said council shall fill all va
canciss, SO reported, by appointment. &c.
The vacancy 10 the board therefore can
oaiy b filled By the Common Council
There is no authority anywhere in the law
for The Board OF Street Commissioners to
Get in the premises. By failing to re-enact
The amendment TO the .charser passed in

At the last meeting of the Board of Street
Commissioners of the city OF WATERFOWL,
the following memorial to the legislature
of the State of Wisconsin was adopted.
To the Legislature Of the State of Wisconsin.
The undersigned Board of Street Com
missioners of the city Of Watertown respect
fully represent that section 929 of the new
revision of the statutes a. reported by the
revisofs, would, il retained in its present
form, be DISASTROUS to said city. Said sec
ton provides that whenever Q certified tran
script Of final judgment rendered against
city 10 fled with the city clerk, the amount
thereof shall be placed in the next tax roll
aad Be collected. In the present situation
Of the city OF WATERFOWL, with judgments
standing against it on railroad bonds OF over
three hundred thousand dollars, and large
amount Of such bonds outstanding not in
judgment, such = provision if enforced
would result in the con6scation of large
part of the property of its iuhabitants-they
could not pay the taxes. The people of
said city desire compromise of its railroad
Indebtedness. They have already compro-
missed and taken up q considerable portion
Of said Indebtedness, and they are willing
to be taxed to a reasonable extent for that
purpose, so they can pay the taxes and keep
their property; they, however do not wish
to be taxed to such extent that they cannot
pay the taxes and must lose their property
such taxation would be con6scation.
The undersigned Board of Street Commits
sioners of said city would therefore, re-
sDectfully ask that said lection $50 NAV be
amended SIS to apply only to judgments rem
dered On liabilities hereafter incurred, the
section being thus amended, this new RENEE
dy will be concurrent with new liabilities.
All of which is most respectfully submit

into trouble through disagreeable habit
she had, OF .appropriating. other peoples
property, was sent 10 reformatory insti.
tuition at Baltimore, in the hope that q
change for the better might be effected,
But she didn't stay there long. BY some
means she made her escape and proceeded
TO the B. 80. Depot, where she saw Geo.
Pettieord and told him that she was q
daughter OF Capt. Devries and would like
to return to her home in Wheeling on the
next train. .''That's little too thin"
ouoth George; II know all OF Capt. De-
vries' family, and don't know You"
Nothing disheartened, the girl sought
out Mr.. L. NJ. Cole, General Passenger
Agent OF the company. She told Cole the
same story, and he Immediately telegraph
cd to Capt. Devries to see il all was right.
The latter gentleman was not in the city,
however, having gone down to Bellaire on
business. When he returned and read
the dispatch, he promptly answered that
something was wrong, as his family were
tall at home. But too late. Cole had
waited patiently for an answer until the
train was Just about to start, and receiving
no reply concluded TO let the girl have the
pass. lie gave 1t to her, she took the train
and arrived In due time In thecity. And
that the way she got back.
