A BRAKEMAN named Lawling, q new
hand, was caught between 4 warehouse
platform and moving car at Two Rivers
last Tuesday. He was rolled along, but
had presence of mind enough to keep
himself from dropping down lower. If
he had done SO he certainly would be
killed, as the space between the platform
and the car was SO small that his body
would be crushed. He was brought to
this city and q physician summoned.
His thighs were badly nangled though
he is not seriously hurt.

THE sorrowful looking tramp comes
around occasionally with patch over
his eye or some limb bandaged, and asks
to be directed to the cheapest hotolin the
city. He then casually remarks as if
communing with himself that sit makes
no difference anyhow. He hasn't enough
to pay for meal if they gave it to him
for nothing" The tramp that is not
minus portion of his anatomy, is a
fraud

Though glory be gone and though
hope fade away the people of our city
at times feel is though the natural adj
vantages Of Manltowoc would sometime
be recognized and that a city worthy of
the name will grow up here. The Green
Bay and Minnesota road has been de-
! scribed as zone without ends and every
body fighting for the middle" But this
road may in time be very important
link in a great railway chain. And Man
ltowoc may yet derive solid advantage
from the existence of this road. If the
Green Bay and Minnesota ever reaches
st. Paul it will strike the railroad lines
penetrating the great wheat districts of
the west. Dakota is destined to become
a great wheat producing state and Min
| nesota now leads the union in that
branch of industry. This road would
then have discovered one of the ends
which can make its existence possible.
1t would then need to be connected with
some great railway which brings the
produce of western prairies to the
wharves of eastern cities. Not however
as feeder for some great road but as a
part of continuous line.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press in dis
crssing the best western terminus for
the road in question, speaks of Winona
and st. Paul. 1t would cost as much
to build bridge across the Mississippi,
SO as to reach Winona as it would to
reach st. Paul. So says the Pioneer
Press, and naturally it suggests the lat
ter place as the proper terminus But
its remarks on the eastern terminus is a
subject of more interest to Manitowoc.
! The Pioneer Press suggests Manitowoc
as the proper point. With Inc of
steamers running from this city to Lud-
ington, connecting with the Flint and
Pere Marquette road. This latter road
1T is believed will soon be owned by the
Grand Trunk road. A Sir Henry Tyler
| who represents the English owners of the
Grand Trunk is anxious TO secure a con-
tinuous line to St. Paul and Minneapolis.
The West Wisconsin is controlled by the
Vanderbilts and of course that road is
out of the question. The Green Bay
and Minnesota is the only available line
left. 4 line of steamers from Luding-
ton to Manitowoc would for the present
complete the chain and connect st. Paul
with Montreal, thus giving direct and
continuous line to the Atlantic. This
scheme does not seem at all visionary.
There seems good reason to believe that
in time line of railway will thread the
northern part of the country from ocean
to ocean, and Manitowoc may lie in its
track. Tue Pioneer Press suggests q
meeting between the English representa-
tive, the owner of the Green Bay and
Minnesota and the president of the River
Falls and Hudson road, to consider the
| matter. Cheer up. Manitowoc may
still be great metropolis.

A TRAMP was found lying on q road in
Newton on Tuesday night covered with
mosquitoes. He Was taken in charge by
the town authorities and brought to the
city. It was believed that the fellow
was insane as he met all inquiries with
the most stolid silence. He Was brought
before Judge Kirwan and examined.
His whole stock of clothing would bring
about three cents, if auctioned off to a
band of ragmen and the price of that
commodity high. He did not know
whether he had a father or mother or
''iust growed'' like Topsey. He seemed
to be inclined to the latter view himself,
but was perfectly willing that other peo-
pie might entertain Il different view.
His name is Barney Sneyder. People
told him he was Irish but he was not
wholly satisfied that he was not Dutch.
His name furnishes a basis on which
both nations may lay claim to him. But
even on this point Barney was wholly
Indifferent. He had had all the diseases
which flesh is heir to, but the worst was
one which Sneyder designated by the
name of 'raw potatoes" He had been
frozen a number of times but thawed
himself out through the modern panacea
-tramping. Barney was morally con-
,irced that he had at one time taken
unto himself wife, but where, when or
under what circumstances he had entire
ly forgotten. Sneyder was certainly not
an uXori Gus husband, as he never lived
with bis wife, didn't know who she was,
nor anything else. Didn't know where
he came from; didn't know anything.
Didn't know himself, but did know Ra-
cine. The only thing in Barney's event
full career that made an impression which
vagabondage could not efface, was Ra-
cine. Racine was the be all and the end
all of his knowledge. This poor scare
crow has tramped through many states,
has luxuriated in laziness, rested while
the stars smiled upon his slumbers and
furnished of his meager stock of blood a
repast for Manitowoc mosquitoes, and
never gave birth to any thought but

A battle took place last night, at dusk,
at the west end of River street in CLARK s
Mills, between Ireland and Norway. The
everlasting laying up of a certain piece
of fence, and the endless and spiteful
| tearing down of the same caused the out
break. John Morgan and +. Jurstad
were the combatants. No serious dam
age was done.

abutment more substantial than that of
the south side.

THE U. 8. SIGNAL SERVICE.

Gradually, the wild and ungovernablc
forces Of nature are, through science,
made Of use to man. Following in the
wake Of the ingenious inventions for the
use of steam and electricity, comes the
organization of the U. 5. Signal Service.
Is it not wonderful that system could
be originated and perfected whereby an
operator can accurately predict the
weather Of distant locality? And vet
experience proves our "storm signals"
to be reliable. Equally great are the
advances made in the science Of medi-
cine. Step by step, uncertainties and
doubts have yielded to absolute certainty.
The discoveries of Harvey end Jumcr
have been succeeded by the Golden Medi-
cal Discovery of DR.. Il. V. Pierce. No
longer need people despair because some
physician has pronounced the lungs I'M
sound. Hundreds Of Testimonials are
IN file in the Office of Or. Pierce from
those who had abandoned all hope, and
had been given up to die by physicians
and friends. lncipient consumption,
bronchitis, and scrofulous irmors, speedi-
ly, surely, and permanently yield to the
healing Influences Of the Discovery. If
the bowels be constipaied, use DR..
