Wrecking of the Steamer Macleod
Bismarck Tribune. Nov, q.

Bismarck Tribune, Nov. p.
Last Tuesday night the wind blew a
hurricane, and a cold one at that. At the
river everything was being placed in posi-.
tion for the, winter. The men at work
raising the boats ON the ways were rushing
the business and had hauled the Eclipse
and Bachelor high and dry. The Butte
was alse nearly in place when the men
quit wook for the night, and the Macleod
was just being raised on the skids. About
s o'clock the wind changed and the Butte,
which was to all appearances propped up
solid, rocked back and forth, and finally,
like snowslide, glided off the ways,
STRIKING THE MACLEOD
And knocking her off into the river. Her
side being knocked in she filed with water
in less than half an hour aud sunk in seven
feet of water. The ice is running thick,
aad it may be impossible Co raise her. The
river ia reported as falling two feet last
hight, leaving part of the Macleod's hui
exposed. Should the river continue to
fall 90 that the extent of the damage can
be ascertained, it is not unlikely, the
weather permitting, that she can be taken
out. I. G. Baker has been telegraphsd for
and will shortly @ sfs a
ARRIVE WITH A DIVER,
who will examine the wreck, and, il pos
sible, repair to a certain extent the break
age. and assist In attaching tackle, etc,
for raising her. Ths Butte broke both her
hog chains and several stanchions, and her
boiler was moved about six inches. After
the battle with the Macleod she sailed down
the river about 800 feet and stuck ID the
bank. She will probably have to remain
there for the winter, as it is impossible to
get her on the ways until the Macleod 10
out Of the way, and tho prospects of the
river remaining open much longer are very
slim.

IT Is SAID by many persons even
strong temperance men, that the pres
eut laws are sufficient to break up the
unlicensed liquor traffic. If they are,
why are they not enforced In the
case of Hugh Dugan now held for the
murder of Col. Rowe, he had just been
discharged from Jail after having been
incarcerated there for six months, he
being unable to pay the fine and costs
imposed for selling liquor without Ii
cense. THIS seemed to have no effect
in breaking up the establishment, for
no sooner was he sent to jail than his
wife and son took the reins in hand,
and succeeded in keeping a place inf
nitely worse than had ever been kept
before. As far as breaking up the
house was concerned, Hugh Dugan
might Just as well have been left in
full possession, and the county saved the
cost of trying him and boarding HIM
six months in prison. Instead of the
conviction Of Dugan making the place
disreputable and shutting it up, it
seemed only to add to its popularity,
and it became the resort of not only
the lowest of all classes, but it is with
shame, We are forced to say, it became
a regular resort for some city officials.
Such places are hard to break up.

wanted tOget rich too fast.

Edwin Harris, formerly bookkeeper for
the wholesale boot and shoe firm Of Voc
Brothers, lately known as McAnley,
Dyke & Co., Of Chicago, was arrested in
that city on Friday, on an indictment
for embezzling funds Of the firm. On
Saturday he was arraigned for trial
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to
seven years imprisonment in the p n.
ilentary. He confessed his thefts, say
ing that his mother had al "ungovern,
able desire to become rich." From 1871
to 1878, when tho firm went into bank
ruptcy, he embezzled $4,000 to Sl5,.
600, all Of which he invested in bonds
real estate, and the business Of his for
mer employers, buying the interest
with the money he had stolen from
them. Nothing was KIN wn of his
transactions until a few days ago
when the bankrupts, looking over their
accounts, discovered some "discrepan-
cies," and asked Harris to explain
them. This elected a confession.
Harris, who has a wife and whose
mother is living, is reported to be over.
whelned by his disgrace.

The "Delawarean" and the "Senti-
mel" at Dover are, discussing the in
debtednsss Of Kent county, the former
apparently endeavoring hard to hide
the truth and the latter bringing
forth some very damaging hg-
ures to the Democratic rule. 1t Is
admitted by the "Delawarsan" that
the debt Of the county is $4,000, and
in doing this it places in the column Of
assets every dollar of uncollected taxes
found on the duplicates and also counts
in $1,000 of that $4,000 which the
county owes the State and which 1t is
expected the Levy Court will filch ont
of the State. The Sentinel" after
making the proper deductions brings
the county in debt $50, 200 without in.
cluding the floating debt which is not
known, the Levy Court having adjourn
ed without making a statement OF it,
though they had promised to do so. OF
course the "Delawarean" calls the
Sentinel all kinds of hard names,
and says it and the REPUBLICAN, are con-
tinually slandering and libelling the
State. We referred to the Kent Coun.
ty finances in several issues Of our paper
last winter during the session of the
Legislature but we were informed by the
family organ that We were untruthful,
but the people we are glad to say are
getting their eyes open and want to
know what becomes of the money they
pay in taxes. This they cannot find
out by vague denials of party paper
that has a bad record for veracity, and
the object Of which is moro to cover up
and conceal the dishonesty Of its party
leaders than to give fair and impartial
statements which would show the true
financial condition Of the county. The
Sentinel" is by odds far ahead in the
dispute, and the only way to set the
matter straight before the people, is to
have fair aud impartial examination
and statement made by disinterested
and competent committee. But of course
the "Delawa,ean would not submit to
this, and so it will have to struggle on
under the suspicion of making dis
honest statements.

An Old citizen Dies In Church.

At quiet, tranquil hour of evening
OF the sixth instant, as the people were
gathering at the Methodist church in
this city for worship, and just as the
choir struck It's note Of song, Mr..
Johns, an old gentleman, entered the
house. He had come with tottering
steps to hear what message the man of
God had for him that night. Before
the minister had begun his able and
eloquent, but solemn, discourse, Mr..
Johns had ecsived his message-not
from the preachers lips, but from
God himself, and that message was,
this night and now, thy soul is re-
quired OF thee" As the body fell
calmly and sweesly to sleep in death,
the living soul flew out from it's fraIl
casket of clay and in moment stood
face to face with its Maker. Twas
shocking blow to the assembled wor-
shippers; twas distressing to the loved
ones, but to the writer it seemed that
there was great beauty in his sudden
seath-
There were no pains, no wasting
hand OF disease, no griefs at parting,
no farewell. There was but one leap
and the cold river was crossed; but
one leap, and heaven was attained. He
died, too, IN the church. What fit
place for Christian man to lay down
his armor
May I, too, when life's duties are
over, cross the dark waters at one leap;
and die, as did this man, in Gods
house, amid songs of praise coming
forth from the lips and hearts of hon.
~ Christian men and pious women.
