Tho Jail Contracts.

From the official report of the pro-
ceedings of the Board of Supervisors,
published elsewhere, it will be seen that
the contracts for building the Jail and
sheriff's residence were let to Alexander
Mcdonald of this village and the Detroit
Safe Co., of Detroit. Mr.. McDonalds con-
tract includes the furnishing of all
necessary material and labor for, the
completion of the building, with the ex-
ceptiOn of the iron work, for cells etc.,
which portion of the work was let to
the Detroit Safe Co. Originally it was
contemplated to put in four of the iron
cells at present, but from the bid Of the
Detroit Safe company, it was shown that
quite saving could be made on the ul-
innate cost by completing all the cells
at the same time, and we think the
Board acted wisely in concluding to do
so. Mr.. Mcdonald is well known to our
citizens and all know that his portion
Of the work will be well done. The
Safe company has had considerable ex-
perience in such work as is included in
their contract, and their reputation is
such as to be a sufficient guarantee that
their part will be well performed. By
referring to the proceedings it will be
seen that there were three bids for the
work entire, including only four cells
and that the difference between thu
highest and lowest bids was 1851, which
shows that all the parties did pretty
close figuring upon the job. Mr.. Nc
DOnald's bid, which was accepted, was
for all except the iron work, as statet
above, for the sum of $3,449. The De
troit Safe COmpany's bid for the iro,
work. six cells instead of four, was fo
the sum of $1,6S7, which would max
the cost of the building $5,127, which i
generally conceded to be a low figur
and demonstrates the wisdom of tn
Board in deciding to build while tn
prices Of labor and material are so low
The county is out of debt and in as goo
a condition as it ever would be to build
and the necessity of good Jail ha
been apparent for years. m.....

BASE bail.

1sRoC Doll
To the Editor of the Northern Tribune.
The game of base ball played in this
village on the Fourth of July, of which
mention was made in your last issue.
was well played game considering the
small amount of practice the boys have
had together as club. And while the
Duncan club played well for amateurs,
they were notably deficient in some
points of the game as compared with
our boys. The pitching OF Comerford
was very difficult to hit, causing great
number of fouls, and also batting up
the catcher SO that frequent changes be-
came necessary. His playing through
out the game was fine, and almost with
out error. So, also, was that of short
stop Langmaid, and basemen Perrin, Ee-
COLE and Whiting. Some very fine play
ing being made between the short stop
and first baseman Whiting. Angus
Boggs as catcher did as well as any one
could do who had not been used to TAX
| ing Comerford's swift balls, this being
the first time he had ever caught behind
the bat for his pitching, and he stood up
to his work without fiinching for the
first five innings, until one of his hands
was so badly swOOlen that he could not
hold the ball. william BOggs, Wharton
and Mason played in the field and had
very little chance to display their skill
as few balls were batted outside of the
bases. The batting of the whole clut
WAS good, that of Vim. BOggs, Wharton
Perrin and Whiting rather taking tht
lead.
Some of the Duncan club played ex
ceedingly well, the captain, mglesby, be
ing very fine player, and to who's
skillful playing and management of hi
club, who had never all played tOgethe
before, tended in a great measure t,
reduce and keep the scores nearly evel
to the last inning in the game, when on
; boys by some very fine playing increas
.. ed their score slightly and won tn
0 game.
To those who are interested in tn
\ national game of base ball this gam
!, was trial far exceeding any former eX
4 hibitiOn of the kind in this part of tn
state, and we have cOnceit enough
think that the material for nine
Z now here in ChebOygan county to max

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY JULY l2, 1879.
THE BUSINESS OF CHEBOYGAN


Report Of the Business Of the Harbor
for the Fiscal Year ending June
3Oth.
That ChebOygan is growing is evidenc-
ed by the constantly increasing business
of the harbOr from year to year. The
report PUBLISHED in the TRIBUNE about
this time last year showed a very large
increase Of the amount of tonnage en-
tering the. harbor over the previous year.
This year, while the increase has not
been 80 great, 1t is still sufficient to show
that the business of the port is increas-
ing. From an examination of the books
of the custom house at this port, we find
that for the fiscal year ending June 3Oth,
there were 40 clearances, with an ag-
gregate tonnage of 1866. against 412
clearances. with a tonnage of 126,6O9
for the year previous, showing decrease
in the number of clearances of 2, but
an excess of over 10000 tons in the
tonnage. 49, ,.-,-.T r,-~~a-,p ett
From the receiving books at the two
docks we find that the various steamers
doing business at this port regularly,
and which do not enter or clear at the
port, and as consequence do not ap-
pear on the records of the custom house
made trips as follows: -
Trips. Ton'ge
Northern Transit Steamers...........14 81, ,2S'
Shore Steamers. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SO "a, ,6S.
Western Transportation Steamers. IL 1921;
steamer Van Raalte....-......-........ 1,5S
Showing an increase over the previous
year of 20 arrivals, with an increase il
tonnage of 1885 tons. Putting the twt
together we have total Of 723 clear
ances with tonnage of 299, 1893 tons fol
the fiscal year ending June 3Oth, show
ing an increase of 20 clearances and 22,
743 tons. In this calculation we hay
only credited the shore steamers wit
entering the harbor once each trip, Will
| it is well known that they almost inyar
iably call in twice, once on their way {
Mackinaw and again on their return
This would increase the number of en-
frances and tonnage just that much, o
in other words add SO entrances and 64
648 tons. In addition to this, during tn
year there have been quite a number {
vessels loaded at the port which Ia
through clearances and Consequent
were not required to report or clear, an
hence there is no record Of the numbe
or tonnage, but which would add yer
materially to the showing. In additio
to figures given, to get corre'
idea Of the business of the harbOr, shoul
be taken into consideration the tugs
the harbOr which do q lively bushes
: during the whole season, and the tug
stationed here for wrecking purpose
: and those which call in for fuel.
The amount of freight received an
= shipped from the port, we have reason
believe, from information from reliab
sources, has increased in much great
8 proportion, being nearly, if not altOget
er, double that of the previous year.

THE election on Saturday on the ques-
ton of levying tax on the incorporated
village of ST. Clairsville, for the purpose
of constructing railroad, passed off
quietly, and the voting was almost
unanimous in favor of the tax-22O votes
were polled, only II of which were neg
ative. The question which now seems
to be agitating the populace is the gauge
of the rOad-some favOring the standard
gauge and others the narrow gauge track.
The matter viii not be settled until it is
certainly known what inducements the
Tuscarawas Valley road will offer to-
ward the construction of gauge the
same as their line. We are told upon
what seems to be reliable authority that
the c., I. Y. and Wheeling Co. will agree
to construct and operate the line, making
connections with all their trains, for
$4,000 If such is the case there should
be 10 question as to what the interests
of st. Clairsville are III the matter. Of
course, if the Tuscarawas company offer
no facilities, the whole controversy ends,
for it is not possible to construct and
equip a standard gauge road the distance
required for $50, 1000, and narrow gauge
is inevitable.

In our issue of last week few lines
announced the death, on Wednesday,
July 9th, at the residence of her father,
Peter Tallman, Esq, in this place, of Miss
Mary E. Tallman, aged S3 years and %
days. In the humblest paths, in the "cool
sequested vale of life" the noblest lives
are found. In this lady, the community
has lost an unselfish, sacrificing, loving
member. Much of the sunshine has de-
parted from her home. None knew her
but to love her. She had the joy of the
Christian, the docility of a child, the
earnestness of one who loved mankind.
Fourteen years ago she united with the
NJ. E. church. and ever since has rejoiced
in the Christian name. Who will emu
late her virtues? Loving friends will
cherish her memory, and point to her as
one who though dead yet speaks.
