RditaCdy Enterprise.

The enterprise and complete thorough
ness displayed in the management of the
Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul Railway
was evinced Saturday in the replacement
of the bridge on the Prairie du Chen
line, near Madison, which had been des-
troyed by fire at 2 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, and by 8 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
just thirteen hours afterwards, a new
bridge was erected and in use for the re-
gular trains. The timbers and material
were shipped from the carpenter shops of
the company in this city, everything be-
ing in readiness to put together, and in
the short space of time we have noted,
Amos Bennett, bridge superintendent,
and his gang of workmen, had a new
bridge on the site of the one burned down
ready for trains to run over. Few roads
in the county are as well prepared to
meet emergencies as the Chicago, Milwau-

DODGE COUNTY.
JUNEAU, November 10th, 1879.

The result of Tuesdays election struck
terror to the Democratic heart, and some
are even beginning to lose faith in the
Democratic banner county of Dodge
There is cause for alarm, when county
that but in 1876 gave over 5000 majority
now gives barely 1900. The following
towns gave Republican majorities last
Tuesday: Fox Lake, Randolph, Trenton
Calamus, Burnett, Chester, Waupun,
Portland and LIE Roy, and the republican
vote in such formerly unanimous towns as
Theresa, Herman and Hubbard is steadily
increasing.
Election day had rather sad ending
here by the death of Hon. Adam Schautz,
chairman Of the town board, which took
place about midnight in the Juneau
House. The deceased had been in good
health during the day, and was just get
ting into his buggy to start for home,
when he was taken with severe cramps
in the stomach and expired in about four
hours. He had served as senator from
Washington county for two terms.
News was received here on Wednes-
day of the death at Austin, Mimi, of Mrs.
Mathilda Mason, daughter of Silas w.
Coleman, formerly of this place. Mrs.
Mason was born and brought up in this
village and the news of her death was a
sad surprise to many friends.
A large barn belonging to Hon. L.
Shepard, of Burnett, was burned to the
ground last Tuesday evening with large
quantity of hay and grain, some heads of
cattle and several sheep. The men had
just finished their chores and gone to the
house for supper when flames were seen
issuing from the building.
A lady actress that had been perform
ing here on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings was on Thursday morning de-
livered of a bouncing boy at the Ameri-
can House.
The County Board of Supervisors meets
in regular session tomorrow tuesday
Considerable interest is centered in the
election of a County Superintendent of

the present efficient superintendent, Mr..
j. w. Perry, may be reelected.
Large quantities of hay are now being
pressed and shipped to Lake Superior
markets by Messrs. Allard & Martin of
this place.

A MILD, wet, cold dry Winter is pre-
dicted, and seems to be borne out by in
dications. The husks on the corn are
thin, which is a sure sign of mild wealth
er, and the wild ducks and geese are re-
naming north in an unusual manner,
which is equally as good a sign of wet
season. Added to this, and to complete
the assertions of the prognosticators, bees
have laid in heavy supply of bee-bread,
and muskrats are building their nests

The NeGt Census.

Col. Geo. E. Waring, Jr., of Newport,
r. l., expert and special agent of the
Department of the Interior, arrived in
Milwaukee Monday and will spend sever
al days there on official business. In
conversation with representative of The
Sentinel, Col. Warning said that it is pro-
posed to publish with the census of the
United States not only an enumeration
of the population, industries and fnan-
cial standing of the principal Cities but
also as complete an exposition as it is
possible to give with accuracy of all their
various features, fully illustrated with
maps, charts, and tables, showing their
position, growth, engineering works. parks
and pleasure grounds. etc., and the
changes they have undergone since their
foundation, and, SO far as possible, the
causes which have determined those
changes. The scheme is novel one, which
must necessarily undergo not little de-
velopment in the course of the work. The
various departments of the undertaking
are classified as follows: History and
location; public work; education and re-
creation;public protection finance; popu-
lation and occupations; public buildings;
commerce and trade and manufactures.
Col. Waring finds the labor very interest
ing, and when completed it will prove a
very valuableacquisition to the social stat
istics of the country.

Ldsc Relating to Injuries on Rail
SssS,LGS

The statutes of this State make rail-
road companies liable for damages sus-
tanned by an agent or employe thereof,
while in the line of his duty as such,
caused by the negligence of any other
agent or employe of such company in res
pect to his duty as such, where the neg
lgence of the person so injured does not
materially contribute to the result. This
statue has been regarded. as very objec-
tionable by the railroad companies, as
establishing rule for them that is not re-
CURED of any other corporation, and all
claims for damages that have arise under it
have been strenuously resisted. We recall
but single instance where a case arising
under this statue has gone to the Supreme
Court-that of Bittberner VS.. The Chica-
60, Milwaukee & St. Paul RR. Co. This
case was tried before Judge Stewart, in
the Columbia County Circuit, and the
constitutionality of the law, which was
the chief defense, was sustained by him.
On appeal to the Supreme Court, Judge
Stewards decision was affirmed. The de-
PENDANTS have now appealed the case to
United States Supreme Court. 1t may
be some time before hearing is reached
