GENERAL NEWS.

WAUPAcA, Nov. 5.-Wbiie three chill
dren of Mrs. Moore, OF Ogdensburg, were
returning home from school, they ven
tured on "a mill pond, which was slightly
frozen, and two were drowned. The
third one was rescued by an elder broth
er, who came just in time to see his IL
and 10-year old brothers go to the bot
tom, and to save his seven year-old sister
from a watery grave. Six years ago Mr..
Moore, the father of the children, was
drowned in the same place.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Secretary Sber-
mans letter declining the Senatorship is
regarded here as putting him out OF the
list of probable candidates, although it is
less emphatic than the friends Of the
other candidates would wish. There is
nothing in it TO indicate but what he
would accept if the Legislature should
fall into a wrangle and fail to agree on
any other name. This, however, is re
garded as very improbable, and Sher-
mans name will not be considered.
1t is considered here that Garfield is
the coming man. Republicans generally
agree that he has earned the place, and
that next to Sherman he has peculiar
fitness for it. General Garfield is in
town, and leaves tonight for Ohio.
MADISON, Nov. 6.-Great excitement
was created here this evening by the re-
ception of dispatch from Windsor, a
village SIX miles from here, announcing
that Constable Wilsey had been danger
ously shot by tramps, and called fer help
Train Dispatcher Collins, of Milwaukee,
was applied to by District Attorney Rey-
nolds for special train. which was i'm
mediately ordered, and the sheriff and
police, with posse to the number of
seventy-five, at once were dispatched to
Windsor. The following account of the
difficulty has just been received from
Windsor: This evening four tramps en-
tered the district school house for the
purpose of remaining all night, coming
from the direction of Sun Prairie. Dan
Wilsey, constable, with several others,
repaired to the school house to arrest
them on q warrant sworn out by q party
near Sun Prairie, who they shot at late
in the afternoon. The tramps were found
snugly ensconced, with boots of, and tc
all appearances asleep. The constable
took the worst-looking specimen in
charge. On reaching tho door the tramp
commenced to resist, and in the melee
drew his revolver, shooting Wilsey, and
dangerously wouudine him. Only one
Of the tramps was secured, the balance,
including tho ono that shot the officer,
making their escape, going in north
westerly direction. These are doubtless
the same gang that robbed the store at
Mcfarland, night before last, and are de
scribed as large and desperate men. The
special train reached Windsor at P. NJ,
and the officers are now securing the diff
ferent roads in search of the tramps, who
will be roughly dealt with if captured.
Later.-The sheriff, with the special
train, arrived from Windsor at II o clock,
with one of the tramrs captured, who
gives his name as Tom. Mcdonald. He
is hard-looking citizen He says he
Joined the gang this morning. He was
from down the river and was on his way
to the pineries. The other tranps es-
capped in q cornfeld and made off in q
northwest direction. Officers are still in
pursuit.
