The RNiIrOOG iSaI2'UeY.

The Jefferson County Union is, to say
the least of it, greatly in error when it
states "Of.. course the purchase" (refer-
ring to the Chicago and Fond du Lac
road) "settles the matter as to other
routes" The chief engineer has orders
to continue the survey for the proposed
route from Milwaukee to Madison, and
there are very strong grounds for believ-
ing..that the road will be built and COM
pleted by next fall The route via Lake
Mills has SO far proved the most favorable
as to the country and ease of the grade,
and should no new obstacles present
themselves, this route will be selected in
preference to all others. The survey
from Kroghville to the Crawfsh river
runs through the following sections;
town of Lake Mills; IS, 10, 20, 81, %,
%, "a; Aztalan, 10, 20, crosses the river
at the Northeast corner of 20, and then
runs into 28.-Lake Mills Spike.

FNt0L Railroad Accide7st.

A dispatch dated Milwaukee, October
18th, gives the following particulars of a
fatal railway accident on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul line:
About s o'clock this evening, while a
switch engine in the yard of the Chicago
Milwaukee and St. Panl railroad was
making up the midnight freight, they
started to cross Burnham Slip bridge to
the west yards The fog was so thick
that it was impossible to see but few
feet ahead, and the engineer did not dis
cover, until within a few feet of it, that
the bridge was turned for a passing YES
sci. The engine tender, and a car of lard
plunged into the river. The engineer
and fireman jumped from the engine, the
former, Len Butler, was picked up out of
the river, probably fatally injured. The
fireman escaped, with severe bruises
about the legs, while Harry Hill, tele-
graph operator, who was riding on the
bumper locomotive, was. buried under
the debris and crushed into an unrecoe-
nizable mass. Mike Toohey, switch
man, was also on The engine, but jumped
and escaped uninjured. The loss to the
railroad is about $4,000.

The housebreaking fever it appears
has broken out here again nurtured no
doubt by the warm weather which makes
it necessary to keep doors and windows
open for air. T. S. Clark upon getting
up Tuesday morning found that his
clothes in the bedroom at his residence in
the Fourth ward had been carried out in
a hallway and the pockets of his panta-
looms rifed of what small change were
in them. Fortunately the thief or thieves
forgot to take a pocket book from side
pocket in his coat containing sum OF
money that would have made
it a paying operation. The front
door was found unlocked which revealed
the means of entrance into the house
The residence of E. R. Evans not far dis
tant, was also visited but the midnight
providers made themselves so officious at
one of the windows, which they endeavor
ed to take bodily away from the casing,
that the inmates disturbed of their resi-
got up and frightened away the thieves.

Drowned i1e Lake Michignn.

The Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday
contained the following dispatch dated
Racine, October 10th which will be of
sad interest to many in this city and
vicinity: Thursday night, Otto Gilbert,
steward of the schoon er Guido, fell over
board from the vessel, while she was ly-
ing at Dickey's dock, near Fourth street
bridge, and was drowned. The facts in
the case are these: About II o'clock the
steward was noticed sitting in the cabin
doorway, smoking. Soon after he went
to bed, and short time after he was seen
to get up and leave the cabin, with moth
ing on but his pants and shirt, which was
the last seen of him alive. He was miss
ed in the morning, and the lifeboat crew
were notified. They commenced Crap
pling for the body, and this afternoon,
about o'clock, found it few rods from
where the vessel laid. An inquest was
held, and verdict of accidental drown
ing rendered Gilbert was a young man
of about % years of age, of steady habits
He made his home in Milwaukee, but
his parents live at WATERFOWL, Wis,
where the body will probably be sent
The crew on the vessel believe the I'M
fortunate young man got up in his sleep
and walked overheard and was drowned
for the reason that he could not swim 1.-THE
parents of young Gilbert reside in the
town of Emmett about four miles north of
the city. The remains were brought
here by the Sunday afternoon train on
the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-
way and from the depot were conveyed
to the Lutheran Church, Second ward,
where the funeral services were held and
attended by large number of the friends
of the deceased and his family.

TO BE or Not to Be?

The secretary of the Central Wisconsin
A. e M. A. announced in our last issue
that the society was unable to pay the
premiums Of the late fair in full; that not
more than IS per cent could be paid on
premiums from the fair receipts. We
think that when the exhibitors know the
true condition of affairs they will not en-
ter serious complaint against the associa-
ton because OF this announcement. The
society has manifested heretoforea great
deal Of pride in paying it's premiums in
full, and has paid more money in pre-
iums the past two or three years than its
receipts justified, thereby running into
debt each year, until it now finds itself
either obliged to cut down on it's pre-
miums or succumb to the demands of it's
creditors. Things had resolved them
selves into this-either to abandon the
enterprise altogether or ask those holding
claims against the institution to take 25
per cent less than is their due. The as
ISOLATION decided on this course as a last
resort, and exhibitors and others ought
to sustain it in its decision. That there
was no money squandered in the man
agement of the fair we know, and if those
holding claims against the association re-
ceive all the money that was taken in
they should be satisfied. The associa-
ton is public institution, and there are
men in this community who spend their
time and money without thought of COM
pensation, further than to make its an
nual fairs successful. Is it any more than
right, in view of the above facts,
to ask from the only class of men who
have ever made any money out of the
concern, to contribute something towards
keeping the institution alive, in this its
hour of trial? We think not.

GreenOUcE "BTicE."

Mark M. Pomeroy somewhat notorious

largely of those who differed from him on
the great question of finance His man.
ner and style make him pleasing to listen
to, and he seems we'll cut out for a stump
speaker. His financial theor les, of course,
are of the most fallacious kind and it is
fortunate for the country that his ideas
on monetary subjects have not been
adopted. Pomeroy Friday evening Great
ed downright sensation in asking to be
pardoned for his "cussedness" of past
years. He admitted having advocated
odious doctrines that deserved bringing
down upon their author ignomineous con-
tempt and the severest punishment, but
he appeared before his audience in the
most repentant spirit and craved for
giveness for the many misdeeds of his
life. Whether this taking on of sack
cloth and ashes is sincere or not cannot
be judged wholly, but it looks like little
game of Bricks to arouse sympathy
among the people and atone somewhat for
the role he is now playing in advocating
the cause he has in hand.

him in every way.
