THOMAS v. MAGUIRE, the subject Of
this sketch. was born in New Jersey,
and with his parents, when he was
quite young, removed to Kenosha Co.
in this State. From his youth he
WINGED power and .brilliancy of in
tellect amounting almost to precosity.
In very few years he mastered all
that could be acquired at the country
district school, and he was then sent
to Kenosha where he completed a full
course at the famous Kenosha High
School, after which he. entered the
Northwestern University, Upon his
return he was elected County Superin-
tendent Of Schools for Kenosha, by an
almost unanimous vote of the county,
two only being cast against him. The
duties Of the Office were never more
faithfully discharged, and he will be
long and affectionately remembered by
every one having at that time anything
to do with the schools Of that county.
4 short time later he entered the law
Office of Judge E. 0. Hand, of this city,
where he laid the foundation of that
legal acumen and correctness which
was after wards his Characteristic. He
was twice elected Justice of the Peace
in this city, and what can be said Of
few others filling that Office here. none
of his decisions were ever reversed in
the higher courts. Politically he was
a liberal Democrat, and in his party he
welded power second to no one in
the city. He Married Miss Pienkows
Ky, for several years teacher in the
Public Schools Of Kenosha, whom he
leaves to mourn his loss. Thu true
faithfulness with which she SO long
administered to every want Of her af-
fiicted husbrnd will be long remember
Cd by his friends and relatives.

REUNION OF OLD SETTLERS.

REUNlON UE OLD SC l. LLLAO''
The Racine County Old Settlers So
ciety held a Reunion at Franksville
Racine County last Thursday. The
day was clear and delightful. The as
sembly, old and young, was about two
thousand.
The Racine Adu0c0te says: :
There were a score Or more Of Sep
tuagenarians, half that number OF Oc-
togenarians, and enc at least who had
passed the Goth mile post.
The old flag was there, and also mot
toes in evergreen conveying words of
kindly greeting; there was music by
cultivated band, and rare vocal music
the speakers were eloquent, well-timed
and appropriate; letters read from alb
sent friends full of old memories and
good cheer; and viands fit for the gods.
The universal verdict is, that taken
all in all, the affair was the most heart
lily enjoyed, the most delightful gath
ering ever held in Racine county. s.
An invitation was sent by the Chair
man of the Executive Committee of
the Racine County Old Settlers Society
for publication in the TELEGRAPH, to
the Old Settlers of Kenosha County, to
Join in the Reunion, but unfortunately
it did not arrive till after the paper
was printed. We communicated the
invitation verbally to some of the Old
Settlers with the request to extend it
to others, and we hope some Of them
attended. H.. m hHHr .

ACCORDING to the estimates of the
RaizaUay, World, 100000 persons are
employed on the railroads III this
country, and five times that many de-
pend upon the roads for support.
It is also estimated that between $500
100000 and Ss40o,oo0,0oo are annually
paid to employees and to persons who
furnish the companies with supplies
of various kinds. Fifty years ago
there was not public railroad in the
United States, and the enormous bust
ness indicated in these figures is the
outgrowth of less than half a century
in the country's existence.

The supreme court of Iowa has Just rem
dered an important decision regarding tn,
rights Of steam railroads to use the street.
of cities for their tracks. AS the Dakots
law is similar to the Iowa law, under which
the decision was made, the case is ofinteres
here. The original action was brought BY
Sarah w. Stanley against the city of Daven.
port, for damages for injuries received, and
in the Scott county court a decision was
rendered adversely to the claim of the plain
tiff: A telegram gives the details of the
decision on the appeal:
The case was appealed to the supreme
court by plaintiff, who claimed certain
damages against the street railway company
of the city Of Davenport for their steam
motor causing her horse to take fright, and
thereby ~ipjuring her person. Judgment
was rendered against her in the court below.
Justice Sewers reverses the judgment, on
the ground that the city OF Davenport is
liable for all damages occasioned to persons
and property by the running of said steam
motor. He holds that the city does not
have the authority 10 sell and convey the
title, held by it, Of the streets, or author
ize the streets to be used for private pur-
poses, nor can it, without legislative author
ity, grant the use of Il street for a public
purpose, which renders it dangerous for the
public to travel over it in any other man
ner. The power partakes Of that of the
eminent domain, which under our govern
ment can only be granted by the lsw-mak.
ing power of the state. Streets and high.
ways are under the exclusive control OF the
general assembly. 1t matters not If the fee
of the streets is in the city, it has no au'
thority to control or grant rights and priv.
ileges thereto or thereon unless it has been
so authorized. Justice Adams files an opin'
ion dissenting thereto.
