The Skating Rink

There seems to have been some mis-
understanding between the managers
of the skating rink and the clerk of the
weather in regard to the arrangements
for opening the rink last Monday even
ing. The weather could not have been
more unfavOrable for the purpose. The
rink on that evening was in better con-
dition for boat race than skating
However, the weather changed and by
Wednesday good field Of ice was form
ed and the opening took place Wednes-
day evening. Quite number of skaters
were present and spectators were com
ing and going all the evening. The band
was in attendance and enlivened the Oc.
casiOn. Everything passed off harmon.
iously and a good time enjoyed.

The Post and Tribune says 1.-THE new
iron sidewheel steamer City of Cleveland
is now lying at the Detroit dry dock, and
her machinery is being put on board.
She sits in the water as lightly and grace
fully as duck. She was evidently built
for speed, and if she does not make an
unsurpassed record on that score there
is no relying upon the shape of hull as
an indication. Her upper works will be
constructed as rapidly as the weather
will permit. which thus far has been
very favorable for outdoor work. The
new boat will be ready to come out early
in the summer.
1t is understood that her owners have
not yet decided upon what route to place
her. RumOr has it that they think she
is just the boat for the Mackinac BUSH
ness. Bat there are already several pref
ty good boats on that line, which fully
meet all the requirements.
What Detroit greatly needs is line of
her own boats to Marquette and HOugh-
ton. 1t seems to us that the City of
Cleveland is just the boat for that route.
She could rely upon all of Dstr0it's trade
with the Sault and with Marquette,
HOughtOn, Hancock, etc., and during the
entire season could have the cream of
the business. Being a staunch, new
boat, a side wheeler and elegantly fitted
up and furnished, she would have all the
passenger business she could care for.
1t is doubtful she could not find a more
profitable route or one that would make
her so popular fayOrite with the peO-
pie of this city and especially its mer-
chants, who desire to cultivate more in
innate business relations with the mer-
chants of the Lake Superior region, par
ticularly so i'm view of the fact that iron
and copper mining and all the indus
tries of that region are sure to boom as
never before"
Should the owners conclude to put her
on the Lake Superior route we would
suggest that they take in ChebOygan and
Mackinac i'm the route. The need of a
line from this section to the upper lake
has long been long felt, especially is this
the case during summer travel, and
tourists seeking for pleasure, have been
put to much Inconvenience heretofore on
this account. Aside from this we be-
lieve they would get considerable other
business that would make it to their in
terest to take in the two places, in that

At a meeting of the lumber dealers in
Chicago, held on the 2lst inst, a call was
issued to the lumbermen of the North
west, including wholesale dealers and
manufacturers, for convention to be
held at the fremont House, Chicago, on
Wednesday of next week, at 10 a. m. The
reasons assigned are that the prospects
of the lumber trade are such as to make
material advances in prices necessary

We regret to have to announce that
Rev. j. Homer Parker has declined to
accept the call so unanimously extended
him, some time since, by the COngrega-
tiOnal church and society to become the
pastor of that church. For something
like six months Mr.. Parker has filled
the pulpit of the church in very ac-
ceptable manner and has won the love
not only of the members of the church,
but the community at large and we feel
that we but give expression to the feel
ings of the church and community when
we say that his declining the call will
be sOrrOwfully regretted by all. The
reasons, having the most weight in
causing the decision arrived at by Mr..
Parker, are that the winters here are too
severe for his wife and youngest child
whose lungs are weak, and the opening
of larger field of usefulness. Mrs.
Parker has, during the winter, been
troubled more or less with her lungs
and for some time has been suffering
with severe cough and this has, doubt
less. had its influence with Mr.. Parker
in making the decision he has.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker during their brief
residence in our village have made many
warm friends and their loss will be
deeply felt. Both have taken an active
part in the church work and ever evinc-
ed a strong desire to advance its inter-
ests. The church had been so long with
out pastor, when Mr.. Parker took
charge of the pulpit, that it was in a
very disorganized state and this has
made 1t more laboriOus for him. 1t is to
be hoped that successor may be speedi-
ly obtained that the effect of his labOrs
may not be lost. He will occupy the
pulpit for two more Sabbaths before
leaving for Peoria, ILL.,, the new field to
which he has been called. We think we
can assure Mr.. and Mrs. Parker of the
sympathy and best wishes of this COM
munity wherever their lot may be cast
and should they find it convenient in
the future to visit our village a warm
and hearty reception from all will await
them.

The DeposiIsof Sawdust in River

A special telegram to the Inter Ocean
from Washington says some of the navi-
gable rivers of the West have been in
jured by deposits of sawdust and vast
age from lumber factories. These de-
posits have so filled up the channels as
to render futile the governments efforts
to deepen them, and seriously to impair
the navigability of the streams. The
government has spent large sums of
money in improving the navigation of
these rivers, but the deposits make the
channels worse than they were before
this money was expended. Mr.. Dunnell
has introduced bill fOrbidding mill
owners to deposit in any of the
navigable water of the United States
any sawdust, slabs, or wastage, and fix
ing as penalty fine of from $500 to $4,000
a I'd in default of payment, imprison-
ment for not more than six months.
Provision is also make for the institu-
tiOn of civil suits In the name of the
United States, against those who DISC
hey this prohibition, and if violation of
the statute be admitted OF proved the
damages in all cases are to be $500. and
such further sum as the court may adj
judge. Conviction and punishment un-
der prosecution for the misdemeanor
is not to be pleaded as a defense to a
civil suit for damage.

Desperate Encounter With a Bears
 PoTTsYILLE, Feb. 24.-Joseph Browlins, Hungarian, with several of his countrymen, recently found work as woodchoppers in wild region of the Blue Mountains. Last Saturday, after light fall of snow, Browlins found the trail of large animal, and started alone with his gun to follow it. He failed to return at night, and the next morning his companions started out to hunt him. After following his trail for about three miles, they found Browlins lying in the snow, insensible. his throat gashed, his arms scared and bleed ing, his chest showing deep scratches, and part of his beard torn of. His empty gun lay by his side, and 8 line of blood spots, leading of through the woods, showed that said he had followed the trail about an hour, when hs came upon large black bear. He fired at it. but missed. The animal did not show disposition either to fight or fly. He fired again, when the bear rushed at him. He had no time to reload, but struck it with his gun, with which he kept the animal at bay until his foot slipped and he fell, when the animal bounced upon him. He retained presence of mind enough to get his knife out of his pocket and open it, though he was fearfully bitten and clawed while doing so. With this he stabbed the bear repeatedly, until, with snort of pain, it gave up the fight and ran away. He said he fell asleep and remained there until his companions found him.

Threats of the Kearneyites-Talk of
 Another Committee of Safety.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24.-At the sand lots yesterday Cannon, the leader of the unem- ployed workmen, intimated that they would finish their rounds among the employers of the Chinese this week, after which there would be less noise made, but meetings would be secret and dangerous to those who had re- fused to comply with their demands. The Board of Supervisors, Chief of Police, and . number of prominent citizens held private consultation yesterday. which is believed to have reference to threat made by Keerney to erect gallows on the sand lots this week. Among the business classes there are express sions heard in favor of reviving the commit tee of safety.
