The New Orleans daily papers
would doubtless find it greatly to
their advantage, and at the same
time confer great favor on the
citizens of Covington, if they would
make some arrangement for sup
plying us with Sunday mornings
papers on the day o: publication.
1t is true, newsboy comes over on
the New Canelia every Sunday,
but he never gets as far as Coving-
ton, and frequently sells out before
the boat reaches Old Landing.
And if he happens to have few
papers left, there is a general
scramble for them, and many anxi-
GUS purchasers are doomed to dis
appointment. Even the regular
subscribers to the city dailies would
willingly buy Sunday mornings
papers, if they could do SO, and
thereby get the latest news some
thirty honrs ahead of the mail. We
hope this matter will be attended
to. Better send q few copies too
many than not half enough.

HISTORY OF NORTHERN WIS.
CONSIN.

That the History of Northern Wiscon-
sin, now in course of preparation by the
Western Historical Company of Chicago
will be valuable and complete is evident
from the thorough manner in which the
work is being done i'll this county. Four
members of the force have now been en-
ployed for several weeks in collecting
data from early pioneers, files of news
papers, official records in fact from
every possible source which can ensure
an interesting and reliable county history.
Manitowoc will be we'll and thoroughly
represented. Some idea of the magni-
tude of the work being accomplished by
the company may be obtained when it is
stated, in general terms, that thirty FIVE
counties lying north of line drawn
across the State from Lacrosse to She
boygan county will find place in the
History of Northern Wisconsin. Each
county seat will be favored with bird s
eye view, and the portraits of fully 200
of the prominent professional and bust
ness men of past and present days, will
greet the public. Views of important
buildings, landscape scenes and other
features will be brought in. calculated to
make the history attractive as we'll as
trustworthy. The work, in short, will
be of great general interest, as well as of
local value, and cannot but be grand
view of the business growth, social de-
velopement, and natural attractions of
Northern Wisconsin.

DOWN ITO DEATH.

On Saturday at ternoon last railroad
collision occurred through which three
men lost their lives. Michael Grey. Rob-
ert Bibinger and John Poets. 1t is a
| difficult matter to as certain just how the
accident was possible and there are a
number of confictin g stories aioat. The
gravel train was going toward the north
and the wood train was coming from the
opposite direction. The conductor of
the wood train, Wo]verton, telegraphed
the agent at Burnan, wood station to hold
the gravel train, until he (Wolverton)
reached there. Wit lout awaiting re-
ply he started out W ith his train. The
operator neglected to- signal the gravel
train and the two met on curve, wreck
ing the engines badly and killing every
man on one train with the exception OF
the conductor. Grove, the engineer on
the wood train, his fireman and the con-
ductor jumped from the train and saved
their lives, Grove having first reversed
his engine. The conductor of Grey's
train also jumped off and shouted to the
engineer and fireman to save themselves.
They remained at their posts until the
last minute and then attempted to jump.
Their locomotive was going backwards,
and when the collision occurred the ten
der, which was in the lead, was doubled
up against the engine, catching both
Grey and Bibinger. 1t swung around
and threw the former "a distance of about
twelve feet, but held Bibinger fast
Steam began to escs .pe and there was
imminent danger of the entangled man
meeting death by scalding. He entreat
ed the men who were trying to extricate
him, to chop off his leg, telling them
where an axe could be found. He was
finally released but it was evident that
death would soon end his sufferings.-
Grey was hurt so badly that he lived but
for short time. He was conscious to
the last and gave directions as to the
disposal of some mon ey he had with him.
"Why did you come, Dan2" he said to
the engineer of the other wrecked train.
81 am dying" He lived but few min
utes. The brakeman was thrown against
bank and a car stru ok him on the breast.
he fingered until one o'clock the follow
ing morning.
The widest excitement prevailed here,
the homes of two of the men. Every
body who it was thought was responsible
for the horrible acc ident was bitterly de-
nounced, and the d eed was looked upon
as murder. The bodies of Grey and
Bibinger were brought to the city on
Sunday morning an given to the friends
of the deceased, who were dazed by the
suddenness of the misfortune which came
upon them. The funerals took place on
Monday forenoon.

GEORGE RATHsACK, a Pollock not un-
known to justices, constables, etc., has
beer in trouble again. He was posted
some time ago, but in spite of that he is
constantly furnished with liquor by some
disreputable person, the names of two
of whom have been ascertained by the
marshal and also will be promptly pros
ecuted. Poor George is the victim of
an appetite over which he appears to have
no control, and is more to be pitied than
censured, but the villains who furnished
him liquor ought to be punished to the
full extent of the law. Rathsack was
found by the marshal on the street last
Saturday night dead drunk. He was
taken out on Monday morning and taken
before Justice Byron who fined him 81
and cost. The reason for the light pun
ishment was that the Justice had knowl-
edge of the almost absolute inability of
the man to resist the temptation of tax
ing intoxicating liquor when placed with
in his reach.

The following quotation from scripture
fell from the lips of Pat Sullivan, home
missionary, on Monday last, when he
heard that certain unfortunate had been
sent up for sixty days, "Yea, verify, I say
unto you, the wicked shall gnaw file,
and flee into the mountains of lIepsidam,
where the lion roareth, and the whang-
doodle mourneth for its first. born" For
the benefit of those who may seek to find
the above passage, we will add that we
believe it has been omitted from the new
version,

A PETITION signed by some forty per
sons, has been handed in to our city board
asking that the board take some measure
in making the road between Gerpheide's
and the city passahle, and safe for loaded
wagons. They claim that this road, or
rather street, is their nearest route to our
market, and that that portion west of the
city in the town of Manitowoc Rapids, is
in good shape, graveled and graded, and
serviceable the whole year around. We
know that what is set forth in their petit
ton is substantially true; would it not be
both wise and business like to give the
farmers of the town of Rapids a good
street in our city to come in on with their
commodities; when they have done their
share of the work up to the corporation
line. We don't see what is to hinder the
board of aldermen in moving in the mat
ter, even if some of the property owners
along that street do object. Let the
board move and have the work done, the
general public will cheerfully second
their efforts by hearty endorsement.

The Rockford Daily News says of the
Swedish Lady Quartette, which will APP
pear at Turner Hail next Tuesday eve
ming: "The voices of the ladies are
sweet toned and full, with depth and
power quite wonderful, and blend har-
mouiously together. The Swedish and
German selections showed the full power
of the voices, some of the renderings be-
ing remarkable. Though they display
their best efforts in these selections, they
exhibited rare ability in the airs more
familiar to the American ear. They were
frequently encored'"

ST.. JOSEPH (Mo.) HERALD: "The
Quartette have attained to an almost per
feet harmony, and sing together with a
unity of intention that can only have
come from long study, great talents and
much practice. Their voices blend to
produce the most charming effect Quiet
in style, dignifed in manners, and
thorough in their treatment of their Sc
lections, they please without one appar-
ent effort. In o word, they are trained
artistes, and not merely ladies with a
taste for music. Miss Gavin is kindly
remembered in st. Joseph since her visit
of couple of months ago, and was rap
turously received. With one exception
she confined herself to humorous recita-
tons, and fairly convulsed the audience
with laughter by her selections from the
ever popular Mark Twain"

W. J. CHRISTIE of the Journal was
arrested for petit larceny on Monday and
sentenced to imprisonment in the county
Jail for thirty days and to pay fine of
S25. There can be no excuse for theft
and Mr.. Christie has justly earned the
punishment melted out to him. He had
reputation to build up and encountered
sufficient obstacles without adding to
them by his own acts. The excuse that
he is needy will not suffice for him. A
young man unburdened by family can
easily earn enough to support himself
and at the same time, if desired, maintain
that false gloss of responsibility so sought
otter by those who think labor is undig-
nifed.
Christie was in very straitened circum-
stances financially, poor excuse, but it
palliates his crime to certain extent
1t is said he is addicted to the opium
habit. This would naturally destroy all
sense of moral responsibility. His pow
erty, since he came to Manitowoc, his
living in hand to mouth manner for
two years and the many e1pedients to
which he was forced to resent to raise q
''Iittle cash" blunted his sense of hon
esty and led to the commission of deed
which blasts his life. He is truly an
object of pity. No means of support
and lacking strong hands and willing
heart to earn livelihood, of those
brought into the world for the mere pIr-
pose of passing through life.
