The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1881-10-29

assistance arrived. The furniture
owned by Charles Watkins who
together with DIR. Flxit occupied
the house, was mostly saved, but
greatly damaged and broken. The
building burned slowly but nothing
could be done to save it. 1t was
worth perhaps $1,000 or ST 800.
Whether it was insured or not or
what the loss on the furniture is we
have not ascertained.
Charles l.. Saxton was married
at St. Paul's Episcopal church in
Duluth, Thursday evening, to Miss
Eva Peterson, of Chisago City.
Charley's boyhood days were spe mt
in Superior where he has many
friends who extend their con-
gratulations.
The body of man was found
floating near the mouth of Midway
river on the south shore on Satur-
day last. Nothing definite is known
about him but he is supposed to be
the brother of Jerry Perault, who
went down Thursday to try to
identify the remains.
The first ties for the Northern
Pacific Bay Front spur line were
brought over Friday by the Minnie
LeMont. Timber for the Nemadii
bridge is on the ground. The iron
is now laid to Filzpatrick's and it
is confidently expected that trains
will be running inside Of six eeks.
Mad anne NeIlsen's musical and
literary entertainment at the Presby-
terrain church Thursday evening
was fairly attended and of average
merit. We are sorry to be obliged
to speak the boisterous conduct
some of the young men, whose pro-
ceedings would be a disgrace to
any community. If they have not
manhood enough TO behave respect
ably for their own sakes they should
at least be made respect the feel
ings Of others.
Ashland is jubilant over the
proposed enlargement and improve
ment of the Chequamegon Hotel.
The addition will be 96x16S feet,
three stories high and contain one
hundred rooms. The building will
be lighted throughout with gas and
contain all the modern improve
ments Ashland seems to improve
steadily. The Press estimates the
building provements this year at
$56,75O.
We noticed "Rumor" of the
Duluth Tribune on our streets Sun
day. That his plaid suit was very
becoming to him. That it's q pity
no one has yet "as ked" him. That
the lady in the patched dress adj
mired him much as he passed. That
he should have been at church in
stead of on the promenade. That
if he had only known it peanuts
would have been cheaper than
the candy. That we'd like to hear
the joke about McKinnon and the
sugar again. That there is a frame
of glass missing in a Second street
building which he failed to observe.
That he ought to come over again
and mako note of it.
Mr.. A. a. Jackson, solicitor of
the Chicago, Portage & Superior
railroad, says that his company will
have forty miles of road, twenty
miles from Superior and twenty
miles from Chandler, built by
January LIST; and the entire sixty
five miles, which is now nearly all
under contract, completed in April.
Over one hundred men have arrived
here within the last few days to
work on the line. A locomotive
and a cargo ofrails are expected to
arrive by steamer next week. Men
are at work building side track
from the river to the main line for
convenience in handling iron
and heavy sundries. The comp any
Is also building quite a number of
houses on the east side of the
Nemadji.
