Rescued from Death.

The following statement of William ].
Coughlin, of Sommerville, Mass, is so re-
markable that we beg to ask for it the at
tention of our readers He says: "In
the fall oe 1876 I was taken with a vio-
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by
severe cough. soon began to lose my
appetite and flesh. l was SO weak at one
time that I could not leave my bed. In
the summer of 1877 I was admitted to the
City Hospital While there the doctors
said I had a hole in my left lung as big as
half dollar. l expended over hum
dred dollars in doctors and medicines. /

COncOrIiN Bat MOSQNe.

The Musical Society Concordia are
preparing to give one of the finest, most
unique and fascinating Masquerade Balls
ever seen in this city at Turner Hall on
pains are being spared to render this all
that can be desired in the line of enjoy
ment and for brilliancy unequaled by any
thing of the kind ever attempted here.
Among the notable characters to be repre-
scented will be Sarah Bernhard and her
babe, Prince Carnival and his staff of
Fools and a number of others both of the
grand and comic order. A splendid and
truly enchanting feature of the occasion
will be the brilliant illumination of the

which will make Turner Hall appear as a
part of fairy tale, enabling those pres
emit to well imagine themselves in the
midst Of one of the "Arabian Nights En-
tertainments."

Jefferson COaI9ltU Jail.

The following is the report of the State
Board of Charities and Reform on the
condition of the Jefferson county Jail al
their visitations during last year:
Visited by the secretary May II anc
December Is, and by Or. Reed several
times. This is two-story brick building
with sheriffs residence in front. With
the court house, just finished, the public
buildings are an ornament to the vii
lage.
The Jail is well arranged to provide
for the classification of prisoners. There
are four Corridors with five cells in each
and two hunks in a cell, thus making
room for forty prisoners Each corri-
dor is entirely separate from the rest, sc
that it is not necessary for any prisoner
to be seen by any other prisoners than
those in his own corridor. The present
sheriff separates the prisoners mostly on
the principle of nationality, to save
quarreling. One corridor is specially ar
ranged for hard cases; each cell has a
double door, the inner one barred door;
the outer one of solid iron, but little
shorter at the top and bottom, so as to
give a chance for light and air. The
classification is not upon the best princi-
pies, but is much better than the usual
plan Of herding all prisoners together in
discriminatory.
Ventilation is by means of holes above
and below in the corner of each cell.
The hole in the floor seemed to be usual
ly covered up with slop bucket by the
prisoners. The sewerage is excellent; by
means of a reservoir filled by a force
pump, and self.acting privy seats. The
prisoners wash in common wood pals. A
wash sink ought to be put in each CORR
dor. The sewerage all goes into a great
reservoir behind the jail, and distant a
rod or SO. Two questions were asked
in regard to this reservoir. The first was
what will be done when this reservoir is
full, and the second was whether the con-
tents do not leach away through the soil
to the danger of wells in the vicinity.
The answers were that it would be a long
time before this hole filled up, because it
was carried down through the clay to a
water bearing vein or stratum of gravel,
and that the effect upon the wells in the
line Gifts leakage had not been thought
of. The proper sewer ought to be built
to the river, and these dangers would be
avoided.
To prevent communication with the
outside world a high board fence has
been built close around the Jail, thus
largely preventing ventilation through
the windows.
At the time of the last visit there were
ten prisoners; one charged with burglary,
three sentenced for larceny, three for
vagrancy, and the rest for various minor
offenses. Among them was an insane
man who has passion for burning build
ings, and was therefore sent from the
poorbouse to the Jail, and boy ofseven-
teen years old, who had been in the in
dustrial school, and who had been re-
leased On the petition of his neighbors.
He was now in for larceny. The sheriff s

Railroad ShGDs.

The second railroad to be actually be-
gun in Wisconsin was the Rock River
Valley Union railway, now the main line
of the Chicago & Northwestern railway.
Its northern terminus was at Fond du
Lac, which city voted an unusually heavy
amount of aid, by binding ITSELF pro-
viso being that the car shops of the road
should remain at that point forever.
During many years the shops remained
there as agreed, adding greatly to the
material prosperity of that city; but the
company finely removed them to Chica-
go. 1t the present time another village
is expecting similar misfortune There
fore, to prevent removals in such cases,
Assembl lyman cambridge on Saturday
sent up a substitute bill, which is as
follows:
"Section /. Whenever any railroad
company shall have located or shall have
used for three years any railroad car or
machine shops located within the limits
of any corporated city or village, which
had contributed to the building of the
railroad of the company owing or using
said shops, it shall be unlawful for such
company to remove such shops out of the
limits of such village or city, or to dis
continue the usual and ordinary use of
the same, without first paying into the
treasury ofsuch village or city the amount
paid by such village or city for the build
ing of the railroad owned, used and oc-
cupied by such company, and such re-
moYal without the payment herein pro
vided may be prevented by injunction al

Death By Drowning.

On Tuesday afternoon this week as two
little girls were playing upon the foot
bridge at Beloit, which is temporary af-
fair, one of the girls, Matte Ferris, aged
about twelve years, lost her foothold and
fell into the Sioux The ferry was just
below the bridge and she fosted directly
under it, causing the delay in rescuing
her. George Sherman dove under the
water and nearly reached her two or
three times, but about forty minutes
elapsed before she was found and life had
fled. Only moment before she fell over
Mrs Rood and Mrs. Nelson passed over,
and warned the children to be careful, and
they and several Others saw the little child
drown, which must have been heart-rend-
ing. The deceased was the on y daugh-
ter of the proprietor of the Reynolds
House, who came here year ago. The
parents have the sympathy Of all in this
