are five sawmills here already, and next year
another--to 0e the greatest on the Upper Mis-
sissippi-will be put up. The present pro-
duction Of lumber every season of about sew
en- months, is about 80, ,O00, 900 feet, or a mil
lion and half dollars worth. In addition to
the sawmills are several large planning mills and
sash and door factories. A wagon factory of
small dimensions has good trade West,
Northwest and South. OF the new manufac-
turing enterprises there is an extensive plow
factory under way, and the secretary of the
board of trade tells me that next year will see
tub and pail factory, large tannery, a funi-
ture factory, and perhaps boot an shoe fac

infancy?
THE RAILWAY FACILITIES
of Winona for receiving and shipping are
hardly equalled bv any new city in the coun-
try--certainly not surpassed. The great
Chicago and Northwestern railway, with its
1000 miles of track, 757 of which is west of
Winona, running as far as Fort Pierre, on the
Missouri river, in Dakota, and having lateral
branches reaching into every section where
new traffic can be found or created, not only
gives the manufacturer and merchant every
desired shipping facility, but is yearly bring
ing him in communication with new
markets for his products In the great
West and Northwest. The Winona and st.
Peter division of the road already extends to
Watertown, D. T., distance of 327 miles
from Winona. Another division of the road
which branches from the W. & st. P at
Tracy, runs to Fort Pierre, on the Missouri,

FRANK FOx,s DEATH.
How he was Fatally Bitten by u
FerOcious Bull Dog.

, A1uIA lpOKs
The killing of little Frank Fox, son Of
John Fox, trucker, living on the old
Ferry road, near this city, by savage
bull dog, on Saturday, as related In the
GAZETTE, is one OF the most horrid
affairs chat have happened In this neigh
borhood for q long time.
AT the time of the distressing occurr-
ence the lad, who is not quite five years
old, was playing with the children Of
John DOfan, the owner Of the dog,
whose residence Is adjacent to Mr., Fox;s.
One of Mr. Doran's children went into
the house and little Frank started TO
follow, when the dog broke It's chain
and sprang a. him with fierce growl,
and bore him to the ground, biting and
tearing his throat In terrible manner.
The jligular vein was was several aDd
the poor little victim soon blesI TO death
The other children fed screaming for
help, but none was near, and the savage
beast, after biting the PROSTATE form Of
the boy until its fierce anger was ap-
peased, ran away. Afterwards Ii passed
the house OF Mr.. Fox, just as a party of
men were starting out on hunt for 1t. A
sou of Mr.. Fox fired at it with q shot
gun, the load striking 1t in the head, but
evidently without serious efiec,, as the
animal continued running, and at last
accounts had not been found.
The mangled body of little Frank Fox
was taken home, where Coroner Weldin
aud DIR. Ogle afterwards examined 1t,
and The former issued certificate of
burial. The boy vas bright and in
teresting little fellow, and his narsnta
are almost wild over his tragic death.
His father was in market at the time,
and on hearing of the event hurried
home only to find the horrid news con-
frmed.

Death Of Hanson Hartman.

Hanson Harmsn, q we'll known law
yer Of this city, died, yesterday morning,
o. the residence Of his brother, No. 6l5
King street, In the fifty second year OF
his age. Remorrhage, of the bo wells
was the cause of bis death. g
Mr.. Harman was son of Jacob, and
brother Of Joseph N. Harman, the
weii known furniture dealers. He was
born and raised in Wilmington, gradua-
ted ct Yale College, read law with the
late Hon. Willard Hall, and was ad.
mitied TO the New Castle County bar ip

"a Gigantic Robbery,

A Washington correspondent in th,
Philadelphia Z inaes denounces the de.
mand Of the Commissioner of Pension
as gigantic robbery and a politica
job. He says:
~ have been amused at the nois,
made over all this petty looseness il
accountability because it is really
funny to see how easily the public
overlooks or underlooks the most
gigantic robberies. Take the pension
business, for example. The Commits.
sioner of Pensions has Just put in q
cool request for 500, 600, 600 for the
next fiscal year. In the meantime, al
q little deiciency-pocket money-be
wants $40, 900, 600 right away, Do Won
know what 500 900, 600 meansp Il
is big SUM of money-more than the
best newspaper man ever made in q
year. Fifty million was the deficiency
last year and twenty million more il
wanted. Ninety million will probably
see us through the present fiscal year.
Ah, there is nothing mean about the
pension business. We deal in millions
now. just think of job of carpen-
tering for Sherman as compared with
the great pension robbery, which will,
1t is now estimated, not iall far short
of $500, ,000,000l And yet Sharinan' 8
carpentering, Sherman bay rum.
etc., have created more vigorous con-
domination than this gigantic robbery
OF the ago. Whyp Because people
hate and despise q sneak thief, while
they admire the dash of the robber.
But there is another reason which
comes to brace up this human instinct.
The $500, 000, 600 was bid from a DO
litical party through its representa-
tives in Congress for the soldier vote.
They robbed the people of the United
States Of $500, 100000 to pay o few
surviving ex-soldiers for their fran-
chises in the next coming election.
How did the plan work Did they get
what they paid out other peoples
money for with such wanton liberal
ity? Not much. For the other po-
litical party, frightened at the ghost
OF the ex-soidier, hastily converted the
measure into their own. Both parties
went upon the stump and claimed the
great pension robbery as their ownest
own and boasted of their patriotism In
the bargain This is how the great
robbery mlscarried as a means of
making political capital. At that time
the followers of Hancock and Garfield
scarcely knew the extent to which
they had plundered the treasury under
the hypocritical cant of apatriotism.
Yeu don't hear any Of the robbers
boasting Of it now. Nor are the par
tisan journals publishing column after
column Of small Treasury scandals,
declaiming the great pension infamy
from the h0usetops. The dark, deep,
shadow of the ex-so, ,dier
looms up ahead Of them and the
evidence Of their own parti.
san demagoguery in Congress hovers
over their rear to estop complaint. 1t
Is only the great people behind all,
who are taxed ten dollars apiece for
every man, woman or child, or from
hfty dollars to seveaty.fiye dollars for
every adult male, to pay for this out
rageous robbery, that may groan un-
der the iniquit0us burden.

A man Falls Through the Railroad

made o number of purchases. and
started home, going by way Of the
railroad bridge, where no arrived
apout $50 O'Clock. He had lantsrn
with him, to aid him In crossing the
wet and slippery planks, there being
no f0otway across the bridge.
when almost across the bridge, he
unfortunately slipped and fell between
the ties and fell into the water. His
son instantly ran across to the other
side and gave the alarm, and several
colOred men went out in boat to lool,
for Mr.. Kane. They were not long in
finding him, but life was extinct when
the body was brought ashore. As the
water was not more than three feet
deep where he fell, 1t is supposed he
struck his head in falling, and was SO
stunned as to be unable to help him
self when he reached the water,
Coroner Weldin held an inquest.
yesterday, and the jury, after examin-
ing several witnesses, incorporated in
their verdict OF accidental drowning a
resolution consuming the Levy Court
FOR not providing safe means of cross
ing the Brandy wine at this place while
the new Eleventh street bridge is be,
ing constructed.
Kane was about forty five years of
age, and an honest, industrious, but
poor man, the sole support of wife
and six children. He was foreman for
Patrick Carberry, contractor, and had
recently been engaged in superlntend-
ing the grading operations at J. Moir
u Sons new canning factory. A
curious fact in connection with the
manner of his death is that this is the
third death in the family from drown
ing, two sons having been drowned
within the past three years.
