THE LIVELY POP.
A sharp Fusiiade on Alien street
 Thursday.

About II o'clock Thursday morning the lively popping of pistol on Allen street, set the denizens of that thoroughfare in an undue state of excitement. The shooting occurred at the Way Up saloon, kept by Lane & Blair, and the senior member of the firm was the target. The EPITAPH, with its accustomed enterprise, had d representative on the ground some minutes before the fusiade opened. The facts of the case, and the cause thereof, are as fol- lows: Early in the morning Lane was in formed that certain lady was packing q c0w-hide around for his especial benefit, and that when they encountered each other hell would commence to pop. About 10 o'clock Mir. Lane met the lady on Fifth street, near Allen. She did not use the cow-hide, but called him one side, and a satisfactory explanation was entered into Joe Price was spectator of the interview, and said in the presence of a num- Der of people that he had bought a Us0 it, as Lane had maigned her character lie further stated that Lane had used in his presence the offensive expression, and that hc had informed the lady of the remarks made. soon after MT. Lane went io his I'!ltt i.i RbrlilSso, lht NN dJ DS pdteUu Dii Allen street, and about fifteen mluu es af- tcrwayds Price followed him. The latter stood at the door and called LaLe out He was informed that Lane wished 10 hold no communication with him whatever, or have anything to do with him.

place to decide whether the city will
buy the water works or not. This is q
question of great importance to every
citizen, and should receive careful con-
sideration.
At present the city pays.the water
company $4,000 per year, and if the
works are extended to other parts Of
tho city, the rent will be still higher
The citizens are asked to allow the
Common Council to issue city bonds to
the amount of $4,000, which sum is to
pay for the works, as they are now,
and also to make necessary extensions
1t is said that the city can borrow
the $4,000, on its bonds, by paying
FIVE per cent. year, and we believe ii
can do so, as money in the Eastern
markets is abundant, and the city OF
Alpena is able TO offer first class Sc
curity--it having no present debt.
The yearly interest on $4,000, at five
per cent, would be $3.50. The city
at present pays Il yearly rent Of $4,000.
This would leave Il difference in favor
of the city every year Of $3.50,
which could be placed in Il sinking
fund to redeem the bonds The differ
ence between what is now paid by the
city yearly for rent, and what the city
would have to pay yearly as interest on
the $4,000 bonds, would, in the length
Of time that the city has contracted
with the water company, pay off all
the bonds, and the expense to the tax
payers would not be so great as it
would if the city has to buy water
from the company.
The next thing 10 be considered is
whether the rent, paid by those persons
who use the water for domestic use,
would pay the running expenses and
repairs. The amount paid by citizens
last year for the use of water for do
nestle purposes, was $4,000. The de-
mand for water, for domestic purposes,
is far more likely to increase than
diminish, and it thus seems reasonable
TO believe that the amount Of money,
received for use of water for domestic
purposes, will pay the expense Of run
ming the works and the necessary re-
pairs that are certain to be needed.
This is the principal point to be con-
sidered by the voters. To run the
works requires at least three men, be-
sides which some city official would
have to look after collecting the water
rents

force Of men was not large, but unfor-

With two dogs harnessed tandem
fashion to hand-slcigh, James Hunter
last Friday made trip from Rogers
City to Alpena, distance of forty odd
miles, in seven hours. He returned
Sunday, making equally as good time,
the dogs appearing none the worse for
the drive. The dogs are Of medium
size, weigh about seventy-fve pounds
each, Of the much-abused cur breed,
and the owners offer To wager 800
that they will haul 1900 on a fair
snow road. In the early days of north
ern Michigan, dog trains as they
were termed, were preferred to any
other animal TO carry the mails and
make long trips, and many remarkable
stories of their great power of endur-
ance is told. On numerous islands in
Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, they
are still used by the inhabitants to get
out wood, cedar, hemlock bark, etc.,
and are most valuable aids to their
owners in making living.-Presque

The Alpena City Hospital.

The undersigned would announce
to the citizens of Alpena and vicinity,
that they have opened an Hospital
for the treatment of all Surgical and
other diseases.
This new enterprise meets q want
that has long been felt in this COM
munity, where a large number of nn-
married men, sick or wounded, away
from home, will find all the comforts
of warm rooms, good, clean beds,
proper food, good nursing, careful at
tention and skilful treatment Of ex-
perienced Physicians and Surgeons.
The Hospital is managed on the CO.
operative plan, at present. Those
wishing to receive its benefits pay
from SO to SO per year in advance,
and if taken sick or injured any time
during the year, they will DO taken
care of, boarded and treated without
any further charge.
The rates charged are SO moderate
compared with the benefits received
that this Hospital must commend it.
self to the public as soon as it shall
be thoroughly understood.
Arrangements are made that one Of
the Doctors will be on duty night and
day, when required by one or more
patients.
DR.. Maiden's great experience as d
Surgeon during our late war, the last
year of which he had charge Of o
large Military Hospital, together with
over twenty years practice, cannot be
questioned in its success.
DR.. Newton, although younger, has
had large Hospital experience, and
has particularly devoted good por'
ton of his time to the study of dis.
eases of the Eye and Ear.
We would respectfully solicit the
earnest support of this enterprise, es'
pecially by those whom IL is most in.
tended to benefit.

The editor of the Bay City Call has
been making the trip from Bay City to
Chcboygan, on the new railroad, and
from his account Of the trip we copy
the following
when train No. 81, going north on
Saturday, pulled up at Otsego Lake, q
team was in waiting for George n
Fletcher and his son Frank, of Alpena,
whose nearest camp is only twenty
miles east of Otsego, and proposing to
take in all their camps and drive
around by the way Of Hubbard Lake,
they expected to reach Alpena some
time during the day on Tuesday. The
distance by the most direct travelled
road from Otsego Lake to Alpena is
eighty miles, and it is proposed, as soon
as night trains are Oh the railroad, so
that passengers can start in the morn
ing from either end Of the route, to
put on a daily line of stages between
Alpena and Otsego Lake, whereby q
saving of nearly days time will be
made between Alpena and this city.
Ii is said that there is one stretch Of
the road where for eighteen miles there
is no water TO be had, but those who
understand the route thoroughly, say
there will be no trouble in overcoming
this difficulty. There is one other ad-
vantage this route will have which is
materially in its favor Sleighing is
liable to continue thereon, as it does
nearly every year almost to the open
ing Of navigation in the spring, and
the travel being mostly from Alpena
and portions of the Presque Isle county,
the class of passengers is decidedly
pleasanter than that which much of
the old time journeys over the shore
line.

Protection and the Glass Industry,

Protection and the Plate-Glass Industry.
Last week we showed that the pro
tective tariff did not tend to increase
the wages Of the American cotton spin
ners and weavers, but, on the contrary
had the effect Of making their wages
less productive, owing TO the increased
prices they had to pay for the necessary
articles they purchased.
This week we desire to draw atten'
o. ton to another protected industry-the
plate-gass business, which is protect
cd by the enormous duty of 1l2 pei
cent. Protected by such high duty
with a good market for their goods
and with not a very great home com
petition, one would naturally suppose
that the plate-glass manufactures:
would be able to pay their operatives
good wages, especially as this is the
principal reason they give for retain
ing the present high protective tariff.
That the plate-glass manufacturers
had a good market for their produc-
tons, is shown by the fact that in
1880 there was imported into this coun.
try foreign glass to the amount Of
s390,741, on which a protective tax
vas levied, the amount of which tax was
s437 Alp. The value of the home pro-
duct in the same year was 1865, 800.
1t is therefore plain that the American
plate-glass manufacturers were unable
in 1880 to supply the American mar
ket. This, of course, meant ready
sales and a good market. As the for
eign glass could not come into COM
petition with the home made glass with
out paying doty of 112 per cent, it
is also certain that the American plate
glass men received good price for
their goods. There is no doubt but
that they took advantage of the tariff
and increased the price of their glass
until they had reached the limit set by
the 112 per cent. duty, and if they
could manufacture plate-glas. as cheap
as foreigners, then they had clear
profit Of 112 per cent. and the charge
for freighting across the ocean besides.
II is therefore natural TO suppose that
the American plate-glass manufacture
ers paid to their employees generous
wages, as the protective tariff advo-
Gates, who speak SO feelingly about the
danger of having the American work
mems wages cut down by foreign com
petition, if the tariff was reduced,
would never be guilty of pocketing
all the profits caused by the protective
tariff of 112 per cent. OF course the
operatives must get the benefit of what
the protectionists say was done on pur-
pose for them,
