Shocking accident.

Our citizens were shocked Saturday to
learn of the terrible death, the day pre-
vious, of Joseph G. Shamburg, eldest son
of g. Shamburg, for a number of wears a
resident of this city. No particulars
have been received except what the brief
telegram brings us. 1t appears that the
unfortunate young man was employed as
bookkeeper in the nitro-glycerine factory
of the Roberts Torpedo Company at Oak
Grove, FIVE miles north of Bay City,
Michigan. He was getting a supply of
glycerine to fill torpedoing salt wells
when a terrific explosion occurred, total
ly destroying the factory and blowing his
body to pieces, only fragments of his per-
son being found. Being the only one in
the building the particulars are not
known. There were 500 pounds of the
deadly material in the factory made few
days previous to the disaster, and the ex-
plosion was plainly felt half mile away.
Joseph Shamburg was born in this city,
and when child removed with his par
ents to Huntsville, Pennsylvania. After
growing to be a lad he made frequent
visits to our city and was popularity known
in the community. He was "a years of
age, and leaves a wife and an infant
child to mourn his awful death. Great
sympathy is expressed here for the father
and brothers over the sad and horrible
calamity that has befallen the family.

The WdteafOo Sensation.

The case of Joseph Thomas, of Sun
Prairie, charged by Miss Veith, of Wa
terloo, with attempting to drown her a
few weeks ago, was called for examina-
ton before Justice Janisch, last Friday
morning. Rogers 4 Hall, of Madisom
appeared for the defense and District At
torDey Kirkland, Chas. Ell. Gardner, Of
this city, and D. A. Seeber of Waterloo,
conducted the prosecution. Miss Veith,
when called to the stand, told her old
story about walking with Thomas near
the Waterloo mill pond and his pushing
her into the water. The attorneys for
defense endeavored to show that the girl
was insane but this procedure signally
failed. The first days cross examination
developed some interesting facts. Sat-
urday morning Thomas came upon tn
stand and testified that while he and the
complainant were walking along the back
OF the pond she asked him if he was 90
ing to see her folks next day, and he re-
piled, Eyes" She then said she guessed
he was going to marry young girl at
Sun Prairie, and witness then, with more
force than elegance, consigned her to
perdition. This she resented by threat
ening to jump into the water, and witness
told her to do SO, and the first thing he
knew she was splashing in the stream be-
low. Witness jumped in after her and
helped her out. Monday the case was
closed by the prisoner, Thomas, being
discharged. He was at once rearrested,
however, and taken to Jefferson Jail
charged with another o6ense in the midst
of considerable excitement. 1t is stated
that the defendant will waive examina-
ton and the case will be tried next Sep
tember at the criminal court.

From Mr.. Knight, who lives about
mile from the works it was learned that
Shamburg had passed his house about
1880 yesterday morning, going toward
the factory, although it is stated by some
that he was seen in the city after dinner.
The report is probably not true, as the
horse which he drove down was found
tied to tree some distance from the
works and there were signs that it had
been given its dinner
As to the cause of the explosion nothing
can be said with certainty. It is stated
that there was about 500 pounds of the
explosive in the tank which had been
made some time ago, aud it is surmised
that Shamburg was putting it into cans
The number of battered cans among the
debris gives plausbility to this theory.
1t is possible that he was thus employe /
and dropped one of the cans, although
| dropping them will not always explode
the contents. Another theory is that he
was manufacturing the commodity and
the mixture getting above the proper
temperature exploded, but the manufact-
urlng us usually confined to the winter
months. The nearest to an authoritative
statement is one that Mr. Shamburg had
orders for tOrpedoes to fill and was at the
works for the purpose of filling them.
All theories of the cause of the explosion
must be conjectural.
Portions of the watch belonging to Mr..
Shamburg were found, bent and twisted
out of resemblance to watch.
A silver quarter was found which had
been bent and twisted by the force of
the explosion. r.
The remains of the unfortunate were
tenderly cared for by Undertaken Martin
and encased in handsome casket, in
which they will be taken to Titusyille.

S. S. Merrill was boss of a construction
gang, and was anxiously looking forward
to the completion of the same road to
Waukesha, twenty miles, when he would
get passenger train TO run.
Alexander Mitchell was then, as now,
a great banker, aud his railroad expert
ence was confined to carrying and indors-
ing paper for the struggling Milwaukee
& Mississippi Railroad
William H. Vanderbilt was running a
farm on Staten Island. His railroad life
commenced in 1865 when be was elected
vice president of the Harlem Railroad.

Bond Case Decided.

Something of au ebullition of excite
ment was created in our community when
the news reached here of decision on
Monday in the United States Court for
the Western District OF Wisconsin at
Madison, by Justice Harlan and Judge
Bum, in the case of Worts VS.. the City
of Watertown. The case was decided
for the plaintiff and judgment entered
against the city, but for what amount it
is not stated. In this case no appearance
was made on the part of the city, as we
relied or our position, long since. main
tanned, that there had been no service,
since service to be valid must be made
on the mayor, and is absolutely void and
untenableiwhen made'upon the clerk and
chairman of the Board of Street Com
missioners as in this instance. When
all the facts are known connected with
this case, perhaps there is not SO much to
be frightened about regarding it. The
city letting matters go by default may
have led to the decision, and it is not I'm.
likely that the court allowed the plaintiff
to take the judgment at his own risk as
to whether proper service had been made
or not. But be this as It may, the neces-
sity of taking action towards the settle
