SKETCHES OF EARLY HISTORY
OF KENOSHA.

+ The early history and settlement Of
Kenosha has been published in vol
ume of the State Historical Society j,
also at different times IN fragments in
the county newspapers. Before South
port had two hundred inhabitants, the
subject of village Incorporation be-
gan to be agitated. In the fall Of 1880.
at a meeting of citizens. committee
was appointed to draft village char
ter. That being done, the proposed
charter was forwarded to Madison, to
Hon. William Bullen, then resident
of Southport, and member Of the
Territorial Council. The act incor-
porating the village of Southport was
passed February Q, 1S41, with proViso
that it should first be submitted to the
legal voters within the limits of the
proposed corporation for approval be-
fore becoming law. An election was
held in March, 1881, at which time the
question of acceptance Of the charter
was voted upon, and 90 votes were
given in favor, and 6 against. The
names Of all those who voted on the
question at that election are found
registered in the village record now in
the Office of the City Clerk. OF the
number who voted for the charter only
one is now living in this city-N. R..
Allen and, as far as known, four-ffths
of the others are not now living. OF
the six who voted against. all are dead
except H. Durkee.
On the first Monday in April, 1S41,
the first election for village officers
was held. The villge was divided in
to two wards, the harbor dock dividing
it into North and South wards. David
Crosit, Chancey Davis and F. S. Lowell
were elected Trustees in the South
ward; j. Bullen, A. ID. Northway and
William Seymour; Trustees in the
North ward.

imperfect machinery. effectively con-
structed furnaces, and unskilled labor,
their triumph came, and has tcen
more signal and complete than they
ever anticipated. Tho writer has q
clear recollection of committee
of three old charcoal iron masters,
from those who used to visit the "Swan
Exchange self appointed to go to Dan
vile, to inspect the anthracite furnace of
Riddle & Chambers. Their report pro-
nounced tho project entirely impracticable;
that the iron was worthless and that ono
of the obstacles to the success of the enter.
prise was, that two keepers were
required on turn, and black
smith kept constantly employed
to sharpen tools. They were not imbued
with the spirit Of prophecy and if they
could look upon the giant growth of the
iron trade since the date of their pilgrim
age to Danville in 1888 and the wonders
that have followed in its train, they would
be startled at the marvels that havs been
wroughtsincs theirreport. Then the annual
product of iron in the United States was
about zoe, 900 tous; now it has reached
5000, 900 of tons, an increase of moro than
twenty fold. while the achievements of tho
arts and sciences are constantly investing
the march of civilization with new tri-
umphs and blessings.

Having seen it he started home
via the Reading railroad. When near

platform of a passenger car, smoking,
when Conductor Kinch, who was in charge
of the train, told him to go inside, as
passengers were not allowed to stand on
the platform. Miller reluctantly obeycd,
but continued to smoke. Tho conductor
told him if no wished to smoke he must 60

On reaching the smoking car Miller
pistol at him and fired, the ball cutting
through the conductors clothing close to
the breast. Miller was seized and disarm-
ed, and a telegram was forwarded to Man
helm to have an officer on hand to arrest
him when the train arrived. On reaching
Sellers station, Miller jumped from the
the train, and received injuries so serious
as to prevent his escape. He was taken to
Mannheim, where an officer took him in
charge and a justice of the peace commit
ted him to the county Jail for hearing.
On reaching Lancaster, John II. Fry, esq,
entered bail for him, and he was discharg

a very narrow escape from being killed.

Foreign Disasters,

An explosion has occurred in o mine at
Besegges. in the arrondissement of Alais.
France. Nine bodies are thus far recovered.
At the roll call. which was had after the
explosion, 127 miners failed to answer
to their names, and it is feared that
there are many victims. The greatest
excitement exists, and the entrances to tho
mines are crowded by anxious and grief
stricken relatives. A search party has
been instituted and is now at work.
An explosion of gas occurred in Paris,
in the green room of the Ambigu theatre,
while performance was being given.
The noise of the explosion did not reach

FLEEING FROM HER PARENTS.
"A -Four teen Year Old Girls Love for
Worthless Young Man.

"A
Worthless Young Man.
case has Just come to light, the. parties
being May Goslin, aged fourteen years,
and Charles VandenhOOf, worthless
serving term in the state prison at Wau-
of the Milwaukee & Northern railway,
rails and wrecked. Some months since
the youthful pair formed an acquaint-
ance which ripeneG into love, and
of this the parents of the girl, who reside
boarding school in the city, where she re
was made of the fact that the lovers were
maintaining a clandestine correspondence.
Then she was taken and placed under the
care of a Mrs. Lang, residing in the Ihir
teenth ward, and who is said to be sister
of young Vandenhoof. With her aid and
assistance. it is now asserted, May packed
her trunk and prepared to leave the city.
This fact became known to a brother of
the girl and he proceeded to
the house to remove her to a place of
safety, but found that she had become
aware of his intentions and fled to a place
of concealment, presumably to await the
coming of Vanderhoof. The police were
placed on the alert, but their investigation
has led to no result beyond the establish.
ment of the fact that Vandenhoof is at his
home in Spencer still, awaiting an oppor
tunity to fly to his girl love, whose hiding
place he seems to know. May Goslin is
described as tall and quite elegant in ap-
pearance, as we'll as quiet, lady like and
pretty. Vandenhoofs chief object in
marrying her is said to be that he may
secure a portion of her fathers wealth.

APROPOs of the discussion of election
frauds by the distribution and use of
bogus naturalization papers, the Exam
iner goes into some alleged reminis-
cences of the presidential campaign of
1856, when it declares that all sorts of
frauds were committed exclusively by
Democrats and the editor relates that
" one pleasant moonlight night in pass
ing through Washington Square in
Philadelphia with gentleman who was
familiar with the Buchanan campaign,
he pointed out a house on one of the
streets facing the square and said In
that house were made the false natur-
alization papers WHICH carried Pennsyl-
vania in the October election in 1856 and
which made James Buchanan president
of the United States" The Eraminer
need not go 80 far back nor so far away
from home to revive recollections of
this kind of frauds. On one of the
main streets in this city, in the broad
sunlight Of full day, he can be shown a
house where in the memorable cam
paign of 1872 bogus naturalization papers
were made for the purpose of the Re-
publican party and the bogus seals were
appended to them in the back office. A
little further up the street he can be
pointed to another conspicuous building
in which, on certain election day
within the memory of boys not yet old
enough to vote, tax collector sat all
day making out bogus tax receipts, at
the behest of Republican politicians,
and dating them back to kiver acci-
dents"
