DURING a recent visit To Mineral
Point we took occasion to visit the
zinc-white works recently put in op-
Grafton in that city, and by the cour-
tesy of the night foreman we were
shown through the establishment
We found it much larger than we
had anticipated, There are twelve
furnaces, tower, fan, engine house
and bag room--the latter being =
building about forty by eighty fee,
four stories high. The process of
making zinc white is, in brief, as
follow: The drybone and pea or
dust coal are ground up together,
rolled and screened. The charge is
placed in furnaces in heavy rolled
iron CRATES with perforations for the
passage Of air. The charge is about
20 per cent. drybone and so per cent
coal No fiuxes are added, the Oh.
ject being to keep the charge from
becoming imperylous to the blast
which is furnished by fan blowers

charge. The oxide thus formed il
carried to the cooling tower and from
thence to the fan, which forces il
through the three-foot pipe to Tho
bag room, sixty feet distant Tht
bags are Of heavy muslin, 80 fee
long, and are suspended vertically
from the upper part Of the building
Through these bags the air anC
gases of the draft leak out, while th'
hocculent zinc-white powder is re
tained The bags are shaken out
every four hours and the oxide is re
moved. The works have capacity
of forty or fifty barrels per day
The machinery is driven by a very
fine 60-horse-power steam engine

John Anderson, residing about
three miles southwest of Platteville,
on Saturday last, during the heavy
rain storm, went down to the branch
to secure some fence rails that were
being washed away by the rising of
the water. He waded into the water
several feet and took hold of rail
TO pull it out, not noticing large
breast of water that had just broken
loose above him. His daughter saw
it and called to him to let go aud
come out, but he did not heed, and
kept on at work until the flood struck
him, when he let 60 and turned to
come out. But the current was too
strong for him, and carried him
down at a rapid rate for three quar-
tcrs Of a mile. lie said nothing, but
seemed to fix his eye on some object
below where he expected to rescue
himself. He succeeded in keeping
bis head above water for about forty
yards, when he sunk for an instant,
than rose again and was carried for
fifty yards rising and sinking as he
went, when all AZ once he raised him
self almost out Of the water, then
sank for the last time.
His body was found in less than
an hour after with his head down
stream and his legs caught in a
bough that was lying across the
stream. The deceased was about II
years of age, native of Yorkshire,
England, having come to this coun-
try In ls4o.-- fFattevi2le Times

that the body had been placed in
box, and buried. Specuations as
to probable murder, long years

anything more will ever be known

in the back-end of the smoking car

MUCH excitement reigned at the
county seat last week over the find
ing of the body of dead child
Particulars, as stated in the Chroni
Gle, are these:
On Wednesday evening, as Eddie
Cahill, Jimmie Lowery, and Harry
Stevens were going home from
school, Harry noticed a package
done up in newspaper lying neaI
the fence in VIM. d. Knowlton's lot,
and calling the other boys attention
to it, they discovered it to contain
the body of an infant.
The news Of the ghastly find soon
spread, and the authorities removed
the body to the town hall, where a
post mortem examination was made
by Dr. II. Perkins and an inquest
held before Squire Northey with
VIM. Sands, VIM. Elliott, Sr., James
Cox, Thos. Rogers, Richard ID. Davies
and Michael Olson as jurymen. The
facts developed on the inquest were
that it was fully developed male
child, weighing 10 or II pounds,
and that it had been murdered after
birth. DIR Perkins gave it as his
opinion that it had bled to death
from the navel ligament, which had
been torn apart and not tied up,
though the left side Of the skull was
crushed as with a blow from a stone
or some other hard substance. 1t
had evidently been dead for some
time, as decomposition had set in
about the mouth. The body had
been first wrapped in brown paper
and then enclosed in an unbleached
muslin sack evidently made and
used, previously TO keep smoked meat
in, a. il emitted a perceptlble odor
OF ham( and this wrapped up in part

In it's last issue the Dodgeville
San treats with much good sense the
foolish habit the press of the country,
TO great extent, has become heir to
that of stuffing their columns with
fulsome praise and flattery in behalf
of some incoming comedy, dramatic
or concert company, and all for a
free pass. Printers would reap more
benefit in the long run to insist on
receiving pay for what they insert,
and paying for what they get.

were brought to this city for burial,
