Brown City Notes

The Pt ii. & n. w. R'y Co. have
been making improvements at this
place by putting in switch at VIM
Hosken's brick yard also by putting
the old siding i'll good repair and
placing switch at the blind end.
No more blind switches at Brown
City. The fact is the city needs it,
judging from the amount of freight
that is daily unloaded at the depot
Owing to our Mr.. Bruce being
n new man at the business and no
doubt being a little timid, he failed
to compete with Inlay City in prices
for grain, but since he has got his
hand in he is paying as much as any
market in the county and more than
a great many. To prove it there
was over thirty loads of grain un-
loaded here on Saturday last.....If
Windsor Bros. would take that star
spangled banner down and braid it
up, it would look more solid. ..... r.
q. Brown has been under the wealth
er for the past week but is now able
to be around. zee. There has been a
number Of Sullivan knocking out
matches of late in our city. Among
the most prominent principals is the
renowned Ben Powell. Born on
Friday the 10th inst, Mrs. Edward
Grace, of twins. doctor Lister is
about to buy another Texan pony.
He drives a pair. The doctors re-
port a good deal OF sickness. Miss
Mary Powell of this place was mar
ried last week to one Mr.. McCracken
a farmer near Deanville...... Wind
sor Bros. have received their iall
stock of boots and shoes and ready
made clothing and are selling them
right down cheap.

had hurt his heart. The couch in the
Office was fixed up for him and he lied
down and it seemed to ease him. He

Special Dispatch to the BEE.
New YORK, May 22.-The Grant FAM
lily wal indeed financially crippled in the
late panic. When General Grant to-day
denied the rumor that "Buck" Grant
had skipped to Canada, placing it on the
broad ground that the young man hadn't
money enough to get out of New York,
he laid bare o new idea of the extent tc
which the crash had injured the family.
Another evidence Of it has just come
to light. 1t appears that Senator Chat
fee, of Colorado, has hired a house at
Morristown, New Jersey, for his daugh-
ter and her husband, who put all her
ample dover into the rat hole with all
the rest. and who is now too poor to
live in New York.

NOR that his son U. s. Grant. Jr., had
fled to escape arrest was wholly without
foundation.

to go out by the smoke. At intervals the
doctor called to Weaver and told him to
come out. He would answer "Sir2" but
further than this he would make no
reply. AT length no answers at all were
returned, and it was supposed that the
man had been suifocated by the smoke.
DIR. Winfrey, Faigle and "Frits, one ofthe
patients, then repaired to the basement,
and on entering did not AZ first lind
Weaver, but after a hurried inspection
Faigle saw him peering through the
wooden grating of the north cell. He
still had lis knife and club, and appeared
to have been in no wise disabled by the
smoke. DIR. Winfrey endeavored to in
duce him to lay down his arms, u he
declared that he proposed to die IN the
cell where he stood, at the same
applying the knife to his wi throat. He
shook his weapons menacingly, warning
the persons In the room not to modest
him. The patient Fritz approached
Weaver and e~ndeavored to knock the
knife from his hand, ~soincensing HIM that
he struck back with the club, the blow
being warded off by DIR. Winfrey, who had
a stick in his hand. Then DR.. Winfrey
attempted to knock the club from Weav-
er's hand, but was did not succeed in
breaking the madman's powerful grip.
Weaver again placed the knife at his own
throat, whereupon DR.. Winfrey approached
and attempted to disarm him. At this
Weaver set upon DIR. Winfrey. striking
him with the knife in the forehead and
as the steward stepped back the colored
man struck him a terrible blow on the
head which almost felled him to the floor.
Meantime Faigle had secured a long pole
and with this jabbed Weaver, who at
tempted to advance and was within a foot
of the cell doorway when DR.. Winfrey,
having recovered from the attack which
had been made upon him, drew a revolv-
or and fired. Weaver fell, shot through
the heart, and in fifteen minutes died.

CHICAGO, May 22.-The TRANSCRIPT
mental Railway association resumed its
session this forenoon. AS a condition to
joining the proposed money pool, the
Atohison, Topeka and Santa Fe road
urges that the Union Pacific withdraw
from the tripartite alliance. Whether
this will be urged to the point of breaking
off all negotiations will probably be deter
mined at the session this afternoon.
Ths matter was discussoda a, tn after
noon session. 1t was urge. by Atchison,
Topeka q SantaFe that the Union
Pacific could not deal fairly with both
the members of the money pool and the
members of the tripartite association at
the same time. 1t was finally decided,
however, to continue the trans. contin-
entail association and not form a money
pool. The Union Pacific withdrew its
withdrawal therefrom, which was to have
gone into effect May Oath. The Texas
Pacific and Missouri Pacific were admit
ted to the association. Another meeting
will be held tomorrow morning.

The Faraday's Cable Layer.

RocKPoRr, Mass, May 92,-The arriv-
al of Faraday was greeted by a thousand
people and the firing of cannon. The
shore end was landed and will be con-
nected with a section previously buoyed
$50 miles east of Rockport. The citizens
rendered a reception to the officers, but
they declined till the cable was finished.
When the Faraday steams away this af-
ternoon she will splice the cable, thus
making a complete circuit from Dover
bay o Rockport. She will then steam
thirty miles east of Dover bay and take
up and splice the shore end laid from
Dover bay toward the east coast. When
this splice is made she will sail for Ire.
land, paying out 1000 miles of the deer
sea section. She will then buoy The
sections and proceed to London for thu
remainder of the deep sea sections. AT
ter taking this on board she will go bach
to her buoy and finish laying the deeI
sea sections to the Irish coast.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
The report of the senate committee on
postofiices and post roads on tho subject
of the postal telegraph has been complet-
ed by Senator Hills. 1t includes a sum
mary of the history and increase of debts,
rentals and capital stock of the Western
Union company, and the value of its
property, leased and otherwise, and says
it would now require to reproduce a line
in every respect equal to those of the
Western Union-350, 600 miles OF wire,
the cost of which, including poles, con.
struction and instruments, would not ex.
coed $40 per mile, making a total cost of
S24, SOC, 000.
THE REPORT ASSERTS
that the passage of the postal telegraph
bill will reduce the average charge per
telegram from 80 cents to 20 cents i'm.
mediately and to 20 cents in 8 years,
and secure uniformity of charges ire
spective of the amount OF business in diff
ferent places, for kilograms to newspa-
pers and to commercial news associations.
The report further says the power which
the telegraph companies themselves have
MANIPULATING NEWS
for sinister purposes, will be entirely
taken away, and the same power poss.
essed by the associated press and other
similar associations will be greatly re-
duced. For the purpose, the report says,
of giving fabulous fortunes to its inside
managers of the Western Union and
their friends, the temptation to abuse in
the
HANDLING OF H MARKET QUOTATIONS
is enormousa and will sooner or later prove
irresistible. The proposed bill insures
competition in furnishing such news tc
more important places, whereby the
field for profitably tampering with pub
lie intelligence will be so narrow that
the temptation can no longer constitute
a sensible danger.
