Paddy Norton and the Black Star were fol-
flowed by Young Butts and an unknown, and
| the last bout was between G. Smith and Tom
/ Jefferson. None Of the local bruIsers
entered for the money prizes. Sluggers can
not make money here by giving exhibitions.
Yesterday morning about $50 an acct
dent which might have had fatal results,
happened on board the steamer Cleon, lying
at the Duluth railway wharf. 1t appears that
steam ives being got up, and owing to the
condensed steam in the chest when the
warm steam came in contact with
the water, the cap on the the throttle valve
was blown off This was close up to the
| floor of the main cabin, and Immediately IN
der where the piano stood The floor was
torn up for some distance, the piano badly
damaged, several of the doors torn from
from their hinges, and the glass in all the
doors and windows more or less broken.
The cabin was filled with steam, and those
who were in their berths on the steamefSwere
badly frightened The. loss will amount to
only few dollars, and things were got in
order again in the afternoon.
The barge owned by Ed Yorks, and in
which he ran a money making chance estab-
lishment on the Wisconsin side for some
time, was on Tuesday taken to the city side
of the lake and received on board some 200
bushels of potatoes, which were to be taken
to New Orleans, for which port the owner
ana Mr.. Cooper were bound Yesterday
morning she was taken in tow by the steamer
R. j. Wheeler for the purpose of going to
| Davenport where onions were to be taken
on board, but she had not proceeded over
forty rods before ii became apparent that she
would not float, owing to her being loaded
almost entirely at the bow. The Wheeler,
finding she was sinking, cut her loose, when
she sank up to the caboose windows, and she
drifted down the lake. Boats were got and
she was towed on shore She will be IN
loaded, and will, no doubt, start again on
her long trip to New Orleans. Somehow
there was not much sympathy expressed for
| Yorks: owing to the use to which he had put
the barge and the caboose. Many who went
to her dill not have as much money when
they left as when they went inside.
Mr.. Schmidt, of Marine, who was formerly
Representative of the district in the legisla-
ture is, we learn, in the field as an independ-
ent candidate, thus making three for that
district, namely: Hon. f. w. Durant,
Chas. Peterson and W. Schmidt This will
make a triangular fight, and let the best man
win. Mr.. Durant, although Democrat,
has no politics in the 1ght, but is the nomi-
nee of those who are favors5le 10 legislation
in the interests of Washington county;~ ard
who will watch with jealous eye anything
That may be done by outside parties against
the interest of Saltwater and the county.
Mr.. Jas. G. Foley is prosecuting a vigorous
canvass and is confident Of success. He has
given a good portion of the time since nom
ination to the county voters, with whom
ne is well acquainted, and his vote will be
large. Mr.. Masterman has worked the most
of his time in the city, and his promises are
many, if they only pan out as well. Mr..
Brush is actively at work, but DR.. Pratt is
taking it easy. Messrs. Sheppard and Fol-
som are doing some big work, and both are
hard at it day and night Mr.. Doe and Mr..
| Drawer are working quietly but none the less
effectively. Judge Lehmicke, DR.. Merrill
and Mr.. Ewing do not have to do anything,
as they have walk-over. Election matters
are pretty warm, and we are pleased that the
agony will be over in few days People
| will not settle down to business until the
| election is over
