WM. THoMAs-In refere nee to the re
moval of Vim. Thomas as canal superntend
ent by the new board of commissioners, the
Dixon telegraph, edited by Mr.. Shaw, a for
mer member of the boarl, has this to say:
The Chicago Tribune says that " canal cir
Giles are stirred up by the action of the board
of canal commissioners in removing William
Thomas from the office Of superintendent
position he has held for twenty-five years
Mr.. Thomas friends say the loss to the ca
nal will be rreparable, the receipts being
less than ever before, and the most careful
management being necessary to meet ex-
penses." The Telegraph is inclined to the
thought that Mr.. Thomas resigned, an act he
has contemplated for some time, and especi.
ally during the past two years; as he and
the commissioners have not agreed very
we'll. 1t is certainly to be regretted that
the canal and the state are to be deprived of
the services of Mr.. Thomas. There is not
to-day living more able and efficient canal
manager than William Thomas. A man of
excellent Judgment, long experience and
strict integrity, he has for term of quar-
ter of century been fearless defender CT
the canal and watchful guardian Of the
states interest on that great work; and now
that he is but in the prime of life, certainly
mentally, it appears to us, and we have had
the best opportunities to judge of this mat
ter, his loss to the canal is irrcparabe and
much to be deplored by all who have hoped
to see the canal interest prosper in our state
and in the west.

Bridge Question,

Mr.. Editor:-In the issue of July 10th of
the Marseilles Pidmdealer | noticed an arti-
Gle headed 1.-THE Possible Bridge lnjunc-
ton" wherein the writer makes the insult
ing assertion that Dayton is the power be-
hind the throne in the injunction case
against the Marseilles bridge. While do
not wish to enter into controversy with one
who shows such an evil spirit toward the
Dayton bridge as Mr.. Pdmdealer, do wish
to say TO the Marseilles people, and in all
truth, that the Dayton people are in no wise
connected with the injunction case, and If
they would for moment consider, they
could not but come to the proper conclusion,
that the Dayton people IN place Of inspiring
anything of the kind would fight against it,
as they did do. with two bridges now on
her hands, is it reasonable to add a further
and unnecessary burden? We say unneces-
sary, because two thirds Of the year the
river Ia fair sized creek is tordable, or could
be made so and in any event the proper
ton Of farmers using it, in comparison with
the expense of bridge, is very small &c.
In the first place, using the PIoihdeaier' :
argument, if the Fox river is but fair
sized creek, and the Pdindsaler cannot but
admit it is at east the largest creek in the
town of Rutland why do the vrtuous and
saving people of Marseilles allow the com.
missioners of highways to expend year after
year hundreds of dollars for bridging creek
after creek of much less importance. why
not let the people return to the primitive
method of fording, he speaks of. 1t is not
because he thinks bridge unnecessary at
Dayton that Mr.. Pdmdsdier was inspired
with his editorial, but for fear Marseilles,
the poor suffering town Of Aarseilles, might
lose portion of her trade, that brought 1t
about. As to the benefit to the people OF
Rutland outside of Marseilles that the two
bridges would be, make this assertion, and
cannot be contradicted, that where one
crosses the Marseilles bridge ten would cross
the Dayton bridge | want it distinctly I'M
derstood | am not fighting the Marseilles
bridge, for they need one hut what do
wish to impress Mr.. Ploin3eale- and his ''co-
horts'' with is that the spirit he shows is
not consistent with the promises made time
and again by the people of Marseilles to Day
ton, that when bridge was wanted at Day
ION they would vote for it and when we
asked them to fulfill their promise, and only
asked them for $500, as We raised $1,000 Il
their proportion, they turned III the face OF
all promises to not only the Dayton people,
but to the man who has probably done more
for Marseilles than any other outside OF the

CHICAGO. July 20.-Late tonight
three successive alarms were turned in
from the southwest part Of the city
heIalding fire, which, according to
latest estimates, has destroyed upwards
Of $500, 900 worth Of property. 1t was
nearly IL O'Clock when the buildings
of the Wells < French Car and Bridge
Company were discovered to be on fire.
Engines were quickly on the spot,
but the efforts Of the iiremen were al
most without avail. The works of the
company comprised several buildings.
situated al Twenty second and Pauline
streets. At the hour Of midnight all
of these. together with their contents,
were total loss. In one building was
stored wood and other material for
1900 cars. This was one of the first
destroy ed.
The fire is believed to have had its
origin in spontaneous combustion, as its
source has been traced TO cupboard
where refuse from the psint-shOps was
kept. At this hour (l2:30) the loss, a.
shove stated, is thought not to be over
estimated. Il has been impossible to
ascertain the amount of Insurance car

DUBLIN, July 20.-The Earl Of Car
narvon' Lord Lieutenant, in reply to a
population Of persons interested in the
Munster Bank, who called to urge him
to use his influence to secure Govern
ment aid for the bank, said that the
Government could not give direct aid
to the Institution. The Viceroy ex-
planned his statement that the Govern
ment would be unable to aid the Mum
ster Bank directly, after having on FRI
day last promised to use his influence
to secure Government aid, by
saying in his first statement he
meant to express his personal sympathy
with the losers by the banks suspeu-
sion, and his desire to render them such
assistance IS lay in his power. Since
then he had understood that it was out
side OF the power Of the Government
to give such aid except in case Of
panic, which seemed imminent few
days ago, and thus prevent a public
calamity. Matters had since then
taken q more favorable turn. and the
Munster Banking Company ought
now to be able to resuscitate the
bank without Government aid. The
people, Earl Carnaryon said in conclu.
sion, would always have the sympathy
of himself and his colleagues in the
Government in such trouble as that iu-
