| Five cars Of a freight train going south
on Wednesday evening were thrown
from the track and badly smashed, about
a mile and half south of this city
The accident was caused by a broken
rail. The passenger train due here a!
1888 P. NJ, was delayed until A. NJ.
The contract for building a break
water was, on Monday evening, awarded,
conditionally, to Mr.. Geo. FL. Sager, at
| $500 foot. The breakwater is to be
built from the foot of Market street to
the foot of Deming street, and is to consist
of two rows of piles. The number of
feet is estimated at 1000.
Oscar Theleen, aged six years and six
months, had three toes of his right foot
cut off by freight train, on Tuesday af-
ternoon. 1t appears that he and num-
Der OF other boys were jumping on and
off the train, and that he fell off, getting
his foot under the wheel. Had not one
of his companions pulled him out, it is
said he would have been killed.
Those living distant from the harbor
may have imagined that the discharge
of artillery on Sunday indicated an at
tack by Herr Most upon the monopo-
lists and "bloated bondholders" of this
city. The firing, however, came from
the deck of the handsome yacht Count
ess, and was merely salute and notice
of her arrival in this port.
The Kenosha County Agricultural So
ciety appears to be dormant this year.
The meeting called for the 22d of May
was not held, there being only few per-
sons present. There will be no fair this
year, and people will have more time to
devote to politics. There is some talk
of getting up a horse show in the fall,
with one or two days races.

Miss Carrie Herberger, of Waukegan,

relatives and invited guests sat down to

handsome presents.
The proprietor of the Courier having
agreed to allow three advertisers to count
his list of subscribers, we will do the
same for the TELEGRAPH. Further, we
will make an affidavit that the list we
give them to count is the regular sub
scription list, and not prepared for the
occasion, and we will expect the proprie-
Or of the Courier to do the same.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says that Col |
Jas. III. Howe, of Kenosha, who was
formerly solicitor and general manager
of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad,
and who, until quite recently, was con-
nected with its legal department, mas re-
tired altogether from its service, and will
devote his whole time to the |
industries at Kenosha, in |
which he has been interested for many
years past.
We have received letter from Mr.. S. |
L. Biglow, formerly express agent in
this city, who is now at Tampa, Florida, |
in the employ of the Southern Express
Company. He says he is getting on
fairly well, financially speaking, and i
the health of himself and family is ex-
cellent. He also states that that section
of country is developing very rapidly,
and that it has fair prospects of con-
tinuing.
About II o'clock on Monday night an
alarm of fire was sounded, and the fire
brigade turned out in full force and
made double quick time in the direc-
ton of Allen & Sons tannery, which
they thought was again on fire. On ar.
irving there they found that some one
who evidently wanted 10 give the boys a
run had ignited pile of brush which |
had been deposited on the tan bark on
the north side of Grand street bridge.
