years, 8 months and 10 days, having been

For the first time in Watertown a pro-

airy IA, 1888, between Charles Moth,

Lecture by Rev. Geo. w. Pepper.


Rev. Geo. w. Pepper, pastor of the
Methodist church at Ashland, Ohin, will
deliver lecture at Turner Hall about the
first week in February under the auspices
of the St. Bernard's Temperance society.
His subject will probably be 1.-The Ireland
of to-day" He is gifted orator as we'll
as an able writer, an American as well as
an Irish patriot, serving in the war in
the SOth Ohio regiment, and promoted
several times for bravery on the battle
field. Significant of the appreciation he
is held in by his congregation is the fact
that upon the leading window of the new
Methodist church at Ashland are inscribed
the names of the Irish Protestant patriots
Parnell, Emmett and Grattan.

The Sass Murder Case.

The arguments on the motion for anew
trial in the case of the state vs.. William
Sass, the defendant being charged with
the murder of William Martin at Her.
mann, Dodge county, in July, 1855, were
concluded before Judge ellison at Fond
du Lac last saturday. st.-Atty. G. FL.
Gardner, of this city, and Ell. w. Lander,
of Beaver Dam, appeared for the state
and G. w. Sloan, of Juneau, for the de-
feudant. Judge ellison denied tho mo-
ton. The jury rendered a verdict Of
guilty at the present term of court. I'M
mediately after the denial of the motion
was announced the defense set up mo-
ton for a stay of judgment, raising two
points as reasons why the motion should
be granted, as follows: First, whether
the court had jurisdiction by reason of
defects in the affidavit of prejudice filed
by defendants counsel in their application
for change Of venue; second, whether it
was an error in the court to order the
jury to view the premises where the muir
der occurred in the absence of the defend
ant, when he expressly waived his right
to be present. The case has been sent to
the supreme court for decision on the
points raised. The case has cost Dodge
county great deal of money, far great
er amount than was necessary even for
the maintenance of justice to both the
state and the defense.

sioners Monday evening:
The bills of D. Hall for $233.52 in the
Ada III. Robinson case 10 supreme court,
and of Geo. w. Bird for $279.2 for ser
vices in the same case, were referred to
judiciary Committee.
In connection with the presentation of
the above accounts communication from
Daniel Hall was read, in which occurs
the following paragraph:
The decision OF the supreme court not
only reversed said judgment, but for the
first time settled beyond cavil that in
commencing suits of any kind against the
city that service of the summons, or pro-
cess upon the chairman of your honorable
Board is not of the slightest use for any
purpose. This direct, square decision on
this point and constituting the law of 1879
as we claimed it should be, is of itself OF
very great value to the city.

heated chimney. Mr.. Morgan's loss
is about 500 and he has no insurance:
as he permitted his policy to expire
last year. Fortunately for the bal
anee Of East South Milford, the burned
house was at the extreme end of a
street running north and south. and
the high wind set the sparks and heal
over vacant lot. Wind from a point
further north would have caused dis
astrous fire. Hooks and ladders are
necessary adjuncts to fight fre with,
but it requires water TO quench the
flames. Milford should have water
works, and they can be put in for a
cost not exceeding $40, 900; but unfor-
tunately there are a few property-hold-
ers who are opposed to them; and for
the reason that fire would convert
old rat-traps Of buildings into cash.
If the opposition from this class is not
more potent than the demands o. the
public with our next Legislature, the
necessary law will be passed enabling
the town to put in water-works. They
are a necessity.

As coal, or in apt language, "black dia-

the pile of oak wood chopped UP at a wood
chopping last week at Elias c. Reeds is

and the coal prices may change the charm
ing appearance of this wood pile for some.

Chas W. Walls is happy in the possession
Of a bouncing baby boy. There is something
connected with paternity-esPeeially when
the subject is a boy-that elates the human
race, and in just so much as this spirit is
found manifest, by so much we can judge Of
the worth Of man. We congratulate all ia
thers or mothers who feel the joy of exulta-
ton over a new born babe. It is right and
so mote it be.
In our childhood there was always charm
for US in watching the labors of a shoe
maker The pounding of leather in his lap;
the drawing of waxed ends, and the evolving
of foot wear from the leather all contributed
amusement by the hour. But this class of
people appear to have no limit to labor. The
day, the night and twilight all are utilized
and we think that right here in Lincoln we
must have our youthful ideas materialized of
a shoemaker in Mr.. Norton, who not only
burns the night lamp, but finds the demands
of Loncoln for repair to harness, boots and
Shoes pushing him to renewed exertions all
the time.
The colored people of West Lincoln have
changed their public school teacher-their
former teacher, Miss Ferguson, having gone

was to get teacher of more experience as

Many wood stoves are being brought down
out of the garrets and the fancy isinglass

too deep INFO the pOcketto make even agood
FIRE from this fuel enjoyable. The Fourth
ofJuly is coming and with plenty of wood
now we shall be prepared to enjoy the ban
ishment Of zero weather and bask in the
sunshine Of summer.

Angry Republicans

The unequal yoke OfpOlitics has been
CALLING the Republicans of Whining
ton this week in their attempt to get
the names of over one thousand men
on the assessment lists who were left
OfT,Or were returned as delinquents in
former years. The assessors have been
sitting in the City Hall of Wilmington
every day since Tuesday last for this
purpose, and every means possible
were resOrted 10 to delay the
work and annoy the Republi-
cans. Democrats had no trOu-
BILE to get at the assessors by
means of a back door, while the
republicans were compelled to enter
the room one at time. On an aver
age it took ten minutes to assess one
republican, and about one minute to
do the same work fora democrat. The
police were called upon to see justice
done, but without avail, and on We'd
nesday a committee of republicans
waited upon the Mayor to get him to
interfere in the name of peace and
decency. The Mayor, though dem
Ocrat, thought that the methods en-
plOysd on Wedn esday aud Tuesday to
delay the work were outrageous and
he was happy to be able to bring
about justice TO the minority,
There is only one way to put an end
to this semi-annual wrangle over the
assessment, and that is to invoke the
interference of Congress by a contest
of the election by the defeated repub-
lican candidate. There never was a
more high handed outrage even in
Louisiana, than our Delaware system
