AUSTIN'S RECORD.
THE ADDITIONS AND IMPROVE
MENTS FOR THE YEAR
1888.
A Brilliant Showing

Wnen year ago. our annual exhibit
showed improvements during 1887 a
mounting to $685., 900, people were aston
ished at the showing, but prophesied that
we had had an unparalleled boom and
must now wait for years before addition
al growth could be chronicled. But onr
annual for 1888 shows that for the past
year over eighty new dwelling houses
have been built and business improve
ments have been made which amount to
the snug little sum of $11S.5OO. Many
of these residences are the tasty homes
of our industrious mechanics, and they
mean that these important factors of our
prosperity have come among US to stay
The year 1887 was phenomenal. The re-
moval Of the Wells machine shops here,
AID their enlargement by the Milwaukee
company to the third in size in their whole
system; the establishment Of the Austin
massive Odd Fellows block, and thirteen
other substantial brick business blocks;
the putting in of our $40, 600 water works
plant, and multitude of other improve
ments showed record such as no city of
our size in the state had made during a
single year. During the past year we
have been trying to furnish homes for the
newcomers that have thronged to abide
with US, and over eighty new residences,
some of them costly ones, are the result.
Our progress has been continuous, and
shows no abatement. We have popu.
lation to-day of over 200. We have $50
pupils enrolled in our public schools du-
ring the present term, and 100 additional
pupils in our private schools. During
1888 the Austin Terra Gotta works and
other new industries were established. and
our live business men are still more fully
assured of the adamantine foundations on
which our city aud its prospects are built.
During the past year the incoming of new
residents was continued, and some of our
most substantial and helpful citizens are
among these who have recently cast their
lot with us, and the doubling ones of a
year ago have to-day caught the spirit of
progress and are taking their places at
the front.
Next year will witness still further i'm
provements, The outlook for employ
ment for all classes of mechanics is good
and large number of new homes will go
up during the coming summer. Our brick
industries are to be doubled, hundred
horse power engine and corresponding
machinery is to be put in at once. The
Packing Company will enlarge their out
put to 5,0OOhogs during the season, which
means an industry of SIS, 900 in this line
Our city will be ablaze next month with
the new lncandeseent electric lights, now
nearly completed. We have room tor
other industries and would like to see es-
tablished here twine factory, a woolen
mill, an oil mill. and a paper mill. We
have superior facilities here for planting
and maintaining new industries, those
that come among us stay. Come and see
for yourselves the Queen City of South
ern Minnesota. You will be delighted
with its enterprise, thrift and prospects
and will not need to look further for q
desirable home or for profitable business
facilities.

An Answer to THE Blue and The Gray

An Answer to "The Blue and The Gray
wR1TTENBY A LOYAL LADY.
The loyal Blue and the traitor Gray.
Alike IN the grave are sleeping;
Lying side by side in the sunlleht's ray,
And under the storm clouds weeping.
Tbs well to forgive the past.
God giving US grace we NAV,
But never while life shall last.
Can we honor or love the Gray.
Our boys in Blue were loyal and true,
For their God and their country dying;
With q greatful pride that is ever new,
We garland the graves where they're lying
They were murderediby traitor bands,
They fell in the fearful fray,
Guarding our Flag from traitor hands;
We do not love the Gray.
We would not hate them. our hearts would
Cast q veil DER their shameful story;
1t Will not bring back our loyal slain
To recall their treason CORY;
But barriers deep and wide
Divide the false from the true;
Shall treason and honor stand side by side?
Is the Gray the peer Of the Blue?
Answers each loyal heart to-day,
They are peers andequais, never:
No wreath on a traitors grave we lay.
Let shame be his weed forever.
Give love where love,:s due,
To the loyal all honor pay,
Love and honor belong to the Blue;
But what do we owe the Gray?
We owe them three hundred thousand graves
Where the loved and lost are lying;
We owe them where e'er our banner waves
Homes filed with tears and signing.
Do they think that we forget our dead,
Our boys who wore the Blue.
That because they sleep in the same cold bed
We know cot the false from the true2
Believe it not; where our heroes lie,
The very ground is holy;
His name who dared for the right to die
Is sacred. however lowly;
But honor the traitor Gray
Make it the peer of the Blue
One flower at the feet of treason lay?
Never! while God is true.

said he was aware that able lawyers

there was a strong prejudice against
Roman Catholics, which had worked
against him powerfully. and that coun-
sci had unfairly aroused this prejudice
by making statements respecting the
power of priests, which were not prop

one of the states counsel re-

men who believed and said that all men
who differ from them in habits or belief
are eternaliy damned. He said that 1t
had been urged against him that he was
a drunkard, whereas he Was not adj

occasion become somewhat lively at a
private champagne supper in hotel
here. He paid for the wine himself,
and any argument he added against
drunkenness came with poor grace
from the states solicitor. Another

demned him for violation of his vows
of chastity and for playing cards with
negro prisoners in the Jail; and yet one
of these very women, he declared, was
the discarded mistress of this attorney.
He said he had all his life played cards,

THROUGH THE BODY.
Young Enoch Crosby Shot Down
at Tacoma.


Special to the Globe.
TACOMA. w. T., Oct. 6.-"My God.
I'm shot," were the words following a
pistol shot heard on c street, between
Fourth and Fifth, last night, at IL
O'Clock. The victim, Fnoeh Crosby, a
plumber, was on his way home, which is
on the corner of Fourth and G streets,
when he was attacked. BE was Just Op-
poSite John S. Bakers house, on Cstreet,
when two men met him and, without a
word, one of them drew a revolver. and.
as the victim was turning to run, the
fatal shot was fired. His cries were
heard by all those living in the neigh
borhood, and upon being asked what
was the matter, he answered: MY
God, Pm shot," and started across the
street. Immediately a number of men
gathered around and the victim was
taken to the house of Mr.. White, where
he now lies without much hope
of recovery. The ball entered the back
over the hip, and, passing through the
body, is close to the navel, having
passed through the intestines. Mt.
Crosby has been splitting and vomiting
blood ever since lying down. DR.. Win
termute was called in and did all he
could for the patient. The man at

about twenty six years of age, and had
only been in the city a week, having
came here from PUyallup. There is no
| clue as yet to his assailant, but the pO-
lice are doing everything in their power.
From all the facts it would seem to be a
case of mistaken identity, as the victim

was shot, and the parties doing it

RAILROAD MEN In COUNCIL.
Gathering of the Protective Asso-
citation at Boston.

BosroN, Oct. GA secret meeting OF
the Steam Railroad Mems Protective as
sociation was held in this city today,
with $50 delegates present from all parts
of the United States and Canada.
Committees were appointed to draft
resolutions regarding the questions OF
railroads employing inexperienced men
and minors, shorter hours for en-
plOyes. and the adoption of safety ap-
pliances. 1t was resolved to support
the anti-Pinkerton bill. The employees
liability bill incurred heated discus
sion, and a law was proposed for
each state, the indemnity to be
$4,000. it being believed that such leg
isIation would do much toward forcing
railway corporations to provide safety
appliances. The federation question
was thoroughly explained by the presi-
dent, and it was decided to enter the
federation. The old board OF Off
GERS was reelected, the eXecu-
tive board being made advisory and
increased to seven members. The ag-
gressive policy of the organization will
remain the same. The legislative COM
mittee's report proved surprise, there
being but few laws in behalf of railway
employees. What have always been
supposed to be laws. it was shown,
were simply recommendation from rail-
way and warehouse commissioners.
The meeting then adjourned.
