Found Dead in Bed.

Last Saturday night between II and II
O. clock Mrs. Mary Kelly, widow of Will
liam Kelly, was found dead in her bed at
the home Of her son-in-law, John Hearty,
in The Seventh ward Her daughter, Mrs.
Heafty, had died the previous evening
and the sad picture was presented of both
mother and daughter lying dead in the
house at the same time.
The circumstances OF Mrs. Kelly's
death made coroner's inquest necessary,
and one was accordingly summoned by
Justice Stacy Sunday forenoon. Dr. F.
G. Moulding testified that be examined
the body about $3.50 o'clock Sunday
morning; did not find any marks of vio-
lence upon her person, and from her pre-
vious life and habits, together with her
appearance, would say that she died Of
apoplexy. Other testimony was given
showing that the deceased had been put
to bed at about o'clock Saturday even
ing and from that time had not been seen
until discovered dead by her granddaugh-
ter. In accordance with the above facts
the jury brought 10 a verdict of death
from apoplexy. Mrs. Kelly came here
with her husband some 40 years ago, liv-
ing for long time on farm they owned
in the town of Watertawn..

Death of Mrs. o.. A. Hardie.

Again the angel of death visits a home
and claims the wife, leaving husband
grief-stricken and discoDsolate and to
his teuder care a babe only few hours
old. Mary, wife of Alex. A. Harjie, died
at her home in the First ward, Saturday
forenoon, February 2, 1889. aged % years.
Deceased was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Philo Hine, OF Menasha, at which
place she was married to Alex. A Haroie,
May Is, 1883, and since her marriage
had resided 10 this city. Her residence
among us, although brief, was of sufficient
length to formulate Tor her large circle
of friends, who were attracted to her for
the quiet and reserved manner and the
pleasant ways she possessed. The re-
mains were taken Monday morning to
Menasha, where the funeral was held
Monday afternoon.
Ia this deep af1iction the husband has
the sincere sympathy OF the entire COM
munity.

Regulating the Railroads.

Petitions. signed by large number Of
our citizens. to the senate and assembly,
have been forwarded to Madison in oppo-
silion to the Taylor railroad bill, or at
least to most of its provisions. Our mer-
chants and shippers, particularly. are
strongly opposed to the bill, as in their
Judgment the measure, if it became law,
would prove a great damage to Water
town. The case is cited of shipping goods
from here to Beaver Dam, for instance.
By the Taylor bill the railroads would be
prevented from giving any special rates
10 shippers. By the st. Paul road nearly
100 miles of travel would have to be
charged if the gooGs went via Portage,
and if via Milwaukee considerably more
than 100 miles, although Beaver Dam ;s
only about Is miles distant from Water
town. To reach Beaver Dam the shortest
way from here, via Minnesota junction,
a transfer of the freight from the North
western TO the St. L aul Toau WOuFi h"Ve
to be done, involving an expense Tor r. :
shipping from QUE road to the other As
it is now WATERFOWL shippers get the
same rate on their goods from here TO
Beaver Dam that shippers DO from Mil
waukee to that point. OF course, it can
not be denied that there are some wise
provisions in the Taylor bill, but when it
steps in and will not allow The roads. to
compete for business, this is where it is
not sound and works an injury to the
people.
