e. l.. Mills, one of the Milwaukee's
catchers, was in the city Saturday to make
terms for next season with the Milwau-
kee club, but was unsuccessful. Last
season be caught in sixty-three games
and received ST. 900 for his work. Next
year the directors want him to play for
the same amount, but be wants ST. 500.
The directors of the local club have al
ways maintained that players record
cut no figure with them, but they told
Mills that SchildkDecht's record was bet
ter than his, and on that account could
not afford to pay him more money. The
records Of both catchers should not be
compared at all, as Schildknecht caught
in only eighteen games last season. Mills
il one of the "reliables'' of the Milwau
kee team, his catching, base running and
timely batting being greatly admired, and
his habits are most exemplary. Mills
never worked for a record, but for games
and the team, and he is plainly entitled
to higher salary than he has received.

Strange and Mysterious.

Stories have been going the rounds for
some days past of women being assaulted
in certain parts of the First ward, mainly
on Fourth street, near Clyman. Ia most
of the cases the mode of attack is by
choking Some of the reports no doubt
are exaggerated, but there is enough Of
truth in them to demand serious atten-
and ton the strictest vigilance on the
part of the authorities, in the hope that
the person or persons guilty of the out
RACES may be discovered and punished.
During the present week several females
tell the story Of having been attacked by
this person, and it is known that boy
was also molested by him and badly cut
and bruised. For various reasons we do
not give names The work of this man
is very much like that of crank, and
before doing much more harm it would
be we'll to have his Infamous proceedings
nipped in the bud.

Collapsed.

The collapse of the Columbia Building
aud Loan association, of Chicago, in
which number of our citizens had taken
stock, tells another tale Of misplaced con-
fidepce and money poorly invested. The
Watertown branch was organized q
little less than year ago, the notorious
w. F. Shaw, now in limbo charged with
burglary, being the individual who got
in his fine work ON our people. But,
mainly, it was through j. N. Eddy's name
being connected with the project that the
citizens here took hold of the scheme,
they having become convinced through
inquiries made by parties having business
connections with Mr. Eddy that he was
reliable and strictly honorable, as well as
sharp and careful in looking after any
business matters entrusted to him.
Now when too late it is discovered
what illusion there is in name. Three
hundred and fifty shares in the ass0cia-
ton we're disposed of here, upon which
was paid the sum of 81, PIG 80. There
is no probability that cens will ever be
received from the wreck. A true bill of
indictment against Shaw has been found
in Judge Jamieson's court, Chicago, for
burglary and receiving stolen property.
The j. /. Perry Manufacturing Co.
The affairs of the J. L. Perry Manu-
featuring company became still further
complicated by the assignment of the
property, Thursday last, to Frank B. Tut
tie for the benefit of the creditors. Ne
gotiations, however, are in progress be-
tween the assignee and the Bank of
Watertown to raise their attachment is
sued some days ago upon the property of
the company. Should this effort succeed,
the company's works would start up again
"a result much desired by our citizens.
The assignee informs us that he is in re-
ceipt of orders for machines every day,
and also letters from parties making in
quiries about them with view to pur-
chasing, indicating widespread populari-
ty of the machines and the ready demand
for them.
To allow this plant to leave the city
under the circumstances, would be un-
wise and shortsighted on the part OF our
citizens, and every reasonable effort
should be made to retain it. All the COM
pany requires to place it en- a paying
basis is good management. The ma
chimes manufactured are all right, and
there appears to be no trouble about sell
ing them. The J. L. Ferry company has
done a large business and employed
number of men. To have these men 90
away to seek employment elsewhere would
be serious reflection upon the business
resources of WATERFOWL. If this city will
do nothing to keep the works the plant
will 90 either to Berlin or Beloit, both
places standing ready to make the pur-
chase when the opportunity arises.

The Straits to which Young Married
Man at Boston Was Put.

The Straits to which n Young Married
Man at Boston Was Put
heard tha other day an authentic
story OF something that happened here
in Boston. which recalls an incident in
one of Balzac's novels and tends to sup
port the old saying about truth and fic-
ton. 1t seems that the wife of young
man who has little house OF his own
somewhere in the outlying districts, Lut
whose salary is very small fell i'll, and
was unable TO leave her room for sew
eral months. The doctor, as often
happens, prescribed great many rem
edies, tonics and beverages. such as
Apollinaris water and champagne,
which. being very expensive, were far
beyond the young husbands means.
What could be done? He was bound
that his wife should have everything
which the doctor ordered. and. his purse
having been emptIed. he stole out one
evening with the parlor clock under his
arm and returned with afive-dollar bill.
A large easy-chair was expended two
DAYS later for few bottles of port wine,
and, TO cut the story short, by the time
the young woman was able to go down
stairs, the rooms on the first floor had
been stripped of their contents to pay
the grocer and the apothecary.
1t must have been bitter moment
for the poor young wife when she first
saw what havoc had been wrought in
her drawing-room, and ! dare say that
for a few minutes at least her good man
felt that he had been too clever by half.
Ii must be acknowledged, however, that
he acted pretty wisely. Health is more
important than furniture. and in time
the household goods will be replaced.
The plan which this enterprising fell
low pursued was surely better than
helping himself out of his masters
cash-box. and perhaps it was preferable
to the ordinary course OF running In
debt; certainly it was more original
