trip to our quarries yesterday, as pc,
advertisement. The train consisted o.
five coaches and the usual regulation
beer car, but the other equipments that
usually accompany such exclusions die
not show up and that was the shell
men, or, if they were on board, were
no where to be seen. The parties thai
were in charge of the beer car did not
while anchored at the quarries, do any
very great amount of business, for the
essential reason that Iron county had
its law-abiding and law officials, the
Hon. Mr.. Sheriff and staff, on hand,
that held the fort in manner most
creditable, not only to the people OF
our own vicinity, but also to those ad-
jacent. The engine that hauled the
train to Iron Mountain did not come
out to the quarries, but the Schneider
engine went out and brought the train
| in, in two sections, arriving at o'clock
and remaining until 5 P. NJ. There

persons, who, having relatives and

noticed several Irontonians and persons
from adjoining towns present.
