Mrs. McGo.rick' Sudden Death.

The entire community was shocked
Sunday morning to learn of the sudden
death of Mrs. John F. McGolrick, a
lady well known and popular in the
circle in which she moved She was
attending service at st. Bernard s
church, and had partaken of commun-
ion, when, feeling fainting spell COM
ing on, she did not take her seat, but
proceeded to leave the church. Her
son James noticing her and surmising
that she was not feeling well, immedi-
ately followed her to the front en-
trance, and as she reached the steps
his mother fell down heavily upon
them. The son started at once to sum-
mon help and DIR. Masterson was sent
for, but by the time any person had
reached her the vital spark was gone,
and her spirit had fed to meet her
Maker. Her body was taken into the
church, where it remained until re-
moved to her home, which she left
only few hours before in good health
SSlid Will buOy lGClluSS. IL Was
terson gave it as his opinion that Mrs.
McGolrick's death was caused from
heart disease. 1t is said that she had
been troubled at intervals with an af-
fection of this kind for some time past.
A death sudden and unexpected is at
all times sad and startling, but in this
case, taking as it does fond wife and
loving mother, the visitation comes
with additional severity and sadness,
and calls for the broadest sympathy to
be 9extended to the afflicted Mrs.
McGolrick was a native of Ireland and
56 years Of age. She leaves husband,
two sons and two daughters. Her
funeral took place yesterday morning,
the body being followed by long pro-
cession of vehicles, containing rela-
tives and mourning friends. The SER
vices for the dead were held at St.
E E4rnard's church, Rev. Father Con-
don conducting the mass.

$500 Miles Without a Cent

WatertOwn was visited last Thursday
by couple young newspaper men who
are making trip of 2 500 miles through
this section, to be completed in forty
days and without costing a cent. They
are members Of the City Press associa-
ton, of Chicago, and their names are
J. T. Hollister, representing The Even
ing Post, and } r. Duvall, representing
The Herald. Roth the boys are dead
broke" as far as finances are concern
ed, but while the "stringency in the
money market" is most pronounced in
their case, they are rich in an abund-
ance of nerve and perseverance. They
subsist entirely on the generosity of
those with whom they come in contact,
railroad and hotel people being the
principal ones worked. AS one may
well imagine, the trip is proving most
novel and interesting one, replete with
adventurous incidents, and it is often
their experience to be elected from a
moving train and being compelled
to count the ties to their des-
tination. Their journeyings have
taken the boys from Chicago to Min
neapolis, thence through the Lake
Superior region as far east as Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, and from there south
ward. They arrived here from Fond du
Lac On one of the Ringing Bros circus
specials. and after spending the day in
viewing the town and taking in the
circus, departed in the evening fol
Madison. While here Messrs. Hollis.
ter and Duvall were guests at the Com.
mercial hotel and the Hotel Daub
They were found to be most agreeable
and entertaining young men by all who
met them. After leaving Watertown
there were still SO miles of the trip te
be covered, but the boys were very
confident Of completing their journey
within the required time and accord.

Ringing Bros Shows.

Thursday was red letter day for
Watertown and the surrounding coun-
try, made SO by the appearance of
Ringing Bros shows. People began
to flock into town early in the morn
ing, and by noon the streets in the
line of the procession were crowded,
the number of strangers in the city be-
ing estimated at 10000. Seldom as
good and never better display on the
streets was made than by Ringling
Bros concern The vehicles, equip
ments, horses, wild animals and gene.
raj paraphernalia all bore evidence of q
well maintained and closely looked
after combination. The employees were
urbane, pleasant and accommodating,
and we have not learned of a single
disturbance during the visit of the
show here, showing that the proprie-
tors are particular about those enter
ing their employment. The perform
ances were of the highest order, and
every act was a marvel and a wonder.
The interest was kept up in three rings
from the beginning to the close. Many
of the feats were altogether new and
there was nothing stale nor of the
chestnut order. The collection of ami
mails was very fine, a splendid giraffe,
beautiful zebra and monstrous hip
popotamus carrying off the honors, al
though the lions, elephants and tigers
could not be excelled by any menage-
rie on the road. The Ringling shows
are credit to the profession. and it is
not surpi. ,ing that Wisconsin takes a
pride in the Ringing Bros. and their
superb aggregation.

Board of State DEPOSITS.

Perhaps the following may put some
people to thinking that the old way
might have been the best way to have
had our state funds taken care of, for
the interest saved the state under the
new "idee," does not seem to avail
much in the present contingency of
affairs, and is only "a drop in the
bucket as an Offset to what is likely to
be lost to the state:
MADISON, Wis, Aug. The Board
of State Deposits, created by the law
providing for the deposits of state
funds IN banks, and composed of the
governor, secratary of state. state trea-
surer and attorney-general, met this
afternoon to consider the question of
protection of state deposits in bar ks
which have since failed. The sums of
state money SO far tied up in this way
include $4,000 in the Mitchell bank,
$4,000 in the Milwaukee National, and
So 900 in the Commercial bank of Fan
Claire. The total amount of state
funds on deposit in banks is reported
as between 100000 and $4OO, 900 The
board decided to take legal steps to Sc
cure the funds in failed banks as soon
as they receive the notice ofthe states
claims in the several banks from the
receivers, and their action will be in
the direction of suits against the bonds
given as security for such deposits. out
side of and above the security of the
banks to all its depositors.
The situation is interesting to the
Democrats in recalling the plight some
OF them, and especially Honest John
Hummer" might now be in if be had
been permitted to follow custom and
deposit state funds in banks with re-
sponsibility for their safety resting on
the treasurer and his sureties, as it
formerly did, instead of upon the
state, as it does now.

Baltimore and Lehigh.

Baltimore Sun.
The Baltimore Forwarding and Railroad
Company, operating the Baltimore and Lee
high Railroad, has awarded to Messrs. Allison
Brothers, OF New York, the contracts for
broadening the gauge OF the Baltimore and
Lehigh to the standard width. The contracts
specify that the work must begin by April
and be completed by September l. The dis
lance is so miles and the cost is to be about
800, 900. A corps OF engineers have recently
gone over the road and made survey, and
everything is in condition to start the work
The road will be graded in many places, and
new ties will be put in over the entire road.
The old bridges will be replaced by new iron
ones The old frame trestles will also be re-
placed. Some of the deep cuts will be filled
in as much as possible. 1t is the intention to
reduce the sharp curves.
The Allison Brothers are now at work Oh
the Chicago drainage system, and they have
done other important work. They have been
in Baltimore for the past week, and Saturday
they made trip over the road, returning to
st. James Hotel in the evening. They will
bring their machinery and workmen to the
city at once.
The Forwarding Company received sixteen
bids for broadening the gauge, the most Of
which were from out-of-town firms. While
the work is going on the business of the line
will be carried on as usual and trains will run
on regular time.
Mr.. W. H. Crumpton, the general manager
of the road, left Baltimore last night for New
York, where he will to-day close the contracts
for equipping the road. The contracts will be
awarded to the New York Equipment Com
pany. They call for twelve new standard
gauge locomotives, two hundred freight cars,
fourteen passenger coaches, three combina-
ton passenger and baggage coaches and three
mail and baggage coaches. The carsand loco
motives will be of the latest designs. They
will lie finished by the lat OF September, when
it is hoped the road will be able to run Its first
standard-gauge train.

An OLD CASE ADJUDICATED.-In the cases
Of Boyce vs.. Simmons, &c, which have been
in litigation since 1865, the arbitrators, John
e. Rouse, \. Preston Gilbert and William ii.
Harlan, to whom the case was referred in
1887, on March oath filed their award giving
to the plaintiff, in one case, $4,000, and to
the defendant, In another case, $1,945, the
award to stand as of 1864. The arbitrators
left it to the decision of the court as to the
time from which interest should be comput-
ed.
These cases grew out of large transactions
in the coal business on Spesuria Island, where
Joseph NJ. Simmons and Thomas Briscoe
were agents for James Boyce. This firm was
dissolved and Herman Stump appointed re-
ceiver. Subsequently Simmons became the
agent Of Boyce, and continued as such until
1865. The legal difficulties then began. An
attachment was Issued by Boyce upon the
property of Simmons. This attachment was
dissolved upon the filing of bond for $24, 900
by Simmons, whose bondsmen were the late
George P. Whitaker and the late Robert X.
Vandiver.
Some questions of law not decided by the
arbitrators will go to the circuit court for
decision.
