GreII-Riebermann,

The marriage of well-known young
couple took place last Saturday even
ing, when John G.. Grell, of Johnson
Creek, and Miss Annie Biebermann,
of this city, were joined in the holy
bonds of wedlock by Rev. Geo. G..
Weiss, of the Congregational church.
The nuptials were cele brated in quiet
manner at the home of Gustavus May,
brother-in-law of the bride, only rela-
tives and few intimate friends wit
Messing the happy event. The bride
was attended by Miss Minnie Grell,
sister of the groom, and Miss Emily
Deubel, while Charles Biebermann, of
Chicago, stood up with the groom. At
ter the ceremony a wedding supper
was partaken of by the company, and
the newly married couple, laden with
congratulations and best wishes, de-
parted on the clock train for John
son Creek, to begin housekeeping at
once in the home previously furnished
by the groom.
Mr.. Grell is extensively known here
abouts as prosperous young business
man at Johnson Creek, being a mem
Der of the H. j. Grell Butter & Egg
company, and his friendsare legion. He
is in every way worthy of the amiable
young lady he has taken for his bride,
who has lived among us most of her
life and grown to be esteemed and be-
loved by all. 1t is the earnest desire
that life's journey to them may be
nothing but happiness and bliss.

THE DEAL HANGS FIRE.
The Council Refuses to Approve tn,
Wilson Contract


The Council Refuses to Approve the
Wilson Contract.
The awarding of the contract for the
additional sewerage seems to be in a
middle. The board of public works
had drawn up contract with r. J.
Wilson, of Milwaukee, to do the work
on his bid, 12,707. 43, although there
was one still lower than this. At the
meeting of the common council, held
last Thursday evening, the board hand
ed in the following report outlining it's
action:
To the Hon common council of the city of
WatertOwn:
Pursuant to the resolution adopted by your
Hon. body on the second day of October 1894
ordering the construction of certain sewers
therein described, we, the undersigned board of
public works of said city, hereby report as
First THAT we did advertise for. and re-
ceive bids to do the work SO ordered, having
first procured to be carefully prepared and put
on file in the Office of said board. plans and
specifications describing the work to be done
Second:-Lhat on the Goth day of October,
fixed for opening said bids, we did, at our
Office in the City hail. pursuant to our said ad-
vertisement open said bids and read and
publicly announce the same
Third THAT on the 9th day of October, 1884,
after careful investigation and deliberate con-
sideration, we did award and let the contract
to do said work to r. j. Wilson, of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, he being the lowest responsible
and reliable bidder therefor
Fourth Said contract was awarded to said
r. j. Wilson upon the conditions, that the
work shall be finished on or before the 1st day
of June, 1895, and that rock excavation shall
be done at the rate of 50. 90 per cubic yard
Dated October goth, 1894.
HARLOW PEAsE,
HENRY BIEBER
G. o. VIEBAHN.
BOARD of Public Works
The contract was laid before the coun-
Gil for approval. Alderman CRUDE
moved to adopt the report and approve
the contract, but the motion was lost
by the following vote: Ayes-Began,
Bramer, CRUDE, Meyer; noes-Born-
schein, DUNCAN, Eaton, Heck, Kessler,
Kruger, Sullivan, Woodland.
The aldermen, it appears, were not
satisfied why the bid of William Muir
ply, of Chicago, at ST. ,401.7S, was not
considered responsible one by the
board, and pending enlightenment on
the subject refused to ratify the boards
action. The whole matter thus be-
comes complicated, and our citizens
are beginning to wonder "where they
are at" and if the sewers are to be
built at all or not. This may also be
said of Mr.. Wilson, who supposed
everything would be all right for him
to go ahead with the work and had al
ready shipped three carloads of pipe
here and distributed it on the
streets. He was rather hasty,
however, in doing this, for the city
charter distinctly says (see Section
1861 that "the contract for sewersl
shall not be binding till the same shall
have been approved by the common
council and countersigned by the comp
troller." The outcome of the matter
is awaited with interest by all con-
cerned.

Tien Tsin, July 31.-A naval battle
v as fought yesterday between the Chin
ese and Japanese fleets. The Japanese
sank the Chinese warship Chen Yuen,
and two large cruisers supposed to be
vessels built by Armstrong for China,
were captured and destroyed. The Chen
Yuen was a battleship of 7.400 tons dis
placement, carrying IA 1-2 inch and
compound armor at the water line. Her
battery included four Pinch guns, pro-
tected by armored breastworks, and two
small Krupps, eleven Hotchkiss cannon.
and tubes for Whitehead torpedoes,
two 1-2 inch. and six 6-inch Krupps,
and secondary battery Of HotchlSss
revolving cannon. The Chen Yuen was
built for China at the Stettin Works.
She was sister ship of the Ling Yuen.
and the most powerful ship in the Chin
ese navy, with the exception of the
Ling Yuen.
The battle was hotly contested, but
the Japanese handled their guns, ships,
and torpedoes with more skill than the
Chinese. The Chinese fleet engaged
carried nearly thousand men, and a
large number are reported killed or
drowned. Later dispatches say that
few if any, of the Chinese engaged in
the battle escaped. Two German Off
GERS in command of the Chen Yuen are
reported to have met death with the
nraur
