WATER WORKS

The meeting called last Monday to
hear the report of the committee APP
pointed to gather information con-
corning water-works, was we'll at
tended and the sentiment of the meet
ing seemed very largely in favor of Sc
curing if possible at reasonable cost, a
system of water-works. The )mmit-
tee was retained to make further in
vestigation into plans and specitica-
tions rs used by other cities From
information the committee could get,
they came to the conclusion that 500
900 would put in a system of water
works here that would afford fire pro-
lection and water To nineteen-twenti-
eths of Lancaster. Pumps, engines,
tanks, reservoirs, etc, could be Sc
cured and mains could be laid from the
excelsior factory to the Grand Hotel,
and from there to beyond the depot to
a stand-pipe. Mains could also be
laid from the road south of town run
ming to the cemetery. as far north as
A. c. Morse's ON that street. also from
the same road ON the south to the new
schoolhouse on main street. and mains
would also extend from the home of Il.
Meyer Jr.. west to Mrs Coolies, and
from the Grand Hotel west to Il. h.
Showalter's. This system of mains
with 1000 feet of hose would afford
all the protection the city would need,
and the whole would cost about 500

BIG FIRE AT MUSC0DA.
About Twenty Dwellings, a
Church and Town Hall
Burned.

Last Saturday Muscoda was visited
by a conhagration that has rendered
homeless about twenty families. The
fire caught at about two o'clock in a
barn in the northwestern part of the
town, where children were playing with
matches. A brisk wind was blowing
from the southwest, and at once carried
the sparks to the surrounding buildings
until about forty houses including some
of the finest residences were destroyed.
Help was called for from Boscobel,
Ayoca and Lone Rock, as there is no
water supply there. Boscobel sent sew
enty-five hremen with ladders and buck
cts. The fire was stopped by tearing
down intiammable property.
The total loss will be between $40, 900
and $4,000 with about $4,000 or S40.-
600 insurance. The losses are about as

WE are sick at heart when we read
of the awful destruction OF life and
property caused by the fires raging in
the great northern woods. Six towns
have been wholly destroyed in the
MINES ota pine belt and at least 400
people have persisted in the horrible
catastrophe Search parties sent out
are constantly finding ruined homes
and dead bodies, many OF them charred
so as to be wholly unacceptable. In
one instance 1874 of the unidentified
were buried in one great trench. The
calamity was awful IN the fullest sense
of the term, and such one as can
rarely happen. The woods have been
dried by months Of tierce sun heat,
and were as inilammab as finder
and the flames once started carried all
before them, cutting OF almost every
avenue of escape. The wind blew at
he rate of 60 miles an hour aud the
logs and trees, bali mile away from
the body of the fire, burst into DANES
from the intense heat In some of
the farming sections the soil itself has
had every particle Of vegetable matter
burnt out, and nothing remains but a
covering OF ashes. At Shell Lake, Wis
60 houses were burned at loss OF
100000 but the citizens escaped.
Other towns were I'D great danger when

are too much inclined to be "conserva-
tive" and TO proceed too slowly. When
the magnificent victory Of Democracy
was achieved at the polls 1t was expect
ed that the pledges Of the party would
at once be fulfilled. There has been
disappointment and even disgust that
the reforms have been so long delayed,
but the result will be a greater deter
mination than ever on the part Of prin-
ciple-loving Democrats to win. The
delay has brought them together, it has
taught them the necessity OF further
work if they wish complete triumph
for their principles aud the very cause
which Republicans hoped would be the
destruction Of the Democratic party has
done more TO strengthen it and to pre-
pare it for the fight next fall than any
thing else could have done.

RELIEF FROM ENTANGLING ALLIANCE


Senator Gray's Resolution Looking TO
the Dissolution of the Samoan Agree
ment.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. April ia
movement has been initiated 20 release
the United States from the entangling
alliance, as it was described by Presi-
dent Cleveland, into which it drifted as
a result of the troubles in Samoa, cui-
minatiiig in the treaty Of Berlin in 1889
by which the United States, Germany
and Great Britain undertook a joint
protectorate over the Samoan group.
The arrangement has never
worked well and each of the parties to
the treaty OF Berlin has shown dissat-
isfaction with its workings. The United
States in particular has been subjected
TO degree of annoyance and expense
that the present administration regards
as utterly disproportionate to the small
interests of American residents on the
Islands. We are az present paying
our pro rata share OF the expense OF
maintaining in exile on German ISL
and old Chief Mataafs and half
dozen OF his followers, and
our State department is harrassed
with an interminable correspondence
respecting small matters OF detail In
the Administration of the islands and
with the native feuds and fights with
which our Government can have no
proper concern; at least that is the Ad-
ministration view OF the matter, and
strongest OF all the objections is the
conviction that the present unsatisfac-
tory arrang ement is un-American and
opposed TO all our traditions. The
resolution introduced in the Senate a
few days ago by Senator Gray calling
for the correspondence relative to
Samoa was the initial step in the move
ment toward release from the tri-parte
agreement.

rirht At the lFtna-standard Min.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock,
there was savage fight at the new de-
partment of the Htna-Standard mill.
The name of one of the participants
could not be learned. This man, and
another named Mat Gray, a roller, had
some sort Of dispute over their work.
The man whose name is not known hit
GRAY two blows on the head with pair
of heavy iron tongs, knocking him
down. The men were separated and
the injured man carried from the works
and his injuries dressed. a telephone
message late last night from Etnaville
announced that Mr. Gray was not seri-
ously hurt.
