The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1895-08-10


CnlcAoo. Aug. s-The triangular
fight which has been going on for the
last three days between the Illinois
Central Railroad company, the steam
boat owners and the city resulted
Wednesday, after considerable excite
ment. ia an agreement by the railroad
company TO build Immediately tenn
porary viadnct across its tracks at Van
Buren, street and 10 permit the public
20 have free access 10 the lake at all
times The company also agrees 10
depress the tracks ~ feet but the
final arrangements cannot be made
until August CO. when President Fish,
who is now out Of the city, viii return.
The trouble originated in the en-
forccment Of an order by the city coun-
ell directing the Illinois Central Rail-
way company 10 remove the viaduct
erected during the worlds fair year
leading across their tracks at
Van Buren, street. The demoii-
ton Of the viaduct was begun
On Tuesday. At this point on the lake
front is the landing place Of large
number of excursion steamers whose

IF getting 10 or leaving the vessels.
The demolition of the viaduct made it
necessary for the people TO cross the
Illinois Central tracks. This the railway
company refused 10 allow. and a force OF
city and special policemen kept the
tracks cleared ON Tuesday, causing
much excitement and Inconvenience,
and several arrests
shortly after 4 o'clock p. m. Wednes-
day the excursion steamer Macatawa.
from Windsor Park, landed fifty pas
sengcrs at the Van Buren, street dock.
The special officers of the Illinois Cen
trial Railroad company refused to
allow them 10 cross the tracks and a
long train of freight ears was drawn
across the right OF way.
The Macatawa Immediately started
blowing her whistle and other boats
at the dock joined in, creating deaf
ening nproar. The noise speedily at
tractcd a crowd TO the lake front, at
least 10000 people coming in hot
haste from all directions in anticipa-
ton of a riot. The police were notified
of the gathering Of the crowd, and
Capt. Koch with two licutenants
and a squad Of police officers
was soon on the scene. lie
endeayored TO silence the boat
whistles and sent Lieut.. Preston on
board the Leslie. The captain of the
boat refused to stop the whistle, and
Lieut. Preston proceeded to ar
rest him. The captain seized
an AK TO defend himself, drove
the officers ashore, and immedi-
ately pulled ont into the lake.
The indescribablc din caused by the
footing of the whistles continued.
Each boat began firing up and the
smoke emitted choked and blinded the
officers, boatmen and the CONSTANT
~ increasing crowd Of spectators. The
worlSmen engaged in tearing down the
old viaduct, unable TO hear orders or
see their way about on the big struc-
ture, ceased work for the day.
After long parley between the
Illinois Central police, the city officials
and the Chicago police, the passengers
from the boat were allowed to land
and proceed along the tracks to Ran
dolph street where they were per-
mitted to reach street. When this
was done the boats ceased their whist
ling and further trouble was averted.

Japau's Learned Soldferx.

It appears that notebooks are quite common in the Japanese army among both soldiers and coolies. They keep regular diaries and take copious notes of everything they see. ''It is surpris- ing" writes war correspondent to the China Mail, ''what a lot they know about tic great west. Several of them talk intelliSently of Spartans and Per sians, Napoleon and his march to Mos COW and even compare tho abolition of feudalism in England and Japan. They fully understood all that is implied in the contest between old fashioned hand to hand warfare and modern long range mneuvers, and they speak scornfully of the Chinese tactics at Ping Yang in trying cavalry charges against massed bodies of riflemen without first using their machine guns, as the French at Waterloo did their ileldpieces, to throw the ranks in disorder. All this from the Japanese mt.t be surprising to Euro peans, because WIG do not know them. Their progress is greater and more real than foreigners imagine. "-London NaxuS

To Stop Sparrlnr In Boston.

The most notable feature of the last session of tho aldermen was the adop- tion of tho uldormanic rule that hereaft- er suspension of rule 90 can be secured only by a unanimous vote rpon roll cali Rule 30 is, "No license shall be granted for exhibitions of pugilism or wrestling. This means in effect that hereafter l-o licenses for sparring or wrestling can be secured except by a unanimous vote. The roll must be call ed, too, which will make the passage of an order or permit all the more diffi- cult. Notwithstanding the adoption of this rule no less than II petitions for sparring and wrestling permits were re- ceived. They were referred to the com mittee on licenses when appointed. - Boston Advertiser.

RECORD OF A TEXAS DESPERAoo.
The Graves of Ills Victims Were Scattered From Dodge City 10 Santa Tc.


 Tho man who told the story between the puffs of his cigar was from Texas.
 ''Clay Allison's lifo was a tragic TO- mance," he began. 'rIay Allison was U desperado. Hc lived in the Red river country in the Panhandle. His trigger finger was busiest in the early eighties. His record was 2l. He boastcd of it Twenty-one dead ,uen, whose graves were scattered from Dodge City to San ta Eel l myself saw him kill Bill Chunk, a bad mar. who shot people just for the fun of seeing them fall. The two men had no cause for quarrel. They were the prize killers of the saine sec tion of the country. It was spirit of rivalry which made them swear to shoot each other on sight. Their friends bet on tho result of their first chance rencounter. They met one night it crossroad inn in New Mexico and sat down at tables opposite each other, with their drawn six shooters resting on their laps beneath their napkins. A plate of oysters on the shell had just been set before Chunk, when ho dropped his hand in careless fashion and sent ball 
 a leap of lightning Allison's gun re- piled. A tiny red spot between Chunks eyes marked where the bullet entered. Tine dead man rolled over on the table and was still, with his face downward in the dish of oysters.
 "Allision was large cattle owner. He went on drive to Kansas City once, and while there fell ill love, mar ried and took the woman to his home ir the west to live. A child was born to them-a child whose face was as beau tiful as the face of cherub, but whose poor little body was horribly deformed. Allison loved the child with the great love of his passionate nature. In the babes twisted and misshapen form his superstitious mind read meaning as significant as that of the message which the divine hand wrote on the palace of the king of old in Babylon. God, he thought, had visited a curse upon him for his sins. He quit his wild ways. He drank no more. No man ever after the birth of his child fell before his deadly pistols He was completely changed.
 "In the new life which followed he devoted himself with absorbing energy to his business interests. He became cich in time. Ten thousand cattle on tho Texas ranges bore his brand. A few years ago he was driving from his ranch in a heavy road wagon to town. The front wheels jolted down into 8 deep rut. Allison was pitched headtore- most to tho ground. His neck was bro- ken. The team logged on into the dis tance and left him lying there dead and alone upon the prairie. "-Kansas City Times

A WOMAN HATER DiScOMFITEo.
He Had Reason to Repent Asking q Cues
 ton About Eve.


 There is crusty old bachelor on Fourth street who is a confirmed woman hater and who never misses an oppor- tuuity for saying something sarcastic and disagreeable about the fair sex. But he met more than his match the other day in a plucky little woman, who, metaphnrically speaking, wiped mp the earth with him, much to the de- light of his friends, who were greatly amused at his discontinue.
 The old bachelor inquired why, when Eve was manufactured of a spare rib, a servant wasn't made at the same time to wait on her. The little woman re- sponded promptly: Because Adam never read tho newspapers until the sun got down behind the palm trees, and then, stretching, yawned out, Isn't sup per most ready, my dear?' Not he He made tho fire and hung the kettle over it himself, I'll venture, and pulled the radishes, peeled the potatoes and did everything else he ought to do.
 ''He chopped the kindling, brought Tn the coal and did the chores himself, and he never brought home half dozen friends to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates.
 The llttie woman stopped moment for breath and went on with renewed vigor: And Adam never staid out till 12 o'clock at political meeting hurrahing for scme candidate and then scolding because poor Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates. He never played billiards, rolled tenpins and drove fast horses nor choscd Eve with cigar smoke.
 He never loafed around tho corner groceries and saloons while Eve was rocking little Cain's cradlo at home In short, he didn't think she was especial ly created for the purpose of waiting on him and wasn't under tho impression that it disgraced a man to tighten a wife's cares little. That's the reason chat Eve didn't need hired girl, and with it is the reason that her descend ants do. '"
 She drew another breath and was about to continue, when the bachelor pulled his hat down over hIs eyes and sneaked away amid the laughter of the crowd. Louisville Post

 You have not heard or read many ser mons during tho last few years. As you came in today everything was novel, and all the services are suggestive Of your early days. How sweet the open

AUGUSTA HORSES COMING.
Splendid Work by Them at Foxcroft Races
Three are Easy Winners.

Augusta horses at Foxcroft made a
record for themselves that We all should
be proud of. Il. B. Nickorson and II. H.
Lee sent two horses in the hands of the
we'll known trainer, W. f. Walker. On
the first day he landed Nettie W. second,
after starting in 10th position, in closely
contested four-heat race.
Thursday afternoon, Mr.. Walker held
the reins over Elizabeh N, owned by Mr..
Nickerson, in the 2.3S class. This was
the mares maiden race and she won 1t in
three straight heats, in $50 fiat, thus en-
terlng the charmed circle in her first race,
something that has not been done in many
years.
A perfectly green horse. in large field,
carrying off tho honors from horses from
all parts of northern Maine. We think
Mr.. Nickerson is to be congratulated on
this performance and the ownership of
such an animal.
Mystic Girl, Mr.. Parkman's mare, is
another good one, taking her race in three
straight heats; best time, 2.2724,
Three horses out of the five from Au.
gusta, will bring back money, two first
money and one second. Who says that
Augusta horses are not coming?
