A settlement has been effected between
Burger Il Burger and the Terminal Co.
This settlement necessitates a change IN
the line. The route now runs little
farther north. The upper bridge will
cross the river little below the glue
factory, and SO as to touch the north )r-
ner of the drying room. Itbends around
from there to near the head of the dry
dock passing over the site of Burger &
Burgers Office, to point on the river
about $50 feet above that originally
planned. The lower bridge will cross
the river at right ingles to lot Y on the
eastern bank. From there it runs along
Commercial street to Block 173 where
the depot will be located.
Burger & Burger convey TO the Ter
minal Co lands which they hold on the
fiat east Of the river and right of way
through the dry dock property. They
receive IN exchange some property adj
joining the dry dock and some elsewhere
on the peninsula, which has river front
age. This will enable them to enlarge
their dock and their shipyard aud great
~ increase their business The settle
meut Is highly satisfactory 20 all the par
ties concerned and Is pleasing to the peo-
pie of the whole city who felt concern
lest injury should result to the dry dock
by reason of The proximity of the bridge.

Idea OF appearing to be defaulter The
finance committee had fixed Wednesday
morning for completing the settlement
with the treasurer for the last year. The
books had been examined and were a
model of accuracy and all that remained
undone was to count the cash. 1t was
while the committee was waiting for him
he shot himself. Just before, he had
been quite cheerful and had lunched
with some friends. He Went directly to
bis store opened his desk and walked out
to the woodshed, Soou after the report
OF the pistol was heard. An inquest was
held before Justice Falge and verdict OF

Mr.. and Mrs. 2. II. Hewitt are on their
way home from California. Mr.. Hewitt
has abandoned all hopes of recovery.
Should his fears be realized it will be an
uGtimeiy cutting eff of life full of
promise. Indeed, in the matter OF per-
Torrance 1t has been such that time has
been anticipated and the measure Of duty
is full. Manltowoc county has had no
man whose influence for good has been
greater than that OF Mr.. Hewitt, and it is
to be hoped that the conclusion of the
physicians will prove faulty.

ing the crew, was fatally injured by the
breaking of post to which a line from

The Joseph L. Hurd has been aban-
doned by her underwriters. The sink
ing of the Cayuga by the Hurd and her
own destruction as result of the COLI
sIop, cannot fail to call to mind the rumors
which were ahoat when the Magellan
was lost off Two Rivers Point some years
ago, with fearful loss Of life. The condition
of some of the bodies recovered led to
the belief that the Magellan was run
down. The Hurd came into this harbor
with her cargo shifted and many sns-
pected that she had soma connection
with the disaster.

FRED HAUKoHL, the city treasurer,
shot himself with a revolver yesterday
morning. The deed was committed in
| his woodsbed in the rear of his store.
| The bullet entered his head near the
right temple and passed through the
brain lodging near the opposite side of
the skull. What prompted him to thus
take his life was at once the general SUBJ
ject of inquiry. Being city treasurer ii
was inferred be was short IN his accounts.
He was extremely sensitive and could
not bear public reproach for any official
/ delinquency. Had he stated the slight
embarrassment in which he was involved
there would not have been the least
difficulty in adjusting the whole matter
and few would have known there was
any discrepancy in his accounts.
An examination of his accounts show
that he should have on hand 1853. 40

he had not cashed, but for what amount
was not definitely known.

The freight traffic over the road

have not now engines enough
to haul the freight which is accumu.

line. An immense number of cars
of pig iron are passing southwark
over the road daily, and the cattle

ing steadily. Freight traffic at all
way stations is unusually good, and
it is only matter of a very short
time when additional trains will be

Why Not

abolish our grand jury system in
this State, do away with it. 1t is
slow in action, makes many indict.
ments which lawyers and judges
know can never be sustained, and
fails to make many that should be
made. Besides it is expensive. We
are in favor of doing away with it
and vesting the Prosecuting Attor-
ney of our several counties with
authority to investigate all cases of
crime arising, and then if in his
opinion as such officer the case is
one that can be sustained in a court
of justice, write out presentment
to the Judge of their circuits that
they may be passed upon and cases
tried. Why not2 The Prosecuting
Attorney is a sworn officer of the
law and from his knowledge of the
law would in our opinion be the
better calculated toput it into execu-
tion.

Editor Register: Since the article
in last Saturdays issue, regarding
the meeting together of the white
and colored teachers in the weekly
teachers meetings, we have learned
that there was no effort to compel
or demand in the matter, on the
part of Profs. Bowers and Winget.
1t seems that the matter was sug-
gested to Prof. Bowers by an out
side party, that he laid the matter
before the teachers for their
opinion, and that Prof. Winget re-
piled that he had no objection. No
intention to injpre any one, or put
any one in a false light was pro-
posed by last Saturdays article.
If the facts were stated a little
strong no personal reflection was
intended. The only object was to
oppose the policy, if such a policy
was intended, regardless of who
ever may have been responsible for
it, and to acquaint the public of
the proposition and nothing more
