TWO MEN BURNED.
Accident in the Japanning Depart

Bicycle Factory.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. q

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 20.
At 1870 o'clock this morning an ex-
plosion occurred in the japanning depart
ment Of the A. d. Meiselbach company,
manufacturers of bicycles at North Mil
waukee, by which one man was so badly
burned that it is feared he may lose his
eyesight and another was almost as seri-
ously injured.
The members of the company strenu-
ously denied that any explosion had oc-
Cured in their works, nowithstand-
ing that the report was sufficiently loud
to attract the attention of pedestrians
in the vicinity. The exact cause of the
explosion is mystery but it is presumed
that the hot japan came in too close
contact with fire and the benzine
which enters largely into the compost
ton of the stuff 1ared up and scorched
both men about the face. DR.. William
Meyer of this city was Immediately tele
phoned for and a resident physician at
North Milwaukee was called in. The
injuries of both men were dressed and
this afternoon their condition was report
ed as very favorable for recovery.

HAVE SECURED A JURY.
Sensational Testimony is Expected
to Be Introduced at the
Swanson Trial.

Oconto, Wis. Nov. 20-[Special1-
After the loss of two days time and the
issuing of two special venifes of fifty
men each, a jury in the Swanson murder
case was secured late yesterday after
noon.
Four physicians, Drs. O'Keefe and
Clapp from Menominee and Stoelting
and Atwood of this city, testified that
the bones found in the hollow stump
on Swanson's place were those of hui
man being. Mrs. David, with whom
Lescheck, the murdered man, boarded,
testified that the shirt button found
among the bones was one she had sewed
on the mans shirt, made recognizable
from peculiar marks. The case will
probably last the remainder of the week
The Prickett case will follow the
Swanson trial. Prickett, it is alleged,
gouged 2 mans eye out in 1892, broke
Jail, and had been at large until few
weeks ago, when he turned up and
was arrested for disorderly conduct.
The case of p. G. Murphy of Lake
Mills is also on the calendar. He is a
creamery man and conducted creamery
at Maple Valley. In an alteration with
Swede he pounded him numerically,
it is alleged, and the fellow was nearly
dead when rescued.

alarmed the nearest neighbor, who, on
entering, found the woman dead in a

three youngest children by forcing car

second wife of Hubert Johns, who, it
was supposed, committed suicide in June,
1898. She had six young children, their
ages ranging. from to ID years-Lulu,
the, eldest, George, Rose, Oscar, Willie
and Agnes. She is thought to have
been more or less insane, as events sub
sequent to the death of her husband have
all pointed that way.
On Thursday, November u, Mrs
Johns was arrested on a charge of shop
lifting, and her home was found filed
with AL sorts of stolen articles. She
was in Jail two days and was released
on her own recognizance and deposit of
money With the rOIlrt fine following Sat-
urday. Her trial was set for today,
and the jury had been chosen This
morning the case and jury were dis
missed in the municipal court.
The case of Johns VS.. the Northwest
ern Relief association, which has been in
the courts for the past three years and is
now pending on one of it's phases in the
Supreme court of the state, is one in
which Mrs. Johns was the principal
plaintiff, and which has been persistently
fought in her behalf. The suit was
brought to obtain the payment of life
insurance money on her husbands death.
1he contract of insurance stated that the
ASSOCIATION did not insure against sui
eide and payment was refused on that
ground, the Supreme court holding that
there was a clear case of suicide on the
part of Mr.. Johns, whose body had been
found in the cistern ct his residence The
present question before the Supreme
court is as to whether new trial should
be granted on affidavits of additional evil
dence found. The decision OF the court
IS expected to be handed down at the

Farmer Near Tornah Strikes a Vein While
Digging. tJ

Tomah, Wis, Nov. 20.-The discov-
cry of gold was made by August Moth,
ST., when digging we'll on his farm in
the hills seven miles from Tomah.
When down a distance of forty-fve feet
he struck vein of rock and on getting
through this he reached 3 vein of mould
ing sand. In this there were number
of yellow particles ranging in size from a
pin head to the size of a pea.
Mr.. Moth thought they were bits of
brass, and without thinking how they
came to be. so far under the surface he
paid no further attention to it.
About six months ago his son-in-law,
Boyd, paid him a visit fresh from the
gold fields of the West. In their con-
versation Mr.. Moth told his son-in-law
Of his finding the brass in the we'll
shaft. Boyd made an examination of
the sand that had been taken out of
the shaft and found in it evidences of
gold. He had some of the sand .assayed
and became convinced that he had the
richest placer mine he had ever seen.
Mr.. Boyd worked the vein for three
months and then came to this city for
the purpose of interesting others in the
mine. He has been here several weeks
organizing a company for the purpose of
developing the vein.

UNsAvoRY TESTIMONY.
Sensational Admissions in the Houston
Murder Case.

Wausau, Wis, Nov. 20.-ESpecial.] i
The afternoon of the Houston murder
case was consumed yesterday with the
croSs-eXamination of Emma Houston.
The sensation of the case was the admis-
sion by the court and the extraction
from the witness of the story of her i'm
moral relations with her own father, and
that she was compelled by her father,
with a revolver at her head, to submit
herself to the defendant, Lord. The
testimony today has been principally to
bring out the neighborhood quarrels in
which the deceased and the defendants
were concerned. 1t was developed that
Peter Houston, the dead man, had had
Lord arrested.
The testimony would indicate that the
particular section of Wood county in
tested by the parties to this case could
be fittingly called Darkest Wisconsin,
There is not only a Well-defined moral
bias to the characters of these people,
but they are densely ignorant as
is almost phenomenal. Henry Houston,
a man something above 81 years of age,
now married to the wife of Peter Hous-
ton. had no idea about distance, the
word rob being an unknown quantity to
him. His only way of designating dis
tances being mot very far mot great
ways" or quite a ways He could not
tell directions, did not know which side
of the road Lords house was ON, wheth-
er east or west, and when a map was
shown him he could not make anything
out of it because he could not read. He
could not tell on cross examination when
he was married

CRITICISED THE UNIONS.
Marinette Pastor Gets in Hot Water with
Workingmen.

Marinette, Wis. Nov 20.-[Special.l i
A sensation has been caused in this city
by the general exception taken by the
half-dozen labor unions here to utter
ances of Rev. J. l.. Countermine, pas
tor of the Pioneer Presbyterian church,
in regard to organized labor. A com
mittee containing a representative of
every labor union in the city will call on
the pastor and ask him to explain his
position.
The Objectionable statements were
made in a sermon of November and
during the past week secret action con-
demning the pastors position has been
taken by the several orders. A press
representative called on the pastor, who
is very outspoken and fearless, and OBJ
tanned the quotation from the sermon
that the union bodies take umbrage at.
Here it is: 1.-THE dangers to America
are many, one of which is that phase
of the foreign element that is unwilling
to comply with our form of govern
ment; second, trade unions that will not
let a man work for what he is willing"
Rev. Countermine states that he is not
an enemy of organized labor SO far as
its influence is confined to it's rightful
limits, but he objects to influence against
nonunion labor by banded societies.

MAY BUILD TO SUPERIOR.
ST. Paul Road Working Toward the Head
of the Lake.

Superior, Wis, Nov 2O.-The Chica go,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad has evil
IDENTIFY decided to build a line to the head
of the lake. A representative Of the legal
department arrived in the city yesterday
and almost Immediately began the work
of tracing the title to certain lands stu
ated in the Trans Nemadji which are
wanted for right of way and terminal
purposes. Three years ago the Milwau-
kee road acquired a large tract of land
in Allouez harbor, upon which it was an
nounced expensive improvements would
be made. Since that time there have
been rumors of different moves contem-
plated by this road until finally about six
months ago the people of Superior and
Duluth began to think that the scheme
was built out of whole cloth. Now,
however, there seems to be a disposition
on the part of the corporation to show
some activity in the matter, and it is
possible that the head of the lake is to
be favored by one of the greatest trunk
lines in the country.

WILD AMI MAILS NUMEROUS.
Dangers for Travellers in Northern Wis
consin After Dark.

West Superior Wis, Nov. 20.-[Spe-
cial. Wild animals are more numerous
in Northern Wisconsin this winter than
they have been before for years. 1t is
becoming no uncommon thing for the
settlers in the southern and more remote
portions of this county to kill black
bears, while the wildcats and lynx have
increased to such an extent that there is
really danger to the woodsman who hap
pens to be caught in the forest paths aft
er dark, unarmed.
Winter has set in early this year and
the wild animals are becoming holder
as the season advances. The wolves
always were plentiful and during the
fall months it was known that they
were abundant by the fact that the fires
drove them in packs of three and four
right to the outskirts of the city where
many were seen and a couple killed.
The state of Wisconsin pays bounty
upon the presentati ton of proof of the kill
ing of the wildcat. lynx or wolf, and yes
terday Gustave Peterson, a settler from
Lyman Lake, came to town to claim the
compensation on two lynxes and Wild
cat and to buy more ammunition

IT WILL HELP RIPON.
Chicago Man Anxious to Establish
Factory in that
CitV

Ripon, Wis, Nov. 2O-[Special.] i
Prominent business men of RiDon, gar
deners of the city and farmers of the
vicinity, the entire gathering numbering
about fifty, held meeting last evening
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of recon-
mending the establishment in this city
Of a factory for the canning of peas.
Chicago correspondence, under date of
November II, asking questions with re-
gard to the adaptability of the land to
the raising of peas and the probable in
cllnation of the producers, caused the
1aeeting. The unanimous sentiment Of
those present was toward encourage
ment.
Valuable opinions, based upon long eX-
perience with the soil in most instances,
were given to show that here it is just
of the sort upon which to raise this prod
uct. Chief among those testifying was
i. @. kellogg, president of the State
horticultural society. 1t was stated that
the soil here and the general lay of the
land was similar to that in the vicinity
of Manitowoc, which is considered one
of the best localities for the production
of peas in the United States.
Owing to the unusual dryness for
three seasons past the raising of black
berries in the large city gardens has be-
come almost an unpaying occupation,
and in many instances the bushes have
the most part be given over to the new
idea, should the industry locate here:
Three hundred acres, and upward, If need
be. would readily be devoted.
T.. G. Kellogg, chairman, Will Runals
and Hugo Schultz were appointed COM
mittee to present Ripon's claims to the
Chicagoan and invite him here to look
over the lay of the land. The factory
will employ from 200 to 500 hands dur
ing the canning season and the promoter
is a man of wide experience in the line.
