One OF the most singular things in
railway history is the half secret survey
beng conducted by civil engineers be-
tween this place and Green Bay. The
survey seems to be thorough ons even
if it Is preliminary. The last reports are
to the effect that the engineers are now
within few miles of Green Bay. 1t has
taken considerable time to make this sur
vey from Cooperstown where the engin-
GERS we're few weeks ago. Two surveys
of this line were made some time ago. the
first when the Mil. Lake Shore & West
ern was built. The purpose then was to
extend the line to Green Bay and Mani
towoc county voted bonds to assist the
work. The bonds were never issued as
the line was abandoned. When the
Green Bay & Western was under con-
struction another survey to this city was
made, both practically following the
same line. The present survey Is Oh
identical lines.
The purchases made on the lake front
here seem to have nothing to do with
this new movement. Enough IS nov
known to make certain the purchases
are for the Wisconsin Central. The
Wisconsin Central people affect to know
nothing OF this survey in the direction Of
Green Bay and seem to be little curious
as to what it means
Officials of the Northwestern and OF the
st. Paul are positive IN their statements
that neither of these lines has anything
to do with this survey, The theory now
is that it is either the 800" or the Wis.
consln Il Michigan. The latter road
though small one is enterprlsing and
row runs car ferries from Peshtigo to
South Chicago. 1t may want lake out
let for winter use and may he looking
toward Manitowoc. 1t is known that
the $500 has been looking for an outlet
of this kind for some time. It is possible
that Two Rivers is the objective point,
though the condition OF the harbor there
VIII hardly justify this supposltlon. 1t
must be admitted however that dock ia
cilitles ID Manitowoc for new roads are
rather limited, unless the new line if such
1t be. makes use of the terminals now
here which are certainly ample for any
demand which may be made upon them
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1897-02-25

The statement that the purchases
made on the lake front are in the in
terests Of the Central needs little
modification. The parties interested
appear to be mainly those who are
connected with the Central SO far as
The Pilot has been able to leSrn. Some
OF the dock property purchased is not
for use IN connection with any rail
road in the near future, rs straws in
dictate. Nor is it likely that the Wis
consin Central as company will have
anything to DO with the lake front.
There is some room for the belief that
it is purchased as a general terminal
for lines desiring lake connections the
year round, and that the terminal will
be built, if built at all, by new cor
poration having no connection with
any present line. This is conjecture
on slight information, but only slight
information is obtainatie.
There is nothing to justify the be
lief that any improvement on the lake
front ana along the .oute through the
valley of the Little Manitowoc will be
made this year The matter Is more
speculative than real.

The supreme court handed down its
decision in the case of T. G. Shove on
Tuesday. The state won on every
point on which an appeal was taken,
quite victory for Messrs. Schmitz
and Chloupek as many prominent
lawyers expressed the belief that a
new trial would be ordered. The case
was tried at Oshkosh last March and
the jury brought in verdict of guilty.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court on certain points of law. The
duty of acting for the state then de-
volved upon Attorney General Mylrea
but Mr.. Schmitz also appeared, pre-
pared brief and made an argument
before the court The court did not
render its decision at the time the
other cases in the assignment were
decided and this was construed as
being favorable to the defense On
the second batch the decision comes
and it is an overwhelming victory for
the state.
The first trial of this case was at
Sheboygan and resulted in a disagree
ment. After repeated postponements
tbe case was set for trial at Oshkosh.
A stubborn fight resulted but con-
viction was secured. The appeal taken
was not the ordinary one, but was in
the nature of instructions to the trial
court. Lawyers are not agreed as to
whether further appeal is cut off by
the decision of the supreme court.
But there is practical agreement that
sentence will be pronounced.
Now that this trial is over, people
should reflect little as to their course
regarding it. Many criticisms were
offered on the lawyers prosecuting it
and it was charged repeatedly they
were not using the necessary vigor.
1t is much easier to find fault than to
do the work. The prosecution was
tireiess from the start. That the de-
PENDANT tried hard by all legal means
to escape conviction, IS only natural.
Who would not under similar circum-
stances? The outcome was delayed
by every meanshls lawyers could en-
ploy. This the prosecution had to
contend against steadily.
Another thing to be considered and
that is, the relatives of the man con-
victed have reason to regret the out
come. 1t is odious to abandon a rel
alive in distress no matter what his
faults. It is not virtue for them to
stand by him, but duty, No one
should be blamed for the performance
of duty. Sympathy for wife and chill
dren is the proper feeling at this time
But for recent act of one of Shove's
attorney, of which a certain portion
of blame, whether right or wrong, will
attach to Shove, sympathy for him
under the circumstances should not
be frowned upon.
