| President ABBOT, Vice President
Greenleaf, General Manager Whltcomb,
Chief Attorney Morris and Chief Engln-
eer lweedy arrived here on Monday eve
ming IN company with Mayor Torrison
| who was on his way home from Chicago.
They wishe1 to consult with people with
reference to dredging. The lateness OF
the hour made it difficult to see many
people. so only those who could be seen
without difficulty we're consulted.
The company wants to dock it's prop
erty clear up to the third railroad bridge
of the Wisconsin Central, that just at
the entrance of the deep cut, and wants
dredging done to that point. 1t soon
became evident that this was impossible
at present. The officers then 1pressed
a willingness to dock their property this
year to 60 extent within the means pos
sible. for the CITY to dredge, and this
seemed to meet the approval OF those
present.
1t seems the company has not suffi-
Gent warehouse room notwithst lnding
that the present warehouse is over 800
feet long. 1t was explained that consld
cradle of the summer business will be
from shipments sent here during the WIN
ter, and hence the need of more COM
now available is occupied and extensions
must be made to meet existing needs.
There is even possibility that the
new coal docks may be moved farther up
Then came the question of factories
1t was stated that the property up the
river was purchased for the express pur-
pose of locating factories on it and that
the owners would improve the first op-
portunlty offered to secure some indus
try which would be OF benefit to the city.
La the present depressed condition moth
Ing could be expected, But with facili-
tiles superior to those of other places
Manltowoc would be in position to take
the earliest advantage Of the revival. 1t
was intimated that some matters were
now pending which were Of vast interest |
to the city. Mr.. Abbot stated that the
work done by the Central was only q |
small part of what it purposed doing
The Central was now a Manltowoc instl-
tuition and had vital interest in the
progress of the city and would do all it
could to farther its interests. He intim-
ated there was surprise ID store for the
people OF Manltowoc in the way of i'm
provements.
Mr.. Whitcomb is always cautious but
a suggestion from him Is worth more
than promise from most men. He eau
toned those present not to take what
was said as a promise, because IN these
ance. He said the Central made no
promises when it sought entrance here,
but it did all, and more than WAS expect
ed Of it. 1t has the same purpose now,
but the same reserve as to guaranteeing
the future. Efforts we're being made to
build up industries and they would be
continued. But the cooperation OF the
city was quite essential.
Mr.. Morris discussed some features of
the business on hand and answered sever
al questions. The meeting was informal
but very harmonious all being intent
upon acting for the bes. interests OF the
city.
The gentlemen left Tuesday morning |
over he Central on their special car.

THERE is, perhaps, no city in the Unit
ed States where poor ara better cared for
than in ManitoWoc, The city does a
great deal in this line, but there is a grea1
deal of private charity extended. Then
there are the Ladies Aid Societies and
some church societies which are dong
splendid work in searching out the desti-
tute ana giving assistance. These wo-
men are lustifying the belief in woman q
sympathetic nature which ever prompts
her to relieve distress and which has Just
ly earned for her the title OF ministering
angel. 1t seems almost crime to i'm
pose upon this womanly impulse to do
good, but there are unworthy ones who
seek aid of them as matter of economy.

Mr.. MCQUEEN the superintendent of
construction of the elevator here, says
its equipment will be equal TO that
OF any elevator IL the country. It's
handling capacity is greatly in excess of
its storage capacity. Though it is built
for only 100000 1t has machinery equal
to elevators of two millions capacity.
This fact adds materially to the value of
the elevator as local institution.

WATCH CHAIN OF HUMAN BONES
Made in Libby Prison by a Member of
New York Regiment.

Fall River News:-Cyrus o. Thor
ton, a farmer living a few miles out
of Bolivar, has an odd watch chain.
1t is made of human bones. The chain
consists of eight links, each a trine
more than an inch long, connected by
plated rings. The chain is about ten
inches long, and has been highly
polished by years of wear and glistens
like ivory.
Thorton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va, in 1864. He was a member
of Company E, Fiftieth New York
engineers. A member of the Twenty
first New York Infantry made two
chains while confined in Libby Prison,
and on his release met Thorton and
sold him one chain for $50 in green
hacks. Thorton has forgotten the
makers name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and it
required eighteen months time to
carve out the chain. For many years
after he came home from the war
Thorton wore the chain every day,
but for several years he has worn it
only on Memorial Day and at Grand
Army reunions. Some of his neighbors
once laughed at the idea of the bones
being taken from human bodies and he
sent the chain to a surgeon, who ex-
8mined it and pronounced it to be hu-
man bones.
