cided that during these services TO

the larger church for any Sunday eve
ming, its use and cordial cooperation
were offered.
Later-lt has been decided by the
brethren Of the M. +. Church to nc
ccpt the offer OF the Primitive Meth

Sale of the Gilmam Brewery.

Mr.. Charles Gilman has sold his
Brewery premises to Ballo Bructting,
Mr.. Bruetting has learned his pro-
fession in Bavaria, Germany, and was
brewmaster for years in one of
the large breweries At Stuttgart. In
April 1888 he was married to Miss
Wagner, of San Francisco, whose
parents were at the time temporarily
residing in Stuttgart Two months
later they all came to their home in
San Francisco. Mr.. Bruetting re-
manned about four years on the Pacific
coast: and from there he went to Mil
waukee and took position in the
Pabst brewery, until MIR. Blumer came
along and engaged him as foreman of
his brewery at Monroe. He held this
place for three years, and then went TO
New York, where he took course in
the Brewers Accademy the first
scientific station for the art of brew
ing in America. After completing his
studies he came to Wisconsin again,
and was employed as foreman of the
Henry Rahr Sons brewery, at Green
Bay, where he remained until lately.
Mr.. Gilman, after being in active
business for over As years l5 in
Highland and 30 years in Mineral
Point, now retires AS he has not
sold his residence and holds most of
his land yet, he will not be idlc-his
large garden and orchard will give
plenty to do. We are glad that he is
to remain with us, as he is held in
high regard, not only in Mineral
Point, but throughout southwest Wis
consin.

A NEW YORK SCANDAL.
Former City Officials of Brooklyn
Indicted by the Grand Jury.

NEW YORK, March 25.-In the
Kings County Criminal Court to-day
fourteen or fifteen indictments were
handed down by the Grand Jury
against former city officials and con-
tractors of Brooklyn
District Attorney Marean refuses to
make known the names of the persons
indicted until after they shall have
been arrested. 1t is alleged, however
that the indictments are the outcome
of an investigation that has been pro-
ceeding for some time into the opera
tions of the Public Works Department
of Brooklyn. 1t is also said that the
indictments charge a conspiracy by
which the city was defrauded of $50, =
O00 by means of fraudulent contracts
Theodore 3. Willis, former Commits
sioner of Public Works of Brooklyn
and William E. Phillips, Police Com
missioner of the greater city, are
among those indicted They appeared
before Judge Aspinwall in the Grim
inal Court and furnished bonds in So
coo each. Willis stated that he was
