The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1898-01-27

The storm of Saturday night came
near proving disastrous to some of the
boats lying below Eighth street bridge.
Since the extension of the south harUor
pier the braakwater is OF but little service
against storms from Dortherly points.
There was qGlte a sea IN the harbOr and
the steamer Hill broke loose about 2
O'Clock Sunday morning. Sire drew out
the pile to which her stern cable WAS at
tached. The Murphy had also line on
this pile The steamer Indiana had a
line on the same pile that the stern line
of the Hill WAS attached to. This line
also gave way and the Hill swung about
against the Indiana whose stern she
broke. Fortunately the line amidshps
held or she would have drifted into
the lake. Captain Andrews and his
wife were aboard at the time The Viii
liams winch has cargo Of wheat broke
her hawser and cables Both she and the
Hill were taken above the bridge. 1t took
some time to get the Murphy mOored
The Black Rock swayed a good deal but
did no damage. The John F. Eddy which
was in the Northwestern slip swayed
about considerably and had to be secured
with extra cables.
This proves the need of the extension
OF the breakwater on line parallel with
the south pier. Work should be begun
at once to secure favorable report from
the engineer In charge and to secure fav
orable action by Congress. When the
boats are fitted out in the spring the in
terests of the captains should be enlisted,
The O'Brlen trial was concluded
Thursday evening. The state took a
comparatively short time to present It's
side. 1t opened on Thursday morning and
all the testimony was in IN season to al
low arguments to be made the same day
The judge had charged the jury by $50
L. M. and they retired to the jury room.
They were directed to bring in a sealed
verdict if they agreed during the night
after 9 o'clock The first ballot was 8 for
insane and 4 for sane. But those believ-
ing the verdict should be sane were real
ly only three. The vote stood 9 to 3 un-
I'll 3 o'clock Friday morning, when all
agreed to a verdict of insanity.
OBrien nalifested no emotion when
the verdict was announced. Indeed he
took the whole trial with great imper
durability.
The defense made out very strong
case. Even the states witness acknowl-
edged that O'Brlen had of late acted
queer" Mary O'Brlen was Of rare value
to the attorneys for the defense in the
collection of evidence. Nothing bearing
upon the case escaped her interchangeable
industry. Very fortunately there is no
hard feeling existing between the two
families affected by the tragedy and the
trial inste ad of emblttering relations has
added to their quietude. There is hard
ly chance that O'Brien will ever return
to Maple Grove.
JUDGE Gibson entered an order on
Monday 20 mmiUting O'Brien to the Asy-
lum at Oshkosh. OBren was under the
impression that he was going to hospital
to receive treatment simply aud without
deprivation of liberty. He was taken to
the asylum GA Tuesday. His eyes gilt
tered when change of clothes was M 4de,
though he offered no opposition.

"We want to sell our bodies to the univer-
sity." Thus spoke young man and woman
to member Of the medical faculty of the
Iowa State university when the latter entered
his office one day last week, says the Iowa
City Republican. At the entrance of the doc
tor the young people sprang apart, for they
had evidently been wrapped in each others
embrace. The professor pressed questions
and learned that the couple lived in Musca-
tine, loved to distraction and were willing to
die together closely clasped, even as did the
unb1ppy hero and heroine of Sues immortal
Wandering Jew" The young woman needed
money to secure a divorce from an uploved
husband and the young man. who was to be
the succeeding spouse, lacked the necessary
funds to cover expenses. They decided, there
fore to raise money on their bodies Each
was ready to seek death as soon as the other
died end both were eager to turn their life
less forms over to science-in case science
paid in advance for the sacrifice
The professor told them that the c.. o. d.
principle was adopted by the unlversity's
anatomical experts and sent the unfortunate
couple to Judge Haddock. The venerable sec
retary was Glmcst overpowered by emotion
when the good looking, well dressed young
man of 20 and the cOmely tastefully attired
young woman of 20 made their proposition,
but no managed to calculate, I'VE can't pay
ill we get tho bodies" Much disappointed,
the couple went awly and when last seen
the young man was pawning his overcOat for
81. so to get money enough to secure passage
back to Muscatine.
The young people refused to reveal their
identity.

Huge olives.

Three immense passenger locomotives for
service in New Mexico, lately furnished for
the Southern Pacific railway, are reported as
having remarkable capacity for high speed
one of them capable of pulling at the rate OF
sixty miles agl hour on piece of level and
straight track no less than thirty-three Pull
man cars weighing forty tons each, such a
train being more than two-ffths of a mile
long. The siX-cOupled driving wheels of these
engines are each six feet in diameter, with
working steam pressure of 200 pounds to the
squaCo inch; tho cylinders are of the usual
simple type each Of twenty-ono inches
diameter, with piston stroke OF twenty
eight inches. All this gives tractive
force, or drawing power, of q, 400 pounds,
sufficient to haul tran lead OF 4,279 tons,
equal to about eghty-fve of the largest
loaded freight cars, at slow speed on level
track. The total weight of one of these
locomotives is seventy-fve tons. of which
fifty-eight rest on the six driving wheels, the
remaining seventeen being carried by the
four wheel truck in front. With these CON
ditions, and reckoning the bite or grip on
tho call at one-fourth the weight of the
drivers, there is adhesion OF fourteen and
one-half tons, or $4,000 pounds more than
the tractive force of the engine, thus leaving
a margin for wet weather and slirOery rails.

j. ID. Barnes, who has been a miner in
Alaska for eleven years, and who arrived in
San Francisco from the Klondike gold fields
on January 3, last met q brother at the
Palace hotel whom he had not seen nor heard
from in twenty years, says the San Francisco
Examiner. The brother is J. l.. Barnes, the
Redding newspaper man They were born in
Canada and some twenty years ago j. d.
Barnes left the parental roof to carve a
fortune for himself in the western states of
this country. IHs brother at that time was
a very young boy. The elder brother after
spending nine years on the coast went to
Alaska He met with Indifferent success
until the gold discoveries around Dawson
City occurred. He then came into possession
of some rich claims on El Dorado and Bo-
nanza creeks, along with several partners.
He came to this city last week for a vaca-
ton. expecting to return early in the spring.
His brother at Redding saw in the San Fran
cisco papers an account of Mr. Barnes ar
rival here and the statement that he was
born in Canada. This latter fact induced
him to come to this city to inquire if the
gentleman was not his long-lost brother. He
turned out to be such and now they are

collections of bounty, have beeu indicted by

OF the chief swindlers in this line are now

Mcintosh while in custody OF the officers
here, talked very freely concerning his

nothing else for living for the last twenty
years Tho records at the county court
house show that he has been well Qald for

records show that he was equally success
full in disposng of imported scalps in that
county, and the samo state OF facts are re-

Argument on the Demurrer Had and

Argument on the Demurrer Had ana
Matter Taken Under Advisement.
In the district court yesterday attorneys
for the city and the plaintiff urged the
demurrer filed by the city in the case of
c. c. Bump against the city asking the
court to annul the charter granted to the
Omaha and Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge
company. The demurrer asks the court to
dismiss the suit on the grounds that no
suit, and that it is against public policy
to allow one man to set up claim that
he represents the people and prosecute
suit that is meant to be an Interference
with the legal rights of the city and powers
OF the council to grant franchises for public
utilities. City Attorney Hazleton presented
a long list OF supreme court decisions sus-
tanning this contention, many of them of
very recent date. The court took the case
under advsement and will announce his
ruling within a few days. This is the case
that was started Immediately after the
mayor signed the motor company's fran
chse last September, but which did not
reach a hearing in the November term.
The attorneys for Bump in the last day
upon which new cases could be filed in
stituted a new suit in quo warranto which
will come up for hearing during the pres
ent term. The quo warranto proceedings
brings the action in the name of the state.
The question of ultra wires will figure
largely in the latter case, and the attor-
neys are preparing for a strong fight to
have the courts annul the ffty-year fran
chise granted by the council

made in the open. There are some dis
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. II men only knew II, these
sneaking diseases are more to be dreaded
than small -pox or yellow fever. The
sneaking disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood becomes
disordered and the BODY receives insutii-
cient or improper nutriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brain fag, and
debility, and very likely falls victim to
that dread destroyer, consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he is i'll danger.
