He made confession and acknowl-
edged that he was one of the three
men but claimed to be innocent OF
firing the fatal shots that killed the
conductor. He described the move
ments nf the party prior TO and during
the shooting, and also fully de-
scribed O'Donnell, the fellow wounded
and now contucd in the Rhlnelander
Jail. Ills story, If it is true, and there
is no reason To- doubt it, fully establishes

MARRIED.

Miss Clara Hoppe, of this city, was
married Friday, July 25th, at Des
Moines, Ia, to VIM Matthias. The
marriage ceremony took place at the
parsonage of St. Johns Lutheran
church of that city and was performed
by the Rev DIR. Wirth.
The announcement of Miss Koppe's
marriage came as a surprise to her
many friends here, who were unaware
that she was contemplating such a
move. Clara, who has lived in WauSau
since infancy, is one of the best known
young ladies of the town, and especially
so in educational circles, for she was a
teacher in our public schools for quite
number of years She is most estim-
able lady and large circle of acquaint-
anees Join the PILoT in Wishing her a
lcns life of happiness and bliss In her
rev estate
With the gentleman of her choice we
are not acquainted, but he is said to be
an industrious young business man,
well and favorably known in Des
Moines.

MELON THIEVES.

For some time past local fruit dealers
have complained that invoices of water
melons received in the city have disap
peared before the cars were unloaded,
and their protests against such acts on
the part of light fingered individuals,
who had a tooth for such a luxury,
caused the police force to endeavor to
catch the guilty parties. On Friday
evening the ears in the railroad yards
were watched, and the result was that
two of the thieves were caught by Cap
tain German. At twelve o'clock that
night, when one of the sawmills closed
down for lunch, the captain saw six
men sally forth from the mill, and make
an onslaught on the pile of melons
stored in a car. When Mr.. German
came up to the car four of the fellows
took French leave and escaped, out the
names of the other two were taken
down and they were allowed to 60 back
to square matters with the owners of
the melons These fellows aeknowl
edged that on the night previous about
forty of the mill crew had selected for
themselves a nice melon, and that it
had been the custom, where the fruit
could not be gotten out of the ear, for
the men to reach through the Stats and
cut off slices to eat with their midnight
meal
If such acts had been confined to
boys of indescretionary age they might
be overlooked, but for men to engage
in such practices-well, we will not
express our opinion.

TANNeRY TO OPEN.

j. b. Hail. of Prentice, superin-
tendent of all the tanneries belonging
to the United States Leather Co., in this
section of Wisconsin, was in the city
the early part of last week looking
over the Wausau plant. When ques-
toned in regard to when the tannery
here would be ready for business, Mr..
Hall stated that the exact date was not
known, but there would not be much
further delay The company has been
having some machinery built in the
East and this has been expected to
arrive daily, and as soon as it does and
is placed in position the plant will be
started in operation. While there is
an abundance of tan bark in this sec
ton yet the company has, since it pur-
chased the Wausau plant, experienced
considerable difficulty in securing a
sufficient amount to warrant operating.
At the present time, however, the com
pany has piled in its yards large
supply, which, with that that has been
contracted for and which will be
brought in steadily from now on, will
be sufficient to keep the plant supplied
foc continual operation. Three car
loads of hides have already been
received and when in full operation the
tanners will have a capacity of $50
hides daily and will employ a great
many hands.

HAD NO LICENSE.

John Huber WIS arrested Friday
upon complaint of Frank Sell, charged
with selling liquor without license.
Both are residents of the town of Kron-
enwetter and both are Engaged in the
same business, that OF dispensing liq-
uid refreshments, Intoxicating and 9th
erwise Huber appeared before court
and plead not guilty to the offense and
was bound over for trial Monday in the
sum of 500, which was furnished by
Wausau parties. He admitted that
since July 1st, the date on which the
new town licenses went into effect, he
had been passing drinks over his bar to
his dry customers, but states that he
took no money in payment for same,
and therefore could not see where he
had violated the law, even if he did not
have license, which instrument he adj
mitted he was not the possessor of.
The law, however, reads otherwise,
and though man has paid his license
fee and sells liquors without having his
license posted in conspicuous place,
he is rs guilty of an offense against the
laws of the state as if he had never APP
piled for a license. A case of that ma
ture arose recently at Eigar and the
man implicated was heavily fined.
When Huber appeared in court for
trial yesterday the complaining witness
was not present, and in view of the fact
that he had deposited his money with
the town in good faith for town
license, he was let of by settling the
costs, which amounted to about Sl2

two young men were arraigned in court
Saturday afternoon on the charge of
stealing melons from car in the North
western yards. They furnished bond
of $500 to appear tomorrow in Judge
Clarke's court Should the charge be
sustained it may result seriously for the
young men, for breaking into car is
burglary and is punishable by term
in prison.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

During the present summer much
work has been done in the way OF
street improvements and much more
is contemplated This work, which
commenced year ago will perhaps be
carried on from year to year until Wau-
sau can boast of having the best streets
of any city of lis size in the state.
When streets are improved in the man
ner now beng carried on they are not
only cheaper "a the end but they inn
prove the looks Of a city, and can be
more easily kept clean than the old
streets of early construction.
This year the work already done, aud
which will be finished before fall, in the
way Of macadamiziDg and grading. is
as follows:
Sixth street, from Grant TO McIndoe:
graded, with crushed rock crown; two
blocks.
Franklin street from city limits to
Hoetlinger street, graded and rock
crown put on; two blocks.
Park street from Muenchow to Sum-
NIT graded, with rock crown; two and
one. half blocks.
Jefferson, from Third TO Fourth,
macadamized width of forty feet; one
block.
Fourth, from Forest to Scott, macad-
amiZed width of forty feet; four blocks;
uncompleted
Scott, from Fourth to Sixth, maead-
amizing width of twenty feet; two
blocks; uncompleted.
Franklin street, from Main to a
point midway between LaSalle and
Muenchow, macadamized width of
twenty feet; nine blocks; not yet COM
menced
Main street from Washington to
Fulton, maeadamized width Of twenty
feet; seven blocks; not yet commenced
This makes a total of about thirty
blocks, which will be improved during
the summer in such a way that here
after they will be permanent and say
ing to tax payers. There is about a
thousand feet of road to be built on
Grand avenue to connect with the
macadam being laid by the town of
Weston from the city limits to the
Schoiield bridge, but it is hardly prob
able that this work will be done the
present season The town of Weston
people will not have their road COM
plcted before the first of September,
and are given the use of the city road
roller free of charge; they paying for
the coal, the engineers wages, aud for
any repairs that may be needed while
il is in their use Thus between this
work and that of the city the road rol-
Ter is kept in continual use.
Some trouble has been experienced
at the city's stone crushing works of
late in securing enough rock to feed
the crusher The force employed in
quarry ing the rock on Clarkes island
has been unable to supply sufficient
amount, and during the low water men
have been employed in hauling rock
out of the river bed
All work done on the streets is exc
cuted in workman like manner. and
streets finished are substantial and
lasting. Nearly all of the work is done
under the personal supervision of the
mayor and Board of Public Works who
are to be given credit for their untiring
attention to the matter.
