Fire Destroys Evidence.

Millville, Oct. "a. ~ George S. Ben.
net, a glass tank builder, has sued
Angelo Giuffra, wealthy candy and
glass manufacturer, of this city, for
the cost OF erecting glass tank at
Vineland. Guiffra's defence is that

tains the contrary, and as the factory
was ruined by fire, evidence on this
point was destroyed. Counsel and a
score of witnesses will fight the case

Common Council.

At the meeting of the common coun.
Gil Monday evening. Aid. Washburn was
absent on account of sickness.
Fire Chief House reported that Corun-
ma desired to use the fire engine. their
engine having been badly broken
at the Eveleth fire. A resolution grant
ing Corunna the privilege of using the
engine at any time, was passed. 1t was
also decided to pay $25 towards building
car for the transportation of the en-
gine over the street car line, Corunna to
pay the balance.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the street commissioner to fill and
gravel the lower end of Cass street from
Washington to Watson street. The
bills of Edgar Jewell and Edward Dye,
three and onehalf days for themselves
and teams as an auxiliary to transport
the engine while the water works plant

Easter Benefit Dorcas Home.

The Ladies of the Dorcas Society have
made arrangements to present to the
citizens Of Owosso an opportunity to as
sist them in placing some funds in the
Dorcas Home. A humorous lecture up
OH Crafts and the Art of Grating
will be given at the opera house Tues
day evening, April 5, by DR.. J. O. Par
ker. The effort is worthy one and de-
void of charity and from what we al
ready know of the doctors enthusiastic
use of words and power to portray, the
fifty minutes of how men and their
money are parted will certainly be en-
joyed and should be beneficial. As
citizens we cannot help but admire the
administration of the Board; their will.
ingness to undertake an entertainment
which earns them money instead of re-
ceiving help continuously, should
prompt every person to buy tickets
which will be on sale this week. Do

Disastrous Floods

During the past week the most disas-
trous floods which have ever visited
this city have been much in evidence.
The river became so high Friday because
of heavy rains that the water works
pumping plant was closed down, water
getting beneath the arches. The river
did not go down sufficiently to start the
fires until ten o'clock Sunday morning.
The whole eastern part of the town
was flooded, Comstock, Detroit, and
Dickerson streets and Jerome avenue,
as well as Shiawassee and River streets
farther west, being under water. The
Oak street foot bridge was toppled from
its abutmeuts, and the Main street
bridge by the pressure Of ice and drift
wood was in serious danger.
L E. Woodland lost score of cords of
wood which had been piled too near the
river near Main street, and there were
other small losses
Floods at Bannister kept the Ann Ar
Dor from getting north of that place.
High water at Laingsburg, on the south
and at St Charles on the north kept a
Michigan Central passenger train here
for a week All trains on this branch of
the line were cancelled during the week
The Grand Trunk trains for several
days got no further west than Ovid on
account of washout
Half of the Shiawassee town dam
went out Sunday evening, and as re-
suit the electric plant which furnishes
light for Corunna is compelled to use
steam.
Postmasters Teller, of Henderson,
Evarts, of Chesaning, and Shaw, of
Bennington, were in the city the first of
the week one or more times to get the
mail for their respective Offices which
had accumulated here owing to the fact
that no trains were running over the
Mich. Central. They also brought with
them a large amount of outgoing mail.
On Tuesday the Central ran a freight
one car and the caboose-as far north as
Chesaning, taking and returning mails.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you
could find way to shave your custom
ers in less time, for less cost, and make
the shave last twice or three times as
long.
You wouldn't shave the same person
so many times, or get so much of his
money, but the whole town would be
talking about you, and everybody would
come to you for shave.

Takes fewer gallons to paint house

Connect owosso and Saginaw.

1t is not fully understood by the peo-
pie of Saginaw that the syndicate back
of the project to construct an electric
road from Saginaw to Owosso, intends
to continue the line east from Saginaw
to Caro-, yet such is the fact, and all of
the plans of the syndicate are to that
end. That is the reason the people pro-
noting the project. and who claim to
have contracts signed to build the road
if the franchise rights in the city can be
secured, desire franchise on johnson
street, it being the purpose of the
syndicate to have the road cross the
river at Johnson street and run east on
that street as near line as conditions
will permit to Caro-. 1t is likely that
Reese and other towns between Saginaw
and Caro- would be taken in.
The promoters have men at work now
between Saginaw and Owosso securing
the right of way, and claim the work,
of construction will begin as soon as the
franchise can be obtained
The distance to Owosso is about 30
miles the route the road is to take from
Saginaw, and to Caro- approximately 80
miles. Saginaw Courier Herald

idea is PREPOSTEROUS"
Barry's Recommendation Anent Color
ed Troops Draws the Fire
of Savannah Mayor:

The recommendation of General Bar
ry. commanding the department of the
gulf, in his annual report, that negroes
he enlisted in the artillery and compa-
MES then be assigned to the seacoast
forts from Virginia to the gulf, instead
of white companies, has aroused unta-
vorable comment in Savannah.
If General Barry's recommendations
were carried out, Fort Screyen would
be included in the scheme and negro
soldiers stationed there.
Mayor Myers is outspoken in his de-
nunciation Of the scheme, and stated
that he would write the senator's and
congressman from Georgia, asking
them to oppose it. Mayor Myers said:
This thing as preposterous. Gen
eral Barry is certainly not posted
when he says that by reason of mos
quitoes, bad water. etcetera, the south
ern forts are undesirable.
There are no mere mosquitoes at
Fort Screven than there are on the
Jersey or New York coasts. The water
Is of the very best. We certainly would
not make a pleasure resort out of a
place SO undesirable.
ITO place negroes in the fort at Ty-
bee would ruin our resort.
Il think the whole south ought to
take up the fight against quartering
negro soldiers at our forts. l shall
write our senator's and congressman
concerning the matter, and have them
watch out for the report when it
comes before congress. There will be
a determined fight made on the adop-
ton of the report, if have anything
to do with it,"

JAPS FIGHT IN VAIN.
StoesseI Wires Gar of Futile and
Fatal Attacks of Mikado's TroPs
at Port Arthur

A st. Petersburg special, under date
of October 5th, says: Emperor Nicho-
las has at last received General Stoes-
sells officials report of the desperate
four days assault of the besiegers
upon Port Arthur from September 10
to September rs, from which it ap-
pears that the unoT.cia: report from
Chefoo was by no means exaggerated,
The Japanese displayed fTenzled
bravery, but they lost 10000 men, end
their only escape was the capture OF
two redoubts guarding the water
works. They prepared for the assault
by a general bombardment anG hen
launched their attacks simultaneously
from the north and west. Night and
day they fought under cover OF con-
tinual bombardment from then siege
guns and finally reached udG redouots
on the north side, but Only after iho
dsfenses there were completely demo'-
ished by shell fire from the west.
The japanese efforts were directed
chiefly agains THE commanding posi-
ton on High mountain, which faces
Pigeon bay, slightly sonth of Fort Else.
The mountain is 500 feet high, and if
it had fallen its possession would have
given the japanese a tremendous ever
against the chain Of inne" d"tenses
The carnage there was terrible and
eliminated Septembe' 81 Wien the
Japanese succeeded in reaching and
occupying the Russian armored shell
ter-trenches, from which they expect,
ed about the next day TO storm the
summit. During the night Lieutenant
Poggorsky, of the navy, at the head
of a detachment of volunteers descend
ed upon the trenches and blew their
up with pyroxlin bombs, producing
panic among the besiegers, who fed
leaving the mountainside strewn with
dead.

PEABODY CALLS FOR CASH.
Issues Appeal to Democrats OF the
Country for Campaign Funds.

Issues Appeal to Democrats OF the
Country for Campaign Funds.
George Foster Peabody treasurer OF
the democratic national committee,
has issued an appeal for contributions
for the campaign fund. The appeal
says:
There are about 100000 legal
voters in this country, and to inteIli-
gently present the issues of the cam
paign and the records of the candi-
dates to this vast electorate requires a
very large sum of money.
"The democratic party has no indus
trial favorites from whom, either by
promises or by threats, it can draw
campaign subscriptions; but must rely
for necessary funds upon patriotic citi-,
zens who believe in a government OF
law under the constitution honestly
and economically administered.
From all such citizens, I request
such contributions as they are able
and willing to make, for which prompt
personal acknowledgment will be
sent"
