Our readers have not forgotten the
horrible brewery murder in Jamestown,
N. Y, on the 30th of August last, by
which German named Buchanan was
murdered in cold blood, and his body,
scarcely yet cold in death, thrust in
furnace and consumed. The attention
of the authorities was first called to the
terrible tragedy by Pole, named
Bodiniski, employed about the premises,
who charged the owner of the brewery,
Charles MARROW, with the crime. This
charge was strengthened by the fact
that the murdered man had been seen
frequently with NARROW within short
time,-hav1ng stayed at the brewery the
night of the murder,-apd was known
to have declared on more than one occa-
sion that he had a large sum of
money on his person. A subsequent
investigation of the furnace room
also revealed the fact that blood
was scattered over the floor and
walls, though it was evident that most
assiduous efforts had been made to wash
away the traces of guilt; while in the
ashes were found bits of bone, char
red flesh, buttons, etc., which left the
murdered mans identity beyond ques-
ton, and the conviction of Marlow
matter of mere legal form.


To the surprise of every one, however,
at the preliminary examination the
aged mother of NARROW took the stand,
and freely confessed to the crime, de-
failing with wonderful minuteness every
circumstance in transaction. The SEN
sation which this apparent confession
caused was of course great but subse-
quent testimony, together with that in
troduced at his regular trial, not only
fixed the old woman's story as de-
hberate falsehood, conceived and carried
out for the purpose of clearing her son,
but even resulted in the conviction of
Marlow himself.


The long and interesting trial closed
on Tuesday last, when the jury, after an
absence of three hours and half, re-
turned a verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree. The scene in the
courtroom during the rendering of the
verdict is described in the Jamestown
Daily Journal as most impressive. Mar
low exhibited no visible emotion, but
retained the same icy appearance which
has marked him through the entire
trial. His wife, who sat by him, at the
adjournment of the Court passed to the
side of the counsel of the prisoner and
burst into food of tears. On the
following morning the prisoner was
brought into Court, and sentenced to
be hung on the 29th day of March next.


While pronouncing the sentence the
prisoners wife sat near him, and neither
she nor the prisoner exhibited any ap-
parent concern. Many persons in the
audience were affected to tears, and
Judge Lamont pronounced the sem
tence with faltering voice.

DEAR GIRLS AND BOYS: want to tell
you of something very funny to do, if
you have a little brother or sister who
does not mind dressing up and standing
still for few moments. Ny aunt showed
me how to do it the other day, when
sister Nelly had birthday party. We
took little brother Tommy into the
library and stood him on high wooden
stool, and dressed him up very finely in
mammals clothes. The stool made him
SO high that the dress was of just the
right length. Then uncle Ned, telling
him to stand straight and firm, carried
him, stool and all, into the parlor. I
wish you could have heard the girls and
boys taught He had such a comical
look-with his tall body and little,
round face-just like some of those
French Parian figures. One little girl
handed him a fan, and then it was too
funny to see the tall lady fan herself
afectedly with her very small, dimpled
hands. All the boys and girls just
shouted, and somehow couldn't help
thinking that if the tall lady would lift
her dress just an inch, we'd see a pair
of feet as little as the hand.


Good-by. If we ever find out any
more comical performances for Tommy,
I'll let you know. ELSIE PLATT.

By a series of experiments it has been
conclusiv ely proven that fats and food
containing starch will recuperate wasted
muscular force or raise their power
faster than any other nourishment.


1t is gross mistake to indulge ex-
clusively or largely in a meat diet, with
an expectation of making oneself
stronger, since rice eaters, buckwheat
eaters, and those who subsist principally
on wheat or potatoes, endure severe de
mands upon their muscular force far
better than great meat consumers.

If real bear hal |. jumped ont, he
could not have made more confusion.
The old gentleman sprang to his feet,
smashing his hat over his eyes by strik
ing his head against the top of the
coach the Irish girl screamed "mur-
ther !" and tried to leap out of the win
dow; the fat woman tainted and drop
ped her baby; the little Frenchman
jumped up and down on his one leg till
he lost his balance and tumbled over !;
and poor Tommy clung with both hands
to the old gentleman;s pantaloons, and
screamed with all his might.


I cannot begin to describe what fol-
lowed, or record the questions with
which Tommy was assailed, in English,
Irish and French, to all of which he
could only say that his grandpa owned
Dolly and kept bears, and that he was a
bear himself when he went to sleep. Of
course there was nothing to do but take
the little bear to Ryetown and send him
back by Fridays coach. So he cried
himself to sleep that night in the Rye
town hotel, and early the next morning
was lifted into the yellow coach again.
ALI the way back the driver wondered
what he should do with the boy when
he got to Pearfeld but there was no
need of worrying about that, for every
body in town knew that he was lost,
and dozens of people were looking in
every direction. You can guess whether
anybody was glad when the little rum
away was set down at grandpa's gate,
umbrella, carpet-bag and all.


Grandma's eyes looked very red, and
her voice trembled when she said:

WE GIVE IT UP.--Last week the
JOURNAL had the audacity to claim the
late election in Vermont as a Republican
victory but we are now compelled to ex-
pose our ignorance of the proper manner
in which to figure election majorities.
We had always supposed that the increase
or decrease in majorites was counted
from the last previous election, and we
now tender our sincere thanks to the
Yreka Union Lu.trell's official organ)
for having informed us just how the Yer
mont election turned out. We don't
want to be selfish and therefore give our
readers the benefit of the Union'S figures {:


"OAicial returns from all but four towns
in Vermont, give n Republican majority
of 25,6lS. The total vote will exceed
$4,000, the largest ever cast in that State.
AT the State election before the last Pres
idential election, the total vote was 81, 6,2l2,
with a Republican majority of 1890.
The increase in the total vote is nearly
5000, and the Republican loss, 1,702."


We were also mistaken in regard to
Maine as the following, from the same
source, referring to the late election in
that State, will show:


''The present election shows a falling
off of from 1900 to 5000 in the Republic
an majority on full vote Of the State.
(Maine). We confess, the reduction of
Republican majority is not so great as we
had hoped to see. Still, as We stated last
week, we look confidently for a greater
detection from the Republican party in
the Middle and Western States than
could be hoped tor in the Eastern"

RAILROAD ITEMs.--From the Red
Bluff Sentinel of last week, we CLEAN the
following: SINCE the railroad station
was opened at Redding the average num-
Der of cars per day, loaded with merchan-
disc from below, consigned to northern
merchants, has been eight, besides a
large amount of material belonging to
the Railroad Company, which, with the
exception of the latter, has been tran
ferred at, and forwarded from, Red Bluff
station...... THE depot at Cottonwood will
be completed the latter part of next week.
The Company will appoint an agent for
that station as soon as it is finished, and
will also open a telegraph Office there.
Apparently they anticipate a lively busi-
nesss at that point..... THE freight house
at Redding is now completed, with the
exception of the freight and telegraph Of
flee, which is intended to be the finest on
this Division when finished. ......NoAH

was In the pay of the " Railroad and
that its course was dictated from the Of
fee of the Central Pacific Railroad. Now
the unvdTntshed truth is, that If the I'm
ion knoaOS anything at all about the mat
ter, ft kno1cs better. We say this without
fear of contradiction, and we know that
in this community our statements will
not be doubted, that We hare neUer, di-
3'ectty or Indirectly had any c0n1naunicd-
ton, oral or tC1'itten, lCith the Central
officers or employees, or any person or
persons authorized or assuming to be
authorized to act, or speak, or repre-
resent the Company, in regard to the
past, present or future course Of the
Journal. Furthermore, we have never
had any business relations with the Cen
tral Pacific, and have not travelled sin
gle mile in its cars. Still further, we
have never had any correspondence with
the Railroad at all except that we wrote
three years ago to A. n. Towne, Gen
eral Superintendent at Sacramento, sug-
gesting that it might accommodate the
people of Trinity county TO have their
time and fare tables advertised in the
JOURNAL. To our communication we
received curt response to the effect that
the Company were not thinking of ex-
tending their advertising but on the con-
trary were curtailing it. To sum up, we
say that we have never received single
dollar from the Central Pacific Railroad
Company in any way, shape, manner or
form, and that we have neither the hope
nor expectation of any favor or reward
from that quarter. We are neither to be
bullied by the Daily Sacramento I'm
ion " nor bribed by the Central Pacific,
and the " Union may just as we'll put
the fact in its pipe and smoke it. There
is short way to settle disputes with the
Union" That paper asserted that the
JOURNAL supported Gorham in 1867 as
the champion of the railway interest.
This assertion we characterized as false,





the Bidwel slate at that time for a share
in the State Printing. This the Union"
says is a falsehood, and unequivocaly
charges that the JOURNAL is in the pay
of the Central Pacific for the purpose of
weakening the Unions " influence. To
this we also give the lie direct and chal-
lenge the proof. Whatever mode the
" Union may propose to arrive at the
facts will be satisfactory to us, although
our preference is for the shortest and
most direct method. To be more spe-
cific about the State Printing, our in(or-
nation is to the effect that the " Union "
was to have one-fourth, and that one
fourth was estimated at about eighteen
thousand dollars. If the Union knows
anything about money paid to the Trim
ITY JOURNAL in behalf of the Central
Pacific, or any other Railroad company,
or any understanding as to the course of
the JOURNAL on railway matters that
has been had or exists, let it make the
facts known. In the event Of the Sacra-
mento Union" making default and
failing to make good the charges it has
made, we now deliberately brand that
paper as reckless, unscrupulous, and
malicious libeler of the Republican press
of this State in general and the TRINITY
JOURNAL in particular. In this contro-
versy we ask no quarter and intend to
give none.

FIRE YEsTRRDAY.-An alarm OF fire
given yesterday morning was caused by
the burning Of bed and furniture in a
two.story brick house in paper mill
alley, belonging to Mr.. Brewster and
occupied by Mr.. Flading, who works
in Dewey's mill. The fire originated
in one of the beds. The sheets had
been hung up in front of the fire to air.
and when the sheet was put back in Its
place by the girl who made the bed, it
was, it is supposed, on fire and unno-

got on the fire in just eight minutes after
the alarm was given. The fire was

FRIEND woFT.-I kave just been told
the following bear story, which | think
is reliable; Mr.. Cornelius Cool, a
celebrated hunter ot the State OF Web
ster, while out hunting week before
last, came in contact with large bear
which was about to get the better Of
his dogs. Mr.. c., alter emptying his
rifle at the bear, and seeing Bruln
with two of his best dogs down against
a log, politely stepped up and sliced
him with his hunting kuife-saved his
dogs, and didn't get hurt any himself
coming off more than conquerer 10
that fight. Being naturally OF a reck-
less and daring disposition, he con-
cluded last week to come into close
quarters with another bear. in which
he came very near losing his life. In
company with his brother John, he had
tracked a large bear into tree, where
it had taken up winter quarters. The
tree being a very large one, and not
wishing to cut it II they could scare the
bear out any other way, they tried
pounding the tree, but with no success.
They then felled another tree against
the one the bear occupied. That still
failing to move Bruin, our hunter con-
cluded 10 climb the tree they had ielled
against the one the bear was in. SO.
arming himself with a good revolver,
he went up without any difficulty; The
tree he went up having lodged close
where the bear had entered the other
tree, Mr.. c. soon had a peep into
Bruins den, finding him laying at
his ease. Mr. c. opened fire with
his revolver. A. soon Is the first
shot was fired, the bear started out OF
his hiding place, snoring mad, and
while it was getting ont OF the tree,
Cool fired tour shots into him, which
seemed to have no effect on Mr.. Bear,
who would in an instant had hold OF
Cool but for his brother on the ground,
who, seeing the position Of affairs, fired
on the bear with his rifle, giving him a
death shot, and no doubt saved the life
ofhis brother, as he would have fallen
over 100 feet had the bear seized him,
to say nothing about the hugging, bites
and scratches Bruin might have given
him.

NJ Editor: ! propose in this communication to
speak few words in behalf of the State of Wisconsin
County of Douglas and Town of Superior whether by
authority not it matters but little. Let US leave
for the time being the preservation of the magnificent
| harbor God has given to the of the State
where it properly belongs and see upon what founda-
tion this corner of the State stands.


The Superior and St. Croix railroad is being
built from Superior west to junction with the great
Northern Pacific railroad road of most magnificent
proportions and Importance. This S. & St. C. railroad
is owned onehalf by the County of Douglas and two
thirds of the her half by parties largely interested in
the property OF the County, hence is of the utmost
interest to al parties concerned make this road and
its stock vallable possible. Nothing will con-
tribute to this end than ample harbor and station
accommodations at the most accessible point the
entry to the h;rbor. To this end the Railroad Gem
pany is acquiring by concession and appropriation
about seventyseven of swamp lands, with the
riparian rights attaching thereto both sides of the
Nemadji river at its mouth This property is right at
the entrance tn harbor, and is capable of large
tension over the shoal waters of the Bay of Alloucs
and Superior.


AS lie empire 10 the west northwest anu soutH
comes developed, and pours in its vast productions
upon the extremity of this rema kable chain of inland
waters stretching half way to Liverpool the acquis
! tion Of these accommodations by the Railroad Com
pany, which Is but another name for the County Of
Douglas will be the strongest possible inducement fo
all roads approaching Superior from any direction tC
come in over the main line of the Countys road ol
State Line Branch and will thus tend to make the
stock valuable and the people from taxation


Hence it is the duty and interest of everybody inter
csted in the prosperity of Superior to do all they car
to further the efforts of the Railroad Company to ac
quire these lands, and the right of way to item
Everyone who throws a straw in the way Of this un
dertakng is blind to his own interests and the inter
ests Of Superior.

the State of Wisconsin the County of Douglas and th
Town of Superior bend all their energies to the i'm
provement Of all the great advantages that God ant
Nature has given them, and at the time be viii

Therefore when have such foes as these to con-

anything they may propose; nor can We safely treat
their projects when aimed to inure US with light
ness or indifference however absurd and preposterous
they may be. In view OF the as
gresei.s warfare which Minnesota has waged upon
Wisconsin interests Il we have some
curiosity to know how many times Wisconsin
will allow herself be slapped in the face by Mime
sota before she will spunk up and resent the insult


1t is not true that Duluth needs
any separate harbor The bay of Superior, which lies
right between Superior and Duluth, is capable of af
fordin the amplest harbor facilities for both places
But Dulnth does wish to common harbor
