The Effects of Bad Sewerage
One of the most serious results of the
rain storm is the injury done to Mr.
Horace TABER's new brick block, at
the corner of River and Greenbush
streets. About sixteen feet of the area
wall was torn away, and the cellar
flooded. The wall is 10 inch cemented
brick, and one of the very best in the
city; but nothing could have with-
stood the rush of the water as it poured
in angry torrents down the hill. A
large number of men are at work
pumping it out.
Accident to Mr. Sands
During the passage of the schooner A.
W. Luckey from this port to Manit-
owoc, last Tuesday, for repairs, Mr.
Louis SANDS, who recently purchased
this boat, was most seriously injured.
While walking across the deck of the
boat, he stepped upon a corner of a
loose hatch. He was precipitated into
the hold, striking on --keelson, the
hatch falling after ----injuring him
on the head. The real injuries we do
not know, but they are said to be very
serious. Mrs. SANDS started for Mani-
towoc Wednesday afternoon.
After Many Days
August 20, 1879, Mr. BAUMGARTNER,
of this city, sent $20 in a registered
letter to his wife at Sedan, Ind. The
postoffice in that city was burglarized,
and this letter, among other things,
was stolen. The matter was almost
forgotten, when, to Mr. BAUMGARTNER's
pleasant surprise, he received a letter
this week from the chief agent of the
department at Washington, notifying
him that his money was there, await-
ing his order. Tally one for the P.O.
Department.
To The Ladies
The INDEPENDENT desires all ladies
who are to receive calls on New Years'
Day to send us the time and place as
early as Tuesday, Dec. 23, as we desire
to publish a complete list of such.
Nothing can be more conducive to
pleasant social relations existing in a
community than the maintenance of
this old-time custom of New Years'
calls. Let the ladies respond quite
generally to this invitation, and New
Year will be one of the happiest times
of the year. If several intend receiv-
ing together, so state it, giving place
and hours.
A Manistee Man Constructs a Most
Remarkable and Useful Locomotive
"Manistee is a town of inventions. Our
city possesses some of the fine
st mechanical ability and inventive
genius in the State. Here we have
the inventors of shingle-machines,
siding-mills, refuse-burners, and
many other things, with reference
to the great lumber interests. But
one of the latest constructions in
the interest of the lumber business
is a locomotive for drawing logs. It
has been designed and built by Mr.
Frank Tuxworth, a thorough mechanic
and one of the finest engineers in
this section.
Tuesday afternoon was appointed
as a time when the locomotive would
be given a trial. A reporter of the
INDEPENDENT was notified of this
fact, and called to witness its
workings. It had been constructed
in the engine-room of Sands' gang
mill, from which place a track nearly
one hundred and fifty feet in length
had been built for experimental
purposes. Everything was in
readiness, and after a few moments
spent in getting up steam, the
shrill whistle of the locomotive was
blown, and several persons, including
the scribe, stepped aboard the engine.
Steam was turned on, and the engine
shot out of the mill and down the track
at a rapid rate.As the locomotive
approached the end of the track,
the engineer whistled "down brakes",
and the brakeman, who was at his
post, "turned them on," and the
wheels instantly ceased their
revolution, and the locomotive
slid along on the track several feet
before stopping. Indeed, the brake
is most perfect, and is original with
Mr. Tuxworth. He has also constructed
a very useful contrivance for supply-
ing the locomotive with water. It takes
the place of a pump, is much handier,
and saves labor and time. What is
known as an injector is also given the
place of a pump for forcing water into
the boiler. This is a very useful and
simple arrangement, and does away
with a heater.
The engine will be taken, this week,
about fourty miles up the Manistee
River, to Mr. Sands' railway, which is
about six miles in length and is laid
with Trail. Mr. Tuxworth says the loco-
motive will pull from 9,000 to
10,000 feet of logs very easily, and
can be run from ten to fifteen miles
an hour with safety.
Mr. Alfred Tuxworth, brother of the
inventor, will have charge of the
locomotive in the woods."

INCONSISTENCY.- The Independent at-
tempts to defend its support of DOVEL
upon the ground that the charges which
are made against Mr. DOVEL are of a
"private" character. It therefore assumes
that it is not in the provinece of a public
journal to touch a candidate's private
character. We would like to know how
the
Independent can make such a position
as that consistent with their treatment
of Louis E. MORRIS, whose private char-
acter the
Independent assailed even be-
fore the democratic convention met. Is
DOVEL's private character any more sacred
than MORRIS? and if so, why?

LIKE WESTERN LIFE
Good Report From Fred J. GREEN of
Calgary.
Fred J. GREEN arrived last evening
from Calgary to spend a week or more
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.H.
GREEN. Mr. GREEN moved to Calgary
three years ago, going into business
with George WOOD, also of Manistee.
He has not been back since, though
Mrs. GREEN spent some time here last
winter for the benefit of their son,
Varian's health.
GREEN and WOOD find many nice
things in their Canadian home. Mr.
GREEN says that Calgary has doubled
in population during his stay there. It
is a busy town with an excellent class
of people. The stores open at 8:30 and
close at 6:00. During the evenings,
which are very long in the summer, owing
to the high latitude, base ball games
are played. There is light enough to
play ball until ten o'clock.
GREEN and WOOD's business has pros-
pered even more than they hoped for,
and while they still look upon Manistee
as their home, they are well pleased
with their western venture.
WHAT CAN IT BE?
John HUNTER has invented and pat-
ented a new remedy for headache; the
stuff is called "whoopeyup," and John
says it is O.K., at least he thought so
a few evenings ago. For further par-
ticulars ask Charley TURNER, who is
selling it on a royalty only during cer-
tain days of each week.
