Grafton

The correspondent of the “Star” commenting on the speech which Supt. KUNNY madehere, strongly objects to what he said in regard to free text books. We must mostemphatically follow suit. Unless we are greatly mistaken, there is a law where parentscannot afford to buy school books for their children, that school boards should doso at the expense of the district, and this should cover it all. Of course, herein Grafton, we are used to being taxed every year a certain sum for “school picnics,”where school children, (and some of them rich parent's children) are in the habitof enjoying themselves at these picnics, at the expense of the district, and to besure, free text books would be no more out of the way than these school picnics.But by and by we might expect being taxed to give school children a pleasant rideto some summer resort at the expense of the district.

The ladies came in costumes of Ye Olden Times - and such a motleyarray! Really - did people dress so fearfully and wonderfully unbecoming? Costumesof but ten years back, which, at the time, were considered right up to date, lookedas though preserved a-la-the Commissary Dept. of the late war, since the time ofthe Ark. Elegant silk and satin brocade with sham skirts - polonaise effects in blacksilks and silk plushes, pompadour and shirred puffs; scant skirts and bustles - longshoulders, jet gimp, and basque waistes with coat tail effects - wedding gowns thatwere the envy of their schoolmates a few short years back looked as though evolvedfrom Pandora's box. And the jewelry! Shades of our forefathers - long gold pendantearrings, broad gold band necklaces, wide chain bracelets, showy large link watchchains and finger rings with low old fashioned settings. Coffois that would tax theingenuity of the devotees of the barber's art today, high back combs, chignons, andwaterfalls were the order of the evening. Then for variety, there were costumes fromother parts of the known world and the prize winner was one of these. A German peasantof Luxemburg - soft wool plaid short dress, woolen apron, real silk kerchief andwhite hand spun and knit stockings with the pantoffeln of the Fatherland; this costumewas worn by Mrs Nic PETERS and the prize was a pretty bound volume. These ladieshave kept each others birthdays ever since coming from school; but from January toJune is an interval with no anniversary, therefore they have something out of theordinary during these vacation months. The husbands of the several ladies are allowedto come in about ten o'clock and partake of a banquet prepared for them and escorttheir better halves home.

Fire Last Wednesday Night
Last Wednesday evening at about 11 o'clock, our citizens were aroused by blowingof factory whistles, fire and church bells, sounding the alarm of fire. The barnon the property belonging to Chas. Fred GROTH on the east end of the bridge at theWoolen Mills, and opposite their large warehouse, was found to be ablaze. The flameshad gained considerable headway before any person reached there. The families whohad leased the house adjoining the burning building were still asleep and were arousedby those who first reached the scene of the fire. The work of saving the householdgoods of both families was begun at once and only a portion had been removed whenthe house caught fire. The work, however was carried on and mostly all the goodswere saved. In the meantime the fire engine and hook and ladder company arrived. A line of hose was coupled on to the hydrant near the Woolen Mills and the pumpin their engine room set at work, throwing two streams of water on the burning buildings,and in a short time the fire was under control. The buildings were insured in theCedarburg Mutual Fire Ins. Co. for $600. The insurance company and proprietor haveagreed on a settlement of rebuilding the same, and contractor Albert KNUPPEL, whowas the lowest bidder, is already at work erecting them.

FIRE AT PT. WASHINGTON

That city suffers a heavy blow last Sunday night.
The plant of the Wis. Chair Co. entirely wiped out.
About forty families are left homeless.
Pipeman M. HACKETT loses his life.
Loss $400,000.

One of the most disastrous fires ever known in this county occurred in the cityof Port Washington last Sunday night, wiping out the entire large plant of the WisconsinChair Company, the foundry building of the Malleable & Gray Iron Co., a portionof the business block and a number of private residences. The fire broke out in the veneering room of the Chair factory at about 9 o'clock in the evening and whendiscovered by guests at The Wilson house, was only a small blaze in the interiorof the veneering room which they observed through the window. The alarm was promptlysounded, and a line of hose from the engine room of the Chair factory attached totheir pumps they soon had several streams playing on the burning building. Withthe assistance of the local fire department after several hours work it seemed asthough they had the fire under control, but then the three story brick building abovethe engine room caved in and thus cutting off the supply of water from that source. The fire department's engine also gave out and the fire got a fresh start, sweepingover to the north side. In the mean time aid had arrived from Milwaukee and Sheboygan,which had been telegraphed for by Mayor MUELLER, but as the facilities for unloadingtheir apparatus were lacking when they arrived at the depot, they lost considerabletime in building platforms for unloading, before they reached the scene of the fire. The entire plant was a mass of flames including a portion of the adjoining businessand private houses, and the firemen directed their attention to saving the city fromdestruction, which would have been the case but for the heroic work of the outsidefire departments. Everybody for blocks around was moving out, carrying householdgoods to neighbors, or storing them on the streets in the upper portion of the city. While the Milwaukee company was fighting the fire on Franklin street among the burningbusiness block, a chimney tumbled over from the Neuendorf building , striking twoof the firemen and injuring them seriously. A pipeman named HACKETT was struck in the head completely paralyzing his lower limbs, and Capt. LINEHAN received severebruises about the body. They were carried into The Wilson house and medical aidsummoned and the injured men were well provided for, but the case of HACKETT waspronounced fatal by the attending physicians, Drs. HARTWIG and HORNBOGEN of thatcity, and he died the following day in the hospital at Milwaukee, to which city theunfortunate men were taken by the first train in the morning. The condition of Capt.LINEHAN is said to be improving and he may recover from the shock.
At 2:30 o'clock the next morning, after six blocks had been wiped out, the fire wasunder control. The territory destroyed includes that portion bounded by Franklinstreet to the lake, a distance of two blocks, and from Pierce street to Wisconsinstreet, a distance of three blocks. Every business house in the east side of Franklinstreet, between Main and Wisconsin street, is in ashes, but the larger tannery ofMayor MUELLER on the opposite corner was saved. The fire did not reach the westside of Franklin street, but all the buildings, among them The Wilson hotel, hada close call. The loss of the chair factory is a serious blow to Port Washington,even if it is rebuilt it will take some time for the people to recover from the setback. A large portion of the population is dependent on it for a livelihood and the sixhundred employees besides being thrown out of employment, lost their tools. TheChair Co. is said to have carried an insurance of about ninety per cent, while theothers carried one-quarter to one-half insurance of their actual loss.
