HrwaUKEZ, Wis., Dec. 4.—When tho contest for the property left by the decessed Koeeland 1t was generally given out not only that 4be family, in their determination to pravent tLe witsw sharivg in the filthy lucre, were actnated ¥y the higaest, purest feclings of rectitude and porelity, but that the widow—if she wasa wid- ov—was3 frnd of the worst kind. The cross- eamination, and the whole conduct of the cass fom the begioning to the) end, was such that fscouid deave no other 1mpression than tuat the woman who claimed to be widow was really the gadivoreed lawful wife of one or more men, st {he tize she married Knecland, if she ever did panyhim; and that the lutter marmisge, if it over did take place, was the result of a vile con- gpirecy beiween said woman and one of her hus- tasds o obtain Kneeland's property by forcing, o esjeling, or trap.ping Inm into o marriage cer- epons. A8 thecase went oo, & plsin, eimple, adivary marriage ceremony botween Xneeland sod this woman was proted; and it was proved, aleo, that if the two parties had been irregalac in ther past lives, they hoped and said opesly they desired to atone and lead better Jives iu the fucare, towards which this macrisge was the first and most proper step. It was tes- . tified by more than one, and in 8o many places that the point became somewhat coamspicuous, that Kneeland used to say be and Hattie were going to be happy now and were going to have & bspoy bome of ther own. They hved and bosrded s man and wife, were introduced to peoplo as msn and wife, and showed their mar- £ags certificate to those who bad known them emier other oircumelances to prove the past was ¢gooe, and & mewer, purer life intended. The funily bever recognized tbe, wife; she was quissly ignared during the funeral ceremony ana aferwards, and the family seem to have sup- pesed all they bad to do was to rroduce sa old will of Eneeland's, mads before his marriage, snd throw ont hints (not try to prove) that the wo- maa bad other busbands, and then quietly walk Isto the undisputed posseasion of the property. Fortunately, skillful and honest lawyers wers found who tock up the woman's czse. Sam ‘Howatd, late public prosecutor, and Rogers & Hovey, who carricd the matter through. com- “plated it, und left it, on Thursday, to the decis- ion of Jodge Mann, how much the widow was to got and bow much the famuls. Ioto that simple question gid it all resolve iteeifl al last. ~ END OF THE CORNER. The daily telegraphic dispatches to Tae Trs- uNE beve kept the readers poatad as to the prog- sess ad end of the corner in No. 2 wheat.

BECOMING METBOPOLITAX. ‘Two months ago there was not a city more muserably served, in respact of facilities of pas- senger transit, inside the limits of the United States than Milwaukee, We had only one city railroad, and tbat one fringed the outskirts of everything and pursued s tortuous course from porth to south, from one end of the city to the other, _in its very centre, and at the southern end suddenly twisted off west at 3 point where, if necessity called for anything, it called for & coatmustion dub sonth. All that has been altered. We have now three good lines, thorougbly equipped 1a evary way, well managed, well horsed, with ex- cellent cars. The route of the old line, referred to above, has been altered so s to iucresse its vatne not only o the proprietors but the public, and a new line is a0 _eatablished success on the East Side. On the West Sido the Spring sirest Toute was opeaed last Saturday, and is doing tha best businessof all. It runs from near the bridge to nesr the limits, straight north and south, an§ sccommodates a thickly-populated residence neighbornood. Another line is buud- ing. ana wiil be ready in a few days, from Erie street to Division street, along East Water street, which cannob fail ‘to be successful also. Experience has taught owners the best routes, snd they are usivg the knowledge to advastsge. EASY COME, EASY GO. This is trus of the wealth of the distillers and rectitiors. The savinye of a lifetime, 1a the cise of Moller, ex-Gauger, were swept away, in com- mon with all the easily-scquired gains of & whisky copnection, in a few moments. Inthe case of Bergenthal and Behluz, who started with nothing end suddenly became wealthy, thoy will probably land inside prison Do richer than when they commenced five years ago. The cases of the Rindshopfs have yet to e tried, and comment is inadmissivle ; but, leaving the ques- tion of guilt or innocence on one ede, it may fairly be sud that few men in this Siate accu- mulated money faster in the occupation of whisky-making than gid tbey. The Nunne- machers sre Northern Roths:bilds ; and Jake's millions wore all made within four or five vears. W are oriy on the threshotd of the history of the whisky business of Milwaukee, ABREST OF AN EDITOR. Mr. Brocker, editor of the new free-thinking paper, tho Socialisl, has slready gotten into trouble, having been arrested and held to baid in the suit of Bupervisor Wittig, for libel. The Bupervisor 18 Chairman of the Committes on Poor Department of tho county, and bas been subjected to many stiacks for his acts in that capacity, the most bitter of which was that of the Socialist, which charged the irascible Super- wvisor witls atl sorts of improorieties. Mr. Wittig eays he hius a clear case agmnst tha editor, and the latter scems 10 be perfectly confident that he can prove all he has said arainst the Super- visor, and mors too. all the parties are Ger- man-Americaus. A WAIT. ‘Thursday, the body of aa old man was found in the pobhic rordway, between Wauwatosa and the city lime, with marks about the head as thongh be had been beaten with a‘club or struck with 5topes. By him was a scanty satchel. Hao was apparently a homeless wanderer. He had called at Miller's brewery, faint and weary, and been given 2 glass of beer, aad went op his way cheered snd refresbed. That was the last seen of bim aiive. He had not been roboed. The affair is n singular oue, nnd it looks at present as though some person had beat bim to death in a roadside quarrel 0 ABOMINABLE.

P — RACINE. THE WEATHER ON THE LANE. BAcINE, Wis., Dec. 4.—The first savage growl of winter was heard last Mondsy. A cold north wind biew *‘great guns " all day, making naviga- tion & very undesirable calling. The cold was so intense that tbo spray from the waves was frozen intc enowy particles, which fell so thick as to render nndistinguishable cbjects at any distance on the lske. The reralt in this im- mediate vicinity was the foundering of one ves- gel, the Thomas O. Bireet, of Ontario, on the rocks st Bacine Point, and the complete bewil- dermeut of the crew of another, the Twin Sisters, in tow of the tug Hagerman. The Cap- tain of the tug ssye that his crew were demor- slized to such an extent that he conid do mnoth- ing with them. By the merest ohance he dlncpv- ered a tree on the - bank, through the driting snow, and was thus enabled to reach Racloe barbor. The propeller Merchant has almost dis- 2ppeared bencath the surface of tha lake, ooty & small portion of the stern beiog discernible, re- sembling somewhas & good-sized turtle, as scen from shore. . BOCIAL. The comments appearing in Tae TRIBUXE of last Sutday regardiug the social degeneracy of iho lass few 1onths has bad the desired effeot, sod those Good Samaritans whe led the dance of yore have endeavored to make ameads for their Tecent neglect. A eocial gathering took plsce at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Johoeon, on Chatbam gireet, on the svemog of the 23th. The guests wete Dot many, but the bilarity of all indicated that numbers had nothing to do with the enjoy- ment. The St. Luke's Parish Guld -insugurated their dancing sociables at the home of Mr. and Mre. Fred Wild Thursday evening last. These sociables used to be the most enjoyable parties we had during the winter season, but were abao- doned last year ai the snggestion of a few of the mors orthodox membere of the church, and entertainments of another nature eubstituted. The result of the change was & marked degle- tion of the church exchequer and consderabls disaatisfaction among the ycuoger members of tbe depcmination. Now t thay are revived again, it is to be hoped that social stagnation will seek a **cave of gloom " for the balanoe of the season.

AMNUSEMENTS. By far the pleasantest party during the pres- ent season was the regular fortnightly- meeting 1ast week of tha Socisl and Literary Club. Both the previons mestings had disclosed the fact thas the machinery was now and the workmen inexperienced. At the last meeting; however, everything seemea to be in good ranning order, and the excrcises, which were of an exceedinely interesting character, passed off without jar or accident. The programme was as forlows : First, mausic, & piano solo; seccnd, transaction of business; third, music, songs, * The Storm,” followed by * O Fair Dove! O Fond Dove;” fourth, essay, the subject being ‘‘Mouniains,” suggested to the writer by a summer apent in tne Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and the as- cent of Mount Liacoln ; fifth, piano solo, “Rigo- letto,” De Verdi; -mixth, obarade; seventh, musio, a doet, **Guarda Che Bianca Luna." The music wea all exceptionally fine. The first. piano sold was by Miss Bila Robb. This lady is a favorite with a large circle of mausio-loving friends. She plays with much expression and feeling, and her playing on this occasion was ful- Iyupto the standard of her previous efforts. ‘The two songs were beautifully rendered by a lady resident here. They were really the gems of the evening, and were received with great ap- plause. The esssy by JudEo Lee was listened to with iuterest, not only Decause of the novel cheracter of the subject, butin thas it was a tine specimen of word painting, such as one is pot often permitted to listen to. To people who bave spenc their lives amid tho never-ending monotony of prairie scenery it waa a relief and pleasurs to be carried into the mountains, if only for a brief hal{ bour, and in 1magnation, It 18 understood that what waa read to the Club is ouly = portion of 8 lecture which the author has prepared, and which be will deliver as occasion may offer. ‘The second piano solo wes by Miss KHittie Davis, and was universally admired. This lady is & careful and conscientious performer What cannot be said of all musiciaus, ber last performance is always the best. The uterary and musical exercises being concluded, the transition from grave to gay, from tbe sublime to the rigicnlons, was essily effected by the charade, in two acts. The interest culminated in the last et iu which tne fun grew fast sad furious. This was & burlesque coart scene, and it wAs successful beyond the expectstion of the ama- teur actors. Mr. Enowles succeeded sdmirably a8 Clerk. If the standard of excellency and ef- ficiency be consuited, it m3y be expected that he will be the next successful candidate for the Clerkshbip of tho Bnpreme Court. The role of prisoner wasa epacted by Ar. Janes, and how this ever-amiling and good-natured gentle- man could at short notice make such an ad- murable-looking vitlain was the czuse of much wonder and comment. Mr. Peony, as the ofi- cer, was s perfact succees, while Mr. Frank Moas and Mr. T. P. Robb, Jr., as the lawyers, succeeded admirably in eliciting from the wit- nesses oversthing but the true facts in the case, and in befogging the jury after the most approved fashion of practitiouers at the bars of other courts. The charsde was prepared by Mr. Moss, and ita succecsful performauvce was largely due to his management. The Club wero favored with the presence of several strangers, among whom were Mr. Harry Knott and sister, of Desplaines ; Mr. Chatles W. Lagh- er, Mr. C. A. Thayer, Mr. sod Mrs. Jones, Mr. Charles Boring and sister of Chicago, and Mrs. Watkins of Indians. The next mecting will be Leld at the residence of Mr. Swest, on Prospect avenue. The members are requested to bo present at 8 o'clock sharp. MISCELLANEOUS. Ars. Col.

Their original petition asked—in addition to that which they have already—a grant fo run snd oparate cars on Sixty-first street from Wentworth svenue to Stawart, and thence south to the Nor- mal School buildings.
