progress of the fire checked at once and before S o'clock there was hardly a spark to be seen In the meantime the body of the old man was seen on the floor of his living room the legs sprawled apart and bent by his sides an though trying to lift himself his position prone to the floor His clothes were entirely consumed and his back ed to cinder from the skull to the heels The back of the skull was so charred as to fallen apart leaving the cooked brain utterly bare The remains were taken away as derly us possible and Justice Green called a jury together to view them A coffin box was then Undoubtedly there were lively times at Mukwonago a week ago Monday night on the occasion of a church meeting of the Congregational Society but reports have been published that pervert the true facts And that of a Waukesha paper which said rious prominent people among them an etc took was especially perverted The truth of the matter is that two of the tees of the Mukwonago A E Perkins and Dr agreed Saturday night as to allowing the Republicans to hold a meeting in the Church and it was held under the wide-awake protest of the minister Rev Mr Brown a who refused to deliver up the key and the door was open in the presence of the Trustees it is said So much was occasioned however that of the Society was called to settle the difficulty At this meeting the two Trustees Mr Perkins and Dr Alexander the latter receding from his position of Saturday became involved in a dispute and finally if reports are true tho Doctor struck Mr Perkins in the face whereupon the latter did what most people would have done proceeded to pummel his enemy At this juncture Charles Clark a prohibitionist who was opposed to the use of the church by Republicans took hold of Mr Per- kins when che latter's son came to the rescue of his father and gave Mr Clark a severe whipping About this some very effective language was used by both men and women and all agree that it was not such an affair as would grace an v sort of a church It may be safely ded that the trouble was between and their democrat with Dr Alexander on the one side and Messrs Perkins and son on the other Prohibitionists had held ings there without and Mr Perkins was fully warranted in thinking that Republicans has as good a right The Freeman does not care to hold the idea of quarreling over such matters but from all the reports that have come in it is safe to say that Mr Perkins could not have gotten up such an everlasting row unless there had been a good deal of bad blood among the bevy of Democrats and who opposed him

for the night At the inquest the next day her mony was taken She denied having drank a drop during Monday and said Peter came home about dark drunk and bringing more whisky After some talk between her and him she suddenly discovered that there was fire in the room and was trying t-o take her trunk oat when she was dragged away by two men She did not remember noticing what Peter did after the fire There are tainly inaccuracies in this statement but the strong probability is that Callaghan struck a match for some purpose and threw it upon something inflammable enough to take fire and that in trying to extinguish the flames both parties fell to the floor and were unable to get up Mrs Callaghan was probably quite as husband to say the least as her Being rather nearer the door she was
