New CATHOLIC CmuRCM IN Rock ISLAND.
Contractors and house builders are re-
qucstcd to notice an advertisement in this
paper inviting proposals for the building Of
q new Catholic church in our sister city
Some three thousand dollars have already
been raised by the Catholics in that place,
and it is expected that the sum can be large
ly increased The intention is, to proceed
with the work just as fast as the money is
raised to pay for it, and that no debt shall,
under any circumstances, be contracted.
All Catholics, gentlemen or ladies, are
also requested to solicit, and collect, and pay
over to any Of the committee, or to the
pastor, any sums they can in aid of the
work
With united and vigorous effort on the
part Of all Catholics Of that city and vicini-
ty, it is confidently expected the house can
be enclosed and the floor laid this season,
leaving the inside work to be finished an
ther season.

DAVENPORT SAVINGS INSTITUTION
mong the things that prosper in our city is
the Savings Bank that was organized few
months ago. Though but in its earliest in
fancy it is no longer creeping, but walking
alone. The savings already foot up to the
handsome sum Of forty thousand dollars,
and the list Of dcpositors is steadily in
creasing. Despite Of the surcharge Of cur
rency the deposits are nearly all loaned out
At fair rate Of interest, on the most un-
questionable security.
Il is pleasure to observe the spirit sf
economy that this institution is encourag-
ing among the laboring classes and those Of
limited mean. Those who never saved their
money before are saving it now, and not
only saving, but they are getting > good rata

The ROBBERY CAsE.--This case which
occurred last Sunday will be remembered by
our readers, wherein man named Cart
wright, Of Brighton, Iowa, was robbed in
our streets Of $1,000 in cash. lie swore
out warrant next morning ard
Wallace were arrested; time for trial came
but Cartwright did not appear to prosecute.
Thereupon Marshal Pool went after the wit
ness-found him at his home, brought him
back, and the trial is going Oh at the time
Of writing. Cartwright says the reason
why he thus left was that after he had COM
menced suit, he started to 90 over TO Rock
Island to sec a friend to borrow some money
to last him while here. While standing
on the ferry dock, he says that man
came up to him and told him that
his life was in dangcr-that he had bet
ter leave town as soon as possible. lie was
afraid of consequences and rs soon as he
could borrow $500 he left for home. This
is the reason he gives why he did not ap-
pear and prosecute. The trial may make
some unpleasant Developments that will
secure the prisoners-or may make it un-
pleasant for Mr.. Cartwright. The case is
little mixed.
