From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done by the companies

FIRE.-About l O'clock, this (Monday)
morning, there was an alarm of fire from
Andrew Schneider's Cape Horn House, cor.
ner of Madison and Front streets, near the
railroad depot grounds. The fire originated
from an unsafe stove pipe, and soon commu-
nicated to the roof of the building. The
neighbors were promptly on hand with
buckets, and with ladder to reach it, they
would soon have extinguished it. The fire
bells were rung, but the fremen having
been fooled about a lost child the night
previous, were not quite as lively in getting
onthe ground as they otherwise would have
been. Add to this the obstruction of the levee
by coal cars, and several minutes were lost in
. getting water upon the fire but as soon as
the machines were at work, it was quelled.
The damage to the building is not large
not as much as to the furniture in moving
out and in again. Mr.. Schneider is insured
by R. J. Harvey, in the Western Phoenix,
Chicago, for 81 ,200-more than enough to
cover loss, if Harvey's agency is good for
anything. T.
Hugh Conwell, the next saloon west, was
washed out and his furniture and fixtures
badly damaged. He is insured for $500. by
Harvey, in the Chicago Firemen's Company.
The next saloon, owned by Francis FL.
scheibly, was also injured by water. Insured
by Shaw & Halves, for $1,000, in Farmers
and Merchants, Quincy. VI

prives him of any right to erect an Office and
FscAles at ~, but gives him simply y switch
from which he can sen dsa f@ ssn .ssas'
This, of course, is not in accordance with
the proposition made BY him and accepted
by the council, and he is, therefore, under
no obligation to accept it and he would be
justified in rejecting it and collecting
the full amount due him by the city,
and retaining possession of his pres
ent depot grounds. But, we hope he
will not take this course, but will accept the
ordinance as now adopted, and thus put an
end to the matter. -
Mr.. Cable has never received the gener-
Gus and liberal treatment frcm the city au-
thorities which he deserved. His generous
and unconditional present, to the people, of
$4,000 of their Indebtedness, and his nber-
al offers to settle the balance of the city in
debtedness, have been met by law suits com
meneed against him attempts to deprive
him of his rights by technicalities, and now
by an ordinance refusing him what hisSae-
cepted proposition calls for But still we
hope he will overlook all these things and
accept the present ordinance as fnality-
There is, among the great mass of the peo-
pie, a very kindly feeling towards Mr.. Cable,
feeling which does not ympathize with
any attempt to deprive him of his rights or
his just dues; and we hope he will overlook
all such attempts and now bring the whole
matter of city Indebtedness and depot
grounds to close
All he asks is a depot, somewhere on the
river front, and place to sell coal, in some
central part of the eity-that's all. The de-
pot grounds, by this ordinance, he will get !;
and we think The people will find it to their
interest, in the future, to grant him a place
to sell coal in some central part of the city
as much to their interest, in the mass, as
to his own. 81

CHILD LOST AN OUTRAGE UPON THE
PEopLE.-Saturday evening little daught,
er of Mr.. Elliott firm of Don Elliottl
about p years old, was missing, and about
l o'clock fire alarm was rung. Again, at
about o'clock, another fire alarm was
rung, and kept up for perhaps half an hour
or more, arousing a very large portion of the
people of Rock Island and Davenport. This
was an outrage for which the perpetrators
should be fined severely. The fire bell and
fire apparatus of this city was not purchased
for any other use than to aid in extinguish-
ing fires, and the marshal or policeman who
permit tito be used for any other purpose, or
permits any fire bell to be rung for any 9th
er purpose should be dismissed their office.
And the persons who ring the bell for any
other purpose should be severely fined.
The child was found next morning, at a
neighbor's house, where it had fallen asleep
in closet, in the evening, and remained
during the night, without the knowledge of
the people of the house.
