AccrDEYTs--At Lowreys shaft, not far
from Porter's coal banks, Tuesday night,
about midnight, the foreman of the works
caught his coat sleeve in the cog wheel, and
ingattempting to extricate it his other arm
was drawn into the cogs and torn off Just
below the elbow. They run the works night
and day.
We learn these facts from Mr.. Samuel
Bowles, to whose house q messenger came,
at midnight, for his aid for the unfortunate
man. Mr. Bowles sent the man some NOR
phine and advised them to send for a sur
geon Immediately. He did not learn the
man 5 name.
We also learn, from Mr.. Bowles. that two
boys were cut shooting ducks, on Monday,
near Coaltown, on Rock River, and one OF
them accidently discharged his gun, shoot
ing the other boy through the arm. He was
a teamster for James Kay. 1t is thought
his arm can be saved

CoRRECTIoN.-In our notice of. the Isaiah
Osborne rape case we stated that he Served
in the army during the war, and is said to
have wife and six children living some
where in Wisconsin, The facts are that he
enlisted in Capt. Anderson's company, in
Moline. Co. X, 129th Ills. Vols.) and served
his full term of enlistment-three years.
He married girl named McClintock, at
Quincy, about the year 1858. When he
went to the war he had one child. When he
returned she had two children, and was liv-
ing with man in Quincy. She pretended
to have heard he was dead. She was poor
and he generously opened his purse, pro-
cured her clothes and necessaries, and in a
short time she stole all the money he had
and left him. He has no knowledge of her
present locality
We knew nothing about the matter for
which he Is prosecuted--but according tc
common report the principal witness is moi
wholly blameless in the matter.

MERCHANTS UNION EXPRESS CoNPANY-
From call issued by the executive commit

subscriptions we learn that the success Of
the enterprise is beyond their expectations.
They have bought considerable real estate
for the management of their business, have
already in operation over 500 offices, and
run their lines over $4,000 miles Of road
They propose to extend their territory rapid
", and state that every obstacle in their way
to success has been removed. We quote
from their circular:
Our company is no longer an experiment Mt
1t is an established success.
We have organized more miles of line
have more offices opened have a larger and
better outfit OF horses. wagons. safes and
other articles connected with the operative
branch of the company, and are doing more
business than any of the old express monop-
Iest; and when our stock scrip shall be IS

SOMETHING NEw-A KING AMONG SaoEMAK-
ERs.-We propose to show to the Mechanics
Of Rock Island and the surrounding towns,
Journsymen Shoemakers of Rock Island ::
About the time of the breaking out of the re-
bellion, jonrneymen shoemakers' wages were
so low they could scarce make living At
that time we were compelledto to form ourselves
| into Association, in order to raise our wa
ges. We were compelled to do that, and that
would-be King. Each time we were om2eiled
to ask for an advarce on our wages the would
be King kept US idle from two to three weeks,
60 that we could never realizsf anything from
the advance we would get, as he would always
cut down our wages when business was a little
dali
During all this time our wages were lower
than other mechanics We were Il half dol
lar or seventy five cents below carpenters
blacksmiths machinistS, and we generally
work from fourteen to sixteen hours, while
other mechanics work ten. -- ~
We have come down twenty-five per cent
on our wages, but this would.be King (Swan-
sonI is not satisfied with this; he says he will
not employ man who sticks up for his rights
or for his wages. On this account his men left
off work. But he was lncky enough to have
two men who were raised under such rule as
he would wish to exercise over all men, and
they remained with him. But we, American
people, aie not used to such rule and cannot
submit 60 it, We are therefore, compelled to
cali Swanson's "SCAB SHOP" as we shoemak-
ers term it; also any jour who works for this
shop when he can get employment in other
shops, our Association regards as "A SCAB."
In conclusion We express hope that this
man, Swanson, will, in future, do better bv
men in his employ, and act with more human
ity ant in accordance with the well known
rules Of the craft. The ASSOCIATION
