The Peoria Road.

1.-THE sentiment Of the people Of this city
is very largely in favor Of the acceptance Of
Mr.. Cables proposition to extend the road

fact that they are opposed to the roads 60

the vote not to take stock in the road when
il was proposed to run it that way. We
have talked with q large number Of the
most influential business men and msnufae
turers Of Rock Island and have yet to learn
of any one whe Is in favor Of accepting Mr..
Cables proposition excepting himself and
the Argus
Now for the above reasons: 1st-It is
not "the only sure mode Of getting the road
built at sll." Such italicised opinions should
be taken for what they are worth, and per
haps for what they cost. We have it from
tho most undisputsd authority, that, II Ds-
venport and Rock Island had each taken
&5o, 900 stock as late - three months ago,
that srrangvmsnts could hare been made On
tho Jdrst of April. for the buildiss Of The road.

that il the road runs over Mr.. Cables line,
that the one road will give as much compe-

a. two roads would, both running through
rich coal regions, one to Coal Valley, aud
the other BY way of Moline. We know of
only one man who is shrewd enough to see IL.
In answer to the third and last reason, W
can say, granted. II can be done earlier
and without direct expense to the psope
But they will pay heavy in the end. As it
will give Mr.. Cabls controlling interest in
tho road, and most effsctuslly prevent au
competition in coal Or II not, if the road
be bought out with money" It will cost ~
much % to build by way Of Moline, route
that will produce double the railroad busi-
ness that the Coal Valley route viii o. can.

ADAMS EXPRESS OFFICE RoBBED.-
Adams Express Office was robbed last night
If about 5000 in money, belonging to the COM
nanv and silver watch, the property Of Mrs.
Rrawper, widow of the late baggage master on
the O., A. & NJ. R. r. The thief, or thieves,
obtained entrance into the cellar Of the build
inp through the CRATE opening in the pave
ment in front, and from thence, through the
batcbvay, into the Office. Mr.. J. T. Luckett,
freight clerk, was asleep in the office during
the time the robbery was committed, and from
his vest pocket, hanging at his bedside, the
watch, twenty dollars, and the key to the
drawer from which the rest Of the money was
stolen, were taken. The robbery was evidently
perpetrated by party or parties who were
familiar with the arrangements OF the office,
and was one of the most daring ever commit
ted in this city. A colored man named Ned
Horton from Iynchburg, formerly employed
as porter in the Office, but lately discharged
for incompetency, has been arrested, charged
with the robbery, and all the evidence, so far
elected in the case, points directly to him as
the guilty party.

dread of waking up each morning minus help.
Ard this state of things is peculiar to the
South. No other people on earth are thus an
noyed with the uncertainty Of servants. To
such an extent has the evil reached that neces-
sity will compel measures to be adopted to Sc
cure families from the annoyances and lncon-
veniences of worthless colored servants, engaged

CANAL News From conversations with ca
nal men it is learned that navigation from here
to Cumberland is now in as excellent condition
as was ever before known since the completion
of the canals to that point. The arrivals OF coal
boats have not been so numerous Tor the last
three or four days as Immediately after the COM
pletion of the repairs caused by the late break
in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, because the.
boats that formed the immense fleet that then
collected here have not had time to make re-
turn trip In short time, however, it is ex-
pected the lists of daily arrivals will equal, If
they do not exceed, the previous average. The
interruption to transportation on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad occurred during period
when the supply of coal at Baltimore was very
limited, and consumers and shippers in that
city are now receiving their supplies, via the
canals, through this port.
