PoIICE.-For several days past, three sus'
picious looking individuals have been loaf.
ing about the city, having no apparent oc-
cupation, and acting in anything but an
open manner. They are dressed with de-
gree of responsibility and have the downcast
air of thimberiggers out of luck, or burglars
in the blues. They came here just prior TO
the burglaries, which have been Of such fire.
quent occurrence of late-and their actions
have drawn upon them the suspicious of ma
ny business men who have observed them,
as well as OF the police. They have made
several alterations in their beard and co
tune, since they have been here, and have
disguised themselves in various manners.
1t became known to the police that they
contemplated doing some work in their Pc
culiar line last night, and on rather extern
siye scale. At about midnight last night,
accordingly, hearing some little disturbance
in saloon, the City Marshal with officers
Wood and Condor, stepped in and arrested
these men. One of them drew pistol on
the marshal, but was straightway disarmed'
and all three were locked up. There was
found in their possession, besides the pistol,
a sealed express envelope, with $3.50 mark
ed upon it, and directed to q man by the
name of Otter in some town in Missouri.
That very interesting little device known as
the "ball game, carved ingeniously out of
wood, and designed for the delectation Of
that portion of the human species familiarly
| known as flats was also found on the per
son Of one of them. They were brought he.
fore Magistrate Highly this morning, charged
with yagrancy, and gave their names as
James Donaldy,W Wood and Chas Foster.
Foster, the man who drew the pistol,
asked that his hearing be deferred, as he
wished to procure witness from Daven-
port, to prove that he came down on a raft
yesterday. Wood, the man on whose per-
son the money was found, diseiaimed ell
knowledge of the rest of them and was
willing that his trial should be at once pro.
ceeded with. Donaldy, who seemed.be
sort of "Jaques Strap to the other more
Seuteel fellows, said "he could prove thathe
was no vagrant, that he was working
man or had been such up to eight days
ago" Foster wanted to procure lawyer,
and asked for delay on that account. The
hearing was accordingly deferred until this
afternoen. 1t is pity that these "twilight''
individuals had not been caught in some
criminal proceeding, as they viii be very
willing now to pay the fine for vagrancy,
and get off so cheap.

Mr.. Carson, manager of the Poor Farm, replies
or, rather, the editor of the ARGUS replies--to
the statement which recently appeared in the
Union, by lengthy communication in the ARGUS.
But Mr.. Carson does very silly thing
when he allows his signature to be used by the
editor of the ARGUs.--Rtm Union.
1t is utterly false that the editor of this
paper wrote one word of Mr.. Carson's com.
muncation, or dictated word Of it, or sug-
gested to Mr.. Carson or anybody else to
write anything in reply to the base political
attack upon Mr.. Carson and Mr.. Stod'
dard, by the Union. We did not deem the
silly squib in the Union worthy of any sort
of reply, nor did we know that any reply
would be made to it until Mr.. Carson hand
ed us the communication, just exactly as ii
appeared in the ARGUS. Not one word Of
it was written by us, nor was it prepared by
our suggestion or knowledge.

BUSINESS ENrERrRIsE.-LAst June there
came to this city two young men who were
formerly in Pittsburg engaged in the bust.
ness of making "pop,' bringing with them
their generators, bottling apparatus, and the
other machinery for the manufacture Of ef
feryescing drinks, as well as wagons, boxes,
horses, bottles, etc, and all the materials Of
the trade. They came to this place with a
view to establishing regular eastern soda
aud bottling establishment The trade at
that time was monopolized by single house
in Davenport, which supplied both sides of
the river with not very superior article,
and they at ouce built up trade not only in
this city but in Davenport which, all things
being considered, is creditable to their bust
ness tact and enterprise Harry Carse has
been brought up TO the business in Pitts.

ed in all that relates to pop. John A. Elder
keeps the books of the concern but also en-.
cages practically in the bottling department.
They are both young men, possessed Of the
elements of popularity, as they are polite,
liberal, joval fellows and in the short time
that they have been amongst us have not
only established the superiority Of their stock
in trade but have made numerous friends
amongst our citizens. They have fixed
their establishment, near the Rodman mills,
in the lower part of our city, and now man.
ufactre from five to six thousand bottles Of
soda water daily. Lemon, sarsaparila, and
raspberry syrups manufactured under the SUI
pervision ofMr. Carse, are the flavoring ma
terials used. The last viz: raspberry was a
novelty in the way of pop in this region, and
large quantities have been sold and consum-
ed this summer. They run three wagons
and the rapid and unexpected increase Of
their trade has made it necessary to send for
more bottles to Pittsburg. They are now
making preparations to 60 extensively into

summer warrants them in believing that they
