IMPROVEMENT AT THE CLPIToL.-The water
mas been drawn of the fish pond Immediately
In front of the eastern portico of the Capitol
and workmen are now engaged IN laying a
new outlet and escape pipe from the pond to
the large sewer which passes through the west
capitol square. The new outlet and escape
pipe will be much larger than the old ones,
which were entirely too small TO carry off the
water and frequently became clogged up alto
gether.

half-past eight O'Clock. a eolored man, named
Peyton Mahonev, residing on 18th street be-
tween l. and III, was shot by his step-son,
William II. Frost, also colored, and Severely
wounded. 1t appears that Mahoney, who had
married Frost's mother, had had a quarrel
with and threatened To whip her, wher she
showed him out OF the door. Recovering him.
self, he started back into the house, when
his step-son drew a pistol and fired, the
contents lodging in the breast.
After being shot, Mahoney grappled with
Frost, threw him down, bit his thumb, and
was choking hun for q short while, when Off
GERS Skinner and King made their appearance:
but before they arrived on the ground, Frost 5
friends rescued him from Mahouey, and to-
gether they made their escape. The wounded
man was then taken into his house, where he

TIE SURVEY OF THE PEORIA & Rock Is.
the Peoria Transcript that no estimate of
the cost of the Peoria l. Rock Island road
has been made by the engineer provided
the road is built By way of Moline" The
published estimates were made on the roate
of Case's Creek and Devils Glen 20 this city.
He concludes as follows:
'sDuring the next week or ten days, we expect
TO run the route by Moline, ard then estimate
win be made of the cost of said route. | have
Just returned from the west end of our line, and
have spent three or four days at Moline, Camd en-
and Coal Valley. There is, at this time, great
deal Of feeling at that end of the route, and the
question now is whether will 60 by Moline or
by Coal Valley and Camden. After fullestimates
have been made on both those routes, we shall
then decide the route"
OF course the road viii go By way of Mo-
line-the people have decided they want it
that way, and it is said that that route will
give us competition in transportation, break
down all monopolies, and giTe us---cheap
| coal We don't see why there need be any
hesitation about the location, after the able
efforts OF the Rock Island, Davenport and
Moline committees, and after the recent
| vote in Rock Island.
Before our late election the Davenport
| Democrat said
"There are mon In this city Davenport who
| will take the assets Of the p. 4 RI. L. H., Is
| they now stand, and, in less than forty eight
hours, give satisfactory security for the building
| of the road, within reasonable time"
The assets are now 700 greater thar
when the above statement was made. Why
then should there be any doubt about which
way the people want the road OF course
it viii be located BY way Of Moline, for the
newspapers advocating that route have de
clared that the 40, 900 people of Davenport.
Rock Island and Moline will not patronizs
the road at all unless il is built by way o
Moline This with other important con
siderasions. and-cheap coal, viii fix tn,
matter. The directors can't hesitate about
the location, after these indications of tn
popular will. e

A PAINFUL AFFAIR.-A few days before
the recent republican county convention,
prominent candate for sheriff was pedestrian
ating through the woods on the bluff, on
little electioneering tour, when he was sud
denly assailed by family of five or six
skunks. Like the black troops, he fought
nobly, while the skunks adopted 1.-THE policy
of Great Britain in the revolutionary war,
as enumerated by Lord North-they "threw
into the struggle all the means which God
and nature had placed at their disposal
Theoretically speaking, the candidate came
out victorious, and strewed tLs ground with
the dead bodies of his savage adversaries,
but practically speaking, he was ''rather the
worse for the wear" Some neighbors, who,
like the horse, in job, scented the battle
from far off," FASTENED TO the spot, but
were soon driven hence. The candidate
suspended active operations that day, and
| at the convention was defeated, for the rea-
son, as is alleged, that whenever he ap.
preached delegate to button hole him, the
peculiar odor of the defunct skunks rose, like
| Banquo's ghost, and drove thedelegate away
before pledge could be extracted from him.
The candidate couldn't talk long enough to
secure any reliable support, and consequent
| ly was faxed out. The pain involved in
this unfortunate affair was more than ordin-
ery.

EDITOR OF THE ARGUs.--W ould it not be
well for the board OF trade, which meets to
night, to give q little attention to the Turke Y
Hollow road? 1t would not cost, probably,
over $4,000 TO build embankments high
above high water mark from the foot of Tur-
key Hollow across the Camden bottom, and
up by Maguire's distilery, and the paper
mill, TO Weyerhauser Il Denkman's mill.
Such an embankment, built wide and high,
solidly rip,rapped, and leaving sufficient
openings for the water, could probably be
completed, with the bridges, for $4,000 to
$l00, 1000 and it would be worth more to this
city than the Peoria railroad. 3 A8
From the foot of Turkey Hollow to Ma
gulre's distillery is certainly Q mile nearer
than from the same point TO Frysinger's dis.
tiuoy and from the foot of Turkey Hollow
to the business part Of this city is no further
than from the same point TO Camden Mills
oar business men can see the point, or
ought to. When Edgington, Buffalo Prai'
ne, Andalusia, and part of Bowling can
haul their grain and other produce TO Rock
Island, over good solid road, without going
q greater distance than Camden, they will
come here. If they can't do that we shall
not see grain enough hauled to this town TO
| feed the doves on, nor trade enough come
here to keep mouse alive. Bnt, place the
farmers, of the region named, as near Gnu,
city as Camden aud trade will fourish-not
before. What are the flour mills of Rock
Island to do for grain without this road !
Where ore our merchants to look for trade
without this road O. Where are our mechan
| les and manufacturers to look for business
That road would give an impetus to bust
| ness, in Rock Island never before known
| Without it look for dull times.

NATIONAL FUNERAL HoNoRs.--In obedi-
ence to an order from the war and navy de-
partments, national salute thirteen guns)
was fred to-day (Tuesday) at sunrise, at
Rock Island Arsenal, during the day a
gun every halfhour, and at sunset another
national salute, in respect to the memory OF
ex-President Buchanan. All unnecessary
labor was also suspended.
The same salutes were also fired at all mil
isary and naval posts throughout the United
States, where the general order had been re-
cieved. No especial day has been named
for this mark of respect, but each military
commander will cause the salute to be fired
on the day succeeding the reception of the
order. In come cases two months will
elspse before the order will be received and
complied with. Similar ssiutes viii also be
fired from all naval vessels, in whatever part
Of the world they may be, on the day after
the reception of the order.
