MECHANICS HohEs.-P. l.. Mitchell, who
advertised some time since IS cheap lots
for sale, chiefly in the lower part of the city,
has disposed of "a of them at prices averag.
ing $3.50. Mechanics and laboring men
have mainly been the purchasers, and small
houses will be erected on nearly eli of them
this season. They are mossly 40 feet front
by $50 depth, which furnishes ample yard
room to plant flowers and adorn the exteri
or with refining home like surroundings
This indicates an exceedingly healthy con
dition OF things. Rock Island is acquiring
new impetus in its onward course, by the
establishment of manufactures, and iAoorins
men sure of obtaining employment, are
building themselves permanent homes In
n;ast No more desirable citizens
,o,1a he secured for the future masufsctur
ing metropolis of the Wet. Mr. Mitchell
has remaining, about 40 more lots as we'll 10.
Gated as those already sold, ell of which he
feels confident will be purchased, and many of
them built upon this season, as he is
disposing of three or four every day. Many
houses will be required by new corners who
have not laid BY money sufficient TO pur
chase homes. and therefore we reiterate the
importance of erecting more houses, of suit
able size and rental for mechanics, by those
who have the means at their disposal to
invest in this direction.

ROBBERY IN MoLINE.-ARREsT OF THE
ALLEGED MaLEFAcroRs On last Wednes.
day night somebody broke pane of glass
IN George Herbst's shoe store window, in
Moline, and stole $40 worth of boots and
SHOES. The property was traced to the pos
session OF Job Ross of this city, who pur-
chased them from John Morgan, of Moline,
and his son. Morgan was accordingly
arrested, and alleged tina. he purchased them
from Samuel West, his son in law who for
merly kept an eating house in Davenport
and Reuben 8. West, son of Sam aforesaid.
The interesting quarteste, who are all related
were arrested BY Marshal Weber and officer
Brennan and taken 60 Moline for examina
ton. An attempt was made last night to
rob the National bank at Moline, and mum
Gus other petty thefts have taken place
there lately. Moline is the happy possessor
OF some ofthe worst professional thieves and
scoundrels ont of Jail. They herd there
make their nest among the saints, ss rat
Heshake coils IN prairie dogs lodge, and
'eei sale. They occasionally sally forth from
.neH holes and make predatory incursions
into Rock Island and Davenport. These
rats should be hunted from their hiding
places.

ARTISTIC MECHANIsM.-Under the head
of new advertisements will be found the card
of Mason & Evans, of Davenport, Iowa, the
well known carriage manufacturers. Messrs.
Mason & Evans have acquired o reputation
for elegant aud durable carriage work sec
ond to none in the West. Last autumn, a
wealthy Chicago merchant, who casually saw
some of their work, sent them an order for g
fancy park vehicle, which order was filled to
the entire satisfaction of their customer. The
fame of this firm has rsdiated hundreds of
miles around Davenport, and they occupy an
enviable position among Western manutaci'
urers as the opponents of the highest style OF
art in carriage making. They are now
turning out some of the latest ideas in beach
wagons and buggies.
