At about one O'Clock to-day the fire alarm
sounded. and the report spread that the
Moline Wooden Mills we're burning, and the
other immense manufacturing establish

The mills hsd just commenced work for
The afternoon, when. by some accident, a
bar el of oil in the engine room took
FIRE. And in q short space of time the entire
building was filled with dense and suffo-
eating smoke. The operators tried TO leave
the building At the rear, but were driven
back BY the smoke, and finally made their
way out at the other end of the building
Mr.. Stevens, one o: ths proprietors, did
ing to the engine room, and closed all OF
the other doors aud windows. In doing this
ne was obliged to crawl upon his hands and
knees about the building in order to prevent
being sutfoca,ed. This probably WAS the
means of saving much of the property and
preventing the building from being burned

THE SIDEwALKs.-"It is not without Just

The Sidewalk ordinance Was almost univer

| made to comply with ii? The facts IN the
case We're these, we positively know, after
some little inquiry: The council deter
mined TO enforce the ordinance, and had
ieci1ed to make Mr.. Bailey Davenport
refusal to comply ties; case. A meeting
vas held and the whole charge Of pr scout
ng the case was 30 arranged that it was left
with that republican Alderman Sage All
thought the matter wonld be crowded
through. This sage alderman could do il
and had the council to back him. The City
Attorney told him he was ready TO proceed
with the case, but 10 his surprise was told -
have concluded not to 60 on with that case =
Having got the whole thing into his OWL
hands. tie this republican alderman, con
ciuded to rest the case, contrary 10 the
expectation and order of the council. We
will not say that he has made any thing out
Of his sharp practice, for repub lican Office
holders are proverbially uncorruptbIe, and
can't be bought, although some such thing
was limited al when this Sage was elected,
and we opine he will also fail of making any
political capital out Of this state OF affairs
the same es as a few others did in trying 10
make the present council run the city in
debt for improvements that can be dispensed
with for the present. He has, however, &C
complisbed one thinq-that of relieving
few wealthy men from building sidewalks,
when poorer men have built their walks
There is but little glory and much less credi,
IN this for him. One thing it does show
that even one republican alderman in the
council can hinder the enforcement of an
ordinance that is favored BY nearly all. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that be did this TO
give his party = chance to make political
capital. That he should so prostitute his
office to party interests is a matter Of great
surprise when we remember that republican
officers are so sage, high minded, and never
pollute their official robes, by lighting in the
council chamber. and by partzan action.
Possibly Mr.. Sage can explain his action IL

disposal if be can do so, and we hope tina,
