The National Board Of Fire Underwri.
ters, at their late meeting in the CITY Of
New York, resolved to raise a fund Of
100000 for the detection, conviction and
punishment Of parties engaged in the ne
tarious business Of incendiarism and arson.

at their meeting on May l4th, 1873. car
RED out the resolution and opened the sub,
scription.
We hail this movement as a step in the
right direction, and commend the action
as one not only likely to benefit Underwri-
tiers. but also to protect the public from
wholesale loss This action is the more
important when it is remembered that the
experience Of the large companies tran
sacting the business of fire insurance in the
United States shows that the proportion
OF loss TO be attributed to the above causes
is not less than 80 per cent of the whole,
or a loss to the country of at least twenty
five millions of dollars per annum.-Ere8-

THE GOVERNMENT BRIDGES
AT ROCK ISLAND
ARSENAL.
No More Transferring of Rail-
road Freight Permitted.
The P. & R. !. and the D. & St. P.
Shut Off.
DEALERS AND MANUFACTURERS IN
ROCK ISLAND AND DAVENPORT MUST
SHIP TO AND FROM THEIR RES
PECTIVE PLACES.
Cap" Robinson and Hiram Price gone to
Washington.

This Thursday morning we learne,
that new order had just been issued b,
the Secretary Of War in regard to trans
ierrlng treights over the government
bridges at Rock Island Arsenal
Heretofore, the freight business Of tn,
Peoria & Rock Island, and of the Daven
port h St Paul roads ihas been transferred
by wagons over the Rock Island Arsenal
bridges. 1t has also, TO some extent, been
the practice of merchants and manutac-
turers,o on each side of the river, when hay
ing their goods, wares and merchandise on
their wagons, to haul them over the gov
eminent bridges, for shipment, if anything
could be saved by it,--or to receive them
in the same way The Secretary of War
has directed that Hereafter no railroad
treights be aHQired 10 cross tie GogeYRme,lt
Bridges IN ,oagoHS. Dealers and manu-
facturers in Rock Island, South Rock Isl
and, Milan and Moline must, therefore
hereafter ship from and to their respective
places. The same in Davenport. The
practice of carting stores from one side of
the river 10 the other FOR shipment, or Of
receiving stores in the same way, is to be
discontinued.
We presume that the c., r. l. 4 2.
railroad company, having paid one hall the
expense of building the Rock Island bridge
would naturally feel that the bridge ought
not to be used to injure tae business of the
road owning one-half Of it, or the business
Of any other railroad which hereafter
might obtain an interest in it.
This order will, doubtless have more
direct effect upon the Peoria 4 Rock Island
and the Davenport 4 St. Paul than any
other road or parties those roads
having, as yet, no right to run
their trains over the bridge, aud.
therefore. have been using it To transfer
freight by wagons between their roads.
If the new order shall be confined strict
y to tIeights received or sent by railroads
we see no objection to it. The intercourse.
social and business. between the people on
each side Of the river is not to beiuterfered
with, as matters now stand. But Cap
Robinson and Hiram Price have very sud
denly and very privately left for Washing
ton, and it will be well for the people to
keep their eyes and ears omen. The busi
ness Of these monopolists in Wash
ington may not be for the pur-
pose Of getting new order cutting
off people generally from crossing these
bridges, i'll order to bleed them for the
benefit Of the Poor Heirs still it is well
enough to keep an eye out, for their visit
means something
