The payenport Market House

About $500 people peti Toned a former
city council of Davenport to build mark
ct house. The council built one, but the
dealers refused to hire stalls in it. Last
Saturday evening, an ordinance was passed
in the Council, defining market limits and
undertaking to punish people who sold
meat, fish. vegetables, etc., outside the
market limits. After discussion, the vote
on its passage was a tie Mayor Murphy
said nO-giving his reasons
First, he was opposed to the market or
dinance as an original proposition The
Council were deceived into creating a
market by petitions from the people, and
people don't support it. Then he doubted
the power to enforce the ordinance. He
didn't think it right to compel man wht
owned fac building used for the sale O.
meat and vegetables to close his place;of bu
siness and move into the market besides
if this should be done generally, it would
be very inconvenient for families living il
| the vicinity of these places, who run il
and get supplies as they happen to be ou
of them. Again, he had talked with owe,
forty citizens about the market during the
day, and not one of them seemed so be il
favor of it. For these reasons and other,
he gave, he voted against the ordinance.
1t is now proposed to convert the buildipt
into a calaboose, police head quarters, anc
police magistrate office.

THE ROCK ISLAND GLASS WORKS TO BE
CLOSED
Reason Glass Cannot be Made a. Profit Un-
less Expenses are Reduced An Effort to
Form a Cooperative Unlon-The Proposition
Rejected by the Workmen.

At a meeting of the stockholders Of the
Rock Island Glass Co, held at their office,
yesterday, the directors were instructed to
close the works at the earliest day practi-
cable and to let them remain closed until,
in their opinion, glass could be produced at
such rate as would enable the company
to compete with imported glass and glass
manufactured in the east.
We understand that this step was taken
on account of what are regarded as the ex-
travagant demands of the blowers, fathers
and cutters for their services. 1t seems
that there is a union, comprising all the
men OF those classes west of the Alleghan-
les, who fix their rates of compensation
and refuse to make any notifications there
Of These rates are said to be so much
higher than the rates paid in the east that
under them, glass cannot be produced at a
profit in competition with glass manufac-
| tured in the east or imported glass. We
| hear that all the glass works in Pittsburgh
and nearly all the glass manufactures in
the west have suspended their works fol-
the same reason.
We are also told that, in this city, the
most skillful glass blowers have been max.
ing over $500 month, and the least skill
full among them over one half that sum
A proposition was made to them by the
company to continue work on the cooper
alive plan, the operatives to be guaranteed
10 per cent Of their present wages in any
event, and contingent share of the pro
fits. The proposition was declined and tn,
works will be closed to morrow, and vii
probably remain closed for some time I,
come.
We regret that some arrangement coul,
not have been made by which labor ant
capital could work together in harmony
,, and each receive fair compensation-bu
as the effort to do so was failure, Their
seems to be no other way but to close tn,
works Such an arrangement was mad
by the Coal Valley Mining Co., over te
years ago, with its operatives, and it ha
worked smoothly and tremendously eve
since. Why could it not in this case also

the vIRGINIUS.
Attorney General Williams Decides
that she improperly, and without
Right carried the Amer
lean Flag.
Is it Our Turn to Apologize!

ATTY. Gen. Williams, in long paper to
the Sec'y of State dated the 18th, shows
that the Yirginius was the property OF
Ouesada Mora and other Cubans, residing
in New York that one Patterson was en-
ployed by them to sail her and take out
clearance papers, because foreigners could
not do this. The Atty. Gen recapitulates
the evidence and says;
Il cannot do otherwise than hold upon
this evidence that Patterson's oath was
false and that the register obtained in his
name was fraud upon the navigation
laws of the United States. Assuming the
question to be what appears to conform to
the intent of the protocol, whether or not
the Nirginius at the time of her capture
had right to carry the American flag,
/ am of the opinion that she had no such
right, because she had not been registered
according to law but am also of the opin.
; ion that she was as much exempt from inter
ference on the high seas by another pow
er on that ground, as though she had beer
lawfully registered. Spain, no doubt, ha:
a right to capture a vessel with an Ameri
can register and carrying the American
flag found in her own waters, assisting o.
J epdeavorlng to assist the insurrection ii
Cuba, but she has no right to capture sucl
vessel on the high seas upon an apprehen
sion that, in violation of the neutralit,
laws of the United States she was on he
, way to assist said rebellion, Spain ma,

q whether or not such vessel is on the higl

question as to the Virginius, but the Uni

protocol they have agreed to do it, and b

Three Gard Monte on the W. U. R. r

Stupid fools continue to bet on being able
to tell the card, and they continue to be
swinuled-of course. Last evening Mon
day. when Conductor Martindale was near
Cordova, coming down, teut6nic gentle
man, who nad been betting on the card,
came to him and commenced to relate how
he had lost $50. Mart" took in the stu
alton in about six words, and soon found
one Of the fellows crouched down on the
steps at tie rear of the hind car, ready to
jump off at Cordova, when the train slack
ed up little. He seized him by the col
lar and 'snaiked' him inside, when the
German recognized him. Mart gave
him about two seconds to hand the man an
Y or take the consequences. He handed
it over. Maltindale soon found the other
fellow in the baggage car, with an open
knife in his hand He took him by the
collar and made him put up his knife, and
| then saw it was a young rascal by
the name of Bell, of Port By
ron, who has brother in the State Pris-
on now He told him to hand over the
other ten, but just then the train Stacked
up for Cordova station and Bell jerked
himself out of the side door and got away
OF course Martindale could not leave his
train to run after him 1t is pity he did
not put them both under keepers and de-
liver them to the Sheriff of this county
And it is pity that people who saw the
scoundrels on the train plying their voca
ton did not report it to the conductor al
once and have them arrested in their swim
ding game. Similar robbers are to bC
found on every train in wait for just such
"greenes' as the one in this case. They
generally go in gangs of three, and keep {
careful eye out for the conductor. never
daring to try the game when he is in sight
