POLICEMAN ROATcH RETURNED.
He Declares the Rumors about him and his
wife wholly false.

Policeman Gideon Roatch returned this
morning on the st. Louis cars, at IS -,
having come direct from Indiana to Boards
town, taking the st. Louis road there
FITZGERALD train at | : % last night He
was greatly astonished to find himself
and wife the subject of unpleasant news
paper comment. Mr. and Mrs Roatch
Immediately called at the sanctum of the
editor Of this paper and desired us to say,
/. that 1t is true that he had brother who
resided in Hendricks county, near Bellvilie,
Indiana miles west, who was
widower, with four children. He
worked for farmer named Miles Bus
by. On Monday last he got letter
saying that his brother was dangerously
sick and if he would see him alive he must
start Immediately. He got permission and
left on that evening train Monday night.
I His Drothers name was Thomas He was
/ "a years of age, and died on Tuesday
morning-about 10 or IL hours after Roatch
| left here. He returned as soon as possible
and never had thought of anything but
to return as quick as he could make the
journey.
9. Mr.. Roatch seemed more disturbed
on account Of the remarks about his wife
than anything else, and says that nothing
alleged in the newspapers in regard to hel
has any foundation whatever, in truth. He
most emrhatically denies that there evel
was any unpIeasantness between them OIL
any cause for any that he never had ant
has not now the slightest grounds for any
unpleasant suspicious, or any improperly
on her part, and they both declare thai
whoever has started any story to the con
trary is base, cowardly and untruthfu
person.
Mr. Roatch thinks it hard that he coult
not even go to the death bed of his brothe
without his family being attacked and thei
characters injured before the community
He is a citizen of Rock Island, says h,
intends to remain such, and hopes that hi
conduct and that of his family will be sucl
as to win the approval of all good citizen
of the. place. Thia is, in short, the sub
stance of their story

Bad for Davenport.

Our neighbors, over the brook, seem TO
have bad luck They lost their opera
house, becausc-it didn't pay They lost
the d. & ST. z. r. r., and have to 90 to
Duck Creek to find it. They lost Mr. A.
Kimball, assistant general superintendent
of the c., Il. |. & 2. r. R.--he moved
over here WHERE he could find a live town,
and where his company is building the
largest round house on its line; and where
its great machine shops will be located.
They nearly lost the C., R. /. & P. r. r.
they have to go up ladder TO find it,
They failed to get good many other
things, marine hospital, ETC., andsoforth,
which they yearned for, Their inhabitants
move away their buildings are for rent
aud they feel bad generally. And this
morning the Gazette says:
''The general freight office of the Peoria
& Rock Island Railway is to be removed
from this city to Peoria. there to remain
until the Davenport 4 St, Paul Railroad is
brought into Davenport. At present nine
tenths of the through freight on the latter
is transferred to the Northwestern at

The decision of Judge Upton, of the
Mclean Circuit Court, in the case of the
Gilman Clinton 4 Springfield Railroad
Company, is an interesting document 1t
recites the history Of that railroad. which
is essential the history of all railroads built
in this State on the bonds of deceived and
plundered municipal corporations 1t
throws a food OF light on the railroad aid
bond question and a good many collateral
questions. Ii establishes beyond a doubt
that most, if not all, the railroads built on
the local subsidy plan are worth all that
rhey cost that the town and county bonds
issued to aid in their construction are a
valid lien on the roads, to their respective
amounts, and cannot be submerged under
other liens of fictitious character. or
swallowed up by fraudulent leases; that in
this case land probably in others the
( towns and counties which issued the bonds
were virtually cheated out of the whole
amount Of their subscriptions, and that
/ they can recover the amount at common
/ law 1t indicates that where county sub
/ scriptions 10 railroad stock have been
made, and the railroad is then stolen
away, there is way to get the
property back Under all the cir
/ cumstances, the Court thought it hi
duty to appoint Receiver to take charge
Of and manage the railroad until such time
as it can be ascertained who are the bona
tide stockholders If the towns and coun.
ties which have been swindled into voting
bonds for other railroads that have beer
stolen in this State will take like mea
sures to recover their property, the effect
will be To blot out large amount of frau
dulent and Ubiquitous local debt which the
bondhOlders are trying to make the STATE
of Illinois assume Chicago Tribune.
This decision goes to the bottom o
things, and is in the interest of the plum
dered people Perhaps it might lie vel
for our Board of Supervisors to inquire j
there Is any chance to recover any Of tn,
old Warsaw & Rockford property ais
for the City Council to see if any of tn
investments made by this town can b
made to yield any return, under this de
cision. We have not seen the full text O
the decision, but presume it will be pub
Hshed soon.

A Fine Head.

We had the pleasure this morning of
visiting, in Rock Island. the studio of H.
Fl. Henderson, NJ. G. A., the popular art
ist whose portraits have been so successful
wherever exhibited He has just compile
ted kit-kat portrait of Col j. n. Ma
comb, L. 5. Engineers, in the new uniform
Of that corps. 1t is work of rare merit,
and the way in which Mr.. H. has succeed
ed in overcoming the cold effect of such a
mass of blue is mastery. The head is
forcibly painted with that snap, relief and
graduation characteristic of his best efforts.
1t is really fine head, boldly handled, with
out any tinnicking or teazing of color, and
the carnations, half-tones and retiring pas
sages are full Of sweetness, combined with
power. The uniform is magDifcently paint
ed, round and rich, while the metallic lus-
tire and catching lights of the belt and
buttons have that uTdisemblaRce which
shows H. H, H. to be master of still-liie
as he is Of giving the inner man in the
faces he paints. We trust it will be ex-
hibited before it joins the gallery of its mil
itary owner Davenport Democrat.

The following statement Of Infamous
conduct on the part of a girl supposed to
be in Davenport, is taken from the Waiver
ly Iowa. independent.
Our readers will recollect that about a
wear ago we published an account of the
arrest and trial, before a justice of the
Peace. of John Cookery, Of Dayton town
shin, on the charge of committing the un-
natural crime of incest with his own
daughter. They will also recollect that,
soon afterward, he committed suicide
and was buried, unmourned by anyboC Y.
During the trial he, Cookery, protested
and affirmed that he was innocent of the
crime, and that the story Of the girl was a
base and infamous lie. But Cookery was a
dissipated man, and very few believed him
guiltless. On the examination he was bound
over to answer to the heinous crime against
nature, but before court time he took his
own life.
Now comes the other part of the story.
After Corkery's death, the guardian OF
Corkery's children, Mr.. Deluhry, sent the
girl to Davenport TO Catholic institution
to await her delivery of child, and after
wards to be educated under the tutorshiF
of the Catholic Church, of which Cookery
and she were both members. After she
had been ar Davenport while she wrote &
letter to Mr. Deluhry, informing him that
she was not nor never had been enceiRte
that all her charges against her father
/ were false that she had sworn falsely
against him without any cause what
ever. Before the surprise and indignation
of friends Of the family had subsidized
| the authorities of the school informed
Mr. Deluhry that the girl had made hel
escape from the institution and they
were unable to learn her whereabouts
Mr.. Deluhry has made an effort TO find he
| by letter, but up 10 this time without sue
| cess. He proposes to go in search of he
as soon as possible, provided the Probate
/ Court orders. No doubt the miserable
| girl is in some house of prostitution, eithe
! in Davenport or elsewhere,
John Cookery is dead, and only remem
bered on account of the unnatural GRIM
charged against him in his lifetime by hi
own child Trouble and falsehood, couple,
/ with dissipation. drove him TO prematur
grave, while the pOpulace said twas goo,
thing. Time has turned aside the vail q
falsehood, and John Cookery is reyealer
as prosecuted aud wronged man BY hi
own blood and kin. Whatever his fault
may have been, it is relief to know tina
this blacklist of all black crimes does DC
rest upon his name, that his little childre
are relieved from the imputation b
thoughtless persons of being the offsprin
of an incestuous beast. The punishmen
due to the girl may never be melted on, t
her in this world by a court of justice, bu
, her life will be that of an outcast and
criminal, the wrong she did her father wi
eat at her heart as doth a cauker, and
the Judgment DAY the blood of poor job
Cookery will be upon her garments
The Davenport Gazette says: ''Th
girl may have been admitted to Mere
Hospital, bat she was not an inmate of an
Catholic school here. Her conduct is til
+ basest ever heard Of
