Assault with q Deadly Weapon.

Yesterday, THE l7thJ Joseph Brinkley,
an under boss at the cotton factory at
South Rock Island, was arrested by Con-
stable Flanagan, on warrant issued by
Justice Pinkley, for an assault on VIM.
Combe, (also an employee of the cotton
MILL with deadly weapon with intent to
do great bodily injury. The evidence, be-
fore Esq'r Pinkley, showed that the quar-
rel grew out of some family affair. Brink
ley struck Combe over the head with
an iron stove poker, laying open
the scalp. Combe picked up a scale
weight to defend himself with, when Brink
ley threw down his poker and drew his
revolver Other parties interfered and
that was the end of it. Brinkley was
fined s. and costs, in all $l225. Five
dollars for splitting a mans head open
and drawing a revolver on him is dirt
cheap.

John Osters was arrested by Marshal
Hawes,o on the complaint of G. J.Willmans,
for larceny of So 80 worth Of cigars. Tried
before Justice Pinckley, sentenced to two
days in Jail and held in the sum of 1000
to keep the peace.-Ddu. Gaz. THIS morn
ing.
This is the same fellow who was fined
SIS and costs and sent to jail for Is days
by Magistrate Norris, on Wednesday, for
the same ofiense. The fact is that our
justice courts over here don't care whether
there is any higher court or not, or wheth-
er there is any penitentiary. In some
places justice courts require thieves to find
bail for appearance in higher court for
trial--but we have shorter way over
here; we can fine man for larceny and
sentence him to Jail for any length of time.
1t is true that there is no law authorizing
this to be done, but what do we care for
that?

Clean Streets and Alleys.

Street Com'r Warner IS doing his work
rapidly and well, but it is of very little use
to clean the cutters and streets if citizens
take no pride in keeping them clean. We
notice, in some places, that the dirt carts
are hardly out of sight before careless and
slovenly people commence dumping their
ash buckets into the cutters and streets,
sweeping paper and litter there also, and
throwing old oyster cans, fruit cans, etc,
in the same direction Every such person
is liable to fine, and the only way to stop
1t Is to arrest and fine those who do it..
Mr. Warner says if they will keep their
ashes and litter in barrels and place them
at the curb stone, once a week or once in
two weeks on some day when he shall give
notice, he will have them emptied into his
dirt carts and taken away-but they cannot
be permitted to fill M the
cutters or litter up the streets.
1t is the duty of the police to have all who
'lolate the ordinance arrested and fned
and nothing but few fines will convince
people that the administration is in earn.

Cash Wanted.

1t takes cash to carry on almost any en-
terprise. If the liquor dealers hold con
ventions, procure music, employ speakers,
order printing. etc, etc, they put up the
money to pay for it. If political party
attempts to carry on political campaign
without money to pay the necessary ex-
penses their campaign drags and fails. If
the Farmers attempt to carry out their
principles without providing the "slnews
Of wal" they fail, too, And if the tenn
perance people expect to hold meetings
and procure speakers, music, printing, etc.
aud employ lawyers TO enforce the laws.
and have no committees to carry out their
plans, and no money to pay their bills, they
will fail also. These things have been
talked over among the temperance people,
and some have talked of an admission fee
to the lectures, an initiation fees to those
who join the society, etc, etc..-but these
plans would kill the movement at once,
They have adopted better plan viz: they
will appeal to the moral and christian men
Of means to come down with the funds.
Ifa rich church member is in earnest he will
show it by his subscription. The ladies
have therefore started temperance stock
association Five dollars constitutes the
value OF share, ten per cent, Of which is
to be paid on assuming the obligation, the
holder Of the share rendering himself LA
BILE to future assessments, should the asso-
citation require them. The money thus
collected is designed to pay the expenses
of the campaign against liquor, including
prosecutions for violations of State and
municipal laws Yesterday they were
canvassing for subscribers 20 the stock
and the moral and upright men of means will
have chance now to show their willing
ness TO sustain the ladies' in their efforts to
lessen the evils of intemperance.
1t is the intention of the ladies to hold
mass temperance meetings once in two
weeks, and they desire to secure a unifor-
nifty of action among the ministers OF
Rock Island, 50 that NJ SUNDAY shall pass
without temperance sermon in one OF
the churches.

OUR DISTRICT.

In the Republican Office holders caucus
in Chicago, held for the purpose of spread
ing a net for the Changers, this District
was represented by Messrs. J. NJ. Boards
ley, of this city, and Joseph Utley, of Dix
on,-both office holders, and both anxious
to keep the party together so they can keep
their Offices All those at the caucus were
either Office holders, office seekers, con-
tractors or some way interested in the spoils
of Office. Mr.. Utley is one of the State
Canal Commissioners, and Beardsley is
President of the Soldiers Orphans Home
both nice places. When this District
was called, the following was the answer,
as reported in the Chicago papers:
SIXTH DISTRICT
Major Beardsley, OF the Sixth, wanted an early
convention, so that the Republican party which had
not had much to do for a long time should again
get in ira ling He had no doubt that the Repub
ican party, watch saved the nation, should con
tinue to exist, and that 1t should forward with
steady tread and in solid column, as In days gone
by. They had carried Rock Island county this
year, and they would carry the entire District
Grangers ia that county looked 10 the Republf al
party for all the laws they wanted.
Canal-Comm ssioner Utley could assure the meet
ing that they apprehended no trouble in the DIS
trict. They were satisfied WITH the government OF
the state and the nation. They did not want tC
max party question of everything, but the sgrea
principles" OF the parry should be sustained. d.
did not want the Convention called too early, as
great many persons had not made up their mlnd'
what to do in public matters.
The most natural thing in the world, fol
an ofice-holder, is to think there is party
behind him. As long as he can hold al
office he is satisfied, and thinks everybody
else ought to be- But these fellows were
never more mistaken in their lives. Their,
is no Republican party too day except the
Office holders, the men interested in job:
and contracts, the office seekers and the
committee men-that's all. The people
know that both the old parties are play
ed, and they will have nothing to do witt
either, A new deal, new men, free trade
no monopoly, an honest currency, an econ
omical government, and home rule is theil
cry. The old party hacks and bummers
are played"

POLICE COURT.
Before Jacob Norris, Police Magistrate

Last evening, as Mr., T. 4. Babcock was
standing on the sidewalk of an uptown
street he heard some one call out: Stop
him T. Catch him ''-and seeing young
man near him start to run, Tim, though
not very young boy himself, gave him
chase and caught him. Policeman Parke
soon arrived, for it was he who gave the
calls,and took the young man and marched
him off to JAIL forgetting to say thank
ee, sir, to the man who caught the pris-
oner. His name is John Burns. This
morning Policeman Bremen took him be-
fore Magistrate Norris on a charge of fast
driving, last Sunday-$5 and costs.

that they possess rare and unexcelled cur

A VERY UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

On Wednesday night, the 18th, a man
and his wife took the train in Chicago hav-
ing tickets for Omaha. Charlie Everts
was conductor. Out about Blue Island
the man took off his boots and put his feet
over the back of the seat in front of him.
The occupant of the seat demonstrated, AMI
was kicked in the face forit. The insulted
man appealed to the conductor, who spoke
in a proper manner to the offender in re-
gard to his conduct, but was foulIy abused
in return. Mr.. Everts saw that the fellow
was intoxicated and he took him by the
collar and shook him, put his feet down
and chucked him into his seat and told him
if he insulted the passengers again he
would put him off the train. He refrained
from any further demonstrations on the
passengers, but every time Everts passed
through the car he was the recipient Of
foul abuse from the drunken man. He
cared nothing for himself, and re-
scented nothing he said, but told hin
he must not annoy the passengers
that it was his duty to protect them--fo1
himself he cared nothing. The abuse was
kept up every time Everts passed through
the car, all night long.
On Thursday morning when the trair
arrived in Rock Island, the man got out OF
the platform and approached Evert'
in a threatening manner, calm G hin
all the foul names he could thinl
of, and saying that he would whil
him. Mr.. Everts tried to avoid any trou
BILE with him, told him he had better g
into the car, not to come near him, or h
might get hurt. Instead of taking Everts
advice he few at him and struck him OF
the breast, and squared off to fight. Still
Everts kept about his business and trieC
to avoid a fuss. The man repeated
the blow, and renewing his vii,
epithets struck for Everts' face. Charlie
knocked the blow upwards and then gave
him a couple knocking him upon the plat
form Anybody who knows Charlie Evert
knows that a blow from him is equal t.
the kick cf a horse. The man was plcket
up, his face badly damaged, and carried
into the car The train went on, bu
when they arrievd in Davenport he wa
found to be so badly hurt that he was car
ried into Conkln's restaurant, near tn
depot, and DR.. Grant called to attend him
His name is Robert Duke, from Canada
| To-day (the 18TH it was reported tina
he was dead. A reporter for THE ARGU
visited the place where he is lying an,
found him alive, but brain fever has set il
and the chances are that he will die.
1t is a very unfortunate affair, but we d
not see how Mr.. Everts can be blamed
He is noted for his kindness and good na
ture, and would bear almost anything rath
er than get into quarrel-especially whel
he was acting for the company and not 70
himself personally, He did everything h
could to avoid difficulty. and only punished
the man in self-defense. If the facts ar
as stated he will be fully justified in tn
course he pursued, however unfortunate i
may be for the offending party.
