This morning, about ten O'Clock. as DIR.
Piummer was driving in the lower part OF
the city, he was hailed by a number OF
women running after him and calling on
MIN to come into the house of Frederick
Brunswick, an employe of the Rockford
railroad, and see his wife. 1t seems that
Mrs. Brunswick had gone down cellar to
get a pot of concentrated lye, and, hearing
the baby commencing to cry, she started
up quickly, but made a misstep and fell
back, striking on her head and spilling the
lye over her face and head She lay in an
unconscious state until tound. Drs. Plum
mer and Keller administered restoratives
and brought her to and dressed her
wounds. Hex face Is horribly burned and
swollen, and the hair on her mead is so
badly scorched that part of it is out al
ready.
7. Sat 4. 2. NJ DR.. Keller informs
us that a portion of the scalp has fallen
off that her tongue is swollen shockingly,
50 much so that no stimulants or food can
be administered. 1t is thought that she
cannot live but a short time.

500 suits boys clothing at Loeb's
BOUFgON CONVENTION.

The telegraph reports that old Joe Led
lie, Bourbon OCunor Democrat, wants a
State Convention on the same day with
McCormick's Peoples Convention. This
is undoubtedly Il Republican move to get
up a third ticket in order to save the State
to the Republican office holders. The Re
publicans will furnish the delegates and
pay the expenses, hoping that enough
idiotic Democrats may be found through
out the State to vote the third ticket and
thus help keep the Grant party in power.
they may succeed. Here and
may be found men who know so lit
tie or care so little about principles that
will vote any ticket having the
trademark Democratic ON it. While
the mass of the people are too intelligent
and too Independent to pe fooled in that
way, still it is not impossible that a Bour-
bon movement may save the Republicans
from defeat now, as it did in the last
presidential election.

THEIR TACTICS,

1t is reported that, yesterday Monday
morning, Judge I.ynde and Mai. Boards
ley started for Henry and the other coun-
ties in this congressional district, to show
the Republicans there how fat they had
laid Hawicy out. at home, and that Lynde
was the man to nominate for congress. An
ARGUS reporter failed to find Judge Lynde
at either Of his bank, in this city, and the
report probably correct.
It's also reported that Judge Gould, OF
Moline, the head Of the Lynde ticket for
delegates there, started Sunday night for
the other counties, in the Lynle interest.
1t Is quite evident that the other counties
are to he filled with Lynde emissarie,, at
once.
The hawley people ar, quiet and appar-
emily undisturbed. During last evening
Mr.. Hawley aud a few IF his friends in
this city and from Moline. had a meeting
in Sweeney & Jack,5n> office. and talked
over the situation. aud Mr.. Hawlev an.
nounced biz determination to take M meas
uies to influence the other counties. He
said he had letters from friends in all the
other counties assuring him of the uuwa-
vcring attachment Of the Republicans in
those counties to him, and that he was
thels choice for another terur He should
quietly vain the result.

Bob Holloway,

Robert Holloway Esq. is a candidate for
the Independent nomination for congress
in the Mercer and Warren district. Mr..
Holloway is one Of the largest farmers in
Warren county, and is reckoned among
the ablest men in Illinois. In early life
he was a successful practiclng attorney.
Some years since he gave up his law prac-
tice and retired to his farm, where, for
years, he has been Il practical tiller OF
the soil. lie would make a very good
congressman.
u. p. Phelps, of Monmouth, and per
haps others, are also candidates for the
nomination. A union of Independent
and Democrats on a good can
iidate will carry that district.

On Sunday. when Deputy Marshal Kim
bali was taking the Greim and Scully boys
tojail for stealing fruit from Mixers orch
ard, he met Mr.. Greim who very properly
acquiesced in the act of the officer. But
Frederika Greim, his wife, followed after
the officer and Selling hold of the boy at
tempted to rescue him, The officer used
| what force he deemed necessary to repel
the attack Of the woman and retain posses
sion of his prisoner. it was an awkward
predicament for Officer Kimball. He
either had to repulse the woman, or take
her 70 Jail, or suffer himself to be beaten
by the woman and be jeered at by the
crowd of hoodlums for letting a M res
cue a prisoner from him.
Mrs. Greim went to Esqr. Piukley and
swore ont a state warrant against officer
kimball Tor assault, and Mr.. kimball com
planned Of Mrs. Greim, before Magistrate
Chopper, for resisting an officer. The re-
s~istance was plainly proven, but Esqr.
Chopper, considering that the woman was
ignorant of the legal effect of her acts, and
believing that she was more intent upon
%yet,,na possession of her boy than any
thing else, discharged her. Mr.. Choppers
sympathies as a man are known TO be kind
but as a court he was bound to enforce
the law, which we reckon he failed to do.
He used TO say, when he was marshal, If
the courts would not sustain the officers, it
was poor encouragement for officers to try
to do their duty. But lawyer Olsen, who
appeared for Mrs. Greim, made such an
eloquent and affecting plea for the ignor-
ance of the mother 10 relation to the law
and her anxiety to get her boy away from
the officer that it quite melted the heart Of
the Magistrate.
The case before Pinkley came on at | p.
NJ. before a jury Olsen for Mrs. Greim
City Attorney Gest for the officer. The
case was not concluded when THE ARGUS
went to press.
1t is rumored that Officer Kimball will
have Mrs. Greim arrested on a state war
rant, for assault. He il determined to
know whether the laws Of Illinois will pro-
tect him in keeping possession of a prison
er at any hazard. If people are cncour-
aged to rescue prisoners from officers of
the law, there is no use in having any law,
but let The law of force take the place OF
the statute. The officer has either the
right to keep his prisoner at all hazards
or has no right to hold him at all.

After hearing the result from the towns in
this county, he was asked his opinion OF its
effect on the Republicans of Henry county.
lie thought 1t would not change their opin
ion at all. lie said they were IN favor OF
liaWleyS denomination and he had no idea
that their minds would be changed by the
result in this county, nor did he see why
they should. He supposed they would
acquiesce in the will Of a majority in the
convention, but their votes would, in his
opinion, be given to Mr.. Hawley.

STILL AFRAID OF THE DEAD LION.

1t is not a little amusing to outsiders to
see the Lynde skirmishers snufing about
Hawley to satisfy themselves that he is
really politically dead. The motives that
underlie their opposition to Mr.. I1awley,
the means used to accomplish his defeat,
and the result, have passed beyond their
control and ale now the property OF the
other counties. Do they fear the cooler
and unprejudiced judgement Of the CON
v%entions to be held in these counties! 1t
is true, their dead lion lies m~oionless-
but there is no wall of anguis from the
defeated and no mourners going about the
streets. They had calculated on holding a
funeral in the family, and supposed they
had prepared the subject. Why this awk-
ward DELAY? The friends of the family,
sucb ne democrats, Liberals and Dead
beats" have been invited the priestly
| Haverstick stands ready with the Radical
PRAYER book. 1t must not be postponed.
The sexton, Beardsley, has been dispatch
ed to the four corners of the district to
announce the death of the great and
good Lord John. The funeral must 60 on.
Should the disfigured remains be discov-
cred on their hands by his faithful subjects
it is feared they will all be buried in that
deep ditch where three pound potatoes and
great cabbages grow. The funeral must 90
on. Behold the INVITED triends-they are
all present they have come to the funeral
and are determined to have one, and they
care not which side of the family is buried
first.
listen! The ~priestly Haverstick-the
skeleton in the Republican house, an
nounces the test which must be applied to
the body of the sleeping congressman.
He has discovered that Hawley once want
ed to be State Senator and was defeated
bv the Hon. Alfred Webster. The test is
a remarkable one original too. Lord
John may therefore consider himself po-
~litically dead. Go on with the funeral.
