AS late as 1851, when we came to Rock
Island, there were bells erected on posts,
each side of the river, which took the place
of the triangles.
''On the death of John Wilson, the ferry
fell in the hands of his son-in-law, Judge
Spencer, and Thos. j. Robinson, then as
sociate Judge and in 1854 another Judge
James Grant, of Davenport, was added,
and the firm changed from j. W. Spencer
Il Co., to Spencer, Robinson & Co,-the
latter partner retiring in 1862.
The John Wilson" was the first per-
manent steamer ferry boat introduced here.
The Davenport" came out in '55 and ran
in connection with the Wilson in those
busy transfer times of 1855 and 1856, be-
fore the completion of the railroad bridge.
In 1851 the Rock Island, the present
ferry came into service, and the Wilson
was sold into the Lyons and Fulton trade,
and when the war broke out the Daven-
port went into the hands of the Govern
ment transport business, and in time went
where all the good steamers go. The only
competition the firm had was in lS54-5,
when Judge Mitchell and G. 5. Whistler,
having obtained ten years charter from
Iowa, put boat of their own upon the
line. In the winter of '54-5 they, with
Lemuel Andrews and others Of Rock ISL
and made an effort to get a charter from
the Illinois Legislature, but through an
infrmity of a prominent lobbyist lost it by
one or two votes. Having authority tc
carry but one way, the business was I'M
profitable, but keeping up bold front sold
their Iowa franchise in 1855 to Spencer,
Robinson & Co. for $4,000, and afterwards
sold their boat to an irresponsible party
and never got mt for it. 1t was losing
enterprise all for the want OF vote OF
two.
Spencer, Robinson & Co. amassed a
handsome fortune from the ferry--theil
best years being lS55-56-before the rail
road bridge was completed but the bust
ness continued excellent until our benevo
lent Uncle Samuel built the magnificent
iron carriage bridge and threw it open tt
everybody, free of charge. Under this ar.
rangement the boat barely pays expenses
and valuable source of revenue is wei
nigh dried up.

The Monopoly papers of the Republican
stripe were very unhappy because Judge
Murphy, the Mayor of Davenport, and
Anti Monopoly State Senator from Scott
county, attended the emancipation celebra-

say now, when they read the following,
from the Dosmoines Register? p
Among the nominations made by the
Anti Monopoly caucus last evening was
that of Master Henry Warwick, son of Mr.
Warwick, of Davenport, one of the most
noted colored men in the State, This re-
suit was secured on the motion of Senator
j. Fl. Murphy, Of Scott county. The Sen
ator Immediately telegraphed the news to

reply:

SMALLPOX IN IOWA.
Spread Of the Disease from Small Beginning
Want OF Proper Care and Pre-
caution.

The smallpox which originated in Cas-
cade, Iowa, twenty six miles from Du-
buque, has spread to Farley and Worth
lngton, and seems to be getting worse ev-
cry day. The disease could have been
checked when the first case was discovered
had the proper measures been taken, but
instead OF burying the body of the first IA
tai case quietly, and at night, the corpse
was followed to the grave by a large fun
eral procession, and six pall-bearers. The
pall-bearers are now SICK as well as sever
al who attended the funeral One of the
pall-bcarers was a baker, and, after help
ing to put the body in the coffin and to
bury it, he went home and to work as us
ual, with results that might have been ex-
pected. lie is now on the verge of the
grave with smallpox and so are nearly all
OF his customers. 1t he escapes the small
pox, he ought not to escape the law. The
physicians say they have vaccinated in and
around Cascade no less than 800 persons
since the disease broke out. There are
over forty cases in Cascade alone. The
people do not seem to feel or know the
danger they are living in, and go about
town, attending to business, aud, at the
same time, have a small pox patient in
their house. The result of such want of
caution has been the cause of the disease
spreading to such an extent.
Mayor Davenport renews his former
recommendation to people, old and young,
to get vaccinated Immediately. Also that
all school children be immediately vacci-
nated-and also all young children not
attending schools. This is the only eff
tive mode of prevention, for we know not
how soon it may break out here. People
who neglect the timely recommendation of
the Mayor will be largely responsible for
the spread of the disease if it makes its
advent here.

4 Snrinrfeld telegram Saws

A Springfield telegram says
1t seems after all the State will lose
money by the Illinois Car Company. The
State officials admit its liability for $4,000
The Company claim 81 900, against which
81, 800, due for labor, will be offset. Gov.
Beveridge is understood to be anxious for
a thorough investigation. The Legislature
should accommodate him. Farmers ad-
ministration of the prison made the origin
al contract with the Car Company, and
held some of the stock. There is reason
Tor believing that the new administration
is not blameless.
In the meanwhile, the fight between
Nham and the Commissioners wakes
warm, and before long one will force the
other out Every day something new is
disclosed.
Two of the Commissioners rode all over
creation last year on free passes and charg-
ed their expenses to the State. This ac-
counts for the difference of some $4OO on
one voucher between their bills of expenses
and the bill of another Commissioners. who,
while he used passes, had not sufficient
cheek to charge the State with railroad
fares.
