Hannecke's they ordered the detention of
a large number of unstamped cigars which
were in the salesroom, claiming that it was
a violation of law to keep them in that
condition in any place outside the manu-
featuring room. Mr.. Isaacs was charged
with irregularity and ordered to appear
before Deputy Collector Eph Wood, If
Rock Island. The detectives are still in
Moline hunting up violations of the |
revenue laws. 1t is not known what dis
position will be made Of the cases above
mentioned.
To-day, Richard Schrum, of Pleasant
Valley, who had been to Rock Island,
trading, started from there in a light wag-
on in empany with his daughter about l
O'Clock. When he reached the Half Way
House, Mr.. Schrum got out to water the
horse, whereupon the animal became
frightened and ran, upsetting the wagon,
throwing out Miss Schurm, and badly
breaking a new stove to pieces. The
horse then broke from the wagon and gal
loped up Moline avenue to Main street,
and thence to Realtors mill, where it Was
finally caught. Fortunately no one was
hurt, but the wagon is complete wreck.
Mr.. Schrum considers the damage not less
than $60-perhaps more.
The Moline Election,
The election yesterday was the most
orderly of any held for years, although
there was an active interest taken in the
result. Up to noon the voting was pretty
much one way, Porter polling fully two
third of the votes cast. In the afternoon
the Cleveland strength began to develop
and then began lively work on both sides.
the friends of each candidate entering into
the canvass IN genuine earnest. Towards
5 o'clock it was evident that Cleveland was
gaining, his friends seeming determined to
overcome the heavy Porter vote of the
forenoon. But the friends of Porter were
not idle and hacks were despatched to
bring out every possible vote. About
o'clock it was estimated by we'll informed
parties that Porter was still $50 ahead and
then his friends redoubled their efforts
and soon the Porter men came up in solid
column and continued to arrive until the
hour for closing the polls, leaving num-
Der yet to vote. The crowd then dispers-
ed to their homes to refresh the inner man
while the judges were counting the votes
and figuring up the result.
| That Porter had carried the town by q
good majority was evident, but his most
sanguine friends hardly anticipated ii
would reach over 200, and when the judges
announced the figures $50 majority fol
Porter it was received with tremendous
cheers. Sharp Sllvls arrived soon after,
from Hampton, with 100 more, and then
began the jollitication i'll earnest. Bonfil es
were built, congratulations exchanged, and
general rejoicing INDUCED until a late
hour, when the crowd dispersed to their
homes, the city once more assumed its
usual tranquil state, and the excitement
of the day was forgotten.
The result is source of universal salts
faction to our citizens, who cannot but re-
joice over the election of their fellow citi
zen, Samuel r. Porter, an honest and
capable man; tried and faithful public
servant.
