POLICE COURT.
Before &c. Chopper, Police Magistrate

Bill Burton, poor, half idiotic fellow,
was arrested yesterday afternoon, by
Marshal Halves, for being drunk and com
hitting nuisance against Chris. Buch-
oltz's saloon door. It seems that Frank
Lawson had just received his pension, and
had laid in stock of provisions, including
two gallons of whisky but he was not
allowed to drink it, for Bill Burton, bis
brother, and two or three boys stole it
and got gloriously drunk. Bill always
did like whisky and always got drunk
when he could get it. and this is believed
to have affected his mind. He had once
been sent to the insane asylum at Jack
sonville, and it was thought he was cured,
but lately, by his old habit Of drinking, it
has been seen that he was not entirely
sane. This morning the magistrate fined
him $40 and costs-not with the intention
of Furnishing him, but to send him to jail
until he got all the whisky out of him.
He was sent to jail
Clara Smith and Sam'l Smith were ar
rested this morning for keeping house of
ill-fame, They plead guilty and were fined
$40 and costs. Paid and discharged.
David Colmer was also arrested on COM
plant of Marshal Halves for being drunk
and disorderly and abusing officers last
night concerning the above named parties,
wanting to know why the h they did
not pull the house month ago, and other
abusive language. He was fined $40. and

Legs. Muslin and Hair.

An advertisement appears in this paper
Of a company of female singers and dan
GERS, called Minstrel and Can Can Troupe.
From what we hear of them we reckon no
man would like to take his wife, his
mother, his sister, or any lady to see them.
The singing will not probably equal that
of Patti or Kellogg,-and the dancing will,
no doubt, consent of chandelier kicking,
immense heads of hair, and loud display
of legs and muslin. We hear that, in
Peoria, this company exhibited what they
called representations of Adam and Eve
in the garden, ,oithOut euen fig leaf on.
The agent said he had engaged Darts
hall and also rooms at hotel, but what
hotel we have not learned. The city clerk
says no license has been issued. and that
Mayor Gait saysit depends on the decency
of their performance in, Davenport to-
night whether they will be permitted to
perform here at all. Wives will do well
to know where there husbands are on
Monday night.

Bloomington Bills.

Supervisor Todd on Wednesday fled
with the county clerk the receipt OF John
Biehl in full for music furnished the
Bloomington excursiouists- Supervisor
Todd and some of his brethren had actual.
ly gone down into their own pockets and
settled the musicians BILL Union, Mar 4.
! Four members of the band who played
on that occasion complaining that they had
not received cent, an ARGUS reporter
called on the county clerk to learn the facts
in the case. Neither Sup'r. Todd or any
body else has ''filed with the county clerk
the receipt of John Biehl in full or for any
sum at all. The clerk says that no receipt
has been 6led by anybody. He says that
Biehl presented bill for $25. and the
board refused to allow it. He then offered
to take $ls.and the board refused to allow
a cent He then said he thought it hard
case that he paid out $lO.in cash to Dav-
export men to play in his band that day.
Members of the board then, out of their
own pockets, made up purse Of $40 and
handed it to him, and he put his bill in his
pocket and left On inquiry of Mr.. Biehl,
he told the same story, and added that he
got nothing for his services; he got just
what he paid out and not cent more.r-
These are the stories of the clerk, and Of
Mr.. Biehl. IF there is any other side te
the matter, let it be shown up.
If Mr.. Biehl knows who employed The
band on that occasion, he has lega
claim against that man. or the men wht
hired him. Same of all others who hav,
unpaid bills. We doubt if the people o
the county can be made liable for sucl
sprees, any more than they could if tL'
board should appoint a committee to Blu.
Cuba, The people are liable for such act
of their agents as the law authorizes then
to perform, but no others.

Mr.. Potter, Of the Gazette, writes col
umn and half more of excuses for the
failure of Hennepin. He says the effort
to procure petitions asking for it was an ut
ter and lamentable failure" Why shouldn't
it oe,after the Gazette gave notice that the
Republicans could pass the bill? The
Hawley ring wanted to make little politi-
cal cspital-they cared more for that than
for the canal.
Mr.. P. says that Davenport raised on
ly about $500 to pay the expenses of pro-
perly presenting the measure to congress,
and that all the balance of the west only
raised about as much more. But he says:
I'VE received our death blow at the
hands of Mr.. Sawyer, of Wisconsin, who
was devoted heart and soul to the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers improvement, and who
plunged dagger into Hennepin with words
OF friendship for it on his lips"
Mr.. Sawyer is salary-grab Republican

Mr.. T. Yates, plumber, brought to our
Office, this morning, samples fof the taps
and lead pipe connections used on our
water mains, from which it seems that our
mains are not tapped directly upon the
top, but between the center aud the top,
generally little below the top. He says
the taps are the same as used generally
throughout the United States, unless it
may be in Davenport, he understands
that Mr.. Donahue hassgotten up pattern Of
his own, but he has not seen it. From the
published book of patterns of the taps
sold throughout the country it would seem
that they are all made on the same or
nearly the same angle. Mr.. Yates also
says that, in tapping the mains, the hole
must be bored at an angle that will allow
the water to clear the ditch when.
the drill is removed. IF bored so low that
the water will not clear the ditch it would
be impossible for a man to work in the hole
to drive the tap. He says that plumbers
are blamed because they do not place the
connection four feet or more below the
surface, but it is an impossibility, for the
reason that the mains are but little over
three feet below. Besides, if the mains
were tapped at the bottom the water would
not be as good He says, when the 1lli-
nois street main was bored at the Jeffer-
son street sewer to ascertain if it was
frozen, that three inches of sediment was
found at the bottom of the main, The
only sure remedy for all our woes iu the
water business is to lower the pipes below
the frost line of our severest winters.

After eight days hard labor Tina Riley
and his wife have been discharged. Mag
istrate pinkley, in rendering his decision,
said there were two main points at issue
in the case, as follows: z e<tsk =
First, whether. there was any such
crime committed as was charged: second,
whether Tim Riley aud Mary Riley were
the guilty parties.
As to the first, he said there was no
evidence to satisfy his mind that any one
at all had stolen $4,000 from Edward
Hainsworth in William Written saloon
on Saturday night, Feb. 81.
And secondly, there was no satisfactory
proof to show tL at the money Tim Riley
and Mary Riley had at Stodd's saloon that
night was the same that Hainsworth lost
or claimed to have had stolen from him.
Therefore he felt it bis duty, according to
the law and the evidence, to discharge
both Tin Riley and Mary Riley. -
There was a good deal of rejoicing
among those who sympathized with the
Rlleys. That Hainsworth lost the money
and that the money subsequently scattered
over the floor in Stodd's saloon was hi.
money, is pretty certain. But the mag
istrate did not think the evidence suffi
ciently positive to hold the Rileys for trial
They may still be indicted by the granc
|jury if the evidence will warrant it.
| Mr.. Hainsworth has not recovered {
ldollar of his money.

that the receipts of the road for the cor
responding month in the previous year
were ouer eighty-fve thousand dollars
showing falling of, during the last month,
of twenty-five Thousand dollars. We call
attention to ithis tact in order to show
that the German bond-holders who en-
ployed an agent to disturb Mr.. Cable made
fearful mistake. They were shown, by
Mr.. Joseph Gaskell, the agent at Frank
fort, by circulars, newspaper articles and
private interviews, that their only hope of
ever receiving dividend or Of maintain.
ing the road rested in the excellent man
agement of Mr.. Cable. He had secured
combinations for business which no other
man could secure he was popular with
all the patrons of the road, and his man.
agement showed the highest integrity and
energy. Had they stood by him and sus-
tanned him, their bonds would have had
some value, By the change they have
made their bonds nearly worthless. We
doubt 1t they will ever realize cents
on dollar for them. No better man could
probably have been secured for Receiver
than MIR, Ferry.-but the business anc
revenues which Mr.. Gable brought to the
road nobody but himself could hold, Tit
road does not get that business now, ane
it cannot get it. And without it the roat
cannot pay expenses. Half million o
