Caught and Punished.

The other day, just as Conductor Wal
rem Sutliff, of the Peoria Il Rock Island road
was pulling out from Princeville station,
he heard crash Of glass, Instantly he
pulled the bell to stop her" and jumped
off and ran back on the track ana caught
boy who had thrown stone through a
window Just as the train started. He took
the boy to his home, in the village, re-
ported what the little rascal had done, and
promised to let him off for the cost of re-
placing the glass, amounting to $3.50.
The boys father was glad to get off SO
cheap,-but he tanned that boys hide in a
manner that will cure him of such practices
in future,
Bad boys who hang around railroad
stations should be followed up promptly,
and punished. There is law of this
state Furnishing minors for being in OF
about railroad yards or stations, unless
they have business there, and station agents
should enforce it.
And all train men should promptly ar

tions and thus break up their lawles

On the 18th inst,a young woman named
Bridget Ryan, living at Sterling, Whitside
county, appeared before j. W.Alexander,
a justice Of the peace at that place, and
swore that "she is now pregnant with a
child, which is likely to be born bastard,
and that Adam McMullen is the father of
said child,' McMullen is cigar maker,
and he happened to hear of the complaint
and lit out" He first came to this CITY
and then went to Davenport. Word was
sent to our police to arrest him, and the
matter was placed in the hands of Police
man Brennan. Yesterday 1.-THE 29th)
Brennan went to Davenport and arrested
his man and brought him to this city. He
was kept in the maIshars office all night
and word sent to the officers at Sterling to
come after him, and this morning(t 3Oth)
one arrived. The Sterling officer refused
to have anything to do with the prisoner
until the train leaves for Sterling this
evening, and our officers were obliged tc
lock McMullen up in Jail. The prisoner
is only 20 years old, but rather a wild and
dissipated young fellow. He says be i.
willing to marry the girl, whose parent:
are said to be respectable and in good cir
cumstances,

The Pork Packing Business.

A convention of pork packers is to be
held at Keokuk next Thursday, the 4th.
to talk oyer matters connected with the
packing business, and to canvass the pros
poets for the forthcoming season. The
packers of this section are obliged to COM
pete with the packers of Chicago,St Louis
and other large cities. If they pay as
much or more for hogs than can be real
lied in those cities they get them, other
wise not, for shippers have every facility
for reaching any markets they choose, and
if they do not see fit to sell them at the
prices offered here they can ship them
through.
The outlook for the packing season is
said to be about as follows: The crop, as
to numbers, is estimated at about Is per
cent below last year, In view of this,
and the abundant corn crop, it is antici-
pated that farmers will hold their hogs fol-
high prices, and that the season will in
consequence be backward. This will, how
ever, tend to increase the average weigh
of tie animals.

A Weak headed Creature,

Wednesday evening stranger attended
the prayer meeting at Central Presbyterian
church who was either drunk or crazy, land
who succeeded in winning the symp ithy of
all present. Whenever anyone made a
point in speaking he would exclaim,
"Amen." He borrowed Mr.. NJ B,
Osborn's spectaclcs, but did not use them.
He was good singer, having rich and
strong bass voice. At the close Of the
meeting, when Rev. Mr. Findlay was
making some announcements, the stranger
arose and asked if there was any objection
to his making few remarks. There was
none, and he proceeded to talk for abnut
Is minutes. He said his maine was james
Culbcrt; that he was a halter from
Milwaukee; that he had been man of
sin and had led wild life for
25 years; that he had always been Il
drunkard; that he wanted to reform
and join the church, and asked the congre-
CATION and the minister to pray for him.
He talked like man having some education
and one who had seen better days. Mr..
Findlay offered a very appropriate prayer
in his behalf, and after the meeting was
dismissed the members gathered around
the stranger and spoke words of encour-
agement to him. He was given in charge
of Deputy Marshal Kimball, who was pres
ent at the meeting, and taken to the mar
shals Office to lodge. About IL o'clock he
asked for something to eat, and on being
told that all the restaurants were closed, he
began to curse and swear and make a gener
al nuisance of himself until morning, using
the arshars Office for purpose not au
thorized by law or custom. He. vas kicked
out and has not been seen since.

THE ROCKFORD ROAD IN COURT
Some Old Claims to be Passed Upon.

The Chicago journal of last evening,
has the following: '--
Judge Drummond is hearing an extended
argument to-day on the latest complications
in the affairs of the Rockford, Rock Island
and St Louis Railroad Company, The
road has already been sold out under a
mortgage, but since the sale number of
persons and companies holding claims for
rolling stock and supplies have come into
court and made claim for the amounts
due them, and alleging that their claims
are lien on the property of the road prior
to the MORTGAGES, and that the sale does
not affect them. as they were not in court
under the foreclosure proceedings. The
matter was referred 70 the Master some
time ago, and to mis- report. finding that al
the property of the road was subject tc
the mortgage lien, these claimants have
excepted. The exceptions are being argu
ed BY Judge Trumbull, for the present
owners Of the road, and by j Ohm n. Jewet
and Mr.. Osborn, of Rock Island, for thu
claimants.

The Meanness of Davidson's Manage.
ment,

The Meanness of Davidson's Manage
ment,
Yesterday we briefly gave the news of
the commencement of suit by Davidson,
of the Keokuk- Northern Line Packet
Company, against the people of this city
to recover back all the money the boats
had paid for wharfage. For years the city
has expended money in grading and repair
ing the leyee and in putting in ring bolts,
for the safe landing and accommodation of
steamboats,, charging a wharfage of only
one dollar for landing and use of levee and
ring bolts, and expending the money on the
levee for the benefit of the boats. The
city also gave the packet company the free
use of a place for its wharf boat and stor-
age warehouse.
And now Davidson sues the people of
this city to recover back the little bit Of
wharfage tax.
We hope that every citizen will make
Davidson aware of public opinion here, by
refusing to ride on his boats or to ship any
thing on them, and encourage the boats
which do not resort to such meanness as
the Davidsons haye been guilty of.
