of Highways.
| There was meeting of the Commits
sioners of Highways, at the office of the
town clerk. this Thursday morning, at II
o'clock.
The Pleasant Valley road was the prin
cipal business before the meeting, and was
pretty thoroughly discussed. 1t was
agreed to pay Hunt $500 and build cul
vert; also to pay Britton $500; nothing
was done in the Deere claim. The whole
subject was finally continued until Satur-

Tire in Deeres P1ow Works
This morning, about o'clock, there was
a small blaze in the grinding room of
OF Deere Il Co.'S. pillow works, caused By a
spark from the emery wheel catching the
dust in the refuse pipe. The factory hose
was brought into reQuisition aud the fire
quenched before it gained Roadway. Con-
siderable excitement was caused among
, the employees of the pillow works, but the
fire was so promptly subdued, and 50 quiet
~ managed, that very few outside knew of
its occurrence. Had the flames once got
under Roadway, d serious conAagration
might have been the result; besides de-
priving large number of men of the means
Of support, at a season of the year when
employment is not easily obtained The
pillow works has fire apparatus for use in
, such emergencies, but had the fire once
r got started it is question whether the
flames could have been checked before
doing immense damage. The city Of Mo-
line has had several narrow escapes recent
, ly, and should have better protection in
case Of FIRE, At present our facilities are
far from being sufficient for the protection
; Of the large interests centering here.

II The administration CT the law by A. F
d Swander gives perfect satisfaction thu:
far, besides making the court self sustain
ing. lie makes most excellent and i'm
u partial police magistrate, and his iru
D, course has had the effect Of keeping the
e, rough element Of Moline in proper sub
lection. 1t is time that the law defyins
class of the community were taught tina
+ they cannot, with impunity, take the Law
e into their own hands. 1t is to be hope(
7. that Magistrate Swander will continue tt
O deal out justice without rebate until tn
: rOughs are forced to obey the law in all it.
