DROWNED.
Criminally Careless Navigation.


Mr.. Williams, the contractor on the
rapids improvement, has reason to COM
plain of criminally careless navigators, and
it is more than probable that those who
are at fault will be compelled to pay heavy
damages
Mr.. Williams has the U. s. contract for
removing certain rocks at Stubbs's Eddy,
opposite the Island of Rock Island, and a
Golfer dam is being erected there under
charge of Capt. Whitney, Mr.. Williams's
superintendent.
When the Alex Mitchell went up, On
Sunday morning, she struck the Golfer dam
and knocked out three sections of untitled
Golfer. 1t took all day to repair the dam
age,
At about $50 on Monday evening, the
steamer ]. w. Vansant came down push
ing log raft Of unusual size for the pres
ent stage of water. West Ranbo was
pilot. 1t cleared the north end ofthe con-
structed wing we'll enough, but after
swinging down the bend on the west side,
the head of the raft was pushed against
the end of the south wing, and played
havoc not only with the wing itself but
with human life. A number of men, EIGHT
or ten, were working on the dam, and as
the raft crashed against the wall Ave Of
them were carried into the water, two Of
whom were drowned. The names were
not known this morning. One was ayoung
Swede who had been hired that morning
and neither were known by those who were
saved.
The raft belonged to the Eau Claire
Lumber Co. Eau Claire, Wis.,, and was in
charge of Mr.. Robert Hunicke, agent Of
that company in st. Louis. Mr.. Hunicks
was at the Harper House last evening.
Navigators are aware of the letting O.
the contract for the river improvement anc
that the work has been commenced. L
has been published far and wide, and it i.
their business to know it, and their fault il
they run upon it.

MATRIMONIAL 1NFEEICITx.
Saddle-colored Babies.

A dirty piece of business has just come
to light in this city. The story is about
as folloaos: A German, named Oberstal-
Ter, a cooper, and now residing on the cor
ner of Buffalo and Commerce streets,
was married about II years ago to what
he thought was virtuous girl-but he
was disappointed. -Four children have
been the fruit of the union. The hus-
band had been married but short time
before he found that other men visited his
wife and at unreasonable hours. He re-
monstrated with her, but no change occur
red. He still continued to live with her,
hoping that she would change her ways
and be true to her marriage VOWS. She
kept on about the same and he finally be-
came partially oblivious to her ways, until
about a year ago. when she began to re-
ceive negroes at her house and to go to
dances and other places with them.
Among the children is daughter, about
Is years old, and the father says this child
would accompany her mother with negroes
that now she is as bad as her mother
The husband would order the negroes from
the house, but they would laugh at him,
and he says that one of them threatened
to kill him If ne interfered in his business.
About three weeks ago the wife suddenly
left, and went to Wilton, Scott county.
Iowa, and from there to Muscatine, where,
50 says the husband, she has given birth
to saddle colored child, and he says the
daughter, who is still here. is in fair way
of soon becoming a mother, too His cup
of bitterness is now full and he says he can
never live with the woman again, and that
he has only borne with her conduct this
long for the sake of his children.
Mr.. Oberstaller is said to be a steady
hard working man--but too easy and for.
giving. Most people would call him foo
for living with woman II years, knowing
her to be untrue to him.

Discharged.

j. W. S. Horne, of Moline. who has
been under $1,000 bonds for attempting
to pass counterfeit money, was up before
U. s. Commissioner E. D. Sweeney, to-
day, and by him discharged. The wit
nesses for the prosecution were Mrs. Nc
Greggor, Marshal Halves, Policeman An
krum. The defense produced a large
number of witnesses from Moline and Gen
eseo, as to previous good character, &c.,
&c, and the commissioner did not think
the evidence showed any guilty intent.
Hon. j. 7. Browning, appeared for the
prisoner and nobody for the people.
Horne may consider himself lucky. Next
time he gets stuck on a counterfeit note
he should put it in the fire.

Evading the Issue.


The Union, in its zeal to render town
ship organization unpopular, attempted to
make people believe that the system of
township organization was responsible for
the building of the Macoupin court house.
1t said: "1osoashap organization did not
prevent the Board Of Supervisors of Ma
coupin county from building a courthouse"
No, Of course it didn't, because it didn't
exist; but if township organization had
existed in Macoupin the enormous fraud
committed there, by board of three men,
could not have been perpetrated, THE
ARGUS showed that it did not exist; that
a board composed of three men committed
the outrage, and that a board of three
men is what the Union, Guyer, Quincy
Mcneil & Co., want in this county-prob-
ably for the same object. Most people
would naturally say that THE ARGUS put
the Union in chancery on that point, and
that there was nothing more to be said,
but for the Union to admit its untenable
position.
No so. The Union squirms over it and
tries to crawl out by saying that the sys-
tenn under which the people of Macoupin
were swindlcd is ''very different" from the
one it advocates. We say that, practically
it is the same. The only difference is
that the county judge is not mepa-
Der of the county commissioners
court, as was the case under the old con-
stitution, and that the commissioners hold
Office for three gears thus placing them
further away from the power of the ballot
box than the supervisors. The system the
Union, Guyer & Co., want is a system by
which, if once established, two men could
absolutely control the whole county
business, against the will of the entire PEG.
pie, and in spite Of them, for two years;
system so far removed from the people
that the ballot box could not reach the
board of commissioners so as to change it:
course or stop an outrage only once in two
years; system under which two mer
would always govern the business of ths
county, That is the system which per
petrated the outrage on Macoupin, ar
outrage which was sanctioned by Repub

Of nearly all the people of that county
That's the system the Union, Guyer, @

Serious Accident.

An accident occurred to a baggagemaster
on the P & RI railroad, by the name
Azel Bodinson, which may prove fatal.
As near as we could learn the facts, they
are about as follows; Bodinson was coup
ling the train that leaves here for Rock
Island at 80 NJ and as the cars came
together they were on curve, and Bodin-
son not noticing the situation, was caught
between the ends Of the cars as they came
together, and very badly squeezed. lie
was taken aboard of the train, and DIR. Ham
ilton summoned, who attended the iDjur-
ed man as we'll as could be done under
the circumstances.
The doctor went with the injured man
as far as Galva and when he left him to
return home he says he had recoyered
from the shock but seemed to be suffering
some pain. The injuries are internal and
it will take some days perhaps to ascer-
tain the extent of the injuries. This is
the third accident of a similar kind that
has occurred on the road. one Of which
proved fatal and the other one recovered
but was confined to his bed for number
Of weeks. Bodinson lives in Rock Island.

Probate Notices.

1t is necessary that weseall public atten.
ton to the fact that it is the right Of execu-
tors or administrators of estates to have
their probate advertising done in any news
paper in the county they wish. Several
notices of this kind have appeared in the
Union which we have reason to know the
executors and administrators prefer should
have appeared in The ARGUS. They
leave the matter with Guyer, the county
judge, or with Cook. the clerk, and. in the
absence of any directions, they give them
all to the Union Executors and admin
strators who want their notices published
in The ARGUS should attend to that mat
ter themselves, and not leave it to Guyer
or Cook, or to the lawyers employed! THE
ARGUS only asks fair play, but it can't get
it unless executors and administrators will
attend to the matter themselves. tt
