A Rock Islander Picked up in Chicago
by Bunko Men.

Recently. Mr.. r. H. Pease, of the Etna
Coal Co., resident of this city, was 10
Chicago, and was accosted on the street by
a genteel individual as Judge Perkins,
Mr.. Pease informed him of his mistake,
some pleasant conversation ensued, during
which the fellow learned his name and resi-
dence, and politely withdrew. In few
moments he was accosted by another fel-
low by his right name, and inquiries were
made about things in Rock Island A
pleasant chat followed, the fellow claiming
to be brother of P, L. Mitchell, the bank
er. This was passport to Mr.. Pease' s
confidence, and many inquiries were made
about Mr.. Mitchell. The fellow said he
had been much in foreign countries and
was then on his way to Rock Island to visit
his brother, and remarked that while 10
New York he bought ticket in the Ia
vana lottery, and had just learned that il
had drawn considerable prize, and he
was on his way to the office to receive his
money. Would Mr.. Pease be so kind as to
walk down with him? He would; ana they
started, out Mr.. P. says that on the way
he saw a policeman on the opposite
side of the street and request
ed the fellow to wait moment while he
spoke to his friend with the blue coat and
brass button. Dir. Mitchell's brother took
to his heels and hasn't been seen since ly
Mr.. Pease.
BY the way-this reminds us of an ad
venture of Dick Eggleston, grandson Of
Mr.. Pease; Dick was on his way to New
York, the first Of last January, to take 4;
position of bookkeeper in hardware store
where he now is. and he stopped in BufTa
10. He registered at hotel, and while
there he was at table writing letteI
home, and had laid his wallet on the tabl,
| (carelessly) after taking out a postag,
stamp A thief seized it and ran, ant
Dick after him. Dick is a modest boy ,ant
not known as one who would be likely t,
attack anybody-but he had $G0iu tina
wallet, didn't know anybody in Buffalo
and hadn't another cent Of money. Thi
made him run desperately. He caugh
the fellow, knocked him down, and recov
cred his wallet only to be arrested by
policeman for highway robbery, the THE
supporting the charge, Dick finally per
suaded the Cop to go to the hotel will
him, where he found his name on the reg
lister, and the corresponding name in gil
on his wallet, and was Unidentified by tn,
hotel clerk. He showed good grit in fight
ing for his lost wallet

then Miss FL, turned him across the bench
face downward. and gave him such an I'm
merclful beating that he carried marks of
it for two weeks, as was proven by witness
es in court. Mr.. Murtough Kelly. the
father of the boy, had notified Mr., GRECO
Try and Miss Healy, 10 writing, before this
last whipping, that he did not wish his bov
to be whipped, as he had been punished
severely before, and that if he disobeyed
the rules of the school he wished the teach
er to send him home and he would attend
to him. The plaintiff claimed that, by the
law, Miss Healy had no right to punish
the child in the manner she did, but that
she should have expelled him, as the au-
thority delegated to her by the boys pa
rents in sending him to school had been
Withdrawn from her in the letter sent by
Mr.. Kelly. 1t was also proven that Miss
Healy had inflicted more severe punish
ment upon the little boy than, under the
law. even a parent is allowed to inhict-
and that any parent who inflicted such a
punishment would be liable to prosecution
tor extreme cruelty.
The defense acknowledged the seyereity
OF the punishment, but claimed it was the
custom IN Moline to inflict corporal punish
ment IN their schools, and that it was al
lowed by the board of directors.
Justice Pinkley, who has been teacher
himself, and as severe as Miss Healv. too
decided that the boy got no more blow,
} than he deserved. and that she had done
right, and she was discharged.

The Reconstructed Central Presbyter-
ian Church.

On the evening of the 18th. of Septem-
Der last, the Presbyterian church in this
city was demolished by fearful storm.
and the fine organ completely destroyed.
A contract was very soon let to Mr.. John
Walk to reconstruct the house on an en-
tirely new plan. putting on the roof and
finishing the basement at once, so that
meetings could be held in the lecture room
during the winter. The walls of the main
building we're cut down few feet, the
windows enlarged, an alcove built on the
north:end for desk and choir, and the old
gallery at the south end removed The
roof is very strong, and being finished
upon the frame underneath leaves the
hight of the room greater than before the
accident Over the front doors are built
brick projections to cover the steps; the
old and dangerous stone steps are removed,
and wide wooden steps occupy their place,
the ascent being easy and under cover.
A massive tower (rather too low in the
centre for graceful appearance) surmounts
the belfry elegant stained glass windows
take the place of the old ones, and the
outside of the house IS neatly painted
The inside is handsomely frescoed, and i:
lighted by two huge sun burners, depend
ing from the ridge of the roof. By build
ing the alcoye on the north end room was
secured for some 20 pews more thanh the
old church. 1t will seat $50 people with
out crowding and 200 more by extra seats
In the basement is large lecture room
two smaller rooms for library, and for in
FAINT classes,-and fine kitchen, supplied
with a large cook stove, tables. and every
convenience for festivals. Also furnac
rooms, for warming the whole house. Or
the whole, the members of the society car
congratulate themselves on having fine
large and comfortable church, with more
than room enough for all the Presbyterian
in the city.
The work was done by Mr.. John Walk
one of our most enterprizing and Thorough
contractors. The frescoing by Mr. A Il
Getz, of Princeton.
!, The pews are nearly ready to put in
and all the other work is completed.
On Friday evening, of this week, befor
the pews are put in, the society will hol
! grand promenade concert and festival, t
5 which they respectfully invite everybody
The house will be brilliantly lighted, an
the sight will well repay visit.

The Jail.

Our citizens who take any interest in
the welfare of prisoners, and who knew
the condition in which the Jail has former
ly been kept, will be interested in knowing
that it is now in the neatest possible order.
Every part of it has been scrubbed, cleaned
and whitewashed, and it is as sweet and
healthy, 10 every room and hall, as soap
and water and lime can make it, Sheriff
auesing and his assistants have taken un-
wearied pains to make it as healthy and
comfortable for the prisoners as possible.

Railroad Eating Houses.

Powerfully bad are the eating
houses on nearly all railroads in this country
More horrible cooking, insufficient time for
eating, and worse attention from servants
can not be found in any country claiming
to be civilized and refined people. Only
one or two places redeem the long dead
level of horrible railroad eating houses
where hungry passengers are robbed and
choked off with mouths full of unmastica-
ted, poorly cooked food. Marshall, Mich.
and Altoona, Pa, are the green spots in
this desert of indigestable, unpalatable
food. 1t seems to us that it would be a
popular thing for railroad managers to
make their eating houses an attraction.
their cooking of the very best and the
nearest to domestic cooking possible, and
to see that their passengers had time to
eat and that they are charged reasonable
rates.
The G. r. |. & P. is rich and popular
company, has splendid line of road, and
has always had the reputation of honest
and intelligent management. Not a drop
of water was ever put into its stock, and
no defalcations, frauds, or bad manage
ment were ever charged against the compa-
ny. This speaks well for its management
and for its chief man, Mr.. Tracy, who
has controlled it so many years, aud who
we hone, will live to be it's honored hpa 4
for years to come. But the ompany has no
one good eating house on its whole line, and
some of them are in the wrong places. Ar
opportunity is now offered, here, to get ar
eating house that would be as popular {
card for the road, as Altoona CT Marshall
We hope it will be improved.

A. Chance for Police Distinction.

Most people remember the robbery of
Mr. Latham Woods, of Toulon, some time
ago, by some Williams who entlced him into
an alley back of the post-ofice one night,
and robbed him of $3.50 in money and his
watch and chain. Marshal Mitsch recov-
cred the watch aud chain ard $35 of the
money the same night, and got one of the
fellows in Jail. jim Buckley, then driver
of one of Carse & Lamont's mineral water
wagons, was the principal in the affair and
he, as we are told, escaped with most OF
the money and has not been seen here
since, until lately. He is now said to be
about town and the associate of bad lot
of young men. Why don't the police ar
rest him for the robbery of Woods?
