VERY CRAzY.-Tuesday afternoon
Sheriff Maynard and Jailor Symonds
brought from Louden chap who
was very crazy. 1t seems he ar
rived there by train Saturday, and
first attracted attention by riding
some mans horse out of town on the
Jump. He.was pursued, and when
captured and put in the calaboose
was found to be raving crazy
breaking everything he could reach,
that would break, and concluding by
tearing off and into shreds every
stitch of his clothing. The officers
had hard time getting him down
here. His hands were handcuffed
behind him, but he used his feet
vigorously. One man who was about
to sit down in the seat before him
received q kick in the back which
mixed him up with the stove in the
corner of the car rather promiscuous.
ly. His attempts to escape or to do
damage to somebody or something
we're constant and unremitting; and
after placing him in the Jail here he
at once proceeded to smash anything
breakable that had been left in the
cell. There is no clue to his home,
and none to his name except letter
addressed to James G. Coleman
which was in his possession.

THAT Slow RALRoAD.--After
quite long silence the Clinton Age
of last week contains quite lengthy
article in regard to the Chicago,
Clinton & Western Railway--our old
Southwestern. The Ages article APP
pears to have been called out by an
item in the Conservative Of two weeks
ago, which it publishes, as it says, to
correct its Measurements. And, by
the way, it occurs to us that in criti-
csing the slow progress Of this pro-
ject, it would be but fair to remem-
Der that the past three or four years
have not been a railroad building era
in Iowa, nor elsewhere in the West,
and to look about and see where
during the same time any similar en-
terprise has met with better success.
But our object was to quote from the
Clinton Age, whose editor Mr.
Thayer, is the Receiver of the road
The Age says:
In the first place this waiting until
the 9th instant for the application of
the Receiver to build the road, to be
heard, is not the action of the Re.
ceiver or Mr.. Hinckley. The first
hearing was in this city before Judge
Hayes, on Saturday, the Gath day OF
June, and the issuance Of the order
was strenuously opposed by Geo. J,
Boal and Rush Clark, both directors
of the road and both attorneys for a
portion of the company. The hear
ing was postponed until the following
Tuesday at Davenport. Now had
the order been granted on Saturday
We knoac that by this time the line
would have been covered with men
and tracklaying would have been go.
ing on probably at two points.
1t is for Mr.. Hinckley's interest tc
have the road pushed ahead at once
He has some 100000 locked up ir
its construction. No one else has 9
dollar in it. His investment is of ne
use to any one unless the road i.
built to Iowa City and westward
Now how foolish for any individua
to say that Mr.. Hinckley favors thi
delay.
But while we are upon this subjec
we might add the sequel as far as
is known. The hearing at Daven
port was continued to the 9th in
slant, with the understanding that i
the Receiver could show his abilit,
to procure material to construct tn
road, the case might be brought VI
Ut an earlier day. The Receiver Wis

CENTENNIAL TEsTs.-The Times
(Chicago) correspondent gives long
account of tho trial of reaping and
moving machinery at the Philadel-
adelphia Worlds Fair. We copy:
The moving tests were uncommonly
varied and severe: including among
other features the cutting OF grass over
which ponderous roller had been
driven. There was small thunder sto rms
two days Of the moving trial, and my
farming readers can judge how happy n
time it must have been for most of the
machines TO endeyor to cut drcnchcd
grass which had been smashed fiat to
the ground under a heavy roller. 1t
was pleasant, however. to note that the
pioneer and chicftain of mowers has its
own way in this exacting test just as it
has had for a quarter Of a century in
the past. The Walter A. Wood now
crs sliced the wet mashed grass tight to
the ground, and made as clean q job of
the undertaking as though they had
been cutting the thinest, dryest, and
straightest Of hay. All of the other
moving tests were met and disposed of
by the Wood machines with alacrity and
to the complete satisfaction of jurors
and spectators.
need not dilate upon the continued
brilliant triumphs the Walter A. Wood
reapers. They but repeated the happy
victories of the past, and their inventor,
the man who taught Europe the fact
that the scythc AMI the sickle must be
relegated to oblivion had the satisfaction
Of personally Witnessing the enthusiasm
evoked at the latest best evidence of his
machines supremacy. But the grand
interest of the harvester trials seemed to
cling about the exhibitions of binders.
The wheat was cut even, swift and
clean, and every wisp of it was bound
into bundles of uniform size, the com
pleted shcayes beng tossed disdainfully
aside, with never bundle missed, as
though the machine regarded the task
as the mercst of chiid's play. 1t was a
sweeping, unequivocal success, and
hearty cheers from everybody attested
the general delight and satisfaction. The
Walter A. Wood binder was acknowl-
edged to be the browning triumph of
genius in the manufacture OF agricultu-
raj machines.

Reapers and Binders are for sale by

tied Chicago, obtained propositions
for large amount Of material to be
paid for with Receivers certificates,
and at once notified all parties inter
ested, that in accordance with the
agreement at Davenport, the hearing
would be had earlier than the 9th,
and that the 10th inst had been fixed
upon as the time, and at Cedar Rap
ids the place agreed upon.
So on Monday the 10th inst, the
parties came together at Cedar Rap
ids. Messrs. Boal and Clark were
there. They at once denied there
was any such agreement to 90 into
hearing. In this denial we have no
doubt these gentlemen were consci-
entious, because there might be
question as to the clear understand
ing of the terms of the adjournment
at Davenport. So Of course under
these circumstances, it was not pru-
dent to urge hearing, but the day
was spent in trying to agree upon an
order which should be satisfactory to
everybody. But this was not done,
aud the case goes over until the 2.th
inst.
We must confess we have our mis-.
givings about going ahead with the
work this season II the Receiver is TO
have his hands tied until the 2sth
inst. Still il the order shall be grant
ed at that time, the Receiver will
make the most strenuous efforts to
con struct the road to Iowa City this
year.
We do not question the sincerity
oe Mcssrs. Boa! and Clark and the
Iowa City directors generally, in the
course they are pursuing. They are
as anxious to have the road built as
Clinton or Upton can be. And it is
the great interest they take in the
project, and their extreme anxiety to
have it built and not abandoned, hat
prompts them To take the course
they do. We believe that before
the 9th instant they will become so
well satisfied that there is no du-
pllcity or trickery, directly or indi-
rectly, designed by either Mr.. Ilnck-
ley, the Receiver, or the Clinton and
Upton interest, but that the order
granted will lead to the building of
the road, that all opposition will be
withdrawn, and the order issued by
common consent. To push this pro-
ject ahead now, would cause our city
and the country along the entire line
to jump square into prosperity such
as has never before been witnessed.
The starting of the work would be
the signal for commencing the bridge
for putting in the gap in the river
road, and for the commencement of
the Lafayette, LaSalle & Clinton
road.

A YOUNG FLOOD was that which
poured down from the willing clouds
a week ago last Sunday, but they
dropped a considerably older and
larger one on Friday night last. Sun
days fall, as evidenced by the rain
gauge carefully noted by DIR. May
nard, was 81 inches, while that of
Friday night reached ADJUST half
inch heavier. AS all this water fell
in comparatively few no IRIS, the re-
suit was regular deluge which did
a great deal Of damage. So far as
we are able to learn, none of the
later built and better class of county
bridges were destroyed, but great
many Of the old bridges over smaller
streams were swept away, as were
also many fences and some other
property. The Stanwood- Upton
railway track was so undermined
along the creek that it required hard
work on the part Of the entire force
here to accomplish perilous passage
by Saturday evening; and there was
no end of trouble on the main line,
where trains are by this time hardly
Strengthened around. Rock Creek
was higher than has been known
since 1851, and swept out at least
one mill dam in this county. TRAY
cling Saturday was troublous. Chas.
Fraseur, while attempting to cross
the creek on the north Iowa City
road, slipped off the embankment,
and while the wagon-box drifted
down against the fence with the men
in it, his young and spirited team
scrambled out minus everything but
the fore wheels and ran clear to town
bringing Up on the top of one Of
Charley Moffett's corn plows, which
now looks very much like subjec,

Day acting as Umpire. Upton was
sent to bat, and at the end Of their
half the inning time was called on
account of the rain, leaving them
seven runs in for starter. After a
half hours waiting, the game recon-
meneed on muddy slippery grounds,
and progressed to the middle Of the
fifth inning, when the rain again in
terfered and play was given up
score standing Il to 2 in favor Of
Upton. The Clarence nine play well
and behave like gentlemen; and had
the weather been favorable the game
would have been close and interest
ing. Better luck next time.
