The destructive floods of a few weeks age
are being repeated. The Danube commenced
rising again on the 9th, and dispatch from
Pesth says: an five small townships along
the Danube SCI houses collapsed, from the
18th to the 9th inst, in consequence OF the
foundations being damaged by floods. In
Pesth and Its suburbs 1t is impossible to
count the houses ruined. Four hundred
square miles of winter corn have been lost to
Hungary The foundations Of the houses in
Buda Pesth are undermined. If the inunda-
ton lasts huge blocks of splendid houses
must fall. On March Sth, the large island of
Czepel, below Pesth, containing five villages,
was submerged, all the houses except 10
being swept away"

This morning she was brought up, when it
was shown by evidence that about two
weeks ago she went into the Island saloon,
kept by Charles Buncher) in company
with friend" and the two took supper.
After supper, and as they were preparing
to leave. Fanny could not resist the temp

who was sewing at the honse. The shawl
was afterwards taken from her by Mr.
Buncher, over the river. Fanny, who is
only 81 years of age, says her friend took
the shawl by mistake. She was held in
$500 bonds for appearance at the next
term of circuit court. This is her second
offense since September. She is now in

Gas va Gasoline.

Our. aldermanic neighbors in Rock Is
land have periodical explosions on the gas
question, 10 which they exhibit themselves
as of a purely gaseous nature. Two or
three months ago they took the bull by
the horns only to let 90 again and sub
side to the good ways of old. A travelling
Spectator dropped in upon the board with
a proposition to enlighten them and tighten
the city fat prices worth grabbing for,
The board grabbed and the Spectator
fed. Another advocate of light now en-
cages their attention. He proposes to
turn the darkness Of night into the sun
light of day, by means of gas made from
gasoline by piece of machinery called the
Watkins portable, self-acting, smoke
consuming, oxygen-devourlnging gas
attachment. He proposes to lead the
blind at the rate of $25 per lamp per year.
Having due regard for the tidal influences
of the moon his offer is based upon the
condition that the moon appear according
to the almanac programme, Now these
experimental ventures are all right-for
the manufacturers of machinery but our
conclusion is that until they are something
more than experiment it is better to at
tend to legitimate municipal business and
stick to the city gas works. Moline Re
Uieao.
This good sensible talk. Our alder
men are not easily fooled, They have an
investigating turn of mind and are willing
to look at all the new-fangled traps, but
they have never been known to invest a
cent of the peoples money in one Of them,
There may be good deal of gas about
them, but it amt gasoline gas-it is the
genuine article of coal gas, the only safe
and reliable light. They are not disposed
to encourage the formation of a home
company to buy a lot of lamps on ar
experiment, and allow the vendor to skip
out and leave the stockholders to face q
cheated and humbugged people. Oul
aldermen are willing to look at the show
but when it comes TO using the peoples
money on an experiment, when we already
have a certainty, they are not likely to b.
fooled in that way If they will increase
the number of gas lamps to 200 or 25(
they can get large reduction in the
price.

To the Editors of The Rock Island Argus:
True Statement.

Inasmuch as grossly false statements
have been made concerning the Rev. JOS
ephus Collins. pastor of the Milan NJ. E..
church, to the effect that, during his
Princeville domestic infelicities be procur-
ed a confession from his wife, of her inf
deity, upon his pledge of forgiveness, and
that he violated said pledge, using her
confession in court to secure his divorce,
and that for this conduct bis conference
had passed a vote of ceHsure upon him, /
desire to say, to those interested, that this
is all false, and should be speedily cor
rected.
A plea of promised forgiveness was set
up, in the divorce trial, but the court de-
cided that it was not sustained. The fol-
lowing are some of the deliverances of the
court: THE evidence fails to satisfy toe
court that during the time they remained
in their home, now desolate, there was any
act on his part which compromised his
right to insist on decree from the court. y
IF he had done less thanshe did do, be
would be called unnanly and cruel. y
''The court does not think that state oil
facts has been shown in evidence which
constitutes, in law. cocdonence or for
giveness.
1t was shown that her statements or con-
fessions of gnilt were made to other par
ties as well as to Mr.. Collins, and in NJ
way can it be construed as having been
obtained by promise of forgiveness.
And it is not true that, for this or any
cause. Mr. Collins has been censured by
his conference. He has never been cen
sured, and STANDS before his church to day
as free from real or implied guilt as any
man. He is moving on pleasantly in his
pastoral work in Milan. His people have
improved t1 s PARSONAGE larson s;ot adding many
