last night, by Policeman RiDebart, for be-
ing drunk and disorderly. They were
fined SIS each and costs. The former paid,
and was discharged, but the latter was

Fifth ward polls, yesterday. He was fined
S. and costs, $3.50. Paid IS and was dis
charged.
Ousley then complained on Clifford. and
he was arrested by Policeman Feeley and
taken to Jail, and this IL orning was fined S.
and costs. He paid S., and was released
on his promise to pay the balance this
afternoon.
Ousley was the man who started the
row, and struck the first blow. He wanted
Clifford to vote the Republican ticket, blu,
be would not. Ousley then called him Q
pretty hard name Clifford called hin

at least that's what one of Ousley's friends
say. Ousley will probably not interior,

River N ews.

The first boat off the season from south
ern waters, arrived yesterday. Something
that hasn't happened as early as the 7th
of March before in ten years. The stern
wheel steamer, Dan Hine, of the Keokuk
Northern Line, has the honor of this arri-
val, and Capt. 10. Sheppard the honor to
be the commander on the important occa-
sion. The Dan Hine arrived from Alton,
and was the first steamer to make the
lower rapids and the Keokuk bridge this
year. Her business here was the looking
after the Northern Line barges that win
tered in Rock Island slough and elsewhere
in this vicinity. She took two of them
down stream for some purpose, also three
car loads of plows FROM Buford's Pillow
Works, in this city.
The Louisa, a small tow boat, used last
season in towing sand barges, came ur
from the boat yard this morning.
The steamer Clinton was expected te
arrive here tomorrow, from below. but il
is now said that she cannot get over The
lower rapids.
The Minneapolis is expected here OF
Friday or Saturday, from St. Louis.
The river this morning was feet abov,
low water mark, rise of half foot sine,

The wharf boat will probably be brongh
up from the beat yard in few days. N
permission has been given by the counci
for it to remain at our ievee the comm,
season. The best place for it is at the ives
line Of Washington street.

Three or four hack drivers in this city
are getting ready to have their license re-
voked, and to pay smart fine. We sup
pose that is what they mean by their
tricks. If strangers who pay exhorbitant
charges to the drivers will only remember
the number of the hack, they can get their
money refunded very quick. Yesterday,
Mr.. Jas. M. Dalzell laid complaint against
driver named Thomas Wallen, for ex-
torting So from lady who hired him to
convey herself and children few squares
from the depot. And the driver came
down. refunded So, paid $l.S5 costs. aud
was discharged with a ringing reprimand.
The owners of hacks make nothing by dis
honest practices of the drivers who re
turn the legal fare and pocket the balance
as "perqs. Gazette.
Our city marshal has neglected to en-
force the ordinance of this city as rigidly
as be ought to have done, in relation t.
posting cards of rates and names o
drivers in the vehicles, The ordinance,
strictly enforced, is a sure preventive O

How the Butler Vote was Increased.

This morning several squads of negroes
were seen going to the ferry boat, for
Davenport, Iowa, and several other squads
going towards Moline. 1t is believed that
large numbers of votes for the Republican
ticket were secured yesterday through the
importation of negroes. The negroes all
look alike, and they can vote early and
often and under new name every time,
and not be easily detected.
The Democratic organization was very
imperfect-the work being voluntary and
without system.
A colored man from Big Island, Black
Hawk township, called Ben, was seen
going to the polls with Republican ticket,
and Gus. Stengle cautioned him not to
offer it. He rerlied: why. Marse Gus
dey dun tole me to cum in an vote -isn''
/ got de right oh freedom suffage?"
The 5th and LIST wards are where good
deal of this kind of work was done. Davis
and Carse were both elected by negroes.

On Saturday night fire broke out in
the pattern shop at Rock Island Arsenal,
doing considerable damage among the val
liable patterns there-especially those for
tho turbine water wheels for the water
power, to be used at the Arsenal. The
patterns had just been received from Ra-
cine. and were very large and valuable.
Three cars were required to bring them.
1t was intended to cast the wheels at the
Arsenal. The cause of the fire has not
yet been officially made known.

The increased vote, over last year is 4s2
There were 90 final naturalization papers
issued. This accounts for about 100 of
the increase. Does any man suppose there
has been an honest increase of over 800
voters in the city. outside of naturalization,
during the last year? The very general
belief is that negroes from out of town, and
other fraudulent voting did it.
