Railroad Excitement in Davenport.

There's big excitement in Davenport
to-day, because the G. r. !. & p. R. r.
Go. has some 200 men at work laying a
track along the river bank above the
bridge. When the right of way was grant
ed by Davenport to the M. 4 Nj. r. r.
many years ago, it included ground not
occupied by its successor, the &. K. l. u
2. but which they had right to occupy
whenever they saw fit. Now that the
people have voted to bring in the d. 4 St.
?. over that line. the G. r. l. & P. pro-
poses to occupy the ground granted to it
before any other road gets possession Of
it, and we hear that some 200 men are at
work laying track and will continue until
the ground they nave a right to use shall
be occupied. Also that large number
Of people are watching the work, and that
there is some danger of collision between
the railroad and the city officials.

Voted the Tax.

At an election in Davenport on Satur-
day it was voted to raise $50, 900, which in
addition to private subscriptions, will bring
the D.& ST. P. r. r. into town. The
road strikes the river at Spring street, in
East Davenport, some 10 or II blocks
above Renwick' s mill, and runs weston the
river bank, nearly the whole length of the
town, to Warren street, seven blocks be-
low or west Of the, ferry landing The
Gazette says:
The work will be commenced very soon.
The work of repairing the grade made
three yeers ago from Pine Hill to Summit
avenue in East Davenport will be com
menced this week The right of way from
Spring street west to Warren street
wherever it crosses private property will
have to be secured and the proper survey
made before grading west from the trestle
work east Of Spring street. This will re-
quire from eight to ten days. It's believ
ed by manager Henry that ears viii be
running to Warren street by the first Of
November. The railroad must be finished
to that point before the company can claim

on Saturday.

It Was a Mistake TO Invite Hawley

from TIE DdCenp0Tt Democrat, goth.
The Republican managers made a great
mistake in inviting Jno. B. Hawley, and
they feel mortified over it. As political
teacher, they consider him fraud and
failure. The next speaker they import
from abroad, they will take good care to
to find out whether he is an eulogist of
Grant and his thieving, corrupt admins
tration before they allow him TO speak.
He is the only Republican speaker who
has had the brazen-faced courage to de-
lberately insult Republicans themselves
by an eulogy of Grant and his admins
tration, and he was very properly snub-

A Bold Attempt to Rob p. L. Cables
House,

On Saturday evening. about 9 o'clock,
as Miss Lucy Cable was passing through
the main hall, up one fight of stairs, on
her way to her room, she stopped at a
wardrobe which stood in the hall to hang
up cloak, and in running her hand into
the wardrobe to find hook, she ran it
against man standing there.
She screamed. the man jumped out
running against her and knocking
her over in his efforts to escape, ran
down stairs and got out of the house, be-
fore the alarm was heard Several gentle
men were in the library, below, and it is
greatly to be regretted that they did not
