The Gazette of this morning says:
About ten o'clock Thursday night, a
hack driver attempted to outrage the
person of woman whom he was convey
ing to this city from Rock Island. Her
husband had not the money with which
to pay two fares, and so sent his wife for
ward in the hack. 1t was about the cen
tire of the bridge that the assault occurr-
ed. The woman managed to get out of
the door, which was open-and fly to the
south end of the bridge, while the
driver came on to Davenport. She met
her husband at the south end, and both
hurried forward in hopes of overtakipg
the hack, and having the north guard ar
rest him-but they weren't quick
enough, This is the story told the
guard at the Davenport end, by the wife
and husband. Both refused to give their
name, the husband saying it was bad
enough without the name, They didn t
know the number of the hack.
The law in regard to number, owner,
and driver of hacks and rates of fare has
never been enforced in this city, and no
city officer seems to care whether it is or
not. Have those whose duty it is to en-
force the law any good reasons for neg
lecting their duty? They are sworn to en-,
force all the laws, When people see a
city officer oblivious to the enforcement OF
laws he has taken an oath to enforce,
they don't always attribute the neglect to
an honorable reason.

a Right Decision.

The decision of the Medical Association
that the hydrant water is the probable
cause of the prevailing epidemic will be Of
great advantage to the business of Rock
Island, for the reason that people will now
not be afraid to come here for fear Of TAX
ing an atmospheric disease, or disease
arising from something within the water
district of Rock Island which medical men
could not discover. People can avoid the
use of the water, which, within a year,
has been so fearfully impregnated with
the vastly increasing sewage. But if it
was an atmospheric disease, confined to the
water district of Rock Island, or proceeded
from some hidden and mysterious cause
which the medical profession could not
discover it would deter people from com,
ing here at all, and would cause those who
are here to sell out and get away as fast
possible, The business men and property
holders owe thanks to the Medical Assocl-
alton for its decision.
The other decision, too, in relation Il
locating pumping works or procuring wa
ter supply for a city from point contain
mated with sewage also will command uni
versal respect. How any man could vote
against that is more than we can divine.

stating that the murderer of Brock in that city, it
also reported that Sheriff Harrison had gone to take HIM
into custody The Of the sheriff from the city in
Washington the apparent secrecy by officials at
the Courthouse and JAIL and the protestaons OF inno-
cence OF the condemned men, led many to believe the
rumor III several places groups of men, principally OF
the lower classes. were heard discussing the SUD-
jeet and expressing disapproval OF the course
pursued against Oschwald and Ryan. lnvestiga-
ton, however shows that no such dispatch was
received Deputy Sheriff Freeman said to the reporter
