Important Lumber Suit.

The lumber men of this city and neigh
boring places are endeavoring to induce
Hon. Hiram Price of Davenport, to pro-
coed to Washington TO use his influence
with the attorney general, to have the
government withdraw as plaintiff in a
certain important suit begun by the gov
eminent and mill owners of Wisconsin
against the Mississippi River Logging Com
pany, and other parties interested in log
ging, with the view to have log driving on
the Chippewa river prohibited, on the
ground that it is an obstruction to naviga-
ton. Weyerhauser & Denkman, Keator
a. Co., Anawalt, Denkman 4 Co., and the
Davenport and Moline mills are members
of the Mississippi River Logging Co.. and
are therefore directly interested, though
all the lumber manufacturers of tie Upper
Mississippi are concerned, as the closing of
the Chippewa would leave only the Black
and st. Croix Rivera from which logs
could be obtained, the result of which
would be that they would increase about
fifteen per cent. in price. The suit is
therefore of much moment to this vicinity,
for upon its outcome depends largely the
welfare Of our lumber interests here,

Iust,ce for James Timmons.

In THE ARGUS of Wednesday even
ing appeared an account, without
comment, of the examination of Mrs.
Lizzie Timmons as to that woman's sanity,
and the verdict of the jury that she was
perfectly sane. The Unaon and Gazette
attempted to ridicuie her husband, and
blame him for demanding that an exami-
nation be made. This was unjust to Mr..
Timmons.
James Timmons has been living for
some time in the upper part of the city, on
the bluff. He has always been considered
an honest, straightforward man; he's been
and is now employed in responsible posi-
ton at Rock Island Arsenal; has always
provided well for his family; is well
spoken of by his neighbors, and the only
fault he has is that, sometimes he drinks
a little too much. But this, it is claimed,
is wholly due to the conduct of his wife,
who. if what responsible citizens say is
true, and there is no cause to doubt them,
she is a perfect spit-fre-giving him, at
no time, any peace while at home, and, if
anything, driving him away, to find more
agreeable mates-in the saloons, She had
frequently made the remark that she be
lieved she was going crazy"-and as her
increased abuse indicated that she was
not the loving wife which she had sworn tc
be-Mr. T. did not think but what she
had at last told the truth. Hence the ex,
animation. Since the jury returned the
verdict that she was sane, Mr. Timmons
has been boarding in Davenport, and, it il
said, will not again live with his wife
From all accounts, Mr., Timmons appears
to be quiet, inoffensive man, and it is t
be regretted that he is mated to such ;
high tempered disagreeable woman a:
Mrs. T. is represented to be.

The Boat Club.

This evening there will be a meet
ing to further consider the propriety of
forming boat club. Thus far all attempts
to successfully complete an organization
appear to have failed-at least nothing
definite has been accomplished. There is
certainly material enough in Rock Island
to organize first class club and if proper
effort is made it can be done. Either from
lack of means or interest, or from want of
proper leadership, the project has not
been canvassed as thoroughly as it should
have been, and it now behooves our young
men to go to work in earnest. Its not
very creditable to Rock Island that her
sister cities take the lead in all matters Of
this kind and speaks poorly for thesenergy
of our young men If the successful forma.
ton of boat club is not secured.
1t Is to be hoped that those who are in.
terested in this healthy sport will ac
promptly and not procrastinate until the
opportunity will have passed. This city
is not behind in other matters and there
is no good reason why it should b(

accident occurred was in sharp bend of
the river, and there is therefore some ex.

ones, not seeing each other until too late
to avoid the collision. AT the time of the
accident many of the passengers on the
Minneapolis had retired to their state
rooms, while others were enjoying them
selves dancing and when the boats struck
there was the widest excitement, as many
supposed the boiler had exploded-as the
roar of the escaping steam was deafening.

water, within fifteen minutes after the &C.

Does Judge Lawrence Affirm the Bar
gain?

Judge Lawrence, an ex-chief justice of
the supreme court of the state of Illinois,
is the person alluded to in the following
paragraph from Chicago paper:
Judge Lawrence, OF this city, who was a mem
Der of the late Louisiana commission, states in
gard to the Indictment of Wells, Anderson, and
the other members Of the returning board, that ii ia
gross violation of the pledges made by the
Nichols government. 1t was the distinct under
stading that there should be no political prOsecu-
tons. Judge Lawrence says he has no doubt
these legal proceedings are instituted by Bourbon
Democrats in Louisiana who are opposed to the
Nichols government, and that he and his friends
Will use their influence to carry out the pledges
made in good faith, and put and end to these
prosecutions, or. at least Gov, Nichols will
exercise his pardoning power, If that should be
come necessary"
The Times printed this paragraph be-
fore in order to give Judge Lawrence a
chance to disclaim it, as he may not have
seen il in the print il which 1t originally
appeared. He has not furnished any dis
claimer
The allegations attributed to him by
assertion or implication are:
|. That there were pledges between the
Nichols party and the commission sent to
Louisiana by President Hayes.
2, That these pledges related to the
protection OF the returning board scoun-
drels from prosecution on account Of their
violation Of their official oatbs in the man
ner of eanvassjpg the election returns.
That the Hayes commission and the
Nichols party were alike aware that the
action Of the returning board in relation to
the electoral votes was of the nature of
perjury or forgery, or both, including also.
possibly, theft. and subornation of perjury;
and that the Hayes commission pledged
the support of the national government to
the Nichols party in exchange for PLEDGES
by the Nichols party that the alleged
crimes of the returning board should not
be subjected to judicial investigation.
4. That the indictments of the return
lug board are in violation of these pledges,
and that Hayes or Nichols, or both, will
be appealed to by the commission of which
Judge Lawrence was a member, to protect
in their guilt, if they be guilty. men who
committed against popular government,
crime as infamous as that of Wilkes Booth.
If this is what Judge Lawrence means
to say, the people of Illinois want to know
it. Fhey caG scarcely be proud of the
citizen of Abraham Lincolnls state yho en-
gagged to shield such brace of crlminals.If
they be criminals, against the just conse-
