otherwise injured. The fireman, John
Moore, of Wilton, had both legs broken;
the baggage-man, Jake Cady, of Daven-
port, had both arms and legs broken.

peace with the insurgents upon almost
any terms, but for Spanish pride, as
negotiations must surely result to the
disadvantage OF the Spaniards. The
insurgents are not averSe TO negotiating
peace, providing the autonomy Of Cuba
with u sufficient foreign guarantee be
conceded. Sensible CubanS and some
Spaniards say they know the dangers
surrounding entire independence, and
would prefer annexation to the United

Millions in Mecca

Vienna, June i9.-M. Deiaplaine,
charge IL affairs of the United States
here, says Sheik u Islam recently sent
Il delegation of doctors of law TO the
Cherif OF Mecca, direct descendant of
the Prophet, for the purpose of de-
handing funds from the treasurer of
Islam, 20 he applied in defense Of the
Islam faith. This treasure is formed
from the annual offerings of pilgrims,
which are accumulated in the Kashbali
of Mecca. The Cherif of Mecca re-
ceives an average of $4,000, 900 francs
In annual offerings. One offeratory
chest was opened during the Russo
Turkish war in 1928, and several large
sums were withdrawn, but it was after
wards again closed. The second chest
was opened in 1851, during the Crime
an war, but the third has not been
opened since 1Il5. 1t is conjectured
that the accumulation of money in the
last named cannot be less than 25C,-
900, 600 francs, and it is fully believed
that the total amount of the treasure
of Islam will exceed GOO, 000, 900 francs,
and even a much higher sum.

These facts are derived from an inspec-

the sick in a%mbulances and field hospi-

MOLINE, April 10, 1877.
To the Editors of The Argus.
The watchword Of the hour, in our little
city, is economy, and in its best sense it
is good one. When applied to all alike,
If lifts burdens from all shoulders, and not
from one class TO load them on another.
Just now we are on the eve of a city
election, and as each candidate steps to
the front for the office OF mayor his econ
omical tendencies with his own money )are
Iauded as filling the demand Of the hour.
When, two or three years since, the
scheme for purchasing the privilege OF
building the Rock River Bridge, FROM
| three or four gentlemen. was citicised,
economy was not thought OF. When,
| later, the tax scheme was ventilated.
economy was recommended as a sovereign
remedy, whereby the innocent tax payer,
who had not influence enough to procure
an unlawful aud unjust abatement
could avoid paying so large taxes. In {
word, economy for the poor and rockies:
expenditure on the plea OF public good
for the interest of the wealthy, was the
spirit 10 which the word economy wa;
used as a shibboleth.
