GENERAL REMARKS = To-day has been
cloudy, warm and sultry. as have been several
of its Immediate predecessors. Business. as is
usually the case on blue Monday" has been
dull.
In the Cotton market to-day there was
slightly steadier feeling, with no marked quo
table change in prices. The descriptions OF
Cotton offered we're not such as we're sought
after by buyers, and consequently the days sales
amounted to only 5000 bales.
The sales of Flour were s75 bbs. at prices
ranging from S. to Sc 10 p Dbl. The general
tone of the market is quiet and steady with
light receipts.
There is a fair supply of Western Corn Meal
Offering. and the market continues quiet and
easy at 50 1902 90 # bbl for good to choice. The
sales footed.up only 300 bbs.
In Provisions there is but little doing, except
In jobbing way. For Pork there was good
demand. but at slightly easier prices the quota
tions being 50 is p bbl for spot goods and on
lots to arrive. The sales sum up 425 bbls.
Since last week. when the market was bare
there have been fair arrivals of Dry Salt Meats
but the sales have been small The market for
Bacon is unchanged, there being small supply
/ Corn is quiet and reported sales amounted
! to only 1850 sacks.

Yesterday afternoon a negro with Rob-

tack of fever and ague and became violent,
SO much so that they had to tie him down
to keep him from doing harm to himself
and those around him. He succeeded in
getting loose, however, aud plunged from
the boat into the river. but was hauled
out, then made his escape again and was
finally captured and handcufed and
brought to the Marshal's Office by Officer
Brennan. In the meantime great crowd
collected and the report spread that q
case of yellow fever was in town. DIR.
Plummer was sent for who pronounced il
lever aud ague and gave the necessary
prescription, which relieved the negro and
he was then escorted to Jail. Among the
various reports circulated relative to the
arrest was one, that the prisoner had
stabbed two men on the boat and was flee

Sneak Thief Arrested.

A thief entered the room of H. s. Wells,
at the Commercial Hotel, and stole there
from, an overcoat and pair OF pants. both
new, and valued at $50. They were
taken from wardrobe. and in such way
as to leave the inference that the thief had
thorough knowledge ofthe premises. The
clothes were just missed Sunday morning,
and were stolen between wednesday last
and that time. The overcoat was blue
black broadcloth, with buttons covered with
same material, and the pants blackribbed.
Tho same thief who stole these goods is
unquestionably the same as stole Bland
ford's coat, and also went through the
Gereseo House, last week.
This morning II. B. Miller, came down
from Geneseo, and left sample of cloth
from which the suit was made that was
stolen from the Geneseo House, and left il
with the police of this city and Davenport
Sunday night the police of Davenport ar
rested a man answering the description Of
the thief, and brought him over to thi,
side where he was jailed.

he was accordingly jailed. The pre-

That Case.

To the Editor OF The Argus:
Dear Sir:--AIlow rae TO reply to q
communication in THE ARGUS of the Gath
written, or rather signed, by Peter Schlem-
mer.
The facts are as follows: Last winter,
when the Fire AMI Water Committee
wanted ! 500 feet of FIRE hose, wrote to
the Cleveland Rubber Go. ,tfor whom am
AGENT for prices, samples, aud references
on their fire hose. They sent them and
instructed me to put 10 bid at 90 cents
per foot including couplings or 80 cents
a0ith0ut couplings, with guarantee to re-
place every section that gave out 10 3
years; my bid on the last lot Of hose was
IS cents aaclWdaRg couplings 10Th q guar
dntee of 4 gears (which was exactly the
same guarantee as given by MIR. Rogers,
agent for the Caswell Coupling Co, of Chi
cago.
The above facts are. think. "a salts
factory explanation, of the problem, "
and show that / did not raise the price on
the hose nearly 20 per cent; in fact. the
company set the price at $1.00 per foot
| with couplings and 4 years guarantee
and it was only at my urgent request tina,
they made the price 95 cents.
/ Mr.. Schlemmer says that, before they
purchased the 1900 feet of hose, the CON-
mittee thoroughly examined" the differ
ent kinds of hose offered and the relative
merits of each were well considered" be-
fore the contract was given to Mr.. Rogers
for the test hose; will Mr.. Schlemmel
please state what he calls thorough ex
animation" alter the order was given /
went to the City Clerk for my references
&C.; after hunting around while be
handed them to me with the remark
Here they are, but they didn't usl
them" Does this look like ''thorougE
examination?"
If they considered the hose worthless
why did one of the committee write to thl
Cleveland Rubber Co. for prices anS
samples and say that he thought the
could sell the city some hose,
| Win Mr.. Schlemmer please explain
lst. Why the responsible party" (Mr
Rogers) sent the city 1900 feet of a ver7
inferior quality of hose tcalled Antiseptic
instead of the test hose which the cit,
bought and supposed they received2 VIII,
it was here taCo or three ioeeL:s before it wa
Iordered back and a0ho ordered it back?
/ When the committee met to order til
last lot of hose, I went to Mr.. Schlemme
and asked permission to put ia bid an.
