Obituary.

The Aiedo Banner, has very touching
tribute TO the late Mrs Elizabeth Lloyd
mother of L. G. Lloyd of South Rock

body was taken to Mercer county for tur-

ago. The Banner says
Mrs. Elizabeth Lloyd, widow of the
late BenUah Lloyd, of Millersburg, ILL.,,
died at the residence of her son, L. G.
Lloyd, in Rock Island. June 9th 1880, aged
80 years months and days.
She came to Ill. in 1884, and In 1885
moved to Mercer Co., and settled with her
husband where they raised a family of
children, nine of whom survive to mourn
her loss, among whom is our supervisor,

ed herself with the Pres. church in early
life, and continued an earnest, consistent
member till death. Her religion was not
sentimental but partook OF that deep
abiding faith in God which made her a
power for good. Her superior abilities
were felt in home and social life, in a
marked degree. and left upon her children

Patty Jealousy.

Items of interest to the public must
happen after dark to get space in The
Union. The smoke stack at WeyerbBus-
er's mill fell in yesterday. and of course
THE ARGUS had the account OF the mis-
hap. This crowded it out of the Union.
The Northwestern Pillow Makers Asso
citation met at the Harper House but they
met In time to furnish an item for The
ARGUS, and-this crowded it out of the
Union.
This may be called enterprise by the
Union but by most people it is designated
petty jealousy.
LISA well known fact that the Union
refused to aid the Fourth of July celebrs-
ton because The ARGUS was first TO
start it, and that it refused absolutely to
notice the marriage Of former Rock
Islander, for the same reason. but 1t was
hardly to be expected that the petty spite
would be carried to the extreme of fool
ishness. THE ARGUS can stand it. If the
Union can. but it wants it distinctly under
stood that the Union has no patent right
to news and that we will be On hand about
as soon as the rest Of them when anything
important is TO be recorded, notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the Dnio ~ to draw the
party line In its news columns.

Mrs. winslow's Soothing Syrup.

ledge; in our own family it has proved
a blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet sleep,
and the parents unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which
works to perfection, and which is
harmless; for the sleep which it affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the
little cherub awakes as .'bright as O

teething, its value Is incalculable. We
have frequently heard mothers say
that they would not be without it from

Hon. Horatio Seymour.

T, only rem aims for Gov. Horatio Sey-
mour 10 accept and he viii! receive the
nomination. There seems to be general
desire to place.the revered statesman at
the helm of the Democratic ship, and
though he does not desire and has not
sought the nomination, still he can hardly
refuse to accept the position if rendered in
spirit of spontaneity. The Illinois
State Register has the following tribute
TO the great statesman-it SAYS
1.-THE movement to place the name OF
ex-Gov. Horatio Seymour, of New York.
| before sthe Cincinnati convention. next
week, has evidently assumed definite
shape; and there seems to be 20 good
ground for apprehension that he will not
accent a nomination. He is not an aspi-
rant. He is not a candidate. He will use,
therefore, no endeavor TO procure the
favor of the national convention. But
popular sentiment points unerTIngly to him
the American Aristides-as the Demo-
cratic leader for 1880. and nothing but his
own refusal to re enter the political arena
can prevent his nomination. Ex.Gov,
Seymour is hale and hearty. lie has
grown great and glorious with advancing
age, He is the model American citizen
the beloved and revered statesman
whose life has been fruitful of patriotic
deeds, and whose entire record is free from
stain. The elevation of such man TO the
presidency would recall the days OF Jeffer
son and Madison and give renewed dignity
and honor to the executive chair of the re-
public. We have respect and admiration
| for other worthy democrats, whose names
are properly associated with the Cincinnati
nomination; but, in the presence OF Hora.
ito Seymour. we uncover our Shead and
acknowledge that his craftsmanship
deserves the tribute OF al uubroken dem-
ocratlc acclaim-a nomination that shall
be unmarried by a single breath of oppo
sition.

A more horrible, as we'll ascertain
method of suicide than that adopted by
Charles Arp. a mile and half south of
Eidridge, ten miles north of Davenport, at
5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, was never
reported in this country. 1t was half-past
8 o'clock when agent White of the c., NJ !,
& st. p. informed Coroner Bawden of the
case, and told him an engine and caboose
were ready to convey him to the scene.
And in twenty-five minutes the Doctor was
at the place.
1.-THE body was at the track, and the head
was about fifteen feet from it-hands
crushed and head mashed from the nos
trils down-a.shocking spectacle. Messrs.
Fred. Melchert, John Sturm and Fritz
Wisse were sworn as Coroner's Jury.
Peter Arp testified that deceased was
his son. and was about 25 years of age
born and raised in this country; married
and had three children, living IN Sheridan
township. Witness was at neighbours in
sight of the railroad, and when they saw
tho train stop, they walked towards the
track to see what the matter was. A train
man told him that a man was killed, and
the witness exclaimed at is my son"
walked forW ard aud recognized the corpse
as that of his boy. Last spring the de-
ceased said he was going to leave this part
of the country. The son was always in
good spirits, but last spring he was going
to leave home some day." He has bean
married six years, and SO far as witness
knew, Everything has been pleasant in the
family.
Mr.. George Shaeffer the locomotive en-
gineer, was sworn. He stated that after
leaving Eldridge he was running IL to Is
miles aud hour, and when mile and
half south. he saw a man run down the
bank throw his hat away. kneel down and
and clasp the rail with his hands. and lay
his head across the rail. The engineer
thought he was listening to the noise of the
train as it was approaching, as he had
seen many do before; so he thought it
nothing strange said he, Il was
on him before had any idea he wanted to
stay. L stopped as soon as / could, and
went back On foot to the place, aud there
saw the headless body" A man was left
with the corpse, and the train came on to
the city. the engineer returning to the place
with the Coroner. The man was not more
than 200 feet ahead when the engineer
FIRST saw him, and it would have been i'm"
possible to stop the train had he known
that the man intended TO commit suicide,
The fireman. John Anderson. corrobo-
rated the engineers testimony. He said
that Mr.. Arp. the father. told him that
the deceased threatened to commit suicide
sometime ago, but not lately.
Although there was no sworn evidence
to the effect. neighbors stated that the de-
ceased had been heard TO say a good
many times that he didn't want to live,
and would put himself out of the way
aud then there were hints aud mods as if
family troubles were the cause.
The jury returned verdict that said

can be attached to the engineer"
