THAT ROBBERY.

The popularity of the robbery yesterda,
morning by which n B. Davis # Rural
was reported to have been relieved of 81,
III, is still a subject of general converse
ton. There are some who think that such
a robbery on the streets of Rock Island
could not have been accomplished without
the knowledge of Davis For man who lost
that sum of money Davis was remarkably
free from suspicion The average man would
have had every man with whom he came
in contact during the morning searched
but Davis suspected no one, and when the
police suggested searching different men,
Davis would say II know that he has not
got the money"
The money was lost during the morning,
and yet early in the afternoon Davis re-
turned to his farm and gave the officers no
more assistance in their search for the stolen
wealth
1t certainly was a very peculiar robbery,
and it is thought that future developments
will explain some features of the affair that
now appear unaccountable.

TRAIN DITCHED.

Reports were current on the streets dur
ing the morni ng that Il dreadful accident
had occurred on the Rock Island division
of the c. B. & O., by which a passenger
train was ditched and several passengers
badly injured. The mishap was said to
have taken place last night al. an early hour
a short distance from st. Louis, and the
abandoning of the train, due in this city
at six o'clock this morning, gives some cred
Utility to the reports. 1t has been stated
that collision took place between the pas
senger train of the C. B. & O., which was
due in Rock Island this morning and a
freight train of the 1. & ST. Louis near
Alton Junction. The collision is reported
to have resulted in the great injury of the
two locomotives, as well as the baggage
and freight cars.
Enquiry at the local office of the G. B.
& O., resulted in the information that the
tram had been abandoned and
that no train would be through from St.
Louis until this evening. The officials
admitted that slight accident had occur
red near Alton Junction last night, but
they were in possession of none of the
particulars

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Last night at a late hour Mrs. William
Nourse who resides on the bluff in Moline
met with an accident from which death re
suited in very short time.
The deceased and her daughter were in
the family residence alone Mr.. Nourse being
absent in New York City on business.
During the windstorm which prevailed in
the night, Mrs. Nourse was troubled by
the noise of a revolving windmill which
surmounts the house. She went out into
the yard for the purpose of stopping the
noise, and while passing along the house a
portion of the structure containing the wind
mill blew off. The timber fell directly upon
the lady prostrating her and infiicting in
juries in the region OF the chest which caus-
ed death shortly afterwards. As soon as the
accident had occurred the neighbors were
aroused and physician sent for. The
latter arrived, but hasty examination re-
vealed the fact that her injuries were Of
such character that remedies were of no
avail
The unfortunate lady survived the shock
only one hour during which time her suf-
ferings We're very severe.
This morning Coroner Morris held an
inquest over the remains, and the jury rem
dered verdict in accordance with the
above stated facts.

and speed meeting. Lake Minnetonka for
example, offers as much pleasure to the
summer tourist as any lake in the country.
It's winding and picturesque shore line
measures nearly three hundred miles, so
irregular is it. Its waters are stocked with
the finest fish. Sail and row boats are cas-
lily had, and a fine hotel, Wayzata affords a
temporary home to those-and they are
many-who find one day on this beautiful
lake too short. This is but one of the
long list of attractions, easily accessible
from Minneapolis, and well worth visit
And since most people in this
country take from their business, and
somewhat grulgingly, the time spent in
pleasure and pleasure trips, it is of i'm
portance to remember that by taking the
Rock Island road, via West Liberty, and
leaving in the evening, but one night is
required to reach Minneapolis, and the fol
ing day is thus really saved for sight see
ing and pleasure. The return trip also re-
quires but one night; so that days alb
sence from business here viii give day
in Minneapolis.

RUMOR.

A rumor was circulated about the streets
last evening to the effect that Mr.. Wheeler,
the editor of the Quincy Herald, had been
driven from that city by mob, and was
seeking refuge in Rock Island. The Herald
has lately seen fit to take up Gen. Garfield S
record. and to criticize tn e President in no
flattering manner. This course has caused
some excitement in Quincy, as a few hot
blooded republicans attempted to burn the
editor in effigy.
The would-be perpetrators, however, of
the affair did not succeed, as they were
chased from the street by some fellows of
the Herald
tits needless to state that there is no
truth in the rumor, as Mr.. Wheeler intends
to remain in Quincy, and would not leave
that city under any circumstances.

STRIKE.

A strike is reported among the plaster
ers engaged on the different Government
buildings in process of construction on the
Island. Seven of those employed stopped
work last night, and the remainder follow
ed suit during the morning.
The men have been receiving So. so pei
day for their services, but they felt that
Uncle Sam could afford to expend an even
81 per day for their services.
1t remains to be seen whether the Gov
eminent will be bulldozed into paying the
increase, or permit the different shops to
remain unfinished, as is generally the case
with structures erected by annual appro
priations.

INQUISITIVE.

A woman from Henry county, attended
by an admiring acquaintance visited one
of the Rock Island attorneys to ascertain
the manner in which to institute proceed
ings for divorce The female claimed
that her liege lord had deserted her for
another woman and was still living with
his last love in Geneseo. The information
was given her that such proceedings should
be commenced in the adjoining county.
She appeared rather disguised to think that
she could not have her say against the
wandering husband. From the assiduous
attention of the young man who accom-
panied her, it is surmised that she also was
seeking change of partners.
