ACCIDENTS.

Yesterday afternoon, the gas pipe in the
plumbing establishment of Davis 81 Co. of
this city leaked. and emitted a large
amount of gas in the workshop. One of
the workmen by the name of D. L. Perry
was overcome from the effects of the es-
Gaping gas, and was taken home badly de
moralized. It is not expected that any
serious effect will result from the mishap.
A man attempted to cross Rock River
yesterday in small row boat. The oar
lock gave out and the boat gradually drift
ed over the dam. The occupant seeing
his danger, jumped into the water and
was carried ever the dam and down the
river.
He was picked up in an insensible con
dition, and by the administering of restora
tives was soon able TO return to his home
The man was crossing to Milan ct the
time of the accident for the purpose Of
procuring some household necessities.

paroxysms of pain would come at intervals
of two or three hours day and night. from
which / lost sleep and suffered intensely.

The question win come up some day
within the near future, whether Rock Is
land or Moline shall be the name of the
consolidated city. Rock Island has some
claims, undoubtedly. The name is of geo.
graphical importance. and is associated
with railroads. arsenals. the country and

DAMAGES.

This morning suit was commenced
against the city of Rock Island by II. F.
Reticker, for damages caused by a defec.
tive sidewalk. 1t appears that during the
past summer Reticker had occasion to walk
along Third avenue one night when. in
attempting to cross Eighteenth street, he
fell into the gutterby4 reason of the re-
moval of the board walk which usually
covers that excavation. The crossing had
been renewed or destroyed, and there was
no signal light to warn pedestrians of the
ceived some internal injuries which have
laid him up for some time past. He is of
the opinion that the city is to blame for
the mishap, and proposes to test the case
in the circuit court.
