RIVER ROAD.

The extremely high water of the river
has rendered the roadway from this city to
Hampton in a very bad condition. As is
generally known the road follows the river
a portion Of the way, and thus the high
water makes itself apparent by flooding
the road. It is stated that farmers are
obliged to take the bluff road to reach the
city, and even this is not in first-class con
dition. The residents of the upper end of
county are in measure cut off from the
city, and should any mishaps occur to the
system of bridges over Rock river, the city
would be shut off the southeastern part of
the county.

L1vrNasToNEs LAST NIGHT.

The investigation of the second jury
impaneled by Coroner Morris did not in
discovering anything new concerning the
were found on the c., B. & @. track in
Moline yesterday morning AS stated
before the head of the remains contained
two severe cuts, one located in the fore
head and the other directly over the left
ear. These wounds lead to the hasty con-
clusion that foul play had been practiced
upon the deceased, and that his inanimate
body had been placed on the track to hide
another crime. A careful examination of
the wounds and full understanding of all
the circumstances connected with his death
resulted in verdict that does not imply
that the deceased was injured by any one
or that his death was caused by other than
his own careless act.
1t is probable that while in an intoxicat
ed condition he placed himself upon the
railroad track. his head resting upon his
arm which was placed on one of the rails.
A passing train severed the head and arm
from the rest of the body during the early
hours of the night and produced instant
death. Several other trains also passed
over him, and it was not until 1 O'Clock
yesterday morning that the discovery was
made that the man had been killed. This
conclusion is reached from the fact that
the dead man had no money and what lit
tie wealth he possessed was found on his
person after death. He had partly disrob-
ell and every Indication pointed to drunk
en- man going to sleep upon the track. The
verdict of the jury was as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned jurors, sworn to
inquire of the death of James Livingston,
on oath do find that he came to his death
by injuries inflicted upon the head, but
whether such injuries were inflicted by
any persons previous to his having been
run over by No. a train on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad track, On
October 10, 1881, between the hours of
10 and II p. m. the jury from the evidence

ROUND HOUSE.

For some time there has been consider
able talk among the officers of the C. B. &
%. about the construction of around house
and repair shops in this city, in keeping
with the business of this division. The old
structures that does service as a round
house is inadequate in many respects, too
small in size and badly used up generally.
The necessity for such an improvement
has been manifest for some time, and di-
vision superintendent Crumpton concluded
to order the erection of the new structure.
The next problem to be solved was the Sc
lection of site for the proposed buildings.
Some difficulty was experienced in secur-
ing desirable and convenient location,
but it is believed that the matter is salts
factorily arranged and the work
of erecting the new buildings
will be com menced in the near future. i
is stated that the north half of the block
bounded by First and Second avenues, and
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets will be
used for the new buildings, as it is affirmed
that all the lots in that half block but one
have already been purchased, and negotia-
lions are now pending for the purchase of
that lot. The officials of that road are
very reticent about the Improvement, but
it is proba BILE that it will bring good
many mechanics and machinists to Rock
island and will prove a good thing for the

MILAN BRIDGES.

The high water in Rock river has tenn
porily stopped all work on the new bridge
that is in course of construction at that
place. The railroad bridge improvement
is also at standstill The temporary
bridge has been raised above the water
line, and now affords communication
between this city and the county. 1t is
thought that the bridge will now stand all
the high water that is liable to come the
present season. The bridge across the
canal at that point is not so secure. Bents
have been placed under the structure and
it has been made passable. The question
as to whether the city or the Coal Com
pany are required to keep that bridge in
order is receiving the attention of the city
attorney and his opinion will no doubt
be rendered in q short time, when the
course of action of the city win be decided
upon.

ASSOCIATION MEETINGS.

This is the age of associations, and the
man or woman who does not hold mem
bership in some organization is to be
pitied. Among the late combinations is
that of the Union prisoners, as arrange
ments have been perfected for an annual
meeting of the national and state associa-
ton of Union prisoners of war, to be held
in the city of Springfield, ILL.,, on Wednes-
day and Thursday, the 10Th and goth of
October, 1881. An interesting programme
for the occasion has been prepared by the
citizens of Springfield, which is designated
to be largely social, and for the friendly
greeting of the men who shared the terrible
experience of prison life together. Arrange
ments have been made with all railroads
for reduced rates.

passed this point for many years. She
had in tow three barges, which were load
ed with different kinds OF freight. The
boat itself carried an unusually large
amount of freight. 1t is stated that the
cargo exceeded 400 tons. with prospect
of increasing that amount before her ar
rival in ST. Louis.
1t is estimated that the freight placed on
cars would have required at least two trains
of fifty cars each. The Mary Morton with
her barges will reach ST. Louis tomorrow
