ACCIDENT.

A passenger who arrived on the G., b. 6
@. from St. Louis this morning gives the
details of sad and very distressing acct
dent by which two employees of that road
came to their death. A short distance
after leaving St. Louis, two men Mack
Deviney and Silas Whitney were run over
by the engine on one of the bridges near
east st. Louis. The train was going at a
very slow rate of speed and when it came
in contact with the two men, they were
Frustrated on the bridge and fearfully man
gled. One of them died form his injuries
instantly, but his companions; although
fearfully cut up, carried on conversation
the men who were at work removing him
to place of refuge. He died however,
before reaching house or station. Il is
not known how the accident happened, as
the train was moving at such slow rate
of speed that any one in front had ample
time to get off the track before the ap.
proach of the engine. The two dead en-
ployes were sent into ST. Louis where their
families reside

HOLINESS CAMP.

The members of the Holiness band, who
recently appeared in Moline have been in
trouble again. This time the band is
located at Rushville, Schuyler county,
where the members have been in court. A
letter from that place says: Last Monday
was a day of considerable excitement in
this place, over the trial of Zebulon All
phin, before Squire McCreery, for malic
iously cutting and pulling down tabern-
acle tent in Huntsville township, in this
county 1t appears that this Holiness
band, among whom was the defendant
brother, serected tais tabernacle upon a
piece of land belonging to the defendant,
without permission to do so, and knowing
at the same time his aversion for such
things. When information reached the
defendant he sent them word to take it off
his land, or he would move it for them;
not complying with the command, but
saying they would keepit there or die,
caused the defendant to go upon that
night after their first meeting and remove
it and threw it in the public highway.
This brother of defendant. with others of
the band, among whom was fighting cock
and travelling preacher by the name Of
Ellis, and another renegade preacher by
the name of G. w. Sherman, who short
time ago was expelled on preferred charges
for lying and profanity, at the Canton con-
ference, conducted by the M. E. church of
that district, came upon the ground they
thought was consecrated to Gods service
and found not a vestige of the
tabernacle left standing Not being
eontent to discontinue their
trespassing they proceeded to again re-ereet
Il, but were again stopped from SO doing
by the appearance of defendant, with a
SHOTGUN in one hand and an axe in the
'eaher, telling him to get OF his premises
or he would shoot the last one of them.
They not having the fear of man in their
hearts, and not much milk of human kind
ness, refused to do it, when at once the de-
PENDANT commenced cutting and dragging
out the tab, greatly to the disgust of the
band. The Justice on considering The

LANNON'S INJURIES.

This morning John Lawson, Swede,
who works in the lower saw mill, met with
an accident that may paralyse him for life.
He was working on the slide when two
large logs struck him in the small of the
back, prostrating him and carrying him
down the slide. He was picked up in a
helpless condition, being unable to move
his lower members. DR. Craig was sum-
moned and made hasty examination, but
was unable to state how severe the injuries
will prove. 1t is feared that the man sus-
tanned internal injuries that may prove of
a serious character. At the latest accounts
the Swede is suffering great pain and is
semi unconscious. sss-.t

1t win be remembered that on Monday,
September 18th, Captain Boyle, while
crossing from Davenport to Rock Island
on the ferry boat, jumped into the water
and was drowned before assistance could

suitable reward offered for the recovery OF
his body, but without effect until yester-
day, when the swollen river gave up its
dead and the remains were found as above
stated.
The deceased was one of the Oldest resi-

offices of trust and honor, in all of which
he had acquitted himself in creditable
manner.
The funeral occurred at four o'clock this
afternoon.
