The Pest House Location and
it's Consequences.
A Man Burned to Death near
Hampton.
Postal Notes and other City
News.
INDIGNANT RESIDENTS.

The Quiet and law abiding denizens OF
the adjoining township of South Rock
Island are no longer quiet and submissive.
They labor under the impression that the
Board of Health of this city has imposed
upon their good nature by locating pest
house within their bailiwick. They do
not look upon such move as either neigh
borly or just, and consequently are in arms
to prevent such breach of etequette.
1t will be remembered that the health
commission and the city council decided to
rent building owned by Major Q. Nc
Neil. and located near the railroad track in
South Island, as pest house. 1t was Sc
lscted because of its isolation, and all the
arrangements were about perfected to
utilize the same in case of an emergency.
The residents of South Rock Island oh
iected. They met together and passed
resolutions, but they were UNDECIDED by
the city authorities, and this incensed the
rural inhabitants. Last night they held
another meeting at the Central school
house. which was largely attended
Supervisor Campbell acted as chairman,
and Chas. Debbern officlated as secretary.
The meeting, by resolution, concluded
to resist the location of the pest house.
The members also decided to rent the
house and place tenant in the same, SO
as to prevent its occupation by this city
They visited the house in body, and
there was some disposition to take decided
measures, but the above noted course was
finally decided upon.

HUBER's CASE.

This morning, in the county court, the
case against 1. Huber for maintaining a
nuisance in the shape of refuse from his
extensive brewery came up on motion to
quash the information. The motion was
overruled, and the defendant by his attor-
neys, filed numerous affldavits showing
why a continuance should be granted. At
the same time motion was entered for a
continuance. The affidavits stated that
the defendant was suffering from an in
jured knee and was thus prevented from
attending court at the present session.
The court continued the case until next
March

POSTAL POINTS.

An attache of the Post Office deartment
arrived in the city for the purpose of max
ing inquiries into the loss of mail by the
steamer Jennie Gichrist on the 9th of last
October.
1t will be remembered that the Gilchrist
was utilized as a mail steamer between
this city and up river points during the
excessive high water of that time, which
prevented the conveyance of mail matter
by the ordinary routes. The boat had on
board quite large amount of mail, and
it will be the duty of the visiting official to
ascertain the manner of it's loss, and as
near as possible the amount and articles.
A few days ago an agent of the postal
departments came to Rock Island for the
purpose of examining the local Office with
an idea of recommending to Congress the
necessity of an appropriation for gov
erment building in this city. The agent
found the business transacted, second in
the state, Chicago alone excelling. He al
so discovered that the facilities were to-
tally inadeqate to the business performed
by the Office. It is therefore probable that
the report of the agent, backed by figures,
will be submitted to the postmaster Gen
eral and that official will incorporate the
for a new building at this point
in his report to Congress.

RuRNEn TO DEATH.

Last-Monday night three miners. from
Hampton visited the mines at Happy Hol-
low and INDUCED quite freely in liquor
They had taken keg or beer, and having
gained possession of a small blacksmith
shop in that vicinity they enjoyed little
spree all by themselves.
During the night Thomas Williams and
Thomas Cowan left for their. respective
homes while Ben Andrews went to sleep
on the floor of the shop In some strange
and mysterious manner the building
caught on fire and burned TO the ground.
Andrews aWoke at four o'clock Tuesday
morning perfectly sober, and found that the
frame shop had been destroyed, and also
discovered that he was severely If not
fatally burned. He called for help but was
unable to arouse anybody, soehe concluded
in his crippled condition to crawl home,
and this he succeeded in doing. When he
reached his home he was thoroughly ex
hausted, and was Immediately placed in
bed and physician sent for. An exalnina-
ton of his injuries revealed the fact that
his flesh in the region of the shoulders and
back was cooked, and his head had also
received some fearful burns. The man
continued in great agony until yesterday
morning when death relieved him.
There has been some enquiry as to the
origin OF the fire, and the presumption is
general that the flames originated from the
pipe Of one of three men, but did not
break out until after Andrews had gone to
sleeep 1t Is not probable that an inquest
will be held, although the circumstances
in the case would warrant such an investi
