TEE GOSPEL WoRsHrPpERs.

The camp meeting yesterday was largely
attended, notwithstanding the fact that q
number Of the more prominent preachers
from abroad had gone home. There were
a number of workers left, however, and
| the services were of very interesting ma
ture.
The business meeting was well attended,
and considerable work done by the society
and many suggestions made for the en-
campment next Y Ear.
The meeting this year has peen success
full beyond the hopes of those in charge,
andIso much encouraged are the managers
that next years camp will be on a larger
scale than ever. A number of improve
ments about the grounds are contemplated,
and among others, more room at the board
ing tent, which viii be enlarged to accom-
modate greater number than ever before.
The sermon by the Rev. W. NJ. Collins,
of Geneseo, and the Missionary Address by
the Rev A r. Morgan, of Moline, were
admirable addresses, and had marked eff
feet on the hearers. Mr. Collins is a fine
seemed to surpass himself.
Tomorrow, or possibly this evening, the
closing exercises will be held, and the reg
ular annual business meeting of the execu-
tive committee, the managers and others
will be held at the Presiding elders tent.
The address by the Rev. j. S. McCord, of
this city, is well spoken of, and SO also is
the short sermon of DIR. Rhea, of Daven-
port, formerly pastor of the Fifth Avenue
church, Rock Island.
The total number OF conversions is 325,
and of this number it is stated there are 80
who never belonged to any church before.
The ministers in charge are well satisfied
with the result of their labors, and the fl
nancial success of the meeting will greatly
encourage the executive committee for.

The alarm of fire yesterday about 5 p.
M, was caused by the burning of some
straw at the circus grounds. The flames
communicated to the wood pile of Charles
Akers, and for little while it looked as if
the saw mills would be reached, but the
prompt work of the Mill Company's fire
men prevented the flames from spreading
Soon after the arrival of the upper ward
hose company the fire was completely
squelched 1t was a fortunate escape for

Mr.. Eckhart says that the statements in
the Globe are largely overdrawn and that he
is unjustly censured This morning
Eckhardt left for Port Byron TO look up
the matter.
A conversation was held with Constable
Schaible, of Port Byron, who was in the
city to-day. He said he had known Riley
for more than twenty years.
Riley has been arrested time and again
for beating his wife, but always managed
in some way, by good promises, to avoid
the jail, but this time the assault was an
aggravated one, and there was not in Port
Byron person who would go on his bond.
Riley is man about so years of age, has
a wife and five children, and owns 40
acres OF land under good cultivation
Some time since, an injunction was granted
to prevent him from mortgaging his prop
erty. and unless there is great change in
public opinion. Riley viii lay in Jail until
his year is out Mr.. Schaible says Riley is
all right when sober, but is a brute when
drunk, and manages to get in that condi-
ton at regular intervals and then his wife
and children have to suffer.
The case is one that has excited much
interest in the county, and especially
about Port Byron, where everybody is in
sympathy with the wife and children, and
hone that the brutal husband will remain
in Jail to the full extent of the penalty

without home Physicians knew that
when those men are stricken down with
disease or accident, the absolute want of
a place to care for them is felt. It is the
daily experience of almost every physician
in the two cities eI believe" said the
doctor, that this hospital should be built
by voluntary subscription. There is a
vast accumulated capital in the two cities
which really represents the profit on the
labor of the men employed in the vast
shops and industries, and | believe the
capital of the two cities should contribute to
establish and organize hospital Ii should
be done by voluntary SUBSCRIPTIONS. In this
way enough could be secured to erect a
building suitable to begin with, which
would soon become permanent institution
and could be enlarged as necessity required
IL this is done, the future success can be
secured / concur with DIR. Craig in the
selection of committees, one to take care
of the plans and location, another the
methods of managing the hospital, and a
third to look after the financial part of it.
If the meeting will appoint these commit
tees and give them time to look up the
matter and report at the next meeting,
believe good results win follow this begin
ming.
Dr. S. G. Plunlmer suggested that the
finance committee be authorized to present
the matter to the Board of Supervisors and
request county aid. He believed the
county poor, who are sick, could be all
cared for at hospital and If SO, then the
expense of sustaining them at the poor
farm would be avoided and that place have
more room, He urged prompt action and
hoped the project so well begun would
prove success. A hospital was public
necessitv and oIloht TO no bl1ilf
Dr. Craig, Oliver Olsen, w III. Lundy,
City Attorney Parks, Dr. Eyster and others
made remarks in regard to the subject and
all urged prompt action.
Dr. G. Truesdale moved that five COM
mittees be appointed, four of these to con-
sist of five members each, and one, the fl
nance committee, to consist of ten, to be
named by the chairman. Carried. These
committees were as follows:
Organization.
Plans and Cost.
Finances.
Location.
Board of Supervisors.
The chairman hoped the meeting would
relieve him of the appointment
of these committees; he would
sooner that committee be appointed
to select them and hoped the meeting
would so conclude.
After some interchange of opinions the
matter was settled by the appointment of
committee of five to select the other com
mittees and report at pleasure. This com
mittee consists of J. J. Parks DR.. Craig,
f. NJ. Sinnet, of Rock Island, DR. David
son and J. NJ Gould of Moline
A discussion ensued as to the best time
for the next meeting, some thinking the
next day following the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors would be best, but
this was objected to by those who wanted
an early meeting. Finally the matter was
settled by a motion of ]. J. Parks to ad
journ subject to the call of the chairman,
and thereupon the meeting adjourned.
