POISON.

Carsen Iben, rag picker of Davenport,
terminated his existence yesterday by tax
ing dose of poison. The man was in
very Strengthened circumstances. and had
become very melancholy of late. He often
expressed desire that death might termi-
nate his suffenngs, and it would appear
that his demise was the result of premedi-
tation.
For the last few weeks the deceased has
been separated from his wife and children,
and this domestic unhappiness no doubt
had the effect upon his mind. He lived at
the Liberty tavern. Yesterday morning he
came down from his room, and as he
reached the sitting room be drank the con-
tents of glass which he held in his hand.
In few seconds he was affected with
spasms, and continued in the most horrible
agony until death relievedhim d few hours
later.
An inquest was held during the after
noon, and averdict rendered of death by
poisoning.

Abous two years ago there was organ
lied under the laws of the State of Illinois,
mining company called the Leadville and
Gunnison Gold and Silver Mining Com
pany. It has its principal place of bust
| ness at III South Clark street. Chicago.
| The interpretations and stockholders are
| men so well known throughout this sec
item of the country that any news con-
nected with tho company is of interest;
and for the sake of thesRock Island par
ties interested it is pleasant to say that
| their business has been so far profitable
and promises III the future great returns.
Mr. e. ST. Jehu, General Ticket agent of
the c., r. /, s. p, is President; Mr.. w. G.
| Purdy, Treasurer of the same road, is
Treasurer; Mr. H. III. Shepherd, 10 Vice

Alicante mining districts of Colorado.
The principal ones are the "Sequin." the
Georgia" the Setting Sum-" and the
Good Shepherd" all near Leadville. The
'Sequin" has a shaft AS feet deep, and in
q recent report of the officers the following
is said of it.
1.-THE Seauin has already reached very
nearly paying basis, and within the next
thirty days we expect it not only to con-
tinue paying its own expenses, but believe
it will return an additional amount to the
treasury of the company. To-day January
18th, 1882 we are shipping from that
mine ore which nets the company one hum
dred dollars per diem, and that with an
exceedingly reduced force working. We
expect very soon to be able to ship from
twenty to forty tons per day, which will
largely increase net results"
Mr. H L. Wilson of Davenport, is a
stockholder and local agent for the COM

to dispose of limited amount of stock,

and both engineers and officers and stock
holders of the company seem to be well
pleased with the results reached.

ACCIDENT.

This-morning at o'clock, an accident
occurred at 0pheim station, on the c. B.
& @. railroad. short distance from this
city. by which John Queutar, % fireman on
a freight engine, received injuries from the
effect of which he died in short time
afterwards. The accident was caused by
four freight cars running off the side track
at the station. The grade being down hill,
the cars moved along at q rapid ratio, and
were run into by the freight train coming
north. The collision occurred about one
mile from the station. The engine was
badly demolished, as were also several of
the freight cars. The latter were derailed,
and blocked the track for several hours
The dense fog prevailing at
the time, prevented the en-
gineer and fireman from seeing the cars
as they approached the station, until the
collision had actually occurred
The fireman was caught between the
boiler and the tender, and bis lower limbs
were horribly mangled. He vras rescued
Is soon as possible from his position. but

HAZEL KIRKE.


A delighted and prefectly satisfied audi
ence left Harpers Theatre last evening, al
the conclusion of the Hazel Kirke perform
! anee By company including Miss Belle
Archer, Miss Cone, Miss Pike, Chas
Wheatleigh, II. Archer, Joseph Frankau,
Yorke Stephens and Others.
The production of the beautiful dramat-
ic drama was a most finished and enjoya-
BILE entertainment and compares favorably
with that given by the cast originally en-
gagged to produce the phenomenally sue
cessful play at the Madison Square Theatre
in New York.
The audience last evening WAS large and
apprsciative, and entered, heart and soul
into the spirit of the play. 1t is seldom
that such enthusiastic applause is so gener
ally given by a Rock Island audience as
that accorded the different actors and act
resses last evening.
Miss Belle Archer as Hazel, carried off
the honors of the evening. She looked,
dressed and acted the part to perfection
and her rendition of the heroine of the pas
toral play will compare most favorably
with Effie E.sler and others who have as
sayed the part.
Miss Cone as D011eg Button and Miss Pike
as Mercy Rsrke, were also very clever in
their respective parts, and received their
share of public approval.
Chas. Wheatleigh as Dunslan Ksrhe,
this man of iron viii. was also in his ele
ment. He gave most natural interpreta-
ton OF the lines, aud has greatly improved
the character by eliminating tendency to
rant which last year was apparent in his
acting
Joseph Frankau as Ptttfcus Green was
also prime favorite with the audience.
He is character comedian of real talent,
as he drew the distinction in his acting be-
tween comedy and burlesque and remained
on the domain Of the first named. The
lines of this character are susceptible of
two interpretations, and the distinction at
times is very fine.
Yorke Stephens as Rodney was also nst-
ural and painstaking, while the Lord I'rG-
GERS of 81. Archer was not SO enjoyable.
The remaining members of the cast, were
good, and the play as a whole was per
haps the most finished performance that
has been given in Rock Island during the
present season.
