sToEING A TRAIN.

Information was received at the police
headquarters this morning that two at
tempts to stone a train on the G. B. & O.
had been made last evening near the east
ern city limits.
The Information came from w r. Cromp-
ton, superintendent of the Rock Island
Division of the C. B. & O., and was to the
effect that last night as trains Nos. and
were leaving the city, some persons DELHI
erately threw stones at the moving cars.
The missiles fortunately did not enter any
of the windows Of the passenger coaches
-or otherwise do any material damage but
the danger Of the pastime is apparent to
every one. 1t would appear that there
were several parties engaged in the affair,
as the missiles were flying thick and fast
while the two trains were between the city
limits and Brooks crossing. A reward of
800 has been offered by the railroad com
pany for the arrest and conviction OF the
guilty parties

A LECTURE.

An intinerant lecturer was about the
streets last evening attempting to gather
an audience who would listen to him. He
claimed to be able to lecture on any subject
for the modest price of cents per auditor.
His discourse on Immortality" was as
follows:
''Men seldom think of the great event of
desth until the shadow falls across their
own path, hiding forever from their eyes
the traces of the leved ones whose living
smiles were the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the great antagonist of life, and
the cold thought of the tomb is the skel-
eton at all feasts. We do not want TO go
through the dark valley, although its pas
sage may lead to paradise, and with Chas.
Lamb, we-do not want to lie down in the
muddy grave, even with kings or princes
for our bedfellows. But the fiat of nature
is memorable. There is no appeal or relief
from the great law that dooms us to dust.
We flourish and fade as the leaves of the
forest, and the flower that blooms and with
ers in a day, has not a frailershold upon
life than the mightiest monarch that ever
shook the earth with his footsteps. Gen
erations of men appear and vanish as the
grass, and the countless multitude that
throng the world to-day will tomorrow
disappear as the footsteps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the instinct
of immortality, SO eloquently uttered by
the death-devoted Greek, finds deep re
Spouse in every thoughtful soul When
about to yield his young existence as
sacrifice of fate, his beloved Clemanthe
asks if they shall meet again, to which he
replies: II have asked that dreadful ques-
ton of the hills that look eternal-of the
spirit hath walked in glory. All were dumb.
But while gaze upon thy living face I
feel that there is something in thetleve that
mantles through its beauty that cannot
wholly perish. Weshall meet again, dear
Clemanthe.

A sample bar was taken to the Arsena
where it will be subjected to severe test
before the iron viii beplaced in position OF
the bridge. The test will probably be
made this afternoon or tomorrow, as it il
expected to commence work on the struc
ture over Rock river early next Monday
morning.
At that time the temporary wagonway
which has been placed across the piers
viii be removed, and communication be-
tween this city and the country will be car
ried on by means of a rope ferry. The ar
rangements for such craft have about
been completed, the only hitch appearing
to be in the refusal of a Mr.. johnson to
allow the ferry to land on his property.
The permanent bridge viii not be com
pleted before the 1st of April, and as that
completion was stipulated in the contract
to be on the 1st of last January, with a
fine of SO per day for every day after that
date that the bridge remained incomplete,
there will be set off in favor of the city
of about 5000.
