An old railway rumor is revival in Boston
to the effect that Jay Gould has secured con-
troll, or is about to secure control, of the
Eastern, Maine Central and European and
North American roads, for the purpose of
securing an independent line to Halifax, and
there connect with fast line of steamers,
making the voyage to Liverpool in four days.

TOBACCO THIEF.

Ferris Thomkins, .Jr., is in trouble and
the cause of his mental distress is the fact
that he languishes in the county jail. He
is supposed to be. young and giddy, and
has a Partially for tobacco that was the
real caase of his trouble. He visited the
store of Flugel on Third avenue, and was
enchanted by some of the tobacco there
displayed. According to the pIoprietor's
version of the affair Ferris attempted to
borrow some of the weed without consult
ing the owner thereof. As result the
proprietor accused him of stealing, and
swore out a warrant charging him with the
crime. The prisoner appeared before
Justice Chopper this morning, when the
latter heard the evidence, and held the
prisoner in bends to the amount of 5000
for his appearance at the next term of
circuit court. This amount proved too
much for the bank account of the accused,
and in default of bail, he was given one
of the best rooms at the county jail

While coming up Third avenue directly
opposite the court house, the horse became
frightened and started up the avenue on a
brisk run. When near the armory build
ing, the vehicle upset. and young Stoffin-
ger was thrown out, striking upon his
head. The injured man was conveyed to

AN AIR LINE.

Some months ago, the officers of the
Rock Island and Southwest railroad com
pany visited this city, and stated that they
proposed to construct line from this city
to New Boston, thence across the Missis-
sippi river, to connect with line running
direct to Kansas City They stated that
they did not want any financial aid, but
would like to secure the right of way into
Rock Island and through the county. An
engineering party was placed in the held,
and two lines surveyed from this city to
Andalusia, one along the river bank ard
manager of the contemplated road was
engaged in securing the right of way, and
at his last visit to this city reported that
the right of way had been secured, and in
very short time the line would be selected
and the work commenced. 1t was given
out that trains would be running on the
new route before the winter season com
menced. This was some two months ago,
the work has not been started. Ii is limited
that the surveys were not of a satisfactory
character and also that the corporation
backing the new enterprise has concluded
not to construct the line. Whatever the
cause the fact remains that the Rock Island
and Southwestern railroad is an air line
only on paper at the present time, and the
appearances are greatly against its actual
construction

ing No. 1, were also allowed after refer
ence to the committee on repairs. The
change of teachers was the subject of some
little controversy and the discussion re
suited in the passage of the subjoined res
olution:
Res0Eued, That all changes or assign
ments OF. teachers shall be referred to the
Board and approved by them.
The question of securing historical
charts for the different buildings was re-
ferred to committee consisting of D.

OLD SETSLERS.

The annual meeting of the Old Settlers
as sociation, of Henry county, win be held
in the public park at Geneseo, on Wednes-
day, Aug. 30. A cordial invitation has
been extended to the old settlers society of
the county to be present on that day and
participate in the exercises. The invita-
tions have not only been sent to the indi-
vidual members, but also to the secretary
of the Rock Island association, Mr. A. K.
Phileo, who is instructed to come himself
and bring ali the old settlers of this locality.
1t is affirmed that the present gathering
of the Henry county pioneers will be the
most interesting and entertaining yet held,
and for that reason it is supposed that the
visitors will be more extensive than ever
before known. In accordance with this
belief, preparations have been made for
the entertainment of a large number of
guests A number from this city and
county will be in attendance.

POSTPONED.

Word was received this morning by the
local committee having in charge the ar
engagements for the coming state conven-
ton of the Liquor Dealers and Manufac-
turers' association, that the convention
had been postponed from the 9th to the
10Th of September. The change was de
cidcd upon yesterday by the executive
committee of that association, which met
in Chicago. The reason for the postpone
ment is said to be the fact that a number
of state conventions of other societies will
be held about the 9th of September, and
to allow members of the association an OPP
portunity to attend all the gatherings the
convention has been postponed.

AN ACCUSATION,

Heinrich Engelbrecht is the name of a
Young man who lives out in the rural dis
tricts of Scott county, Iowa He is the son
of farmer and while manipulating the
festive thresher, and handling the coquet-
fish pillow, he has been making love to a
girl employed at the farm house as "a do
mestic servant 1t would appear that he
had induced the girl to believe that life, for
him, would be barren waste unless he
enjoyed her companionship. Trusting in
his honor and promises to make her his
wife, the girl was indiscreet, and as a
result of such indiscretion, she has appear
ed before justice in Davenport and taken
out a warrant for the tickle Heinrich's ar
rest. She charges in her complaint that she
has been turned from the paths of virtue,
and accuses the farmers son of being her
seducer The examination of the defend
ant resulted in his being placed under $500
bonds for his appearance at the next term
of the circuit court, which amount he
gave, and was allowed to retain his liberty.

STREET RAILWAY.

Work on the Rock Island and Milan
street railway is progressing at rapid
rate, and will be fully completed by the

the track had been completed from the
terminal point on First avenue through
the city as far as Atkins street in
South Rock Island. This includes the
placing of the iron, filing up of the track
and everything that viii render the road
ready for use. The cattle guards at the

BASE BALL.

A number of the local employees of the
r. |. & P, the c., M. s. St. p. and the G..
r. l. & p did not attend church yesterday
morning, and the reason of the absence
from Divine worship was the fact that
they had little game of base ball. The
clerks of the first named road have prided
themselves on their abilities as ball tossers,
and have frequently given out that they
could get away with any nine in the city.
The talk rather excited the envy of fellow
clerks in the other railroad offices, and re-
suited in a challenge from a nine selected
from the local officers Of the c., r. |. &
p. and G., M. s. St. p. The selection of O
day on which to decide their respective
merits ca used some trouble, as Sunday
was the only time when the clerks could
prance around the diamond field, and
many of them had objections about playing
on that day. They overcame such scruples.
