AN IMpRoVEMETr.

The customers of the Brush Electric
Light system in Rock Island are moderately
well satisfied with the new illumination
afforded by the electric system, but there
are times when the electricity is more or
less shut off by reason of the slipping of
the belt at the works, and other similar
accidents. If report can be believed, this
defect will soon be remedied, as, in short
time, each customer will be supplied with
a quantity of electricity to be used solely
by himself, and there will be no necessity
for circuit of wires or central genera tor.
Each man will have his own electricity,
and can use it as he sees fit. 1t is said
that the Brush Electric Light Company
have recently patented a process by which
electricity can be stored in lead retorts,
and kept for almost any length of time.
This is one of the most valuab BILE of all the
inventions. BY it stock of electricity
can be kept ahead all the time, ready for
use in case of breakage in the machinery.
When the divided light is used as in
houses, stores. etc, it is not necessary to
run wire from the main machine to it.
The fixtures are simply put up in the
house, and these lead retainers are deliver
ed every day or two the same as a milk
man delivers his milk. When one is ex-
hausted it is lifted out and fresh one put
in, with as little inconvenience as in chang
ing an empty water pail for a full one.
This saves running wires all over the city,
and it is in every way a most valuable dis
covery. Light machinery, such as sewing
machines, etc, can also be run by the
electricity thus stored up.

NO COMPROMISE.

Some time ago Henry Reticker was IN
jured by means of defective crossing OF
the corner of Third avenue and Eighteenth
street, near Tegeler's wholesale establish
ment. The crossing had been demolished
by hose cart running over it in attending
a fire, and had not been replaced. Retic
ker came along one dark night. and, not
noticing the crossing, stepped into the
gutter, and received injuries which com
PEELED him to remain in the house for some
time. He recently commenced suit in the
circuit court for damages, estimating the
same at So, 900.
Last evening the finance committee OF
the city council held meeting for the pur
pose of examining the matter and making
overtures to compromise. The Attorney
for Reticker was present, and made known
what figure would be agreeable to his
client. This offer the finance committee
refused, and made an offer OF what they
were willing to give, which was refused
by the Attorney.
It is therefore probable that no compro-
mise will be effected, and the case will be
tried in court.

AN ADVANCE.

At the last meeting of the city council
that body refused to appropriate money to
the Clinton Bridge Co. for material and
work performed, although the contract
called for such payment as the work pro
crossed on the Milan bridge It was stated
by some who knew nothing about the mat
ter that an appropriation could not be
made at a special meeting of the council.
1t became question after the refusal OF
the council to appropriate money on the
estimate of work performed by the city en-
gineer, whether the contract had not been
annulled, and the Bridge company was re
leased from the payment of $40 per day
for every day after the 1st of January that
the bridge remained incomplete.
The Bridge Committee held meeting
yesterday, and decided to recommend that
an advance of $500, the amount recon-
mended by the city, be made to the Bridge
company, tor materials and work per-
formed The foreman Of the Bridge
was notified of the action of the committee,
and the whole affair Is believed to be salts
factorily settled, as would have been the
case at the meeting of the council if that
amount had been appropriated.

TRACK TOPICS.

According to the Railway Age, of Chi
cago, twenty roads, with an aggregate
mileage of 2,617 miles, costing $51,577,
600 in capital stock, and S76, 644, 900 in
bonds, making Il total investment of 1927
922, 500. have been sold during the year
1881, in order to wind up their outstand-
ing Indebtedness. Only one road operat-
ing in Missouri appears in the list, the
Cairo and st. Louis, with obligations
amounting to $s,415,000.
1t is said negotiations are pending for
the consolidation of the Pullman and
Wagner car companies. These negotia-
tons were opened about two years ago,
but nothing definite came of them, and
being revived at this time, the indications
are that all obstacles to the consolidation
having been removed, the business can be
readily accomplished. A conference COM
mittee, representing both parties in inter
est. had a meeting recently in New York,
which was postponed to some day this
week, when the details of arrangement
will be made known.

An informal discussion took place
among those in attendance upon sthe sub

The general opini On advanced was that
successful vaccination was sure proven

The merits of bovine and humanize6
virus next attracted the attention of the
meeting, and difference of opinion ex
listed as to the most successful system.
Some maintained that bovine virus was
best adapted for vaccination. and also was
free from the corrupting influence of Ithe

having passed through healthy subjects
was the best for vaccination purposes.

Death Of Mrs. Mary Garse
This Morning.
Failure to Compromise in the
Reticker Suit.
The Bridge Committee and the
Milan Bridge Contract.


This morning. at the residence of Mayor
Carsc, occurred the death of his mother
Mrs. Mary Carse, in the sixtysNth yeal
of her age. Mrs. Carse was native OF
Ireland, having been born in that country
in the year 1917. Soon after marriage
with Mr.. Carse. father of Mayor Carse, OF
this city, the family removed to the United
States and located in Pittsburg, Pa, where
they continued to make their home until q
short time ago.
Last November Mrs. Carse and her two
daughters came to Rock Island, and were
visiting at the residence of Henry Carse,
when she was afflicted with rheumatism
that terminated fatally this morning. The
last illness was of short duration, as the
rheumatism attacked the heart and resulted
in death The event was not totally un-
expected, as for several days past she has
been known to be in very critical condi
ton. and hopes were given up OF her ulti
mate recovery.
The deceased lady leaves two daughters
and one son to mourn her death, besides
other relatives in Pittsburg.
The funeral will occur from the Mayors
residence, No. Lilo Fourth avenue, at z
p m. next Sunday, and the friends of the
family are invited to be in attendance. al

his conduct, and on his arrival in Rock
Island he was promptly arrested and
returned to Milan. His trial occurred yes
terday, and was in keeping with former
boisterous conduct. He'originally appeared
before Justice Dickson, but took change
of venue beford Justice McMichael. The
prisoner appeared to enjoy taking change
of venue, as he made application to change
his case from the second Justice to one in
Rock Island. His request was politely
refused, whereupon the prisoner COM
menced to abuse the court and every body
connected with it. He insinuated that the
Milan Justices did not know how to make
out change of venue. The
court did not have an opportunity
to try the case of carrying concealed
weapons which had been preferred
against him, as the prisoners conduct did
not admit of such proceedings. The pris
oner was however fined for contempt of
court and in default of bail and payment
of the fine, he was committed to the
county Jail.

IN TROUBLE.

j. j. Schmitt is in jail, and the immedi-
ate cause of his imprisonmentis the fact that
he does not show proper reverence or
respect for the judicial system of this
country, that is necessary for the welfare
of the land and the security of the indi-
viduai Last Wednesday he visited Milan
in search of country produce. He did not
discover such articles as suited his fancy.
nor did he take particular liking to the
denizens of that place. He expressed his
adverse opinion of the town and its resi-
dents, and when Andrew Revoir attempted
to convince him of the fallibility of his
judgment, he drew revolver and threat
ened to extermInate the .Revoir race from
the face of the earth. After he had sue
ceedcd in making things extremely
lively for some time, he made his way back
to this city. The police were informed of
