MALICIOUS MISCHIEF.

Some time ago the local officials of the

clock used by that company along the line
of their road had been tampered with
This was found to be the case with sew
eral such instruments in use at the yard:
in this city.
Suspicion pointed to a man by the name
of Moses O'Neil, who it was claimed haG
been seen about the clocks short time
before they were discovered to be out Of
order.
oNel evaded the police Of this city and
Davenport who were on the look out fol

appearance in Rock Island and was speed

charge of malicious mischief and this after
noon his preliminary examination was con

RATHER ROMANTIC.

Many Of the male denizens of this city
will remember Miss Lillian Hine, who Wis
tied Rock Island last summer, as canvasser
for one OF Captain GlaZier's books She
was not only very attractive in appearance,
but possessed most captivating manner
of inducing persons, or at least the young
men, to subscribe for the work which she
represented 1t is now stated that she is
the heroine of q highly romantic story,
which is as follows: Miss Hines mother
kept bearders in the city of New Haven,
and there were among the boarders q Chi
nese prince, named Tong, who had been
sent by his government to this country to
be educated at Yale. Tong met Lillian of
ten, and their meetings were the cause of
friendship which, to use patent phrase,
fast ripened into love" They were to be
married and all was fixed. Tong, in order
to make himself worthy of his bride, cut
off his queue, which is q sacrilege punisha-
BILE by death. A friend of Tong perhaps
through jealousy, notified the authorities
at home ef the severance of Tons's pig
tail, and Immediately the king ordered
that Tong come back to his own country
Tong, did SO, but not without saying good
bye to his sweetheart, the two meeting at
Terre Haute. He crossed the sea to his
home queueless, much to the scandal of
his countrymen. Some time ago the tele
graph brought news OF the decapitation of
Chinese prince for parting with his queue
while in America as a student The prince
was Tong. the affiapced of the beautiful
book agent. Shortly after the arrival of
this news, came the announcemet that
Miss Hine was very III and at the point of
death, but she recovered She smiles not
as of old and neither does her eyes glis-
sen and gleam, for her heart is now, as
ever, given to the poor Prince Tong.

MILAN BRIDGE.

The Milan bridge still remains incom
pleted, and the temporary structure does
service much longer than was anticipated
would be the ease The contract with the
Clinton Bridge Company stipulated that
the new bridge would be finished by the
1st of January. 1t was also agreed that
for every day after that time that the
bringe remained incomplete, the company
was to pay to the city the sum of SO.
The number of days since the structure
was to be completed exceeds a month and
and the amount to be paid BY the bridge
company is gradually assuming large pro-
portions.
Fears are entertained that the iron has
become lost in the transit from Cleveland,
and the bridge committee are somewhat
exercised over the non-appearance of the
iron or letters stating the cause of the
delay.

INTO TIE WATER.

Corporal Tousey, stationed at the Island
had occasion to close the gates of the dan
at the upper end of this city last Tuesday
night, and in doing so met with quite ar
accident. In order to accomplish his pur
pose he was obliged to work along the
wall of the dam for some distance The
surface of the wall was covered with ice
and in traversing the full length the Cor
poral slipped and was precipitated into
the water. He remained among the ice
for some little time, without being able
either to sxtricate himself or secure assist
ance. Finally some men who were passing
that locality noticed his predicament ard
succeeded il rescuing him from his mid
winter bath. The soldier was numb with
cold when rescued, but no serious results
are apprehended.
