HIS WIVES.

A man by the name of James Timmens,
who resides near the German Catholic
church ON Fourth Avenue, was before
Judge Adams, of the County Court yes
terday morning asking that the Court
make an inquiry into the sanity of
Timmons wife. The man said that she
was not in sound mind.
1t was stated that few years ago this
same man was before the County Court
claiming that his first wife was non conapos
meatis. The jury empanelled to examine
into her sanity failed to agree that she was
insane.
A short time after the investigation the
woman died. and since then Timmons has
taken unto himself second helpmeet,
whom, he claims is also deranged.
1t would appear that he is having more
than his share of deranged wives, and the
investigation to-day, when the case comes
up, will be very critical and exhaustive.

The decision of the jury in the case of
III. ]. Reticker against the cify, for dam
ages from defective sidewalk was for
$780,. This is but one of the suits that
have been awarded different individuals,
and if the present delapidated condition of
the sidewalks is any criterion, the city win
be called upon to pay several thousand
dollars more before it commences the need
ed repairs.
Rock Island can boast of more sidewalks
that are regular pitfalls, snares and de-
lusions, than any city of its size in the
United States.
There appears to be no established grade;
but every person has been allowed to con
struct the sidewalk as best suited to prop
erty. The result has been that steps, up
and down, inclined planes, jumping off
places and other,devises are employed to
give some apparent connection between
the different systems. Damage suits have
followed the irregular arrangement and
will contiaue until some improvement has
been carried out.
Last night the police blocked up the
sidewalk on the corner of eighteenth street
and fifth avenue, and hung out the danger
lanterns, because of its dangerous condi-
ton.

NEW WHISTLE.

The Buford Plow Works have recently

PROBABLE MURDER.

A few days ago, a young negro by the
name of Wade Martin. came back to Rock
Island from Iowa City, where he had been
engaged at a hotel, in a bad condition.
His face showed evidences of having been
pounded with some blunt Instrument. and
his mind was not properly balanced. He
gave a disconnected account of himself,
and said that he was. called to the Court
House to testify In some trial. When
found by the police, he was seated on the
Court House steps awaiting summons.
He was taken to the: police station by Off
Ger Bunker, and questioned very closely,
He said thats while ont in Iowa City he
was employed as waiter at the Palace
hotel Anotlier colored man named John
Proctor, was employed as porter, and the
two had had quarrel, during which Proc
tor struck him with a club on the head.
He did nor remember anything after that
fight So
He was taken 60 his fathers house,
Lewis Martin, near the Fair Grounds, and
DR.. Eyster was called in. The latter made
an examination, and found that young
Martin was suffering from Inflammation OF
the brain, superinduced by blow on che
head. sea
The doctor stated that the man was in
a critical condition, and the chances were
that he would not recover from the effects
of the blow:
With this information at hand, the po-
lice authorities notified the chief of police
at Iowa City.
A postal card was received yesterday
from Henry Schinn, chief of police of Iowa
City, which contained the information that
Proctor had been arrested, and would be
held in custody until Martin recovered OF
died from his wounds
1t is thought thatla easesof murder, or
at least manslaughter VIII be made out
against Proctor IN case of Martin death,
which is now considered very probable
