A REPLY.

The members of Strausser's orchestra of
Davenport, have challenged Biehrs band
of this city, and the challenge brought
forth the following reply:
Rock ISLAND, H., Aug. %, 1882.
IL seems as though the popularity of
Biehls Band is troubling the minds of some
of the members of the organization known
as the Union Band, to such an extent as to
call forth challenge from them that we
cannot play their music with two weeks,
rehearsing." That may be true, for they
know too well, if they know anything,
that we have engagements for almost every
night and day in the year and cannot tool
away time rehearsing music that they have
been trying to play for years without sue
cess. AS to playing our music at first
sight, we have done that and do it right
along. But they can't play their own at
first sight, and that is what is troubling
them. In case any more satisfaction is
desired they can get it by calling on us
personally.

the recent accident to the steamer Tiber,
which fortunately did not result in any Sc
rious injury to the men or the boat A
steam radiator was being put in to warm
the pilot house, Engineer Williams doing
the work. He was lying fiat on his back
in the shallow hold between the pilot
house floor and the roof Of the cabin, at
work on the connections. when an explo-

radiator right down through the pilot
house floor, the cabin roof and floor, and
upon the boiler roof and deck. He was
blown through the bulkhead, and the pilot
who was the first TO reach him, supposed

THE MILAN LINE.

A meeting of the directors of the Rock
Island and Milan street car company was
held yesterday afternoon in the sffice of
Guyer s. Kennaird. Several matters were
submitted and acted upon by the meeting.
1t was decided to lease the grounds about
Black Hawk tower, and the proper transfer
will soon be made. The grading of the
approaches to the bridges over Rock river
was not discussed, and it was deemed ex-
pedient to grade the road the full width.
so as to allow the track to be nearly level
at the point where it reaches the bridge.
This will necessitate the keeping of those
approaches in good order by the railroad
company, and will prove benefit to the
travelling public. The double track will
be maintained on all the bridges and also
on the territory between. those structures.
Arrangements have been made by the COM
pany with James Kinney to operate the
line within the city limits and W Snyder
to magage the line to Milan. Those two
will furnish their own horses, and trans
port the cars to and from the dummy on
territory requested to be covered by horse
power It is believed that the cars will
arrive early in September, when the line
will be placed in operation

Republican Troubles In the

REPUBLICAN TROUBLES.

The nomination of Col. Marsh as the
rnpublican congressman for this district
does not appear to give satisfaction to the
rank and file of that organization. The
republicans in Hancock county voiced their
opposition to him in their county conven-
ton when they selected McClaughry dele
gates to the congressional convention, but
this failure to secure his own county dele
cation did not deter him from securing the
delegates in other counties, and thus Sc
cured his nomination. The action of the
Marsh men in the congressional conven-
ton in refusing to admit the McClaughry
delegates from Hancock county is regard
ed as a bad stroke of policy, and has re-
suited in antagonizing all the McClaughry
followers throughout the district. As an
evidence of this feeling the McClaughry
men in Warren county are springing a
prohibition movement that will injure Col.
Marsh more than his friends will admit,
and will certainly complicate matters
in the district so as to elect democrat.
Warren county has home protective So
ciety that has been organized since the
nomination of Mr.. Marsh. 1t is the work
of the McClaughry men, and lately that
society held county convention. when
they elected delegates to a congressional
convention to be held in the future. From
the speeches made, it would appear that
the temperance people are blaming the re
fba ofaf ro-
fused to submit to a vote of the people
prohibition amendment to the state con-
vention. 1t was given out that the attend
ants at the convention would vote for no
candidate who was not in favor of such
submission, and Col. Marsh is consequent
" placed in a bad position. He has not
announced himself in favor of prohibition
for he knows that by so doing he will
ALLEVIATE all the Germans in the district,
and he is backward about stating
that he is in favor of the liquor
traffic, as thereby the temperance people
will fight him. 1t is understood that the
temperance people throughout the district
will hold county conventions and select
delegates to a congressional convention.
The latter gathering will nominate pro-
hibition candidate and Marsh will thus be
deprived of the temperance votes, which
will insure his defeat next November.
The Rock Island county republicans would
not break their hearts if Marsh was defeat
ed at the coming election, as they would
then be oble to have some voice in naming
the next congressional candidate, which
they failed to do at the last convention.
Marsh is defeated candidate if the pres
ent trouble in the republican ranks is any
criterion
