FATAL ACCIDENT.

A sad and fatal accident occurred last
Tuesday morning on the farm of Dan
Montgomery, of Edgington township, by
which little four-year. old child was killed.
The particulars of the affair are as fol-
lows:
Walter Montgomery, boy some nine
years of age, was engaged in killing some
rats which infested the premises and were
particularly abundant about the porch
He had shot gun for that purpose, and
had succeeded in shooting one or two of
the rodents. He placed the gun on the
porch, when his sister, bright little girl
of four summers. made her appearance
on the scene, to watch her brother As
she passed in front of the weapon, Walter
picked it up and accidentiy pulled the
trigger. The load was discharged and the
shot entered the body of the child in the
region of the heart She fell to the ground,
and died almost instantly. All efforts to
relieve her sufferings were unavailing.
The accidental author of her death felt
most keenly his affection, and the sorrow
of the entire household was intense. The
funeral will occur this morning from the
residence

He had very little to say in his own be-

that the building was erected over him

A PEDESTRIAN.

Coroner Morris was Disguised with life
a few days ago. The occasion of this men
tai depression was not realization of the
fact that he can never become the sheriff
of this county, although nominated for that
position by the republican party; for he
still continues to hope that he will be
struck by election lightning. 1t was due,
however, to some false information which
he received concerning the death of an in
dividual, and to which he saw fee for
inquesting purposes. At the present time
he is most assiduous in his attention to
the duties of his Office, and intends to make
a record fer himself that will be of benefit
to him when he retires to private life next
November. The information that nan
had been shot was therefore sufficient to
make him impatient to repair to the local
ity and impanel jury.
He imagined that the fatality had taken
place on the island, and to that place he
started on foot. He gathered up two re-
porters, and the trio marched over to the
barracks and made numerous enquiries as
to the reported shooting. They failed to
ascertain any particulars, and returned to

STREET RAILWAYS.

A meeting of the directors of the Rock

was held yesterday at the office of Guyer
& Kennaird, when all the members were
present.

The following resolution was then
adopted:
WHEREAS, This company at the last
meeting of the city council petitioned for
The right to build an east and west line of
twenty six blocks on certain portions of
Third and Fourth avenues and Twelfth
street, where the property owners were
friendly and anxious to have US lay our
track; and,
WHEREAS, Said council by unanimous
vote allowed the Moline and Rock Island
street railway company to build an exten
sion of seven blocks over portion of the
same route and by manipulation of an
hostile committee has been placed in po-
sition where it must ignore the prayer of
said property owners, and where it can
not do US the courtesy of voting either for
or against our petition, but where it can
only vote for a line which we did not ask
for, and along which there are some hos
tile property owners; therefore
ResoJUed, That we instruct our attorneys
to notify the city council that we will not
accept the ordinance for said east and
west line as changed by the ordinance
committee.
The superintendent was instructed to
order T rail, not to exceed $50 tons.
s The meeting then adjourned.
