ADJUSTMENTS.

No matter what other attractions are adj
vertised in Rock Island Milton Mobiles in
variably draws good house. Very few
amusement goers there are who have not
seen the phoenix" and there are few, in
deed, who having seen it once will miss
the opportunity of seeing it again. In his
superior dramatic work last evening Mr..
Mobiles contrived not only to hold all of
his old friends and admirers in this city
but to add materially to the list. To at
tempt a synopsis of the scenery and lines
of play like this, which has literally be-
come household word. were wholly un-
necessary Mr. Mobiles in his dual imper-
sonation of, Carroll Graves and Jim Bludsoe
was fully up to the standard and in
many respects he improved upon
his former efforts. His support,
that of DolIie Mobiles, as Sadie
and Alonzo Schwartz, as Moses Solomons
was notably good. The scenic effects, as
q whole, seemed better than usual Mr..
Mobiles may be reasonably sure of a good
audience whenever he visits this city.

THE HOTEL ROBBERY.

Later developments respecting the Tay
Tor House robbery of night before last,
which was briefly outlined in last evenings
ARGUS, show that the thief scarcely pro-
posed to get caught mapping. 1t seems
that upon arrival at the house Tuesday
evening he registered as c., B. & @.
brakeman, and was assigned room No. 8.
Adjoining his room, on one side, was room
10, occupied by the Geisinger brothers, the
only communication between the rooms
being stove pipe hole which had been
covered over with paper. The thief must
have been up with the lark the next morn
ing, rs it appears that he thrust his arm
through the stove pipe hole, and seeing the
Geisiugers in bed concluded not to disturb
them. Then he watched room No. (oc-
cupied by Messrs. Dixon and Arndt,)
and when it was vacated went in and
helped himself to a vest of Arndt's forty
dollar suit and to a pair of worsted sum-
mer pantaloons belonging to the same gen.
tleman. He next turned his attention to
Mr. D,xon's wardrobe and finding new
twenty i've dollar suit took the coat and
pantaloons belonging to it and with the
plunder returned to his room. Here he
took off his drawers and put on his own
and Dixons coat end pantaloons and put
ting Arndt's worsted pantaloons in news
paper, which he took from a stand in the
room, sailed forth without paying his bill.
Arriving uptown he called at Mr.. Lundy's
store and tried to sell Arndt's pantaloons
but failed to do so and afterward disap-
peared. The matter has been turned over
to the police and MessIs. Dixon ard Arndt
hope to recover their property.

London.



The Londoner who is returning
downward after a feverish search for
some more sanitary place than his
home may be at once pleased and cha
grined to learn that the city has never
been healthier than at the present
moment. The death rate during the
past two months, when the capital is
as conventionally empty" of well to-
do people as Rome is during the dog
days, was only 13.45 per 1000,
or, in other words, fewer people
have died in the English
metropolis, in proportion to its popu.
%lation, than in most previous years,
and less than in the majority of other
towns within the realm. Yet it must
be remembered that the death rate Of
London is swelled by the mortality in
thel great hospitals, the patients in
which are, in many instances, drafted
from a distance, and therefore not en-
titled to be included among those fol
whose health the city is responsible.
The fact, however, is notorious tina
London is a good place to livein

ST. Louis Chronicle, October Srd.

St. Louis Chronicle. October Srd.
The Yelled Prophet authorizes the
statement that the float of Ireland ia
the pageant to night. about which
much critical talk has been INDUCED
in, will not appear. The float really
represents the genius OF Erin, with
emblematic harp, etc., and was a
beautiful picture. The scene was en-
livened with a representation Of q
county festival or fair, supposed to be
humorous and in no sense offensive,
but as some lunatic, instigated by a
superabundance of fre-water, might
deem it offensive, and do something
calculated to create disturbance, it
has been thought best to withdraw the
float.
