a BAD BREAK.

Al little before O'Clock this morning
| an ARGUS repo rter noticing large number
of men and teams vending their way
homeward from the direction of the govern
ment bridge fastened thither, and beheld
the cause. The mighty Mississippi had
broken its bonds and was rushing and
roaring as it passed on its course. The cause
of the same who only to apparent as in its
course it had carried everything before it,
such as planks mud scows, and nipple
ments which had been used by the men AT
work on the canal. Our citizens in large
numbers rushed down TO the bank, on dis
covering that a torrent of water was run
ming, where only a short time before it
looked black and bare. The cause of all
this was understood by nearly all The
upper Golfer dam had given away. The
men while at work heard whistle sound
the alarm and made tracks" so to speak
and just in time, for no sooner had they
reached the government island than with
loud sound the dam gave way, and what
tools that were not hastily picked up by the

canal. Several hundreds of men under
Skelsey & Co. are thus thrown out ofwork.
as it will take them some time to reclaim
that which was undone in few moments
by the father of waters, and / guess by
this time the government sees that when
they try to stop the course of the .fcreek
they have got their hands full As long
as the government has so much money to
spend on this water, why not make the
dam strong enough to stand, even if it
does take little longer, and thus prevent
throwing out of employment so many
men, who are depending on this work for
a livelihood 1t will probably be several
weeks before the dam is replaced

THE PASSENGER WAR.

Late dispatches announce that there is
no radical change in the state of the war
on rates from ST. Paul and Minneapolis.
As soon as the people become accustomed
to the new rates they will take advantage
of them to a greater extent than during the
past week.
The Illinois Central road has not vel
been drawn into the fight The head of the
line says that the ROAD is never in hurry
to enter into fight, and will not become
a party to war unless all powers of pei
suasion and reason have been exhausted
But once in fight, they will go in to stay.
The road will defend itself wherever and
whenever it is attacked.
Having been interviewed by an Inter
Ocean reporter Manager S. S. Merrill, of
the Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway, stated
he would say nothing positively about the
matter whatever; it is impossible to tell
what shape matters will take, nor could he
say what position his road would eventual
ly take. No roads liked doing business for
nothing, and still no road wanted to con-
cede too much to rival. He intimated
that if the roads get at one another with
tomahawks flying, the Milwaukee and st.
Paul road would not be apt to be the under
dog in the fight. Still. he said he did not
assume to know how everything would
end, or whether any immediate steps would
be taken looking TOW ard the patching up
of the peace.
In conversation with Tribune reporter
in Minneapolis, General Manager Merrill,
of the Milwaukee line, said: The situa-
ton remains practically the same, and
what the future will develop cannot say
Our road does not want to fight. and did

SINGULAR INJURY.

On Monday last, while at work setting
up an iron fence at the residence OF Cour-
selor James Lane, Davenport, ex-Alderman
David Stephens, of this city, was the vic
tim of strange mishap Having occasion
to use section of gas pipe in his work
and findingit too hot for his purpose he
plunged it into a bucket of water, which
sent powerful jet of steam toward his
right eye, scalding it and his eyelids CON
But this was not all. The sud
den contraction of the iron when plunged
into the water, caused several flakes or
scales to separate and fly with the steam
into his eye, adding TO the injury. The
injured man was taken to his home on
Fifth avenue near Elm street, where he is
being attended by DR.. George E. Barth,
with prospect of speedy recovery.

are Moline parties except one, and that is
an accomplished young lady of LeClaire,
Miss Minnie Wright by name, who at 2
o'clock this afternoon was united in mar
rage to MI. George Stott, of this city.
The latter gentleman has just recently had
furnished on East Park street fine little

Miss Emma Gore. Both of the brides
