A BOAT EPISODE.

There seems to be demand for boats in
Moline lately and persons who don't care
how and by what means they get them.
The last boat steal was perpetrated by
James Forbes and Andrew Bugge, who
about month ago stole skif from Aug
ust Sundine and took it out to camp on
Cars Island A friend of Sundine's who
happened to be out that way, saw the boat
and informed him of it yesterday. Accord
ingly he told Marshal Henderson, and the
twain proceeded to Milan, and in company
with q constable proceeded to camp and
arrested Forbes and Buggee. They were
brought to Moline this morning and
had hearing before Squire Mapes who
bound them in the sum of 800 to the cir
cult court, in default of which they were
sent to the Rock Island county jail. The
boys both bear bad character and al
though they are not positive that they
took the boat the general surmise is that
they are guilty. The marshal took them
down to the Jail just before noon.

MARSH. THE MAN.

Information has been received from
Mercer county to day to the effect that the
primaries held in that county last Saturday
selected delegates that will secure a solid
Marsh delegation to the coming republican
congressional convention, which will be
held at Monmouth next Thursday. This
settles the fight, as with the twelve dele
gates from Mercer county Marsh viii have
fifty pledged delegates in the convention,
or more than a majority of all the votes
cast. He has fifteen votes from Warren,
eight from Schuyler and fifteen from Nc
Donough, which with those from Mercer
will give him fifty votes on the first ballot,
with total vote of ninetyfour. There
are two sets of delegates from Hancock
county, one favorable to Marsh and the
other for McClaughry. The convention
will admit the Marsh delegation, which will
give him sixty-eight votes, counting the
eighteen delegates from Hancock. The
McClaughry men are represented by the
six delegates from Henderson county.
while Rock Island county with her twenty
delegates will be alone in her support of
w. Il. Gest. The nomination of Col
Marsh is foregone conclusion and the
result does not appear to excite any enthu-
siasm among the stalwarts or half breed
republicans of this vicinity. 1t is regarded
as machine nomination without any re-
gard to the mans qualifications for the
Office. The McClaughry men are angry,
the Gest men are Disguised, while the few
Marsh followers in this neck of woods
have not dared to express their opinion, as
they have been such hopeless minority.
The democrats are naturally delighted with
the prospect, as they can see the election
of democratic congressman from this dis
trict looming up as a most probable event.

THE ALDERMEN.

Yesterday afternoon the Aldermen of this
city and two or three visiting Aldermen
from Davenport and Joliet enjoyed little
tunfest at Turner Hall with Mr.. Holly,
of the Holly Manufacturing Works at
Lockport New York. During the morn
ing, the new machinery furnished by that
establishment for the water works of this
city was subjected to public test. The
test did not conclude until late in the after
noon, and the affair at Turner
Hall was supposed to be the final exercises
of the DAYS amusement The public dis
play was not entirely satisfactory to the
citizens or the members of the city govern
ment, as the streams forced from the differ
emit hydrants were not of character to
show the marked efficiency of the depart
ment during fire, although the increased
power of the machinery is well acknowl-
edged fact. The members of the party ar
rived at Turner Hall about o'clock last
evening, and social and highly informal
entertainment ensued. They talked ABOUT
water works and water supply in the
abstract, and failed to illustrate its i'm
proved condition as beverage. During the
gathering speeches were made by Messrs.
Lundy and Hull of this city. and
Marvin of Davenport. The speakers
naturally extolled the virtues of the Holly
works, and pronounced their satisfaction
st the public tests of the new machinery
which had taken placed during the day
After an hour had been passed in very
pleasant and refreshing manner the party
dispersed, and the festivities of the day
were declared to be at an end.

have base of some twenty feet square,
and viii approach a common point at the
rate of one inch for every foot of elevation.

the name of J. F. Dow was walking
through the cut on his way home, when
he was met by three tramps. As he passed
them, he was struck on the back of the
head with some object and became insensi-

covered that his assailants had searched
his clothing, and had taken therefrom
some $15 in money. He made his way to
the nearest farm house where he told of his
assault The farmer and one or two of
his werkmen visited the locality, but failed
to discover any trace of the highwaymen.
Dow neglected to inform the authorities

LOGS.

In speaking of the log outlook, the Mus
kegon Meas says that for the first time this
season the mills have all the logs they can
handle-more than $4,000 daily, and the
stock in sight is sufficient to maintain this
through the season. The total of logs to
be RATED in 1882 will reach 100000, 600
feet. In Wisconsin and Minnesota, the
cut, though very large, is behind the de-
mand. In north Wisconsin two new lum-
Der districts adjacent to the railroad be-
tween ST. Paul and Ashland have been
opened, and will add over 200, OO0, 900
feet to the product. These figures give
some idea of the inroads that are making
on the northern pine forests. Maine has
long ceased to be the great source of sup
ply for pne lumber. Her forests were
nearly destroyed years ago, and now she
is growing second crop of pine. 1t is
found that by leaving the young trees the
forests grow again, and thousands. of
cleared are there protected from fires and
watched for the crop, which grows to
profitable size in about twenty years. The
second crop is never so good as the first,
but it is said to pay for the cutting.
