that Is where 1t was found. The BODY

THE EXCURSION.

The excursion from Galesburg yesterday
arrived at 10 O'Clock in the morning, and
returned via the C. B. & @. at. six o'clock
last evening.
1t was under the auspices of the James
T. Shields post, No. As, of Galesburg, and
despite the inclsment weather was most
successful affair.
The excursion train, numbering ten
coaches, left Galesburg at six o'clock in the
morning, reached Monmouth at o'clock,
and arrived in this city at 10 a. m. The
excursionists comprised over 800 persons
from Galesburg. Monmouth and neighbor-
ing cities and towns.
The visitors, on their arrival here, were
escorted to the Harper House and Rock Is
land House, where special dinners were
served them. About 260 persons were
quartered at the former hotel, while large
number were entertained at the Rock Is
land House.
After dinner special train conveyed the
excursionists to the island, where an in
spection of the shops and grounds was ep-
joyed by those who cared to visit that To-
cality.
A large number of the visitors visited the
manufacturing establishments of this city
and Moline during the afternoon.
The regular programme of exercises on
the island was somewhat interfered with
by the rain, as it was the intention of those
having the affair in charge to have had
several addresses.
A few speeches were made, however,
and the Knoxville band, which accompan-
led the party, rendered few patriotic airs
while on the island.
At four O'Clock the special train returned
to this city, and at six o'clock the excur-
sionists departed for their homes on the G..
B. & Q. passenger train.

THE STREET RAILWAY.

On Tuesday afternoon G. Fl. Stoddard
and assistants commenced the preliminary
survey of the new street railway that is to
connect this city with Milan.
The line of survey commences at the
ferry dock, at the foot of Eighteenth street,
runs west along First avenue to Seven
teenth street, then south on the latter
street to Seventh avenue, west on that
avenue to Eleventh street, and then
south to Aiken street, where the work
stopped.
The rain Yesterday prevented continu
alton of the work, and it is expected that
the line will be continued this morning.
It is the intention to run the line, after
leaving Eleventh street, over private prop
erty, in place of the streets, as in the for
mer case no complaint will be made on &C
count of the dummy, which will form &
part of the line.
The survey made shows that very little
filling will be necessary, and it is claimed
that the road can be constructed for a very
reasonable sum.
A contractor from Milwaukee is already
in the city, prepared to bid for the work
as soon as the survey is completed. 1t is
highly probable that the work will be in
successful operation by the latter part OF
September.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
new road will be held on the 31st of the
present month, when the report of the
transacted.

A SCANDAL.

There is certain family in this city
whose unity and concord is sadly out of
tune on account of the alleged immoral
conduct of the husband and father. Sew
eral scenes have been enacted, and it is
said that divorce suit will probably be
the result The story runs that a certain
married lady was on a visit to some friends
at small station on the G. R. /. s. p Dur
ing her absence her liege lord closed up the
family residence, took unto himself a new
partner, and passed her off as his wife at
Tiskilwa, where the man had business to
transact. He and his new love remained
at the latter place for some days. so long
in fact as to excite the suspicious of his
real wife.
She made inquiries, and learned that
her husband was not the pink of perfection
or propriety, and on his return accused
him of his infidelity.
The wife is highly Indignant and declares
that she viii soon begin suit for divorce,
1t remains to be seen whether the threat
will be carried into execution.

Capt. Charles Durham. of the Engineer
Corps, in charge of the river and harbor
improvement, denies that the levee at this

would merit the statement that it is the

and st. Paul
He says that the city has extended Sew
enteenth street into the river, and as the
Diamond Joe landing is at that point
some difficulty is experienced during low
water
The rest of the levee, he claims. is in a
good condition in either high or low
water. the various captains of steamboats,,
to the contrary, notwithstanding.
He states that there is nearly 5000 ap-
propriated for work at this point, and if
the low water discloses the fact that some
dredging is necessary to improve the har-
Dor, it will probably be ordered.
