RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.

The Raszsoay Age published an article
showing the amount of railway construc-
ton done from Jan. l to July / of this
year. One hundred and seventy nine
roads have completed 1890 miles of road
in the northwestern states alone eighty
one roads laid 2.3fO miles of road These
totals may well be considered astonishing.
While only one-haf the year is gone, and
that including several winter and spring
months, when the work of construction.
especially in the northern states, is gener-
orally not even commenced, and while
there has been a great cry about overriding
railway building and many predictions have
been made of impending financial disaster,
it has been found that track has been laid
on at least ITO lines in thir.y-seven states
and territories, adding a mileage of main
track aggregating no less than 4, 900. or.
in round numbers 5000 miles. The total

FINE CATTLE.

The Richardson Brothers, of Davenport,
yesterday sent two of their fine Jersey cat
tie to J. Drake at Riverside. The purchas
er is the well known hotel man of Chicago
who owns a beautiful summer residence al
Riverside. The cattle were sent from this
city via the G. B. & O., and attracted gen
sral attention and favorable comments
from those who saw them.
The same parties yesterday sold to Capt
T. J. Robenson of this city, fine speci-
men of the bovine race in the shape of a
Jersey COW.
The reputation of the stock owned by
the Messrs. Richardson is becoming quite
general, and as result their sales are
growing extensively

CRIMINAL CASES.

Yesterday Pete Morgart was before JUS
tice Cropper on charge of assaulting
Martin Kelly at the iron moulders' picnic
last Tuesday night.

known. as the accused was acting as a
special policeman. Some trouble arose,
and in the melee, Kelly was stabbed with a
knife. The wound was not of a serious
character The accused appeared yester-
day. and on his request the preliminary
examination was postponed until next
Tuesday.
West Reddig also put in an appearance
before Justice Chopper on charge of
buglarizing the residence of Major Connel-

Kahee hunted and trapped in the swamps
northeast of Annawan. They removed to
Nebraska Tidings have been received
that they were both hanged last week, by
a vigilance committee. 1t seems that to-
gether they stole several horses The Wig
lance committee was hot on their trail
when one of the Kahees aggravated theiI
offence by shooting and killing a man
named Sam Cain, also formerly from Hen
ry county, and well known to Marsha
Woodruff and others in Geneseo. After
the shooting the vigitants redoubled theil
exertions, captured the brothers, and
strung them up.

REPTILES.

The Henry County Nesos contains the
following:
The recent floods have been tough on
the snakes that infest the low lands. Over
north of Atkinson is large tract of eoun-
try that was completely inundated. AT
one place fence runs through an inter
minable stretch of swamp, Hooded with
water. This fence has been alive with
snakes. Every post and board that was
out of water has been completely covered
with sqnirming mass of Shiny reptiles,
endeavoring to save their lives. At an
other place in Lorraine township a solitary
bridge, about ten feet long and as many
wide, arose above a wide waste of waters.
The turnpike leading to this bridge was
covered out of sight. Two boys. idly
padding about in a boat one day, took a
notion to go to the bridge. They found
it hideous mound of snakes In some
parts of the bridge they were piled up a
foot or two thick Every variety Of snake
known to our climate was there,

STREET WORK.

Street Commissioner Atkinson has been
at work with a gang of men, improving
the Milan road, and he has also given sew
eral other streets the attention which they
deserve. As result the streets present a
better appearance than has been the case
for 10! these many years.
The conviction is gradually growing
that the street commissioner is attending
to the duties of his Office, and is thorough
ly in earnest in improving that portion OF
the city which comes under his supervision
and care.
There is no election near at hand, hence
no political cause can be assigned for his
assiduity in street work
Whatever the cause, the public generally
are appreciative of the fact that the streets
need attention of some kind, and are
mindful that some honest work has so far
been expended upon them.

One more of the old settlers has passed
away to eternal bliss in the person of Mar
garet Colman, the mother of John More
head of Buffalo Prairie, and the widow of
Jacob Colman. who in early time plated
and laid out Illinois City. Mrs. Colman
was in her eighty -seventh year. She was
true and CONSTANT member of the NJ E.
church. The funeral took place July the
second, at the M, e. church, the Rev. Mr..
Rood officiating The large church was
crowded with mourning friends and ac-
quaintances. She was buried in the city
cemetery by the side of Mrs. Blanchard
her only daughter, who passed away some
six years ago.
The Fourth of July celebration three
miles south of this city, held in Fishers
grove, passed off nicely, and everybody
appeared to enjoy themselves. The atten-
dance was large and the people of Buffalo
Prairie had an excellent programme which
was carried out. Mr.. Sander, of Musca-
tine, was the orator of the day. Professor
Young gave an address on prison life dur
ing the late rebellion. Mr. Young was a
prisoner twice and had a good chance to
know something about that kind of life.
