ABUSE

There appears to be somewhat of SEN
sation at Sterling, over the discovery that
a young orphan child Of that place had re-
ceived most brutal treatment from the
family where she was at work. 1t is be-
lieved that she is the same girl who few
months ago ran away and was recaptured
in Rock Island and returned to her en-
ployers.
The details of the affair are that an
orphan child was taken by family named
Seymour, the woman having formerly been
Miss baltimore, of Greenville. The
child was whipped and pounded until at
the point of death. A neighbor discovered
the affair and reported it, and the Sey
mours fled. But public indignation was
so hot that people went in every direction
in search of the fugitives, and they Were
found in Greenville, taken back, and after
being bound over in the sum Of $4,000
each, to appear for trial at the April term
of the Whitsside circuit court, and narrow
ly escaped being mobbed They were
locked up in jail at Morris.

Rock Island grocers lately entered into
an agreement to close their respective
places of business at Z o'clock every even
ing except Saturday. This move has been
carried out for some time, but there is con
siderable talk about return to old prac-
tees Those who favor later hour fol
closing their establishments, maintain that
it gives the streets deserted appearance
at night, and therefore the city does not
favorably impress strangers during their
visit. This feeling has been augmented by
recent reduction on flour by single
firm, which will have tendency to make
things extremely lively in the near future.
The competing houses will -seon make the
same reduction, and a first class, lively
fight on prices of groceries is anticipated.

THE INQUEST.

The coroner's investigation of the death
of Schnoor, who was brutally murdered q
short distance from Davenport last We'd
nesday evening, did not elicit any impor-
tant evidence yesterday. Tho impression
seems to be general that the murder was
committed by two men, who were either
drunk or elae attempted to play that dodge
upon their victim. This theory is strength
ened by the testimony of the young boy,
Cowderly, who heard the conversation be-
tween the murderers and the deceased, and
also by the fact that two men were met by
other witnesses in that vicinity on the
night Of the murder
The information is so imperfect that it
viii be very difficult for the police to work
up case, aud without some unforeseen ac-
cident occurs to reveal the identity of the
two murderers, it will be next to impos-
sible to make case against any OF tbs
suspected parties.
The coroner's jury will hold session
next Monday morning.

There has been some correspondence be
tween the Rock Island Board of Education
and the Davenport Board anent the actions
of a certain school official, of the latter
city, which is anything but complimentary
to the Davenport pedagogue.
1t appears that short time ago the
Davenport member visited one of the pub
lie schools in this city, and asked to see a
certain teacher engaged in the building.
His request was granted, and during the
interview the visitor having ascertained the
salary paid by the Rock Island Board of
Education, offered an increase, provided
the teacher would resign and accept a
place across the rlver.
The members of the Rock Island Board
learned of this transaction, and immediate
" raised the salary, as they thought it
would be policy to increase the pay rather
than have the teacher depart in the middle
of the term. They acknowledge that there
is no law to prevent a member of a brother
Board from entering school room and
attempting to secure teacher by offering
an advance on the salary paid; but at the
same time they feel that it is unEecoming
q person who makes any pretentions to
gentility, person engaged in educating
the children, to indulge in such conduct.
p The purpert of the letter written by the
Rock Island Board to the Board of Daven-
port, was that the former thought that
such conduct was not the proper caper,
and that it was not consistent with the
previous friendly feeling that had charac-
terized the treatment of the two associs-
tons.
No response has been rece lived to the
letter at late hour this afternoon, and it
is thought that reply will be made which
may explain the peculiar conduct of the
Davenport visitor.

sus Vogele and others, returned verdict
in favor of the plaintiff, and assessed hel

further time. He made few remarks to
the effect that the prosecuting attorney,
Mr.. Parmenter, had stated that the
