During the month of May last there
were ninety-four railroad accidents, where
by twenty four persons were killed and
eighty six injured. Seventeen of the killed
and fifty six of the injured were railroad
employees, leaving seven. of the killed and
thirty of the injured, passengers -or others,
for the list includes several tramps who
who were stealing rides. AS. compared
with May, 1881, there was an increase of
nine accidents; the number of killed was
the same, and there was an increase of ten
in the number injured. In the months of
1882 there have been reported 400 acct
dents, 1876 killed, and 515 injured This
makes monthly average of 100 accidents,
twenty-seven killed and 1913 injured. The

sTABBING ARRAY.

Last evening at the iron moulders' pic
mic held at Brooks Grove, in the upper end
of this city, little misunderstanding oc-
CURED between Martin Kelly and Pete
Morget.
The latter was acting as special police
man, but was not clothed in the garb of an
officer nor was he armed with badges
He attempted to arrest Kelly, and the
latter resisted. Some trouble ensued, dur
ing which Morget drew knife and inf1ict-
en- wound on his adversary. The wound
was located in the fieshy part of the thigh
and was not of serious character, as was
first supposed.
Kelly came down to the city, and was
attended by DR.. Plummer, who pronounc-
ed the cut of trivial character Morget
was arrested by the Moline police, and was
turned over by Marshal Henderson, of Mo
line, to the proper authorities of this city
at late hour this morning.
The affair occasioned considerable talk,
but the facts as stated above show it to be
of anything but sensational incident.

A SENSIBLE ORDER.

The postmaster general has issued an
order and sent out directions to the secret
mail service to report all violations in ref
erence to the practice in smaller offices in
the country in permitting persons to han
die the mail of others at the office. Great
complaint has been made-and the most
of it from western offices-that persons are
allowed to read the newspapers of others,
and frequently to carry them off with
them. There has been a great deal of
complaint from newspaper men in this line,
as they have received complaints from sub
scribers of papers not reaching them, when
it was clearly the fault of the handling af-
ter leaving the office of publication.

A FALL.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Freeburg, of
Moline, was riding with two visitors from
Chicago. The-party occupied double
seated rig, in which the visitor and his
daughter were occupants of the rear seat.
While going down Second avenue the
horse started at brisk trot, and in pass
ing over the crossing at the intersection
of Second avenue and Fifteenth street, the
jolt caused the rear seat to fall backwards,
and the lady and gentleman were thrown
violently to the earth.
The gentleman received severe cut in
the back of the head, and also complained
of internal injuries. The young lady was
not badly hurt, although somewhat bruis-
ed by the fall.
The injured man was conveyed to the
store of George Henry, in that locality.
where he recovered sufficiently to be taken
to Moline.

THEY WILL DO IT.

One thing has always impressed us as a
strange procedure. 1t is this; That when
a sick person has exhausted the skill of
physicians, the potency of drugs, the mer-
its of appliances of his own stock of credu-
lily, he then conceives that the Springs"
will do him good, and forthwith seeks
their fancied healing influence, only to ex
perience further disappointment. His all
ment may manifest itself in no special set
of symptoms other than that significant
general debility; yet this one is suffi-
cient to justify prompt and and immediate
attention to the establishment of normal
condition of health And how is this to
be accomplished best, do you ask? By
simply using Liebig Malt Extract, the
most energizing and health -bestowing ton
ic possible to obtain. 1t restores function
al activity, promotes digestion, enriches the
blood and prevents such tendencies of the
system as lead to the establishment of
morbific conditions.

DIVORCE CASE.

of whom were former residents of this

following:
The trial of of the divorce case of
Rachael r. Ball VS.. John w. Ball, was re-
sumed before Judge Richman of the Cir
cult Court this morning. after . recess of
about month. The plaintiff and defend
ant were both present, as was Miss Kate
Noble and her parents, of Chicago.
The most important feature of the testi-
mony so far as the plaintiff is concerned,
was brought out with MIR. j. s. Wylie on
the stand. He testified that standing one
day in May, $780, on the front porch of
his home at 18th and Rock Island streets,
he observed Miss Noble and Mr.. Ball in a
buggy driving up the ravine road south of
18th street. and saw them kiss each other.
Then they came on up the street, and Miss
Noble left the buggy in front of the house
of neighbor of Mr.. W., and went in
there.

ties to the suit, testified much as her

nation of cool to cold and wet generally.
Not that there viii not be terms of summer
warmth and even of intense heat for peri
DDS, but rather that these will appear in
the retrospect as of but comparative inslg
nifcance, or as the exception to the gem
eral rule.
g. The season will be marked by not
only great precipitation, but by muggi
ness of atmosphere generally, caused by
the reeking condition of the earth and the
long continuance of a cloudy sky. This
will result in periods of extreme sultriness
and heavy weather, during which the
thunder and hail storms will occur. In
other words the summer will be the reverse
of clear and dry.
3. There is likelihood of June and
August frosts in northern, western and
southern sections, and general cold wave
may occur toward midsummer.
4. The autumn months will continue
moist September will probably give rains
and floods in western Canada and in west
ern and southern sections of the United
States October will be much the same,
with early cold and snow falls. Novem-
Der will begin the winter of 1SS2-3-a
winter likely to be memorable on account
of its exceptionally heavy snow falls and
very cold weather over the whole northern
hemisphere That cold and wet summer
is invariably followed by cold and stormy
winter, is truth now so well proven and
borne out by testimony of past records
that we cannot lightly put it aside; and
if we have good and sufficient grounds for
predicting the former, as we most assured
ly have at this time-it is but right that
we should warn the people of the latter in
good season.
9Th and last The season viii probably
be the first of a couple of wet summers,
and as 1882 so is 1888 likely to be. But
here we must stop for the present.
