CIRCUIT COURT.

Yesterday afternoon circuit court con-
vened in extra session with Judge Pleas
ants as presiding judge.
Several motions were entertained by the
court among which were motions to dis
miss the damage suits instituted by johann
IA Wendt against Hugh Gilchrist for the
loss of her husband on the Inflated steam
er Jennie Gilchrist The suits were two
in number and were for $1,000 damages.
One was instituted by the plaintiff as a
widow and the other as the executrix of
the estate They were dismissed on plain
tiff's motion and at plaintiffs cost.
Arguments were made in the injunction
case of Peter Vetter against F. NJ Tindall.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago the latter constructed dams across
slough running through his farm on Rock
river, causing the back water to flood the
property of Vetter, which is adjacent The
latter asked for an injunction to restrain
Tindall from maintaining the dam, alleging
that great damage resulted to him from
that cause.
The injunction was granted, and the
obstruction removed.
Yesterday the case came up on motion
of the plaintiff for a continuance. The
motion was resisted by the defendants
counsel.
Arguments were made, and the court
granted the desired continuance, until Ger
After the transaction of some unimportant
business, the court adjourned until the
next term.

water whenever the river overfows its
bank, as is the case with all roads that
follow the river banks
For these reasons it is presumed that
this line will not be selected, as in addi-
ton to the objections already named, such
line would traverse a portion of the
country that is but sparsely settled. On
this account its business patronage would
be quite small. No good reason has been
advanced why such line should be.cho-
than the Milan route.
The Milan line is about fourteen miles
from Rock Island to Andalusia, but il
passes through Milan, and a country that
is more thickly settled. and therefore better
adapted for the contemplated route.
These are the reasons assigned by Mr..
Stoddard why he will report in favor of
the Milan line.
Considerable interest is still manifest
ed along the line as to what financial or
ganization is backing the proposed new
road, but the managers appear to have
money sufficient to pay all current ex-
penses, and do not volunteer any informa-
ton as to where it comes from.
1t is expected that Col. Jouett, General
Manager of the road. will arrive in the
city during the present week, when a de-
cisien will be arrived at concerning the
route to Andalusia, and the surveying
party will be started from Andalusia to
that portion of the road.
1t is claimed that work will be COM
meneed at once, and that portion of the
road will be in operation by next fall -

J. Wynn, B. O'Brien and K. Atkinson
put in an appearance yesterday before
Judge Adams of the county court, where
information had been filed against them
for assaulting G.. Engstry at Claus Aliens
saloon ON Second avenue, last Tuesday.
The three boys were all disposed to plead
guilty, and after the court had explained
to them the nature ard effect of such a
proceeding they all entered plea of
guilty.
The court thereupon imposed fine of
$50 and costs against each of them, and
ordered them to be committed to the
county jail until their fines We're made
good.
Atkinson raised the necessary amount
at once and was discharged as also did
O,Brien, and he likewise was given his
liberty.
The third member of the party was not
so fortunate, and he was remanded to Jail
to await financial assistance.

The republicans this season are enjoying
more family fights than is usual to occur
in a single year. They are still in the
midst of a quarrel over the county ticket
and are commencing struggle for the
county delegation to the congressional CON
vention. A certain faction is pushing w.
I'll. Gest, of this city, to the front for the
nomination while another faction swear by
the left ear of the sacred mule that they
win beat Gest if it takes all summer.
The unpleasantness is not confined to
Rock Island countyibut extends throughout
this congr essional district. The TWO lead
ing aspirants for the congressional nom
ination on the republican ticket are Col
B. f. Marsh, of Hancock, the present
member of congress, and Maj. McClaughry
warden of the -penetentiary at Joliet.
Both of them now hold an office, and both
of them think that they should be contin-
ued in some official capacity Honors
are therefore easy on that score.
Marsh claims that the nomination is due
him, on account of the political customs
which returns a man to congress who has
halfway represented the district.
The McClaurghry men affirm that Marsh
don't amount to a row of beans in congress,
but is a mere figurehead, only heard when
voting on some measure that the party or
opposition leaders have originated. They
claim that the district should be represent
ed by a man who will take some position
in congress, and predict that if Marsh
is re-nominated democrat will beat him
at the polls.
Warren county has instructed for Nc
Claughry, and Schuyler for Marsh. In
Hancock county, a row occurred at the
county convention, and two sets of dele
gates were selected in the interest of the
two candidates.
Mercer county will probably come to
the front for Marsh, as will also McDon-
ough.
The conclusions are that Marsh will be
nominated after struggle, and the demo
Gratis have it in their power to name the
next congressman from this district.

FARM NoTEs.


The practice of feeding stock on the
ground is not economical. IF you feed
out doors, provide racks to hold the feed
The actual loss TO the farmer, oftentimes
in single season, exceeds the cost of the
necessary racks for effectually saving this
waste. Any farmer with little lumber, a
saw, hammer, nails, ak and auger can
make one.
We know of wealthy farmer, says
correspondent, who, up TO few years ago,
tailed to get good crops, though manure
was literally piled upon the land regard
less of expense. Lime was suggested, and
used in large quantities, and the best crops
ever known on that farm have since been
raised. The more manure the more
lime, . and the converse is equally true.
