in opposition to the wishes of nineteen

cities, this mornings Union, evidently
| subsidized for the occasion.) contains the
wall of the capitalist; the wall of one who
sees in the construction of one of the
greatest popular benefits of the day the
possible destruction of a feIryboat bust
ness. The article, which is quite appro-
priately headed e'War to the Knife" con
tains nothing which by any possibility
could be distorted into an argument against
the construction of the road. On the CON
trary it is naught save the specious plea Of
the capitalist; the natural opposition of
Captain Robinson to seeing the popular
travel diverted from his ferry boat to the
street cars, as it most assuredly would
be. The facts boiled down are
simply these: Captain Robinson desires

tofore it has ''died in the borniu," very
naturally, as the Union sagely observes.
Every time he sought control, (which simp-
ly means every time the project was
broached,) the people, the masses who are
to control the new and absolutely necessary
means of transit, headed him off per
emptorily for the very good reasons that
they neither wanted monopoly nor both
lines of transit in the same hands.
In substantiation of the allegation that
Capt. Robinson insists that every dollar of
the regular passenger business between
Rock Island and Davenport shall be diver
ted into his pocket the ARGUS has only to
turn to his attempt, no later ago than last
spring, to make the bridge toll bridge for
the benefit of his ferry Gan indirect way

also remember how the people of both
sides of the river, like hornets raised con
siderable of hubbub about his ears, until
he was forced to openly desist from his
purposes.

PUBLIC INSTALLATION.
Canada.

The installation of both Swedish Olive
Lodge $50 and Moline Lodge 1873 l. o. o.
f. occurred last evening at Metropolitan
Hall. The committee in charge had taken
great pains to have this social even eclipse
all previous ones, and although the ex-
treme cold weather deferred a great many
from going yet all who went were amply
repaid. Dr. Morgan being first on the
programme delivered short address on
the workings of the order which was at
tentlvely listened to throughout and was
declared by all success. Then came sing
ing by the Nordenskjold singing society
after which Andrew Anderson, of Lodge
553 and Henry Veriech of Lodge 1873 in
stalled the officers of these respective
lodges. Then there was some more ex-
cellent singing by the singing society re-
ferred to above, which was followed by
general social time and a dance, Ogden's
band furnishing the music and large per-
centage Of those present tripped the light

export, Rock Island and Moline.
This is the first time the matter has been
put before the people, first, as an honest
enterprise, starting in on its own merits.
That the constructed road would be the
only means of transit between the two
cities which would be adequate is so patent
to everybody, man. woman aud child, that
it were the height of folly to sit deliber-
ately down to an argument Ordinarily
the ferry boat might. perhaps. be counted
on for service seven months in the year-a
liberal allowance in this latitude, but are the
people to be compelled to "hoof it, across
or submit to hack charges the remaining
five months? How is it. also. after very
early hour each evening when the boat
has tied up for the night, but cars
are running a couple of hours afterward
at least, on each side These are pertinent
questions, Captain Robinson, each one.
The point that the projected road would
break down the ferry is the .veriest
twaddle as parties of good financial stand
ing assure the ARGUS that they will
take the ferry at its valuation and agree to
run it fifty years.
At the proper time, when the subscrip-
ton books of the new street railroad shall
have been opened, the masses will have
chance to invest in what will prove to be
one of the best paying enterprises of the
day.

TOM RossINGToN.

Our old liners all rememb er poor Tom
Rossington, that vivacious Irishman who
first saw the light in 'fswate Dublin city
and who was quite closely identified with
the early history of Rock Island Tom
was naturally fellow of bright intellect
but like many another he loved 1.-The era
thur" too dearly and this was at last the
cause of his downfall. AT one time he
| opened saloon in small red shanty on
Second avenue. opposite st. Joseph
church, which he called "The Red Cow. 3"
Here Tom would sit the livelong day
and when business became dull he
would call in one and another of his
sup" gratuitously. This state of things
continued for about two months, when the
cow became dry and posr Tom was on the
town.
One night the early settlers decided to
have fancy dress ball, which was to come
off in the large, then unpartitioned. room
over what is now known as Uncle Jake
Ohlweilers saloon, in Second avenue. it
being understood that Tom Rossington
was to assume the character of an hishman,
which it was known he could do to perfec-
ton. The night of the ball came
round and Tom was there in
full Irish costume. including knee breeches,
'cobbeen" hat, shillalah, etc, Unfortu-
nately, however, he tackled the liquid re-
freshments at so early an hour and so i'm
moderately that he was barely able to
move. When his turn came to appear,
however, he staggered into the room and
before he could sing a note down he help
lessly sank in the corner, and he was
carried off by his fellow "old settlers" to
sober up.
After the ball, by invitation of Mr..
Stevens, then tailor in this city, quite

MADE AN ASSIGNMENT.

The ARGUS is panied to announce the
assignment of Mr.. A. w Anderson, the
enterprising young commission merchant
at the corner of First avenue and Fifteenth
street. who has been diligent and able in
business but whom the impossibility of
making collections has forced to suspend
A few days ago he sent out drafts for col
lection to the extent of 5000, and $4S2
were returned uncollected. In this mis-
fortune Mr.. Anderson has the confidence
of this entire community and if the stock
and mercantile paper on hand realize any
thing near their face value he will have the
best wishes of everybody for fresh start
in business.
Since the above was put in type, we
learn that Sheriff Reticker has levied on
the entire stock and closed up the estab-
lishment

on, he will become very popular manager
with the people. He has done good ser
vice for them already in Iowa. His recent
fight with Porter over the territorial pre-
emption question, put him on the side of
the people. During the recent cut in rates,
when applied to for instructions as to
rates, he replied "Oh, take the people
wherever they want to go, and bring them
back. This is great country, and NIGH
bors live far apart. Give everybody a
chance to go visiting, and take the family
and friends along" 1t must be conceded
that Mr. Merrill knows how to manage rail
roads. Controlling more miles of road
than any man in the world, he could hardly
be confined by territorial limitations in
''this big country"

OUT OF THE FIRE.

Having learned that Mr.. j. V. Mahoney,
one of the survivors of the Newhall dis
| aster, had arrived in town bearing upon
his face evidences of his miraculous contest
with yesterday mornings fearful holocaust
an ARGUS representative called at the
gentlemans residence, No 1919 Third
avenue this afternoon and found him en-
joying, as he probably never enjoyed be-
fore. the comforts and pleasures of home.
Across his forehead was a tell tale bandage
and across the lower half of his nose
another but these were external burns,
only as Mr.. Mahoney got out in time to
avoid inhaling flame.
His story of his wonderful deliverance
and of the frightful scenes of yesterday
morning brought the tears to his eyes, in
spite of efforts at repression, and would
easily fill two or three columns of the AR
GUS. He arrived at the Newhall, his old
home when in Milwaukee, on Tuesday
noon. The night WAS so very cold that
instead of giving him his old
room, No. 275 in the Annex, Tor
new and comparatively safe part of the
hotel,) he was assigned to warmer inside
room, No. 221, in the old part, which
faced the courtyard. He was awakened
about o'clock by hammering upon the
doors and other unusual noises. He arose,
went to the window and saw that the
court yard was brilliantly illuminated and
then taking his grip and clothing he ven
tured into the hall. What followed, his
confused cropping about, the EXPLANATIONS
of terror such as only proceed from the
lips Of those who are staring into eternity,
The ARGUS will draw a veil over. Behind
him all was fire and, with few others he
vas fairly forced by fame and smoke into
/ place of safety, the annex, whence he |
EASILY descended into the street.
Mr.. Mahouey's numerous friends in Rock |

was literally 'plucked as brand |

Upon reading in the last evenings issue
of the ARGUS what was termed the only
correct text of the bill to establish a street

Would its proposal to carry the mail nee
essarily include it in thecatalogue of ''Star
Rontes?" I'd: Should the parties now
seeking to appropriate 10 their own use
without compensation what has cost the
governme mt half million dollars, would
that entail upon the government a lawsuit
similar in magnitude and expense to the
