Jennie Gilehrist victims
The ParRer-Harwood alleged enbezzle
ment case was dismissed by Justice Halves
this morning, because of the insufficiency
of the complaint. The figures of the
alleged steal did not appear in the war
rant. merely general allegation. which
put it out of whack with the. statute
Harwood was. therefore, discharged.
Yesterday morning the death occurred
of Peter Kale, the young man who was so
horribly wounded week ago while out
cunning. The funeral services. winch
were held this afternoon at St Mary s
church, We're very largely attended,
including st. Patrick's Benevolent Asso-
ciatien, preceded by a full brass band.
The musical portion of the Easter ser
vices at Trinity church yesterday was of
the usual high order of excellence, al
though Mr.. Cornes was. laboring under
severe indisposition The thanks of the
congregation are due all of the singers,
especially to the Moline gentlemen who
at great personal Inconvenience took
part.
Alderman Henry has the record of hay
ing been one of the hardest working and
most successful couneilmen generally that
Rock Island has ever had. Always keenly
solicitous for the welfare Of his immedi-
ate constituents he looks out for the in
terests of the city generally, and the reo-
pie of the Third ward. without regard to
party. should be- only too glad to have
him continue to serve them.
While in Toronto Mrs Langtry, accom-
panied by her agent Mr.. Schwab, drove
Ia st. james cemetery To see the grave of
her brother. Lieut. TrcVer lie Breton,
who died in The hospital. in that city
September, 1870. at the age of %. and
was buried there Searches made%in the
register atsthe vestry recalled the exact
spot of his interment. and arrangements
were made to exhume the remains and
RENTER them in another part of the GENE
terry 4 handsome monument will also
be erected over the grave.
The crews of the several steamers
wintering. here says the Alcdo Democraf,
are on hand getting them ready for bust
ness The favorite packet. Maggie
Reaney. viii start on her regular trips
soon. She steaG.ed down to the coal
yard on Sunday for coal. and went up the
river to load q lot uf timber for Fort
Madison.
Geneseo Republican,: MIR. JOS. Weimel
informs us that all of his coal lands, to-
the Andersons, have been leased by the
firm of Morgan, Mitchell & Co., of Rock
Island. Mr.. Weimer is not posted as to
how it is expected to utilize the large
bodies of coal embodied in the lease. II
may be that the lease is made in anticipa
ton of the building of the narrow gauge,
or some other line of road, for certainly
unless transportation can be secured n
lease will be of no practical value"
The Milan street car got off the track
in this city Saturday evening and had to
stay here all night.
Our attention has been recently called
to some unusually fine specimens of
colored covers and calenders which far
surpass anything in that line we have
seen. They are from the house of Achert
& Co, Cincinnati. Ohio, and are not as is
usually the case made on stone or litho-
graphed. They are merely wood cuts
and electro types and can be printed in
any ordinary Office. This house is max
ing a specially of this class of color work
and employs large force of artists and
engravers in its production They make
and deliversthe cuts and plates direct to
the customer and furnish hun a set of
proofs that make it possible for any
priater to print them. 1t looks to us like
a move in the right direction and will
enable manufacturers and others to pat
ronize home printers and still secure the
most artistic effects. Mr.. Geo. A. Coffin.
so favorably known through his former
with Hallock of Peoria and
shober & Carqueville of Chicago, is en-
gagged in introducing this work and will
doubtless be seen often in this vicinity.
The ARGUS has improved facilities for
doing Job work of all kinds. 1t employs
none but the best of workmen, while its
material is of the latest style and is being
constantly added to. Its stock of fancy
stationery is large and varied; its supply
of all kinds of commercial stock is prac-
tically unlimited, and its prices are rea-
sonable. The best of work guaranteed.
