A Bloody Spree.

Down at the St. Louis s. ST. Pau
Packet Cos. Office this morning was a
couple who had landed from the steamer
White Eagle. They were man and wife,
and their name is Morgan. Mr.. Morgan
is a very frisky sort of an old chap. He
was smoking little stump of pipe when
the ARGUS cmmisary entered the office
He appeared not TO recognize the breyity
of this life and was industriously Ginning
the agent. When the reporter entered
Mr.. Morgan sized him up, and observed
in double back action voice, I've been
on bloody spree since the first bloody
day of bloody April The scribe thought
that was bloody long time.
Yes sir" continued the bloody Mr..
Morgan, I've had bloody lot O fun,
dye see? My wife here got bloody
scared that had left the bloody country
and made a bloody trip from Streator,
where we live, to-tO-tO what's the
bloody name of that bloody town? All,
blast my bloody eyes, yes, Saltwater.
Now we are on our way home. We arc
going to see this bloody town before we
go any further Wen leave for Streator
this evening"
The bloody reporter left the bloody
couple admiring the bloody big bridge
and hopes that they will get to theil
bloody town bloody right side up with
bloody care.

The j. S. Keator came down last even

The river continues to rise, and it is eX.

The White Eagle passed down this
morning with big trip. She took ON a
big load of freight here.
The Silver Wave came down with a

is on such occasions.

No German in His.

Mr.. John j. Reimers had the honor of
introducing Gen. Oglesby to the corporal's
guard which listened to his speech at
Union square. In commencing Oglesby
said that he had once visited the Fader,
land, and had travelled over its entire ex-
tent but he had never been able to intro
duce German in the German language
Yet he felt felicitated that it was his for
tune to be introduced here by a Young
German in our own beautiful English
language"
We are glad to see that Oglesby has
acknowledged his incapability of speak,
ing the German language. 1t would be a
good idea for him to take lessons from
Carter Fl. Harrison, who speaks German
very fuently When large delegation
of distinguished German citizens paid
this country visit several years ago, Mr..
Blaine, if we remember rightly, said that
he would turn them over to the accom-
plished mayor of Chicago. Mayor Har-
rison received them cordially and made
them an address of welcome in German,
which greatly pleased them. Although
Old Dick abuses Garter Harrison at every
turn, it is apparent to all that Chicago's
best mayor is head and shoulders above
Oglesby in intellect and ability.

The tailors are still out on a
strike. A proposition was made
to them by their several employ
ers the other day, which they de-
cided to reject. They are holding another
meeting in Turner hall as we go to press.
They scott at the idea that the merchant
tailors of this locality can secure tailors
from ST. Louis or Chicago for the prices
now paid. What they want is something
like this; For making sack coat suit,
which costs the purchaser $40, they want
$3.50 for making the coat. So so for max
ing the pants, and 81 so for making the
vest-$11.50 in all. They say that coat
maker cannot make more than two coats
per week, and that 81 so each would be
only SIS per week, which they considered
small pay. They have decided to hold out,
and the merchant tailors, it is understood,
have concluded not to accede to their re-
quest, so that the chances for a long strike
are favorable.

Jordan

Jordan has hard road to travel. Jor-
dan is n coon. He shines en- up for a
nickle if he can't get dime Only last
Sunday he was arrested for fighting with
some boys. Monday he was fined S. and
costs, and he is now paying his fine by
installments. Yesterday some one gave
Jordan a white stovepipe hat. This
morning while pursuing the even tenor
of his way at the Peoria depot fellow full
of "budge" damned Jordan's hat down
over his ears and smashed in the top of
it. Jordan sprang to his feet, and raised
his boot backing box and threatened to
everlastingly obliterate the chap from the
face of the 'yearth." His eyes flashed
fire and the whites of them rolled around
in vicious way. He was just about to
begin on the fellow when Officer McCabe
came along and made Jordan move on.
The roughs all make Jordan butt OF
their rude jokes. They should let the
poor old coon alone.

Now that all of the legislative candi-
dates are in the field, that is if the st.
John or Belva Lockwood parties do not
make nominations-we can squint around
and pick our men, There are four candi-
dates, but only three can be elected. The
question now arises, who is going to be
left out IN the cold, dreary expanse of
remorse?" The democrats have nomi>
mated that excellent and upright citizen
of Henry county, Mr.. James II. Paddelford.
He will certainly be elected. Messrs. Now
ers and Cleveland are the republican
nominees, while John Wilson poses as
the shining light of the greenback, anti
mOnopolist labor party. Of these Now
ers will undoubtedly be elected, and if
there is any contest, il will fall between
Cleveland and Wilson. 1t is said that the
Henry county folks swear by all that is
good and holy, that they will not swallow
Cleveland. But they will have to swallow
somebody, and it is not likely that their
palate will take kindly to Wilson. Rather
would they plump three votes for their
beloved Mowers, or give Paddelford a
boost. However, it is very likely that the
Henry county republicans will not bolt
Cleveland at the ballot box Their love
for the party will cause them to 60 it
straight. Cleveland should not grow
faint hearted over the low mutterings that
are now threatening his star of glory
They should brace him up to renewed en-
ergy and vigilance. There is no chanc. of
him coming under the wire ahead of Pad,
delford, but he might finish good third
if he bestirs himself actively in his own

Hamlet Democrats.

The democrats of Hamlet, Mercer coun>
ty, had rousing meeting last Saturday
evening, which was addressed by the Hon
W. II. Neece. A gentleman from Hamlet
says that the meeting was one of the
most enthusiastic ever held in that vicin :
ity. A flag pole, 81 feet high was raised
Saturday afternoon, and a Cleveland and
Hendricks flag run up to the top of it.
The Gable and Presumption bands were
present, and also one hundred horsemen
belonging to the Cleveland and Hendricks
clubsof the latter place. 1t was great
political meeting.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Moline Man Meets His Death on the
Railroad While Returning From
the Republican Meeting in
this City Last Night.

A fatal accident occurred on the Four.
teenth street C. r. 1. & P railroad cross
ing in Moline about midnight last night.
The Blaine and Logan clubs of Moline
were returning home in fiat cars after the
close of the proceedings in this city.
Among others in the car next to the last
one was man named Swan Abram Girls
berg. Swede. The forward end of the
car was missing, leaving no barrier be-
tween it and the bumpers. In the car
was a number of colored men who had
got into a fuss with crowd of Butler
men at the Halfway house, where the
train halted for moment Stones were
thrown and several parties were severely
injured among them was H. E. Barber, of
the Keator house, who was badly cut in
the head. Mr.. Gribcrg was standing up
in the car listening to the details of the
scrimmage as related by the darkies.
His back was toward the direction of the
train, and as the latter suddenly slackened
on the above mentioned crossing, the man
became overbalanced and staggering back
fell between the cars. He fell face down.
ward and across one of the rails, and
while in this position the car passed over
him. A number of persons who saw the
accident sprang from the cars and ran
back to the victim. One man raised Mr.
Griberg's head when he gasped time or
two, and died. He was conveyed to his
home where an examination showed that
his back had been broken and that he was
bruised in various places. He was not
mangled. There exists a difference of
opinion as to how the accident occurred.
Some people believe that Mr.. Griberg
mistoOk the rear end of the car ahead for
the forward end of the car be was in and
started to cross into the next car. and
thus stepped upon the bumpers before he
knew it. But the fact that he saved a
mans life not ten minutes before he lost
his own, by snatching him off the bump
ers, rather iisposes of this theory.
Coroner Halves held an inquest today
with the following jury: W. A. Meese,
foreman; Henry Mapes, Frank Anderson,
Levi Cralle, John Lindgren and Ed Kit
telsen. The jury, after listening to the
testimony, returned verdict in accor>
dance with the above facts. Mr.. Gribere
