portunity of bringing the producte of the
soil to the fair. Wednesday was prac~
tically the opening day of the fair, and by
noon the exhibits in the different depart
ments was large The show of vegetables
was unusually fine, some specimens of
squash and cabbage being larger than ever

Sharks From the smokestack.

The Cannon ball train was twenty min
utes behind time this morning.
The Sylvan water railroad bridge is
now painted bright red.
Paul Hamilton, assistant ticket agent
at the C. r. l. & P depot went up to LIE
Claire this morning to spend the day.
The Peoria train started out with big
trip this morning. Conductor Hall is so
jolly that the people seem to like to ride
with him.
The St. Louis trains are bringing home
good many people who have been at
tending the st. Louis exposition.
1t is reported in railroad circles today
that Conductor Ketchingman, who was
in the collision near Lanark, has been
discharged by the G. NJ & St. P. folks.
Universal sorrow is expressed at this. as
he had been a faithful and popular cons
ductOr for fourteen years. The Daven-
port Democrat says that he received in
structions at Savanna to wait at a GER
tain station for train, but he neglected
to read them, and so pushed on, passed
the station he ought to have stopped at,
and before long ran into the train that
was to have passed him. Both locomo>
tivcs were badly wrecked, and baggage
and mail cars smashed. Nobody was faS
tally injured One engineer had his leg
broken. "Ketch's" many acquaintance
in Davenport will be sorry to hear of his
bad luck.
THE WRECK.
The debris caused by the wreck on the
c., NJ 6 st. P. road on Tuesday after
noon, was cleared away by last evening,
and trains were running as heretofore.
Assistant General Superintendent Earling
and Assistant Division Superintendent
Bush went to the scene as soon as posi-
bic Mr. Earling said the loss to the
company would amount to about $4,000.
The officials spoke kindly of Conductor
Rockingham, who they regarded as one
of their best and most careful men. The
accident was caused more by Il misunder-
standing than carelcssnoss. a freight
tram had passed Lanark Junction short
distance ahead of the extra which COllidcd
with his train, aid the conductor had
noted on the train mems register that an
extra train was to follow his. When
Conductor Kctchingman arrived with his
train he got an idea that there must be
some mistake about the noting on the reg
lister. and thinking that his train had the
right of way he melioned the engineer tC
| 90 ahead. Conductor Doc Bush has
| been ordered to take his train ConduC'
tor ketGhingman is the oldest passenger
man on this division OF the c., NJ. x ST
ST p road, having been in the employ oI
the company for about twenty years. Hi:
many friends sincerely hope that he vii
not be permanently relieved from duty
There is no question but that he is an eX
ccllent railroad man, and as such he ha
always stood high in the estimation of thu
officials, who, in treating his case. SHOULD
take into consideration his past faithful
|
services, and the circumstances which
caused the accident The best Of men vii
sometimes make mistakes, and accident:
will occur on the most carefully regu
lated railroads

Friday was the 5lst birthday of B
r. Munsop fOrman OF the Eigemoort
Iron CoMpaDy's blacksmith shops, and
his fellow workman planned TO give him
o surprise visit and at the same time
present him with Q token Of their ap.
probation Of his worth as man and
sbopnate. Accordingly some twenty.
five Of them assembled together and
proceeded to his residence No. 1903 West
Second street.
When they arrived Mr.. Munson was
seated in his parlor, surrounded by his
family, one of whom was playing on
the organ, totally unaware and unsus-
piclous Of the near approach Of the
men, and when they fled into the house
be was completely taken aback. He
managed, however, to welcome them,
and invited them to make themselves
at home. After short time spent In
social converse the company adjourned
to an adjoining room, when William X.
Long In few appropriate remarks pre-
seDted Mr.. Munson, on behalf Of his
shopmates, with a beautiful reclining
chair. This was another surprise, but
he recovered himself sufficiently To
reply In manner that showed the
evidence Of good feeling on the part Of
the men was highly appreciated by
him. The visitors were then surprised
by being invited to the dining room,
where o large table was loaded with
cakes, fruit, ,ggts. and confectionery.
After full just ce had been done TO the
many good things another hour was
spent in the parlor, where the company
was entertained with some excellent
vocal and instrumental music by Mr..
Munson's daughters and several of the
men after which they took there de-
parture, with many sincere wishes for
the future welfare and prosperity of
their foreman.
