The Ordnance Sale at Rock Island Arsenal

The Ordnance Sale at Rock Island Arsenal
The sale of unserviceable arms and ord
nance stores which began Monday, was
completed yesterday Nathaniel Van
Tuyle, of Davenport, was the auctioneer.
The articles were rifles, carbines, pistols,
reYolvers, sabres, cavalry equipments,
etc, etc. There was quite large atten-
dance by representatives, from leading
houses in differens parts of the country
Everything that was put up was not sold
as the government reserved the right to
reject any bid not satisfactory. There
were representatives of firms whose bust
ness it is to furnish foreign governments
with arms: The sale amounted to thous.
ands of dollars The terms are ten per
cent on the day of sale, and the remain,
der when the property is delivered and
all stores must be removed within twenty
days from date of sale. In case of failure
of the purchaser to pay for, and remove
the stores within the time specified, the
sale is declared null and void, and the
margin of ten per cent deposited on &C
ceptance of the bill is forfeited to the
United States. Among the arms sold were
muskets and rifles with flint locks made in
1910 and old fashioned pistols before the
days of revolvers.

Yeargin-Devlne.

The above caption was to have been
the heading of an article to have appeared
in the ARGUS today, announcing the
marriage of Mr. L. T, Yeargin and Miss
Olive c. Devine. We put the heading
over the item just the same, although the
ceremony did not take place. and at the
present writing the probabilities are that
the wedding never will occur. The pros
pective groom had acted as a reporter on
this paper for some time past, and for a
while gave good satisfaction, being pos
sessed of considerable ability, if used in
the right direction. While preambulatin g
around the city in search for news, his
eyes met the heroine of this tale, and it
is said that mutual affection between the
parties was kindled. 1t is since supposed
that this affection was famed into flame
of love that was not eclipsed by the head
light of locomotive. At any rate, when
Nixie-that is his pet name-went around
to the county clerks Office yesterday, he
had Mr.. Donaldson write him out one of
those documents which is highly essential
that all love sick twains should have be

like most young men, he seemed to want

be married. But the fbest laid plans of

So it was with Mike. He thought
everything was in readiness for the nup-
tial event, when 10, and behold, the bride
cometh not. A hurried investigation re-
vealed the fact that she had changed her
mind through the influence of her pa:ernal
ancestor. We don't know what the rea
son was, but certain it is that she re-
NAMED within the quiet precincts of her
home, nor showed her face without its
sacred portals. When the foul news of
her new determination reached the ears
of him whom she had promised to wed,
his heart grew sadder than the whang-
doodle mourning for its lost young, of
whom he oft repeated. The sights that
to him before were pleasing, now burned
his heart to hate, and his soul yearned for
pastures new. He left while still the pail
OF darkness lowered DER the scene, but
not like the Arab, who acquainteth no one

had determined to levant, and that no
fatted calf need he kill, for his stomach
revolted against food. To US he babe

Accommodating.

The members of the Holly hose COM
pany are accommodating as well as valiant
tiremen. There has been some dispute
about letting the different hose houses in
the city to political organizations in which
to hold their meetings. Each company
has the right to use their house as they
please. and if they wish to charge for the
privilege of occupying them they can do
so. But the Holly boys will not charge,
as at meeting held last night it was de
cided to allow any political party the use
of it, whether they be democrats, repub
licaAs, greenbackers or prohibitionists
This shows an accommodating spirit
which is commendable. They will not
refuse small donations, however, to aid
in keeping the house clean. The Holly
boys have determined to give a picnic in
short time, and committees have been
appointed to make arrangements.

Killed By a Runaway.

A sad accident occurred yesterday af
ternoon to Phillip Kennedy, of South
Rock Island He had been to the city, and
while going home his horse became scared
and ran away, throwing him out of the
wagon and injuring him internally. His
son James Kennedy, of this city, was
notified, and with two physicians was
soon at his fathers side. Mr.. Kennedy
sank rapidly, however, and at p. m. he
breathed his last He was about seventy
five years of age, and was consequently
very feeble. His wife who was in the
wagon with him, escaped without injury,
which was very fortunate. No damage
was done to the hore or wagon.
The funeral of Mr. Kennedy will occur
tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock from
the st Josephs church. ALI friends are
invited to attend.

Tha Gnild-

The rain of Monday evening interfered
with the holding of the lawn party as
advertised by St. Catharine's Guild. The
festivities were held in the rectory instead
of the open air, and those present were
agreeably entertained. The receipts were
not as large as could be wished, which, of
course, was disappointment to the young
ladies. 1t might not be out of place to
select another evening for the lawn party,
which, if the weather is fine, would surely
be well attended.

AS will be noticed by the call for the

to thirteen delegates. Only six has been
appointed, the number selected two years
ago 1t will therefore be necessary to
select more delegates to complete the full
number.

Harbor Securing.

The work of cleaning the harbor at
Hampton is progressing finely. Captain
Whitney and Government Inspector
Beuck went up there this morning and
they expect to finish the job in about
fourteen days There is a steamboat, a
dredge and two dumps engaged in the
work, and the swiftness of the current
helps the work of excavating in a great
measure. Capt. Whitney has other boats
at work near Fort Madison.

DISCUSSING THEIR DEBTS.
b. ID. RafOrd & Co. Hold Deiiberati0n
With Their Creditors.

Today is day of great interest and
importance to B. d. Buford & Co, as
well as to the citizens of Rock Island gen.
orally. The conference of creditors which
commenced here this morning will decide
whether the mammoth pillow works will
be again started in operation, or be sold
under the hammer. To aid in the pros
perity and welfare OF the city it is neces>
sary that the hum of industry again re-
sound from the shops, instead of the
doors being closed against the workmen.
Of course the creditors interests are so
great that whatever steps they take will
be with view Of protecting themselves
as much as possible They cannot be
blamed for this, and they can hardly be
expected to stop and consider the loss
which the city will sustain, If they see it
is best for them to force a sale of the
property. A meeting of the insolv>
ents, creditors and assignee was
held this morning at the pillow works
office. Creditors representing
$250,000 OF LIABILITIES
were present and engaged in
the conference. Mr.. J. NJ. Buford,
the assignee, read his statement
or report A committee of five, cons
posed of Messrs. B. D. Buford, Bucking
ham, Brown, Bailey and Gould, were ap>
pointed for the purpose of devising plan
in which all interested could best be
served, or in other words, to discover the
best mode of procedure in the case. The
conference then adjourned until four
O'Clock this afternoon, when the commit
was TO report.
THE CREDITORS.
The following firms, creditors of B. D .
Buford Il Co, are represented: Russell,
Brdsall & Ward, Port Chester, New
York; Brown & Co., Pittsburgh; Singer,
Nimmick & Co, Pittsburgh; Beaver Falls
(Pa.) Steel Works; Chicago Malleable
Iron Works; Wisconsin Malleable Iron
Company, of Milwaukee; and the Lawson
Varmsh Company.
The gentlemen signify their willingness
to start the works in operation again if
possible, and appear to be very fair in
their demands. 1t will take some time to
arrive at an understanding, and in the
meantime the ARGUS can only hope that
the outcome of the deliberations will be
favorable to the Messrs Bnford and the
city.
