The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-12-02

The Beck Islander is entertaining it
self and trying to amu5e its readers by
attempting to prove that Congressman
Neece's vote on the bridge railway hurt
him in this county. And how do you
think it tries to do it, BY adding the
Cleveland and Butler vote together; and
by this process it shows that Mr.. Niece
only ran IA in the city and Al IN the coun>
ty less than Cleveland and Butler COM
bincd We recognize, and the people rec
ognize Neece's vote in this county as very
complimentary Representative republi-
cans who have no interest in the ferry OF
bridge railway do not hesitate to say if
that question had been the issue alone
before the people, and there had been no
politics in this campaign, that Neece
would hare carried the county by large
majority. The conceited and determined
effort made to defeat Niece a few days
before the election in this county, and its
miserable failure, chagrins the
men who led the attack more
than the defeat of Blaine. They
expected Capt Petrie would have
not less than 1900 majority in this coun
ty. They made him believe this, and to
secure it without question advised him to
go home, raise money, mortgage his farm
if necessary, bring it here and they would
take care of the fight. The captain is Il
wiser, if not richer man than the day he
was nominated. Warm political cams
paign as it was Niece got republican votes
in this comfy by reason of his vote on the
bridge railway. The great bulk of the
nationals voted for him, but there were
some employed and controlled by the
ferry company who did not vote for him.
Danforth himself only supported Niece
because the honest and spontaneous sen"
timent of his party demanded it. And
this moment, if he could make more by
knitting Neece than by supporting him,
he would without hesitation choose the
knife.

Last evening the Miss Louise Sylvester
company appeared at the opera house in
Little Ferret" freaks had been adver-
tised for last night) to a miserably poor
audience Little Ferret is a protean
play and the scenic effects usel in its
presentation last night served to make it
very realistic. Miss Sylvester appeared
in seven different characters, in some of
which she gave her charming songs and
dances This evening she appears in her
great success, Freaks, comedy with
out n rival on the road The company is
strong and worthy of the hearty support
of our people, and this evening the thea
tire should be crowded.
Last night many Rock Islanders went
over to Davenport to see Burr Oaks,
the great melo drama, in which Charles
Bently is making such decided hit this
season. The play is of "The Silver
King" order and the company, which pre-
senLed it last night is strong in every part
and more finished rendition is hardly
possible. The audience was greatly
pleased with the play and the perform
ance. 1t is to be repeated this even
ing and the ferry boat will make trip to
Rock Island after the performance.
Next Monday evening we are to have
those kings of mirty provokers Thatcher,
Primrose & Vests consolidated MINISTRIES.
This great consolidation is composed of
George Thatcher, comment is unnecessa.
ry; Primrose and West, simply the best;
Frank McNish, tie medical faculty's
anatomical enigma, and an army of song
and dance artists, banjoists and singers
that cannot be beaten Frank Howard,
the sweet singer, author Of "Only a Pansy
Blossom" which was so popular couple
of years ago, is member of the compa-
ny. OF course the theatre will be
crowded.

MORE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The New Company and What 1t Pro.
poses to dO--.The City to be in
Blaze of Glory.

This morning the brick work was be.
gun on the new electric light building at
the corner of Nineteenth street and First
avenue, and it is expected. if this fine
weather continues, that the roof will he
on the building within ten days. A large
force of men are employed at the build
ing, excavating for water pipes, wheeling
away the debris of the old building, lays
ing brick and getting the timbers into
shape.
The new building will be 36x4S feet in
size, one story high. Mr.. s. J. Collins is
the architect and contractor. VIM At
kinson is doing the brick work
The new electric light company, in
which Messrs Thos and Sam Davis are
largely interested, propose to supply their
patrons with the Weston United States"
light, the same that is nov being used in
Moline. These lights are hung out in
front OF a building or inside or both, If
the person using them may so desire
They shed Il very brilliant, soft light
which is agreeable to the eyes and salts
factory as an illuminator.
1t is understood that nearly every bus
mess house on Second avenue not already
Supplied with electric light has contracted
for this light so that the street will be as
light as day when they are lighted. Many
business houses and other places about
the city have also ordered the Weston
light. The electricity is conveyed to the
burners by means of wires stretched on
polcs-no towers are used
The engine and dynamo to be used by
the new company are TO be very power
full and complete so that there will be no
annoyance in regard to poor light. All
this machinery has been ordered and will
soon arrive.
Mr.. Sam Davis, who is absent on bust.
ness connected with the new enterprise,
is expected home this evening or tom0r-
row morning. 1t is probable that the
new system of electric illumination will
be in operation in II month or so.

Council Notes.

Last evenings session of the city coun-
Gil was a pretty lively one. Alderman
Lalkin talked right out in meeting when
he had anything to say, and 50 did Alder-
man Bennett and they had frequent little
tits about the new electric light company.
Alderman Bennett offered resolution to
the effect that hereafter all poles erected
for any purpose should be taxed, and sup
ported his position by lengthy speech
in regard to the heavy Indebtedness of
the city and the necessity of securing
revenue in all legitimate ways from peo-
pie who enjoy mon0polistic privileges.
Shortly after this along came petition
from ThOs and Sam Davis asking for the
privilege OF erecting poles on streets and
alleys for the purpose of furnishing cleo
trio light to citizens OF the city. Alder
man Henry moved that the petition and
ing, and then Alderman Larkin made
red hot speech against any such proceed
ing, and said that he thought there was a
''nigger in the fence" in view of the resO-
luton offered by Mr.. Bennett, inasmuch
as it provided for the taxation of poles to
be erected, and left those now mp to go
free This M Bennett denied in warm
speech, saying that his resolution only
exempted the poles which conveyed wires
directly to the tower. and then there was
more spat,ing during which half dozen
aldermen were on their feet at once, and
| Alderman Lafrenz became disgustcd and
said he had been ignored by the mayor all
the evening and the latter said he had
been no such thing, that there was no
question before the house, properly speak
ing, and he proposed to put the question
before there should be any more
speeches. and he did. but then
Alderman Lafrenz refused to speak.
Alderman CavanauCh arose and made a
few tart remarks about the inconsistency
Of Alderman Larkin. Early in the session
the latter had kicked about the railroad
way of doing business that had been car
ried on by the council at times to the det>
riment of the city's interests, and now he
was kicking because the council would
not instantly grant permission to a
company of which it knew nothing, to
stick poles up around the city. Then
Alderman Bennett Clipped in and
thought the council should in
vestigate what this new con-
Germ was. and who composed it, But
in the end Alderman Larkia carried
his point by having the matter referred to
committee with power to act. He says
his only reason for having been so prom
Inent in the discussion was the fact that
il the petition had been laid over for
month in all probability the ground would
have been frozen 50 that the poles could
not he placed in the ground aud as the
company is busiIy engaged in erecting its
building and has purchased its machinery
he thought it only fair for the com
pany to be allowed to erect its poles as
as the same permission had been granted
other companies. 1t was the liveliest
meeting the council has had for long
time.

THE OUTRAGE CASE.
The Testimony i'm the Case.-.What Ig-
nOrant Girls Must Suffer-.
Public Opinion.

1t was nearly five o'clock last evening
when Linnie Mead, the girl who claims to
have been outraged by Charles C"Tod")
Gray and Mike Corken early Sunday
morning, was placed on the stand to tes>
tify in the preliminary examination of the
case Tina Biomquist had been on the
stand all day since 10 o'clock. The rea.-
son of her being so long detained thereon
was the argument of technical law
point. 1t seems that when the new
States Attorney, W. J. Entrikin, made out
the warrants for the arrest of the young
men implicated in the outrage of Sunday
morning, he filled the blank out as being
for rape committed upon both the girls
and to this Tina Blomquist ignorantiy
swore and then on the witness stand she
positively swore that she had not been
outraged. The defense claimed that the
case at best was nothing more than as
sault and the prosecution objected and
long and tedious argument followed and
finally the girl went on 10
tell her story, synopsis of which was
given in the ARGUS last night Then
Miss Mead was put upon the stand and
testified to the brutality to which she had
been subjected She told of the indignl-
ties she suffered in the hack driven by
Tod" Gray out on the Milan road, and of
the repeated outrage in the Social Six
club room by Corken.
The severe cross examination of Major
BearlsIey succeeded in bringing cut de-
tails unfit for publication. The weakness
and ignorance of the girl was
shown by her accompanying her
despoilcrs to the Social Six club room
after having received such treatment at
their hands. The further fact that she
testified that neither of the men hurt her
to speak of, and that she only kicked and
slapped them, and did not scream, weak
ened the case of the prosecution. And
then when asked to point out Gray, who
first outraged her, she smilingly pointed to
ward him. 1t is evident. that the girl is
not perfectly balanced in her mind
The general opinion of citizens about
the city, however, is that the young men
who committed the outrage should be sent
mp on general principles. Said one citi-
zen: The only thing that saves the wives
and daughters of the best citizens OF
Rock Island from these young toughs is
that they know that they are protected
and the hloods know that if they were to
assault one of them, justice would be
melted ont to them quick and elective
in other words they would never live 10
assault another lady Knowing this they
pick out the ignorant, weak unprotected
girls for their victims.
The four young men were released last
evening, held in the sum of So 900 each TO
appear again this morning. The hearing
of the case was resumed at 8 o'clock and
at noon only two of the defendants had
testified, and there were two more de-
PENDANTS, and three witnesses, who had
been to the Social Six club room. The case
is being very closely fought by the attor>
neys and it was thought this afternoon
that the examination would not be cons
cluded before dark tonight. No new facts
that the reading public would care to
know were developed today.
