The New Bridge Bill.

The Chicago Times Washington cor~
respondent says of the bridge bill that it
is an act TO authorize the construction of
bridge across the Mississippi river at Rock
Island, H., and Davenport, Ia, and to
establish it as post route. This bridge
is to be constructed by the Davenport
and Rock Island Bridge company, for the
accommodation of the Moline, Rock ISIS
and and Southern railroad, and the DAY
export, Ia, and Dakota railroad, and any
railroads, that are or may hereafter be
built. The company is to lay track
across the bridge, and is to receive reas
enable compensation from all roads using
the same. By the terms of the act the
bridge, which is to be provided with q
pivot draw, must be erected in such a
manner as to interfere as little as posi-
BILE with the navigation of the river, and
as it is to be post route no higher charge
will be made upon it for transportation
than the rate per mile paid to railroad and
transportation companies leading to it.

A new apparatus has been put in at the

transmitter support, by which the trans

caused by the connection Of the transmits

The Storm


The wind storm which has been grow
ing in force ever since yesterday may be
termed Ito use an expressive if not elegant
wordl shorter Ii fills everything
that is not sealed in an air tight recepta>
Gle with dust aud almost takes pedestri~
ans from their feet. The storm extends
over very wide territory, and it looks as
though We had not experienced the worst
of it yet for they are having extremely
cold weather on all sides. In Virginia
and North Carolina they are having snow
storms and the coolest weather ever ex.
perienced at this time of the year. In
Wisconsin it is the same way, the ther-
mometers marking between thirty and
forty degrees below zero. In Arkansas
stormy cold weather prevails. The
storm flag at the Davenport sig
nal station has not yet been
hoisted and it is hoped that we will
escape anything more serious than the
present blow.
The wind has played many freaks dur
ing the day. On Second avenue it caused
Il race with tlve entries-the wind, two
hats and two men. One man, tall and
thin. wearing a soft felt hat, was walking
west on Second avenue wheH a sudden
gust sent his hat sailing away He start
ed and made fun for about half block,
he following with strides which would
discount giraffe. When he had gone
the half block, short stout man came
along going west. He saw the man and
hat coming and stopped to catch the hat
His hand came down where the hat had
been, but it was through train and
didn't stop at that station. Just as the lit
tie mans hand went down, his Derby went
up, rs though anxious to keep its brother
hat company The big little man then
started in the race as the little big man
came along, and being fresh they ran
about even, the big little mans short legs
taking about three steps to the little big
mans one. For over block they con-
tinued about even, when the hats were
brought up standing against fence
corner trying to blow through the plckets.
The air about that corner was blue-not
sky blue, but deep, decided navy blue.
1t was not blue with cold either, but
more likely with heat and expletives,
which seemed TO radiate from the big lit
lie man and the big little man like light
from The electric towers.

SUBURBAN SIFTINGS.

Coal VALLEY, March IS.
The eclipse on Monday, seemed to have
brought a cold wave.
Mr.. George Tomlinson, of Orion, was
here on Yesterday.
A case of matrimony is expected before
long, in the environs of this place.
The Masons have Lad an instructor
here. Mr.. Douer, he gave several lessons
to the lodge last week.
The man that bought Peter Haupt's
farm, M. Dewitt, of Henry county, has
taken possession, and moved his family
and effects into the dwelling.
During the time of the blow on Satur-
day afternoon, an alarm was given, that
Thomas Lees, Esq. dwelling was on fire,
but it proved to be a false one. 1t was
only blaze going out of the top Of the
chimney.
The remains of Mrs. L. &. Thomas ar,
rived here on Friday morning and were
inferred in the Coal Valley cemetery.
The funeral procession proceeded from
the Presbyterian church, the Rev. James
Rowe officiating. Mrs. Thomas was q
most es.imable lady, was a dutiful pa
rent, and very highly esteemed in the
community in which she lived. She res
sided over quarter of century in this
place, but moved to Angus, Iowa, nearly
two years ago. Shc leaves husband and
six children to mourn her loss The pro-
cession was one of the largest that has
been here for some time. Several per-
sons from other places were present.

Her Atonement.

This evening at Harper's theatre, the
great military drama, "Her Atonement"
will be given by an especially strong COM
pany with all of the concomitants neces-
sary to present the play in the best possi>
BILE manner. The company of soldiers
and military band give the play an APP
pearance of reality which greatly height
ems the pleasing effect and recalls wildly
the the troublous times of 80 and again
the glad return of the SCARED veterans in
IS. The plot is of most interesting
character and holds the attention of the
audience closely from beginning to end.
No entertainment has been given here
this winter that came here with the rep
utation that precedes Her Atonement,"
and now that good play is to be given,
oul people should show their apprecia>
ton and desire to support Mr.. Harper in
his efforts to give our people good plays,
in fine theater 1t just depends on the
people to have first class companies here.
If they want them they only have to sig
rify 1t by their attendance when one does
come. They can get no better opportu>
nifty than this, for the play is spoken very
highly of wherever it has appeared. The
New York Nc,cs said of ii: The presen-
tatlon of Mr.. Arson Ponds military and
emotional play, Her AtOnement, created
an amount of enthusiasm seldom seen in
theatre. The sad story of the drama
brought tears, while the comedy portions
caused unlimited laughter"

Township Collectors.

The township collectors are very slow
in making their retnrns to the county
treasurer this year. This is due, perhaps,
to the almost impossibiity of getting in
from any distance on account of the ex~
ceeding roughness of the roads. Then,
too, the collections are little slow and
collectors wish to gain all of the time
possible that the amount turned in shall
be large and the commission for collection
correspondingly increased. Yesterday
three books were t2rned in which were
all behind from one to five days, and
there were still three mere, collectors
whose returns were over due.
William II. Ashdown, collector for Coe
township, made returns as follows; Total
levy, $6,664. 81; delinquent, $947. "a; col>
lections, $5,717 OF; commissions, $114.~
"a; balance due to the different funds,
S5,802.7S.
The books of Clifton Stanley, collector
for Edgington township, show that the
total leAy was $9,46S.43; delinquent;
S75O.40; collections, s,71s0S; commits
sion, $154.36; balance due to the differ
emit funds, $s,543.e7.
In Canoe Creek township William r.
Golden was the collector, and his books
show: Total levy. $9,O49.SS delinquent,
STA. IS; collections, S2,354. IS; commits
sion. S46. 6s; balance due to the different
funds, $2,2ss.

Hung on Behind.

This morning a man came down from
toward Moline, on the street cars. and got
of at Tenth street without waiting for
the car to stop. As he stepped down his
coat tails caught in some way and he waa
pulled along at lively gait and in de-
cldedly embarrassing and Involvement
position. He had good lungs and bawled
out to the driver SO that he could be
heard about two blocks, telling him TO
stop. When at last the car was stopped,
the man freed himself and began upbraid-
ing the driver, and even threatened to
thrash him, in language not fit to print.
The driver took it coolly and explained
that it was not his fault, as the bell had
not been rung for stop. The victim of
the accident felt thoroughly angry and
humliated.
