that the murder was committed in self defense,

Among the evidences of general revival of
business may be mentioned the following: In six
weeks ending Oct. 8 west-bound freight shipments
amounted to l43 900 TONS an increase of 20 per
cent in the volume of goods and other commodi-
ties marketed in that period over the amount
for the same time last year. This is matter of
railroad statistics. Second the inquiry for sup
plies for railroads, either old or to be construct
ed, has gone as far as a large number of tons of
stee! rails. The American Manufacturer reports
inquiries at Philadelphia for an amount vari-
ously estimated at from so. 900 to $50, 900 tons;
the New York Office of the same journal reports
positive orders placed with the Edgar Thomson
works for $4,000 tons, with the PENNSYLVANIA
Company for IL 000 the Bethlehem for 10, 900,
Lackawanna for 5000 all at about $50 per ton,
and reports Western mills also getting orders.
Every ton of steel rails laid means more wheels,
cars and machinery of every kind.

Meets with the Approval of Business Men.
On all sides disposition is shown to support
the policy of the leading railroad managers who
have now for many weeks been openly united in
seeking to re establish paying rates for every
class of their business. The low and fluctuating
rates which have been the feature of railroad
traficsfor so long have not benefited the gen
eral business of tie country nearly so much as
they have injured the vast capital invested in
ailroads; and merchants like the stockholders
and creditors of the railroads, are well satisfied
at the prospect of steady rates for freight, fixed
at figures which will maintain the railroads in
their proper physical condition and financial
credit In addition to this, the restoration of
rates has direct bearing upon the prosperity of
all the industries which live upon the legitimate
wants of the railroad OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SO nu-
merous and varied that their prosperity is mex
tricably bound up with the general movement Of
commercial life throughout the country.

The Twins.

There are two lads 10 Rock Island
called the Siamese twins They look
alike, act alike, and are generally togeth>
er. They are not nice, Sunday school
boys, either, but are full Of the old Nick,
or something else. The twins got in their
work last night at the residence of Henry
Schnitger, on Fourth avenue. There was
y surprise party at his residence, and the
guests came well supplied with dainties
with which to tickle the palates at the
proper time While the festivities were
going on in the parlors, the Siamese
twins sneaked in the back door and laid
hands on large cake, which they made
off with. They were discovered in the
act, but managed to make their escape.
If the twins do not mend their ways they
will come to GRIEF some day.

Pretty Minnie Palmer.

Tonight Americas favorite little act
ress Miss Minnie Palmer, will appear at
Harpers theatre in her great success,
My Sweetheart" She and her company
came through from Rockford yesterday.
They were booked for Ottawa last night,
but finding they could not make suitable
connections for here tonight, they cancel
ed their Ottawa date. Laboucher's
Truth, London, says of Miss Palmer:
The critics are at loss how to describe
this young lady. She is original, and that
is why the critics are scratching their
heads and biting their pens. She is, at
times, the Petite Fadette of George Sand,
and at others, Nan in Good for Nothing
she is everything by turns and nothing
long She is merely Miss Minnie Palmer,
who can sing, dance, chat, play pranks,
be prodigal in suggestiveness, beloved by
masherdom, and above all, appears to en-
Joy what she is doing. Herein lies the
power of this clever little lady She has
the gift of communicating her sense OF
fun to her audience. Metaphorically, she
takes them by the buttonhole, and tickles
them under the chin. She coaxes and
charms them and delights them by her
seeming delight in life and merriment-
She gives life to a dull audience, and con-
auers them by her assertive personality
Mr.. Hollingshead would do well to retain
her permanently at the Gaiety establish
ment.

The Row System.

The Rock Island & Mercer county
road have inaugurated d new system Of
communication along the line OF their
road. When a regular telegraph wire was
put up, Gray's automatic printers were
used. These were finally taken out and
six bell telephone instruments, made cs>
pccially for the company, were placed in
all the offices. Last Sunday Train
Dispatcher Looney went over the
road with a special train, and took
out the telephones at the various stations.
The road has now adopted the Morse
system of telcgraphy, and operators are
placed in each depot The company still
retains three telephones at Gable. The
telephone system gave poor satisfaction.
The boys at the Office in this city would
yell themselves hoarse, and on some oc>
casions their lungs would give out. nEr.
Looney is the superintendent of tcle,

Failed

Sheriff Reticker failed to secure the
necessary bail for William Welch at Port
Byron yesterday, although he taxed his
ingenuity to the utmost in order to sue
coed. About twenty residents of Port
Byron and vicinity had agreed to 90 on
his bond for appearance at the next term
of court, but some of them backed out
yesterday, and the others refused to sign,
unless the whole number did. Mr. WEIGH
felt sanguine that his friends would bail
him out, and he was much discouraged
this morning when he learned the truth.
II IS supposed, however, that his attorney,
Mr.. Hurst, will make further eudeavors
to secure his release

wheat is being shipped from Missouri and
Iowa to Peoria. Yesterday afternoon
there were 1870 loads standing on the side

report a good business.
