Steamboat Inspecting.

George Hayes, of 0sceola, Mimi, has
been appointed general steamboat in
spector by President Cleveland. There
were over dozen applicants for
the place, the jurisdiction of the
district extending from Keokuk to
st. Paul on the Mississippi. and from
Yankton to Fort Benton on the Missouri
Of the new appointment Mississippi
Valley exchange says;
The failures of Pilots VIM. Tibbals, of
Dubuque, and Thomas Burns, of Galena,
to be appointed by President Cleveland
general steamboat inspector for the dis
trict was a surprise to their friends. Mr..
Tibbals was backed by Ham and Carver,
and Wm. Burns had strong backing all
over the district George Hayes, the sue
cessful aspirant, may be remembered by
old inhabitants of the levee as the mate
of the Pioneer, of which his brother
Dave, of Saltwater, MINI, was the own
er. The pioneer used to tow RATS for the
Dubuque Lumber company and others.
When she was wrecked at Saltwater
George Hayes became solicitor for the
excursion steamer G. B. Knapp, which
ran from Saltwater to Taylor's Falls, and
is now, we believe, in the employ
of the government Mr.. Hayes
married Mr.. Knapp's daughter. he lives
at Osceola, MINI, where he manages a
quarry in the winter. What influence he
brought TO bear to secure the appoint
ment his acquaintance here cannot inn
agine.

A Murderer Confesses.


A man named Young, who was sen
fenced last week at Mount Carroll, by
Judge Eustace, to spend ten years at the
Joliet penitentiary for burglary, is said to
have confessed to the prison warden that
he was the man who murdered Hiram P.
Allen, of Sandwich, February, 1880. If
that be true it will doubtless result in the
release from prison of VIM. Thomas, of
Sandwich, who was convicted about four
years ago and sent to Joliet for
term OF seventeen years charged
with having been Mr.. Aliens murder
er. Thomas was one of. Mr.. Aliens hest
friends and he protested bis innocence
from thes first, but circumstantial evil
dence was too much for him in the opin~
ion of the jury which heard his case.
Mr. Allen was shot and killed almost in
stantly. Young was after money, but got
nothing. The latter has served three
years in Wisconsin penitentiary, and
has another indictment standing against
him if he ever gets out again. The story
was related to a representative of the
Bulletin by r. B. Rood, of Joliet, who
was relative of the murdered man.
When Young was put behind the prison
| bars at Joliet he thought, no doubt, that
he might never be free man again, and
confessed

The Broadway Church.


The Broadway church contained large
audience yesterday, on the occasion of the
tenth anniversary of the establishment of
the church. The edifice was beautifully
decorated, on Que side wall being the
following inscription in evergreen:
Hitherto Hath the Lord Helped U.s."
while on the other was. He Thanked
God and took Courage
The pastor, Rev. W. 5. Marquis, took
for his morning theme, the 12th verse of
the eth chapter of 1st Samuel:
Then Samuel took a stone. and set it up be
tween Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of
Ebenezer saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped
us.
The pastor dwelt at length on the chos-
en- words, and to more forcibly illustrate
the text he had prepared a large stone
bearing on one side the word "Ebenzer,
and on the other the motto, Hitherto
hath the Lord helped US, which lay on
a table in front of the pulpit. The rev>
erend gentleman drew the comparison
between the words of the text and the
occasion of the days festivities, and al
ludcd beautifully to the church's growth
and prosperity under the loving work OF
the congregation.
In the evening, the papers given in
Saturdays ARGUS were read, and com>
munications from former pastors and
other friends at distance were read. The
singing was a marked feature of the day

CLAREsBURG, October 24.-The article
in the State Journal, copied into the Intel
hgencer, with the heading "Ciarksburg
Clerk indicted for opening a young lady 8
letters before he was warm in his seat,
does the present postmaster and assistant
of this city, who have been in Office under
the Cleveland administration since July
last, considerable injustice. Nor is it any
more unwarrsnted than the subsequent
assertion: Democratic reform has bro
ken out in q new place, and has resulted
in brand new stamp ticker getting into
hot water. The facts are about these:
C. F. Ohley was assistant in the post Office
under Mr.. W. F. Richards, who was at the
same time, or at least most of it, as many
know, editor of the Telegram, q repubG-
can newspaper of this city. Mr. 0hley
is now of Palatine, aud although repub-
hcsn, assistant under his father at Psls-
tine, who is postmaster. Recently the
grand Jury Of the United States Court re-
turned an indictment against Mr.. 0hley,
upon the charge of opening letter sd
dressed by one Thomas Kane to Miss Mel
lie johnson while he was assistant under
Mr.. Richards, now xpostmaster. Mr..
Obey appeared before the court one day
this week and made the explanation that
the letter had By mistake been given to
one Miss Nettie Johnston instead of Miss
Nellie Johnston; that it had been returned
through the drop letter box in bad condi-
ton; that be enclosed it in another envel-
ope, he addressing it, which was after
wards properly delivered to Miss Nellie
Johnston. Consequently the court dis
missed the case. We are glad that Mr..
0hley was exonersted, and are sorry that
any reporter would By innuendo or insinu-
uation undertake to reflect upon the pres
ent democratic postmaster and bis assist
ant, when, if anything in fact took place,
it occurred under the republican manage
ment of the post Office at this city.

spected BY all. His funeral was largely

Brosddus College was discovered to be
on FIRE last Sunday night, however it was

there mus, be an snAcsihg clause added 70
the city charter before such can Do done.
However it may be, nobody can deny
this: the charter either gives Council all
necessary powers in such 3 case, or IL does
not. Fit does they certainly ought to be
enforced; If 1t does not It ought to have
been seen in the beginning that an inves-
tigaion without the necessary provisions
for carrying it on would prove q farce.
Another thing also is evident; if Council
have not this power, there is 3 very weak
point in our cify's charter, and it should
be amended ct the earliest opportunity.
The people of Wheeling are completely
disguised at the farciesl experience just
ended and they want no more OF it.
