Denies the Allegation.

Mr.. D. j. Lafferty, of Milan, called at
the ARGUS Office this afternoon, in order
to deny the statement made in yesterdays
daily that he had been found in company
with Mrs. Henry Fisher, by her husband,
and that he had thereupon fled and re-
NAMED in hiding over Sunday. Mr.. Laf-
ferty says he is not guilty of clandestlnes
iy meeting Mrs. Fisher, and hardly knows
the woman. He says he can give an
account of his whereabouts on Saturday
evening, which will completely exonerate
him from suspicion. He says Fisher is
an excitable man, and some wags had
been putting idle stories into his head
Lafferty is constable and he claims his
calling makes his movements sometimes
look suspicious. According to Lafferty S
statement he first met Fisher and subses
quently his wife came along, but no
difficulty occurred between them,

MADE AN ASSIGNMENT.
Alvin Hull, Dealer in Fancy Notions,
Fails.

Alvin Hull, wholesale dealer in notions,
cigars and fancy goods, at 219 and 221
Eighteenth street, has confessed judg-
ment to the amount of about S14, 600 and
made an assignment to William Jackson,
Esq, for the benefit of his creditors. The
creditors are W. C. Wadsworth & Co.,
1928; August Steffen, STAG; E. P. Rey>
nolds, 81, 752; Rock Island National Bank,
$3.50. The first two named firms are of
Davenport, the other creditors in Rock
Island.
The real estate is valued at about Sc, :
600, and is encountered to the full amount
of its value. Sheriff Reticker is in charge
of the stock, and as soon an invoice can be
taken, will sell it at auction, to satisfy
the judgment in his possession.
Mr.. Hull has been in business in Rock
Island since 1858, and has apparently ems
joyed prosperous business. His diff
culties will be generally regretted, and il
is hoped he may still arrange matters tC
continue his business as heretofore.

WEARY OF LIFE.
A Noted HOrseman Attempts Suicide,
but is Prevented.

At II o'clock last night the Waterman
on the ferry, Spencer, discovered a man
on the outer edge of the dock. who APP
peared to be in the act of leaping into the
water. Hurrying to the strange acting
persons side, the Waterman found that
he had neither hat, coat or shoes on, and
that he had disrobed so with the in
tention of committing suicide. A police
man was telephoned for and the stranger
conducted to the armory, where he gave
his name as W. J. Gallagher, of Daven-
port, who is well known in this vicinity
as an expert horse trainer and driver.
Investigation revealed the fact that
Gallagher had been in an ill-mood for
some time, and on one or two occasions
before he had attempted to take his own
life in similar manner Early last ev,
ening his strange actions on the govern
ment bridge attracted the attention of
pedestrians, who accompanied him to this
city, where he said his home was. This
morning Officer Howard, of the Daven-
port force, came to this side and con-
Quoted Gallagher to that city, where be
will probably be tried before the insane
commissioners this afternoon, as it is
thought his mind is deranged.
Gallagher has lived in Davenport for a
number of years, following the trade of q
horse jockey, in which he was quite pro-
ficient. He at one time drove Miller's
trotter, Malvina, of this city. He has al
ways been well respected end trusted, and
his mental trouble is an affection.
