Fred Ehleb, the young man referred to
in yesterdays ARGUS. as having seen a
strange acting woman resembling Mrs.
Lowe-whose mysterious disappearance
created considerable excitement some
time since-called at the ARGUS office to,
day TO make the following as his state
ment of what he saw Thursday morning:
When went out to the barn Thursday
morning, in opening the door, | saw a
lady coming down towards me, and |
thought to myself that is Mrs. Lowe. and
as she came nearer to me found it to be
true; and when she looked into the barn
at Mrs. Nissensen's place / was sure oft.
I have known the woman for at least
eight years. She was dressed in black and
wore brown vail, which, on coming into
the alley, she raised, and when she left
the place she let it down over her fea>
lures again.
Where she went from there, the young
man is unable to state, for he soon lost
track of her,

Gamble Fails.

In the fifth and final race at Detroit
last night, Skinner, the Boston expert,
came in first, Gamble, of Davenport, Sec
ond, Ehlert third, McReynolds fourth,
Rick fifth. SINNERS time was 17:42.
Gamble fell once which lost him the race.
This race gives Skinner first money, $500,
and the diamond medal; Gamble second
money, 800; McReynolds, of Cleveland,
third money, $40; Ehlert, of Chicago,
fourth money, $50; fifth money, to be
skated for between Gale and Lockwood,
S25. The contest, it is said, has given
much dissatisfaction to spectators, as they
thought that Gamble should have had the
race Wednesday evening, which would
have given him the first place. The rink
management run the judges stand and it
would have been greatly against their in
terests to give it to Gamble in the first
three races as it would have closed the
tournament. GamHeaand Bromley skate

The Union is slightly mistaken in say

Ohlweilen stated at last Monday nights
meeting that had the prayer of the mer>

clothing W. H. bunker with police au-
thority, it was his intention to follow it
with motion that this special policeman
be allowed $40 a month by the city in
consideration of any special sertice the
special officer might render. If we re.
member rightly, the tenor of MIR. OIL
weiler's remarks were that he was sur
prised that the mayor should oppose the
request of the merchants, as he (Ohl'

that $40 extra be allowed Mr.. bunker
from the treasury, being so favorably

A Body Pound

Word was telephoned to Davenport
this morning from Montpelier, Iowa, a
town about twenty miles below Daven-
port, on the southwestern division of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific road, that
floater had been fonnd there, which al
though in decomposed state, resembled
very much the description of either Par
ker or Rogers, the young men who met
with such sad fate in the Mississippi
river, four weeks ago. A party immedi-
ately started from Davenport to Mont'
pelier. to identify the body If it was OF
either of the unfortunate young men, bu,
at the hour of going to press, the party
had not returned.

There should be some changes made

the amount of the pressure that is calc ue

times the calculated working pressure on

this country they test with once and half
of the working pressure. have noticed
that boilers give way Immediately after
being tested, and under much less pres

with, which shows that there construction
was strained TO some degree when the
test was applied, but not enough to indi>

temporary strain which iron or steel
boilers will sustain in a much greater
amount than they will constant strain,

to carry 100 pounds working pressure,

The special meeting called by Mayor
Murdoch for last night was fully attend
ed. all the members being in their chairs.
except Alderman Collins. The mayor
stated the object Of the meet ing to be the
consideration of the bridge spanning the
north branch Of Rock river at Milan,
which had been visited by himself and
the bridge committee, and found to be in
very unsafe condition-much worse
than expected. and that immediate action
was necessary. After considerable
discussion. the council accepted
the proposition of Mr.. Keeper.
for the Clinton Bridge Company,
who agreed to put up q substantial and
durable combination bridge for SIS, 500.
The proposed structsre will be entirely of
iron excepting the end posts and top
chords. 1t will be what is called the
Pratt Truss combination standard bridge,
one of the very best built The iron floor
beams will add much to its solidity and
strength. Mr.. C. L. Gates, the compa>
ny's engineer, will come here the first of
the week to take the actual measurements.
The gentleman was with the c., NJ. s. St.
P. road for thirteen years as as assistant
chief engineer. The bridge company will
commence operations on the Goth inst i,
and at that time will assume all respon~
sibility for the safety of the present struc-
ture, and during the erection of the new
bridge will not interfere with travel in the
least, With the exception of the person
in charge of the work. the company will
employ Rock Island labor, the aldermen
having made that provision before sign.
ing the contract The new bridge will
be completed about the first of July
While the ARGUS is always in fav or of
improvement, no matter in what form, il
feels hesitancy in sanctioning the hasty
action of the council last night. We sa y
hasty because the aldermen had INSULT
Gent time to consider the expediency of
voting for new bridge. Alderman
Schroeder's idea was very good one. He
thought the council should visit the
bridge as committee of the whole, SO
that every member might be fully salts
fed that he was not frittering away the
peoples money. $500 is no small
amount, and although we think it is q
reasonable sum for such bridge as is
proposed to be constructed, it would
not have been out of place to adver-
tise for bids, as proposed by Alderman
Henry. OF course this objection is met
by stating the urgency of the case neces-
STATED immediate action. This is very
true. but the general incorporation laws
forbid the council to contract liabilitie:
until the annual appropriations are made
which has not been done by this council
The amount voted should have beer
passed by ordinance. with an emergency
clause, however. But as the council havt
evidently made an advantageous contract
the people should be satisfied, and over
look this slight irregularity.

THE GRAND JURY REPORT.


AT II o'clock this morning the grand
jury came into the circuit court chamber
and filed the following list of indict.
ments. as returnable on the strength of
cases submitted to their consideration:
People VS. Peter j. Stein; burglary of
John WestphaPs saloon.
People VS. Frank w Fleming; burglary
of jewelry of Mary Buncher.
People VS. Patrick McDermott; murder
of Daniel V. Dougherty.
People VS. Conrad Ward; larceny of G.
L. & S. N. WINES shoes.
People VS. George Wadsworth; selling
liquor without license.
People VS. George Wadsworth; selling
liquor without license in less quantity
than one gallon.
People VS. George Wadsworth; selling
liquor to a minor without permit.
People VS. George Wadsworth; selling
liquor to be drank on adjacent premises.
People VS. Michael Larkin; larceny of a
suit of clothes from Jonas Bears clothing
store.
To members of the bar, and others in
crested in the proceedings of the present
term of court, the small list of indictments
returned is something of surprise, from
the fact that the grand jury has been
since 2 o'clock Monday afternoon on the
cases, but this is accounted for by reason
of the unusually large number of witness
es to examine. The mem bers of the
grand jury were virtually discharged at
noon today, though they are to hold
themselves in readiness for summons
from the judge at any time between now
and the conclusion of the present term OF
court.

dictments mentioned, the grand jury fur
