An Idyl of the Street.

Girl on a ladder
hopping off winder +;
Long comes man,
With no one nigh to hinder
Climbs up the ladder.
Puts his arm around her,
Smacks her OH the mouth

Naughty man:
The girl turns around,
With a sudden stop.
Reaches for the man
To use him for a mop;
Gets Il good strong hold,
No II nigh to hinder,
Goes right ahead
hopping off the windcr-
With the man!

An "IMITATIOUS" CREATURE.
Some of the Peculiar Freaks Of a Very
5SJudgmatic" Alabama Mule.

Some of the Peculiar Freaks Of a Very
"Judgmatic" Alabama Eule.
Mr.. Luke Prior of Alabama. is noted
for his great natural sense and orig
nal English. II see,' said he to
group of fellow members. THAT Sen'
to: Hampton has been telling about
COW he owns that can black boots AND
initiate a Methodist exhorter
Now l have Il mule on my farm neal
Opelika which is certainly a judsmatie
creature. He is an emery looking cuss.
but, as l said, very judgmatic. must
say he is the most imitutious animal
ever saw. He is ever O limitations
than the monkey.
That mules favorite amusement is
to go in swimming with the boys, and
would you believe it 3 he can
swim on his back and dive head fore
most like a fish. Yes, sir he has dived
at least thirty feet and come up with
his head all over mud. This mule is
so limitations that he can almost imi
tate any wind instrument.
There's a ferryman near my place
who asshot at him several times. The
fsrryman has a horn on the opposite
side OF the river for passengers to blow
as a signal when they want to come
over The mule got onto this racket
whenever he gets a chance lie goes
down to the ferry aud brays just like
a horn allowing.
On foggy days the ferrymen cant see
across the river, and he don't know
whether it's the mule Il a traveller. He
told NE the other day that last year he
he had pulled his boat ove: sixty times
to answer that id long cared mule,'
as he put it.
On my farm l had a large bell, with
rope attached. t." ring up the hands at
daybreak. An old culored man used
to attend to this duty, but one night
about two years ago, he suddenly died.
Next morning everybody was astonished
to hear the bell ring at the usual hour.
I went out to see what was ringing
it, and gentlemen, l hope l may never
get back to Alabama if it wasn't that
mule Yes, sir +; and that mule has been
ringing that bell ever since at daybreak
every morning. Not only this, but he
canters down between the negro cabins,
Just as the old man used to do, to see
that everybody gets out on time. The
old man had a way of kicking OF the
door Of q band who did not move out
brisk, and one morning the mule fol
example. In a certain cabin
there was a very lazy colored family
never stirred until everybody else
was at work. just at daybreak the mule
backed up to the front door and gave a
kick with both etthat sent the whole
through the back window.
The mule didn't know it, however,
and he kept on kicking. The next day
it took four carpenters to put that cab
10 together.
Gentlemen, as l remarked before,
that mules the most judgMatic and uni
animal l aver saw."-Washing

should not forget the grand concert to be
given in Harper's theatre next Thursday
evening for the benefit of Fairyiew acad-
envy. Nine. Ahlander>Bergstrom is de-
lightful singer and those who have had
the pleasure of hearing her say she fairly
rivals Jennie Lind and Christine Nilsson
in their palmiest days Prof. G. Stolpe,
the celebrated pianist and violnist, is too
well known to the citizens of the twin
cities to require an introduction here.
Besides these two great musical artists,
several others of merit will appear and
one of the richest musical treats of the
season may be looked for.

DEATH ON TUG ROAT.

ELIZABETH, Pa. Jan. 12.-By the ex-
plosion of her boiler the steamtug Mike
Dougherty was completely demolished
near here at 10 o'clock Sunday. Two of
the crew were killed and others were bad>
ly hurt. The boat had put ashore near
Bellevue landing TO make repairs to some
part of the machinery that had broken
down, and the explosion occurred while
she lay there. The killed and injured are
Killed. William Mailer, stewart, Ale
ghany. William Matthews, deck hand
Allegheny. Injured. -Gardern jackson,
captain, Allegheny; badly scalded, Hugh
T. Porter, engineer, Allegheny; cheek
laid open, Thomas McQuain, deck hand,
Pittsburg; leg hurt slightly.
The remaining member of the crew was
II. Brown, fireman. He is uniniured.
The force of the explosion must have
been terrific. The hull of the tug lies in
shallow water near the shore, half ex>
posed and one side blown out. The en-
tire upper works are blown off. Frag
ments of the machinery and fixtures Law
scattered all around ON the ground, and
many pieces were blown far into the riv.
er. The boiler which burst lies fifty
yards up along the shore. The other but
little injured. was blown fan up the bank,
whence it rolled back into the river. The
bodies of the dead men have not yet beer
recovered. The tug was valued at about
$15, 600.

A Narrow ESCAPE

A Davenport youth came near being
drowned under the Sylvan water bridge
yesterday afternoon. He was skating
upon the ice which in some places was
covered by water, Surprising place
beneath the bridge was merely covered by
water, he made rush to pass through it
and skated into an air hole. He was go
ing so fast that he came near striking the
opposite side of the air hole before he
sank. When he came to the surface he
made few vigorous strokes and reached
the edge of the ice on the opposite side of
the air hole. Fortunately the ice was
thick enough to bear his weight and he
got out safely, though drenched to the
skin. 1t was q very narrow escape, for
had there been much Of a current where
the fellow went INTO the river, he would
doubtless have passed under the ice to a
watery grave. As it was he was greatly
chilled. His name is Standard and he is
employed in the American Express office
in Davenport.

Moline has been agitated lately over
matrimonial mystery which was finally
cleared up on Saturday by the confession
of one of the parties to it. Ayoung man
named Nell Moninger, whose parents live
in Moline, recently died very suddenly in
DeSoto, No, and his friends were not
appraised of the fact until after the funer>
al and then they were astonished TO re-
ceive the intelligence that their son had
left wife to whom he had been married
nine or ten months. The young mans
father went to Missouri to investigate and
sent brief and indefinite telegram home
after arriving at De Soto, This alarmed
Mrs. Moninger and she fearing that
something was wrong-that probably her
son had been murdered-went to Nilsson
ri to learn the cause of Melrs death for
herself and to bring the body home. On
the way to the south she passed her hus,
band who was on his return trip home
with his new daughter>in-law Arriving
at De Soto she found that the young man
had died from natural causes. He was
cigar maker by trade and member of
the Cigar Makers Union, which allowed
$40 for the removal of the remains to
Moline for burial if his relatives SO dc.
sired. His mother accordingly had the
body disintered and brought to Moline
where she arrived with it on Saturday
Mrs. Moninger was not willing 10 accept
the word of the young woman, who said
she was Mells' wife. She telegrsphed to
Morris, H., where the girl said the cere-
mony had taken place. and found thather
statement was false. Confronted with
this evidence the girl broke down and
acknowledged that she had never been
legally married to Nell, but had lived
with him as his wife She said that her
name was Alice Lyon, and that she lived.
when at home, at Ottawa, H. She had
met Nell, and he persuaded her to live
with him as his wife, promising to have
the ceremony performed soon. She had
letters to show that he had addressed her
as his wife What first aroused the sus>
picion of the mother of the deceased, was
the fact that he had been at home within
the past nine months and had not men
toned the fact of having been married,
His sudden death and the startling an
nouncement that he had left a wife, de-
termined his mother to make a thorough
Investigation. which resulted in the above
revelation The girl was told to leave the
MOninqer house al once. II would seem
that this is pretty hard treatment from
the fact that she is described as being a
very lady like young woman. and her
ruin was brought about by solemn
promise of marriage, which young Mon
niger would doubtless have carried ont

which took place at ? p. m. yesterday,

Municipal Matters

AT , O'Clock this afternoon was the
time set for the city council, and the spe-
eial committee on the Twentyseventh
street sewer to meet at the sewer and sec
if an outlet could be found. This is the
sewer that has given rise 10 so much ami
mated discussion in the city council 4
special committee was appointed to in
yestigate the sewer, and see if the Rock
Island Lumber Il Manufacturing com
pany was responsible for the closing ur
of the outlet Of the sewer. The report Of
this committee was unsatisfactory to sev
eral members Of the council, 50 it was
determined that the whole council should
visit the sewer in body, and see what
thcy could see.

Skaters

The river now presents an animated
appearance. Yesterday myraids of skat~
ers were gliding over its CLASSY surface,
and they seemed to enjoy the healthy ex>
crcise. Saturday, when there was good
breeze, the skaters would use their coats
for sails, and starting from the other side
would cross to this side without any ex-
ertion on their part. A well beaten track
was made in this way. While roller skating
furnishes much enjoyment, genuine fun is
found on the bosom of the river, where
the artist has plenty of scope to get in
his fancy movements without Interrupt
ton.
One of our good looking passenger
agents, having few leisure hours on
Saturday, buckled on a fine pair of club
skates, and went up the river as far as LIE
Claire and back again. Among the sights
on his way up were two fellows holding a
sail and going at the rate of forty miles
an hour. This sounds so much like fish
story that we will not give the skaters
name. for fear his veracity would be ques-
toned in the future.
