Dad in New MeYico,

On the 10th day of last November Mr..
viii G. Chandler, one of Rock Islands
popular young men, left for New Mexico
in the hope of benefiting his health The
disease that was gradually undermining
his health was consumption, and before
leaving here he had been confined to the
house for some time, and in consequence
Of being out of work, he was in need OF
pecuniary assistance to make his proposed
trip. His numerous friends kindly do.
mated him a purse of over 800, and lac
started on his journey. In due time he
arrived at Fort Cummings, New Mexico
where he joined Messrs. Alvin Dart and
Joseph Kline, who are living in rustic
fashion in a tent The balmy air of the
south and the dry atmosphere, could not
stop the ravages of disease, however. and
this morning at 8 o'clock Mr.. John Swiler
received dispatch from Mr. Alvin Dart
saying "Will died this morning, the 4th,
at eight O'Clock" The dispatch was dated
from Deming, the nearest telegraph sta
ton, which is thirty miles from Fort
Cummings.
The deceased was about 81 years of
age. and was the only living son of Mrs.
Mary Chandler, residing on Seventeenth
street. She was overcome with grief
when the distressing news was broken to
her this morning. A few years ago an
other son died of consumption. Viii
Chandler was general favorite with
those that knew him, as he was young
man of integrity and possessed of "A genial
disposition. For nine years he clerked
for Dart & Gregg, in the grocery busi>
ness, and later was employed by Buford
& Co. 1t is expected that he will be buried
in New Mexico as it would take about
five days to bring his remains here.

A General Secretary.

The Y. NJ. c. A.. held an interesting
meeting at its rooms Tuesday evening.
The association decided to engage a gen
cral secretary, and until one arrives Mr..
E. E. Brown will act in that capacity.
The doors will be kept open day and
evening hereafter and young men
will be welcome at all hours. Vice Pres
ident A. NJ. Bruner having left the city,
it was necessary to elect new person for
that position. Mr.. &, Z. Adams, of Carsc
& Co., was selected. He takes great in
terest IN the good work, and will make a
first class officer
1t is the intention to enlarge the rooms
or find more suitable ones to be used for
gymnasium. A social entertainment
will be given soon, notice of which will
be given at the proper time

Didn't Get There.

A party of about dozen yourg gen
tlemen started for Port Byron last even
ing to attend the skating rink at that
place 1t seems that Port Byron is more
worldly than Rock Island. Here they
close the rlnks on Wednesday evening to
allow the good and faithful to attend
prayer meeting. but it seems that the rink
is run wide open" at Port Byron every
evening, excepting, we suppose, Sunday.
But the boys never reached Port Byron
last night. Oh, no. A shori distance
from Moline they found the soads impas'
sible for wheeling, and not being able to
borrow bob sled at any farm house they
had to return. Whether the honest far
mers thought they were suspicious
characters, we know not, they
could get no sleigh. When they
found they could get nowhere else
they stopped at Moline and attended the
rink there. Meanwhile the Port Byron
young ladies were waiting for the Rock
Island gents, and it is needless to say that
they went home disguised when they
learned that the visitors were not coming
After this the young ladies of that town
will place less reliance than ever on Rock
Island youths. The boys will be at the
rink tonight, and you can tell them by
their sheepish look.

News Clnders Found on the Track

Business is so rushing at the c., NJ. &
st. P, depot that Cashier John Holmes
will engage an assistant next month to
aid him IN his arduous duties. If it wa.
not little premature, we would extend
congratulations now.
Conductor Stanton, of the c., 3. & O.,
was astride of u fiery steed, coming up
Tenth street yesterday morning. The
animal looked like an English RAGE horse,
but Stanton looked anything but like a
jockey.
Roaring Roe" is the somewhat loud
name applied to one of the young engi.
necrs or the c., NJ & St. P road. He
is brother to Conductor Billy Roe, and
when he starts his iron horse in motion
it goes like streak of light. Roaring
Roe" is always on time.
AS the spring of the year approaches,
and freshcts will soon be the order of the
day. railroading is made more hazardous
than at any other period. Bridges and
culverts that have stood the wear and
tear for years are liable to give way, and
washouts along the track will be of cons
mon occurrence. The boys who follow
the rail for a living are surely deserving
of what they earn.

A MlShar.


Bill Fly and the humpbacked gutter
crossings have had another wrestling
match, and as usual the former was
wOrsted. Ever since the introduction of
these crossings, Bills hitherto happy lie
has been turned into an ocean of Woe
They are as a mote in his eye His days
are full of forebodings, and instead of
peaceful slumber at night blood curdling
nightmares rack his soul, and in the hor-
rible contortions of his mind he can hear
the humpbacked crossings ringing his
doom.
One evening this week just as darkness
was settling over the city, and the light
on the electric towers had commenced to
flicker in their sockets, the tall and classic
figure of Bill Hy was coming down the
street with that majestic tread, so pecu
liarly his own. He was in better spirits
than usual just then. The boys at the
county Offices had jOtted few extra lines
on the records that day, and Bill Fly
had copied them, and as he thought how
joyfullY the public would seize these
| fruits of his toll in the morning and de.
your them with eager gaze happy
smile fitted athWart his cOuntenance.
"And then there's the pOstoflice, you
know. | haven't been there yet" quoth
Bill. Someone will surely leave his key
in his box, and then will discover it, for
| have an eye like an eagle" and he
skipped along like school boy as he
thought how he would surprise his read
ers in the morning.
But often danger turks in gladness, and
it was so with Bill lily. He was nearing
hump backed crossing; but his ecstacy
of joy did not make him forget this fact,
and as he had registered a solemn vow
never to pass over one of them, he
shifted to one side. OH fatal mo-
ment. Ghost of our ancestors, look
A slight covering of ice over deep pool
of water was not sufficient to sustain his
weight and Bill Hy went down, down,
until he struck the bottom. With great
presence of mind he grasped the iron
crossing and after considerable muscular
exertion he again reached terra firma
Course the luck, quoth Bill, those
blarsted, bloody crossings will be the
death of me yet, and hailing a dray
which was on its way down town, Bill
returned home, aud no more did he ven>
ture forth that night. After sending the
court house records to the office, he
wrapped himself up in red flannel, stuck
his feet in pail-we mean tub-of hot
water, and took an old fashioned sweat.
The Union appeared as usual in the morn
ing but its readers noticed a lack of that
versatile wit, rollicking sarcasm, and
above ALL the usual thrilling postoffice
episode which has given it wide spread
distinction.
