Joseph Buckhart was fined $50 and costs
on Tuesday for selling liquor to minor.
The same officer filed information against
E. Nicholsonfort the same offense, who
gave bonds to appear for trial this after
noon. These suits originated in the trial
of Michael Tally some time ago for picks

and the evidence against the saloon keep
ers came out of witnesses then examined.

Owing to the secretary of the Board OF
Education writing to an architect that
plans for the east Moline school house
would not be submitted to committee of
experts as is the rule of the architects
association, it is probable no plans will
be submitted to the board from men IN
the association. The building is going
up nevertheless, and the price that would
have been paid the designer will be ex.
pended on the building extra. Good
idea.

TILL TAPPERS.
Murrin's Saloon Successfully Rafded-
The Burglars Captured-The
Booty.

Some time between one o'clock this
morning and day break, Ed Murrin's sa-
loon, at the corner of Twenty-first street
and Fourth avenue, was burglarized. The
marauders entered through rear door,
which they forced open. and proceeding
into the har room first helped themselves
to sufficient allowance of whisky, to
strengthen their nerves no doubt for the
next act which was the tapping of the
till, from which they took about $50, and
departed. 1t was not until $50 this
morning that Mr. Murrin knew that he
had been the victim OF bold burglary.
At that time he entered his place OF bust
ness, and finding the condition of affairs,
Immediately acquainted the police with
the facts.
Deputy Marshal Hull and Officers HarN
ris and Brennan were detailed by Mar
shall Eckhart TO look into the case, the
marshal having his suspicious as to the
perpetrators of the deed, and these Off
GERS had William Wilson and William
Howard safely lodged in the city prison
by Z o'clock. A search of the prisoners
revealed $40 60 upon the person of Will
son, which confirmed the belief that he
at least, had a hand in the burglary.
There was nothing about Howard to as
sociate him with the crime, aside from
the fact that he was with Wilson and had
been drinking. Both were yesterday dis
charged from the county Jail, where each
had served STANDARDIZATION on the
strength of a bond to keep the peace,
and Howard for larceny.
Wilson was taken before Justice Halves
aud held IN the sum of $500, and com
mitted to jail Later, however. his bond
was increased. Towards case will be
investigated.
Among other things found upon the
prisoners was an old gold mufficr with
the letter OK worked in red in the cor>
ner. The marshal thinks this has been
stolen, and seeks information relative t.
the owner. If any one has los such an
article, they may see it by inouirig at The

Rock Island Has Won.

The Moline Dispatch, which up to this
time has been loud in its advocacy of the
Watertown route as the only proper one
to be pursued by the Hennepin canal,
and has held until now that it would
be the only one pursued, has sud-
denly changed the tone of its remarks,
and now comedies the fact that the
terminus will be at the mouth of Rock
river, as it should be- See what it says:
The Rock Island ARGUS has received
from Sheriff Reticker, who is in Wash
ington, copies of the Hennepin canal
bills now before congress. According to
these reports the Henderson bill does not
make provision as to the terminus, while
the measure introduced by Mr. Murphy
provides distinctively for IAN act making
appropriations for the construction re
pair and preservation of certain works
on rivers and harbors, and for other pur-
poses, known as the Rock Island or Rock
river route in said survey" Therefore the
ARGUS is for Jerry's bill, and says that it is
doubtless the measure that Rock Islands
delegates ale looking after. But the
ARGUS need not be concerned. for Rock
Island has already won the day, so far as
the question of terminus is concerned. II
might be explained that the Henderson
bill sent In by Sheriff Reticker is doubt,
less the just and equitable document pre-
pared by Mr.. Henderson, as it was before
it went through the ordeal of passing
through subcommittee of which Jerry
Murphy was a member. But we have
seen letter from Gen. Henderson which
says that the committee 80 altered his bill
as to adopt the Rock Island route and tt
fix the initial appropriation at 81 900. 900
We don't believe that at heat the citi
zens of Moline, we're opposed to the Rocl
Island route from the first. and only 0p'
posed it for the argument. Certainl.
they would not have the terminus away
up on the marshes where it would be oil
comparatively no benefit to this entir,
section, and which would depreciate the
canal as feeder to the northwest.

Died at Hinesburgh, Vt, Friday morn
ing, April 2, 1856, Mrs. Alice Degree, wife
of Simon Degree, aged % years and 10
months For nearly two years Mrs. De
gree has been almost "A costant sufferer.
In fact, only few of the years of her
young life can be said to have been really
enjoyable. Yet in these years of trial there
has been much of JOY and gladness and a
genuine spirit of resignation. Her disease
would yield at times and gave rise to her
friends bright hopes of her recovery, and
thus have the months passed away sun
shine and shadow following each other in
quick succession. During the early part
of the winter and even until three weeks
ago, Mrs. Degree WAS able to be out and
visit among her friends but since then
she sank rapidly until Friday morning,
when she quietly passed away.
