Lucinda Evans, the ex poor farm cook,
has married Thomas Goldman, the Grip
pie who was for some time engineer at
that institution "Cinda" fell in love
with Coltma1 when they were both in
the employ OF Steward Robertson, and
wanted to marry him, but the steward
seusbly objected, owing to CDltman's
terrible infrmitIos. He appears as if his
back had been broken at some time, and
his only way of getting about being on
"all fours." The stewards attempts to
break off the intended alliance between
these TWO has proved failure, and they
were in each others company at the poor
farm on numerous occasions despite his
efforts to prevent them. "Cinda,' while
there, gave birth to child, of which she
claimed Goldman was the father
and hop3d in that way to force
RObertsons permission to the mar
riage. When Lucinda Evans left the
poor farm she kept up correspondence
with Cotman, and ii was her letters that
Robertson withheld as charged by Super
visor Hsrwood in the county board, the
steward thinking that he was doing what
was for the best. 1t appears, though,
that she managed to communicate with
Coltman and he left the poor farm about
three weeks ago, and two weeks ago to-
night they were married In this city, up
on the strength Of license, which,
strange to say, had been issued from the
Office of the county clerk of Scott county.
in Davenport "Cinda" and her husband
are living in this city, and appear to be
as happy as CLANS, and though their
marriage is legal, the minister performs
ing the ceremony is liable.

The accomplished emotional actress,
Miss Lillian Lewis, repeated her perfor
nance of Cora, the Creole" at Harper's
theatre Saturday evening, before an in
telligent and appreclative audience.
Much TO the discredit OF the city the at
tendance was not large, and it is nothing
less than a shame that a really meritori>
Gus entertainment as Miss Lewis com
pany gives, is not more literally patron
lied. 1t was by far the best company
aud most admirable attraction that has
visited Rock Island in years. The
mounting of the piece-stage setting
etc, and the stage costumes have never
been uxcelled west of Chicago. II is the
failure of the public to properly recog
nize standard attractions such as this one,
that causes first class companies to shun
Rock Island.

punishment follow swiftly on the heels
of crime. 1t loses its force by long de>
lay. Let the criminal once. condemned
disappear from public notice. Let his
death be lonely unheralded one. The
criminal now dies the death of hero,
and his name is on every tongue. t9).
PRISON REFORM.
(a). Take the prison out OF politics.
(b). Make the length of criminals sem

no more reason for turning criminal
loose in society unreformed than there il
for sending an insane person from the
asylum uncured. (c). Let the criminal
pay for his board while in prison by his
labor Pay an honest price for that labor
and don't Cypress every poor laborine
man in this country by cheap convict
productions. (d). If there is any surplus
left after the prisoner has paid for his
board, let it so to the support of his fam
lily if he has one, or be saved to start hin
in an honest business when he is free

Car Boxes Robbed.

Some time after IL o'clock last night,
marauders broke into the car house ad
Joining the barns Of the Moline &c Rock
Island horse car line and cracked the
boxes of three cars-Nos, 3, and and
took what cash they could find and skip>
ped. The boxes had all been emptied as
usual l9te in the afternoon so that the
burglars could not have gotten more than
81 from each car for their trouble Only
one box was broken in each car and each
contained a number of tickets which were
not disturbed. Three tramps were seen
lettering about the barn yesterday after
noon, and Superintendent Gamble thinks
they perpetrated the burglary. From
the description, they spent the night be-
fore in the armory and were turned out
early yesterday morning.

A Little Black Dog Liberatrs lis Miss
tress Frem Fiendisii Grasp.

The Davenport Gdzette of Saturday
gives the following account of the man.
ner in which a small dog saved its mis-
tress from fiend's clutches, and made
himself subject of everlasting gratitude
and his little black hide a very precious
article:
Shortly before morning yesterday, the
police received notification of an attempt
ed brutal and fiendish assault upon Mrs.
II. Writ, at her home No. 500 Farnam
street. The negro who made the attempt
failed in the accomplishment of his OBJ
iect, but there are citizens who have made
an earnest prayer that they may yet hold
a rope with the black villain at the other
end.
Mr.. Writ was called down town by a
business engagement early in the evening
and did not return until about 10 O'Clock.
Then he found his wife suffering from q
nervous attack brought on by terror. She
had been called to the back door by a
knock a little after o'clock and upon
opening the door TO see who the visitor
was, found negro there He was big
bury fellow who had called at the house
about three weeks ago asking for food,
which was given him. He again asked
for food and Mrs. Wirtz started TO com,
ply with the request, when the brute
made grab and caught hold of her She
was terrified. but screamed loudly for
help Finding that there was danger to
himself from the noise, the negro tried to
gag her, but she struggled and a small
dog seeing the attack on his mistress,
rushed at her assailant aud bit him saw
agely in the leg. Surprised and panied
by this new attack the negro allowed Mrs.
Wirtz TO escape and himself made quick
tracks into the obscurity of the back
yard. Mrs. Writ went on through the
house to the sidewalk, still calling loudly
for help and then was suddenly overcome
and fell fainting to the sidewalk. She
was picked up and cared for by neigh
bors, and when she recovered her senses,
told her story. The police were notified
when Mr. Wirtz returned, and secured
the city all night in search of the animal
which would have bitten the hand that
gave it bread. They were unsuccessful,
however, and the strictest watch and
search yesterday failed to reveal the bids
ing place of the monster. Should he be
caught, and 1t IL 10 be hoped that he will.
it will fare very hard with the black for

The republican voters OIL the city heiu
their caucuses on Saturday evening in Il e
different wards TO npmin3te candidates
for aldermen, select Ward committeeman
and appoint delegates 70 the city-town>
ship convention to be hadat Turner hall
tomorrow evening. The Nomination for
aldermen, on the whole are not such as to
dismay the democracy. In the Third and
Fifth wards, they displayed lack OF con-
fidence in success to such degree as to
nominate no one, simply adjourning to a
later date. The democrats should en-
brace this opportunity of strengthening
their tickets in these wards, and no doubt
they will. The indications point to the
nomination of Alderman Cavanaugb in
the Fifth, as his course as alderman is
generally Endorsed in the ward.

lican caucuses Saturday night are as

when blowing, recognized the sound OF
the dinner horn. 1t could distinguish
q particular horn from all the other
hornsi in the neighborhood. Whenever
It heard that horn it would raise its
voice and commenced to bray. Another
man said that, once upon a time, he
owned q horse on a farm. and the
horse, too, became well acquainted
with the sound of the dinner horn,
and, in blowing corn or doing any
other work of that kind, the driver
would be forced to stop, unhitch and
take the horse to dinner, for the an
imal would refuse 70 pillow any longer.
No matter how vol the horse worked,
making a bee line across the fields in
running the pillow. its course would be
tor the gate the moment it heard the
horn. Nov, didn't that horse think?
anddidn't he reason with himself that

and a few minutes later the two women
were dead. Another trial was to come.
General Haynan sent for Renyi's future
wife, who was weaker than his mother
and sister. With wild cries the girl flung
herself at her low r's feet, pleading,
Speak, speak. Ferenez. See l am

ing to him as a drowning man clings
to his last support. The young Hun
garian was choked with tears, but
suddenly he pushed the girl aside and
turned away. Once more she cried to
him, but he did not heed her. Then
the soldiers seized her. BE cursed"
she shrieked; ''be cursed, you who let
me die; you who killed me; who are
my assassin" Renyi remained silent.
The girl was shot, and the prisoner
was taken back into his cell, but his
reason had fed and he was dismissed.
Some friends found him and gave him
shelter. After Hungary was once
more suppressed and peace establish
ed they obtained a place for him in
the asylum in which he has recently
died.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Hungarian papers o the
death OF old Ference Renyi, a hero of
one of the most terrible episodes of
the Hungarian war of independence in
1848. For t~hirty-six years Renyi has
been a lunatic in a Buda-Pesth asy-
lum, and the history OF his sufferings
is recorded after his death by the Petit
Parisien. Ference Renyi was a young
schoolmaster OF twenty-seven years
at the beginning of the war, proud.
handsome, and full Of buoyant life.
His pupils adored him, and he was
always welcome among the villagers,
whether he came with his violin to
play to their dances, or whether his
voice was heard among the patriots
chanting the praise of their country.
He lived with his mother and sister
and was engaged to a bright young
Hungarian girl, when the Government,
after proclaiming the independence
ofthe country, called all good patriots
to arms. Ferencz left his school and
enlisted in the ranks. One day aft
er having fought valiantly at the head
OF detachment ofsoldiers, he was TAX
en- prisonesby the Austrians. Brought
before Gen. Haynan, Reyni refused to
indicate the place where the rest OF his
regiment lay hidden. On learning that
his home was in q neighboring village,
the general cent for the mother and
sister and brought them into the room
where the prisoner was kept. Now
give me the information I Require, if
the lives of these tsro women are dear
to yon," said General Haynan to him.
Renyi trembled, his eyes filled with
tears, but he remained silent. 'sDo
not speak my son." cried the old
mother; do your duty and think not
