Rollin W. Squire's absurd claim that ne is
still Commissioner of Public Works was stepped
upon hard yesterday by the Supreme Court
General Term The decision does not go into
the merits of the casc-if it has any-but pro-
oc-ds upon the ground that the application
was not made within the time laid down in
The Code. The case is going to the Court OF
Appeals but the expect can hardly entertain
serious expectations Of being reinstated.
Justice Barrett, in sentencing Dunn to i'm
prisOnment for nine years and eight months
truly said that his guilt was. morally, greater
than that of Scott, who yielded to Dunn's
advice and robbed the bank Of which he had
long been the trusted employe. The Judge
also properly deprecated the practice of moneyed
corporations in compromising felOnies in cases
similar to this one instead of pressing criminal
actions against their unfaithful servants.
What he said on both points is sound and
timely. As for Dunn, his sentence is certainly
every whit deserved. He was not only SCOTS
tenn ter and cOparcener, but he was guilty of
black-heared mfaithfulness to his friend. 1t
was his cupidty which led to his punishment,
and the universal verdict is Served him
right
The contests in Virginia were suddenly
thrust upon the Republican Cow cntion yester-
day, but after a sharp paSSage-at-arms between
the respective leaders, MeSsrs Wise and Ma
hone, the matter was left for the Committee on
Credentials to decide. Mr.. Malone had been
selected as q member of that committee (he
Malone delegates at-larGe having been adj
mi;ted 10 the Convention by the National Com
mi,tce), and there appears to be good deal
cf justice in Mr. Wises protest against Mr..
Malone acting as Judge Of his own case and
the case CT his adherents. The Convention,
however, may be depended on to see these
Virginia contests fairly and impartially
treated.
In the midst Of the excitement and uncer-
tainty surrounding the convention in Chicago
the gathering Ct the League Of Republican
Clubs will be forced to OCCUPY MINOR place.
Yet, in comparison with the number of clubs
represented and the number of delegates on
hand in Chicago, the convention here in
Chickering Hall last December was small
affair. There arc 5000 Republican clubs in
the United States, of which 1000 are repre-
sented at Chicago. With so many delegates
there can be no common convention, but dele
gates from each State League are to meet in
a general conference. True t. its principles,
the League, as such, will urge the claims of
no candidate. It's task is TO arouse and vivify
Republican sentiment and the results of its
labors will be shown when the returns arc
counted

Mr. Gladstone may not be admitted to good
society in London, but when natural orator
is needed for great occasion like the death of
the Queens son-in-law, the aristocratic houses
consider it to be good form to listen respectfully

his straightforward matter of fact adj
dress and his prompt and business like

varied business experience, such as has
given him opportunity to famiiarize him

He was born at Davenport, May 10,
1860, and ut the age of thirteen came
with his parents, to this county, locating
at Port Byron, where he entered at the
age of fifteen, the employ OF the Port
Byron Lumber company as book keeper.
He served in this capacity for two and
half years. and in 1878 was engaged by
Taylor Williams to serve in Il similar
position at Rapids City. After a service
of nearly three years there, he went to
Atlantic, Iowa, and spent year there in
the drug business, when he returned to
Port Byron and became associated with
Mr.. John Schaler, the present county
treasurer, in the sale of dry goods. AT
the end of one year the CO partnership
was dissolved and Mr. Casteel entered
the service of the c.. NJ. & ST. p. road,

Two Boys SmOthered in an Oats Bin
AT Orion.
A terrible fatality occurred at Orion
yesterday about noon. Two boys, Lennie
johnson and Henry Holberg, both about
fifteen years old, accidently got into an
oat bin at the r. /. & p. elevator, from
which cars were being loaded, and both
were smothered to death. 1t is supposed
that Holberg, who is cripple, got Sin
first and the other tried to help him out,
but the effort was unsuccessful and both
met an awful fate. Henry Johnson, the
father of one of the boys, is one the
oldest settlers in this part. He has only
one child surviving, younger son.
Charles Holberg the father of the other
victim, is a carpenter residing in Orion
and has three daughters.
A gentleman from Orion. who called at
3 !, ARGUS office last night, said the boys
were taken from the bin about noon by
DIR. j. G. Long. There will be no in~
quest. none being deemed necessary.
The funerals will be held together with
services at the NJ, E. church at Orion.

In the convention Of the National
Butchers Protective association now in
session at Philadelphia, the following
resolution was introduced and adopted
Thursday:
Res0l0ed, That local associations of
each state be directed to see that bills are
introduced in the senate and assemblies
of their respective states to the end that
it shall be unlawful to expose. sell or Of
fer for sale, any dressed beef or any 9th
er fresh meats unless said dressed beef or
fresh meats shall have been inspected
aliUe within the limit of the state.
Further than this. the committee of
three appointed to prepare paper on
beef monopolies, submitted lengthy and
vehement report recommending the ex>
tension of the local live stock bill to all
cities in the United States, and this law
prohibits the sale of cattle for food
which have not been killed subject to
municipal sanitary authorities within
whose Jurisdiction the meat is to be re-
tailed.
This action all tends in the same direc-
ton as that aimed at by the city council
of Rock Island and which the ARGUS has
80 emphatically endorsed. 1t is indeed
gratifying fact to know that the great
mass of butchers of the country repre>
sented by the National association, should
favor a proper sanitary regulation of
their important business, and that the
spirit of selfish, narrow >mindedness dis
played by the Rock Island members does
not exist everywhere. Mr. Huesing, the
of the organized rebelli ing

street, celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary in pleasant and appropriate
name yesterday. 1t so happened, too
that the day of the week was the same as
that on which the happy event common
grated was soemnized half century
ago. The anniversary took the nature of
Ia family reunion. All the surviving
children were present-Mrs. Z. W BOyn-
ton and Mrs A s COrken, whose homes
are in the city. Mrs. II, E Taft and
Charles c., of Chicago, and William Il
in Rock Island, A number Of grand
children added Joy and brightness to the
occasion. A very happy feature was an
immense fruit cake placed upon the table
and containing golden fruit.
1t was on Friday, May 20, 1888, that
Mary Jane Crosby and Edgar Hilton
were united in marriage in Norridg-
wock, Somerset county, Maine, to
which village they drove from the
town of Madison, four miles dis
tlIt. for the purpose. Welded, they
returned to Madison, and went 10
in their own home. The
husband was mill,wright by trade
which means that he was flrst>class
machinist. He was employed in erecting
and experimenting machinery in mills
and factories until the war broke out,
when he was engaged by the government
for superintendent at Watertown ar
senal. Mass. There he remained until
Gen. Rodman was appointed comm and
ant of the arsenal here, and the general
Mr.. Hilton with him. Hence
or more than twenty years Mr.. Hilton

he arsenal and armory on the Island |
With his home In this city. Mr. and |
Irs. Hilton's ONE is one of the brightS |
st and most pleasant in Rock Island and

appiness that they look back over the
fly years which marks the period of

MIR. Hass at Work,

Our Fred Hass, the committee of one
Mems association to present before con.
gress and the secretary of war the
urgent necessity of immediate attention
to the dam recently washed away, and to
which more extended reference is made
elsewhere-is doing his duty at Wash>
ington, as the following dispatch to the
St. Louis Globe. Democrat shows:
Col. Fred Hass, of Rock Island, III =,
arrived in the city today, and is stopping
at the National. He is here to ask the
immediate reconstruction of the
government dam at the Rock
Island Arsenal. The dam was washed
out by the flood on the / tn inst, and, as
a result, the immense water power which
it furnished has been destroyed.
Not only has the machinery at
the government arsenal been
stopped, but the many factories
in Rock Island and Moline, which were
dependent upon the dam for their power,
have shut down. and $500 workmen are
out of employment. The citizens desire
to have a temporary dam constructed
until the old one can be rebuilt, and for
this purpose they ask congress to appro-
pirate S25, 900. This will enable the
mills to start up again, and will furnish
the Golfer dam, which must in any event
be constructed before the old dam can be
rebuilt. The secretary of war will be re-
quested at once to furnish an estimate
with the details of the damage and the
necessary bill will be pushed through
both houses as soon as possible. 1t is
estimated that $225. 900 will be needed
to build the temporary structure and re-
place the old one,

Clever Detectives Run Down . Gang oI
Train Robbers.


MEMrHIs, January 27.--For several
years passenger trains in Texas, Ms.
souri,, Colorado and elsewhere have
been held up by bands Of marked men,
Who ROBBED passengers, express com
panies, mails, ETC., and in many instsn-
ces killed or wo"nded persons who
were brave enough to defend property
IN their possession. The railroai,
State and express authorities offered
large rewards for the capture of the
daring bighwaymen. but without Of
feet.
Early in December last train on
the St. Louis and Arkansas Railroad,
near Genoa, Ark, was signaled by red
lights, and the engineer brought II TO
a stop he was immediately confronted
by revolvers in the hands of masked
men, vino compelled him to accompany
them to the express car, which was
forced open and soon despoiled Of it's
most valuable contents, despite the re
sistanoe of the messenger in charge.
The robbers fed to the woods, and soon
after were pursued and overtaken by
the Sheriff and posse, but after a run.
ming fight, in which many revolvers
were emptied, the thieves escaped.
As this was the frat successful at
tempt in many years TO depredate up
on the Southern Express Company, it,
officials, with the cooperation OF Pre-
sident Fordyce, of the railroad com
pauy, Immediately placed the matter
in charge of Pinkerton's agency with
directions to use every means to cap
ture the gang. Detectives were sent
to the scene, where was found ''slick
err" or oil cloth coat. This garment
was made in st. Louis, an investiga
tion there ELECTED the names of store
keepers in Arkansas and Texas who
were purchasers Of such goods. Each
of the latter were visited in turn with.
out result until dealer in Waco, Tex
as, not only recognized the coat, bnt
accurately described the man 10 whom
it had been sold.
This clew, coupled with other cir
cumstances. led to the arrest in the ip
terror of Texas of man named Brock
who was brought to Texarkana and
there fully identified by the engineer
of the SHIELD up train as the man who
held revolver to his head while going
to the express Car. As denial was
useless Pinkerton's men then induced
Brock to admit not only his participa
ton in the affair, but also to revea
some much needed information.
| As result two men were arrested
on Sunday last by the Chi-f of Police
of Montgomery. Ala. One escaped
The other is James Burrows. Renber
Burrows, who escaped, did so by kill
