A Credit 10 the CITY.

Among the retail firms of this city
there is none that is more prominent than
the firm of Clemsnn & Salzmsnn, and
none that has done more to advertise this
city abroad Being liberal advertisers
their fame for liberal dealing has ex-
tended far and wide, the result of which
is that they number among their Gus
toners the leading citizens of all the sur
rounding country. Their trade from
Davenport alone is very large, among
whom are many of the best citizens By
the way only last Saturday they received
an order from prominent family over
the river for an elegant psrlor suite cost
ing among the hundreds, which
! they are now busy getting up.
One reason for their great success.
in manufacture and sale of fine suites, is
that both members of the firm are first
class mechanics who make their own deS
signs, which are new, unique aad pleas
ing. Their business has increased tC
such degree that they propose to en-
large the capacity of their second, third
and fourth flour. Immense as this es'
Enlistment is now, its capacity is taxed
to the utmost with elegant chamber
suites, parlor suites, easy chairs, fancy
| rockers fancy stands and desks hook
cases, etc-a brilliant array from which
to select holiday gift-one that will las
and which will be ornamental as well a
useful. Speaking of this firm being
credit to the city, no person who ha
lived in this vicinity long but will voic
the same sentiment. From a small be
ginning, this establishment has grown 4
large proportions by its supreme effort
to always be in the front rank.

and the societies interested may take
pride.

MERCANTILE MISFORTUNE.
The Unweicome Dame visits Two
Rock Island Business Houses in
Day.--Wm. Ramskiii and Robinson

The Unweicome Dame visit. Two
Rock Island Business Houses in a
Day---Wm. hamskiii and Robinson
4 Taliaferro Embarrassed.
According to the merchants say, if
there is one creature that survives this
weather more than another. 1t is an un-
welcome old dame known as misfortune, |
an imaginary being which has visited two |
Rock island business houses within the
past twelve hours and threatened others.
But Rock Island is not the only city she
has paid her respects to. In every city
of the west, assisted and encouraged as
she has been by unreasonable weather up
to the present time, she has intruded her
self upon many business communities
For long time the commercial
atmosphere has been impregnated with
rumors and even bold assertions of
what might come. and would surely
come if the weather did not change.
Delightful as the atmosphere has been
to the general run of humanity so far
this season, it has been unhealthy even
to the most critical stag, to the enter
rising merchant who made hay while the
sun shone and laid in goods for climatic
changes which did not come. The rever-
sal of the slang expression would have
been true In tnis case, for it was any
thing but "cold DAY when he got left.
Never before in the history of Rock
Island, has the approach of winter, wit
messed so extensive, varied and elaborate
a stock of winter goods in the local
marts than has the present. Many a
merchant staked his all in
his stock, and in some
instances. by this enterprise and daring
has the merchant persisted. The back
ward season has given a blue tone to bus
mess. Bradstreet reports this condition
of affairs to exist throughout the west,
where the merchant has prepared himself
in advance for the usual kind of weath>
er.
The report therefore that spread over
town last night that two of the business
houses of the city had closed their doors
was not received with so much surprise
as regret. Although it was known that
the reverses were to come. an effort had
been made TO enshroud the actual cOndi-
ton in secrecy until the assignment:
filed at the county clerks Office divulged
=; the facts. The first of these was that o
WIN RAMSKILL,
merchant tailor, who made an assign

CLEAR SAILING NOW.
President Holmes Removes Another
Obstacle.
He Steals March on the Rock Island
Read and Gets HIS cars Over the
ge---.Iojuncti0ns Granted--..
Track Building to Commence in the
Morning.

Ever since the street car syndicate
achieved the victory in Rock Island of |
getting the necessary rights to the bridge
the few in Rock Island whose selfish in
terests were alone affected by move so
important for the general public, have
been harboring the thought and chuck>
ling over it too, that Mr.. Holmes would
never make arrangements with the Rock
Island road that would let him over the
bridge. When that gentleman told an
ARGUS reporter a few weeks ago that
there were a few interests yet to har>
monte before the bridge line could be
built, the monopoly organ came out and
minated that ii would be a pretty long
while before Mr.. Holmes brought about
the desired harmony. But he has not
been sleeping, many as are the enter
prises he controls. In the superior
court of Cook county yesterday Mr..
Holmes applied for and obtained two in
functions restraining the Rock Island
road from interfering with him in his
operations over Rock Island tracks in this
city or the Rock island bridge. The FIRST
of these inJunctions is to RESTRAIN
the Rock Island road from interfering
| in any manner with the construction or
operation of the Moline & Rock Island
Horse Railroad company or its street
railway tracks and street railway cars on
Twenty fourth street in the city OF Rock
Island, Illinois, across Second avenue and
across the tracks and right of way
claimed by the said C. R l. & P. rail-
way company and adjacent to the prem>
ises."
The other is sought by and granted the
Davenport 6 Rock Island Street Railway
company, also of the Holmes syndicate,
restraining the c.. r l. s. P. road from
interfering in any manner with the con.
struction or operation of the lines o
railway of the said Davenport & ROcl
Island Street Railway company upon o
across the bridge over the Mississippi
which connects the island of Rock Islant
with the state of Iowa, and from remov
= ing or disturbing its rails after they have
been laid upon said bridges and from an
legal proceedings by way of injunction Q
otherwise for the purpose of delayin
said Davenport & Rock Island Stree
Railway company in the construction c
operation of Its said railway upon sal

As consequence of these newly &C
qured rights, Mr. l.. j. Luck, geners

BARLEY Csmpbell's comedy drama,
my Geraldine" was presented BY well
selected company 10 a fair sized and
highly appreciative audience at Harpers
theatre last evening. The play, like all
of BARLEY Camptell's productions, pre-
sents many exaggerated and unnatural
situations crowned by results equally as
far drawn. But the verse likewise chat
scteristic of the great playwright is beau
tiful. The Mary Carroll" of Marie
