4, Might Have Rrep Murder.

The wife and daughter of Roger Dwire.
the man whose dead and mangled body
was found in the c., r. I. s. p. yards at
Davenport Tuesday morning with evil
dences of having been run over by the
cars, state their belief that Dwire was
not killed accidentally. but was murdered
for his money. Mrs. Dwire obtained
divorce about three months ago, since
which tine she and her daughter have
lived in Davenport and Dwire has made
his home in Muscatine. He had some
property down there. farm at least and
probably other possessions. Mrs. Dwire
says that he was in the habit of coming
here quite frequently. when he would see
his daughter here and another who is
married and lives in Rock Island, and
that upon such occasions he invariably
brought with him from 500 to $780,
His pockets contained nothing when his
body was fognd. and upon this, in con.
nectioD with other circumstances, is
based the theory OF murder. The view
of the wife and daughter seems to obtain
little credence among the other people
who have come in contact with the case.

Where Are the GaiesY

The time is past due when the Rock
Island and Burlington roads should have
provided the gates at the Twenty-fourth
street crossing and the roads are subject
to heavy penalty for every day that
elapses between the day specified and the
time the requirements of the ordinances
are complied with The mayor has a
letter from the Rock Island road, setting
forth its inability to agree with the C. =.
b. & Q as to the joint action of the two
roads in putting the gates in. This is of
no concern to the council. Public safety
can not be endangered because of the
failure of the two roads coming to terms
1t the city permits itself to be incon yen~
fenced and delayed on this account. the
time when the gates will be put in may
remain indefinite. The gates were or
dered put in by certain day and the city
council should not cOuutenance any de-
lay. The gates are imperatively needed
at this point and should be put there as
the council ordered.

ENtrication rrom Excavation

team of handsome greys from Sni-
der's livery. being driven down Second
avenue last evening attached to car
rage, fell into an unprotected water pipe
excavation near the corner OF Twelfth
street. and both animals were helpless in
an instant, though they became piteously
frightened and struggled desperately TO
get out. A large crowd gathered about
the scene, ropes were secured, and
after working an hour and half the
horses were extricsted, DR.. Gait oversee
ing the work and directing the efforts to
relieve the horses from their misery.
Neither horse was at all Injured, strange
TO say, but harness and vehicle were
damaged somewhat.
The excavation was so small that
after the horses were safely out it was
difficult to conceive how they had both
been edged into it, their position being
with the lower parts of the bodies down
in the hole and their heads and fore legs
above the surface. II was most pecu-
liar thing that the accident was not att
tended by more serious results

NEWS AND NOTES.

The decision of Collector Erhardt
CLASSIFYING sO-called wOrsted cloths for
mems attire as woolens, subject to duty
as such, gives great satisfaction to the
wooden trade, except the few who inn
port the 80 called worsted cloths. A re-
porter for the Mail and Express called
today on several merchants in the cloth
trade, and they agreed that the Collec-
tor Ia right. Mr., join F. Plunmt I
said Il am glad to see that the Collec-
tor has had the courage to decide the
matter promptly. 1t is not right that
wool should have different classifica-
ton merely because it is combed in one
instance and carded in another. The
distinction intended by the tariff was
for merinos, alapacas and dress goods
for ladies wear, not for cloths. The
trade generally believes the Collector is
right in his decision, and that he can
look after American interests in prefer
ence to British" A member of the firm
of BALM, Joseph & Co. importers Of
worsted cloth, said I'VE have expect
ed this, The wooden, manufacturers of
the United States were in league against
the worsted cloth, as they formed a
strong competition against the wooden
cloths, on account of they being made
cheaper. So they have succeeded in
getting the duty fixed at high rate. We
shall have to pay it, but will do so under
protest. aud appeal to the Secretary of
the Treasury. do not expect much re-
lief even there"
The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the complaint
made by VIM. II. Heard against the
Georgia Railroad Company establishes
the fact that the company violated
the law, and that the railroads are
bound to furnish white and colored pas
sengers equal accommodations. This is
a good point to have settled. but we do
not see that Mr., Heard receives any re-
dress for the brutal indignfties which be
anffprph

INTERESTING TO OLD SOLDIERS

Assistant Secretary Bussey has render
ed an important decision in the pension
care Of Mary E. Mcneil, widow of Alex
ander Mcneil, late private in Company
d. One Hundred and Nineteenth Illinois
Volunteers. The case involves the i'm
portant question of Zine of duty" and
Assistant Secretary Bussey's interpreta-
ton of the law with respect to it is even
broader and more liberal than in the
zimmerman case. The claim was orig
inally rejected upon the ground that the
soldier incurred his injuries, which are
alleged to have resulted in his death,
when not in the line of his military
duty, 1t appears from the statement of
facts in the claim that the soldier re-
ceived the injuries while engaged, in
camp, in a friendly wrestling match
with comrade. There does not appear
to have been any malice or bad blood
about the affair, and the injury to the
soldier seems 10 have been purely acct
dental.
Mr.. Bussey says "He was at the
time in camp, where his duty as a SOL
dier require him to be, and in indulp-
ing in harmless and innocent athletic
sport of friendly character he was not
acting in violation of any of the rules
and regulations of the service, nor dis
Obeying any commands Of bis superior
officers, nor con !ucting himself in an
unseemly or unsoldier-like manner, nor
doing anything calculated to disturb or
transgress military discipline and good
order. The Government placed both
the soldier and his comrade with whom
he was wrestling in the position where
it was both natural and proper for them
TO indulge In such athletic sports and
exercise, with the consent of their com
handing officers, and consider that it
would now be an altogether too narrow
and technical view to hold that an acct
dent resulting therefrom, under the cir
cumstances Of this case, would be incur
red out of the line of duty and therefore
not pensionable."
For these reasons the former decision
is reversed, and the Commissioner of
Pensions is directed to place the name
of the widow on the pension rolls. In
speaking Of this decision Assistant Sec
rotary Bussey said today that he was of
the settled opinion that soldier is in
line of duty, within the meaning of the
pension lave, when he is not engaged IN
violating any order, army rule or regu.
lation, or violating any instruction of
his superior for the police regulation of
the camp.
