right. After crossing the culvert at this
street, the engine, it is supposed, broke
the rail. The combination smoking and
baggage car and the first trucks of the
passenger car passed over the break in
safety. The rail was spread. however,
by the forward car, and the rear truck
of the last coach ran of the track. After
running across the ties for q short dis
lance. the kingbolt, which holds the
trucks TO the coach, broke and the
trucks came from under the car.
carrying the steps away with them.
The rear end of the car then rested
on the track and was dragged about forty
feet in this way. When the car first left
the track it ran against the tight>board
fence along the north side of the railroad
near the rear of VIM. Muellers boarding
house. and, striking q post, tore il out of
the ground and leveled the fence to the
earth. The ground was plowed up badly
and the track was considerably damaged.
Fred Fisher suffered some slight in-

and a sprained ankle, the ankle being

there could have been no thought that

years ago. 1t is really an ineeniouslv

An Enterprfsinx FIRM

Clemsnn & Salzmann, the furniture
dealers, are very quietly working up q
wholesale trade in upholstered goods,
having now two men constantly on the
road selling goods. Mr.. Clemann yester.
day showed representative of the Ar
GUS the result of their success in this de-
partment, and the figures there shown
was indeed great surprise. They have
lately employed two additional uphols.
terers. making now eight experienced
vorkmen constantly employed in that
department. and If they meet with the
same success in the next year that has
crowned their efforts in the last few
months. they say they will be able to add
about twenty-five families more to our
population, as they will need that addi-
tional force in their upholstering de-
partment. The heads of these families
will make from SIS to $40 per week
each, and will have steady work.

GIVE 1T UP.

A Citizen Asks Some sensible Ques-
tions which One Member OF Our
City Council May Perhaps Answer,
but the Argus Cannot.
Editor Of the ARGUS:
Rock ISLAND, Dec. Al always sup
posed that when party in city council
or other parliamentary body moved the
adoption of a resolution OF passage of q
law, that it was formal declaration that
the mover was in favor of the project,
and was not, for the simple pastime Of
setting up the measure to knock it down
BY voting against it.
1 notice by the proceedings of our city
council that sometimes a measure is pro-
posed and then the proposer helps to kill
il. How is this. Mr.. Editor? Is this
according TO parliamentary tactics, or is
1t new way that is just now being de-
velopedf ENQUIRER.
The writer of the above communication
apparently has reference to an alder
man whose dual action on matters
of vital interest to the city's welfare
has been more than once subject
VI CoInmcut IL was particularly HO-
ticeahle, however. at the last council
meeting. when he moved to adopt the or
dinance providing for the park commits
sioners, and then voted against it; and
previously when the railroad gate
question was up for action. He had al
ready publicly declared himself heartily
in favor of this means of protection at
Eighteenth as well as Twenty-fourth
streets, but when he rose before the
council he said he could not reconcile
himself to vote for it. yet the next instant
he Topped into such an attitude that he
moved the adoption of the very ordi-
nance, and when his vote was called he
turned a complete doable somersault and
landed on the negative side of the ques-
ton.
The ARGUS cannot answer the questions
propounded by Enquirer" as to the ex-
PLANTATION of this aldermsn's attitude, I'm,
less it is that he is of the opinion that

BETHURAN ACQUITTED.
The a., Il. Il q Fireman's Killing of
Nelson w as In seIf-Defense.

The a., h. Il q Fireman's Killing of
Nelson Was In seIf-Defense.
The preliminary trial of Henry Bethur-
an, the c.. B. & @. fireman, for the
murder of I've Nelson. at Beardstown
Monday night, occurred yesterday and
resulted In the acquittsl of Bethuran. the
coroner's jury haying previously exoner-
ated him of the charge also. on the
ground that the act was committed in
self defense.
The facts of the case. as briefly as they
can be stated. are that Bethuran, in
company with three fellow railroad men,
A. Herbert, H. Wright and T. Clinton,
were walking along the street. and one of
the number was telling q story. Follow
ing them were two women Cnobserved by
the boys. and upon reaching a certain
corner the boys stopped and by this time
they were all laughing heartily at the
narrative
them turning sharply remarked.
You are snickering at the wrong
parties and il you don't stop will come
back and slap you" this latter threat
being particularly addressed to Clinton
Clinton retorted by telling the woman
to go on about her business, that he and
his companions were not laughing at
them, and they wanted no trouble with
them.
The woman who had made the threaten
ing remark then proceeded to carry it
into execution and attacked Clinton
viciously.
Wright admonished the girl to go on
and attend to her own affairs, but she at
once addressed herself to Herbert in a
most obscene and unwomanlike manner,
and he replied in language very similar to
that employed by her The enraged fe>
male said her brother would attend to the
matter, and that was the last of the
quarrel. The boys sfterward separated
and later, Nelson. who was q brother to
the girl. after attempting TO disguise him
self, lay in wait for Herbert, and Bethu-
ran, whom be seemed TO have q particular
spite against, and jumping upon them.
first knocked Herbert down with q club,
and then dealt Bethuran two terrible
blows, the second of which felled him and
he was about to strike the third while
Bethuran was pro strsted. when the latter
fired the fatal shot, from the effects
of which Nelson died at 3 O'Clock the fol-
lowing morning.
