The Ross civil service.

Boss Wells has already inaugursted his
civil service ideas in the postoffice, and
Mail Carrier McDarrsh, one of the most
efficient on the force, falls the first vic
tim. A few days ago the boss. not yet
postmaster fifteen days, asked McDarrah if
he would tender his resignation, to take
effect the first Of the month. Carrier
McDarrah replied that he had no reason
to resign. as he was perfectly satisfied
with his job. This morning the boss
again approached McDsrrsh, and asked
him if he lad not changed his mind.
and why his resignation was not forth
coming. To this Mr. McDsrrah
replied that he did not propose to resign,
and that if he wanted to get rid of him to
remove him without any foolishness OF
formality. The boss became enrsged and
will of course concoct a scheme to bring
McDarrsh's removal under civil service
restriction. He would have appeared in
q much better light had he bounced Car
rier McDarrah at once without snesking
about the bush to do 1t or of attempting
to hoodwink him into resigning. The
boss has a personal grudge against Nc
Darrah and has chosen this way of max
ing him party to his own scheme to ge,
rid of him-but 1t didn't work.

Theatrical

Tonight the gifted young actor, Mas
ter frankie Jones, appears in Hsrpers
theatre in the first of three excellent at
fractions written for him especially.
Speaking of this company the Moline
Dispatch saws:
The Frankie Jones company scored
another fine success at the Wagner last
evening. the second one of its appear
snce here. The Sea Wait was the play
presented. While it does not afford the
supporting company as good an oppor
tunity to display the talents of the sew
eral members as did 'Disowned,' all did
themselves and the play fine justice.
Nrom a spectacular standpoint The Sea
Waif is the compsny's best play. The
scenery in each of their productions is
special and fine. but the great tank scene
in last nights play is most realistic, and
was so manipulated that there were but
| few in the audience who did not imagine
themselves for the nonce looking upon q
real storm on q real sea, and spplauding
the heroism of the boy VITO ventured
across the bay on such q night This sea
scene is indeed fine one.
|
blnation appears st the Burtis. at Daven-
port tomorrow night, and is composed OF
the best talent in the musical world.
Campininl, the famous Italian tenor, has
q worldwide fame, and Myron W. Whit
ney, the grandest Of American bassos, is
not inferior to him in reputation or abil-
ity. Miss DE We're, who lie termed as sec
ond Gerster, is new to this vicinity. but
her renown has preceded her, while Miss
Clara Poole. an American contrslto who
has won proud recognition from q dozen
other lands. is known to all who love the
music of the human voice. Sig. Bologns
and Sig. Duzensi, basso and tenor, are
two gifted children of sunny Italy who
are possessed of remarkable voices and
who will please all who hear them.

MISHAPS OF A DAY.
John Whelan the Victim Of q Dire
Misfortune.
An Arm Cut on and Other Injuries
sustalned IN the Rock Isinnd Yards
- Other Accidents.

James Whelsn. young man twenty
three years of age. whose home is in
Sheffield where his mother re sides, and
who has been employed by the firm of
Larkin & Stephens, Mr.. Larkin being his
uncle. met with terrible mist )rtune and
one that will probable cost him his life
shortly before 3 o'clock this morning.
How it happened will probably never be
known, but at any rate he was run down
by passing switch engine in the Rock
Island yards back OF the Gable mansion
and near the target where the Rock ISL
and and the Burlington tracks cross, his
left arm being crushed to pu p and in
| juries sustained about the head, which
from appearances, must prove fatal.
Whelan says that he attempted to cross
the track and thought he had abundance
OF time and the next thing he knew he
picked himself up at the side OF the track
his left arm banging in shreds and his
head bleeding and terribly cut. He made
his way to the target house, few rods
distant. and Henry Gest. the rarget ten
der. took the sufferer in and made him as
comfortable as possible, while he tele-
phoned the company's surgeon, DR.. s. c.
Plummer. On arrival the latter saw at
once that the injuries were of very seri-
Gus nature and he ordered that the man
be taken home at once, but alter it be-
came evident that st. Luke's hospital was
the best place for him and thitler he was
conveyed. There Drs. Carer. Barth
and Plummer found the lef. forearm
and arm from thes elbow up to the
juncture of the middle and upper third
crushed and mangled in a most shocking
manner. and smputation about three
inches below the shoulder joint was nee
essary. On the right side OF the
head there was scalp wound about
three. and -a>half inches long, while
the frontal bone was depressed and
communicated from the coronal suture
forward three inches, by one snd half
inches in width. The wound las the APP
pearsnce of being cHt by the fiange of
the Car wheel. The doctors found the
operation of dressing this wound very
difficult one, as large quantity of small
particles of bone mad to be picked out
before it could be dressed, and while the
patient is rational, they state the chances
are against him. as the reaction from the
shock must produce very severe results.
Whelsn is unable to tell anything of
the circumstances of how he came to be
that neighborhood at that hour. He
was dressed as if going away an it is sup
posed was bound for his homs at Shelf
field. Appearances are that he was
dragged about twenty-five feet under the
locomotive.

Two Residences Destroyed Inside of 4
Week.

week.
On last Thursday night about | o'clock
the entire town was aroused by the ring
ing of the fire bell, and il was soon dis
covered the alarm proceeded from the
residence Of Mr.. Thos. Ratliff in the
Northwestern portion of town, which
was wrapped in flames when first discov-
and was soon completely destroyed with
its entire contents.
Mr.. Ratliff can't explain the origin of
the fire, bat is certain 1t did not originate
from lamp or any fire which had bee n
left by the family, and it seems probable
that il was the work of an incendiary
cape in their night clothing, and lost be-
sides all their furniture and clothing S154.-
so in cash which they had in the house.
About all the firemen aud citizens could
do was to prevent the flames from spread
ing to Mr.. Marshalps and Mr.. Leary's,
which were seriously threatened.
But for the fact that MIR. Ratlitf had
two hundred dollars insurance on his fur
niture and eight hundred on his house,
he would have been left in the world ut
terly destitute. As it is, his loss is fully
five hundred dollars or more.
Sunday morning about three o'clock
the fire alarm again rang out on the slum-
bering town, and this time it was found
to proceed from the residence Of Mrs. Geo.
Arid, which being small frame house,
was almost consumed before the fire en-
gine reached the scene. Every effort was
then bent to saving the residence of Mrs.
Hubert, next door, which had caught
fire from the intense heat, and by the
most heroic efforts of the tiremen and
others, it was at length saved, though
damaged to the extent of some two hun
bred dollars.
The fire is supposed to have origina-
ted from stove or fireplace in Mrs.
Ards kitchen, where there had been
cooking late the night before. Mrs. Arid
says it was we'll under way and hersel
and children nearly suffocated by the
smoke when she first discovered it.
Nothing was saved from the house ex-
cept the contents of the two front rooms.
The entire contents of Mrs. Hubert's
house were removed for fear of the
threatened destruction.
Mrs. Ards loss was about seven or
eight hundred dollars, covered by three
hundred and fifty insurance in tbs PhG |
nix of Hartford. The damage to Mrs.
Hubert house is fortunately fully cover
ed by insurance.

Are We to Have Another War:

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that MS it may, the battle waG-
ed by medical science against disease will
never cease until we arrive at that utopi-
an epoch when the human family shall
cease to be afflicted with bodily ailments.
One of the most potent weapons which
the arInory of medicine furnishes, is Hos
letters Stomach Bltters, which is of spe-
cial utility as II family remedy, as it is
adapted to the immediate relief and nj
innate cure of those disorders of the stOm-
ach, liver and bowels which are of com
monest occurrence. Indigestion, bilious
ness aud constipation are inseparable COM
panions, and these ailments are complete
ly eradicated by the Bitters. But the
remedial scope of this superlatively
wholesome and genial medicine takes in
also nervous ailments, rheumatism and
kidney troubles; it's action in these, as in
the other complaints, being characterized
by unequalled thoroughness.
