DavenpOrt's Bad Cutters.

Gustav Eklund, Davenport jeweler
formerly Of Moline, has sued the city of
Davenport for $500 damages. He states
in his petition that during the summer of
1888 he occupied part of the basement
under the First National bank. carrying
on the jewelry business. These premises
front north on Second street and east on
Main street. The streets extending
north and south were guttered to
carry off surface waters down to
the river. During 1887 the city per-
mitted the contractors of several street
car lines to tear up the street and place
culyerts over the cutters on Main and
Harrison streets. These cutters were too
small and narrow 10 allow the passage
and flow of water down the hiilsides to
be conveyed TO the sewer. A RAIN storm
on July 8, 1888, came along, the cutters
were choked and overlooked to such an
extent that Eklund's basement was mum
dated with wafer, mud and filth, there
being at one time three feet of water on
the floor. This was cleaned out, but
great damage was done to his stock, fix
lures and tools. Besides, the place be-
came unhealthy and he was obliged to
to move. For these reasons judgment in
the sum of $500 is demanded.

A Useful Dummy

The electric street railway in Daven-
port might take advantage of the novel
invention of Clinton man named Gibbs
He says that one of the difficulties in the
way of the securing of electric street cars
in many places Is the fact that horses are
invariably frightened at the sight of a
street car moving along without a horse
hitched to it. So he has invented an
automatic, mechanical horse to be at
tached to the front end of such cars. The
concern looks like a horse in shape and
size. and can be painted black, white,
gray. bay or any color desired. When
the electric motor moves the car, the
"horses" legs are set in motion, his tail
is sgtated to let the public know there is
no flies on him, and he performs other
features of like character. Mr.. Gibbs
thinks he has bonanza in his invention
and has forwarded to Washington an ap
LEGATION for patent.
1t the arrangement could be gotten
anything like reasonable, our city coun.
Gil ought to provide all the hose carts but
the Frankins with them and then the
small boy might push instead of pull and
in this way appearances might be bet
tered, if not efficiency.

The New Packet COmpayy

The plans OF the new st. Louis, ST.
Paul and Minneapolis Packet company
are to run the Gem City and War Eagle
in the Keokuk and St. Louis trade and
the st. Paul between the CITY of that
name and st. Louis. Traffic arrange
ments with the Diamond Jc line similar
to those observed during the navigation
season of 1883 will likely be entered into
If the stage of the water and the weather
conditions permit, the War Eagle will be
entered In the st. Louis trade as early as
February. The boats of the line will be
thoroughly repaired before entering SER
vice, $4,000 having been appropriated
by the new company for that purpose.
Mr.. Van Mort, of Quincy, has been ap.
pointed general agent, and is inspecting
and completing arrangements for an ear
ly opening of the season. While it is
conceded impossible to make the river
trade what it was years ago, it can be in
creased and made fairly profitable.
As a. regulator of railway rates and
preventive of excessive transportation
charges, the Mississippi is of inestimable
value to the cities and towns situated on
its banks. If both packet companies
should retire from business 1t would still
be valuable. The river would still be
there and excessive charges would soon
result in the establishment of new lines

says an exchange, growing out of snub
given that order at the funeral of Sir
Knight Robert Blackiston in the Copgre-
gational church in that place recently.
The obsequies were conducted with MAJ
sonic honors, and the Rev. A. Bushnell,
an avowed opponent of secret societies,
was chosen to preach the sermon in the
Congregational church of which he was
pastor, and was to have been assisted by
Rev. Woodruff,a veteran Methodist di-
vine of that place, who it was thought 10
have been thoroughly understood was to
offer prayer from the pulpit both at the
opening and close; but when the time
came and the audience had taken poses-
sion of the house, the Rev. Mr.. Bushnell
arose and stated that if Mr.. Woodruff
wished to come into the pulpit as repre-
sentative of the church and word Of God
he would be welcome. but as a represent
tative of a secret society he would not be
received without protestation. This was
considered by many present as a strange
speech on so solemn an occasion, but
they succeeded, out of respect to the de.
parted and the mourners. in quelling
their excitement, and the funeral went on
without further interruption.

Supt. Schnitger has permitted no mud
to stick to his feet during the past week
Of mild weather. for he has put 10 his
best ticks at laying the westbound track
of the double.line west from Twenty first
street to the junction of the new and old
tracks on Second avenue between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets. The bulk
OF the filing along Twentieth street
south OF Second avenue and on the latter
thoroughfare west of Twentieth street is
in. and 1t only remains to complete the
gaps either way before the road will be in
condition to inaugurate the seven minute
service by bringing the Union cars down
Thirty'fifth street and turning them into
the tracks of the old line from tn at street
west to Fifteenth street. This will be
accomplished by the middle of next week
at the outside, some track laying on
Twentieth street south of Third avenue
and the building of stretch west of
Nineteenth being all that is necessary
now.
The curve from the bridge line into the
Moline and Rock Island tracks at the
junction of Third avenue and Twentieth
streets was put in Yesterday, and the in
tersection of these two streets is now a
perfect net work of tracks looks verv
citifled indeed. Rock Island will surely
be street CARBON when the Holmes
syndicate operations are completed.
Meanwhile the paving of the tracks
across the island progresses, but it will be
long time yet before it is done. The
government is making a thorough job of
it and when the pavement is down 1t will
be there to stay. The causeway will be
entirely paved while at least half of
Armstrong avenue will be paved. The
space between the rails on the bridges is
being covered with hard wood flooring,
the idea of Mr.. Holmes to make
things permanent while they are at it
being carried out to the letter.
