ANOTHER OBSTACLE.
in the Passage Of One of Ats EieerIe
Railway Ordinances at Moline.

hhe H0imrs syndicate Strikes a Soag
in the Passage OF One of Its EieerIe
Railway Ordinances at Moline
The Holmes syndicate has encountered
another obstacle to the success of its
Third avenue electric railway ordinance
in Moline. AT Monday nights council
meeting in that city Mayor Vessel stated
that he would have to veto the street
railway ordinance-not in opposition to
the measure-but because there were
some Irregularities. and, in fact. the
council had no right 10 pass the ordi
usnce at the time. The mayor then read his
message, the particular ground of objec-
ton being that notice of the spplica-
ton for right of way had not been pub
lished for ten days, Col. Henry Curtis
being present. was called upon and stated
that the company was satisfied with the
ordinsnce, but that SIS it already had an
ordinance for one line upon which it could
work 1t was in no hurry for the other
until the legal requirements could be full
hlled. The company had. however, not
had time to give the required ten days
notice prior to the NEE ing. but would be
ready to ask for the franchise at the next
meeting. The mayors veto was then sus-
tanned.
The Dispatch now suggests that the op,
portunity is ripe to force the syndicate to
double the track OF the Moline & Rock
Island line all the way through from this
city To Moline

Tho P.r.on,s Awkw.rd nIl.tak.,

Not long since Brooklyn clergyman, who practices what he breaches on the Hill, was called to attend to funeral in 8 Long Island town. Not being at home when tho messenger called, he did not have opportunity to inquire con- corning the deceased, and, by some means or other, got the idea that it was the mans wife that had died. When he addressed the mourners he spoke very feelingly to the afflicted husband and sympathized deeply with him in the loss of his wife. The clergyman noticed several times, however, during the discourse that the audience seemed . little uneasy, and he was almost horri- fed once to think that he perceived some of them trying hard to repress 8 smile. When the casket was opened and permission given to view the re- mains, the preacher stepped forward and-it was an old gentleman, and, he soon learned, the father of the young man who came for him to attend the the funeral, while the healthy-looking wife by his side had been listening to her own funeral sermon

STOPPED THE FIGHT..
The Bulls Were Doing Their Best when the Turtle 1nterfered.

Tho Bulls Wore Doing Their Best When the Turtle Interfered.
 At Stony Ford, on the stock farm of Charles Bachman, two Holstein bulls were pasturing in different fields, one on ono side of the Walkill river and one on the other side, writes a Goshen (N. Y.) correspondent. There had been a bitter feud between the two blooded animals for a long time, and few days ago one of the bulls took position on the river bank in his pasture and bel lowed a challenge to his enemy. the other bull. This was quickly answered by tho Holstein, and he lost no time in getting to the bank on his side of tho the Walkill. The two bulls stood in that way believing and muttering and paving dirt for long time, each work ing himself into deeper rage, until at last one bull could contain himself no longer and plunged into the river and swan toward his rivals domain. The rival did not wait for himot get there, but jumped into the river and swan to meet him. Tho two ugly animals, their tempers uncooled by their bath, met in midstream and attempted to have the matter out right there. The lack of footing and the strength of tho current prevented either bull from making any telling assault, but each tried his best to do battle.
 While the bulls were putting and bel lowing in futile rage in the stream, the one that had jumped into the river first suddenly gave a tremendous below, and, turning about, pulled back for his pasture, believing Justify all the way and shaking his head violently. He reached the shore, drew himself out, and scrambled up tho bank. Then the cause of his sudden panic and retreat became apparent. A large snapptng turtle, for which the Walkill is noted, had been att tracted to the spot where the bulls were fighting in the water, and the tail of this bull presenting an appearance to it's liking, the turtle had closed his powerful jaws on it well up toward the butt end. This attack in the rear was | moro than the bull had calculated on,
 and he pulled for home. When he got ing about the field and making such a | rumpuS as that farm had never known | before.
 The other bull, when it's foe retreated
 so noisily and suddenly, seemed seized with panic, too, and swan back to his
 pasture as quickly as he could. When he climbed the bank he gazed back al l the strange circus his rival was having
 and uttered not a sound. After tearing
 about the lot two or three times thu
 bull the turtle had caught succeeded il
 shaking the snapper loose. It wal
 picked up and subsequently, sent to

 WAsa1NoToN, Juno 24.-General Hen derson, chairman of the River and Har- bor Committee, has thrown out the in timation that tho President intends to veto the River and Harbor bill if it is not materially reduced.
 General Henderson says that the bill as passed by the House was even too large. but that under the clrcum- stancss every body had to be taken in in order to get it through.
 The Senate has made a great mistake, he added, in taoking on four or five ad- ditional millions, and particularly, he says, 1t should not have increased tho appropriations for the Mississippi river. It is quite probable that con : ference of the friends of the bill in both houses will be called soon to take steps to shave the bill down in order to save it from the Presi- dential veto.
 It has just been reported from the Senate Committee on Commerca and 1 now carries a total appropriation of | about twenty-five million dollars.

IT IS now rumored that the Nesting house Electric company dosen't mean to rest its chances of defeating execution of murderers by electricity upon the re- suit of the appeals in the Kemmler case; but it will start legal fight for the re- turn of the dynamos that have been SUD- piled to the state for Sing Sing, Auburn aud Clinton prisons. These dynamos were bought surreptitiously. Harold Brown, the electrical expert, knowing that the Westinghouse company would not sell the dynamos for the purpose for which he wanted them, induced outside parties to buy the machines presumably for ordinary business purposes. The Westinghouse company alleges that it does not sell its machines outright, but leases them, as telephones are leased. Il thinks it has a string attached to them that will draw them back from where they can cast discredit upon their system of electrical lighting and power to theil own possession. The Westinghouse company has abundant means to press the suit, and it will never allow it's ma. chimes to legally put a man to death it it can prevent it. Meanwhile the wires will legally burn hapless victims to death whenever they come within range.

He Left Some of it on the Fence and was
 Identified.
 No soft, balmy breeze toyed with the whispering leaves. The uplifting depths of Heaven were not flushed gold, nor did the silyery moon let fall her rays like a mantle of beauty OCT the earth. No fairest and loveliest of created things, with dropping lashes and mur- muring voice, nestled close to a manly breast, while the aroma of chewing gum permeated everywhere.
 Not much.
 It was a dreary, black night, with a mournful wind soughing through the naked trees.
 An attempt was made to burglarize the dwelling of Policeman Gassaway, who was of on duty, says the Austin ,(Texas) Statesman.
 Mrs. Gassaway heard the housebreak- CT and scared him of, and the next morning found clinging to tho fence a piece of coat-tail left behind by the would-be robber as he scaled the fence. Tho piece of coat-tail was sent to the City Hall Museum.
 Four or five weeks elapsed and ter rite row occurred on Sixth street.
 1t startled the neighborhood at a very late hour Wednesday night, and Officer Gibson, wide awake as usual, went down and scooped coon named James Grant.
 He was yanked up before Recorder Hamilton the next morning, and while holding gentle conversation with him An officer noticed that Q part of Jim's coat-tail was missing. He bethought himself of the museum and the relics therein contained, and went and got the piece of coat found on Mrs. Gassaway's fence some four weeks ago. ..
 It matched Jim's coat exactly, and to certainty 1t had been torn from 1t.
 Jim was then held to answer the charge of attempted burglary, and to his infinite disgust he was turned ovey to the county officers,

A TRIANGULAR CLASH.

There is Trouble Over the Appointment
 of Customs Appraisers
 WASHINGTON, June 24.-There Is snarl between the President, tho Treas ury Department and the politicians over the selection of the five appraisers as authorized by the Customs Adminis- tration bill.
 Secretary Windom Is determined that the men shall be experts, the President desires mon of national reputation, while politicians are clamoring for politicians, who naturally are lawyers without qualifications for the position A "slate" had been agreed upon last week, and was to have been sent to the Senate to-day, but 1t has been broken, and new one will now have to be made.
 It is understood that the four Demo- crats have been agreed upon, there having been far less friction over their selection. It is now possible that the names will not come in this week.
