A SENSATION.
Two Dates and Two Remarkable Letters
That Connect Them.

Two letters from the same person have been re-
ceived by the Edwin JOY Company of this city that
are of so remarkable nature and that relate such
miraculous tale that the company for while hesi-
tated TO publish them lest doubt be created in the
minds of the public as to their genuneness But on
this point they are prepared to satisfy
ncFedulous. The letters are from lady formerly
OF this city, but now residing In Napa County. We
quote first from her letter OF March 8, 1889. She
writes;

Although the above letter was written in March,

yet delightful denouement. She was stlll in the

THE WATER GAS PLANT.

The Moline City council Also Passes
Upon the Ordinance OF Davis Il 60.
FaverabIy.
The ordinance of Davis d Co. for the
privilege of putting in gas N aims and ex-
tensions came before the Moline city
council Monday night, as it did the Rock
Island the same night. aud likewise it
passed unanimously. Mayor Vessel
stated that company was seeking the
privilege of putting mains in the streets
and alleys for water gas to afford a sup
ply of fuel, power and light. In order
not to disturb the paving when laid. it
was sought to lay the mains on Third av>
enue first. The mayor called Tor the reads
ing by the city attorney of an ordinance
which had been prepared. % grant the
rights and privileges asked for. The
reading of the ordinance shows that it
grants to Thos. B. and s. s. Davis, their
| associates, successors and assigns the
privilege of putting down 10 the streets
| and alleys of Moline the necessary iron
pipes and lead connections for water gas,
under certain regulations and restrictions
The city reserves the right to grant SINH.
| lar franchise to any other company. The
ordinance is to be null and void unless the
work is begun in ninety days. The life
OF the franchise is to be twenty years.
| The company is required TO give bond for
the decentralization Of the city, etc. The
blank for the amount of bofd was filed
in by the figures $4,000
Alderman Daggett unders, God that the
object of putting this ordinance through
that night was in order 10 make as early
start on the work on Third avenue as
possible, to the end that the avenue
might still be paved this summer. s. S
Davis had told the speaker that he hoped
to get through on Third avenue in nine
tY days.
Alderman McBeth wanted to know II
the putting in of these mains. ETC., would
not prevent paving this season.
Mayor Vessel thought that it would
be unsafe to pave over fresh made
| trenches.
Alderman Dasgett said that s. S Da
Wis, who was regarded as nan of prac,
teal ideas in these directions, had as
sured him that there was no reason why
the street could not be paved satisfactor
lily in two weeks after the trenches had
been filled, as it was proposed to take
special care in filing the trenches Will
the view of paving over them.
Alderman Chadwick thought thai
something controlling the prices to bt
charged for the gas should be inserted il
in the ordinance. The ordinance was
unanimously adopted as read, with the
incorporation of an omen1ment, sug
gested by Alderman Gould that the al
leys be used for the mains n preference,

Big Blaze Mt nayepport

The river front was illumin ated shortly
before II O'Clock last night by flames in
Chris. Mueller's lumber yard at Daven-
port. The fire had gained such Roadway
that it was lesping skyward and licking
up great heaps of lumber before it was
fairly discovered. An alarm was sent in
and the paid fire department appeared
promptly and soon had eight streams
pouring water upon the burning lnmber
1t was a hard blaze TO handle and it was
long time before their efforts had any
perceptible effect, further than to retard
the progress of the flames The fire was
finally got under control, ter between
So, 900 and $1,000 worth of boards had
gone up in smoke.
Here is what the Democrat saws of the
work of the firemen and it is particularly
interesting to every business man in Rock
Island, now that dependence upon vol
uuteer system has resulted in the city be-
ing at present without means of getting
| its hook and ladder truck out in case of
fire:
Never was the value of a paid departs
ment illustrated better. The boys crowd
ed into the clouds of smoke and sparks in
an heroic manner, and it WAS owing to
excellent service only that the entire
stock of lumber was not burned. The
origin of the fire is shrouded in mystery
Sparks from locomotive are ont of guess
ton, as there is no track on the side of
the yard from which the wind was blow
ing. 1t was probably due to trsmps seeks
ing lodging for the night in some of the
comfortably inclosed spaces between the
lumber piles.

A MEMORY.

Ny heart is far away tonight
Beyond the blue of the southern seas.
Where the world lies wrapped in mystic light
And the red rose signs in the hush Of night
To her ardent lover, the breeze;
Where the pale acacia trembies and showers
Its petals of perfumed snow on the stream
That hurries over its rock brown bed;
Where the jasmine lifts its golden head
And the peoples nod and dream;
Where the purple foxglove hides the bee
That drowsily, heavily drones and huns;
Where the silvery waves break on the sand,
And the sea nymphs dance on the coral strand
When the hour of midnight comes.
And see his face, and hear his voice
My prince, with the shining soul Lit eyes
And feel his arms about me Irvine,
And the warmth OF his perfect lips on mine,
Meath the dusk of the southern skies.
And, OIL am sad and lone tonight,
And my heart is full of a lingering pain,
And list where the lilies breathe and move
For the tender, passionate whisper Of love
shall never hear again

Why the Negro Is Elacl,

A professor Of Johns Hopkins university
has an original theory to account for race
color. He attributes the color of the negro
to the deficiency of oxygen in the warm all
he has breathed. This causes a weaker

under the skin, just as a chimney with q
defective draft is choked with SCOT.
